Good morning gentlemen. Get that boat out on the water, Lee. Cool but dry, today. Best of all, a warming trend is starting that shows a 10-day forecast that is all in the 70s or - gasp - 80s! Those are actually normal temps, but after the May and June we have had they sound positively tropical. Rita took me out to dinner,…

Good morning BBB friends. The BS never ends, Skip. (I couldn't help myself). I'm sure the wedding will be beautiful, with all the right memories. Hugs for Lisa. Drying out today, it seems. I'll take Sassy out for a walk. She hasn't been eating well the last few days, but I suspect that is all part of the being in heat…

Good morning gentlemen. Hope your bachelor week goes OK, Bill. Sassy let me sleep in until 6, this morning. She has been off her feed the last couple days. I'll take her out for a walk, this morning to see how she does. I suppose this is just part of being in heat. We're drying out today, so I should be able to mow the…

Good morning BBB friends. Rita gave up on geraniums in front of the house years ago, because the deer ate the flowers - not the foliage. They would even climb the steps up onto the front porch to get to them. Deer candy. The only geraniums we have, now, are in the backyard, where it's fenced. Heavy rain coming up from the…

Good morning gentlemen. We are on Sassy's last bag of puppy food. Her weight seems stable on that. Will keep an eye on her when we shift to the adult formula. Spent the day, yesterday, installing two LED light fixtures in the garage, replacing the 20-year-old fluorescent ones that were failing. The garage has a 12-foot…

Good morning BBB friends. Exciting times, Lisa. Take time to breath deep and enjoy the moments. Everyone complains about the weather, including me. I should appreciate our blandness. I'll take 65 and damp over dangerous heat indexes and violent storms. Planned to go for a hike, today, but radar projections show it raining…

Good morning gentlemen. Prayers for your DS, Mike. The latest iteration of Covid seems often to be quite mild. Hope that is the case for Shawn and his girlfriend. Hope the back cooperates, today, Bill. Hot sounds good, from our standpoint. I'm sitting in the kitchen with a space heater running. I planned to go for a…

Good morning BBB friends. Sassy is now wearing old boys' jockey shorts, backwards with her tail through the fly. Looks funny but works. She is happy she can spend more time with us in the carpeted parts of the house. It's been a week, now. Hoping this doesn't go on too much longer. Glad you're negative, Lou. Sorry about…

Good morning gentlemen. Sam, I am so sorry about your sister-in-law. All your heat ... we have a space heater going because the furnace doesn't work and it's 43 outside. Still getting highs in the mid 60s, when we should be in mid to high 70s. I'm wearing wool socks and sweats. I won four pieces of wood in the club raffle,…

Our 20-year-old furnace has a lifetime guarantee on the heat exchangers - the parts that have failed. The guarantee includes parts and two hours of labor - for a 3 to 5-hour job. Since our DDIL's dad is an HVAC tech, his company is ordering the parts and will schedule him to do the job at the end of his shift. That way he…

Whoa! How could I forget to mention, that today is the Army's birthday, as well as Flag Day. Hooah!!

Good morning BBB friends. Steph, your 10-waterfall trail is in Silver Falls State Park. I practically grew up there. With the park only 20 miles from Salem we spent many happy times there. Things have changed a lot since the 60s, though. There used to be log cabins, built by the CCC, with big stone fireplaces. They were…

Good morning gentlemen. It got so chilly in the house, yesterday, that I turned the furnace back on. Sadly, it didn't produce any heat. That will have to wait until parts come in and it gets repaired. We now have an electric space heater running in the kitchen to take the edge off. It's 46 outside, at 6 a.m., looking for a…

No breeding for Sassy. I fact, we are obligated to have her spayed in the purchase contract. If you want to purchase breeding rights, you pay more.

Bill, glad you were able to enjoy a hike and time with Heather. You made me go to Google to learn what Ollaberries and aebelskivers were. Both sound tasty, and I feel good, having learned something.

