Good morning BBB friends The comment goes beyond odd, Lee. It was just rude. I am with Sam, Insurance is important. We had dinner at Texas Roadhouse last night. I tracked it, but that took me well into weeklies. Leftovers will last through the weekend, I think.

Good morning gentlemen. Sorry about your car, Mike. We got a full day of damp, yesterday, with showers and light rain. That helped the big fire, I am sure, though it has grown to about 9,000 acres and partly covers several of my favorite trails. Rita and I did some banking in the afternoon, then had dinner at Texas…

Good morning BBB friends Cool, with light rain. Much needed. Impressive, Lou. I'm good if I track four or five days in a row. Dermatologist froze a dozen "pre-cancerous" spots on my head, face and ear, yesterday. That's par for the course for me. I'm good for another six months.

Good morning gentlemen. Sorry you're feeling "blah" Steve. Maybe a walk would help, not hurt. Just a thought. The dermatologist found nothing alarming. He did find a bunch of actinic keratoses ln my head and face that he could freeze with liquid nitrogen. Always a fun process. I'm good for another six months. The light…

Good morning BBB friends Cool, cloudy with a chance of some rain. Good forecast for the firefighters. I need to get a haircut and pick up some prescriptions. Then I have my dermatology appointment. It's been years since they found any skin cancer, but after one malignant melanoma and five basal cell carcinomas in the span…

Good morning gentlemen. It's cool and cloudy, today, with a chance of rain. That is welcome news for the firefighters. I have a dermatology appointment this afternoon. My annual - or there abouts - full body inspection for skin cancer. Don't expect them to find anything bad. They usually end up freezing a few spots on my…

Good morning BBB friends Going to be a pleasant day today, with a high of 76. Rita has an appointment this morning, but I hope for some shop time later. The down side of hiking in the mountains in the summer: for several days afterwords I discover all the mosquito bites. I use repellant, but it sweats off. Amazing how they…

Good morning gentlemen. I have a temporary crown, now, on one front tooth. No crispy apples of corn on the cob for two weeks, until the permanent one gets put in. Rita has an appointment this morning, so we'll be on the road. Maybe some shop time in the afternoon. Yesterday was 92, but today only 76. Pleasant.

Good morning BBB friends My 10-mile hike, yesterday, ended up being 15. Tiring, but satisfying. Less fun today, with a 2-hour dental appointment this morning. New crown for front tooth.

Good morning gentlemen. Active is good. So there seems to be a lot of good going on here. I really got it wrong on yesterday's hike. I thought it was going to be 10-12 miles and it ended up at 15, with 2,684 feet of vertical. Much of the hike was above tree line, too and exposed to sun that felt a lot warmer than the…

Good morning BBB friends Leo looks about like I do when "shopping." Hope all is well in the soggy Midwest. I'm packing out for a hike in the Cascades' Goat Rocks Wilderness.

Good morning gentlemen. Oregon has a lot of covered bridges, Washington, not as many. I don't know why. Heading out for a hike in the Cascades. Plan is to hike south on the Pacific Crest Trail from White Pass, to Shoe Lake, in Goat Rocks Wilderness. I have been there several times before, but it's been at least five or six…

Good morning BBB friends Strange looking cat, Steph. Much darker than bobcats I have seen, too. Enjoyed watching Ichiro's number being retired before last night's Mariners' game. Good that they won the game, too. Planning on church this morning, then just running a few errands

Good morning gentlemen. Going to be a hot day, here: low 90s. I think, after church, we'll run some errands and leave the outdoor stuff for another day.

Good morning BBB friends You have my sympathies, Lou. The whole shower thing always seems like a way to force your friends to subsidize your kids. I'm with you, Sam. Heck, we have a woman in our church who requested a "food train" for a month following the birth of her second child - meaning members of the church would…

Good morning gentlemen. well, it's warming up here over the weekend, too. Eighty-five today, 90s tomorrow. I'll mow today, to avoid the heat on Sunday. I think I gained a few pounds on our coastal trip. The scale is dead, so I can't check. Anyway, I am eating light to shed some. Had a salad with a can of tuna for supper…

Good morning BBB friends Sorry to have missed a few days. Just busy being on the road with the grandkids. We got home late last night. The kids will be picked up this morning, while I will pick up Sassy from the boarding kennel. Will the cruise from Florida to Chile be another one around the Horn or go through the canal?

Good morning gentlemen. Sorry to have missed several days. So busy on the road with grandkids that I just didn't check in. It has been years since that happened. After a quick scan of missed posts, it seems a lot has been going on. Congratulations on good medical tests and health outcomes. Congrats on the new Colorado…

Good evening BBB friends. Sitting by the hotel pool watching grandkids play. I’m tired. Fun day, though.

Good morning gentlemen. Nice shot, Steve. Kids aren't up yet, but Rita is making breakfast. Hope to get on the road by 9. Doubt we make that. We will drop Sassy off, first, then head south and make a leisurely way down to Seaside.

Good morning BBB friends. I'll have to look for that Discovery show, Dennis. The city has ownership of the old brewhouse and has long planned to turn it into some sort of commercial thing, with restaurants and galleries. The fire is still burning up my second home - the forest in Olympic National Park.

Good morning gentlemen. We keep our camping equipment stored in bins, with inventory lists taped to the sides. I just load them when we are heading out. The Bear Gulch fire is still growing. They haven't posted the morning update yet. We're skipping church this morning. Too much hassle getting the grandkids up and ready to…

Good morning BBB friends. Grandkids today and through the week. We are taking them on a road trip down the Oregon Coast. Leaving Monday. Mowing lawn today so we won't be greeted by a jungle when we get home.

Good morning gentlemen. I have never tracked anything on a spread sheet, ever, in my life. I'll leave that to the accountants. The Bear Gulch fire is now nearing 5,000 acres. Most of the growth has been south of the park, in national forest timber. Still very sad. We're picking uop the grandkids today. Their parents are…

Good morning BBB friends. Cloudy and cooler today. That will help the firefighters some, but the Bear Gulch fire is burning in terrain so steep and rugged that you can't directly attack the blaze, except from aerial water drops. This one will burn until fall rain and snow. Enjoy the day without appointments, Sam. More shop…

Good morning gentlemen. Glad things are going well in Colorado. There is nothing new under the sun when it comes to hearing aids. I am sure the audiologist will have some suggestions. The Bear Gulch fire is now over 3,000 acres. Most of that is in the national park. Old growth Douglas fir has very thick bark that is fire…

Good morning BBB friends. Maybe Leo could keep Sam's DMIL company. One of those places where I take beautiful forest photos - you know, giant 800-year-old trees, lush understory, gushing river - is burning right now. Fire started July 6, human caused, illegal fireworks suspected. Tuesday it jumped a river and moved over a…

Good morning gentlemen. Great news on the test, Bob. There is a fire burning over on the Olympic Peninsula. It doesn't make the national news because it is only 1,100 acres. But that is almost two square miles, and it has now burned some of the ancient forest I regularly hike through. I am heart broken. You can't replace a…

Good morning BBB friends. OK, I posted earlier, and it has disappeared. Can't imagine what I might have said that triggered the AI reviewers. I took a really steep, tough hike, yesterday, to a spectacularly beautiful place in Mt. Rainier N.P. I will refrain from describing the hike, for fear of hitting another trip wire.

Good morning gentlemen. We're expecting 88 degrees, today. That's hot, for this neck of the woods. I plan to mow the lawn this morning. Tiring hike, yesterday. Really steep - more than 3,000 feet of climbing in about 3 miles of the trail. Hard on the legs going up and coming down. Still feeling it this morning. Worth it,…
