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

    Yes, this veterinarian tries to help out disadvantaged clients (physical/finacial/mental) or anxious/debilitated patients when he can. Yesterday it was a multi dog home with a wacky widow of a recently deceased buddy. Today more of the same. Too many friends and clients are starting to pass away.
    Our wee black panther LOVES no mow May. The tall grass hides her when she is stalking her prey. We are seeing wildflowers that we didn't even know we had because regular mowing prevented their flowering.
    Great to hear Pablo's primary dog walker is getting more mobile.
    Hopefully the dealership will make you a fair deal on that BAT, Dave. My DS#1 would love a Tacoma when he gets back stateside in the fall, but he is getting a really good deal on 4x4/offroad, 4 door 2024 Ford Maverick through a military vehicle market. Easily $20K less than a new Tacoma.
    DW bought a new couch for the sitting room. Old one was 22 yrs old and not good enough quality to refurbish. She insists that she can help me get it out of the house before new one arrives. :#

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    As I said, you’re a good man, Doc Lee.

    Took the grandkids to Armed Forces Day yesterday. They had a great time.

    Church this morning, then we’ll see what the day brings.

    G'Morning~
    • Seeing lots of over populated rescues in our area; not sure why the surge. Wish we could take on another pup - but Tucker is more than a handful and monthly investment too.
    • Concert (Leanne Morgan) was funny last night. Hated the drive to B'More, but home by 11p.
    • HH with a friend to watch Nascar All-Star race today (formerly known as IROC).
    • Not looking forward to catching up at work tomorrow. Gonna be a busy week!

    Good morning.

    If it's the same engine in the Maverick as the Bronco Sport, he may decide to pass, Lee. If they haven't killed off internal combustion by then, my next car will likely be a Ranger.

    Armed Forces Day sounds good, Dave. You going to have them pull weeds today?

    Just the size of that beer can makes me want to pee, Skip. Shelters here are packed to the gills. Lots of the larger pit mix dogs and Austin is no kill.

    Hot yesterday and hot again today. Hotter tomorrow. I'm sensing a pattern.

    Morning gang

    Our landlords reached out yesterday wanting to know if we are wanting to extend past September. Yikes I didn't want to decide this yet. We really like it here but there are other places too.

    Our answer was we plan to leave as scheduled in mid September but would be interested for 6 more months starting November 1. That way we can do some traveling in fall but be back in Mexico for winter. I'm sure they are just trying to plan their vacations.

    My grandma had her 90th birthday party yesterday in South Dakota. Sad I missed it but just not 8n the cards. My immediate family all went and rented a big house. I think most everyone else in family was there too.

    Good Sunday morning BBB Friends.
    • Like my friend Sam, I've been churched and schooled. I ran the livestream cameras at the traditional service.
    • My first thought was, dang, that is a roomy Corvette.
    • The Braves were playing on a tv station I get last night but were rained out. :'(
    • What should I do with the rest of my day?
