    Morning~

    Puppy tested limits last night; mouthing with razor teeth, anything with skin exposed. Not sure why he was so wild. We went to bed early to calm him down. He missed out on day care and happy hour at pal's house to expend some energy - perhaps that was it.

    Praying for neighbors special needs son - who has been in Children's Hospital ICU with lung issues for a few days - no improvement. He such a sweet kid. Hope today is the day he turns the corner.

    NOCAL will be a great trek, Steph!

    Cheers for a great BBB day!

    Morning all.

    We have about 88000 miles on the car. It’s a 2014 so still well below average…that what you get for buying a car from grandma. :). I think it had 35k when we bought it.

    Today going to Dr to get a few skin spots removed. Then home to let pool inspector in. Electrician were here yesterday and the lining gets installed on Thursday. It’s been too cold for the pool anyway but would come back to this sit so excited to see it finished.

    Need to research car insurance today. Ours with geico went up substantially. Have access to USAA due to Ron’s dad so will start there. Maybe they will offer an umbrella policy too. That’s hard to find for nomads.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    One thing about Sassy I don't miss was that mouth full of needle-sharp baby teeth. She used to regularly draw blood with innocent mouthing. Walking helps her stay calm, Skip. Rita keeps track of our exercise on the kitchen calendar. I started taking Sassy on walks Sept. 28, when she was 11 weeks old. In the last three months of the year, she walked 234 miles. We only did 68 miles in January, but we had some lousy weather, too. All that time out walking provides lots of mental stimulation. And the guy holding the leash benefits, too. Just saying.

    Finished two more wooden eggs - I have nine of the dozen I am turning for a friend's Easter baskets. I am making them from pieces of scrap wood around the shop. I try to find interesting grain or figure to add interest. I'm pretty pleased with the results, so far.

    Good morning BBB friends.
    . Good ride to Asheville yesterday. Headed home today. Heated gear is good.
    . USAA is a good option Steph.
    . It's not Tuckers fault.

    Good morning.

    I'll second USAA. So far, they're working like a champ for me.

    Good Morning,
    Prayers for neighbor Skip
    Beautiful day expected here, rain coming in Thursday
    My experience is it is fun to play with pups and let them play but their aggressive playfulness needs to be curbed or they will continue to get more aggressive; just like kids best to set bounds early.
    Many times an insurance company will be the lowest in one state and much higher in another state; this year I came out best with Travelers previously Farmers was lower.
