G'Morning, Friends!
- Up way too early to trek into DC office for a 9a meeting.
- First time in office since September - the drive is always horrible!!!!!
- Hosting former neighbors from old 'hood tonight (The Astronaut and his wife). Looking forward to enjoying a bottle of wine and relaxing.
- Lots of great things already underway with USCGA! Lots of meetings this week as the wheels begin to move forward. I have a full course load tee'd up for the spring.
- Steph - hope the flights went well! Sending positive vibes!

Good morning.
Who's the idiot that didn't kill his alarm for 545AM today? It's me. I'm the idiot.
I must've missed where you posted that the USCGA thing finally got out of neutral, Skip. Last I remembered you were about to burn your draft card.
Rough moment yesterday on the drive home from work. I had that realization that it was the first time in over a year commuting when I didn't call my parents to check in on them.0 -
Good morning BBB Friends.
- That is a rough moment, Lou.
- Skip, that astronaut isn't Howard Wolowitz by any chance?
- For the last 6 weeks I've been scanned, probed and monitored. Today I see the Dr. for the results. We are also going to talk about this crud I've had for 3 weeks.
- I'm scheduled tomorrow for a motorbike ride to a great Mennonite restaurant a couple of hours away. Looking doubtful for me.

Good morning BBB friends.
I wish I needed an alarm to wake me up. I just wake on my own, far too early, every day.
The wood turnings are all packed and ready to take to the fair, tomorrow.
Good luck on the doctor's visit Dennis.0 -

COOLEST neighbor ever. You'd NEVER suspect he was an astronaut AND launched 6 times!
<<LOU>> i'm sorry. What a gut-check moment, for sure.

Good morning
Im at Ford dealer for 69.99 oil change, tire rotation and they want to replace the swollen lug nuts. Claim its a Ford non recall issue problem esp in the cold weather states. 160.00 more. sigh. Funny, I lived whole life, never heard of this issue with me or anyone else cars.
Lou, definitely hard times becoming an adult orphan....hugs! Hold the memories close.
Nice inventory Dave
Hope doc's news is all good Dennis and the crud moves out.

Hugs Lou. Those unexpected habits are the worst. Mom has been gone 5 years and I still grab the phone occasionally to call her.0
