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?

Good morning gentlemen. Going to be hot here, too, today: 94. But our humidity is low. Hope to get to church this morning. Between activities and colds, it's been a month since we attended. My week seems out of balance without. Maybe a bit of shop time. I was asked to turn some spinning tops for prizes at a children's…

Good morning BBB friends. Sassy ate our supper before Rita could cook it, last night (1/2 pound of marinaded beef for stir frying). She was appropriately contrite. Never turn your back when temptation is on the edge of the counter. Driving Rita to a casino north of Seattle, today. Haven't been there for years. Sassy has…

Good morning gentlemen. Tough situation at the plant, Steve. Enjoy those windows. Sassy had a great supper last night. Rita turned her back and our pup scarfed down 1/2 lb. of thinly sliced marinaded beef, intended for our stir-fried dinner. All is forgiven this morning. Driving through Seattle this morning. I hate driving…

Good morning BBB friends. Feeling a little better this morning. Rita's soup was as good as advertised. It's the fresh ginger that really does it. Got new phones yesterday. Mine is mostly set up. Have to figure out how to do Rita's. I was going from iPhone to iPhone. She is migrating from Android to IOS. our IT department…

Good morning gentlemen. I'm feeling about 75 percent, this morning. Slow progress. We got switched from one Big 3 provider to another and now have a pair of new iPhones. We are probably getting ripped off in a variety of ways, but my philosophy is to not sweat the small stuff. Our church has an event every fall to kick off…

"Honest about real cost" That's a real buyer beware area, for sure, Sam.

Good morning BBB friends. Rita made me a pot of arroz caldo last night (Philippine chicken soup, with lots of garlic and ginger). I feel much better this morning - not well but improved. We're heading out this morning to change our cell phone carrier and get new phones, a process sure to be traumatic in some way. Wish us…

Good morning gentlemen. Feeling a little better this morning. Rita made me a pot of arroz caldo last night. That's a Philippine chicken and rice soup with lots of garlic and ginger. The very best when you have a cold. I'll credit her for my improvement. We have to get new phones this morning. That will be traumatic, I'm…

Good morning BBB friends. Nobody likes change, Skip. I thought you were planning your own departure in another year, anyway. Just focus on your Carolina coastal future and ride out the short-term bumps in the road. Neither Rita nor I have had Covid, though it made its way through DS' household. Knock on wood.

Good morning gentlemen. Still feeling lousy, though maybe not as lousy as yesterday. The lawn was mown despite how I felt.

Made me laugh, Dennis. That stinks, Mary. Get well quickly. I did test - twice - with a negative both times.

Good morning BBB friends. So, in Air Force basic training, did they leave a little mint on your pillow every morning? The Army wants to know. (Only teasing, Skip, all basic is a pain in the tuckus). We keep our thermostat set at 77. I'd have to put on long sleeves and pants at 71. We are lucky to be among the minority of…

Good morning gentlemen. Trying to type with a dog draped across my arm is a challenge. Feel like death warmed over this morning. Have I mentioned I hate having a cold? DS gave me a Chrome Cast module a couple years ago. It makes it easy to show photos or videos on the TV. It's also the only way we can watch Netflix, since…

Good morning BBB friends. My back feels better, but I developed a cold - coughing, congestion, scratchy throat. Covid test was negative. It's always something. We have pretty much decided to dump ATT and switch to Verizon to get "free" iPhone 12s. The hassle will be figuring out how to swap all our APPs and data from the…

Good morning gentlemen. The back feels better, but I have come down with a bit of a cold. Sigh. (Covid test was negative). Rita asked that I sleep with a mask on. How well that went can be seen by the fact that I was up at 3:45. I'll sleep on the couch or in a guest room tonight. Tried to get a new phone from ATT yesterday…

Good morning BBB friends. Sassy was beside herself with excitement to see me, yesterday. She ignored Rita and the grandkids, for the whole time we were at the kennel. She got back to her usual focus on the kids after we got home. I was wrong about the grandkids' pickup time; they stayed the night. Their folks will get them…

Good morning gentlemen. Glad the heart workup was normal, Mike. Enjoy the shooting, Lee. Time with the grandkids is always fun, so it was a successful trip. I would like to go away with Rita, some time, without the kids. Yesterday evening my back decided to go into spasm. I could barely move. It's been years since that has…

Good afternoon BBB friends. Made it home. Unloaded and I'm tired. Getting too old for this stuff. Still have to figure out supper for the kids. Their parents will pick them up around 9:30 tonight, I think.

Good afternoon gentlemen. Got up and out of the hotel in pretty good shape, then drove 300 miles, picked up Sassy, got home and unloaded the car. Whew! Ready for a break. Still have to figure out what to feed the kids for supper. Their parents will pick them up around 9:30 tonight.

Good morning BBB friends. Checking in from Newport, Oregon, this morning. I think I need to find a beach suitable for digging and castle building, today. Too much time driving and looking at spectacular views yesterday. Looking forward to heading back north and picking up Sassy tomorrow.

Good morning gentlemen. Lee's comments were exactly what I was going to say, Mike. Checking in this morning from Newport, Oregon. Spent too much time driving yesterday. Fun for me - seeing old sights - not so much the other occupants of the car. I can't help it; I always choose the scenic old road over the more direct…

Good morning BBB friends. I loved my cataract surgery, Sam. It was a month between my eyes, though. I had to pop one lens out of my glasses to avoid headaches and read with one eye closed. Worth it, though. Hope the ladies get better quickly, Doc. Logging in from Astoria, Oregon. We will work our way down the coast to…

Good morning gentlemen. We hit the road successfully, yesterday. I am logging in from Astoria, Oregon. The weather at the coast was much better than forecast, yesterday: sunny and around 70. We'll see about today. It's really hot inland, and that often brings clouds and fog on the coast. We spent time on a couple beaches…

Good morning BBB friends. Great to see Lisa kick things off. I'm exhausted just reading about all she does. Dropping Sassy off at the pet lodge, then taking off for our jaunt down the Oregon coast. All the arrangements are solidified for our cruise to Alaska, the first week in September. I need to pick up a new iPhone 13…
