    Mornin' BBB.

    Looks like Brazil is one hour ahead of EST, correct? Glad you found some coffee.
    Love the photos of the wild ponies, Steph.
    Maybe Pastor Sam needs to buy the Neighborhood Mission Trailer. Is it a food truck...like a soul food truck?
    My head would have exploded, Dave. Glad Rita got your blood from a boil to a simmer.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Out for Cajun food, last night. Really good. Have to go back to that place. I thought about Sam, as I munched on fried okra as an appetizer. I am not usually an okra fan, but deep-fried and sprinkled with hot sauce anything is tasty.

    I'll take Sassy out for a stroll, this morning, then, perhaps, start on refinishing the next park bench at church.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Glad to hear you made it Lou. I'm sure Cecilia is glad to see you.
    • I managed to get both cars washed yesterday.
    • Stella, Toad, Heidi and a friend are off on a lunch ride today.
    • It's almost vacation time Skip. We used to have business retreats on Marco Island.

    Good Morning,
    With HOA regulations do not allow a trailer would have to rent a place to keep it.
    As Dennis said Toad, Stella and Heidi are going for a ride, took Toad to yoga class Wednesday, was able to control clutch and gears; God is good. Time to start getting out again.
    Reckon home grown tomatoes are finished for year, hope deer have a major belly ache.

    Steph, you and Ron are rocking this lifestyle I can't even Imagine! Thanks for letting us live it through your experiences! Wild beach horses, amazing!!

    Just after baby got his bath last night, the rv hot water heater took a dump. Glad it was after. DH already has it torn apart and is off to the rv parts store for a new relay $19. Should have hot water again in a couple hours. Newphew, his Wife, their 4yo and 2yo arrive at 4pm today. Dgd Angel comes after work tonight. Hope she's ok with the drive alone. She landed her new job at the doggie daycare & motel. And couldn't ask off this soon. I appreciate her commitment to her new job. She
    wants a career working with animals. This is a good start. We will have a full house til Sunday. The lakes Inn is at capacity!!!

    Morning gang.

    Our easy spin yesterday turned into a 30 miles ride (except for a little hill at the beginning super flat and easy ride) at about mile 15 we rode past some mean dogs. Thankfully another biker had warned us so we had rocks to scare them of with. Had planned to turn around near there but on the other side of the canal but that side was fenced off. So we decided to keep going towards Scottsdale. We found a brewery right on the trail and had a few pints and called an Uber to take us home. No way could I do 30 more in the desert heat, especially after beers.

    Met up with some other nomads want to be's for Mediterranean food last night. First restaurant food since we have been in Arizona.

    Today woke to no internet after huge winds last night. It's 10am and it was finally just restored. Thankfully the power was only out for a brief time. I can live without internet for a long time, less so with power when it's already 90+ Today is rest day, 8m making soup and might make cornbread after bit. Mynnew Oura ring says to take it easy today and I plan to listen.
