    Mornin' BBB.

    Got stung by a ground hornet yesterday at dog training. Thought the thing buzzing around my head was just a horsefly while I was watching a dog work in the field. Next thing I knew it stung me on the back of my shoulder then flew away. Just a solitary hornet. Odd and a wee bit painful.

    BLT dinner was good time catching up with friend. Unfortunately got home way past my bedtime.

    Did Mary get to go to the zoo?

    Boot off and driving yet Skip?

    I've heard Salt Lake is beautiful.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Alas, my Siren Lover and I were reunited. It was a touching moment. The decadence of that sweet nectar once again presses against me lips. There is no truer love than me and she.

    To answer ye, Doc. I SHOULD get the hard cast and transition to brace today for elbow. Boot comes off Monday. I shouldn't have - but felt I could jaunt the few miles up the road to unite with my maiden this a/m.

    Stayed up too late here too. Redskins thrashed by Bengals. Gonna be another long season for Skins fans.

    Our LL team from our community plays at 10a v. Rhode Island. May take a break to watch! These kids have been on fire all season!

    Sorry about the sting! OUCH!

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • We are supposed to head to Shelby today but DW has one of those de-mobilizing headaches. We'll see how things progress.
    • DS1 is lucky to have your help Mary. Nice you can spend some time together. I guess the next trip has you flying in to DFW.
    • Glad you got you java Skip. Things are looking up. Well, other than the Skins that is.
    • Lou, you can always sleep tonight. Oh wait, it's Friday night and I'm sure Cecilia has plans.
    • Have a great weekend BBB.

    Good morning
    Lou, I was up st 4:19. Never really got back to sleep. I had to check on ds

    Ds1 did great. He was in pain last night but at 4:19 he said he was ok and didn’t need anything but ice.

    I bet with a bum foot and elbow people assume you were in a car wreck.

    Lee, that sounds painful!! Glad it wasn’t a nest of them!!

    Mary, enjoy enjoy!!

    Dennis, hope her headache subsides.

    Dinner tonight with friends we haven’t gone out with in a while.

    Steph. How is the travel?

    Raine, any new pictures? Any new neighbor problems? Hope not

    I’ll cbl.

    I tell everyone that my DMIL and I went a round and I lost.

    Sounds funnier than I tore tendons tossing kids in the pool......

    Safe travels, Mary and hope you get out of town Dennis!

    Kelly that was what I thought was odd that it was solitary. Usually there is a swarm. Ha, the little boy in me wanted to stop and check it out and apply something to it immediately but we had dogs to train and the pain eventually subsided when I ignored it. Glad I am not allergic.

    LOL, I forgot that was how you boo-booed your foot.

    Glad DS#1 is doing well post tooth pulling. Does he have bruised chipmunk cheeks?

    Dennis prayers for your DW.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Glad you are getting around, at least a little, Skip.

    Had a great hike up to an old lookout tower, east of Mt. Rainier, yesterday. A steep, sweaty, 3,443 foot climb, but with spectacular views as the reward.

    Back to the mundane, today. Have to fight with the store over a possible overcharge for the new refrigerator.

    Ouch Lee! hornets and wasps can pack a big wallop. Somehow in less than a minute a wasp flew inside of one of my bike gloves which stung me when I put it on and tightened up the wrist closure. More pain than bees for sure.
    Great hike and picts Dave.
    Hang in there Skip!!
    Off for early wetland walk.

    Hi all.

    We moved in to Idaho today. Spent the afternoon tubing down a small river. Then soaked in the hot springs pool.

    Not sure what this weekend will be. We might head into Oregon.
