    Mornin' BBB.

    How was the hike, Dave?

    Interesting that the CC is opening up in...Omaha? In the NE, they are still ruminating on even starting with the wee ones. Most higher learning facilities are talking online courses only.

    Raining here, finally. Much needed.

    Sorry such a bad day, Kelly. Hope today goes better.

    Where did the comment "I don't need anymore Glocks..." come from? Ha! Am like Sam. Same with fishing equipment.

    Dog training was super hot yesterday. Felt a little weird at the end. Better once I got some more water in me.

    Wow. Tried to find white vinegar for my cucumber salad recipe. Went to two major grocery stores and they were out. Finally found it in a gallon jug at a small local grocery. Seems like there is a run on white vinegar for some reason. LOL.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning!

    TGIF!

    What made yesterday crappy?

    Happy Hour usually fixes most bad moods :smiley:

    Count away.....

    Dennis - how's Kris recovery?

    5 more days? You know I'dve had the CEO on the phone by now ripping him an earful! Pitiful! I loathe most misattempts at accountability and customer service these days! Amazon has earned my business.....retail will continue to die a slow death....

    Friends b-day last night. I gave my AMEX for one of the 20 somethings to go get Hooter's....HOLY CRAP! $200 later! Lesson learned.

    Did I mention - TGIF?

    Good morning

    The first thing that popped onto my mind reading Skips post on AMEX was " dont leave home without it". Funny how that was their marketing tag line that came out in 1975 for American Express Travelers Cheques. Dont leave home without them. Who remembers this lol!

    I'm loving these half day Fridays at day job, but wonder why bother at all? No counting gigs posted up yet. So maybe HH with frozen tequila drinks are in order with SO on our deck, I have strawberrys that need using. He"s off at 1430.

    Hang tough Kelly hope today's a great day!

    The vinegar rush is likely going hand n hand with the stay at home let's all plant gardens. They now want to pickle?

    Hasta la vista! Be safe oxox

    Good morning.

    Moving company says a truck should be here on Monday. We shall see...

    A guy from work offered to take me to a gun range tomorrow morning because he knows trying one is a bucket list thing for me - even though I'll never own one. And Cecilia wants to go to IKEA for some reason when every piece of crap she could ever want will be crammed into our apartment on Monday... .

    So I'll be at IKEA tomorrow... 😔

    Morning BBB

    We got up at 4am and were in the road by 4:45. I snoozed for a bit and we just made a bathroom stop. In Kansas. It's a 10 hour drive without stops. We should have time to stop at Costco in fort Worth and still be out by rush hour traffic.

    Sisters college is in Hastings. It's in central Nebraska. Population 25,000. Few cases there. No face mask requirements except for a few stores. Both families schools start in person school in 2 ish weeks including sports. I anticipate that will change eventually. I see very little social distancing in their towns. They did in March and April but without major outbreaks these little towns just went back to normal. Both towns have populations of less than 1000. Dad's is 22.

    Good Morning BBB.
    I worked non-stop while Tom was up north (he is home now) and I accomplished my goals!!!
    August should be more normal - so you will see me more 😍
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Small towns are the place to be now. It works well until somebody goes to a party in the big city and bring it back with them. Our problem is the lake draws big city folks here on the weekend and guess what they bring with them?
    • DW is doing fine. Ortho Dr. said no broken bones and took her off the finger brace. Strapped the bad finger to a good one and said she needs to move it. The knee with 5 stitches is healing well. Some pain but she has drugs. She's good about trying to limit their use.
    • Don't forget to buy trash bags at IKEA Lou. I'm speaking from experience. Come Monday you'll wonder why you brought some of that stuff.
    • I've come to the conclusion Glocks and 9mm ammo are nowhere to be found. The are as elusive as toilet paper was a few months ago.
    • BTW, I have TP in my IRA.
    • Heading your way this afternoon Sam. DW says we need to make a Wally World run.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Yesterday's hike was a tough one. I got overheated and had to slow way down, for safety's sake. Ended up not getting home until almost 8 - I told Rita I'd be back around 5. All's well that ends well.

    Good Afternoon,
    Census sent e-mail saying 8 hours training Monday after I told them I had yoga class Monday; we will see; no time for training but location over 50 miles away. Not impressed with their organizational skills.
    Will take DGS to pool later in afternoon, sun is not my friend; causes rash; water still too hot
    Putting beef brisket on Weber for smoking over night
    Safe travels Steph and Ron
    Enough elbow bends helps one tolerate family and inlaws
    3 hours late would have caused me to receive silence for a good while
    I would suggest not purchase anything till moving truck empty and all put away and will bet there is stuff that will need to go.
    Hope all have a GREAT weekend

    Lol, Sam you'll get the most from the do it yourself online modules, anyway, and the app on the I-8 phone anyway. But you have to show up in person first, to get the phone and your credentials...

    I still have no count assignments. But least I'm 100% in like Flynn completed. No appts tomorrow either. Come on! let's roll. I have a boat in a Iake I could be on.. I guess it was a hurry up and wait exercise hmmm.
