Got power back Saturday evening, neighbor was keeping an eye on the generator and watering tomatoes while we were in Alabama this weekend for a wedding. Me dad married DS#1 and his beautiful and sweet fiance' via Google Duo. Her dad and I were back up officiants (thank you to internet ministries) just in case, but Alabama…

Mornin' BBB. Saturday morning wedding ceremony at Enterprise, AL went well, although it was almost unbearably hot and humid even at 10 AM. Me dad performed the ceremony via Google Duo. Their dogs were the ring bearers. Reception brunch was moved inside for the AC. Long day flying home and then collecting dogs and cat and…

Mornin' gents. Power is still out in my neighborhood. Finish line in sight for the bathroom, Steve. Sorry about the roof. Ugh. Motion sensor that sets off a dog barking recording. That or the sound of a pump shotgun clambering a round would probably deter those scoundrels riffling through your vehicle. Be OP ;-)

Morning BBB. Just outrageous, Lou. So sorry. Do you mind sharing the name of the moving company? I agree Mary, your DS will be fine. Alabama is the new Florida. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Power out from wind downed trees and power poles since yesterday afternoon. Clinic is still out too, and we have never been without power at the clinic for more than an hour because we are on the same line as the human hospital just down the road. Today is gonna be interesting. Well earned Silver Star, if you…

Mornin' gents. Coming along, Steve! I hear you, practice is so busy it is wearing me out and have little energy to do much else. Power out from wind downed trees and power poles since yesterday afternoon. Clinic is still out too, and we have never been without power at the clinic for more than an hour because we are on the…

Afternoon gents. Checking in from work. Be op ;-)

Mornin' gents. We didn't get much severe weather. I think it went just north of us, Mike. Someone posted a video last night of what looked like a very weak funnel forming in Sharon, CT, emphasis on weak. Dave is off camping? Keep on keeping on, Steve. You will get 'er done. Be OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Where is everybody? Back in from walking the pups and morning garden tending. Dave and Rita have gone camping. I can sing like Elvis, but I can't move like him. Thank you, thank you very much. Wow, Lisa. So glad no one got sick. Interesting census taking observations, Mary.…

PS had my first BLT of the season last night. Tomato and lettuce grown in the garden. Used pita bread instead of sourdough and guacamole instead of mayo. Pretty darn good and satisfying using my garden grown ingredients.

Wanted to go fishing last night in Fisher's Island Sound but couldn't find a buddy to join me. Need a second hand for anchoring at night in the current. Too bad, the weather and tide was perfect. Your camping trip sounds great, Dave. Wish I could get DW to camp. Steve, I'm impressed that you have taken this bathroom…

Mornin' BBB. Couldn't find a fishing buddy to go with me last night to the salt. Tide and weather was perfect but really need another hand on the boat with anchoring up at night. So I got a good night's sleep instead. So I am going to tell you all a secret. Next weekend, we will be attending a small gathering of immediate…

Mornin' gents. Sam, hang in there with the 4 yr old. Take him fishing? Maybe too hot. Bill, old fashioned mopping is a body twisting affair. Maybe you would find a swifter less back breaking? I applaud your motivation to keep moving in spite of your pain. I feel so frustrated that I still am not back to the energy level I…

Mornin' BBB. How was the hike, Dave? Interesting that the CC is opening up in...Omaha? In the NE, they are still ruminating on even starting with the wee ones. Most higher learning facilities are talking online courses only. Raining here, finally. Much needed. Sorry such a bad day, Kelly. Hope today goes better. Where did…

Mornin' gents. Missed posting yesterday. Had to get into work early. Enjoy the Olympics, Dave. How is the BP, Sam? Be OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Ha! "I don't need anymore Glocks..." said no infantryman ever. Missed posting yesterday. Had to get to surgery uber early. Couple of major exploratories. One on a cat and the other on a doberman. Both are sweet animals and surgeries went well. Dog training today. DS#2 coming in again this afternoon for a day…

