I love the morning radio around here. You get some crazy stuff. They have a segment between 6:00 and 6:30 where they interview the local sheriff. Well last night two guys got into an argument over which is best a Ford or a Chevy. It became heated and a woman came running outside where they were arguing, I guess to break it up. Well shots started firing and she was hit 5 times. It is best to keep some things to yourself. You don't argue politics or Ford v Chevy

I found a video which shows a Ford winning this one.

 
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.

I bet there were a bunch of one-eyed men back in those days. Maybe those hats they wore were a safety device.
 
Outta here and on my way to get Dad. Might bring him back to my house and entertain him with watching me pressure wash the patio. I can fire us up something to eat while I work. He said he doesn't care what we do just as long as he gets out of the home for awhile, so I think I'll take him up on that. Two birds, one stone.

I was exhausted last night. Not enough sleep the night before, golf in 20mph wind for 4 hours, loading, unloading, and stacking about 1200lbs of lumber, seems to have worn me out. Went to sleep at 2100 last night and didn't wake up until 0600 this morning. Feel great now though and ready to do it all again. I say that because I don't really have to do it all again.
 
Morning D, coffee in hand. Still on vacation.
The wedding was supposed to be outside Saturday....don't think that's gonna happen now. Forecast calls for a wet day. Daughter is bummed, but you cant control the weather...she's just gotta roll with it. Turn a negative into beer...I mean positive!
Been busy...made a 4 x 8 raised garden bed, had 2 loads of gravel brought in for the driveway. I still have a pile of it I need to spread around. Mowed, push mowed & trimmed the yard, still trying to get a trailer licensed along with a few other honey do's.
Still need to clean out fish pond and put front brakes on truck....
Just got hit with a thunderstorm...rain today for awhile.
No golf this week.

Looks & sounds as if all is going well here in D town.

PS that was a big (insert expletive) snake!

Best of luck with the Derby Day wedding!
 
I really need to buy some new surge protectors for my equipment. They recommend replacing every 2-3 years and I'm well beyond that. Most are probably just power strips now with very little or no protection. It's not going to be cheap since I need around 60 outlets in total.
 
Good morning D! We it looks like we are getting ready to get some down pours!!! Weather said we are going to get three rounds today! They said the first round at 12 but it's here! Mrs. M said the other day I think we need to paint the bedroom, so guess what I am getting ready to do this weekend. I am NOT going to complain since I retired she has been great as to not come up with a honey-you-better-do list! She has allowed me to do what I like doing like metal detecting and fishing, I have an angel!!!!! It took 12 years But GOD answered a prayer!!!! Someone told me she was crazy for getting involved with a man raising 3 children on his own, BUT she did and it was the BEST thing that happened to my family and me!!!! I prayed to GOD to send me someone that would love my children as much as me and HE answered my prayers!!!! I really think she loves my kids and now the grandkids more than me!!! But I will take that!!! LOL Ya'll have a great and safe day!!!! Looks like E'Ville going to get hit hard with rain today around 3"!

Well...got the pond cleaned out. 2 wheelbarrow loads of leaves & muck. Had to fish out a few goldfish & a frog outta the net a few times. Glad thats over...if I ever see a snake in there itll be the last time I do that.
Trying to get motivated to do the brakes. I do have cold beer...that should help.

Speaking of beer .... hey ymmot, what golf course do you usually play? Just curious...

Yes they are flying down from Pensacola to Ft Lauderdale. I have seen them in person also and they are fantastic

 
Good day today! Wen't down and got Dad this morning. Asked him what he wanted to do today and he said he didn't care. I said good, then you can come out to my house and watch me clean off the patio. Stopped off on the way and picked us up a 1.2lb T-bone to eat for lunch. Put it in the sous vide for 2 hours at 130° and fried it up in a cast iron skillet out on my cook table. Of course I let him have the good side. He said it was more tender than the bread they give him at the home.

I got the patio cleaned off and laid out the bases for the 4x4's. 12x24 is a pretty good sized room.

Best part of the day was when he told me that he enjoyed today more than any day we went to the piddler malls. I told him I was glad to hear that because when I get this thing done we'll be coming out here more often. He can't get inside my house with his power chair but I'm making the doors to the lanai big enough for him to get in.

..... the way to any man's heart is through his stomach! Even if he is your old man!
 
Heckuva afternoon. Bus driver would not let some nutjob on the bus because he had no fare. Nutjob chases bus down at stoplight and shatters door window. Nutjob returns to transit center. Our bus returns to transit center. Cops arrest nutjob. We change buses after a 20 minute wait. Rain started coming down.

What a mess.

A woman who thinks the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, has her sights set too high.

Bert, I would like to come down to visit sometime between 2 weeks from today until 3 weeks from today. Can't be a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Has to be a day trip only because I'm in charge for a week or 10 days. My birthday is the 23rd but I can't remember whether or not I take her to the airport in the morning or afternoon. She's already told me at least twice so now I can't ask again. I'll find out with context clues when the time gets closer.

At least the nut job didn't blast away with an Uzi. Look on the sunny side
 
My first thought was who left the door open at the funny farm? But it's really no laughing matter. Nutjobs are appearing everywhere as aggressive panhandlers have morphed into thieves. Today, I saw a location where sqatters tore down a fence for access. It's just a matter of time until they find a body or there is a fire or both.

Good morning D. Saw the Nats beat the Cards last night after sitting out a two-hour rain delay. Always fun to be at the ballpark with friends.

Now I'm getting on the road to Lexington to pick up my son. Haven't checked the weather report. Hoping for a nice, easy 8-hour run - then another hour to my parents' house north of Lex.

I would love it.
 
Good morning! Been some weather last night and into this morning. Lightening, thunder, rain, you know the drill.

Slept almost 5 hours. Penalty to pay for sleeping a straight 9 hours the night before.

Oaks day and we'll be betting em early. Hope to pick up a few nuggets about tomorrow from the horse racing channel. It's their job. We only watch that channel 2 days per year. That's plenty.

Have a good day and attempt to stay dry.
