    Good morning.

    Prayers for DB continue, Dennis. ๐Ÿ™

    We we to the BBQ place yesterday, but the line was out the door, so we left. Went to another BBQ place instead that wasn't particularly good. It had 4.7 stars on Google, and I can only assume that grade inflation was involved or that the folks doing reviews all were members of the varying sports teams they sponsored.

    Mornin' BBB

    Prayers for your DB, Dennis.
    Butta**cold in CT. Ice fishing derby nearby yesterday. Dropped in for maybe 30 minutes to chat with the guys before heading to club housr for an egg sammich.
    You gotta do Franklin's or Goldies in Austin. Salt Lick is not a bad option either but that might only be in Houston. Sorry your experience wasmt great, Lou.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Echoing what others said, Dennis.

    Franklin's is going to have a line around the block. People wait hours to get in there. There are lots of little, off-the-beaten-track barbecue places in Texas. We used to love a place in Belton, but that's an hour north of Lou. Try them at random, I say, and make your own reviews.

    The back is a little better every day, but still hobbles me quite a bit. The walls are already starting to close in around me and I still have nine days until I am cleared to go out.

    Morning BBB

    We are heading an hour north to Homosassa Springs state park for a hike and to see the manatees. I'm hoping it's not crazy crowded since it's a Monday and not particularly warm. If Ron is up to it there is a $3 cruise. I have nothing to take for a pack lunch so we will eat out or at least stop at a grocery store for snacks.

    He is feeling good enough that if he gets an all clear or at least no answers at the next two Dr. Appointments (Jan 26 and Feb 2) we will probably start slow traveling again. So I'm trying to eat down the pantry and go back to our more normal just buy what you need for 3-5 days.

    Good morning

    Hopeful that he is feeling up to that for you guys, Steph!

    Prayers continue for Dennis and DB and family.

    Icey roads here this morning and I have a haircut at my lunch break. The salter just went past the house, so I'm assuming the highway will by fine by noon for my car travels about 15min. away.

    I am really struggling with my weight gain and quest to lose it. Just isn't happening for me, and I'm experiencing some internal depression because of it. I need more help than I'm getting. I know self help is the key, too.. Sighhhhh.

    Be well BBB.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • No news on DB. He is supposed to be in ICU in a medically induced coma for 5 days. Thanks for all the prayers.
    • A good day of football yesterday. A nice excuse for staying in the house where it was warm.
    • I like the Homosassa Springs / Indian River area. Glad to hear Ron is doing better.
    • Every business wants you to fill out a survey now and they don't really want the truth. They want the maximum rating.
    • Our temperatures are supposed to be on the rise, but rain is headed our way. I'll take it.
    • Keep improving SGM.

    Good Morning,
    Pablo at groomer, first time since we had him, tomorrow he will be five months old.
    DGD was at rodeo yesterday and got kicked by horse, broke arm very swollen where they cannot tell to what extent. In cast till sometime in February where they x-ray again and see if growth plate is damaged.
    Having family night at lodge tonight, need to fix cocktail sauce, get bread and fry some chicken strips for those who can't eat low country boil. DW made two cakes to take.
    Dave, hope you continue to improve, know it is boring but do not do anything to set you back.
    Prayers for brother Dennis

    Holy smokes Sam. How did that happen? Poor kid.

    Glad to hear youโ€™re improving each day Dave.

    Continued prayers for your him Dennis.

    Glad Ron is having a good day. Hopefully you can get the hike in.

    Iโ€™m at dr office now waiting errr. I have to have blood work and a tiny physical per insurance.

    Mary, I have gained and lost the same 5# too many times. Itโ€™s ridiculous.

    Take care all. 12 days until we cruise woo hoo.

    I tracked my food intake identically today in mfp and in ww app... Does this make sense?

    MFP says 1,052 calories
    WW says 26 pts
