Good morning gentlemen. It's prescription time, again. I need to pick up meds at the Army hospital pharmacy. It's amazing how much I will go through to avoid paying the co-pay to get our prescriptions at a civilian pharmacy. DDIL invited us over to their house for supper and an evening playing a board game, last night. Had…

Good morning BBB friends. Pleasantly warm day, today. After church, I'll spend a little time in the shop, and some time sitting in the shade and reading a book. Lazy day,

Good morning gentlemen. No action thrillers made about soldiers ... Oh, wait. Church this morning, then nothing planned for the day. It will be pleasantly warm (81).

Good morning BBB friends. LOL, Lee. 1,855 is too many days to be counting down, I think. In my barracks days troops would put up "short-timer's" calendars when they got under six months left on their enlistments. At three months they would become a "two-digit midget." Should be a pleasant day here, today, with a high in…

Good morning gentlemen. I've often wondered about the strange concentration of accounting backgrounds in our little group. There is a work party at church today. Not sure what the target is, so I will bring a wide variety of tools. Fortunately, the weather is cooling a bit, today: high in the mid-70s. We'll be back in the…

Good morning BBB friends. We ran out of half-and-half, so I had to put milk in my coffee. It does not bode well for my Friday. Great loss Kelly. Keep it up.

Good morning gentlemen. Accounting would have been dangerous for me - it would have driven me crazy. I am not a detail and number guy. I used to hate the time I had to spend on budget committees. It's only going to be 80, today, but that's still too hot for Sassy. I'll take her for a walk early, while it's still cool.…

Good morning BBB friends. If I was left as a bachelor I'd take hikes, go fishing, play in my shop and spend my evenings watching TV ... But that's what I do anyway. Got the yard work done yesterday, before it got too hot. A new tool (a power carver) came in the mail, so today I will spend time playing with that.

Good morning gentlemen. Hope you find a doctor with more helpful ideas, Bill. We're still under a heat advisory, here, with a forecast high of 95. Humidity isn't bad, though. The biggest problem is that our very wet May and June grew a lot of grass and brush, which is now dry and raising the fire danger - a lot. No major…

Good morning BBB friends. No one shines anything in the military these days. They wear rough-out tan boots, and the low quarters are made out of shiny plastic. The world is going to heck. Had a satisfyingly hard hike, yesterday: covered 15.6 miles, with 3,311 feet of climbing. A bit sore today, but the lawn needs mowing…

Good morning gentlemen. I'm a bit sore, this morning. Yesterday's hike was harder than I remembered. I ended up covering 15.6 miles, with 3,311 feet of climbing. Still, getting a physical challenge was a major reason for hiking, so tired and sore was an acceptable outcome. No big views on that trail, so it isn't a popular…

Good morning BBB friends. Getting loaded up for a hike in the Cascades. I haven't done much hiking this year, so I am really looking forward to this one.

Good morning gentlemen. In Sassy's year with us I don't think I have ever heard any thunder, so I don't know how she would react. She hasn't been bothered by fireworks or distant artillery fire. I am finally getting out for a hike today. Heading for the east side of Mt. Rainier N.P. for a hike up a forested trail that gets…

Good morning BBB friends. Another beautiful day forecast, here: 81 and sunny. The leaves are starting to turn on one of our maple trees, though. How can that be?!! Had great fun at DGD's birthday celebration. Spending time with our favorite people in the world is always satisfying.

Good morning gentlemen. The birthday party was a lot of fun. I was intrigued by the demonstration of carving and texturing, at last week's club meeting, so I ordered a bunch of stuff online. Now I wait for delivery, Like Christmas in August.

Good morning BBB friends. Used to love early morning drives through the Texas hill country. Something about the light filtering through the live oaks just appealed to me. Today is DGD's 9th birthday. The grandparents will gather to celebrate with her this evening.

Good morning gentlemen. Sounds like fun, Lee. No tomatoes at all, here. We have two green cherry tomatoes on one plant. Our horrible weather in May and June did us in, I think. Our bumper crop, this year, will be in grapes. Our 5-year-old grape vine is covered with large bunches. They should be ripe in September. Today is…

Good morning BBB friends. Oh Mary, I am so sorry. You are in my prayers.

Good morning gentlemen. I'm very sorry about your friend, Lee. Hope you figure out what happened, Bill. I was showing off for our then 4-year-old son in a motel pool in Baker City, Oregon and swam under water right into the side of the pool. I had a big lump and a bright red raspberry scrape right in the middle of my…

Good morning BBB friends.

Good morning gentlemen. First time I've heard of that following cataract surgery, Sam. Get better soon. Caught my limit if very nice rainbows yesterday morning. The fish are in the freezer, now. Next time, Rita says, she wants me to smoke my catch. Realized yesterday, that I missed a committee meeting from church on…

Good afternoon BBB friends. Just got home from a morning fishing expedition. Caught my limit of rainbows and got home in time for lunch. Hope the eye improves quickly, Sam. DW wants to do some more shopping for DGD's birthday (she will be 9 on Sunday). That's my afternoon, I guess.

Good morning gentlemen. Hope all went well with Sam's second cataract surgery. Got up early. Think I'll go fishing.

Good morning BBB friends. "Pop smoke." Skip, you have picked up some Soldier talk at those VFW meetings. Sassy has several Kongs but has little interest in them after she has removed whatever food we stuff in them. She does love getting a portion of her food that way. Her very favorite chew toys are a pair of sticks that…

Good morning gentlemen. Rant away, Lee. Horrible situations. After a cloudy morning, with a few sprinkles, the sun came out and brought a beautiful 77-degree afternoon. Supposed to have showers again this morning, before the sun comes back tomorrow. Mariners pulled out the win in a pitching classic against the Yankees, 1-0…

Good morning BBB friends. Sassy is restricted to the hardwood in the kitchen, right now, after waking Rita up by throwing up on the bedroom carpet, this morning. Something she ate, I am sure. We can't find a toy she can chew without tearing off pieces and swallowing them - with predictable results. Warm and humid today,…

Good morning gentlemen. Hoping Bill is OK. Here's hoping the Yankees get back to losing tonight. :) Sassy woke Rita at 4:30 this morning by retching ant throwing up on the bedroom carpet. I have no idea why. She must have eaten something. It's like having a little kid, who can't explain how they feel. She'll stay in the…

Good morning BBB friends. Glad you are free from quarantine, Mary. I am feeling better, too. Lou, I will be forced to "shop" today, too, as our DGD approaches her 9th birthday. It becomes a test of my self-discipline, as I have learned that even glancing at my watch during one of these expeditions will lead to…

Good morning gentlemen. I'm a big believer in the benefits of walking, Lee. Keep it up and the body will come around - and those long days in the field with your dogs will be easier, too. DDIL asked us to check on their cat and chickens while they are off on a 4-day camping trip. Last night I found one of the chickens had…

Good morning BBB friends. it will be 94, in Tumwater, today, but with low humidity. Plan to go to church, then get in some time in the shop. Vintage 1952 would be 70, would it not?
