Morning BBB Glad the terrible weather missed you Dave. I thought today was the trip and hoped you wouldn't have a terrible drive. Yesterday we decided to drive to Kino Bay. It was about 2 hours away. It's another sea side town that may be an option to stay some year. It seem more "weekend getaway" and was extremely quiet…

Morning gang Headaches was one of Ron's major symptom other than dizziness last year. The headaches lasted months. Never found a cause. Hope your docs are more persistent. Today is Spanish class ( We are going 4 days a week now..two different teachers) then not sure. Probably a small hike. It's perfect hiking weather here…

Morning gang A lot of memories in that house Dave. Skip I hope they figure out your headaches. I should look into the carrot recall. I bought a big bag at Sam's yesterday. Packaging was all in English. We are heading out for a bike ride soon. Then Spanish class this afternoon. Then I need to do a clothing inventory. I used…

Our two best options for US to Australia is celebrity or Holland America.

Morning gang It was cool and rainy yesterday (60 or so all day) first rain here since we arrived in September. We didn't leave the house. Spent the morning trip planning and the afternoon playing a video game and doing food prep for the week. We didn't really nail down any plans yet but have a tentative timeline for 2025.…

Morning BBB Glad the bazaar was a success. Mary your grands are adorable. So fun that they are similar age. We had a nice hike yesterday then chilled at home. We are many many hours into a new video game. We "should" be nearing the end. I like this one ok but it's got a little more shoot em up than I like. Thankfully some…

Morning gang. I was up .2 at my WI. Kinda disappointed since my peak on Monday showed a huge loss. But trust the system. I know ww works when I track honestly. Don't feel great this morning but hoping a good hike will help. Coffee perked me up quite a bit already Meeting a new friend at 9. The place we are meeting has…

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…

Morning BBB Well wishes Skip. Today is weightlifting day. Still have a sore shoulder so taking it easy on upper body. Then tonight is the big fundraiser for the thrift store I work at. They fund the ambulance service and walk in clinic here. It's a beach theme...i blew up dozens of beach balls yesterday...it's an open air…

Morning gang I slept terrible last night. Woke with a bad dream at midnight and then proceed to toss and turn for what felt like hours. Haven't checked my oura ring yet but expecting a very low number...it's pretty accurate at tracking sleep. Spanish class soon then helping set up for a fundraiser after lunch. Maybe a nap…

Morning gang. Welcome home Lou. Well wishes to your brother. I would have guess a higher number skip. I feel like it's 37 since I've known you. I'm at five that were mine and Ron had 3 others while we were married, plus I think 2 before. We only had one car the first 7 years we were married. Mine died right before the…

Morning gang Thanks to all who served. We took a late afternoon hike and tried out a new trail. It was a gorgeous hike through a mountain valley. No maping app does a great job here so I was just guessing it was a loop based on consulting multiple maps. We planned to turn around after 1.5 hours if it didn't look like a…

Morning gang Safe travels I too have used all weeklies. Yesterday's breakfast out while we had no power didn't help with earning back rollovers. Technically I have lots of activity points but try not to use them unless post workout protien is needed. Today no bailey's in my coffee as is my usual Sunday tradition. Today I'm…

Hi all. We didn't have power since last night...finally back on. We went for a fun hike. Walked by an abandoned rock quarry. Rocks still on the conveyor. And an oasis in the middle desert. You could see where the water pools when it rains and there were palm trees instead of just cactus. Ron's getting a ,massage now and we…

Morning gang So sorry Mary. Glad you can be there for your friend. Ron hasn't watched the news since November 2016,. He didn't even know election results until YouTube ran a banner last night. I curate mine carefully. MSM is off the rails. Today all of my family is on the way to Lincoln for the state volleyball games. We…

Morning gang. We have Spanish class this morning then a acrylic pour paint event this afternoon. Probably a bike ride in there somewhere too. We met the new neighbors that live in the unit under our kitchen and dining room yesterday. They brought their bikes. (Ebikes with fatty tires) maybe I'll see if they want to join us.

Morning gang We switched our VPN from Phoenix to Puerto Rico and have substantially less ads, political or otherwise. We mostly watch YouTube and pay to have no ads but if I watch peacock or hulu we didn't upgrade. Thankfully most of the people we hang with in Mexico make a point to not discuss politics. Similar to our…

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…

Morning gang What a nice tribute to a vet. Lou amazing photos. We didn't do much yesterday. Yoga then visited a couple fo art galleries. One had some originals but lots of mass marketed stuff. The other was more craft items. We are taking g a class there on Wednesday to make some coasters, which we need for the condo. Day…

Morning gang Went out for happy hour with work friends but hime by 4. Ron and i have a new video game we are playing...it's a puzzle, translation, escape room type. Hard but fun. We stayed up later than normal playing g. Today I think a good yoga workout then 18yo niece has a Volleyball district game. I think the last one…

Morning gang. Had fun out with friends last night. The band was a bit loud for conversation but overall a good time. A few really good costumes. They went to another bar after but we came home at 9. Ron just does better with a consistent bedtime and I have a volunteer shift today so no complaints out of me.

Morning gang. Hooray for new digs with a mountain view. Pet Halloween contest was a dud. Only about 6 dogs showed up. But had a couple of decent beers and called it a night. Going out tonight too with some friends. They have 3 places planned but 8m guessing we will bail after the first or maybe the second. Ron fades fast…

Happy birthday

Morning gang I feel ya Mary. I tended to not buy Halloween candy until the day of. I have no willpower against little candy bars. When the night was over I'd put a couple of snickers in the freezer and the rest in the car so Ron would take to work. Otherwise I'd eat the rest in a matter of days. Here there are a few trunk…

Morning gang Our massages got canceled yesterday so we went to the parrothead meetup instead. Super fun and met some super nice people. One of them is showing us an apartment today that will be vacant during Jan/Feb. I don't have high hopes but you never know. Only 3 weeklies left after a couple of margaritas. Today should…

Lee Ron is thinking Costa Rica, Brazil and Belize. 6 weeks or so in each.

Morning gang. Ron is a way ahead of time packer. When we had the house the dining room table was full of his stuff weeks before a trip. It super came in handy the year mom died and we flew to tropical vacation 16 hours after her funeral after not being at home for a week. We could literally pack the suitcase in 10 minutes…

WTG Lucy. There was a huge party at a nearby house. Music from 9pm to somewhere around 5am. Thankfully with the fan and minisplit on it was just background noise. Glad we weren't closer. Internet was out all morning but finally back now. Since we don't have cell service in Mexico we don't know if it was condo wide, city…

You can do it Lou. I can travel for months at a time with carryon only.

Morning gang. I too dipped into to weeklies for happy hour, chips and guac. Worth it. Glad you had fun at the party Skip. Not sure today's plan. Probably a bike ride. We are also seeing one more condo this afternoon. It is further put of town but on a nice beach. We bought a TV at the thrift shop yesterday. Our currently…
