Good morning! I woke up sore from my shoulders to my toes. Head doesn't hurt because I didn't use it too much yesterday.
I'm going back to sleep as soon as this ibuprofen kicks in.

Good Thursday Morning D League
We are expecting a nice day with temperatures from 75° to 84°. We dodged Named Storm Barry which passed by on it's way to the Gulf. Weather girl said it may strengthen to a hurricane.as it heads up to New Orleans.
Meanwhile I have a lot to do around here and best get busy. A few more cups of coffee and I will be rarein' to go. Trust all have a great day.

Good morning D-League. Oppressive, muggy, ugly, damp day in DC.
The living-like-a-hobo fun of having the civilizing influence of my wife and daughter out of the country is wearing thin. My son, who in his defense is working 12-14 hour days, has reverted into a cave dwelling savage -- though I've never seen a cave as filthy as his room. And he's rubbing off on me more than the opposite.
And I aggravated my bum knee running to catch the subway this morning. The day will get better, I'm sure.
Horrible stuff above about the toddlers left in cars. About ten years ago, the Washington Post did a massive story called Fatal Distraction (I'd link it but all their stuff is behind a pay wall.) Their writer spent a year going all over America interviewing people who'd done this -- I think it must have been nearly 20 he talked with. And after reading the whole thing, the efforts to make me sympathetic failed. All I was left with is a puzzle about the human brain that I already had.
Even worse - and I know this story was linked in a thread on this board -- the grandfather who dangled the 1.5 year old out the 11-story window of a cruise ship early this week - and basically dropped the kid. What kind of imbecile lets a kid within ten feet of an open window above a 110-foot drop?

I attest. And Sherry can attest!Couldn’t like your post hon due to content. but I will comment
I don’t know how the HELL anyone could forget their child in a car
And telling people to put something “valuable” in the back seat to remind you? Seriously???????
What is more valuable and precious than your child?
Please forgive the language...I’m usually quite mild with my words as several here can attest
The cat is in their territory. I don't blame them.
Rome was not built in a day, nor will Ymmot's porch be built in a week!
Unwelcomed the cat would not stand a chance. That is an impressive dog.Yeah, she has been with us longer than the rest and is the the first line of defense. I have been giving her a lot of attention tonight to keep her calm. The picture below shows what kind of baby she is.
But the grass is mowed. Mine must be mowed today unless I can talk my self out of it.Morning D.

77.5°F already. It got up to 92°F yesterday and looks to be hot again today.
You all stay cool.

I see where the President signed an EO to assist in the treatment of kidney disease which is something I welcome. My father died of kidney failure and this disease hits close to home. Daddy was a fighter and was fortunate to have a doctor who set him up with home treatment. It fit daddy's independent style because he wanted to be in control, even his dialysis.
I understand part of the executive order will focus on more home treatment which is something I support. In the last month or so of his life daddy had to go to the clinic for his dialysis treatment and he hated every second of it. He could not stand being tied down with tubes and dependent on someone for his basic care. Once when I was with him he said he did not want to be hooked up to any tubes on his last days on earth and made me promise I would not allow it. I agreed and am thankful to say I was able to see that his wish was granted. No tubes and no breathing machine. Just a peaceful pass to the other side of the river. .

Manager brought in doughnuts this morning. Life is good.
I can attest as well. I never heard her say anything untoward while you and I were getting ice for our fine bourbons.
Been outside working for the last two hours. Sweaty. Had to use a hammer to put all the staples in the rest of the way. Cheapo electric stapler wouldn't drive them all the way in. Luckily there are only a couple hundred of them.
Heading to the hardware store to pick up some nails and also some springs for the doors. I'm not going to use latches. I'll make a couple of handles for the outside to make it easier to open on the way in, but on the way out I'll just push.
Guess I've cooled off enough. Back to the grind.
Are there still 7-11 stores?
As I get ready to fire up the grill and throw a few on. Relax Fido
Afternoon. Kinda quiet here in the City./ Doing a little cleanup as me and the boys have had it to ourselves since Monday. Mom and little bit return tomorrow.
Hope all is well. FCC.

Hey Chief, done any preaching lately? FCC.
Another shot I got from the D&SNGRR...formerly the D&RGW...
I'll accept that because I have an exquisite ass. Hopefully if someone sees my ass they will just say "not a bad ass at all" and go on about their day. My nose is kind of crooked though and I think that is more important.

I am the dude on the right; however, I usually wear a big hat.
You nailed it.
That is my main source of exercise. What ever I do the ice maker will screw me over.
Yeah, sounds about right.
Austin is younger than I am.
shorter too! I figured Austin was on the right, he has those walkin lookin for coins legs..
Got plenty done today and then a friend showed up with beer at the same time a storm rolled through. Not much after that.
From my perspective you got more done late than early.
Hey Possum's have feelings...
My God it pisses me off when other posters rag on Kentucky regions. Check out the Covington post. Hate that. We're all Kentuckians/UK fans. Damn I love this state. Screw the snobs.
BTW. ALL UK fans are equal regardless of where they come from.

Agreed! Eastern KY gets poked fun of all the time. It actually pisses me off because that's where my Dad and his family was from. My Grandfather worked for the L&N RR and they moved from Lee Co to Breathitt Co to Fayette. Anyway, I get a bit "ALIEN" when people poke fun of the mountain people. It's a beautiful part of the state and if you make a friend from there then you've made a friend for life.
Pissed me off, too. Our family still owns a house in SE KY (sale pending). .
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F. Expected high of 97°F. Still very humid.
TGIF!
Y'all behave.
