Morning~
<< YAWNS!
Did Twitter report a stolen vehicle in Indiana or is lack of sleep clouding my judgment?
Sam couldn't have picked a better time to get out of region! Dennis - what is forecast for you over the next few days?
New carpet installed yesterday! Woot! Basement and office look great!
<< YAWNS again!
Cheers~

Yawning like crazy here
Ds2 got his 4x4 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel stolen while he was in class.
3rd diesel stolen from campus yesterday. We don’t even have it titled yet. Gee whiz. He got it 3 weeks ago.
Busy day here. I might be headed downtown Indy to get ds2 later today.
I’ll cbl.0 -
Mornin' BBB.
Wow. What did DS#2 need a 2500 diesel for? Was he hauling long distances? Sorry to hear it got stolen. Bummer.
Lets see if we can keep it clean here today and avoid a spoofing. Okay Skip?
Yes, Sam evacuated early. Dennis, sounds like you are going to get a LOT of rain.
Soggy day here. Birds aren't going to want to fly today.
All the news is talking about is the cult of Apple event. YAWN.
BBB OP ;-)

CRAP - sorry to hear about that! Campuses are prime picking grounds for nefarious (can we use that word on MFP) activity; larceny; etc....
For Sale: Apple iWatch 3-series..... The snappy 4-series will do ECG's! We truly are in the age of the Jetson's!0 -
Good Morning BBB.
Monthly training yesterday was more hazmat than any pre-senior Jewish gal should ever have to take!
East coast peeps evacuating and battening down the hatches.
I sold my 27” iMac last week and temporarily working off only my 10.5 iPad Pro until they release the new MacBookAir which should be by the end of the month.
Kelly - I bet that truck was kitten even though he had not tricked it out yet.
Bill - sounds like progress in the reconstruction.
Do good out there everyone.

Good morning BBB friends.
So much of the humor on BBB flies right over my old head.
What's this Apple event, of which you speak? Not in the news here, at all. Of course, this is Microsoft country.
Sorry about the truck. That really hurts.

SGM - APPLE every year in September, launches their new product lineup (new iPhones, tablets, gadgets). Yesterday was the much anticipated launch of the upgraded iWatch and iPhone.....

Good Morning BBB Friends.
- Up early to make breakfast for the Methodist Men's group. Our guest speaker was a retired UGA football player and then coach.
- Sorry to hear about DS2s truck being stolen Kelly. Was he planning a career in stump pulling?
- WE should be well west of any serious damage from the hurricane. We might get some moderately high winds and a few inches of rain. We have a lot of traffic from evacuees headed in this direction. The Atlanta Motor Speedway has become a huge campground.
- A new MacBook Air sounds like fun Raine.
- Dave, our new music director at church is a twenty something and most of our choir gets a social security check. Yeh, it's fun.

I wait to get new stuff once the price goes down.
Ds wants a king ranch ford. He keeps trading up.
Just realized his prescription sunglasses were in there. Errrr

Do they have ANY leads or is it likely in a cargo container headed across the border???0

Sorry about DS2's Ram, Kelly, that sux, and for the loss of his glasses. Maybe they'll recover both? Although, maybe the insurance payout will help with his want of the King Ford? Henry comes home in just a few days! You got your house puppy proofed yet?
My niece in NC landed a generator and a bunch of gas, so she's staying put in Raleigh area now.
Dennis, what did you serve for breakfast?
DS1 took some time off at OSU to head down to Texas, see the game on Sat and to hang with his college buddy, the now Chief of Staff - Football at The University of Texas at Austin. I asked if he had good seats, he laughed and said no, no seats, standing on the sideline....My ds1 really gets around, so proud of him and his accomplishments, his opportunities, that he has a fun career-one that he loves, etc. (most of time anyway, like anything else).
I caved to pressure and got talked into treasurer of the HOA last night. How did I let that happen? uggghhh. 3 out of 6 board members resigned, they are all moving/downsizing, getting close to retirement age and have been on the HOA board for years. So I get it. Hope I can navigate through the transition and I said if I don't want to do it anymore, the HOA can hire an accounting firm to pay the bills and keep the funds accounted for etc. Now to get out there and get some volunteers to join this board! Maybe I should bake as a goodwill offering LOL?
Looking forward to the weekend! No glamping for us - we are staying home, but DS2 and co. are going to glamper/lake, unsupervised this time, LOL.
Have a great day, we are almost to Friday! Not that it matters for some of you

Police said the truck is probably in parts.
Insurance said that they will be slow to pay because the vehicle might be found in a week or so.
Homeowners insurance is to take car of what was in the truck. $1000 deductible, so we shall see
Way to go Mary, something else to add to your to do list.
3 days away.
Sam left the area but Dennis is staying??0 -
OK, I relented three years ago and bought an I-Phone 6. It works fine. So they announce upgrades. Yawn.0
-
I have an iPhone 5. Ha works for me.0

We are safe. No one is leaving this area. In fact, evacuees are coming here. We may or may not get some rain. Sam is on a cruise planned long ago.0

i5? I thought they stopped updates on those like a year ago?

Skip, are you phone shaming?0

He IS phone shaming.
Slowing old phones down with updates got Apple in trouble. So now they are supporting older phones better. Seems they were forcing people to upgrade. #notquiteright
