SGM - SERIOUSLY! ChaChing! A PACNW coffee table book of those extraordinary pictures! I'd buy one! In a minute. I traded out my AMEX for Chase - soooooo much better. And the United Miles are a perk! 2 F/C tix to Denver next month for DW birthday - free! CONGRATS GrandMama, Mary! Woot! Whats new in Indiana?

GM~ «Joanne» Busy AH this week. Back and forth to client sites. This is a TOTALLY different world than what I am used to for sure. DW home from DELMARVA…..she's giddy with excitement. Cheers, Skip

yessir. 1/2 mile of 113.

GM~ Long weekend….got a bad nosebleed that would stop. Spent most of Saturday in ER. Waiting to see ENT later today. DW is in Berlin, MD meeting builder today. Looks like its a green light go. 1st Qtr 2026 delivery. Beach life here we come. Still unsure what I am going to do with work situation - but I'll figure it out.…
-
congrats, Gary!!!! T-minus 5 for me. DW finally on board for beach life. signing our contract this weekend. With luck, spring delivery. Now to figure out how to live and work 3 hours apart…..sigh…….
-
Time to make the donuts.
-
SGM - I got my Virginia pass a while ago and appreciate that perk! I'm elated to live vicariously through your treks on the trails and your magnificent photos! I still think you should print a coffee table book! DW is still unconvinced that beach is the right choice. I'm not getting younger and looking for the "last stop"…
-
GM~ B.Azz.D yesterday! Didn't get home until 8p. Another long one in store today. DW managing the realtor photo shoot today. Actually glad I don't have to be there for that….. CBL. Skipper
-
G'Morning MFP gods hijacked my kickoff and post yesterday. Not sure what I said, but it must've been "Lou'ish" style sarcasm that irked them. TW today. A day with no traffic is my kind of day. Trying to dive into a Amazon project that I have limited visibiity on….Ugh. Realtor photo shoot on Thursday afternoon and Thursday…
-
GM Great pool time yesterday. Hope for more today. Realtor appt at 2p. Long week ahead. Skip

Tucker had a great day with his "friend" Lillie (same rescue league). BUT, Tuck is a bit of a Pool hog! He had a great day tooling around with ole Dad, too! LOVE HIM soooo much! He bring me joy, no matter how tough the day!
-
GM At vet for annual check up. Poor Tucker is not a fan of Critter Fix’rs. Tried a pill last night and this morning to calm him down. looked at houses yesterday. Nothing spectacular. Quiet fourth. Pool today. Have a great weekend.
-
Dirty old man! LoL!
-
GM~ Hardly feels "Fourth'ish" - Chores (CarWash; Haircut; Miller run) then a few hours at 'hood pool. We may go to look at a model today. Happy Fourth! Skipper
-
Lou - if it helps, I'm still at work (its all about billable hours, right)! Long gone is the early release for feds prior to a holiday. Its nearly miller time.
-
Happy hump day! 🤬 realtors!

PRECISELY, MMoody! That's what we found! A diamond in the rough, though his price per SF is about $20 higher than anything in that county: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/715-Constantine-Ct-Warrenton-VA-20186/59927936_zpid/?utm_campaign=zillowwebmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

GM~ Not happy. No other offers - and ours was turned down. Unrealistic seller wanted to close by July 30 and not accept 45 days. Heck, we haven't got our house on market, but our community avg day on market is 7 -9 days. I think next month, after they've paid another month mortgage, they'll come back to us. And my offer…
-
SGM - great question…but no. New house checks a few boxes: No HOA! 3-car garage (hate that my Vette costs me nearly $300 a month to store) POOL! Maintain first floor living. This home adds about 11 miles (further west) to my commute….
-
GM~ I like buying cars much better than working with realtors! Ugh! Skip
-
We put in offer on new home today. #FingersCrossed! No stress.
-
GM « Joanne » DW and I looked at a new house yesterday. We are going back today to meet realtor. 99% confident we are writing a contract. Found a new “self serve pour by the ounce” brewery called CraftWorx”. 60 beers on tap and you pour your own. Wicked cold brew. Decent food. We will go back. Heat persists.

Doc~
-
you forgot - getting gas fill-up, Dennis. Other than that….100% spot on!
-
GM~ In the office first. Apparently Friday's is "Hawai'ia Shirt" day. Of course noboby told me. So I am confident with my Nationals Baseball Tommy Bahama Hawaiian shirt, I may get back some cred lost during my Miami Vice incident earlier in the week. «Joanne» Mary - so damnnn proud of you! CONGRATS! Dinner with my GN and…
-
Doc - RIGHT! Suddenly, I am the "old guy" in the working world! To solidify that point - yesterday, I wore a nice linen white sportcoat - sleeves pulled up past forearm, baby blue shirt, blue jeans, with blue suede shoes (shouldve taken a photo). During a team meeting, one of my colleagues remarked, "Skip! You always dress…
-
I swear I posted. Grrrr…. @Dennis - "maybe three" - most days, its less than that! 100% no chance of rain yesterday. 100 degree heat. Great day to stretch the Vette; top down. Parked nicely at office. Life is Good. UNTIL the universe decided to take umbrage with my cockiness! CRACK! By the time I heard the thunder and ran…
-
#Proud of you, @Mary! SGM - the camping pics and experience look/sound amazing! DW's idea of "camping" is a Hilton instead of a Ritz. 😬
-
GM Another scorcher in store today tipping over 100. Ugh. Busier than heck and feel like I’m behind on everything. HH with one of my best friends last night. At one point of the conversation we we were exchanging back ailment stories. And he went on to talk about his knees and shoulder. I stopped and lamented this was a…

Good to be back on a stage!
