Good morning! Haven't been up too long and so far all I know is that I'm hungry. Very hungry.

Supposed to have some thunderstorms today. Never heard any thunder yesterday but it rained off and on all day.

See ya later. I'm off to get some food and then it's to the workshop to get loud and dirty.

Congrats. Where's my see-gar?

 

[cordmaker]

Yessir. We moved to Lexington in 1964.

Sorry if I have already discussed this with you, but part my family is from there, they live on Spann Lane off Husband Rd. Worked for the ICRR. I have lots of great memories there. I lived there in 72 for the summer working on the interstate by the mall.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 81°F. Expecting a 103°F high today.

Today is LBJ's birthday, a state holiday, but I elected to work. Should receive comp time.

Then today would be a great day for Mrs. M loves peanut butter, bacon and banana sammmiches!

 

[starchief5]

Mr. Chief how far a walk is it from where you park to the top?

It's not bad. Coupla hunnerd yards from parking lot to Pinnacle overlook on a paved and not steep walkway.

Missed you by 8 years. I did American Graffiti in Paducah. Nice town to grow up in. One of my family works at an air reduction company on Husband Road.

Good morning D, still raining here off and on, so no deck work.

Yesterday was better and the days will get better, but I will miss our golf cart chats we used to have.

No work out side so I have put a pot of beans on with garlic, onions and bacon mixed in and it smells really good! Also will make a couple of pans of sour cream cornbread to go along with it. I will take some of it to a couple elderly ladies that are mom's best friends.

Prayers to all of us who are hurting in body and spirit!

One thing about having surgeries is your friends and some family members ask hey Cord did your hip, shoulders, neck and eyes feel this way before you had surgery? My doctor and good friend were talking in the office one day and I was telling him that my friend said that I probably had, before I could say anything else he said , Cord your best friends are my worst enemy, are you going to listen to them or me?
Ya'll have a good one! Y be careful around those power tools, stay focused! Nearly lost a thumb one time because I just got to lax thinking aw I can shape this little piece of wood, next thing I knew the shaper grabbed the piece of wood and I had a bleeding thumb with just a small cut across it!

Yea I liked Paducah, had a great time. My uncle and I fished every weekend except one a month while I did my NG duty. Caught lots of catfish and crappie during the time I lived there! We may be outlaws and not even know it! Root beer!

I've hiked from Shawanee (Bristol Rd near Virginia-Tennessee state line) to the Pinnacle and then down to KFC in Middlesboro about 8 years ago during the summer. Wonderful hike.

ATX Austin made our local paper Sunday talking about the homeless situation there. I had druther read about all the great places ya'll have to eat at there though!

 

[cordmaker]

Don't you just hate it when you have supper (or any meal) all planned out only to walk to the fridge to get the eggs or anything and there is NOT ANY! Now I have to drag my butt back out to get some eggs! Going to blame Mrs. M since she at work, but it's really my fault!

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Just beautiful scenery. Makes me want to come home to stay.

I did that in 2000. Moved here from Jacksonville, FL when I retired. I ain't never regretted it one little bit.

Yes, it is bad here. Some mornings I see homeless people sleeping all over the place while walking to the bus stop. Homeless situation downtown is much worse. I'll walk downtown in about 2 hours and bet some homeless bum asks me for money.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Finally, a break in the 100 plus degree weather. Yesterday around 106° and today 78° expected. Fishing will be more comfortable this weekend.

Kentucky does not have those large mouth bass like Oklahoma and Texas. Plus when you move back here I am going to have a class for the bass on how to avoid Warrior Cat.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

It is 76.6°F and overcast. We are supposed to have thunder storms this afternoon and then good weather the rest of the week. I hope so. I need my yard killed so I can sow seed in late September.

You all have a good day. I have physical therapy at 1:30 pm. I hope they can help out with my back. I am getting tired of being a cripple.

Don't tell him there is loose change on the streets and at a car wash in Austin. Keep that a secret.

They read about all about that change that you find outside of that bar and at the car wash.

And wouldn't you know it. I walk downtown and some gal tries bumming one dollar and a cigarette. Me no smoke and have no money.

Never fails.

I don't really have anything to add for today other than it's Tuesday. Tomorrow will be Wednesday, the next day will be Thursday...then finally...FINALLY...it will be Friday, and the History Channel will be running Ancient Aliens ALL day!

When you see them approaching you with that certain look on their face (trying to make eye-to-eye contact), preempt them by quickly asking if they can spare some change.

I love those Yorkies.

I'll try that in the future.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Hope all is well with the D-League. I like Chief's approach to shutting down street beggars. As I pass about a dozen between my office and the DC subway, I'll get a chance to try it out.

I had a couple smug middle class hippies -- the kind who look like they made it to 30 on daddy's dime and were in no hurry to leave that plateau -- stop me on the street today with the line, "Would you eat Rhinoceras meat?"

They were apparently fund raising for some lefty lash-up out to save Rhinos and other African beasties from hunters, or maybe they were from PETA. My response: "I've eaten camel and zebra, but no one ever offered me rhino. Do you have some?" Silence.

That may have been my only small victory today, but at least I wasn't shut out.

 

[wildcatdonf]

And congratulations on the big car payments.

 

[wildcatdonf]

I had a guy bum me once for $70.00 so he could pay his rent. Uuuuh, nossir,

Immersive sound via Dolby Atmos. If I had the room I might think about it. 12 speakers seems like overkill but I bet it sounds great.

Wow
Just realized how long it’s been since I’ve been on here
Been crazy busy between work, youngest starting high school, the new babies in their way and all the other stuff I’m trying to keep up with
Have missed you all and hope you’re well
Hugs

All is right in The League. Bev is back. We missed you.

 

[starchief5]

Anybody played marbles (we called them marvels)?

I carried them in my pocket and was always looking for someone to play with. In the other pocket was my pocket knife

Ha, I was going to say something to you when I posted. Glad to see you stop by!

Same here. I had a bunch of marbles at one time. Broke my heart when I heard how much some of them were worth. Those and the old black and white baseball cards that made such a cool sound in my bicycle spokes. Woe is me.
