Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F, cloudy and wet. We received some beautiful cooling rain earlier this morning and should remain out of the 100s today.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Trying to decide if it is Saturday or Sunday.

I hadn't been awake long when I saw that and it made me think.

I might go out back and get some things done today. If you're the kind of person who deals in absolutes, then I will definitely go to the backyard again.

Hope everyone has a great day!
 
Looks to be about 19" and 5lbs 4oz. Should fry up nicely.
Wife filleted it and the other 2 as well. Had been too hot last three weeks but this morning cooled a little and I saw an opening, Supposed to go back 100 plus degree again middle of this week through the next weekend. Probably wait for another cooling trend before going back out.
 
'61 was a good year. Don, Sawnee and I graduated high school that year. Bad in that there was a mini-recession in late '61 and early '62 and I couldn't find a job anywhere.
Chief, this date in 1961 (58 years ago) I was trying to walk on at Ole Miss. Whaley Hall took some electric clippers to my blond flattop as initiation.
 
Clogged bathtub AGAIN. Ugh! Old plumbing, old problems. I replaced most of the old pipes in the house but to solve this problem would be a mess and quite expensive. I love the older houses but they have their drawbacks. Maybe time to put a crowbar in the ol' wallet and fork out the cash.

I loved Ole Miss football in those days. Was Johnny Vaught head coach? I remember a game at Stoll Field. They took the field in single line and it looked like the entire state of Mississippi was on that team. Must have been way over 100 players on that traveling squad. Man were they good, ranked number one or pretty close to it. .

Johnny Vaught, yep, head-coach. My high-school coach was Ralph McRight. He was a team-mate of Paul Bryant at Alabama.

I was walking on the streets of Detroit, looking for a job - any job. I did wash dishes for one day in downtown Detroit. When they closed they wanted me to mop the floor. "Mop the floor? I'm a dishwasher, not a janitor!" Fired on the spot. Had to walk five miles home. Stopped at a barber shop and got a haircut. After the haircut the barber asked me if I wanted him to massage my scalp. I said "Sure, if you want to." I got up to pay him and he wanted a couple of extra bucks for that scalp massage. "I didn't ask you for that massage. You asked me. I'm not paying you for that." And I didn't. Boy, was I a green 18 year old back then.

You could have been a busboy by now,
 
We got back from Nolin Lake earlier today. Nice weekend. Unfortunately the skies didn't cooperate so I never bothered to pull out the scopes to cruise the Universe. Plus the mosquitoes were out looking for blood. But, had a good time on the water. Johnny Law (Water Patrol) was keeping an eye out, that's for sure.

My cousin lives on Nolin Lake near Anneta. I love visiting 2x per year. Always fun.
 
Good morning D League

It is Monday morning and currently 77° with a high today of 86° we have a 20% chance of showers/. My phone app say there is a pattern change is coming but it didn't say what it may be. So I will keep looking out of the window and checking the clouds in the sky. The weather is what it is.

I have a ton of yard work to do and have been putting it off but I need to get to work. The temperatures are fine for working outside so I need to get motivated.
I am excited about football season coming soon. Our pastor encouraged us in the service yesterday to wear out school colors or favorite NFL jersey. I will be wearing my Blue and White. The pastor is my cousin but he is a Florida fan. He comes from mama's side of the family.

Trust all have a nice day.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and clear. Possibility for popup showers this afternoon.

Is there anything on earth better than oysters? I ain't seen it. September is the start of oyster season in Florida and my favorites are from Apalachicola.Bay. Last year my county seeded a lot of beds in the Gulf and they should be ready in another year or two. Oysters are something I can not get enough of. We would harvest a bushel at a time and go through them in one setting. Thank the Lord for the oyster.
 
68.0°F and foggy as all get out. I must mow the grass today, but my bald cypress tree is loaded with water droplets from the fog. The sun is now starting to burn the fog off.

Friday Ymmot, Rooster and OldEvilleCat came to visit. We ate steak, salad and sweet taters. Yesterday I decided to eat part of the salad. I got it out and all it had in it was romaine lettuce. So Friday I serveed only romaine lettuce. The onion, radish et.al. were neatly stored in containers in the frig. Never got tossed in. No one, not even Sherry, complained. Alcohol is a good lubricant for overlooking errors! :)

Don't get too hot.
 
  • Good Morning, Ladies and Distinguished Gentlemen.
  • 73º in Johns Creek. Overcast. IFR for sure.
  • I fell Saturday. Sore back today. Mitch McConnell mimic. I hate it when I fall.
  • The Dark Magic is very good. I tried the Shuffle Bean, but it's just not strong enough for my taste buds.
  • #1 came by yesterday and cleaned my pond pump. The waterfall is better. That boy is so good to me.
  • He will be a new daddy on 12/20. First child. He is 27. We'll be great grandparents.
  • Y'all have a great and safe day.
  • As you were. Carry on.
