Good evening! Went and got Dad today and brought him out to my house again to help with the porch. Cooked up a beef tenderloin in the sous vide for a couple of hours and then put a crust on it in the egg. He was very happy with it.
Found out I was going to have to cut each and every board I bought for this project. Got the back wall put together and now I just need two people to help me stand it up. After I get it in place I'll install the concrete anchors. I think I'm on about Rev. VIII now. I'll be glad when it's done but it's fun watching a project come together.
I caught two significant screw ups today before they became a problem. Makes me wonder how many I missed.
I'm tired.

Evenin' D! Still looking at replacing all my surge protectors because they're way past their life expectancy. I may pull the plug and buy a lifer. Costs 10 times as much but it might be worth it for the safety and peace of mind. Of course nothing prevents a direct hit. If I get one of those then I'm either calling my insurance company or calling the fire department. Most surges come from within the house.
Damn rabbits ate my parsley plants.

Y looks like you can get a wall built faster than Rep. or Dem. good job!
Did you know that MONY actually stood for "Mutual of New York"?
Section 12 of rule 810 KAR1:016. Disqualification occurs when a leading horse or any other horse in a race swerves or is ridden to either side so as to interfere with, intimidate, or impede any other horse or jockey."
I'm going to choose to believe that rule is intended as a penalty for purposely trying to gain an advantage rather than what we saw in the Derby. "so as to" makes a good case for my side. I believe that if the rule were intended to apply to all situations, regardless of intent, it would have been worded differently.
I built it but it's still on the ground. It's a very bad floor at the moment.
I actually knew that and know that not many people do. Story I read said dude wrote the song while in NY and that sign was flashing outside the window of the hotel he was staying in.

That's right! That's the story behind the song.
Yeah, I saw a picture of it.
Played two softball games last night and lost both (again). Don't know why the league put us in the upper level. We have three guys 50 or older and one 61 (me). Plus a couple of 40 year olds with some youngsters mixed in. We lead both games early and faltered in the end. I usually hit pretty well but went 1 for 5 with a walk. If I had hit my normal we win the second game and we were playing the best team in the league (Ft. Sill's team).

Never a truer wildling.
Father a Rich, Mother a Vincent
. . . with specific intent.
Known to bite her childen when angry. She would have eaten their enemies if it were required. That big ole ape included. And she knew how to shoot.
Liked snakes cause they ate the rats she feared.
I bet. I've zero doubt there was a wildling in your ecos as well. If we didn't haul them in, I'd be promised a fishhead for dinner.
Our storms started at 4:00 this morning and continues.Good morning from ATX. Currently 69°F and drying out. More lovely rain and not-so lovely thunderstorms expected later today.

What do you call a monkey walking in a mine field?
A Baboom!
Good morning D.
Thanks for the kind words. She's a happy girl, they're in Cancun this week.
DJ is ok, just a lot of soreness. He made the front page of the county newspaper.
Back to work... Everybody is asking if I've recovered from the wedding...I'm trying to recover from having to go back to work.
I used to not like Coconut creme pie...I got older, I like it now.

Good morning D from the Berg! I am putting final touches on the bedroom. Slept like a baby given Benadryl last! Mrs. M said she was talking to me when I laid down but I do not remember anything! Got the yard mowed, I guess the fresh air and exercise helped to!!! Did I mention how much I hate painting! I have a little time now so I hope it's fishing and metal detecting! I hope everyone has a great day and stay safe!!!! Please say a prayer today for my son's M-I-L she is having surgery today, they found breast cancer a few weeks ago.
Prayer's sent. Get well soon.
- Good Morning, All.
- 70º in Johns Creek.
- I mug of Dark Magic down.

- Over and out.
Prayers from Me too cordmaker!
Thanks RRK1, I have some family that lives on Spann Lane that needs your prayers too!
Spann Lane is in the Western part of GODS' country too!!!!They will receive my prayers also!
Going to Pulmonary Dr. today. Breathing test and office visit, I need to do well on this test. Beautiful Day sun shining light breeze but expected High of 86*. All I got everyone have a good day.
The Faltering Farts of the D-League.
Boy o boy, that looks good.
For those who live in the western part of GODS' country, I worked on I-24 way back in 1971, I worked on the bridge there by the Oaks Mall? Is that the mall by 24? I rented a trailer on down west of there for a while, is there a small community called Grahamville? I am getting older and I just don't remember all the little details, plus I really liked living in Paducah at that time,. I lived with my aunt and uncle after my buddy quit and came back home and me and my uncle went fishing below Barkly when ever he wasn't working for ICRR as a conductor.

I know this is no place for politics but I ran across this today and I'm going to toss it out anyway.
Fellow Patriots, the 2020 election for the presidency AND congress will undoubtedly be, by far, the most important election in our country’s history. Listening to the liberal democrats that have declared for the office of president sends cold chills down my spine. They are the most un- American conglomeration of Americans I have ever seen. I have more respect for an avowed foreign terrorist than I do for this gaggle of domestic terrorist. If one of these idiots should get elected and either house of congress be controlled by the democrats, get ready for a tyrannical government and the first people they will come after will be we conservatives. I pray this doesn’t happen , BUT, if it should , be ready for war. A loss at the polls leaves only one alternative, force. Of that I’m sure because our guns will be the first thing they come after and speaking for myself, I will never , under any circumstances, willingly turn my weapons over to the government. In short, if there’s ever a time that we need to get out the vote, 2020 is it.

I drove I-24 often during 1981-83 between Nashville and Hopkinsville.
100 Oaks Mall, maybe? Closer to I-65 in Nashville.
ATXC this bridge I worked on was just west of Paducah.

There's also a Kentucky Oaks Mall in Paducah.
That sounds more like it ATXC
ATXC since I have been on the D-League I have heard and seen more about Austin TX than I have in my whole life!
WC my best friend called and sent me some pictures yesterday he had gone fishing and caught about 20 bass on a Rapala Shad Rap. That's one of his favorites other than the WP.
I have a couple of Rapala's. I have 3 tackle box's full of lures of all kinds. Found the 8" stick worms to be my go to so far. Will see how well the WP does again this weekend.
Thank you D-League for your prayers!!! Just got a text from my D-I-L saying the surgery went good and the lymph nodes were cancer free!!!! Praise GOD!!!
Went to the eye doctor. I am waiting for the drops to wear off so I can mow. I don't have to go back for a year. Good news. I really hate have my eyes dilated.
Good news Cordmaker. Cancer in lymph nodes is bad, bad.
