    G'Morning~

    Can you tell we missed each other!! Pupper Tucker hasn't left my lap since we got home yesterday!

    Uneventful flights home. Glasses were ready....AND THEY FORGOT THE TINT! Ugh.

    No contracts so I guess "the talk" is coming.

    Catch up day.

    Mornin' BBB.

    Kelly, I demo'ed our kitchen a few years ago, including removing the old flooring (tile). Not a fun job. I wouldn't be physically able to do the floor work now. Once you get all the new flooring in, it will feel like it was worth it.
    Sorry that the Chase Bank nightmare continues, Steph.
    So glad your trip was somewhat pleasant, Skip. Am sure Tucker was glad to have his hoomans back home. Did he destroy anything while you were gone?
    Dennis, did you ever read "Zen, and the art of motorcycle maintenance"? I used to work in the library at Okla State and checked it out multiple times to other students, I never read it but thought the title was intriguing. It was required reading for some class. Not sure it really had a lot to do with motorcycles.


    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Welcome home, Skip. Now get it sold.

    Working on a non-lathe-related shop project: building drawers to go under my heavy old workbench. It's fun figuring things out as I go and crawling around in the sawdust.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Welcome home Skip.
    • Lee, I started to read that darn book several times, but the title is very misleading. I failed to make the connection.
    • Dave, my friend who walked the Appalachian Trail the year before last is leaving this weekend to start the Pacific Crest Trail. His intent is to make it from the Mexican border into Canada this year. He has two partners.
    • Prayer said for Roarke's interview. Hopefully, if I am ever on probation in WI I'll get some leniency.
    • I need to have an uncomfortable conversation with someone from church this morning. I am not looking forward to it.

    Good morning

    Good to read "pupper" Tucker instead of the previous - "mother". Can only mean he was a good boy and Missed!

    DH actually said the words: sell his Harley this spring. Hmmmm.?

    Ds2, ddil, dgd all went to the doc appt yesterday for the anatomy 3D ultrasound. Every is developing normally and they for sure could see babys everything. Very cool. He weighs about 12oz and is the size of a grapefruit. 20weeks. Due date still July 19th. Ds2 was so excited telling me about this visit. Makes my heart happy We didn't have all these imaging tests back when I had babies. You had an
    ultrasound only if they had concerns.

    I've already made a crock full of chili this morning. Going to treadmill now and then get to work.

    Be well BBB

    Good morning.

    Really, Skip? Haven't they messed up on the glasses order like four million times already?

    Kelly - there's an age when you stop.moving things yourself and asking friends for help. That age is around 30.

    Leaving for the conference in a bit. T&Ps for my liver and patience.

    T&Ps for Roarke's interview! He'd be great in that role! Empathetic mixed with no BS!

    Yep - original appt in Oct.

    They switched labs and sent wrong lens size.

    Second order they forgot the transition and tint.

    Third order - they BROKE my frame in the shop when installing the lenses.

    Fourth order - no tint (the lab admitted they messed that up).

    Yep - my patience is waning!

    SNAP request for 11a showing this morning. UGH! I hate this. DMIL and Aunt are still in bed. Whirlwind cleaning and lights to get out by 1045a. LET THIS BE THE BUYER!

    Morning BBB

    I don’t envy the house selling. Hopefully this is the buyer.

    Today is the day I finish password cleanup. I hope. Got to the “S” yesterday. Glad I’m going it but what a pain.

    Yay Skip!!!

    The title company can give a closing appt though in.2.weeks? Highly unlikely?! They dreaming. Take that long to do the title search. And no inspection? Nice!
