Taking a break from mowing. Never ending it seems.

Yesterday would've been Dad's 83rd bday...time rolls on.
No military experience here, but I do admire & respect the heck out of'em.

Guess it's common for all of us, but I wish that when I was younger I would have been a bit wiser and stopped to 'smell the roses'. Never asked my Dad any about his military service, etc. Just heard a few stories growing up plus he didn't talk about it. Maybe didn't want to.

Anyway, last week was the 76th anniversary of one of his Bronze Stars. Did something that prevented potentially many, many casualties/deaths when all around him had been killed.

The older I get, the more I miss him, and the more I'm amazed by what he made out of his life (I'll leave it there). And wish that if still alive, he would be proud of me as I am of him.

My dad would have been 119 years old on March 8th of this year. He has been gone for 45 years.

Dogwoods in full bloom yesterday at Mammoth Cave National Park.

Has Covid closed National Parks? Since my oldest son moved to Nashville we'll probably do a long weekend trip to see him this Summer, and would probably stop for a day or two in Cave City. The Mrs has never been to Mammoth Cave.

Mine would be 99 in May. Sad thing is, is that he was able to retire early....58 I think....and died a few months before his 63rd birthday. Way too young.

I do know it has closed the parks in my subdivision the squirly dasturbs don't have the sense God gave a goose. My grandson loves those swings we have too. have to take him outside of the subdivision to swing. $98.00 bucks a month for nothing... Oh the HOA told me they can't rent out the clubhouse and they have lost revenue... (Note: here in Ole Northern "Virginny" words mean things. They did not state lost money, they stated lost revenue. there is a difference.)

To give you an idea my HOA bylaws in San Antonio are 24 pages, in Summerville, SC 26 pages.... Here in litigious Lorton, 798 599 pages (798 pages is the entire onboarding package for new homeowners in the subdivision.). Think I am kidding, I am not...

My dad died 31 years ago and would have been 105. Born in 1916. I think about him everyday

Certain portions at various parks. For example, most of Cumberland Gap National Park has been closed off completely from what I understand. Hence all the bear sightings in residential areas around Harrogate, Shawanee and Middlesboro. I believe the above pic was taken on the drive in to the main parking area at Mammoth Cave NP.

What? 798 pages of HOA bylaws? Is that legal

This is becoming more common and it's a wonderful connection with life.

Sir and all, I apologize the 798 pages was all my HOA initial documents. The actual by-laws are 599 pages. The PDF file is 31.3MB. (I pulled it up for accuracy.)

The Mrs. gets a mushroom permit every year from the county. They give out a limited number.
She doesn't go 'mushroom hunting' but has a sister who is a nut over it. Goes as many times as she can...uses her own permit then ours. Many years will go up to Michigan for a 'mushroom hunting weekend'.
Me....never been 'mushroom hunting'....but have mowed, dug up, etc many over the years on the property. Wouldn't know a good one from a bad one.

What do they say about a Trump 2024 flag flying on the front of the house? 😊

I sure hope eggs are very expensive during that time.... (That is what I say...)(I hope spray paint is a controlled substance by that time...)(TP is already a commodity...)

For many years/ decades I would not eat a mushroom. My theory you ask? (Go ahead and ask.) "There might be only one in a million a toadstool but I might eat the millionth one.."

Now for the last several years I cannot eat enough BUT BUT BUT still no S-Car-Gots...

I had to take time to take a picture and upload it to my facebook page...

Edit: part of the reason they call it the Swamp!!!

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

I'll have to check the family history records to see how many pages the HOA was when our house was built (in the country at the time) in 1857. 😄

Bet your HOA doesn't allow a concrete horse trough, next to the road, in your front yard so the horses could be watered on the way to town? Still there.....Mrs uses it as a giant flower trough (bubblegum petunias) every year....get a bunch of good comments every Summer.

Thanks, He lived life his way, and any day fishing was better than any day at work. Working another 20 years after his retirement @ 62. No particular reason given.

Thunder Over Louisville will be this Saturday but.... it will be different. What a shock! To prevent crowds they'll be shooting the fireworks off in 5 undisclosed locations throughout the city. Not the riverfront. Rooftops? Fields? Seems kind of hard to hide but we'll see.

Thunder Over Louisville is back but has a new plan for 2021. Here's what to know

Thunder Over Louisville is back for 2021, but like everything else during the pandemic, it will look different. Here's what to know about the show.

I bet one of the locations is at the top of Iroquois Park. They close it at night and during the week anyway.

I was wrong this morning! I am playing golf tomorrow and Thursday. Friday is the day I'm not playing. Yet...

Shot a 78 today and could have easily done better. Could have easierly done worse too.

Looking forward to Saturday!

Dogwoods in full bloom yesterday at Mammoth Cave National Park.

The Director and myself took the birds down the road for training and the red buds and dogwoods are special this year...........there is a beautiful patch on the E side of I-65 coming down the Muldraugh Hill area......

Yep, one of them will be Iroquois Park. You can find all the locations on KSR.

Good guess! The Courier-Journal also leaked the locations and one is Bowman Field. About 1 1/2 miles from our house. All locations can block off crowds. Not sure if they'll be able to play any music to accompany the fireworks though. It can't be as spectacular being so spread out across the county but it's kind of cool.

 

[bertfan31]

I was at the first one at Cardinal Stadium. They had a shell they shot off at the end called "Big Shot". It was a 12" shell that was supposed to sound like thunder, hence the name Thunder over Louisville. Of course that was nothing compared to what it became.

Geronimo is truly a legendary figure here. Many do not believe he was captured, more like he retired. Apache tradition here says he could run 50 miles. Who knows but pursuit essentially impossible in the arid canyons among the sky islands of the Chiricahua Mountains of Arizona and Mexico.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Can't tell which one is Massai (Burt). Is this picture before or after he escaped from the train and began his trek back to his homeland?

Baylor Bears national title celebration and victory parade currently live on Spectrum cable. All sorts of honors pouring in. Well deserved.

I've brought it up before to my wife but she doesn't seem too receptive to the idea of eating leftovers everyday. I'll cook everyday, but each day we'll eat the food I cooked yesterday. I fried some spaghetti tonight that we had last night and it was much better the second time around. Lots of things are.

Am I alone here? Can we start a revolution?

You say you want a revolution. Well, you know we all want to change the world.

My father would never talk about his service with me, combat or otherwise. Aside from his very last action, nothing.

That last paragraph just nails it. Absolutely

Somebody's gonna find a way to fk themselves up with that scenario. Hope they get a video of it.

We intentionally cook more that what we eat at a meal.......The Director's place of employment has an cafeterial but it isn't open on weekends and a lot of other days recently.......They can't find help....so we make meals for her to take to work with the extras.....tonight I had a pc of fried ham from Monday's dinner, some green beens left over from Sunday and some french fries from Sat.......The Director says I am the left over king.........

Used to LOVE fireworks. Now people shoot them off all year at all hours. Always sorta makes me wish they were more dangerous to handle

Drove all the way to Chicago to see the 4th show on the lake back in the early 90s. It was spectacular. They had diamond shapes hearts ... all kinds of stuff. Hours of fireworks it seemed. Haven't seen anything like it since.

But that frickin hike back to the truck and the traffic cured me of ever going back.

If you're talking bout destruction, don't you know that you can count me out!

I rarely cook anything we can eat in one sitting.
