  • Proof of happening. Thankfully, the sun came out. Cold but really good to share a cup of coffee with Steve. Had a hard time getting the girls to look up for the group selfie. Had to put treats in the shirt sleeve of the hand holding the camera (and they kept falling out!). Not a great result, but but Steve kept smiling…
  • Afternoon BBB Made it to Indianapolis last night. Got up early and hit the road and am now in KC meeting up with a WW friend for a light lunch, then another 4 hrs to Mankato, Kansas for tonights stop. Tomorrow hunting wild birds with the girls. BBB OP ;-)
  • Packing truck and then...Indianapolis bound! Tomorrow Mankato Kansas. Hope to get a proof of life photo of me and Steve as I roll through Kansas City. Onward and downward ;-)
  • Furiously doing laundry this morning. Taking my wee tractor to shop to get it fixed while I'm away. I'll probably need it when I get back to move snow. Then heading to practice for last day of work in 2024. I have a wooden salad bowl that my mom's family used. Not sure how old it is or what kind of wood, probably something…
  • Mornin' BBB Hitting the road tomorrow morning. Way behind preparing for my road trip, durn it. BBB OP ;-)
  • Steve, I will be rolling through KC late afternoon early evening on Friday. I would love to grab a cup of coffee or a quick bite with you. If that doesn't work then maybe on the flip flop. Onward and downward ;-)
  • Mornin' BBB Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about Dennis and Kris flying home. Yucky way to cap off a nice cruise. I do not know if any of you do Aldi's or not, its a great place for good deals on fresh produce, but their meat is kind of hit or miss. It's a little like a yard sale, you never know what gem you might…
  • Mornin' gents. Putting my wee tractor on the trailer today so I can drop off for repair early tomorrow on the way to the practice. I think a gasket needs replacing. Runs OK, but is leaking oil almost a fast as I can fill it up. Getting prepped for trek west on Thursday. Got an automatic watering system for plants, but will…
  • Mornin' gents. I checked the news to see if there were any injuries or fatalities associated with piano moving in Massachusetts, thankfully non were reported. Buttasscold here this am. 16 degrees. A mild 32 degrees in Monument CO with a high of 55 expected. Colorado is looking better and better-er. Set up an automatic…
  • Mornin' BBB How was the salmon, Mary? I LOVE salmon. I get the Aldi's Atlantic salmon all the time and roast it on the grill with different dry rubs ( my favorite is Tony Cachere's Creole seasoning-love a little heat). Sometimes I will make a glaze, but usually not. Great shot of low tide on windy Bermuda beach. Drones?…
  • Dennis, that is pretty cool. Small world. Lots of flyboys and girls with Ft Carson Army Airbase, the AF academy, and the SpaceForce base. One of my hunt club friends has a nephew at Ft Carson who is the meteorologist for the Airbase.
  • Mornin' gents. 90% of life is showing up. Keep on keeping on. Praying that Collin sticks with it. Praying that whatever tack the oncology team takes for Joanne, it will provide the intended result. Congrats on being a loser, Mike! Good luck with piano today. My knee and back ache just thinking about it. Trying to wrap up…
  • Mornin' BBB Glad you got replacement specs, Mary. Rainy here too. A client brought their dachshund puppy in the other day. They named it "Tube". He was adorable. How's the Shi Tzu situation in Austin? Bermuda weather OK? Hope the detour hasn't been too much of an inconvenience. BBB OP ;-)
  • Mornin' gents. Christmas goodies always get me. I fixed myself a big egg breakfast yesterday so I would stay away from cookies dropped off by clients. The plan went well until midday...I split a peanut butter ball with one of my techs. My only indiscretion. Hope echo results are good. Seems like you have been feeling…
  • Well, looks like they caught the United Healthcare CEO shooter. A highly intelligent, well educated, tech guy from a prominent Baltimore family. Not what I expected. Bravo Mike! Glad to hear the concert was a good time, even if not well attended. Prayers for your DW, Sam. Time to go to work and avoid eating Xmas goodies…
  • Mornin' BBB Hang in there, Dennis. What a nightmare with water heater. Ugh. Like Dave, I would have had to tough it out and wait for plumber. Pinchy eyeglass frames are really annoying. Hope it is not too much trouble to return and replace. Put M on a flight early yesterday morning with cat. From the videos sent yesterday…
  • Good old cephalexin. Glad it is doing the job. I use that particular antibiotic quite a bit in my practice. Great photos of the sanctuary, Steve. Hope your grand debut went well, Mike. Tower shoot was fun for the girls, tough on me. Standing in the cold made every bone in my body ache. Came home to an empty house, had put…
  • Evenin' BBB (((Dennis))) Go 'Horns!
  • Ditto all the above. Wow.
  • Evenin' gents. Pearl Harbor Day and Steve's memories of the memorials brings up huge wells of emotion for me. I am a proponent of a strong defense, and yet, I hate the idea of war. Yikes, Bill. Curious as to which antibiotic they put you on. I can only imagine how enthralled Sassy gets with the grands. The mental image…
  • Fired up the grill last night and roasted some salmon fillets. Aldi's had some pretty decent salmon yesterday, so M snagged them for me on her morning grocery shopping excursion. Nice morning with the girls hunting after digging out of snow. Two roosters hanging in the shed. M's 2014 Camry has 190K and needs more work than…
  • Mornin' BBB Great shot of the port in Madeira. I spent a little time this morning brushing up on the geology of those islands, because geologically, that area of the Atlantic is very interesting. Lazy afternoon yesterday. CEO shooting has precipitated a serious manhunt. There are indeed some undercurrents to the story.…
  • Mornin' gents. Snow, yup. I did a snow slip last night when it was just a dusting. Was in my crocs and hit a slick spot in the grass walking the dogs in the back forty. Classic pratfall. No injuries. Glad the ground wasn't frozen. Hope the doc just prescribes RICE, Steve. And a maybe a little anti-inflammatory. Well, done…
  • I call the above "Spaniels under bush"
  • Mornin' BBB Rules are rules, and Karens will be Karens. On the other hand, rules were made to be broken. Go get 'em, Skip. I like the lighting and wreath. Classy. Irish Folk music. Sounds like a really "good craic". 4 inches of snow overnight. Day off and everyone but me is off to the Nationals in Pickney, Illinois. Sadly,…