Good morning BBB friends. Sassy suffered a diaper failure overnight, so Rita already had to clean blood stains off the carpet in our bedroom. We'll be very glad when this heat thing is over. It's 48 and breezy outside, right now. The high today is forecast to be 62. It's 65 in the house. I might have to turn the furnace…

Good morning gentlemen. Welcome back to the new world, Lee. We turned off the furnace a week ago, because of problems with the heat exchangers. Might have to turn it back on. It's 65 in the house and the high today is forecast to be 60. Only made it to 58, yesterday. Pretty strange for June. We identified that Sassy was in…

Good morning BBB friends. Today is our 35th anniversary and we started the day cleaning up little bloody spots in the carpet. Sassy's diaper came off during the night. Had to laugh. No plans for the day. I do need to mow the lawn. Perhaps we'll go out for supper.

Good morning gentlemen. Safe - and aggravation free - travels, Lee. Great job on the loss, Steve. Today in Philippine Independence Day, and coincidentally, our anniversary. Rita has put up with me for 35 years. Don't have any plans. I need to mow the lawn. Maybe we'll go out for dinner.

Good morning BBB friends. My mom seems to be fine, Skip. Sassy came into heat yesterday. We are keeping her in the kitchen, where the hardwood floor is easy to clean. We bought some doggy diapers for her to wear in the evening and at night, when she is with us in carpeted parts of the house. It was quite a comedy routine…

Good morning gentlemen. It's not raining!!! Should be a dry day, today, for a change. Looking at the extended forecast, though, there is still some rain and a lot of cool weather. Hard to believe that a year ago June brought us a heat wave that hit 114. The highs are 50 degrees lower, this year. There are tasks I no longer…

Good morning BBB friends. No haggis, Lee? I'm on my second 12 oz. cup of home-ground Columbian. Don't know where that stands on the grande-venti scale. Probably have at least one more before I start my day. Have fun Dennis. Having fun turning a small vase from a piece of black locust burl I got a couple years ago. The wood…

Good morning gentlemen. Miserable weather, yesterday. Rainiest June day on record. Weather guys say the storm looked more like November. We keep hearing that sort of thing this year. Today will just have showers, they say. We are finally celebrating our DS' birthday. We're taking the family out to dinner tonight. We'll…

Good morning BBB friends. Spoke with my mom yesterday. She said she was feeling fine. Her only symptoms were a runny nose and fatigue, and those had cleared up. Now she is impatiently waiting through her quarantine period. Thanks for the prayers. As a native of the Pacific Northwest, I can tell you that a little rain…

Good morning gentlemen. Spoke with my mom yesterday. She feels fine. Just has to wait out her quarantine period - impatiently. Pretty good for a frail little old lady. We are all very relieved. The stumps weren't very large - less than 6-inches in diameter - and on either side of the front steps there was certainly no…

Good morning BBB friends. Praying for my 98-year-old mother this morning. She has tested positive for Covid. So far, her symptoms are quite mild - a runny nose and feeling tired - but she is pretty frail, so we are worried. My sister is keeping a close eye on her. Spent the morning digging out a couple of stumps for Rita.…

Good morning gentlemen. Lee is having a great time, I know. Got word from my sister, yesterday, that my mom (age 98) has Covid. Fortunately, her symptoms have been very mild: a runny nose and feeling tired. Praying that is the extent of it. She is pretty frail. I dug out the two stumps, yesterday and mowed the lawn.…

Gee, Sam, I'm sorry about your DMIL. I know you joke about her, but she is family. I hope she isn't too uncomfortable.

Good morning BBB friends. Hitting a deer can do some serious damage to your car, as well as the deer. I don't miss commuting at all. I haven't painted anything more extensive than the railings on our porch and deck in many years and have no plans to do so in the future. Our interior is all the builder's white. Not stylish,…

Good morning gentlemen. Hope today goes better for you, Bill. And that you figure out the mask issues, Mike. Should be a pleasant day, here, with temps in the mid-70s ... followed by rain tonight, and more cool weather in the offing. Anyway, DW has things for me to do. She wants to remove the stumps from two large…
