Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and cloudy. Rain chances increasing around 2 pm. Today's high expected reaching 79°F.

Some Latino guy pulled up in our driveway at 1:30 am this morning and started banging on the door. Wife was up. Dog came unglued. I never heard a thing. According to wife, he spoke Spanish, wanted in and pointed at North Lamar. We've got two locked doors for good reasons. He backed out of driveway and left.

Found out yesterday we're heading back to the office by September 1. We might transfer to previous location, where I worked 2010 - 2018. I can live with that.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Well, I have to get out today anyway. Hostess cupcakes here I come.
 
Good morning D League

Woke up to a nice morning, 68° and clear skies. Our high is expected to reach 82° and we have a 15% chance of rain. We could use a little rain down here. More than a little.

I trust all have a great day.

Is that a Momma and a Papa?

A relative of one of these?



;)

Oh, I hope this day brings you what you need and desire in Christ. God Bless you all...

I don't have any Hostess Cup Cakes, can I eat a piece of Pecan Pie with chocolate chips in it a nd call it a Hostess Pecan Pie?!!!
 
Morning guys! A chilly low 40s here in the Buckeye State...will only top out in the low to mid 50s.
Was going to get the tiller out this afternoon and get to work on the garden. But....of course.....it rained last night so with a little rain, plus all the rain the last week or so....I imagine it would be a muddy mess. So the tiller stays where it's at for now. Starting to look like the 'mater plants won't get in God's ground till June 1....who knows?

Nothing else on the agenda...but I could find plenty if I REALLY wanted to.

Everyone have a good, safe, and healthy day.
 
We did some running yesterday and had lunch at a local burger joint we enjoy. Haven't been there since about this time last year. Always get the same thing (a sandwich they're known for)...what would have cost us $12-15 last year was $20 yesterday. But I'm sure the gov't will tell us there is no inflation.

I have noticed that all the places we haunt have went up as well. I figure it's either trying to make up for lost money during the lockdown or they see it as an opportunity to jack up their prices without much backlash.
 
Looks like I'll have to mow again tomorrow. I think I'm going to leave the deck all the way down and just scalp the shit out of the yard. I only want to mow it once so I think it will be OK.

I used to cut mine really close and I found that cutting it high actually keeps you from cutting as often. I cut mine at about 3 1/2 inches and it is a lot healthier, looks better, and goes longer between cutting. Plus, it is easier to cut when you do have to mow.
 
Good morning! Alexa told me it was 39° this morning. I get the feeling sometimes that she doesn't even care.

Tee time @ 1109 today. Hope to equal yesterdays score, or better.

I don't remember Bob Baffert being in trouble before Rick Pitino came to town and started playing horseman. Hmmm...looks like ol Bob has got some Pitino patina on himself.

Hey SawneeCat,
I wish that I could send you some of our excessive rain. I've already recieved well over 50 inches of rain so far since January. Just a ridiculous amount of rain for this point in the year. The only upside I have seen with that is that all my vegetable plants have a good head start to their growing season. Take care and I hope you're doing well down there.

I was just imitating my wife's logic regarding the washing machine. I mow mine with the deck all the way up. at least 4"
 
Back in the 90's, a local Chinese restaurant was closed, and the owners were criminally charged, when the health department inspector found cats in their freezer. Luckily, I had never eaten there.

I guess it's just me, dude serves me a cat and he would have me to whip. Then the law could get involved. (Even in my advancing years...)

June 1st starts our "hurricane season" which means we will have a little rain in the late afternoon. Usually around 4:00 PM. I am praying for more than our usual amount of tropical storms. We like all of the rain we can get.

On a positive note we were not effected by the pipeline hackers. We get petroleum from a different source so no shortage. Prices are about $2.59 which is up quite a bit since January. I doubt people realize it but inflation is going up and up and up.

Not to mention the re-added TAXES. No one ever seems to blame it on those... President Trump removed many of those in many areas. The new administration just ...added them back sight unseen...

Same here with the gas prices; right around 2.60; there's so much going on the world with the inflation (and maybe food shortages coming this summer), Jerusalem on fire, rumors of wars, etc.....much of the world seems clueless abou it. Interesting times for sure
 
It is a warm 12.778°C with a high expected of 19.444°.

I mowed yesterday. This time of year I mow every three to four days just so I will not have such windrows of hay. I mow at 3.5" so that if rain delays me for a couple days I can go to 4" for a mowing and then drop down to 3.75" the next time and then back to 3.5". I gotter figured out! :cool:



It is a warm 55.0°F with a high expected of 67°.
 
Some high tech going on.. A good watch...(Get out of their way!)

Good morning D-League. Busy days for me. Hope all is going well with you all.

I enjoyed that video BBUK. I had the experience of landing on carriers a few times in what they called a COD -- Carrier Onboard Delivery aircraft. Quite a thrill. You are sure you are going to crash into the deck on landing, and sure you are going to sink into the sea on departure. Other than that, it is fun.

I thought a couple of you guys might be interested in the below plaque. In the months before the Desert Storm air war I spent a few weeks on the USS Saratoga in the Red Sea, writing mostly about the pilots. Unbelieveable young men, a couple of whom were about to become KIA and POW while striking Baghdad.

They gave me the below certificate after 'busting my cherry' by landing on a carrier the first time. It was a bit of a gentle joke. If being strapped in white with anxiety, teeth gritted and eyes closed and expecting any second to be consumed in a fireball makes you an "Honorary Naval Aviator" then I am one. But I did get to see what it takes for the real Naval Aviators to succeed, and they are incredible pilots and really heroic.
 
When I shut mine down I had like 18. I have a niece and she had over 2,000, I ask her do you know all these people, she said no, just told her she better stop adding people. This is what gets me, people will go on vacation and start adding pictures of where there are and when they are coming back home. Had a friend who's house was broken into while they were gone, I told her not to post pictures while they were gone, but did anyway. She kept saying that she just had her friends on FB, but I kept telling her or asking her, but who are they friends with that sees her page!!!!! Found out it was someone who saw it from a friend, of a friend of a friend!!!!!

I know someone through a friend that had their house broken into 2 years in a row. Same time of year. Then again 2 weeks or so after 2nd break in. You can guess what time of year it was. Guarantee they were seen loading things into and out of their car.

I don't post anything personal except for close friends and family. The rest can't really see those posts. I post/shate some comedic or UK sports stuff for public consumption. If I post anything about anywhere that I go, it's done at least a day and up to 2 weeks after I've gone there, even if I "check-in" there. Always have done it that way. Too many tales from acquaintances about negative things happening because they shared real time stuff on social media
