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.

    Good morning.

    My calendar is so full today that it doesn't fit on the home screen of my phone - it doesn't even get to lunchtime! Today is going to be a rough one. I'll be up early tomorrow as well for an overnight trip to DC.

    On the plus side, I'm meeting a friend at Jack Rose which has 2,000+ bourbons (!) for dinner and drinks Thursday night - if I can stay awake. If this trip goes well, then I'll be running a circuit to DC on a cadence. In all candor, kinda hoping it just goes okay.

    G'Morning~

    Sounds like a great place, Lou! My new go-to is W.L. Weller (I think Yellowstone drama has made them more famous than ever). Col Sherman T. Potter once quipped, and I would agree/steal his line when describing Weller....."....there's not enough O's in smooth"

    Painters here today doing touch ups.

    60's forecasted.

    Reckon Dennis and Kris are enjoying some great weather and amazing experiences on the high seas!

    Cheers,
    Skipper

    Morning BBB

    Hope your day goes smooothly Lou.

    No plans here. We walked almost all the way to the northern tip of the island yesterday. It turned out to be further than I thought but it was breezy and partly cloudy so a great day for it. I don’t have anything prepped for lunch so todays outing will be shorter so I have time to cook. We are having black bean chili and the beans are soaked but still will take over an hour to be ready.

    We only have one week left here so our pantry is getting pretty bare.

    My family is getting pounded with snow today. School for all is canceled even my sisters college campus.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Well, my day is really shaping up like carp. My back is killing me, and Sassy has a smelly discharge from one ear, so I need to call the vet. What will be the third thing?

    Good morning BBB

    Enjoy the port Dennis!

    Take time for a lunch break Lou. Safe travels to DC too.

    Steph, that snow storm seems to be heading our way this evening overnight. We will see what we end up with.

    Dave, aren't stinky ears common for Golden Retrievers? Doc Lee?
    Hope Sassy gets some relief.

    Since Jan. 2 dh is down 12lbs. Me, 5lb on a good empty day WI. Wth. Men. :smiley:

    I may try the 2 ingredient pizza crust tonight with self raise flour and 0 Greek yogurt. Anyone else use this Recipe?

    Be well BBB

    Actually, Rita spent some time carefully cleaning Sassy's ear and it looks much better, today. I am going to keep an eye on it and see if the odor was just from not being cleaned for quite a while - bad owners. She doesn't seem bothered by the ear, at all.

    My back has been bothering me since PT yesterday. Maybe I doo exercises too enthusiastically. If you tell me to do something, I am going to do it as hard as I can. I always end these sessions pretty tired, as you would want to be after a workout. This time, the back seized up after a couple hours.

    Congrats on WI's, Mary!

    #Sassy!

    Easy does it, SGM!

    95 is a great milestone!

    Lots of reasons for discharging ears in goldens. Vinegar and water, 50/50 makes a good ear flush.
