    Piano concert was quite something yesterday. Like something you'd hear in Carnegie Hall, but it was in an old wooden church in a rural New England village. I noticed most of the audience were very elderly. Piano was made in 1880s in France. Successfully avoided sweets all day.

    Foggy today. Tomorrow I see the eye doc to find out better what is going on with me eyes.

    Have a good day.

    Good morning!

    I had a very nice birthday. Thank you all for the well wishes.

    I am so finished with work right now. I don't even want to go in today.

    Bill, Sam, Mike, I pray that your health issues resolve quickly.

    Lee, that's a pretty awesome NSV!

    Yesterday, I weighed 31 pounds less than on my previous birthday.

    Have a great day!

    Mornin' gents.

    Your commute alone would quickly put me off the job, Steve. Add in the combative environment and its enough to make me stay home to avoid punching someone in the face.
    That is a huge scale victory, Steve.
    Sounds like a really nice concert, Mike.
    Supposed to get into thr 80's this week. Not ready for it after being in the 50's and 60's.

    Onward and downward ;-)

    Good morning gentlemen.

    I failed to send you birthday wishes, Steve. Hope you have a stress-free week, instead. Walk away from the toxic work situation.

    More below-normal temperatures, here. We get a taste of warm, then it's snatched away from us.

    Trying to negotiate a better price for a new (to us) pickup truck, this morning. Wish us luck. I am not good at the horse-trading stuff.

    Good Morning.
    Busy day, DW's hip not working; will do a quick stop in with ROMEO's then pickup DW take to hematologist, drop her off at house and I have an appointment for knee, then back to get DMIL to take to dermatologist to have small skin cancer removed.
    Pablo has already been out and around block.
    Do not be afraid to walk away Dave, if you are close on price they will come after you. Check value on Kelly Blue book and Edmunds also can call bank to look up value in Black book.
    Praying for you Steve.

    Good Morning

    That is a great Birthday NSV Steve!

    Buying vehicles has never been my favorite thing. I remember teaching my son how to walk away. When he bought his used car where we had reached our limit on price and left. We were back at the car which was parked next door to the dealer when we heard them shouting that the deal had magically been approved. Patrick did not enjoy the process. Yesterday’s schedule went a bit wonky. We ended up going Olive Oil tasting at a local producer of high end oils. I only lightly partook but I still paid the price in the evening. Lots of stuff to take care of around here.
