Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

    Mornin' BBB.

    Well? Has a name decision been made?
    No St Paddy's day celebration here. We are just sticks in the mud.
    Exciting day dog training with Lucy. First time shooting over her. The Force is strong in that one.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Nice neighborhood gathering on a cul-de-sac last night. We have a talented couple who gave a concert. Check out the Lockdown video they did: https://youtube.com/watch?v=yRTbm-WBkbw
    • I'm headed to the VA in Augusta this morning. A routine visit with the Audiology Dept.
    • Stella is starting to grow on me.

    Morning~

    Nice day of bracket busting over some green pints. Brackets in good shape with the exception of Iowa. WTH!

    TGIF!

    Never cared for Stella. Miller Lite.....tastes great.....less filling!

    Bob and Cat are awesome. Like that they are Yankee fans.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    I am feeling mentally slow, this morning. You guys have lost me. I don't get the connection between Stella and Miller Light, and have no idea who Bob and Cat are.

    My dad used to try to name his cars, but to his frustration they never stuck. As much as he tried to go with Cranny and Bel, we just called them the '51 and the '63 (we were a Plymouth family). Last week my son asked me whether we had a name for our new auto. I told him, "Yes. We call it 'the car.'"

    Good morning.

    I went for a walk after IU's spanking and found myself in the middle of St. Patrick's shenanigans. Highlight was seeing a guy throw up on a bush trimmed to look like the Easter Bunny.

    Dave, as you probably have surmised, Stella may be the name of Dennis' new crotch rocket. Stella is also a name of a beer. Kelly likes to personally replay the scene from "A Streetcar named Desire". I like to be a PITA.

    Morning bbb

    Park City was fun. We browsed the shops (Ron is looking for the perfect jacket…great fit, full zip, no hood, packs small and not fleece so less pet hair). He tried on several put no purchase. We were tucked into our hotel room before mist of the st patty’s celebrations started. It’s spring break so lots of families here. Our hotel room was $750. Crazy. Glad I have points to use.

    We will head to Reno today.

    I like Stella.

    Subbing at school today
    Rain expected this afternoon
    Weekend should be clear with highs upper 60’s
    Toad will be out somewhere over weekend
    $750 a night too rich for me even using points

    Wow $750. Oucharooni.

    No green beer that was crazy but we could get a green little beer which is a shot of 43 with heavy cream on top to look like a little beer. We passed. Sounds like Lou had the fun.

    Yes, you nailed it Lee. STELLA!! I keep thinking of Elaine from Seinfeld yelling it.

    We don’t name cars here either.

    I went for a 1.8 mile run/ walk. We will see how my back responds.

    Make it a great day!!

    I Like Stella! Obviously!

    Otherwise if she was a Harley:
    Jemma.... think SOA!

    I'm working on invoicing today. Wait, I'm not in accounting dept. Wait, after looking around, I am. No one else works here. Lol

    I'm watching Wisconsin Badgers, and Ohio State, of course. Bets on nobody. No bracket even here. I'm too busy.

    Lou must have been out in college town Area! Poor bunny.

    Have a great day, tgif!

    I'm back...
    • Visit to the VA Hospital was quick and efficient. Hearing is about the same, but I am getting a new pair of high-tech hearing aids in about 3 months.
    • Made a visit to Ft. Gordon while there and that was not as quick or efficient. Turns out I needed to renew the sticker on the back of my VA card and that turned into a game of Who's on First. I finally made it to the PX and determined I really didn't need to be there.
    • Dave, Stella is the leading candidate for my new motorcycle's name. I'm thinking Stella Kidd from Chicago Fire. She is a bad azz.
    • Bob and Cat are my musical neighbors (see YouTube link above).
    • Who knew there were so many Irishmen in Austin?!?

    Dennis - that nonsense is enough to drive me to say words I rarely use......low tolerance for the incompetence factor. Long gone is efficiency and accountability!

    #Stella Kid and Chicago Fire - GREAT series!

    I got the proposed name for Dennis' ride. Never heard of Stella beer. Must be regional.

    Ron likes Stella. Especially Stella cider. I can do without it.

    Made it to Reno. Now off to find a brewery.

    $750 was rack rate. I paid 1800 hyatt points. Tonight's stay is 8000 points.

    I would rather Stella than Miller Lite. They say opinions are like a certain orifice, everybody's got one, and they all stink but mine.

    LOL! TRUE!

    Viva le' Miller Lite!
