    2.22.22

    ((LISA)) - sending much hug/thought/prayers to you! No matter what you are going through - you are GOING THROUGH.

    Short week - but long week ahead.

    Tucker is sleeping a little later and later and transitions from Crate to our Bed around 4a (and he's a bed hog). I have to turn off security/alarm and cameras as he hears me when I leave and return from SBUX. Too funny.

    60's expected - though later in the week is snow showers. C'mon spring! I need the pool open!

    Love the photos, SGM!

    Lou - hope that popcorn is gone and you are full steam ahead on this restoration soon!

    Cheers for a great day!

    Mornin' BBB

    Happy belated Anniversary Lou and Cecilia.
    Bad decisions seems to be pathological in some people.
    That photo of Elsie and Sassy is priceless, Dave.
    Elections this week, Skip?

    BBB OP ;-)

    Mary - Blonde (Veranda) is the name of the bean/roast from SBUX. Its the "lightest" blend of coffee they offer. I'm a "light" buy. Miller Lite; Blonde/Veranda Roast.

    Elections open March 1 and go through the annual meeting on March 23, 2022.

    Happy Anniversary Lou/Celia!

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Pikes Place, a little FF half& half, hold the sweet stuff.
    • Busy, busy day ahead of me. Looks like my old work schedule.
    • I got you in my prayers Lisa. It's going to be fine, but you know that.
    • Strange election Skip. You have to be on your good behavior for a whole month?!?
    • We are headed to 78° this afternoon.

    Hugs Lisa. Even if it’s nothing major it is something. Good to see you here.

    No major plans today. Will likely load up the bikes and go ride the Venice trail. Need to take a snack so we can get past the 35 mile hump…I’ve been out of gas.

    Started to plan our route to Nebraska. We plan to take 3 days and mostly stay off the interstates. I’ll have a few options if we need to skirt weather.

    Good morning BBB crew.

    We are all in your corner Lisa.

    Counter to what you might think, lighter roasts have more caffeine. Skip's selection gives him a stronger boost than a dark roast would.

    Isn't "fat-free half and half" an oxymoron?

    Out of the blue, last night, I got a request to buy a yarn bowl. She remembered a forwarded post about our yard sale last summer. We'll set up a meet when she is in town later this week. Those things are a pain to make. I have one left and I'm not making another any time soon. Take it or leave it.

    Good morning.

    ((Lisa))

    When forced to drink Starbucks, I take Pike Place black.

    Popcorn is down and all over the floor. The guy doing the work isn't even wearing a mask. 👀

    Good Morning,
    Lisa, will keep you in prayer
    Lou, you have real patience; I would have told them off by now and done repairs myself
    Not sorry, have never allowed pet to sleep in my bed or on furniture
    Got a text and e-mail yesterday someone had tried to charge something against our Mastercard in Arkansas, back in December someone had hacked account up in Indiana, added recurring items like Hulu and Amazon Prime; we have not had any issues with other cards. But then we seldom use other accounts because they do not give me up to 10% back in rewards and interest free periods for up to 15 months. I would drop Mastercard but their rewards generally add up to enough to fully pay for vacation each year. I never carry cash and we charge everything and all is paid each month unless there is no interest on items.
    Still enjoying DMIL being gone
    70's today and tomorrow then 80 Thursday back to 76 Friday then dropping back down to highs in low 60's.

    And the rollout began with a SNAFU (Russian interference perhaps)? Ugh! What do (or don't) you see in this election platform:

    rl7o2hzsafva.png

    YEP - apparently, the THIRD PARTY VENDOR - "The Election Inspectors" forgot to include yours truly.

    Its been a barrage of emails with the Board and Staff all morning - and I've formally contested the election - but they felt we needed to waste HOA money and get a "legal opinion" first - instead of just nulling the link; reissuing new credentials and a mea culpa.

    You can't make this *kitten* up!

    Definitely Russian interference
    Who doesn't like popcorn?
    Sam, same happened to me when in Germany. I wanted to set a trap, but DW said to let CC company deal with it.

    Oh no Skip. Hope there is a satisfactory resolution soon.
