    G'Morning~

    Survived the weekend and was able to get DW new car last night too before sneaking off to watch race. Her water pump and radiator took a dive before she left town on Friday. Didn't want to deal with that headache.

    DMIL bed being delivered today at my pals house. Then have to schlep it to storage. I'll be glad when this is over with.

    When does DS start new role as Parole Officer?

    Mary - is DS busy this week? (Draft week is typically all-hands on deck).

    Cheers,
    Skipper

    Mornin' BBB

    LOLed at Steph's comment about sitting down at the computer being a potential "time suck". So true. So many rabbit holes.
    "3" is due July 25th. DW and I will be in Germany waiting for the stork to make his delivery.
    Hoping your DS#1 loves his job, Kelly.
    Sent in confirmation to report for jury duty for a certain date and now can not find the copy of the summons or the date on my calendar. Just sent an email and will try calling today. All I remember is that is for a Thursday. Why do I get a summons almost yearly when DW has never been summoned?

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning.

    Lee, that’s interesting you get asked and dw doesn’t.

    Did Carrie get a new car?

    Ds1 starts today. Woot. FINALLY a job in his field. Praying so hard that he excels in it and it’s a lifetime position.

    Started putting up the shower door last night. I can see why they wanted $700 to do the install. Ha.

    Good Morning,
    Cloudy this morning but should warm to upper 60's fifties this morning.
    What model and make did Carrie get?
    Waiting for a birth, 3 will come when ready, does not matter what you or parents want, as you know some come early and some a couple weeks late.
    Congrats to Ds1 Kelly, and yes, many construction task are a pain in the posterior.

    Morning all.

    The hiking group is down to us and one other couple and she has to turn back before the last hill to make it go work. All the snowbirds have gone back to Canada.

    Then we will probably walk to Chapala to the big Monday market. It was fun last week.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • Breakfast with the ROMEOs this morning.
    • Looks like a wet week weather wise. Motorbike trip not looking good.
    • So Skip, you can't tell us Carrie got a new car and not share the details. Mary wouldn't tell us she got a new grandbaby with sharing weight, length, etc.
    • When you coming back to the States Steph? I wouldn't be in a hurry.
    • Germany in July should be fun.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Exciting new beginnings and anticipation of such, all around.

    My sister is stopping by for lunch, after visiting her daughter in Tacoma for the last couple of days. Looking forward to spending at least a couple hours with her.

    Me: "I ran out of gas"
