    Good morning BBB friends.
    . The 1st of 6 straight sea days crossing the Atlantic. Next port is Bermuda.
    . The UHC CEO shooting is sad but interesting. I foresee a movie.
    . A pic from yesterday in Madeira. You can see the Sky Princess in port along with the Queen Anne.

    GM and TGIF

    Glad this week is closing.
    Spectacular pic Dennis.
    Brrrrrr freezing cold here in the mid-Atlantic.
    WI today. Pups go either way. Don’t think I’ve gained but don’t anticipate a loss either.

    Cheers

    Mornin' BBB

    Great shot of the port in Madeira. I spent a little time this morning brushing up on the geology of those islands, because geologically, that area of the Atlantic is very interesting.
    Lazy afternoon yesterday.
    CEO shooting has precipitated a serious manhunt. There are indeed some undercurrents to the story. Insider trading?
    Love that you got to spend time with DGS yesterday, Mary.
    Electric scooter, hope he has all the protective gear. I envision some Evel Knievel type jumps in the driveway.
    Back to work today and tomorrow.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Nice photo, Dennis. That's a long week of reading and eating. Enjoy.

    I avoid news, so have little knowledge of the shooting. I'll stay happily under my rock.

    We have the grandkids for the weekend, while their parents are attending a funeral in Eastern Washington. The kids have multiple events they have to attend, so I will be playing taxi driver for a couple days. It's all good. I love time spend with them.

    Good morning

    Great scene Dennis!

    Awaiting carpet cleaners to arrive. I'll be in my office working. TGIF

    Heading out tonight with the 3 littles, aka my dgs, dear great neice and nephew, and their parents (the big kids lol), to our county Zoo, for the lights display. Should be fun. Warming to mid 30s. Then to possible upper 40s Sat. Which is decorating our outside day!

    Have a good day BBB

    Morning BBB

    What a lovely cityscape Dennis. Enjoy your sea days. Do you have the wifi package?

    I was up #1 at WI yesterday. Expected with the sugar fest that was Thanksgiving plus the dragonfruit farm tour. This week we have no big eating/drinking plans. Happy hour after work today but nothing else on the books I can't easily plan around.

    Our week in the US plans are coming together. I have found a route to Houston including hotels, made appointments for international drivers licenses, flu, covid and yellow fever vaccines, and narrowed down storage units for the car and booked a car detail. Still need to book lodging in Houston and an oil change and have our mail and packages sent from south Dakota and nebraska. We have 8 days but 2 of them will be the drive and there is new years during the week. Hope we aren't cutting it too close.
