Just got done paying it forward one more time. My Mom gave me an Atmos stock, then I gave my children one share. Now as we started having grandchildren I started giving each one a share when they were born. Just sent my 9th transfer this morning. I figure if they will just leave it alone and pay into it a little they may have a few shares we they get older!
 
@Sawnee Cat:

Keep your old azz out of that river. That big SOB could eat you. That is the biggest snake that I have ever seen in the USA.
Eyes wide open. I was chased out of the Withlachoochee many years ago. Barely made it.

The person who took this picture said it was a cottonmouth and if it is it is the biggest I have seen. Ever. I can't confirm it is but it sure does move the way a cottonmouth moves in water. Head up and body skimming above the surface. It has a thick body which makes it buoyant. This snake has all of that and one thing for sure it is big. A very big water snake.

Here is one in motion on the water

Dang that thing gives me the hebbie - jebbies! That's Berg slang for the shivers!!!!
 
Good morning from Vegas. Currently 62F, windy and sunny. I am eating breakfast at Steak n Shake located inside Hooters Hotel. My flight departs at 3:05 pm PST today.

I plan on walking to the airport, suitcase in tow. You read that correctly. It is only 1.5 miles. I love challenges of the sort. Worried about my damn hat getting blown off my head.

Anyways. ...

Between 1993 and 1999, I gifted my daughter around 80 shares of Atmos Energy stock, which grew to over 250 shares via the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. I turned it over to her in 2012. She blew through it in a matter of weeks. Still sickens me.

ATO is a great company. Gifting shares is an excellent idea.

I have never sold any of mine, just gave away to family. Mine is also in the reinvestment plan. I just know it's there if I need it.

Cotton mouth water moccasin. They kill a man. People say they will run from you but notice this one does just the opposite. I have never seen a cotton mouth run from anything and I have seen more than my share of them. It is the snake I fear "respect" the most.
Killed one that bit my lure at Rattler last year and have another one on video that I chased off from my stringer of bass.

This big boy was spotted on the river yesterday. Keep your eyes open

I Hate them and if I had a shotgun rifle or hand gun he would sleep with the fish. I was about 10 years old my older cousin took me to KY Lake fishing. Trees out over the water and all of the sudden thud as a 4 ft cotton mouth joined us in the rear of the boat. My cousin took a boat paddle and smacked him out of the boat. Moved but we had been catching crappie.

today's eye surgery went great..next up, a re-scheduled camera pill endoscopy. They had to re-schedule because they could not sinc camera with receiver.
No outdoor activity's for a couple of days. Don't want anything gtting into my eye
Did get garden planted yesterday, can't wait to have some good ol blt's with garden fresh maters
Dems still acting the fools with all this craziness..
anybody try out the new cracker barrel fried chicken?

not much else shakin..
 
ymmot, we used the polycarbonate on part of our deck, I got mine at Lowes, we used the smoke gray color. It gave some shade but the afternoon sun was hot!

I was looking at the white. Was going to go with steel and paint it white. I don't know how much it will matter though, I have two oak trees that will block most of the sun in the summer.
 
Shot an 83 today and came very close to getting a double eagle. 569yd par 5 and rolled just past the hole to about 4 feet. Might be the best 3 wood I've ever hit. Killt it. Wind assisted.

Got a bunch of lumber today. Will try and pressure wash the patio tomorrow for the last time. Have already identified a couple of new problems today. They're just potential solutions.
 
I'm going to go get the wood for the porch today. Looks like this is happening faster than I thought. Oh well, there's nothing I can do now but roll along with it.

Might be going with polycarbonate corrugated roofing. It's white and should reflect sunlight and it's also very light and easy to manipulate. Con- it's not steel. Anyone have any experience?
Safety 1st, Sharp tools. Measure twice.

I assume you made it ok. I checked out the route when I took a shuttle on Monday, not bad. Had a great time hanging out and celebrating Willy4UK’s wedding.

Yes, thanks. Sidewalk appears to end near the right curve to terminal 1, but it simply detours right. Walk past a fenced-in lot and there's a marked crossing. Keep going past the monument (behind it) and one has arrived. The trek required roughly 45 minutes from Howard Johnson to Terminal 1. I've read the reason for a sidewalk all the way to the terminal is because some broke individuals complained after they lost the butts gambling and were posing a danger by walking out on the street.

Glad you arrived back okay. I also had a wonderful time. Definitely a great trip.

I tried it a couple of weeks ago. I didn't like it at all.
 
Apparently that front which hit Vegas a couple days ago may also come here.
That happens fairly frequently when a low pressure trough extends deep toward equatorial latitudes. Southern winds here in the southwest frequently "train" into tornados once reaching the plains and lose the disruptive elevational impact of western mountains and continental divide on the Coriolis.
 
Don't forget Plenty Otoole.

Bond: Good shot
Bad guy: I didn't know there was a pool down there


I hated to hear that Omaha Beach was scratched(loved the name). So who are you picking to win the Derby? I'm going with Improbable.

I was planning on making a trifecta key around Omaha Beach. My wife has been watching past races and studying for the last week, she'll be my go to for who to bet.
 
Anyone ever see the DI starring Jack Webb? Great movie and a must see for the older gents here. Younger people could do themselves a favor and watch it too.
Agree warrior-cat. Jack Webb was perfect for the role as a Drill Instructor. He had the voice and the stature for it. Plus he was a great actor. Jack Webb was once married to Julie London.

Good morning D League

Nice morning with a current temperature of 72° and some rain may come around noon. Our afternoon temperature will be 88° The humidity is increasing and you can feel it in the air. Sweat boy, sweat.

One month away from hurricane season. There is something going on in the tropics right now but it will fizzle out before it gets here. So if we can get some rain this afternoon I will take it. I want it dry for Saturday though. Big rally and BBQ on a cattle ranch I don't want to miss.

If you are at Epcot today look in the sky for the Blue Angels. They are on their way to an air show in South Florida and will pass over Disney and do a little flip or two. Have a great day all.
