    Morning~

    Loving the pics of #Sassy! SOOOOOO wish we could all get together and watch our fireballs have some play time while we all sit and converse/laugh!

    Here's an obligatory photo from our maiden ride yesterday with T-Tops off:

    Two more days until the weekend. It feels like the clock is in reverse!

    Steph - thats a heck of a lot of driving! Be safe out there! Enjoy the next trek! Hope they have a pool to refresh in!

    Sam - how's DMIL?

    Cheers,
    Skip

    Mornin' BBB

    Such a handsome boy riding in the back seat of Eleanor. Funny look he is giving for the selfie.
    Dave, I remember the angst you were having when Sassy was a wild puppy pushing all the buttons. You probably don't remember me saying that the good ones are almost always a challenge when they are young.
    Lucy is finishing her heat cycle this week. She is being a really good girl.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Wowzer. Love the picture. Car looks great.

    Shed painting started yesterday. Garage door left to trim out.

    Painting this weekend. Not our house a paying job to help pay for the paint for our huge job. Cash payment. Ha

    Tonight is girls night.

    About 10 weeks until our 10 night vacation. I hope we don’t kill each other. That’ll be the longest we’ve ever been together. Ha.

    I’m dog sitting now.

    Nothing else to report.

    Good morning.

    It seems you could have put some ice cream on the counter so Sassy could have a proper apple crisp. 🤷‍♂️

    Nice whip, Skip!

    We got back in early April, Mary. Final punch list items were finished a few weeks ago and we got paid out by the HOA about the same time.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    I got dessert last night. Rita mixed up new topping for the apple crisp. We had broiled halibut with sauteed kale - followed by a bowl of apple crisp, still warm out of the oven.

    Sassy seemed alright, so I let her into the family room with us - and she threw up all over the carpet. That got her a night in the hardwood-floored kitchen, and me a night on the couch in the next room, to be close to her so she wouldn't cry. She seems good this morning.

    I do remember your advice, Lee. That along with similar observations from the breeder who sold us Sassy - and would have bought her back - convinced us to stick it out. Sure glad we did.

    Cloudy and 68, today. I rough-turned a holly piece, yesterday and will work on some cherry logs, today.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Enjoy your vacation, Mary. Sometimes you just have to pay the butcher.
    • So how is Sassy feeling this morning?
    • Nice ride Skip. I can't bring myself to say whip. I guess I am not hip enough.
    • Welcome back to normalcy Lisa.
    • We have a meeting with our developer this morning. Apparently, they bought the property adjacent to our 'hood and plan to expand.

    Morning bbb

    Nice Skip. Enjoy.

    Our car turned over 100000 yesterday. I think 40 when we bought it.

    Arrived at our housesit yesterday. Yes they have a lovely pool. And view. Will take then to the airport early tomorrow.

    Hey Dennis, if building next to you, how does that affect property value?

    Wow Steph. That’s a lot of miles.

    Enjoy the lake Mary.

    Hope sassy is better.

    Looking forward to seeing the cherry logs.

    Glad it’s all worked out for you Lou.

    Kelly, our 'hood was scheduled for about 875 homes. If this deal goes thru it will add another 100 to 120 homes which is manageable. The developer will put an addition on to our clubhouse and it will help spread out some of the HOA costs. I think it is a positive.

    That’s good Dennis. Another or bigger clubhouse will be nice!!
