RIP Mrs. Ledford. I shared a house/dump on Maxwell Street behind Wildcat Lodge and Memorial Coliseum my junior year (1981). I passed Cawood twice on my way to class and both times he flashed that big smile. I spoke to him briefly once. I can't remember what was said but it really doesn't matter. A true Kentucky treasure.
Cool stuff. Amazing orator and voice. I know he was from the Harlan County area and hung out there a lot post-retirement.

Good Morning D & Happy 2sdee
 
Good morning! Leaving soon for an adventure with Dad. He asked me where we were going just now on the phone and I told him I had no idea. He said "good, that means we're going for a ride in the country then". He doesn't really care where we go as long as he gets to leave that facility for awhile.

Have a good day. See ya this afternoon.

41102, I'm expecting good news about Travis today. If you hear that he has committed, would you be kind enough to let us know? TIA
 
Afternoon. Tilled and weeded the garden. 87 outside. Fed the dogs, fish, no chickens yet. I could list everyone's name that posts here.....too many, but everyone, and taking BKo's lead, I am honored and privileged to have so many friends that each contributes to the D. Good place to be and listen and share, well, life. Wise people here in the D. That's all. Bless you all. FCC.

Sure will ymmot.
 
Speaking of pineapple. I had a side of pineapple rings on Father's Day with the pulled pork that were breaded in cinnamon and grilled. Very tasty. First time for me.
One of my coworkers made a cake for all of the fathers last Friday and normally makes a rum cake. We told her we wanted a Pineapple upside down cake made with rum. She accommodated putting in a cup of rum. It was very tasty but I told her it was missing one thing, the rest of the bottle to wash it down

The important part!
 
OK, back at my computer and all caught up.

What a day! Dad and I had a helluva time. Went to Bardstown to a new piddler mall that just opened. Bought a few nonessential items.

Came home, did dishes, then headed to the workshop to put bed liner on my speakers. Everything went well until I decided that two coats would be good enough for today. I went to the hose to wash off the brush and roller and nothing happened. No black water. I looked at my hands and said "what the hell". Went in and read the box and it explicitly says to not get this stuff on your skin. Says to wear latex gloves. I've got a huge box of latex gloves in my shop for just this sort of thing. Aaarrgghh!

So, I go in and put some paint thinner on a rag to get this stuff off my hands. Nope. Won't touch it. I read some more and it says that it is gasoline proof. What! I read a little further and it says to clean up with xylene or acetone. Who has that kind of stuff laying around? Well, I happen to have a can of acetone because I'm that kind of guy. Wouldn't clean it all off. Worked OK on the back of my hands but not on the business side.

It'll wear off sooner or later. Mostly later.

Since we've gone this far, let's talk about the biggest subject of the day. I went to a local dollar store to pick up a disposable paint pan to use on my project. When I entered the store, some chick looks at me and with enthusiasm says "Hey, how are you doing?" I tell her I'm doing fine, ask her how she's doing, and head out looking for a paint pan.

I grab the pan and head up to the front. She's in line in front of me. I stand there and she turns to me and calls me by my first name. I'm staring at her and don't know who she is. Then she tells me my last name. I tell her I'm sorry but I don't know who she is. Then, in front of God and everyone she says, "well, I guess you knew my name when we were having sex".

True to form for me, I asked her what kind of time frame were we talking about. She said 25 years ago because she was 45 now. I told her that I had been a lot of places in the last 25 years and that I was sorry I didn't remember her.

She paid and left and the cashier was checking out my paint pan. I said, " am I supposed to know you too?" She said she was 20 and knew everyone she had had sex with. I said "damn". She told me she was just joking and commented that 25 years was a long time. I said yes it was and then turned to the dude behind me that heard the whole thing and said " do I know you too"? He said he wasn't from here but it sounded like a helluva place.

I came back home and told my wife the story and she said that chick couldn't have been much if I didn't remember her. I said yeah, but she remembered me all this time. Wife says, "that's because it was 25 years ago. If it was last week she would have already forgotten". I laughed and then said "hey, that's not funny" she asked my why I laughed and I said "because it's true".

Now you know why my mind wasn't totally on the project at hand and I look like I work at a walnut factory.
 
I would have been tempted to ask her if there was something she could show me to refresh my memory. But maybe it was better just to get out without a dent in your paint pan.

Still, that's a scary story Ymmot. The prospect of forgetting my 'encounters' with women in my single days from the 70s-90s is the main reason I'm terrified of Alzheimer's. But then, I probably have a lot fewer memories to juggle...

QB makes a badazz PUSD cake. Haven't had one in awhile.
 
Good morning from Lakeland, FL. Currently 77°F. Looking at low-90s with 20% rain chances.

Yesterday, I experienced first-hand the fury of an American Pit Bull terrier. Last night around 7, while walking Riley, my brother's Pit Bull, her collar snapped as we passed a fence with other dogs. She took off after them. Her lips and nose turned blood-red with rage. I'd only seen that once before in life. Anyway, a nice, attractive young lady helped put the leash around her neck and walked with us back to little brother's. Scary as hell.

I got nothing else. Y'all behave.
