Hey congrats Gramps! Wonderful news.
Thanks 82 -- I'm keeping it real and going by Papaw, which was what our family has always used...Gotta stick with those Kentucky traditions, even when exiled on the east coast.
Folks, my father-in-law survived the Kamikazes in WWII. He always told me that if he ever saw a Jap in real life, he would kill him.
People don't realize what price some folks paid in WWII. The Japanese were the most brutal bastards ever know in warfare. My father-in-law was very bright, but he could not handle 4 straight days of constant attack by the Kamikazes. They would give their life to kill you. That is sick. In WWII the most dangerous thing to a U.S. sailor was the god damned Kamikazes.
My father-in-laws best friend jumped overboard rather than have to face more Kamikazes. My father-in-law died hating anything that was Japanese.

Dad's battleship was topedoed last day of war by single diver bomber while anchored in Okinawa Harbor. Thing almost sunk. Killed some 25 sailors.
It is about damned time you showed back up, you long legged dude!
Yes he is. I was surprised the Sea Foam worked as well as it did. You could tell he was too.
A Full Moon Helped To Finally Free The Stuck Boat ‘Ever Given’ From The Suez Canal
Rising tides from a full Moon provided the Ever Given the breathing room it needed to escape from its stuck position in the Suez Canal, according to reports.www.forbes.com
Awright, awright... Go ahead and laugh...
I was listening to someone about digging a post hole at the right time of the moon. At that time a person I was fond of told me in one of his events; "If you dug a post hole at the wrong time of the moon there wouldn't be enough dirt to go back in the hole. He stated that, if the moon could control the ocean it could suck dirt out of a post hole too." That person; Jerry Clower
I first set a post with my grandfather when I was probably 8 or so. I asked him what we were going to do with all the extra dirt and he told me there wouldn't be enough to fill the hole. I was too smart for that. Ha, when he tamped it all in around the post it was not full. Imagine that, an old farmer knowing more than an 8 year old from the city.
I don't know who you are, but you sound bald.
I boycotted Taco Bell when they had that little dog in their commercials and they finally got rid of him. I boycotted Sonic because of those two dudes in the car making inane jokes. Haven't seen them in awhile. Might go back.
Let me know what you want me to fix next.
Congrats. Grand kids are wonderful.
Thanks Bert. My second. Yeah, its a great feeling - wish they didn't live 2/3 of the continent away -- Maryland to Kansas City...
Move back to Kentucky. That will shorten the distance!
Congrats. For my five grandkids (three are triplets) I am Papaw. That was what we called my grandfather on my mothers side and the only grandparent I knew. His wife died when I was 1. He was always telling jokes and whenever he would come over, he would come in and tell me some new jokes no matter what time it was. I get my sense of humor from him. He died when I was in Germany and I could not go one leave because we were in the middle of a yearly unit test in Grafenwhor. Really wanted to go to his funeral but, they would not let me.
There is always a solution to your problem
Congrats on the young'n! 2/3rds of North America is a long way indeed.
Good choice but you spelled Papa wrong. hahahaha
Mine were Papa on Dad's side and Poppy on Mom's.

I knew I'm good for something around here.
Seriously, welcome back. Great seeing you again.
My wife's parents only had four years of school between them......which is a testament to hard work.......they lived by the moon signs........there was talk somewhere on the Paddock about family cemeteries......my FIL would decide how many wheel barrows of dirt to keep to fill the grave back in by the moon sign.......they planted crops by the moon, litterally everything in their lives was planned around the moon signs......I plant my garden by using the signs....I have for years.......A Full Moon Helped To Finally Free The Stuck Boat ‘Ever Given’ From The Suez Canal

I love you like a brother but, awf, I'd use a shovel...😁
Delta CEO...open mouth, insert foot......just saw this.
'After Delta Air Lines’ CEO opposed a huge bill overhauling voting laws in a state that narrowly voted for President Biden in 2020, Georgia Republicans took a last-minute shot at the airline.
The Georgia state House passed a bill repealing a tax exemption on jet fuel in the final hours of the legislative session, targeted squarely at one of the state’s biggest corporations and the largest provider of flights into and out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.'
I started to go back and change that and just didn't........and your reply is what I like about this place.........
We talking a ménage à trois here?
PRAISE THE LORD. This is how you do it.
We all have a right to vote? Yes
I have a right to vote in your name? No
You have a right to vote in my name? No
How do we ENSURE that each person votes in his or her name only? That's racist.
Isn't life simple when you know the rules?

