Just got home again. Might head out to the shop in a bit to see what I can get into.
Decided a couple of days ago to go on the low carb diet for awhile. I'm at 210 right now and originally wanted to just drop back to 200. Thinking now that 185 would be a better number.
Wife cooked breakfast this morning with my new diet in mind. 2 eggs fried, 4 sausage patties, 4 slices of thick cut bacon, several pieces of country ham fried. I've still got some pulled pork and baby back ribs for later. I think I might be dining on whole hog today.

Good morning from Lakeland, FL. Currently 77°F and heading into the high-80s. Crazy humid.
My flight out of Tampa departs at 7 PM. Little brother should be here around 2 PM. Always good to be early.
Y'all behave.

Morning D. Back from a 7-mile run. Humidity already brutal in the DC-region.
If I can get my son out of bed, hope to aqueeze in another hike on the old C&O Canal. Went last week and saw scores of Great Blue Herons and other fisher birds and the largest Alligator Snapping Turtle I've seen in many years.

Good morning all. 72°⇨ 85° and rain today.
Good morning. Coffee is bringing me around slowly but surely. I anticipate a lazy day ahead.

Decided to go into work this morning...probably should've went to church instead.
Not sure what's going to happen this afternoon. Hopefully nothing.
Might do some "work" around the house for an hour...but that's it.
Bko with the new stove...

That reminds me Bert, I have to procure some potassium nitrate before I can make corned beef again. It's hard to find.
Afternoon D
Kids will be back soon...apparently a good time was had by all. Glad to know it. Meant a lot to my youngest to spend time with his big brother and sister in law.
Today is my mother’s 70th birthday. She is the most amazing woman I’ve ever known. She was one of 7 kids; her father was career army and her mom was a stay at home. She grew up with very little yet she managed to put herself through nursing school, all the while working and helping care for her siblings. Mom became a nurse in 68. Back then all was needed was an associates degree. After my brother was born in 75, she went back to school to get her bachelors. The bio-pop was a trucker so he was gone most of the time (Home on weekends) yet she worked full time as a critical care nurse and went to college and ended up graduating magma cum laud.
After my sister was born in 83, the bio-pop decided he didn’t want to be a husband and father anymore. He cleared out the bank accounts, ran up the credit cards and borrowed the max against their life insurance policies, then disappeared. Mom was left with three kids (ages 13, 8 and 1 month), and all this debt. Back then nurses didn’t get paid anywhere near what they were worth. To this day I will never know how she managed to hold everything together, including not losing our house. But she did it. I remember her working double shifts 3-4 days a week. I had to grow up fast because she needed me.
A couple of years later she went into education...starting with clinical a training for new nurses and moved up through the various areas. She went back to school when she was 63 to get her MBA and is now Manager of Drug Research and Policy for UofL Hospital (no worries, she wears her blue for game days). She’s the lady who oversees drug trials for the Brown Cancer Center and auto-immune diseases.
Mom married the man I now call my daddy in 89. He’s pretty amazing himself. He took on three kids and adopted all of us, even me although I was married and had a child of my own at the time.
Unfortunately they both have some major health issues now. Dad has idiopathic neural myopathy and no longer walks at all. He doesn’t have much sensation below the waist anymore. Mom has RA and degenerative discs. Yet she still cares for him and their home, plus still works full time, with little help. Both have blood pressure issues along with various other minor health problems.
My mother has always been so incredibly supportive of all of us. There has never been doubt that she loves us and will do anything for us.
I know this is a long read, but it’s still such a brief synopsis of this incredible woman’s life. I just wanted to share with you guys how blessed I am to have the mother I do

Mom BKO sounds like my kind of girl. God bless her.
Afternoon, all. Hot in Charleston again. Heat advisory issued. When I set my thermostat at 75 and it still cycles on, it’s hot out.
I saw that. Jacksonville, FL is supposed to have an ungodly heat index.
Stay in the cool Ghost.
Hi y'all.
Wish I would've brought back the 70s from Chicago this week. Headed to Tampa later this week so I'll pay for it then.

Hello! Welcome to the party.
Hello! Welcome to the party.
Happy to be here. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on UK boards. Figured it was time to start kicking the can around again.
Well you've picked a fine place to start. We kick a lot of cans here.
Welcome!!
Hoping based on your name you’re female? These are a great group of guys but it would be nice to have another woman posting
This thread is the best place to start if you’re easing back into posting. We call it a safe place. Your opinion is valued, and, even if different, totally respected.
Welcome aboard.
I am. Haha. I know we’re usually few and far between on sports boards. So, I feel your pain.
Spectacular mother.
Welcome, nice lady.
BKO and her Mother. Beverly my wife is the youngest of 9 siblings, she grew up as Father was Military (Army) all over the States and Europe. She liked a semester in college but Murray didn't accept all her credits. She went to school for a year instead of a semester. She came out and got a wonderful job, in the meantime I got my first railroad job. Nothing gonna stop us now!
According to the Twilight Zone that will make you a kid again.
Funny thing about long reads, I have been accused in other threads to not be able to comprehend or have the ability to read them by a few posters because I call for brevity. What they don't understand, is some of them ramble on about nothing or are rehashing information that has been repeated ad nauseam. That and sometimes I just don't have the time. But, when a post/story is worth reading like this one was, I actually enjoy reading them.
Your mother seems to be a wonderful woman and is also blessed to have a daughter like you.
