    Morning~

    Good luck as you patiently wait on the Trike, Sam. Patience was never my strong suit...... I've been seeing some dealers in our area adding $10k to the new Wagoneer's. That is just State AG reporting worthy. I loathe greediness and shady businesses and not afraid to call them out on review sites.

    BUSY as *kitten* yesterday - after being out of pocket for nearly two full weeks. Hoping today calms a bit.

    Little spitting snow this morning outside to/fro' SBUX. Brrrrrr cold too!

    Cheers for a great BBB day!

    Good morning.

    I have meetings starting at 8 today, so of course I was up at butt thirty for no good reason.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • 32° here this morning but heading to 64°.
    • I think I'd rather be at Gulf Shores.
    • Starting the morning with my Emmaus Reunion group, followed by a HOA Finance Comm. meeting and then a call with my financial guy. Busy day for a retired guy.
    • Hopefully Carrie and Jim are feeling better.

    Mornin' BBB

    I just hope your neighbor gets the help he needs, Skip. Mental health carries such a stigma, no one wants to admit that they or one of theirs has a problem. For example, I remember me dad doggedly refused to see that me mum had Alzheimer's like symptoms, he said it was just age related dementia. I think he saw Alzheimer's as an undesirable label. He was OK with taking her to orthopedic/neurosurgeon for spine surgery and to a pulmonologist for her respiratory issues, but not a neurologist to make a diagnosis on her dementia. After she passed, I requested a brain biopsy to confirm my diagnosis of Alzheimer's and the biopsy was positive for advanced Alzheimer's. With a neurologist's premortem diagnosis, he could have gotten more help for her. So hopefully, your neighbor's wife will not be me dad.
    Mary, so sorry about the Kaka-show. I guess the new boss thinks you have sanitation training.
    I have a (stupid?) question, Sam. Could you put a side car on the Super Glide? Would that give you the stability you need?
    Nice view from the condo, Steph.
    Lou, hope you are having a happy Hanukkah.
    Dennis is a very busy guy.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning gang.

    Cold but sunny this morning. Will bundle up and walk the beach soon then a bike ride when it warms up. Getting our booster and flu vaccine this afternoon.

    My grandma in the hospital with a blood clot and COVID but doing well and expected to go home later today or tomorrow is oxygen levels stay good. She is 86 I think.

    Good Morning,
    Day starting out cold but should warm into mid 60's, and high going up Wed, Thur., and Fri
    Need to cut annuals where cold has gotten them.
    Skip, I was advised to wait for rainy cold day in January where they have not sold anything in a couple of days; also 2022 models will be delivered in January and dealers will receive incentive monies to get rid of 2021 models. Plus bike or trike is a toy; for me it is a want not a need.
    DS wants to buy my bike because DDIL has decided to get her motorcycle license; we will see.
    I'm with Dennis, would be nice to be at Gulf Shores

    Good morning BBB crew.

    I wish it were colder, here. We need mountain snow. Just a lot of warm(ish) rain.

    It is becoming clear that Sassy is really smart. She understands full sentences, I swear. You can see the gears turning as she evaluates what you say, weighs her alternatives and makes a decision. She has started making jokes with us, too. She will act like she is going to do something she isn't supposed to, then bark with glee when we react. Lots of fun.

    DGS's birthday is Thursday. We need to do some shopping, today, so he gets more from us than just the sword and shield I made.

    That's awesome, SGM! LOVE the #Sassy stories.

    Really hoping to convince Ms. Carrie that another dog for the house is a good decision! I miss the companionship!

    Good afternoon
    I’m sitting at the hospital. Just got my EKG now waiting on blood work.

    Ruby Sue is 3 today. She’s still annoying. Ha.

    I’m not very patient either but I’ve grown a tad more patient that a gnat over the years.

    Hope the tests are all A plus Kelly. Let's gtg in January, for sure ok?

    A dog would let you know likely prior to someone up at the door, Skip. At least my dog would.

    Shadow actually woke me to show me a car on fire across the way once. Miss Shadow my $ 35.00 purebred black lab so much. Smart best dog ever. Woukd lay by Tonys crib and watch him lol. DDILs Maddie is smart too the partay doddle. Her humans treat and talk to her like a human. She too understands full conversations, it's so funny. She tilts her head while listening and thinking lol. I have her for Sat night sleepover here.
