I got out 3 years before him then. Now I feel old because Dan is now a Granddad.
Field of Dreams coming on now...
Howdy D-League brutal heat here today. Took a walk at 6 pm and was swiftly drenched in sweat. It was 98 here at that hour.
Just finished a job I wasn’t looking forward to- moving a huge ancient, dead refrigerator out my basement and up a steep slope where the county junk haulers can get it. Damn thing had to weigh 250 pounds - maybe more.
Here’s a pro tip - get help.
But if you can’t get help do it alone rather than enlisting your wife to help guide the thing - unless maybe we’re talking Bev.
I took my time, removed all the doors on my furnace room and basement bed room ( it fit through the door frames by a half an inch. And without getting tools I didn’t have, or just hacksawing the damn thing, I couldn’t remove the fridge door) shoved all the furniture and book cases out of the way. I managed to get the think on a dolly, and wedged the thing around to slip through the inside door frames and to the sliding door going outside - and the thing was closed! My wife said she’d seen a fox in the afternoon and didn’t want to leave it open in case some critter ran in. Anyway, that aside, mission accomplished and my back will be fine by Wednesday.

I say pound it enough times with a sledge hammer until it fits anywhere.
"Daddy...there's a man out there on your lawn..."
"I would have played for food money..."
"We're keeping this field...you bet your ass we are..."
Had a new frig brought in yesterday from Lowe's and paid $18.00 to have the other one taken away by them. MIL was here talking about us keeping it and selling it. I ask her if it did not sell would she help me take it away. She just looked at me as if I were crazy so, I said "It goes today". She smirked then turned away.
This morning's haul. Yes, those are paintings and a reproduction print leaning against the fence in front of the truck.

Yes. Guy down the street gave them away. I've transitioned from salvaging and scavenging to fine art collector.
Ray Kinsella: So what do you want now?
Terence Mann: I want them to stop looking to me for answers, begging me to speak again, write again, be a leader. I want them to start thinking for themselves. I want my privacy.
Ray Kinsella: No, I mean, what do you WANT? [gestures to the concession stand they're in front of]
Terence Mann: Oh. Dog and a beer.

I wish I'd had that option, Warrior. But we're re-doing the area in the basement and with the kids gone have no use for another fridge. Short of buying a new one, it was move it myself or pay a moving company.
What am I doin' here?
A bald eagle and a red fox fighting over a rabbit. IMO the eagle has the advantage.

Hope this Monday is a good one for you all

Nope, still have to work. Really want to retire but, the numbers still won't work. Turn 62 August 1st and could draw early SS but, daughter still in school (8th grade this year) will probably wait to see if she wants to go to college in 5 years.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F. Expecting +100°F for a high. Cold front expected and should drop highs back into the 90s. I believe Middlesboro, KY and much of KY should see lows in the 50s. Nice.
We'll check back later. Behave.

I have to work too and I turn 50 on August 2. So at least 15 more years for me, probably more. I have a 14 yr old starting high school this year. I’m not going to have much SS myself as I’ve spent most of my kids’ younger years at home
Oh my Lord, what a horrible thing. Our society has way too many stories like this. Actually one is to many. Our forefathers had a way of handling matters like this. They would take action and if they had to go to court the defense of "he needed killing" was enough for the judge.
Good Monday morning D-League
Thanks to all for of the birthday wishes. It was a very special one as the family surprised me with an annual pass over at the Space Center. We enjoyed the day going through the history of the space program and reliving the early days. I remember the day Russia sent a dog and then a man into space and it scared us all to death. The Soviet Union was in control of the world and they were not the good guys. But we got on track and blew them out of the water.
It is going to be a typical Gulf Coast day down here. It is currently 73° and we may hit 90°. There is a little tropical depression action that will bring us rain and some thunderstorms. 8 people were hit by lightning on Clearwater Beach yesterday and one went into cardiac arrest. Fortunately an ICU registered nurse was close by and did CPR on him. He is now in critical condition in intensive care. Prayers he comes through. Don't' mess around with lighting.
Have a great day all. I will leave you with this picture I took yesterday during the moon landing presentation at the Space Center. It is so much fun seeing the equipment and rockets they used. Proud to be an American

This is the actual launch control room as it was on the day of the moon launch in July of 1969. All the equipment, computers, etc as they were on that day. But this is the crazy thing. You are holding in your hand an Iphone that has more capability and "power" than all of the computers in this room combined. And these computers put a man on the moon. Think about that for a minute.
Morning D. Greetings from the shanty.
