Good morning. It’s a beautiful cool morning here in Upper Michigan. Our long travel day went well and we arrived on time. Had a delicious dinner and was watching the Detroit Lions ball game with B-In-Law and woke up this morning in their recliner. Nothing beats a long recliner nap. Now enjoying a freshly ground coffee overlooking their yard hoping for a deer sighting. Had several deer sightings yesterday during our drive from Travers City. @grapau27Happy Anniversary @superomaHappy Birthday Have a great day and thanks for the reports a fellow post. B.

Getting ready to head to airport. Flight time changes so already off to new schedules. Have a great day and I’ll catch up later. B.

Good morning. First things first. @kazu congratulations on the many offers. @TiogaCruiser Laura a hearty Bon Voyage! I received some good news yesterday from my lawn service. They are fitting me into a new schedule so I don’t have to find a new service. That’s a relief as they are the best lawn service we have ever had. Can’t put packing off anymore. Tomorrow’s flight is at 06:00. Hour layover in Atlanta and a 4,5 hour layover in Detroit before final leg to Traverse City. Going to be a long day. We were in Port Chalmers earlier this year and wanted to do the train but it was not running on the day we were there. Maybe next time. Do enjoy the day and thank you for the featured reports and all of the post. Again @MISTER 67 Hope to see you back here soon. Bruce

Please continue posting. There are many of us who cruise on other lines. Some have never been on a Hal cruise. Would like you to reconsider. if not it’s been great. Thank you for your service. Bruce🫡

@RedneckBob Hey Bob, Saw this pontoon at local marina. You should have told me that you were in the area.

Good morning. We received a little rain last night that was needed. Monday is laundry day so can you sense my enthusiasm over that? Starting to prepare for our upcoming trip to East Jordan. My brother-in-law is big into barbershop music. So Saturday we will drive down to Travers City to watch his group perform. Lawn crew is arriving shortly and it will be their last time providing service. They are the best I have ever had so I’ll have to find a new service. @TiogaCruiser Have a great cruise. It’s been a long time since we were on the South America/Antartica cruise with you. We will repeat that cruise and more this coming year. Bon Voyage! Have a great week everyone. Thanks for the reports and post. B.

Bon Voyage!🛳️🍾

Your on a roll today.

Good Morning! @Mr. Boston Happy Birthday. A short one as we are getting ready for church. Enjoyed a grilled BBQ Chicken dinner last night with corn on the cob. We were in Lima last January for the second time and will revisit next January on our South America cruise. Enjoy your day and thanks for the featured reports and post. B.

@0106 Bon Voyage! 🛳🍾

Stayed up late and slept late. Just another day here with no plans as of now. It’s a beautiful day and currently ninety degrees with a chance of a thunderstorm this afternoon. Yesterday we treated ourselves to pedicures so we both have smooth happy feet. Time for another cup of coffee and reading your post. Have a great day. B.

They don’t build them like they used to.

Good morning. No surprise but it will be another hot day. Looking forward to visiting relatives in East Jordan, Michigan next Wednesday and cooler days. Haven’t been on a roller coaster in years and have no desire to ever ride one again. May go down to Destin for lunch today. With school starting it may be a little less crowded.🤞 Thanks to all of you who make the Daily a part of our every day routine. Have a great weekend. B. PS: Do you have a fridge like this? One in my garage is still chilling.

Good morning. We have done our civic duty and voted. Apparently many folks are taking advantage of early voting as the polls were quite busy. Maybe after next Tuesday we can get a short reprieve from political ads. Tonight is church group so need to do some preparation for that. Other then that we are pretty much caught up for the weeks task. When I read what some of you are going through I feel blessed. Our day is coming but so far life has been kind. So thanks for the reports and post. B.

In our thoughts and prayers.🙏

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Looking forward your perceptions. Norway is a great cruising experience.

Good morning. It’s going to be another hot day. It’s August and we have learned to deal with it here in Florida. Currently 79 so not too bad for any outside chores. Again not much on our agenda. Sue has been busy planning excursions for our January South America cruise. She does a great job and it makes for great vacations. Have been to today’s port of call several times. The last time we stayed on aboard and enjoyed the ship. As has been the case lately not much happening here so will just say thanks for the FR and post. B.

Good morning. The cable conduits were laid without issues. Not so for next door neighbor who lost power for a couple of hours but our power company was quick to respond. Just some menial chores today and other than that another day in the neighborhood. School started yesterday so the arrival of the school bus is again my morning alarm clock. We will probably go to vote this morning and get that out of the way. Some good choices and a couple not so good IMO. Thanks for the reports and post. B.

Good morning. Get this posted before we loose internet or power. New fiber optic cable is being installed in neighborhood and I have four workers digging holes in front of house between easement and sidewalk. There have been many complaints of gas lines, electric, internet lines being damaged. What they don’t flag and mark is our sprinkler heads and pipes for our yard irrigation. No matter before the days out I will have at least four areas in yard with dirt spots and no grass. Cox Cable now has competition with this new company offering cheaper service. It’s Monday so laundry day and some day this week we are going to the polls to early vote. @richwmnHappy Birthday! @Haljo1935Bon Voyage I remember milk being delivered to house and in my early years it was delivered by horse and wagon. Yup! Old as dirt. Have a great week folks and thanks for reports and post. Bruce

Enjoy your well deserved cruise. Bon Voyage!

Thank you Debby. Made me hungry.

Morning folks. Dawn is breaking and first impression is this going to be another gray day. We have been to today’s port a couple of times. Would love to have a Greek salad for lunch. Greece has such wonderful produce. Need to start getting ready for church. We are going shopping this afternoon for some things we need around the house. Other than that no big plans. Thanks for reports and post.

Not everyone will get this. “One of these days Alice, Bam Boom!”

Bon Voyage!🛳🍾

Good morning! Picked up our neighbors at the airport last night. They were too tired to dine with us so we drove them home then went out for Mexican dinner. Hit the spot. Woke up this morning thinking I had to get ready for church. What a treat when I came to my senses that it was Saturday. Rolled over and slept another hour. @RMLincolnSafe travels and Bon Voyage! @Tbay Happy Birthday! @luvteaching Bon Voyage! @MISTER 67 Bon Voyage! Thanks Rich for the Fleet Report. I would have no idea where my relatives were sailing today without it. When we were on a lengthy land and cruise trip in South America I got tired of drinking Pisco Sours and finally said just give me the Pisco Brandy without the froth and egg whites. Have a great weekend everyone. Ours should be quiet. Steak on the grill and a fine bottle of red will be today’s highlight. Bruce
