So the home purchase is going through, good. Are they fixing the foundation or cutting the price so you can?

And yes, loan is approved and all papers being signed on Friday. Then we will start the casual renovation/upgrading of the townhouse over the next 14 months since a chance of a year’s rental has been taken off the table by both banker and insurer. First up master bath, then kitchen and then new fireplace. Oh yes, First World Problems indeed.

Hope things are progressing ok on your end.

I always enjoy days off during the week. Great for appts and shopping, although today i am helping somebody unload a truck and playing chauffeur, so nothing exciting. Oh, and the BMW is back in the shop, which is becoming a trend for the now 14 yr old vehicle. Wear & tear when you get close to 200,000 miles.

Roasted chicken tonight. A Chenin Blanc might be in order.

If you need someone to go up on the weekend from time to time and check the status, just let me know. Said from a legit offer to check the status and for a free place to stay. Have air mattress, will travel.

Congrats T&M! Just post the address and location of the hide a key, and we'll taking turns "checking on it".

I actually do have a project going with a vendor in Lexington, NC, so expect to be in that (kinda sorta) neck of the woods this spring into summer. I'm sure I'll combine a long weekend to see my folks on the TN side of the Appy hump and Asheville is always a fun place to stop, so hopefully I can catch you guys on one of your weekend mountain retreats. I'm excited for your new pad!

Recovery going nicely, no need for pain meds even Tylenol. There were a few times when the local was a little light, but persevered, didn't get to the foot kicking stage and lived to drink another day. MsGris feels compassion for me now, so I can be nice and not my curmudgeon self. I know she is compiling a list of honey dos for after full recovery. I'm thinking a couple years for me. A few books to read and wine to drink

Status: offline 		Dennis, glad things have and are going well. Hope a good recovery continues.

Karl, 2 months ago I got rid of my 17-yo BMW sedan. Oh, happy day. Not planning to ever get a BMW again. No. Just no. That phase is out of my system.

Tom, glad things are moving along with your big move.

Good morning, Morning Thunder tea slowly getting on board. Our area received 3+ inches of precip, our first decent rain of the year. We are happy.

But mudslides elsewhere in CA have been very problematic with some fatalities, unfortunately. So we count our blessings.

Maybe wine tonight, maybe not. To be determined.

Cheers!

I'll try to report on which later...if I can.

Status: offline 		Day 11 of no drinking (I know) and no carbs and working out everyday. I thought that my legs would get tired at some point and I'd need to take a day off at some point. Maybe I wasn't in such bad shape after all?

It's fun getting creative with no carb dishes. Last night was what I call Eggplant Lasagna. Instead of pasta noodles I used eggplant with tomato sauce, ground turkey meat seasoned in garlic and basil and then layered with mozzarella and ricotta. It didn't suck. My wife liked it so much she took a BIG slice to work for lunch. Now for tonight???????? Market is up another 105 and am off to the gym in 15 minutes. Have a GREAT day everyone !!

Rick - Why? No wine + no carbs = no fun.

I workout so that i can eat and drink without compulsion or at least much. Consider Orange Theory https://www.orangetheoryfitness.com Their high intensity interval training will whip you into shape and really burn some calories, was good for over 900 today.

Larry,

The holidays always does me in. When I hit 225 lbs that was it I'm 6'1" but still?? WTF?? I need to be 210-212 maximum. I always do this New Year cleansing from January 1st until my birthday which is February 9th. My wife does it with me too and it's good for the body to take a break. I figure that now that I'm not working and working out everyday that the pounds will drop off. The no carb thing works great for me and it's just temporary. Trust me.

Status: offline 		Rick, continued best wishes on the no-carb plan. My Dear Husband leans toward paleo, with low carbs, and has for a few years. He feels better. It works for him; I think his blood sugar levels are more stable. The carbs we eat involve much less "white food" and more complex carbs. Seems to be healthier for both of us.

DonTime, how about more feedback on your tasting group?

Cheers w/whatever is your beverage of choice!

Hope y’all have a careful day in your own travels.

Didn't get the car off the street by 7:00AM as this is my stock market watching, trading time so I'm stuck here for the day. Will do a long walk around the neighborhood or hit the local canyon, horse trail. Have a great day !!

I've been to most of her local games over the last ten years, so a miss is tolerable. She skis with her ski team tomorrow, so I will hit the Sunday game in the afternoon, Monday 8am? I must be getting soft.
