As my wife says, if it won't start, there must be something wrong with the starter. Makes sense.

I never knew my paternal grandparents (or hardly any of his family) nor my maternal grandpa. Only my maternal grandma and she had zero interest in her grandkids.
We were and still are a very tight knit family. My mother's father died at 67 but my grandmother on mama's side died at 86. Grandpa on daddy's side died at 86 and was breaking horses the Friday before he died on Sunday. His wife, my grandmother died at 90. My mother lived to be 95 and my wife's mother is alive at age 95 living in Berea, KY.
Both sides of my grandparents were from the country and instilled a work ethic. My maternal grandmother did not believe in play. It was work, work, work and if she found you with nothing to do she would bring you a basket of green beans to string or some corn to husk. Her mother was a German immigrant who came to America in the 1850's and it was work or starve in those days.
Daddy's side was different. They encouraged play, especially sports with a ball and riding horses. Now they grew a huge garden and had livestock so there was work to do but once your chores were over somebody would bring a bat and ball and the cow pasture became a baseball diamond. Or you could shoot hoops on the basket nailed to the barn door. As long as you pretended to be playing for the UK Wildcats. That was mandatory. And if it was getting dark, some uncle or aunt would play some music and we would all sing along. Usually gospel songs and bluegrass. Then at 5:30 in the morning it would start all over.
Today all of my living cousins are still in touch and we have family reunions. We are scattered from the East Coast to the West Coast but our blood line continues and we are still family.
I've got it on my calendar.
Sorry to hear about your father Rooster. That's always a sad time. My wife recently went through it. Be prepared for a delayed response. She was initially fine, then about a week later it hit her.
I slipped over to the National Mall today and enjoyed the 40 or so tented exhibits celebrating the Moon Landing-plus-50. I'm not a raging science geek so a lot of the stuff was aimed at other people, but cool stuff not only on the Moon missions but on the unmanned Mars missions and on future NASA projects. I know you all enjoy talking about growing your 'maters. Well I talked with a NASA scientist who told me they were going to start growing tomatoes in the space station this fall, in some sort of plasticized synthetic soil, as I understood it. They are already growing lettuce in space. I told the guy they were a Poland China away from a BLT, but he didn't get it. Anyway, one of those times when despite the BS, Washington is a good place to live.

It’s HOT°. So enjoy that icy mug (or 4) of ice cold beer and celebrate summertime.
I am now the proud owner of an air fryer. Good looking UPS chick brought it to me. Answered the door in a pair of boxer shorts and nothing else. Still had a lively conversation with her because when you get caught without pants the best thing to do is to act like you're fully dressed.
My wife ordered it for me. Funny how it wasn't long ago that she told me I didn't need to buy any more cooking gadgets. She said she bought it for my outdoor kitchen. Kinda sad because now I can't think of anything to cook with that I don't have. Except for a pizza oven! That's right, I don't have one. I'll fix that someday.

It's so hot I saw a dog chasing a cat and they were both walking. FCC.
It's so hot the local water park is now a sauna park! Man that was so bad!!
The last time I remember heat like this was when we went to Fort Hood. When we landed the pilot announced that it was 117 degrees, don't know if that was true or not but dang it was hot!! Then we got into the field and the dust was ankle deep and hot! Summers at Fort Hood was turrible!
You have a very sweet wife.
I'm playing golf tomorrow at 1300. It should be hot enough by then. My phone says the heat index here is supposed to be 110°. Ouch! I've got a cool towel and a soaker hat that I think will get me through the round. I'll be hydrating all morning as hard as I can go.
Roger. 5 years of my career were spent stationed at Fort Hood. Miserable summers. You never get used to it.
I was 7 years old at the time. It's been one helluva 50 years since.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Morning D. It's hot here in the Berg. I have already had a cup of coffee, needed a warmup so I took it outside! Y be careful out there on the course.
Mrs. M and I have two wild grandsons for today, that's all I am going to say, should rest good tonight!!!
Ya'll be safe today and have a good one!

ATC you know how you just remember certain things about somewhere you have been? I just remember the hot dust! It was ankle deep and hot!
But, they flew us down there one year for a "three day weekend" in February one year, everybody thought this is going to be nice and warm, like to have froze our a$$ off! Luckily I took some warm gear with me, but side-effects of that is the ones of us who did take warm gear had to do the outside work that had to be done!
Morning D. Greetings from the shanty.
More coffee......................................................

Morning D-Leaguers.
Already 75.2°F and 87% humidity. I think that predicts a hot humid day. I plan to mow before ten o'clock as soon as I am sure the neighbors are up and around.
Though about Rooster's dad a lot last night. It will be a rough week for him and his family.

more heat, more humidity, more everything except "humility".
We are headed over to the Cape tomorrow and will go through the Space Center. I haven't been since the kids were little so I am anxious to check it out for all the new stuff that has been added. . My daughter gave me tickets for a space launch that was suppose to go tomorrow (Sunday) but it has been postponed to Wednesday. Looking forward to the blast off.I was 7 years old at the time. It's been one helluva 50 years since.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.
Good Morning D

Trust all are staying cool as I notice there is an old fashioned heat wave across most of America. The type of heat our grandparents use to talk about. It hasn't been too bad down here because of the Gulf. We get some heat and humidity but there is a breeze. Currently it is 75° and we should get close to .90°. The sun will be out.
When I was a boy a buddy of mine, Buster and I would play in the hot sun and fields and it would be so hot the tar on the blacktop road would melt. You could see it boil from the heat and bubble up. I never saw Buster with a pair of shoes on in my life and he had the toughest feet a boy could have. Ole Buster would walk across the tar boiling road and tar would get between his toes and coat the bottom of his feet. He would just laugh and keep on truckin'. Lots of good times in the heat of the day.
