Good morning BBB friends. Sassy was really happy to have the grandkids come over last night. She is getting pretty bored with her forced inactivity. Misses her usual; long walks and play time in the yard. Elsie and Andrew provide a nice distraction. Looking forward to a group photo of all the BBBers who get together this…

Good morning gentlemen. OK, I'll be the outlier: I love breakfast. Might be my favorite meal of the day. Typical, for me is a plain omelet and a couple slices of toast. Really special occasions, Rita makes waffles. Without breakfast, I start getting weak in the knees and lightheaded by midmorning. Hope you start improving…

Good morning BBB friends. Both girls seem to be progressing - and both are impatient at the speed of recovery. It was 80, here yesterday, but 70 today. Still dry, though. We're having an exceptional September. Too bad I can't get away for a hike. Hang in there Skip. There was a song that said, "Life is about changes." You…

Good morning gentlemen. Sassy seems to be doing well. We give her the pain meds prescribed, but she doesn't really seem uncomfortable. She really wants to be able to run and play like normal, but we need to rein her in for a few days yet. Rita is better, but impatient. She spent the whole afternoon working in her garden -…

Good morning BBB friends. Sassy is comfortable and content. She is squeezed between my hip and the arm of my recliner, as I type, happily snoozing. Look forward to hearing about the BBB get-together, however many make it.

Good morning gentlemen. Sassy is doing very well at home. The two meds they gave her make her a bit lethargic, which is fine. I keep her on a leash when she goes out in the yard. Thankfully, our weather, now and for the next two weeks, is perfect, so no rain to deal with. One of us is with her pretty much all the time. She…

Got home with Sassy a half hour ago. She is cuddled on my lap, now. Has an impressive incision and collection of stitches. As long as she doesn't worry at them, she can avoid wearing a cone. Great to have her home.

Good morning BBB friends. We should be able to pick Sassy up from the vet sometime late this morning. Miss her. Rita can't shake the lingering effects of Covid. She tests negative but has a periodic cough that bothers her. My niece was finishing her bachelor's degree with study abroad in Spain, in June, and caught Covid.…

Good morning gentlemen. Vet said Sassy did well under anesthesia, but there was some bleeding, so they had to make a little longer incision than they usually do. We should be able to bring her home today. Seems very strange in the house without her. Rita still suffering lingering effects of Covid. She tests negative but…

Good morning gentlemen. Sorry for the disappointment, Lee. Any competition requiring judging can lead to puzzling results, at times, I think. I have to have Sassy at the vet at 7:30 this morning. She is being spayed today. They'll keep her overnight for observation and, if all is well, we'll pick her up tomorrow. Rita was…

Good morning BBB friends. Taking my buddy Sassy to the vet first thing this morning to be spayed. They'll keep her there for observation until tomorrow. The post-op requirement of no running and jumping might be tough to maintain. They did tell me they would give us some meds to keep her calm and sleeping more than usual.…

Happy birthday to the Air Force. I just saw a notice.

Good morning BBB friends. My experience has been that most piñatas prove difficult for young kids to break. Great day of college football, yesterday, at least in the Pacific Northwest. Now, if the Seahawks can handle the 49ers, my weekend will be complete. Rita tested negative for antigens, yesterday, and today is the last…

Good morning gentlemen. Rita tested negative, yesterday. I think I will be back sleeping in our bed tonight. Following CDC guidelines, her quarantine will end tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful, here, again, today. The long-range forecast shows temperatures in the 70s all the way into October. That's weird, but I'll take…

Wonderful photo, Lee.

Good morning BBB friends. You'd have no pool time out here, Skip. It was 45 at the house this morning. The furnace kicked on. It's sunny and beautiful but feels like fall. Shop cleanup, this morning, Duck football on TV this afternoon.

Good morning gentlemen. Rita improves. She'll take an antibody test today to see how that goes. DS tested negative, yesterday. Think I'll spend some time cleaning up the shop, this morning, then watch the Ducks play BYU, this afternoon. I'm a sunshine fan: if the game goes south, I bail out and do something else. Sunny and…

Believe me, guys, I take skin cancer seriously. I have had five basal cell carcinomas removed, as well as one melanoma. To top it off, my grandfather, who was a baseball coach, PE teacher and outdoorsman for more than 40 years, died of metastasized skin cancer when he was 75.

Good morning BBB friends. Cool and cloudy, today. I'll ask the annual question, "Where did summer go?" Rita is the same: not terrible but still coughing. She is masking when we are in the same room, and I sleep on the couch downstairs (so I don't have to make the bed in a guest room). Sassy is adaptable. She tucks Rita in,…

Good morning gentlemen. Had to log in with my phone yesterday, now my mouse has died, so I have to maneuver with my finger. I struggle with small changes to my routine. Laughing at myself. Rita felt a bit worse, last night. I think she did too much work in the yard, when she was unwell. I still feel fine. I did venture…

Good morning BBB friends. Having to type on my phone. Couldn’t log in on PC. I hate typing on my phone. We are 1/2 positive, here. Rita is, I’m not. That still means 100% quarantined. Rita working in the garden. I’ll hit the shop.

Good morning gentlemen. Typing this on iPhone. Wouldn’t let me log in on my PC. I hate typing on my phone. We got out test results back yesterday and Rita was positive. I was negative but will stay home anyway. This is the first time we have had Covid affect us directly. Rats. Rita feeling better but still coughing. I’m…

Good morning BBB friends. Still waiting for Covid test results. DS's came back positive, so I am not optimistic. His symptoms are mild. While waiting for our results, I can still take Sassy for a long walk. I finally looked at photos from our cruise. I'll share a selfie of our family before boarding in Seattle.

Good morning, gentlemen. Bill, if it were me, I'd go through all the steps of replacing lost documents, then find the originals. DS received his PCR Covid test results in 24 hours (Positive, sadly), so we might have our results today. While waiting, I'll take Sassy on a long walk, this morning. Near perfect walking…

Good morning gentlemen. Loved watching Seahawks upset the Broncos last night. Real football - and baseball - is enough for me. I have never figured out the fantasy stuff. That was a good end to a bad day. My VA hearing test showed the expected problems with high range sound, especially in my left ear - closer to the muzzle…

Good morning gentlemen. Rita was coughing a lot again, yesterday, so she took a home Covid test and it was positive. I tested negative. She took another and it was negative. DS tested positive. Covid drama in the family. We have an appointment for PCR tests this morning. Until we get results, we are quarantined. Rats. I…

Good morning BBBB friends. Way to go BAL! Wild win for the Mariners over Atlanta last night - blew a 4-point lead in the top of the 9th, then won with two homers in the bottom. Looking as though the longest playoff drought in U.S. sports is about to end. Early appointment at VA this morning, for a hearing test. They say,…

Good morning gentlemen. Saw no whales on the cruise, Lee. Didn't go on any of the expensive excursions with that aim, either. Early appointment at the VA for a hearing test. Haven't been tested in two years and they said I was borderline for hearing aids then.

Good morning BBB friends. I commented elsewhere about how little attention is paid to 9-11 these days, comparing it to Pearl Harbor Day after the same time span. Church, followed by a church event with games and prizes for the kids - including 30 spinning tops turned by yours truly.

Good morning gentlemen. Incredible how little attention is now paid to 9-11, isn't it? I suppose it was the same when my parent's generation thought of Pearl Harbor Day, in the 1960s. Rita feels much better today. So that's a good thing. And I seem to have avoided catching her cold, which is also a good thing. Church this…
