    G'Morning~

    Had to drive Black Beauty to the office today in Rush Hour traffic.....a company I like is doing a ceramic paint protectant and needs the car for a week to do so. One day in traffic reminds me why I enjoy working remotely so much!

    How's Ruby and Henry? Hopeful there is harmony!

    Where is the world is Dennis today?

    Mornin' BBB.

    Happy commuting Skip.

    8 degrees this morning. Tess will be wearing her sled dog booties for our walk. Then a dumb bell workout before going into office.

    Dennis should be in Tel Aviv. ( theme song "Sunny" running in my head from visit Tel Aviv commercial)

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good Morning BBB.
    I can't believe we still do the time change thing in most parts of the country.
    Happy travels Dennis.
    Lee - brrrrr.
    Kelly - Welcome to the family Ruby - we are all so excited for you! Enjoy the puppy smell ❤️
    Do good out there everyone.

    "Puppy Smell?" Is that code for "I left you a surprise in the corner?"

    Asking for a friend.....

    Morning bbb

    Trying to get in a wick workout before my long day and every machine at the hotel is full. Guess I should have slept in. Going to do stair laps instead.

    Good morning.

    I think we should just stay on DST and be done with it. I hate walking both to and from the train during Winter in darkness. Give me something.

    Good morning, everyone! I'm on chat, so this post will probably take me 2 hours to finish.

    The pic was beautiful, Lee! Although, we've seen WAY more snow that I prefer seeing around here. We happen to have yet another snow day today ... I think this is around the 12th for us. It can STOP now - it's March. We want spring!

    Kelly, Ruby is precious!!! And I love her name, too. I hope she brings you boatloads joy and fun and love.

    Dave, grandkids will do that. They are a fabulous distraction from hard stuff. Just a few more months and our next one will be here!

    I'm so glad you didn't see any damage from the tornadoes, Dennis and Sam! That's scary stuff!

    So, dh started a new job yesterday. I was waiting to hear what his official title would be, and now we have it. He is General Manager of all departments at a small manufacturing company, including engineering, production, new product design, and a few others that I can't remember. He LOVES it! The company is owned by a good friend of his, and he's been doing contract work with them for quite some time already. Yesterday he was introduced in his new role. I'm so proud of him!

    Congrats to Jim! Wonderful news, Lisa.

    I bet you guys are sick of snow. Snowy winters cycle for us...we tend to be on a 25-30 year cycle on winter severity here in NW CT. I remember a very mild winter my first year living in CT back in '88. Being fresh from Oklahoma, I was disappointed. I actually prefer snow to bare ground in the winter if winter must come.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Congratulations to Jim. It's great when we can work at something we enjoy.

    It's 21 degrees, but sunny (when it comes up) today. We were having a mild winter, until February rolled around. But my duck and goose meter tells me spring will be here soon. I have never seen so many flocks flying north at one time.

    Good Morning everyone!

    Another snow dusting for us as well and in single digits. You'd think folks would slow down driving. Bad fatal accident yesterday and 3 more crashes hosing up traffic this morning. Hope all are ok.

    I'm planning my garden containers, takes me to happier times: SPRING

    Nice of you to assist your neighbor, Sam!

    Congrats to Jim, wishing him a great new job experience!

    We have a baby coming in our family too Lisa, in May (my nephew and his dw) are expecting a girl in May, baby shower is this weekend. Smart party planner, asked everyone to bring a pack of diapers for a raffle event....

    Hope Dennis is well on his way!

    Have a great day, be happy, be safe!

    Congrats to your DH Lisa for sure. Yeah low 20s here too like Dave says. Off to ride to yoga class soon. My pole sugar snap peas are healthy but just sitting there at about 5" tall until it gets closer to 50deg.

    Oh my robin meter is off the charts. We have upwards of 50 (yes 50!) robins in our front yard eating tiny crab apples off our flowering crab apple tree. It is loaded with many 100s of cherry sized crab apples. Tons of robins in the tree and on the ground. Also they come to our chinese holly bush too.

    We looked it up to see what the word was for a group of robins and the British came up with calling a group of robins a "round of robins". such entertainment from our large kitchen corner window. Maybe they only migrate as far south as Oregon in the west these days??? Dunno.

    A couple of winter's ago, I remember seeing tons of robins early... haven't seen a one so far. They must be rounding on the west coast this year.

    Well we've had a round of Robins for several weeks now, looks like but it does not feel like spring has sprung. Heard geese flying over this morning, reckon headed up North.

    Congratulations to Jim!
    Ruby went to vet. All was good until she came home. Return call to vet. Some sort of allergic reaction. He back leg is all swollen up. Poor pup.
    Not much else to report.
