    Mornin' BBB.

    TGIF.

    Looks like a beautiful day on tap here in NW CT

    Took me wee boat to a pro marine mechanic for just a full tune up for the engine. I had been doing all the maintenance for last 6 yrs and thought maybe it was time to give it a little more love than just me playing mechanic.

    Got me a haircut. It was my quarterly trip to the barber.

    Played in the garden. Planted some sunflower seed.

    How did drone pictures turn out, Raine?

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning....TGIF

    Meeting my first contractor for house (grout/tile/marble sealant). Not happy to return and see half the trees planted are dead/dying. Put a foot in the $ss of contractor yesterday - we'll see what happens today.

    I saw Raine's awesome Youtube video! WOWZA!

    Lee - you make me laugh. I'm overdue. Any more shag, they're going to insist I wear a flea collar.

    Game One for Capitals tonight! We are on the road - so hoping for good outcome.

    Steve? How was vacation?

    Hope DS enjoyed the Elkhart speech/rally last night.

    Cheers for a great weekend!

    Good Morning,
    TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!! 46/27
    I need to wet a hook but more than likely will cater to DW since it's Mother's Day weekend.
    Skip, all shrubs should be covered by contractors warranty which can run up to 4 years in some states, though most claim only one year; law and courts say different.
    DMIL did not leave yesterday, now being told tonight about 9 or maybe Saturday. Heck I'll drive her there just to give DW a few days rest.
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Good morning
    Sam you both need a break
    Ds was on tv each time the cameras spanned to Trumps right. He said it was pretty neat!!
    Tomorrow is his big day. I lost Rock Paper Scissors Best 2 out of 3 and now I have to ride in the car with DH and his parents. Ugh. PRAY FOR GOOD SLEEPING TRAVELS.
    7 days until Englewood FL

    And I’m off.

    Good morning.

    Kelly - RPS is all about psychology. Most men will tend to go for rock the first time, so your best bet will be paper. Then they'll go scissors the next time because subconsciously they're trying to beat the prior winner. So go rock on the second. YW.

    Good Morning BBB.
    Droning was great. Perfect day.

    Mary - go for it!
    Lee - sometimes a pro mechanic is in order but I bet you have done a great job and they will not need to do much.
    Lou - love your analysis
    Bill - I agree with Sam.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Gee, Raine, that is a beautiful property. Hope the video finally generates the right contacts.

    Looking forward to a weekend in the 80s. That constitutes a heatwave up here on Puget Sound.

    I, too, crave the feel of a rod and reel in my hands, Sam. Don't think I could tie a knot, though, yet. Hard to catch much without a hook on the end of the line.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Okay, I just watched a 2 minute video and now I want to move to IL. I need to stay off the net.
    • Congrats to DS Kelly. You did good.
    • Thanks Lou, you gave away my strategy.
    • Hot in the south too Dave. Weatherflunky is predicting 95° on Sunday.
    • Going to an old work celebration dinner tonight. Apparently they feel I was a part of winning the new contract. It is at the Georgia Aquarium.

    Teeee geeeee eye-eye-eye-eye-effeffeff today! Had the equivalent of my annual physical (they don't want to give ya one with medicare so go in with some specific concerns/treatment things) yesterday. Look ok.
    •Gonna be maybe close to 90° in PDX on Sunday but only 62degrees yesterday. Maybe 70° today and 80°something tomorrow. At least my early planted sugar snap peas will give me my first batch today. YUM
    •Wow Raine great drone shot.

    Hi all.

    Spent the night in downtown Little Rock last night. After I picked up Ron he was dead tired (super windy ride hauling all his gear) and I knew if we pitched a tent he would be asleep and I would be bored. So used Hilton points.

    Today we got in a 20 miles ride along the river and the. Took the trolley around downtown. Now headed to the Ozarks.

    Got a lot done today. More to do before tomorrow. I’m packing a cooler of beer and no I’m not kidding. Ha ha.
