    Mornin' BBB.

    "...and you don't mess around with Jim (or Skip)"

    Am guessing jaws dropped at the dealership when you tossed the MB back in their laps.
    Land Rover is the new whip. Nice choice.

    Yep, Dark Side has got the east coast by the huevos. Wonder if Colonial Pipeline will pay up?

    BBB OP ;-)

    Getting dire here. Carrie waited 45 mins for gas last night.

    This morning at 0600 I hit TWO separate stations - both are 100% sold out. Gave up and came home.

    This is gonna be a bumpy ride!

    Yuk. Hope the shortages don't make it here. We filled up yesterday at Costco but we drive almost an hour each day to hike so fill up at least twice a week. Might try to stay closer to home for the next few days.

    I have a haircut and color scheduled for later today. Hooray.

    Nice Skip! Not so good in VA other news...

    Wonder what I could do on a trade up on that certified pre-owned 2015 platinum trim Escape the Ford dealer sold me in 2017? Its about to turn 50k. Thats I got lol. Maybe should... while I have verifiable income anyway...

    I'm heading into town this morning to find a commercial machine at a laundry mat for a sleeping bag wash. Fun. Theres a garden nursey next store to bid my time while there...thats a plus!

    Be well BBB

    Good morning from hot and sunny manasota key. 88 89degrees. I have a good tan. Got a new swim top delivered here. Ha.
    Nice whip.
    Lee, did the dog kill the duck?

    Gas shortage is crazy.
    I think we’re meeting Tom and Raine tomorrow for dinner.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    Like the Range Rover, Skip. The rest of us should have a pool on how long you go before trading it in.

    We have the highest gas prices in the 48 continental states, most times - but no shortages. Some of us are old enough to remember the gas lines in '73, when I was a college student.

    Off to have lab work done at the hospital. Routine.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • I have the solution to the gas crisis. Declare a COVID quarantine and keep everyone home until the pipeline is pumping again. Wait, I thought pipelines were bad?!?
    • I was in Frankfurt, Germany in 1973. To save gas they would close the autobahn on Sundays. People would be out there on bicycles and roller skates. It was fun.
    • I guess all the eCar fans are smiling.
    • It's a good time to be on the beach Kelly and dinner with Raine and Tom should be fun.
    • How's Mama and the pups?

    BBB Reunion! AWESOME! Have fun!!!! #LifewithLarry.

    Our region is in a State of Emergency. All stations in our County are either OUT of gas or have limited (regular not premium) quantities. This is going to be a S***show........

    Good evening, folks.

    Nice whip, Skip!

    I've been eyeing its rip-off cousin, the Bronco Sport. Taking my car to Aamco in a few days to find out of my transmission still has legs or if now is the time to swap to preserve trade value,because I really don't want to do a third transmission.

    Am very interested in the Bronco Sport.

    I thought the latest version of the Ford explorer was the land rover discovery rip off.

    Lee. You had a picture of Tess with a dead bird in front of her. Did she do it?

    Nope, she swam out and retrieved it out of a friend's pond. It was already dead of unknown causes. I was making a non PC joke about illegal aliens because it was a Canada goose.
