Good morning gentlemen. Hope all have a happy Independence Day. Lots of fireworks last night - even though they are illegal here. Sassy stood in the window, wagging her tail and trying to figure out what the heck was going on. We are so glad this is her reaction, rather than the fear many dogs suffer. I made swissed steak,…

Good morning BBB friends. Lou, you always make me smile. Dennis, I didn't need that pointed out to me. I was a member of the Fort Lewis Y2K planning team. 1-1-50 will be about two months before my 100th birthday. You make me feel pretty ancient already. I planned to pick up prescription refills tomorrow, then remembered…

Good morning gentlemen. Still praying for Joanne and Sam. Sometimes it seems like he should have chosen the nickname Job. Mike, I used some 5-minute epoxy yesterday, too. There is a slight aroma, but I have never heard of epoxy giving off anything I'd describe as "fumes." In my case, I was filling some drying cracks in a…

Good morning BBB friends. Your nursing duties amaze me, Sam. Praying that healing progresses so you can return to normal life. House sizes have changed a lot over the years. I grew up in a family of five, living in 1,300 sq. feet with one bathroom. We didn't feel crowded. Now, two of us live in 2,900 sq. feet and it…

Good morning gentlemen. Praying for Joanne and Sam, still. Mike, I use small amounts of epoxy, frequently. I have never noticed any off gassing at all. CA glue (like Superglue) can be pretty bad but epoxy not so much, in my experience. I've watched videos of guys doing some major castings with epoxy without taking any…

Good morning BBB friends. Hope Joanne and Sam are doing OK today. Beautiful house and property, Skip. Too bad it hasn't worked out. We have 2,900 sq. feet and DW complains it is way too big. I'd happily live in half the space - if there were a 1,200 sq. foot shop built in the back yard. How are the pigeons doing today?

Good morning gentlemen. Today is Sassy's 4th birthday. How time flies. Bought her a spiky ball that she'll love to chew. She had one of these that lasted two years, then we bought another that lasted two days. Hope this is one of the longer-lasting ones. She is a hard chewer. High 80s again today. I planned to be in the…

Good morning BBB friends. Lots of errands to run today, things that were put off while we were camping. Is the new house because of your new job, Skip? To ease the commute? Maybe I missed something.

Good morning gentlemen. Back to the real world today. We have banking and shopping to do today. I need a haircut, too. And I guess I will shave for the first time in a week. I have started to look like a baboon. Two inches of rain in a day would be considered a major storm out here. We won't see two inches of rain between…

Good afternoon BBB friends.

Good afternoon gentlemen. Glad Joanne made it home. Continued prayers for both her and Sam. Forgot to check in this morning and in a hurry now.

Good morning BBB friends. Tried to sign in with my phone yesterday and the app didn't recognize me. I gave up. Today, I guess, all is forgiven. We are back in the comforts of home. Sassy got a much-needed bath, while I hung the tent and sleeping bags for airing out. Packing things away today, then catching up on lawn…

Good morning gentlemen. I add my prayers for Joanne and Sam. They have been through so much. Got home yesterday and hung the tent and sleeping bags on the back deck, to air out. I'll pack them today, to prepare for the next trip. One disappointment from our camping was how Sassy did. It seems she is not a camper. She does…

Good morning gentlemen. Keep plugging away at it Bill. You’ll get there. We’re breaking camp now. Packing up, then unpacking and cleaning is such a hassle that I sometimes wonder if it’s worth it. I guess it is. We’ve had a very restful week. Now to load the truck and get ready for the drive home.

Good afternoon BBB friends. Still here in the great outdoors. To be honest, I am ready to get back to the house, but I am out voted.

Good afternoon gentlemen. Hope all facing medical challenges do well. Still easing back in the great outdoors. It is supposed to rain some this afternoon, so might make a trip to the house to take a shower. Need to pick up more half-and-half for morning coffee, anyway. I must be really old. I have no idea what CV means.

Good afternoon BBB friends. Well, if you want to feel old…. This morning I had to have help from my DDIL to tie a tiny lure on my line. My arthritic fingers couldn’t manipulate the 2lb. Line. Talk about feeling old. Losing 55 lbs. is a great achievement. Well done. Enjoy the benefits.

good day gentlemen. Still enjoying the campground. I have had a Ghost Whisperer for several years. I love how light it is , compact too. Easy to pack it on hikes. I wore it this morning while drinking my hot coffee. I am sorry for the miserable weather in much of the country. Sorry, but we don’t have room for all of the…

Good morning BBB friends. Sitting under the towering trees sipping hot coffee perked in an old enameled coffee pot. Camping is wonderfully restful.

Good morning gentlemen Sitting in my down jacket waiting for the coffee to perk. Use an old enameled pot when camping. Old school. DDIL is sipping her French press brew. Beautiful and peaceful here under the towering firs.

Good morning BBB friends. Loading the Tacoma this morning and heading out for a few days of camping at a nearby state park. Glad the weather is warming up. When we camp, we really camp - in a tent and sleeping on the ground.

Good morning gentlemen. The weather takes a turn for the better today. That's a good thing, because we are moving to a nearby state park for the next few days. Check-in time is 2:30. I expect the boss will have plenty for me to do before then. We haven't been camping for several years and Rita laments that she is out of…

Good morning BBB friends. Church this morning, then mowing the lawn and running errands. I always worry about those who place their lives on the line - especially when the decisions are made in haste or for frivolous reasons by those who have never risked anything.

Good morning gentlemen. Hope they're biting. Lee. Our first house had garish wallpaper and shag carpeting in every room. I stripped the walls and painted everything in my weekends. Took me a long time. I finished about six months before we were transferred to Alaska and sold the house. That's the last time I did any…

Good morning BBB friends. You have your heat index, Skip; we have rain and a high or 62. Want to trade?

Good morning gentlemen. Solstice was last night and today is the first full day of summer. To celebrate the occasion, Tumwater is having light rain and a high today of 62. Not very summery. I hate painting, especially indoors. My sympathies, Steve. Keep working on it, Sam and Bill, hope you both get back to an acceptable…

Good morning BBB friends. DS asked to just have supper at our house, last night, so that's what we did. Always keep frozen lasagna in the freezer for such occasions. Rita has a list of errands for us to run today. Supposed to rain, anyway.

Good morning gentlemen. In my day in the Army heads would roll if soldiers suffered either heat or cold injuries. I never heard of rhabdomyolysis. Hope the young recruits all recover well. Had a nice evening last night. DS and family came over for supper, rather than our all going out. Then we watched a movie. We're…

Good morning BBB friends. Every day is a holiday for some of us. Plan to take DS and family out for supper as a belated celebration of his 37th birthday. How did so many years fly by?

Good morning gentlemen. Prayers continue for Sam and family. We remain pretty cool around Puget Sound, with a high today of 68. i would welcome some heat, but it's better than rain. We're taking DS and family out for dinner tonight, as a belated celebration of his birthday.
