GM~ Stayed up way to late watching Commanders loss. Fired (actually she quit us) one realtor; hired another; ticky toc! Long day ahead. Cheers SKipper

GM~ Up early for a CT scan. Then, despite the holiday, off to office to do some catch up work. Afternoon is a meeting w/ realtor. We think we are going to pull down listing and go with another firm. Helluva race in Las Vegas yesterday. Cheers skipper

GM, Mary~ I missed Momma Moody's 29th Birthday well-wishes! Happy Birthday to you too, Miss. Mary! WE are all blessed to be able to have celebrated (dare I guesstimate) a decade+ together. Birthdays. Events. Health. Highs. Lows. #Grateful for each of you. Today is catching up on school work. Nascar race w/ friends tonight.…

GM~ 'Twas a great great night with me friends/family and coworkers. About 70 in attendance. Old bosses. Fine food. Lots of libations and toasts. The firehouse guys I used to work with were busy. Sadly, one of Andrews AFB young (E4) firefighters took his own life yesterday. No warning signs. So very sad. Up early to drop…

G'Morning, Gents~ Wanted to pop over to say hello to everyone and extend a virtual hug to Steve and Connie today. We will forever remember and honor the legacy of Jake and Steph! 🙏 ~skip

G'Morn Long day yesterday. Today is going to be long and my "retirement…Beers & Cheers" party is tonight. We had about 75 RSVPs so should be fun! Ready for 3 day weekend and pictures of new puppies on Monday (we hope). SGM - hope the recovery continues to yield positive outcome. Cheers, Skip

GM~ C'mon, Friday! Big soiree tomorrow to celebrate 36 years of federal service. We are hosting a "Beers & Cheers Farewell" party at a favorite Brewery. Should be a great time. Had to send out an office PSA. What moron thinks its okay to leave their dirty cups and dishes in the sink! I loathe laziness and halfassedness!…

GM & Happy Hump Day~ Rainy/gloomy drive to work today. Have to go to DC later this morning for badging with one of our contracts. Ironic, as the shutdown kitten show continues. SGM - hope you are healing up. Sam - free computer assistance? I'd take that offer all day/everyday. Curious if tech support might come fix my…

GM~ Groundhog Day. Cheers, Skipper

UGH! DW backed out of her garage a few years ago - right into my TRX. Not my best moment (responding).

GM~ #MT did a sleepover with BFF Lillie. DW in PA and I had to work at butt crack of dawn today, well before daycare opened. Did way too much over the weekend. Me back is killing me. Today, staff show up to work in new office. Me thinks this is gonna be a crazy kitten day. Lowered price again….much to our chagrin. Need…

G'Morning. 3 Flexeril and a Miller Lite last night - but am really paying for it today! Realtor wants us to drop price again. Ugh…. «<BAL» Football and brew afternoon. ~Skipper

GM~ Moving day (office). Here late. Up early. Back is a wreck….what we do for the bosses…… Hope to relax a bit tonight. I miss having my pool and just sitting in front of one of the jets…. Open House today. Something has to give soon…… How's AB? She must be getting miserable at this stage….. Cheers, Skipper

GM~ Shutdown kittenshow continues. 🤬 In office early. Today is our big "move in" to new space party. Gonna be a long weekend….But like UPS, I do logistics well! Another OH tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Dear friends 1 y/o Silver Lab in emergency surgery last night for bloated stomach that twisted. Sounds expensive. Beautiful…

GM~ Worried about our country. Up and out the door early again today. At office by 0545….didn't get home last night unitl 7p. Today is shaping up to be the same. DW has been exceptional in helping me get office ready for our big party tomorrow. I could use a weekly massage. Cheers, Skipper

GM! Glad to hear some positive progress for DBIL. Hoping things continue to trend positively. Office move is really consuming most of my time. And with the shutdown, who knows what's next. My last day as a Fed is this Saturday (10/4/25). I loathe that my career ended like this (and for 1000's of other loyal federal…

GM~ Sorry to hear DBIL's health issues. Scary! Up early and coordinating office move logistics for this upcoming weekend. Gonna be a VERY long week. ~Skip

GM~ Lots to catch up at work. Just placed a $300 instacart order for office chair and some office supplies for me new office. Is today we see a budget vote? Good grief if we go through another shutdown! Enough already. Mary - sounds like everything was a HUGE success. Cheers, Skipper

Well - home…..unpacked. Commanders loss but Elliott Chase win. So the day was a wash.

G’Morning Up early to catch flight home. I need more sleep. Maybe some football and NASCAR later today

G'Eve ing Long few days……lots of events….networking….. TOTALLY different world being on the CTR side of things. Got some sun and got some pool time so that was nice too! I'm ready for a full nights sleep! Glad you are feeling better, SGM! Sending continued t&ps for Miss Charlotte. Sounds like its nearly ortho time for knee…

GM~ Late night (early morning). Didn't get back to hotel until 2a. Haunted Halloween at Universal. Lines were extraordinary and I really didn't enjoy much more than visiting Universal Simpsons (Moe's Tavern). Today got some sun poolside. Tomorrow is conference day. Hope you all enjoy weekend, Mary. SGM - sorry you still…

GM~ Got to sleep in a little; we don't have to be at airport until 1030. Tryn'a catch up on work. Tucker insists on his head in my lap (he saw me packing) while I am trying to get some keyboard time. Gloomy/rainy here. Ugh. Plans for a "un"official retirement soiree underway. Officially, I am retired from Govt effective…

GM~ Home late. In early. Long day ahead, but R&R to ORL begins tomorrow. #Excited. Cheers, Skip

GM~ Busier TH this week. Since joining this office, I've easily put on #20. Gonna be a long week with ORL trip Th-Sun.

GM Long (short) week ahead. Off to ORL w/ boss and colleague Thur-Sun. No follow ups from OH. Thinking we will likely pull down at end of month and pivot to rental. Ugh…..

GM~ DW let me sleep in and took over #MT duties this a/m. Congrats, Doc! That'll be an upgrade for some of your duck blind outings. Happy Anniversary Steph/Ron! SGM - hope you feel better soon! DW and I are off to brewery for a Redskins watch party (I cannot use Commanders) Cheers, Skip