Ha ha, no. His aunt is my ex-wife's second cousin and our daughter's third cousin.
I had a permit, but when it was time to renew, I didn't bother since I don't need one in Ky, and I rarely carry one in other states, since I don't try to keep track of the laws. My rule of thumb used to be that if I was going south, I would keep one in the car, and if I were going north, I left it at home.
Morning Legionnaires!
Full day of work ahead, workout, house cleaning, grass cutting and yard work, pick up bags of salt from local Ace for water softener, Whew! I don't know if I can do it all in one day. Yes, yes I will. Fishing tomorrow because the weather is supposed to be nice so, I have to get it done. Weekends are for fishing and spending time with family.
God bless and have a good day and may those in pain find relief through Gods grace.
But, "It's comforting!" -R. J. Cogburn in Rooster Cogburn
Oh, I hope all's day turns out to be profitable for you and enjoyable to the point you know God is in control. Give him praise! God Bless you all...

Good morning, all. I suppose I am going to have to start mowing my daughter's yard, as well as mine. Luckily, her property is close enough that I can just drive the tractor there and not have to load it onto the trailer. Hope this is the last shot of cold weather until next October.

Unless you peel it and cook it correctly such as in a ......................casserole
Isn't the English language wonderful...
Like others...cold in the Buckeye State...low 20s. Rocketing up to the mid 40s, and then on to mid hi 60s for the foreseeable future.
A good, happy, safe, and peaceful Good Friday to all.
Not 10, but late March/April is the same around here. Have about 5 or 6 including my daughter in Georgia. Hard to believe how old she will be......she's still a baby to me.
A good, happy, safe, and peaceful Good Friday to all.
I don't do squash in either form. Those things look like something you would view under a microscope in a lab. Newest microbial virus to hit our world. Mask up everybody!🤧Sacrilege

In May I have 5 to contend with. Twins turning 29 and triplets turning 5.
My BOB (Big Ole Boy) is celebrating his birthday tomorrow.
I would LOVE IT if my daughter lived close enough to mow her grass. And I would. Her hubby has a type job where he's out of town about 3 weeks at a time, but when he comes home, he's home for a week. So I guess a lot of the manly/hubby chores are left to her and the kids.
I mowed my Mom's yard for years before she moved out of the house. Load the riding mower on to the trailer and drive 25 miles to mow it. Was a pain at times....but now that's she's gone I would love to have the opportunity again. Then I swapped tractors...got one much bigger with a much larger deck, and I couldn't get it on the trailer...so she had to go to a yard service. Which bothered me, but she found a guy that treated her almost as well as me and my brother. Guy charged little (large yard) and did all kinds of extras for her if she needed something else done while he was there...no extra charge. And would stop by if he was close to see if she needed anything even when he wasn't scheduled to mow. Bless him.
I don't think I like the tone of your typing young man... But, yes I'm bald. God made a few perfect people, the rest he covered with hair.
Don't make me drive approximately 2 hours to whip your ass. Anything past 2 hours I lose interest.
When I was a kid a neighbor would bring my Mom squash from his garden. She had no idea what to do with it so she would kindly thank him...it would sit...then in to the trash. Imagine a Ky. girl who doesn't know how to cook squash? Especially one who was a GREAT cook? Well I got married to a Bama girl and Mom was visiting not long after and my 'ex' fixed fried squash (I love it). Mom loved it and couldn't believe she had thrown it away for all those years.Sacrilege

The Mrs. now makes squash bread. I had never heard of it before. LOVE it too. Don't taste the squash at all....tastes like a moist cinnamon bread.
It just so happened that my Mother just lived about two blocks away, and I cut that grass for about 5 years, before she passed and we sold the house. The thing is, she had 2 1/2 acres to cut, and I have 4 acres that I mow. It was a lot of time on the tractor. My daughter's property won't be too bad. Once I get it trimmed, I will spray roundup around the fence line, and then I can just zip around the yard without getting off the tractor. Probably won't take more than 30 minutes.
