    Mornin' BBB

    Do you have a photo album of all your vehicles, Skip? Watched a movie called "A Bad Day" on Netflix in which Russell Crow was an RPA pilot. Not sure why, but the character he played reminded me of the Skipper, even though Skip is much slimmer.
    M is home. All is right in the world. The cat is especially happy, and the kitchen is now sparkling again.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Ok, Lee, I can't find a Russell Crowe movie by that title. So, what did you watch?

    Sitting here scratching all the mosquito and black fly bites from my hike. Those seem to pop up about one or two days after I get bit. Unpleasant aftermath to my hike, on Friday, but worth it.

    Planning church this morning, then errands in the afternoon.

    Good morning.

    3-hour nap yesterday and I still slept last night.

    Skip seems fixated on seeing the sky, so I'm thinking Popemobile now.

    I think it's Land of Bad, Dave.

    Flight suits add about 25# to your appearance 😂

    You are getting closer!

    Morning BBB

    Brunch with ds1 and ds2 and fam, then airport drop off.

    Then home to a hot date pressure washing our house and garage exterior. It needs it!

    Lil T loved his ride in his Silverado battery operated truck. Party was a success too!

    Skip has obviously a convertible of some sort ordered. Jeep ?

    Be well BBB

    LOL, yes, Land of Bad. Bad Day totally different. Sorry.
    "Flight suits add about 25# to your appearance" Probably why Russell didn't wear a flight suit in the movie.
    I'm thinking, from all the hints...

    Morning BBB

    Last day of the tour de france. Ron's pick is likely to win baring catastrophe. My pick crashed out the first week.

    Today is our lazy day...might go hang at the pool and I'll probably make a mojito or two this afternoon. My little mint plant finally seems to be producing leaves.

    We are planning a trip to San Carlos for next wee k ( further down the sea of cortez) to see if we want to spend several months there next fall or if we should just stay here. We had planned to spend 6 weeks in the US but with the election turmoil its just not going to happen. It's hard enough this close to the border to ignore. We like it here but it's just not a great cycling town. Hoping further south will be better. More mountain trails and roads.

    Glad you all had a good weekend.

    We booked our do-over vacation that will have us out of country over the election period, Steph. So we're just mentally preparing for all the questions from foreigners whichever way things go.

    Maybe I'll have cards printed up.

    Yes, I'm American. I presume my sneakers gave that away. No, I don't know what they were thinking when they elected *insert name* and I don't know what that's going to do to the price of chicken figurines in Morocco.

    Good afternoon
    My only thought about the election is this: with all the people who live in the US these are the best we’ve got to pick from?” I digress
    Cloudy and cool here. House is spotless.

    Met with financial guy on Friday. Looks like we can both retire November 2025. Now, I’m writing down every penny we spend to make sure the numbers are correct. So, I’ll continue to work and DH will too maybe not full time though. We will have to pay for my health insurance IF he doesn’t have full time employment.

    Good Sunday afternoon BBB friends.
    . I've been churched and schooled.
    . I assisted the SS class in installing our new Church Center app.
    . Kelly, before I retired I started a spreadsheet tracking all our expenses. It's a good way to determine your financial needs.
    . Lil T liked his new truck. Duh.
    . I'd like wintering in Mexico. Just sayin'.
