Spaghetti and cheezy garlic bread for lunch. Guess what's for dinner?

Had my name on the marker for longest drive yesterday on #17. GPS had it at 282 yards. The guy that went to get the prize was a hoss and at least 30 years younger than I am. Prize was a Weber grill. Wouldn't have really come in handy at my house. Never understood why they would give away a driver for the long drive or a putter for the longest putt. If you win either you've got good equipment.

Enjoy it while you can. I used to be super long, and started losing a little at about 56-57. Got a lot worse at 60, and now at 67, I am a shadow of what I used to be. Still enjoy it, though. As long as I can still score halfway decent, I'll keep playing.

Now this is my kind of railroad engine. I can smell that coal smoke blowing out of her chimney right now. When I was a boy planes, trains and automobiles were what life was all about. That and your pony.

I'm with ya brother! Cinders and smoke!...but I like the Narrow Gauge style myself.

Hard to believe Kevin Knox is just turning 20. He was a mere baby when he played for our Cats.

Happy Birthday to FCC. I’m only a few behind you.

Time and its passing has been on my mind during all the 50th anniversaries of the Moon landing, Chappaquiddick, Manson Murders, Woodstock, and so on. I was a fairly young kid then, but all that is so vivid in my memory.

What is remarkable to me is that almost as much time has passed since 1969, as between the end of World War 1 in late 1918 and the Moon Landing. That makes me feel old.

No question. The most historic stretch of events in my lifetime. People forget that hurricane Camille made landfall on the last day of Woodstock. Still the second most powerful hurricane to hit the U.S. while killing 248. We vacationed in Biloxi the following year because they were so desperate for tourists. Dad got a great deal. You could still see the devastation.

Happy Birthday, FCC. I turned 67 back in January, and I feel the same way.

Because y'all are grasshoppers.

The owner of that house refused to sell.

Reminds me of the "Old Prophet" in "For a Few Dollars More."

Our Sadie would, but our Summer sometimes refuses. Always a challenge.

Good Monday morning D League

Woke up to 80° temperature with a high today of 86° and a 50% chance of rain. It will hit the low 90's inland with a heat index in the high 90's. Today is the first day of school for the local schools and the sheriff says every school in our county has armed guards. Football is in the news. I am so looking forward to kick off.

Lots to do today, watch out for school buses, take care all.

Good morning D from the Berg. I was going to work on the deck today, doing some more staining but it is raining here so I am just going to take it easy and piddle!

We have a real busy week this week and it started last night at church, we had an ice cream supper and a movie. Mrs. M made peanut butter ice cream (tastes just like frozen PB fudge) and watched Breakthrough.If you get a chance watch it. The only problem I had was it just hit to close to home, with my brother passing in the same way back in 67. Still to this day I have some unanswered questions that I have not gotten any answers to and I may never have them. We have a family reunion this weekend so maybe an answer!
We have a G.R.O.W. team meeting tomorrow night, we are supposed to go visit my friend just to let him know we are praying for him and his family. Wed. church, Thursday we start our Bible study ( THE LORDS SUPPER) this time. Dr. visits in O'boro Wednesday and Friday and family reuion Saturday.

Happy belated birthday wishes FCC, I turned 68 back in June. Seems like I am on a fast moving train (Steam Engine of course) and it is just not making any stops!

Ok ya'll have a great and safe day. Probablly be lurking around most of the day! I started staining Saturday with the rafters on our metal roof, just to see how it was going to look, the natural cedar is going to look good. Mrs. M is happy so everybody is happy!!!

Only about six more weeks of Phoenix heat. It may not be but this has felt like the hottest summer since I've been here. Not a single monsoon yet. I can't remember the last time we got more than a brief sprinkle.

One question for the ALL KNOWING D! I know I will get an answer to this one because there are to many country boys on here!

We were working at church Thursday doing some landscaping when I saw a vine growing on one of the hedges, so I take some cutters and go in after it. I drag it out it out and on it was what I always called paw-paw's. My friend said no those are not paw-paw's grow on trees and when they are ripe they taste like bananas. Which one of us was right? I do know, we used to have some good fights with paw-paws (summer snowballs) when we were young!!!! One up side the head stung a bit!!!!

Pawpaws Asimina triloba are shrublike small trees. I've heard folks call milkweed vines Pawpaws and we did use their seed pods for projectiles as kids.

Don must be busy so here's a Linky for the 2-8-2-2 explanation.
