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.

    Mornin' BBB

    Scooped hood and gazing at stars at night...either a 'stang or a 'vette convertable. I'm guessing another corvette.
    Still hot and muggy. Dehumidifiers are running on overtime.
    Day off. Getting a long overdue haircut, what few hairs I got left. Then semi-annual with GP. I'm down 30 lbs since last visit, thank you WW, so I hope the conversation will be more upbeat. At least my bushy eyebrows won't embarrass me.

    BBB OP ;-)

    GM~

    Hot.
    Vacation starts today.

    My spirit is wild, my heart is like thunder,
    Conquering traffic while onlookers wonder.
    What am I, this ruler o' paths....
    With power to avoid most obstactles wrath?

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I like Lou's guesses.

    Rough-turned a walnut hollow form from a wet log, yesterday. I'll try to get something done again, this morning. Only way to reduce my big pile of wood is to plug away, a little at a time.

    Taking Rita to the movies, tonight, to see "Horizon ..." Or I should say she's taking me. I'm a sucker for a western.

    Good morning

    Didn't catch much, didn't keep any. Nice day on the lake though with friends. 9 to 3 maybe 4 keeper blue gill, 5 small ones, 2 small bass. Great company though, nice time, good weather.

    I'm with Lee on the vette.
    Be it a stang, gotta be a big block Cobra convert, though.

    So mice trashed our little 97 popup with king beds. 3k out the window. Lots of canvas and screen damage. Figuring over winter. Where does one junk it, I wonder? I may put it on marketplace for free.

    Good morning BBB friends.
    • Visit to the Urologist was uneventful, which is good. Celebrated with a lunch ride to a local BBQ joint.
    • Skip, if you're looking for the inside scoop on living in Wilmington, I know a guy who still has contacts there.
    • I've been streaming a British TV series called Mallorca Files. I think I could live in Mallorca. Of course, I would need a ragtop BMW like the guy in the show.
    • Walnut sawdust must have a value?
    • Bummer on the guest room Mary.

    Morning BBB

    Sorry about the pop-up Mary.

    We have exactly 9 weeks left on our lease. Probably time to figure out what next.

    Yesterday our Spanish class got canceled but we didn't know it so since we were out already we went for a drive. We toured the newest resort. They are just starting to build a non weekend rental building. It's very nice but OMG is it overpriced. The 3 bedroom non end unit was $800,000 plus an HOA to be determined later but the completed building next door was $650/month for similar size. The 3 bedroom end units were $1.5M and nearly sold out. Crazy. But this one plans to allow 3 month rentals so in 3-5 years when it's finished we have a new option if we want to come back here.

    Good Afternoon,
    Thanks for all Birthday greetings,
    Stress test showed heart rate too high, have changed several medications. Today is first day on new med and I feel totally drained.
    Knee popped Tuesday, now hitting a very tender spot occasionally.
    Rubicon with 6.4L V8 has 470 horsepower and could take one anywhere.
    Sorry about mice Mary, is it not worth new canvas; frame should be fine.
    If condos are selling that good could be a good investment. My issue with another country is that country could declare nationalization and take property without paying full value.
    Down 30 pounds, CONGRATS
    Continues HOT!!! after they claim a cold front came through.
