    Good morning.

    We're down to the last 2 days of political ads before we go back to adult diaper and pharmaceutical commercials again!

    The pain was from a corn on my left foot that was making me cater to it with the right leg. So when you do 20k steps a day, it's a miserable experience.

    This church was constructed in 1682 and visited by Pope Clement XI in 1723 to earn its Basilica status. I've come to referring to him as the pope that got around because half the churches in Rome are basilicas and they all seem to have his name.

    G'Morning~
    • Awesome pics, Lou! Hope you are having fun!
    • Everyone be safe and your head on a swivel the next couple days. Lots of chatter/threats abound!
    • Gonna be a long week.....c'mon, 3 day weekend!
    • Me thinks I lost my negotiation skills. Argued (briefly) with some schmuck in Tampa for the Grenadier I wanted. Had to block his number. Never met him, but I picture a leisure suit and pinky rings on this loudmouth!

    Cheers,
    Skipper

    Mornin' BBB

    I likes the Grenadier, but I can imagine the used car salesman from Tampa and that is something I abhor.
    Corns are very problematic and painful. Sorry you are dealing with that, Lou. LOVE the photos. Keep them coming.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Today would have been my mom's 101st birthday. Feeling a bit down as a result. Miss talking with her.

    Braving the heavy rain this morning, to take Rita to a hearing test.

    Morning gang

    Ineos Grenadier is the title sponsor of a cycling team. I didn't even know what kind of company they were until I googled.

    The florida dealership is just down the street from FIL's house.

    Busy day today. I have a volunteer meeting this morning to plan the big fundraising event that is upcoming, Spanish class then weightlifting day. Ron has a massage this afternoon.

    The weather is noticeable cooler here now. We had a beer at an open air brewery yesterday afternoon and I wore long sleeves. But that made our hike heavenly yesterday. We hiked for 3 hours and wasn't dying at the end.

    Lou love the pictures. Hope you are having an amazing time.

    Good morning

    Raining and 50's here. So happy we cleared the massive amount of leaves off the lawn this weekend.

    Dsil looks and feels better. Has been up walking the last couple days as ordered. I miss dh though. No idea when dsil will be released.

    Hope you're having a wonderful trip Lou! Beside the toe pain....

    So Skip, be a bit more clear on the warning, please.