Mornin' gents. Hang in there Skip. Yes, they enjoyed the early morning swim. Especially Tess. It is easy on her old bones and she loves hunting frogs along the edges. Babe is all business with the retrieves, hounding me for the next one. Hoping we get significant rain today. Yesterday not so humid, got over 90 degrees but…

Mornin' BBB. Lou, LOVE the mask. The hat suits you as well. Durango rebel boots have a like sneaker fit reputation. https://www.durangoboots.com/rebel/?gclid=CjwKCAjwmf_4BRABEiwAGhDfSXunPX-R5hbfzR8gnsPawWrSkCXajJ9y5GuStguiZZXDY66jbXBWCRoCbYQQAvD_BwE There is baseball scheduled tonight. We'll see. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Just back from a boat ride on our local lake. Just beautiful, calm sunrise ride. Dogs had a good swim too. Sorry to hear about DMIL woes, Skip. Stuff like that really takes the joy out of life. BBB OP ;-)

Mornin' gents. I started this morning by getting me wee boat out on our local lake at daybreak for a test spin. I worked on the motor yesterday, replacing the fuel filter, checking the water separator, and fuel lines. She cranked right up in the driveway (you can hook a hose into the motor so you can run it out of the…

LOL, Mary, you are absolutely right. DW wandered off to look at fiance's mom's garden (which was very nice). I tried google too, ha! No help at all. Why do they need statie po-po at the casino?

Any time, Steve. Canine otitis can be frustrating. Went to a Jack and Jill for DS#1 and his fiance' yesterday afternoon in Palmer, MA. Only a few of us wearing masks. Had to back away from a few people. Hot today, hotter tomorrow. Did OK dog training yesterday AM. Started drinking water BEFORE I got dehydrated. Be OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Happy 10th Anniversary Lou! Were you referring to your final paycheck or your most recent paycheck? Mary, you have got to be the busiest person I know. FUSCBE? DW and I attended a get together at DS#1's future in-laws yesterday afternoon. Social distancing was in practice and we were outside. It was sort of a…

Feeling mortal. John Blake, an OU standout player under Barry Switzer, NFL assistant, and OU head coach passed. He was in my 9th grade class at Clyde Boyd Jr High in Prattville, OK. We played football together. He was a fullback back then and I was a blocking guard. RIP John.…

Mornin' BBB. Yep, I was getting ready to fall asleep when the rain stopped the game. Too bad really. Seems like a cheap win. Happy belated B-day to Rita. Had a nice convo with a Latino Uber driver yesterday while we were waiting for our passengers' bus to arrive. Sadly, he and nor passengers masked up when they arrived.…

Mornin' gents. Happy belated Birthday to Rita. Steve, I rarely advise clients to use a flush to treat ear problems any more. Mainly because they tend to be minimally effective and because the dogs HATE it. I am way more successful treating the underlying allergy (food or atopic or both) and using single dose treatments in…

Mornin' gents. Yep, that dog won't poop for a couple of days, LOL. Dog training today. Got me wee John Deere back from repair and overhaul. They forgot to put the padded seat back on or it came off and got lost in transport. Gotta call the guy this am. Be OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Muggy here. Thunderstorms today. S'posed to hit 95 on Sunday. Heard the Yankee/Nats season opening game may be cancelled due to thunderstorms in DC area. Ugh. What did the doc say Doc? So would you fly into Bean Town to get to the NH sit gig, Steph? Dog training this am, then picking up DS#2 at train station…

Happy Humping! As Sam would say. I spray my outdoor clothes and gear with permethrin. I would say that if the Army still uses it, its effective, but maybe not the greatest safety endorsement. Might get some rain today. Bicycle seats and nether regions. Be OP ;-)

Mornin' BBB. Lou, try Lake Travis or Barton Springs for Cecelia. Those were my favorite places. How's PT go yesterday, Skip? How's your toe, Kelly? Still ...working in the coal mine...(remember Devo?) BBB OP ;-)
