    Mornin' BBB

    Lack of good sleep and busy at work has translated into me being a bit absent here.

    Hannah has the cutest little chubby legs.

    Steph, the trip down the Amazon sounds cool. Australia and New Zealand sound even cooler. NZ is definitely a bucket list trip for me. The brown trout fishing there is legendary.

    So with M in CO, I take the girls with me to work. When the weather is decent, they just hang out in their crates in the bed of the truck with the back end open. This way, they aren't penned up for 8-10 hours. During my lunch break, I take them to this little park about 5 minutes away. There appears to be a guy in a silver Tacoma dealing there. I have been aware of him for some time. Cars pull in, he gets out the Tacoma and hops in the newly arrived vehicle, then back into the Tacoma, and the car drives off. Yesterday I saw one of my kooky clients make a deal. Unmistakable eighties dyed blond hairdo and beat up red Corolla. At first I thought she was there to walk her dog like me, but nope, she met up with the silver Tacoma, then she spotted me and boogied. I am surprised the cops haven't caught on, it is pretty dang obvious. Maybe the dealer knows the cops are eating donuts around that time.

    Mary, our DGS loves the zoo too. I am getting pretty jealous of M spending so much time with him. She is basically his nanny. She takes him to daycare and picks him up, giving DGD a little breathing room with her job. Renovations to the landscape at Colorado residence is under way, so M is supervising. The owner and site manager is a great communicator and responds to my emails promptly.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    A long drive with the top down and Tucker at your side, sounds like just the ticket, Skip.

    I thought about fishing today, but it's raining, and I had a bad night's sleep, so I'll stay home and make shavings out in the shop. My therapy for angst from the world around me.

    Good Morning,

    Been trying to get stuff done that I will not be able to for next six weeks. Annuals and perennials planted in front; believe I'll have to skip vegetable garden this year.

    Joanne's oxygen is holding up, did not use any extra oxygen yesterday though she does have a good bit of congestion, must be allergies. Pollen count yesterday over 6,000.

    Pablo is not allowed out without being on a leash or cable

    Medicare did not sign off on shoulder replacement till yesterday afternoon, good that I did not know.

    Morning gang

    I too didn't sleep great. Our house alarm went off at 9pm...hostess said she didn't see anything on the camera and it wouldn't likely be the first alarm triggered if anyone got over the fence but I'm guessing that that caused my unrest. In general this is a very safe place but....

    Rained a bunch early this morning and our hike was pretty muddy yesterday so I vote for a walk about town today. The most popular band is playing tonight very near us so we will probably go to that. There is a beer fest in the next town over too but that involves a bus ride.

    Good morning.

    I got back from DC late Thursday and crashed hard. Woke up at 4 yesterday morning for no good reason. Crashed again last night and up at 5 today for no food reason.

    I haven't watched a game in the tournament yet and we're down to two games each today and tomorrow. I need to prioritize loafing more.

    Good afternoon BBB Friends.

    • I stayed up way too late watching the Braves get beat in San Diego.
    • I need to plant annuals, and I don't have a good excuse. Begonias are in the plan.
    • Short motorbike trip yesterday to find out our favorite ice cream shop near Sam has been sold and is being renovated. We found a previously unvisited coffee shop closer to home.
    • Enjoy the convertibles, lathes, bands, ball games and grand kids.

    Hi BBB

    I've been closet and drawer shopping, rearranging. Down 2 to 3 sizes and needed to see what I have that fits. Made a big mess in the master. All cleaned up and clean sheets too.

    We are off to a $50 gift for this Hawaiian place 25 min south of home. Never been.

    Have a good evening BBB
