    Good morning.

    I've been up since 430 and forgot about the eclipse. In my head, Tuesday night meant tomorrow (Tuesday into Wednesday). It's just about done by now and my coffee is on the balcony facing the other direction. 🤷‍♂️

    Long day ahead today. The Foundation hosts an election watching party so I have to smile and eat pizza after hours. Then get home and pack for Nashville.

    G'Morning~

    Is today the day the senseless ads and incessant commercials cease?

    Safe travels to N'Ville, Lou!

    Sipping on coffee but still not returning to work today. Gonna take another full day of this short week to get back in the swing.

    Tucker is up and full of energy this morning. Despite the 7 balls in my eyes view, he was crying to get the one and only one lodged underneath the recliner! Haaaa.

    DW busy decluttering closets and I spent most of day cleaning out garages and scrubbing the floors in preparation for realtor showing on Thursday. Sold my mountain bike (it was never going to be a sport I truly got into....) and snowblower (if I have my way, we should not have need for one in NC).

    Cheers,
    Skipper

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Glad things are staying down, so far, Skip. Hope your recovery continues.

    Nothing planned for today. I do have a woodturning club meeting tonight.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Emmaus group this morning.
    • Enjoy Nashville Lou. I have some good memories from trips there.
    • Good to hear from our Cuba travelers.
    • It will be good to have the elections behind us, although there is a strong belief we'll have a runoff for our Senator. May the best candidates win.
    • Heal quickly Skip.

    Good morning

    Power ball #10. That I had. But thats all I had so $8.00 yippie. Didn't cover my spend. Oh well no chance at all if ya don't play.

    Our WI governor race stinks imo.

    My eyes hurt today. I think the infusion meds did help the redness and soreness, just not permanantly ot any retraction .

    Lisa, how is DS1 doing Now?

    Skip, did you already buy a place in NC? Hope you heal up Nicely and can get some grub.

    I've not been to Nashville. Have fun Lou!

    Good to see Steph check in

    Wheres Kelly been?!
