GM~ Very busy week……long days in office….long evenings, purging and prepping for movers tomorrow to come pack out / store stuff. Hired a few ousted colleagues from the Fed side - so putting pieces of the org puzzle together is finally starting to gain momentum. Now, to avoid a shutdown and pause on everything. Congrats on…

GM~ Good luck to BAL and the Puppy Pimp…..(JK)! Long day yesterday - but got to spend HH with my old boss. Love him and his wife to death. DW and I enjoyed seeing them and catching up. He's going to come back for my October retirement (from Fed'l service) soiree. Glad everything for you and DS worked out well (dry), Mary!…

GM~ Sending thoughts/prayers for Mary/Tom, and all those impacted in WI. Traffic was horrific this morning……me blood pressure raised already. HH tonight with former boss who is in town visiting his grandchildren. He was one of the great ones. HOT and STEAMY predicted here all week. Standing by for a big news conference at…

Yikes, Mary! Hope everything is okay. The weather unpredictability and severity are insane!

GM~ Long couple days - broken up by a nice weather day with Veterans and Vettes! Car show was fun. Today has been "purge purge purge" day. Movers on Thursday to do partial pack/storage. No new news to share, Dennis (yet). DW travels up the weekend after Labor Day so should get some update/photos. Braves Umpire was good to…

Up early to head to the Vettes for Vets car show. ~skipper

CONGRATS, Doc!

GM~ Crazy long week. Still trying to catch up from Monday's long day….. DBIL/DSIL coming for dinner and spend night tomorrow ahead of Vette for Vets car show on Saturday morning. Its always a great show and lots of turnout for a great cause. VA doc appt later today. Hope Joanne is doing okay……and hoping those fires in PNW…

Gainesville Road…..haaaa. There's a reason I am moving. Thanks for outing me, Dennis :-)

Waves while running…..

Hi, Dennis USCG Academy - to MC a retirement ceremony for a colleague who retired after 28 years of service. SamIAm - ugh. Hope the meds help. Is it HH time yet? Clock seems to be moving in reverse. ~skipper

GM~ Long day yesterday. Flights were on time which helped. Dragging this morning and this is not the week to not be on the "A" game. The great purge continues. Cheers, Skipper

GM~ Up early to catch a ride to the Airport. Long day ahead. I enjoyed the Iowa race too….we have 9 in our Race League (FanTrax). I'm 5 points out of first. Its been a tight few weeks among the top four. Cheers, skipper

GM! I tried to endure and watch the same game while switching over to Senate to watch confirmation votes (the one I am watching did not come up last night, so suspect a nuclear recess appointment might be next step). I did get to sleep in (0730)….. DW and I went for SBUX and a stroll through the Farmers Market for fresh…

Raising a dram in celebration of Laddy!

GM~ Slept in a little…..Lots to do today. ~skipper

Long day……didn't get home until after 7p last night……so many moving parts. Meeting with builder tomorrow. Sam - sorry to hear…..my DMIL was notorious for similar antics. A criminal Shih-Tzu? OMG, funny! Keep LEO off of the Post Office boards, eh? Cheers, Skipper

AMAZING PHOTO, SGM!

GM~ Already on the keys for an hour. Coffee got cold while trying to answer overnight messages. Oi. Me thinks I might be a bit over me head. ~Skipper

GM~ Can't wait to have my own pool again. Its nice when they come…..its better when they leave :-). Up and att'm early. Long day ahead. Cheers Skipper

G'Afternoon~ Just getting home - long azzzzz day Dennis - current home goes live Labor Day weekend; new home delivery December. Lots of moving parts. Oh yea, did I mention, long azzzzz day……

GM~ HOTTR'n HE🏒🏒 here too. Lou - I've moved the same damm boxes 6 times (crap DW just cannot seem to part with - many from her Dad's 70's era car business). I'm trying in vain to get her to purge. Hoping to get to pool and cool off and watch some Brickyard 400 later. ~Skipper

SGM you are correct. I said 'GM! Long azzzzzzweek!" Dennis: CORRECTOMUNDO. +Cars & Coffee w/ Vette; Pool time (only an hour); hosting DBIL/DSIL/DN tonight coming back to IAD from 2 weeks in Scotland. ~Skipper

GM~ Long Azz day! ~skip

G'Morning~ Waving as a drive by. 14 hour day yesterday. Another 12 hour staring me in the face today. With luck, out early tomorrow. Skipper

G'Morn! Up way to early….after staying up way too late. Didn't get home until after 8p. Another long one in store today. Cheers Skip

just climbing into bed. 13 hour day. Small time w/ DW. Back on computer for a few hours. Feel better, Steph. Cheers, Skip.

Waving as I drive by…….

G'Afternoon~ Mary - do it! Carpe Diem! I tried (unsuccessfully) to do CPAP. COULD NOT get used to it and found I fought it more than it helped. After two years of trying, the VA implanted the INSPIRE device. That gets activated when I'm ready to shut off lights….30 minute delay to allow you to get to sleep. I often have to…

G'Evening….(errr, G'Morning) The perils of long days? LONGER nights. The perils of past conditions, an average of 4-5 hours sleep at best. (Past 30 days analysis: 4.8 hours per night, with VERY few exceptions). This has been ongoing for decades. Tucker went to bed two hours ago and is slumbering (errrr, SNORING). Up early…
