    GM~
    • Congrats on the shiny new whip, SGM!!!! 😎. Love the color scheme!
    • Long day yesterday and another long one today. C'mon weekend.
    • Extraordinary shortage of PT techs in our area. Called four places to get scheduled and still have to wait two more weeks. Ugh.
    Cheers,
    Skip

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Ok, Skip made me go look at Facepage. Congratulations on the new truck Dave.
    • If you want to come to GA I have a great Physical Therapist I hopefully won't need for much longer.
    • Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to the Doc I go.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Yeah, the dealer sold the Tacoma I was looking for, but we found another, with fewer options, that is really closer to what I was originally looking for - and for a substantial savings. The new truck is a 2023, but was sold in December, five months ago, has 2,600 miles on the odometer, and was traded in already. Do you have a cousin out here, Skip? I'll be sitting on the driveway figuring out the owner's manual, today.

    SGM - an iPhone in your had with YouTube are your best friends to learn most tech options on your new whip. Simply type into YouTube the issue for 2023 Tacoma and a video will launch to show you.

    e.g.: 2023 Tacoma pairing phone or 2023 Tacoma garage door programming.

    I just turned 5k on the Waggs. The 2025 Defenders are now open for ordering. With limited allocations, dealer is trying to get me to order one. I've not decided.

    Good Morning,
    Doctor ordered PT for DW last week, first available evaluation date is May 29 after calling 3 different centers.
    Congrats on purchase Dave.
    Skip, might as well go ahead and order you know you are going to trade unless you are thinking a different vehicle.
    Hope to hear Brandy is traveling down the road today
    Chauffeuring this week: DW, DMIL and DGD. They are keeping me busy

    Morning gang.

    Hooray for new trucks.

    My sister is a PT and she knew about the shortage coming. Combo of aging population, increased pickleball and more schooling needed to get licensed.

    4 of our 6 Amazon packages are waiting in lockers for pick up. The rest should be delivered today. We have to go to 2 different places but both are near hotel.

    We are also buying an umbrella for Ron's massage gal. She wants to offer massages on the beach.

    Today is Tai chi cLss then Mexican train Dominos if I get my packing done.

    We are planning to leave here by 6 am so we have all day to shop. Ron will be up anyway and I can doze in the car if needed. It's about a 4 hr drive. Likely won't check in tomorrow.

    MFP is bound to block us one of these days 😎

    Sounds like an umbrella on the beach would be a happy ending for all. The sound of the waves, warm sun, cool breeze. I’d definitely be happy

    Nice truck Dave.

    I didn’t get a recap of the week but, what’s up with the back skip?

    We had a not so great time in Florida due to circumstances outside of our control at home.
    First. Our dog sitter sucked *kitten*. We paid her $30 a day, $30 so my flowers didn’t die, stocked the fridge with her requests. 6 steaks, turkey, cheese, bread, cereal, apples, sweet tea. She left the dogs alone for over 12 hours the first day. She didn’t take out the trash or yard waste bin. She never swept. Got home to a huge mess and 3 flowers never watered. Oh and the worst was she locked the dogs out of our bedroom and Ruby scratched the crap out of our solid wood door.
    Then, on Wednesday I got a phone call that a very very dear friend died unexpectedly. So so sad.

    • “Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are I am free at last.” MLK Jr. Took a short ride on the bike this afternoon.
    • Sorry about your friend Kelly.
    • I recommend Pro Motion PT Sam.
    • Enjoy your trip to the USA Steph.
    • I bought a Sleep Number bed today.
    • Skip, I head you can do that with a Samsung Galaxy phone too.

    I want to hear what you think about the sleep number bed. Did you get a king? Split sides?

    Soor6 vacation was less than great.

    Happy endings are a thing here. In the storefront places there is a 😃 in the window. I only know because our Spanish teachers husband went. He was not expecting and therefore not happy.

    There is a Sleep Number Memorial Day sale going on now. We got a queen size iLE 360 Smart Bed model with an integrated base. We've always had a queen bed and this allows us to use our existing bedroom furniture. It will be delivered on the 31st.
