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.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

    Morning~

    #MotherTucker won't eat breakfast; alas, after 30 minutes of trying I'm awake and it's pointless to try to go back to bed.

    Home Depot today for some fans order.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I see a band of wet snow across much of Wisconsin, today. That makes me feel better about our cool rain in Tumwater.

    Church, this morning, then whatever Rita wants to do.

    Good morning!
    We are all set up! Darn shower wall is cracked errr. It's temporarily fixed for now. I'm online looking at a trade up lol.

    Yeap Dave, 4 to 6inches of slushly snow coming through the lake area later tonight.

    Temps went from 82F yesterday to 44F now at 7am and raining. We are packed up and heading back home. Any luck we can stop at a Cafe for breakfast.

    Talked to my neighbor at Lake house, they are under contract after just a few days for 750k. No contingency no inspection. And he has a back up offer for 20k more but with inspection. Moving to AZ by their kids.

    I bought his stand up paddle board and floating foam lake mat.

    Congrats Steph! All that walking and biking you do has you in tip top shape!

    Good morning.

    We saw ZZ Top and Willie Nelson last night out in New Braunfels. It was a very good show. Because ZZ Top is so loud, we hung way back but wedged ourselves close to the front for Willie.

    On the way back to Austin, we'll be stopping at the evil outlet mall. There's a Pottery Barn Outlet there, so she'll get one more bite at the apple on furniture shopping along with whatever other torture she can imagine.

    A Willie Nelson story. In 1980, the last year I lived in a barracks at Fort Hood, my roommate was a great runner. At the time, Willie was into running, too. My roommate won the Texas Relays Marathon, in which Willie ran. As a result, Willie invited my roommate to the ranch he had outside Austin. So, my roommate spent the weekend partying with Willie Nelson and the bevy of young women who hung around the entourage. Lucky break for a young soldier.

    Morning BBB

    We’ve been hiking with the group from our neighborhood. MWF and Saturday. Means getting up at 6:30 to get the dog walked and meet them at the gate. I like it, but boy was sleep in day grand. Many are Canadian and going home soon.

    No plans today. Maybe a long walk to the Malacon (water front boardwalk) with Teddy.

    What a great photo of ole' Willie! He's timeless!

    What a cool experience for the young soldier, SGM!

    Finished elections for VFW District. Elected to serve as a trustee. Not sure I have more time to commit to much more - but will find a way to make this work!

    On phone for over TWO hours with Home Depot to place large order. Ugh!
