    Restless night - so decided to stop fighting it and just get to work.

    Hope all are ready for the weekend. What's everyone up to?

    Good Morning BBB.
    Meeting the builder we like at a half finished house to see what he thinks and to see what the timing and cost would be if he takes over finishing it.
    Bill - sorry about the rough night.
    Lee - No matter what amount of work I have I promised Jack beach time once a week. It has been a wonderful commitment.
    Lisa - you continue to inspire.
    Sam - how are you feeling? did you nip it int he bud.
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning.

    My face is red, my eyes and nose are a runny mess and my fingers are numb from walking to the train. The wind combined with the cold this morning feels worse than that artic crappé we had last week.

    Mornin' BBB.

    How is that naughty Lily this morning, Lisa?

    Raine, I commend you on your diligence. I would be at the beach or on a boat with pups every day, work be damned.

    Exciting about visiting the home construction site. Previous builder cut and run?

    Back bothering you, Skip?

    Roasted a turkey breast on gas grill last night. DW likes for me to use the outdoor kitchen.

    Raining here.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Sorry to hear about your restless night Skip. Sleep is not overrated.
    • Took a look at your weather Lou. I understand your pain.
    • We could start a new reality TV show. "House Hunting with Tom and Raine".
    • I have a quiet day ahead. Helping a neighbor with her laptop, Israel trip meeting, and I need to find a notary.
    • Hoping Kelly is tanned, warm and happy.

    Good Morning

    Lou's right this 40mph wind at 5F is cold!

    MKE lost an another police officer and decorated Marine this week, that's 3 down in 8 months. The city needs an intervention, for sure. Thoughts and prayers for his young family.

    Had some spinach to use up so I have a scrambled egg spinach veggie bowl this morning with hot coffee, its hitting the spot.

    I got Maddie girl dog staying over for the weekend, the kids have a basketball tourney for dgf'sdd in Minneapolis this weekend. Sat morning HOA board gtg for coffee at my house. Other than that, no weekend plans. Maybe gtg my honey to go for groceries with me tonite and check that off the list for the next week.

    Jack is one lucky dog!

    T G I F be safe, be happy, be well BBB

    Morning BBB

    No big plans here this weekend. We have dungeons and dragons Meetup on Sunday. Maybe dinner out with friends but haven't heard back from them with a confirmation.

    Van will be white so as to better stealth camp. It's a lot harder to pull up in a neighborhood and park for the night if you are memorable. Though a crazy paint job would be super fun.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Well, brace yourselves. We have a winter storm blowing into the Pacific Northwest this afternoon and over the weekend. That means it is heading your way, next. I haven't had to shovelk snow for two years. Guess I'll get my exercise tomorrow. We usually team up on this stuff, but with Rita still under the weather (a bit of a relapse, yesterday) I'll need to keep her indoors.

    House hunting with Raine is a lot more fun than the house selling drama was. I want to take Jack for a beach walk.

    Same as the last officer who gave his life, Vice squad serving felony warrant for illegal guns and drugs and was open fired upon going into a house.... hit and killed. So sad.

    Thanks to our very own critter fixer, our pups are doing just fine today. They were none too happy with us for squirting peroxide down their throats last night and then making them stand outdoors until they puked, but it seems to have gotten all the contraband chocolate out of them. We got home from Bible study to find 4 torn up boxes of Valentine's candy (small boxes, but still!) all over our bedroom floor, and promptly called Lee. Thank you, Dr. Lee! We love you!!!

    Here they are looking remorseful over the whole caper.

    And, to make you smile, this I noticed this on my neighbor's SUV today. They are Catholic. I wonder if they get get-out-of-pergatory points for this? Or if other drivers are especially respectful? And yes, you don't have to adjust your screen. It is a pope window decal.

    They don't look guilty - rather innocent.

    WTG - Doc! Appreciate all you do for the BBB extended family!

    Glad to see your pups are well Lisa. Doc Lee has provided counseling for Ms Emma too and I am grateful. BTW, Emma is doing well Doc.
