Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

    Mornin' BBB.

    Babe is not amused with leash only. Strict rest for a couple more days then I can start taking her for longer walks on the leash.
    Boat is back...running like a champ.
    SARDUS helicopter training for Larry?
    Love that they call it the "Fruit Loop".
    How did the elections go, Dennis?
    Home yet, Skip? No hints on Eleanor?
    Mary your Tom must be so frustrated with the repairs on that bike. Ugh. Worse than a boat!

    BBB OP ;-)

    Morning~

    Glad to hear AB is rebounding! I know patience is not her strongest quality :smiley:
    Back yesterday around 1p to a *kitten show* at work. Ugh. In office today to try to play fireman.
    TGIF (3-day federal holiday weekend). Hoping for some Tucker and Pool time this afternoon. He has a 5:30 vet check and weigh in today.

    ELLNOR (plates are on reserve) has been purchased. She should be shipped from San Antonio any day now.

    Good luck this weekend, Lisa!

    Sam - how's DMIL?

    I was never much of a painter (no patience). Hope you finish and get some pool and suds time!

    Weekend plans everyone?

    Good morning.

    I'm beginning to wonder if that's one of the cars from an estate our Foundation is a beneficiary of, Skip. It looks familiar.

    And, you could have paid me (probably in beer) to drive it from SA out to you. 🤣

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Rita gave up on geraniums in front of the house years ago, because the deer ate the flowers - not the foliage. They would even climb the steps up onto the front porch to get to them. Deer candy. The only geraniums we have, now, are in the backyard, where it's fenced.

    Heavy rain coming up from the south on the radar. Sigh. This is endless, it seems. Rita's tomatoes, eggplants and peppers are just sitting there, hardly growing, at all. It is supposed to dry out and warm up a little next week.

    Cool car, Skip. Some of those in the background of the photos are pretty interesting, too. Maybe you should start collecting. ;)

    It came from the Michael T. Collection (a car collector)

    Morning bbb

    We are getting all the rain now. Large red and green blob right over us. Need to find an indoor activity today. :(

    Fruit Loop was fun. One great cider house and one expensive on with a great view we’re our stops. I can see how it would be popular in a few more weeks when some things are in season.

    Mary one of the wineries was advertising a subscription service for a flower flight. You had to buy the vase then could pick up a flight of flowers once a week. I should have taken a picture of the flyer but seemed right up your alley if you could get wholesale prices.

    Good Morning,
    Trying to everything done around here before leaving Sunday for week in Florida. DMIL will be released Thursday, either DSIL will take her to our house or her house. Tomorrow install handrail on other side of stairs so DMIL can hold on to each side. Told them to take her downstairs where she will only have one step at door. We can carry her meals down too her till she is able to get up stairs. Physical therapist will work with her till she can maneuver steps.
    DSIL that passed, service this afternoon about 2 hours away
    Neat whip Skip, Lee it has T-tops
    Still very hot here, at least Florida is about 10 degrees cooler
    Way too HOT to be painting, DGK's were putting bags of ice in pool to cool water
