    Good Morning BBB.
    This time change is BS - someone should enact a federal law to end this nonsense.
    Loving that you have the jump on starting us out Dennis.
    I hope Rita starts to feel better soon.
    Finally got on the scale in the gym at the RV clubhouse - down 7lbs. I guess Florida living agrees with us.
    We had some great Angus ribeye steaks yesterday from Aldi - who would have thought??? We got a tip from a friend and I picked up a couple - we grilled them last night and they were marvelous - we would have sworn they were prime from a butcher shop.
    Kelly - remind me of the date you are here in May and I'll put it in my calendar. Sam looking forward to hanging out.
    Bill - no cavities - amazing!
    Do good out there everyone.

    Good morning
    Raine we will be there may 10-18th.
    Good for you and the weight loss. I’ve been tracking every morsel. Down 8.3. I need 20 to go. I live Aldi!!
    Doggone Mary that poor dog!!!
    Dennis church In Bethlehem has to be awesome.
    Hoping Rita gets better!!
    Steph what are your travel plans this week?
    I’m up and getting puppies settled before I head to the grocery.
    Here’s a fun fact. Indiana never participated in the time change until
    Mitch Daniels became our governor. I’m guessing we’ve been moving the clocks for 10 years. I’ll google that.
    Later taters

    Mornin' BBB.

    DMIL is bad...DW is with her. Family is gathering. I'm holding down the fort. Coffee tastes better when DW makes it.

    Seen that before Mary. Probably spiral fracture of the tibia. Pins, plate, or external fixator?
    Evidently I should charge more for my orthopedic repairs.

    Praying for Rita.

    Very cool having a service in THE original Bethlehem. Next town over is Bethlehem CT. Not the same.

    The dreaded GIARDIA. Careful you don't catch it, Kel. No fun.

    Am learning to like my new Kyocera Dura Force Pro phone. Camera isn't as good as old phone but can't have everything, I guess. I would have stayed with the Essential phone as the camera was great, battery life was good, and it was durable, but not waterproof. The S8 active was too pricey and didn't get as good reviews.

    Snowing and soon turning to wintry mix. Not uber cold though. Trying to cheer myself up by reading and watching video about fly fishing for striped bass.

    Congrats on being big losers, Raine and Kelly!

    Going to do the spaghetti sauce and cabbage again today. Going to do everything in crock pot this time. Will start with roasting garlic and onions with olive oil and salt/pepper in crock, then add tomato sauce and herbs, allow to simmer for a couple of hours then add cabbage last 30 minutes. Its an experiment.

    Babe is still with Geoff. Just took first deposit for a pup on upcoming litter.

    Tess is waiting for her walk. I am late and I hear her woofing at me from the barn.

    DLS is probably not necessary for Florida. I appreciate it because I like light in the am in the winter.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning~

    Late night Friday meant I still had some catching up to do today. I don't really have an opinion about DST.

    Sorry to hear pups leg broke, Mary! OUCH!

    Dennis - WAY AWESOME!

    T&Ps for Rita.

    We don't have an Aldi close by in our new hood. We use Wegmans and Harris Teeter.

    Hitting brewery later today.... Wish I could take Black Beauty - but she's still in shop for ceramic pro. Hope to get it back tomorrow.

    Love is in the air......that song is in my head now, Doc!

    Congrats on loss, Raine!

    Good morning BBB crew.

    OK, I never heard of Aldis - but I am a West Coast guy, where we have Best Foods Mayonaise and the short, fat stick of butter. Mt go-to for a good deal on really nive meat is still Costco. There are some local butcher shops that sell awesome, grass-fed, humanely raised beef. But they are really pricey.

    DW had another bad night. I could tell when she slept, because the coughing stopped. I was awake next to her from 1:30 to 3. This isn't bronchitis, as she has no congestion in her lungs, at all, jutst a "tickle"in her throat that makes her cough, along with a low-grade fever. It seems liek a bad cold, right after whatever stomach ailment she had, and following just two weeks after the last crud. She has the ultrasound appointment early tomorrow morning and a doctor's appointment Wednesday.

    Here in the northern latitudes, DST is nice because we hget those evenings where it stays light until 10. When I was a kid, in Oregon, DST compliance was by county. In Salem, we stayed standard. POrtland went to DST. We loved it, because we could watch TV shows that came on after our bedtime the rest of the year.

    David - I hope Rita beats this darn thing soon.
    We also enjoy Costco meats - trouble is that where we are located we are in the middle of two stores - each 40 minutes away.
    Kelly - congrats on the loss - that tracking thing really works!
    Aldi used to be crud but over the last couple years they have really improved. And they are close by too!
    Mary - Handsome pup - so sorry about the leg.

    Morning gang

    We will be in Florida in May too. Not sure if the dates yet as I am waiting on FIL to confirm when he need the apartment in Omaha. I think April 27-may 8 or something.

    This week traveling to Missouri and Kansas again. Helping with 5 stores and phone a friend for 5 more in Wisconsin Oklahoma and Iowa that are just too far away to get too. Took the car in for an oil change and have a bulging tire sinneed approval from the company leasing agent before they will do the work. Looks like we won’t get in the road until at least mid morning instead of 7:30 as was planned. Should have taken it in on Friday instead of Saturday.

    Good Afternoon,
    Lee, sorry to hear about DMIL; will keep her and family in prayer,
    Mary, beautiful pup, but $8,000 would take a lot of consideration
    Hoping Rita is better soon,
    Dennis sounds awesome,
    Steph, glad found bulge before major blow-out
    We like Aldi but have learned to watch prices, since they have gotten popular around here they have started raising prices, our closest is 35 miles; don't shop Costco because nearest is over hour away.
    Highs in 70's every day this coming week, not saying spring is here because we have heavy frost up till Easter, though Easter is late this year.
    DMIL is pushing me to my limits, once I feel better we will have a talk about her spending more time in her area or needing to find another place to stay,
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Lee, am I reading that you put a deposit on a pup?
    Prayers for your mil
    Praying Rita kicks whatever she’s got!!!
    I do agree with same on $8000. Wow. I would’ve spent it on Sally if I knew she’d live several more years. I loved that dog.
    Henry had giardia when we had him tested too. That was right after we got him. We’re treating both dogs for it since it’s so contagious.
