    G'Morning~

    Didn't get much rest after cath yesterday. Spent alot of time buying "toys" for Grenadier and then there was a rivalry game in Philly (stayed up way too late watching the pitiful outcome). Ugh.
    Not venturing far today. WI later this morning. Maybe dinner out with our neighbor tonight.
    Rain continues. Not complaining. We need it.
    Lou - how's DB doing? Hopefully improving!

    Cheers,
    Skipper

    Mornin' BBB

    So glad the cath procedure went well. Sure hope it does the trick. That and the Lipitor. I take the generic atorvastatin 20mg daily. My cholesterol was borderline and it brought it right down into the happy zone.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning.

    I'm on generic Lipitor as well for the same reason, Lee. Although I still think it could be managed if I didn't eat a Texas-style diet where Queso has its own spot on the food pyramid.

    Brother is doing okay and has a slate of doc appointments to work through. Still don't know what he's doing about work though.

    Thx. They prescribed 40mg Lipitor. Adding it to the BP meds I've been on since basic training some 30 years ago.

    I've been right at or over that line for a few years w/ cholesterol.

    Good morning BBB

    Glad Skip is well!

    Could your brother hire a driver Lou? Maybe a retired friend or neighbor ???

    Help, I need some easy lunch ideas for our 2 dgkids and families (6 adults 2 toddlers) coming over tomorrow to all go to our little towns Christmas Parade together. Grandparenting is fun! I may even see my husband. Dsil ask he stay for another week (already there since Nov 1) to help her with her crazy untrained little dogs. My thought is hire a dog walker to come over next week? Oh well, not my call.

    I see our Badgers are taking on Dave's undefeated Ducks tomorrow! 10 and 0 wow !

    Have a good day BBB!

    Good morning BBB friends.

    (((Skip)))

    Yes, the Badgers are next on the list for the Ducks. I'm glad it is a late game, since I will be at the annual holiday bazaar where I (hopefully) pass on many of the things I have turned over the last year. The bazaar runs until 4 PST and the game starts at 4:30.

    Lee, I see that the Yankees have hired away the voice of the Mariners for the last 17 years, Dave Sims. Now I have yet another reason to hate the bombers.

    Busy day ahead: trying to finish a walnut vase on my lathe; gathering the last of the leaves from the lawn; loading the car for tomorrow's bazaar.

    Glad procedure went well Skip.

    Fundraiser was fun last night. I "won" a dinner and tour at the dragon fruit farm at the silent auction.

    Volunteer shift at the thrift store this morning and likely happy hour after.

    Baked potato bars are an easy lunch. Throw foil wrapped potatoes in the oven or crackpot. Have a pot of chili and a few toppings like cheese, onion and guacamole. Or chicken noodle soup with saltines and a veggie platter.
