I've been hearing ads about this Babel app. Supposedly you can start speaking another language quickly. I said what the hell. For 44 bucks a year I'll give Italian a try. Before too long I'll be able to say quotes like "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes", "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse", and "Revenge is a dish best served cold".

Got home, yard mowed, cold beer & some relaxing Blues. Tab Benoit, from Loozyana, is a favorite of mine.

I was walking down my drive way to get the mail, neighbor-cousin was driving by & slows down says her sons bull got outta the pen.(he lives close by also) She starts to describe it....I stop her & say If it walks up in the yard Im pretty sure I'll know what it is...

 

[ymmot31]

I wasn't insinuating that you were dumbing out. Sometimes I get in too much of a hurry to get it done. Or measure incorrectly, Or count a quarter inch as a half inch. Bullshit like that.

Oh I dumbed out. I even made a test cut first on a piece of scrap to make sure it was going to be right.

 

[ymmot31]

Got home today and there was a box and a bag on the front porch. This is not unusual because my wife orders stuff. And more stuff. When she got home she told me that I had some packages. I opened them up and it was 6 back packs. All the same color. Total was $534. Of course neither of us ordered them and she has called the store already and had the card shut down.

After that she tells me that maybe a cat walked on her computer and ordered them. I immediately thought of Steve Martin and told her the next thing we know there will be $10,000 worth of cat toys and you can't take em back because they've got spit all over them.

Yeah, but what if it is someone else's bull that escapes at the same time and wanders up in your yard? How would you know?

Fair point ... I was willing to take that chance though

Weather has lightened up a bit at night for a few days so, hitting the ponds tomorrow morning in search of the great monster bass that continues to elude me. Captain Ahab's got nothing on me.

Good stuff. Back in 1980 on our first date I took my Grizzly to see this guy. Boy was I hooked. I mean surprised. Kind of like giving a girl you just met a Kasey Chambers CD. Beware

 

[_Rooster]

Been golfing. Hurt my Achilles on very first hole. Fours times it’s hurt so bad made me sick. A little better but being very ginger. Going to ice it. I can bend foot back toward me but forward or downhill kills me. Felt it pop twice. Was afraid I tore it but I don't think so. Getting old and too fat.

Thinking is over you're injured. Go see a competent orthopedic surgeon and tell him what happened.
I tore some ligaments playing basketball during the dark ages and limped around for about 40 years waiting for technology to catch up. Today, it has. I walk without a limp. Don't wait. IF tendon and/or ligament repair is required you need surgery within a week or so to repair before trama healing starts. I'm not a Doctor and as far as I know neither or you. A no regret strategy is appropriate until YOU know.

Appreciate the advice. Sounds like good advice too.

Evening, the D. Tired. Day 6 of Operation Anna. She is watching Daniel Tiger on PBS Kids. I’m gearing up for Savannah. I will post pix when we get back home

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F. Looking at a another +100°F day compared to others this past week.

No beer for me last night. Trying to cut back. Feel much better.

Taking a walk here soon. More chores on the agenda for the day.

Y'all behave.

Morning D. Greetings from the shanty.


More coffee.............................

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning from Weeki Wachee, FL. Currently 75 degrees with a high today of 88 degrees. As usual we can expect a 4:00 thunderstorm that should last about 23 minutes, enough to cool us off and not interrupt the golf game.

Just got back from a bike ride and noticed high school football players working out in pads and helmets. What better thing to do on a July morning, right? Football in Florida is in the air. I can smell it.

I have a lot of work to do today getting my citrus trees nourished and tightening up the fences around them to keep out the deer. You give them a crack and they will destroy a young citrus tree in a minute. So it is constant work but when those tangerines, kumquats, grapefruit and oranges ripen on a cool winter's morning it is worth it. Fresh squeezed juice by the lanai and a hot cup of coffee makes a man feel good.

Have you lost any trees to citrus greening?

Have you lost any trees to citrus greening?

No we haven't had that problem in my area that I know of. My tangerine trees had a copper deficiency last crop but spraying seems to have taken care of that. The other trees are young and healthy. I take care of them with fertilizer and insect control but deer and small animals cause the biggest head ache. My land backs up to a wildlife preserve so every varmint known to man comes out of those swamps.

My grandfather had 150 acres of groves and I can tell you raising citrus is not easy. You have every bug in Florida after you and you are at the mercy of mother nature and the weather. During the winter grandpa would keep piles of wood in the groves ready to light on fire if the temperature dropped below 30 degrees.

• Good Morning, D-Leagueanites.
• 70º in Johns Creek. Beautiful day going. Blue sky.
• This Dark Magic really tastes good.
• Lola got a $65 clip yesterday. Now you can tell just how tiny a 10 pounder is. Tiny.
• Very quiet here in the backyard. Just the crows being noisey and getting after the figs.
• Time for more DM. QB's up.
• Y'all be safe today. Have fun.
• My cousin's recipe for his steak marinade: 1 cup of Dale's low sodum, 2 cups of Italian dressing and 2 cups of Worchestershire or Lea and Perins. Marinade for an hour or so. Let me know what you think.
• Carry on.

God I I hate cotton mouths. I came very close to leaving this world because of cotton mouths. Four of us were fishing on the Withlacoochee River and pulled close to the bank when a buddy ask me to check for the depth. We had a long cane pole on the boat and I leaned over put the pole in the water expecting to hit bottom in a foot or two. But I hit a deep hole and my momentum caused me to go over board into the water. Unknown to me cotton mouths were hanging from cypress trees on the bank and when I hit the water, they hit the water. I didn't see it but my buddies started yelling "cotton mouths" and they say I came out of that water, walked on water for about 10 feet and jumped into the boat as they were beating the snakes with a paddle. We were at least 10 miles from any civilization and I would have been a dead man had they got to me. It gives me cold sweats thinking about it 40 years later. I hate cotton mouths.

 

[ymmot31]

Good morning folks! Got me about 9 hours last night. Something woke me up at 5 am but I went right back to sleep.

Coffee grinder is a welcome noise this morning.

Looks like I'll be going shopping with my wife today. Somehow I've managed to dodge that bullet for a couple of weeks.

Hurry up and give me Bahama Basketball.

This morning's haul. Huge LIKE on the quarter.

I lived on a lake in Jacksonville, FL and my wife once freekeh out one Sunday afternoon when she spotted one in the den. The pool skimmer helped us get him where we could kill him. He had venom all over the skimmer from striking it and getting his fangs caught in it. We boiled the skimmer.

Good morning all. 71° on this gorgeous Saturday morning with a high of 81° and sunny today. 5 ½ hours of driving and walking all day at King's Island definitely had me sleeping in late this morning. It was well worth it, as the kids had a great time. My 4 year old was asleep before we cleared the parking lot. The oldest one now wants to go to Cedar Point and ride Top Thrill Dragster.

I can handle a rattlesnake because at least you get a warning. But a cotton mouth is in a different league. I have had a lot of snakes in the garage and a few got into the house but never a cotton mouth. I am afraid I would take my shot gun to it if I found one there and blow away my house. The sight of one makes me want to kill, kill, kill

Took Lola by the Vet to weigh her. She remembered that they give shots in there. She was a little nervous. Saw a 2 year old Maltese. He weighs 5.5 pounds. Lola weighed 10 pounds. She is about grown.
