Thank you. Today has been productive and I managed to get a lot of light yard work done. Some kind of critter is tearing up our flower beds. I have no idea what it is but they are digging like crazy every night. A .22 should take care of that if I can catch them.

I just finished off a plate of tamales and now I am headed to the pool with a big plastic jar of pork skin rinds to relax the rest of the afternoon. My two favorite snacks are boiled peanuts and pork skins. They are addictive

Sc, borrow a trail cam and set it up, it will show you what's doing it!!!!! Could be a skunk!!!!

Try some moth balls or moth crystals. A cheap try that may help...

Armadillos?

In Jacksonville the little turds would do anything for a grub or something like that that they were digging for. I finally killed every damned one of them.

That would be my guess. I have seen several of them around. Also we are in a dry season and that makes them worse. Having a lake doesn't help the situation.

This issue just started this week and it is getting out of hand now. I have a plan. Possum on the half shell anyone ?

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

What? Food shortages? Jerusalem on fire? Rumors of war? Ha Ha, this clueless bastard don't know nuttin bout nun o dat! Now that I've realized that common sense is detrimental to our society, I don't give two shits about nothing that happens outside my yard or my golf course.

Screw it all. I tried.

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!



It is a warm 55.0°F with a high expected of 67°.

Very detailed description Bert. Have you ever thought of writing lawn porn?

Got a text around 3 pm regarding costs for that 15-minute phone call I made to Germany this morning. T-Mobile billing me $51.00 for the call. Looks like I'll contact their customer service in a few.

So, your brain instructed your vocal cords to manipulate the air in such a way as to convey your message to an entity 5000 miles away at basically the speed of light, and you in return were able to hear her voice with the same clarity and timeliness. Yet you want to complain about the cost?

What a pampered society we've become. I would gladly pay twice your money for that call. I would use you money for other things as well. But for that call. Double.

This is the last year I pay for Amazon Prime service. $120/yr. for 3-5 day delivery on most items these days. The music and video package that comes with it isn't worth it either. Screw Amazon!

Gonna keep it. When I log into Amazon it thinks that I'm my wife. Bastard lets me order anything I want and charges it to the card. Not my card. THE card. It shows up on my porch and no one says a word about it.

I love Amazon almost as much as I enjoy my white privilege.

Me supper...

Black bean paste sauce with pork belly, onion's, potato's, garlic, and a few other light spices.... I am thankful. Now I am nursing a Yuengling. I am again thankful...

This is a huge loss for UK football on the recruiting side of things. Was probably UK's second best recruiter after Marrow.

Not incognito at all. Everyone here should know by now that I am windycat13 by now. I mean, seriously.

Damn honkey!

What you talking bout Willis?

These days are gone forever. Full service and gas about $0.19 cents a gallon.

Well, cars today don't burn/leak a QT of oil between fill-ups.

I agree with you. The Mrs disagrees....so she wins. When we first got Prime, which seems like not too many years ago, it was like $60 (maybe a little more). Prime has a lot of movies/shows but most are pretty bad and pretty old (and I prefer the old movies over the PC modern movies). What bothers me is that they don't send you an invoice....the yearly charge just shows up on your Amazon CC (may get an invoice if you don't have their card.)
But agree.....screw Amazon.

But in our household, the Mrs' SIL is pretty high up the corporate ladder out there in Seattle....so that's got a little bit to do with her thoughts to keep Prime. But politically...she doesn't like Amazon either.

 

[bertfan31]

l have absolutely no idea how much Amazon costs. I don't care. I watch his tv shows and I utilize his free shipping in a day or two. My wife pays the bills. I live carefree.

 

[Girthang]

I can honestly say I have never cheated on my wife. Over the years there has been a couple of women who may have flirted but I never returned the attention so it went nowhere. However, for the most part that has been limited and I feel it is because maybe I neither initiated it and didn't partake in it in return if they did.

Same here. Been sexually assaulted but never cheated.

Gonna blow up our recruiting class, too

How do you know that?

How does anyone not know at this point? 4 years ago that cat was let out of the bag. Personally I know someone that used to work in cybersecurity for a large company.

 

[Girthang]

And I think it's a horrible move for the coach, too. Must just be missing Michigan or they said he's gonna be their next guy WHEN Hard liquor gets canned or moves on. (Dang autocorrect)

Now this is a good topic of discussion. Is it spelled with an "e" or not?

The 2-day guaranteed deliver is no more. Will they refund my money? Doubtful.

When all awake tomorrow or soon there after it will not surprise me if our government needs to start collecting a cybertax to save us from attacks. It must be done. After all, it is for the children...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 60°F and cloudy. We may hit 69°F for our high. Lovely.

Local news is interesting this morning. NASCAR is coming to Circuit of the Americas, located out by our airport, May 21-23. I'm not attending. It appears the city of Llano will become the "barrel racing capital of Texas". Nice to know. Moving right along.

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

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 46°, with mostly sunny skies and a high of 63° expected later today.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

And the hoarding of gasoline in Eastern Kentucky begins:

This person may have a reason but many are so stupid. Health care workers are now concerned about having gas to go to work. I own two cars and usually keep the tanks near full or full. I guess my daughters can use those if this stupidity goes much further. Glad I bought toilet paper a couple days ago as I guess that is next if it hasn't happened already. I do have to go try and buy milk sometime today... and eggs... and bread, oh I have bread.. may buy another loaf...

Any crisis is good if you gain more control by the crisis. I guess that is the mantra now. Will Dr. fauci weigh in on this or is he a one trick pony?

Oh, May God control your life, it is your choice. May you submit to God's direction and instruction.

Fortunately we get our petroleum from our ports from oil tankers and not through a pipeline. But the Panhandle areas get it from the pipeline and they are feeling the pinch. We shouldn't have any food or other shortages here and since we have been open all along life is pretty normal. Other than prices are rising by the day it seems.

Nothing should be a surprise though because it is by design, Biden campaigned on raising prices on everything and the people are OK with it because they elected him and his HO. So what comes to America is what the majority of America wanted. I don't have time to worry or cry about the problems this nation will be facing. It was what they wanted.

Colonial used to be a fairly large account of ours back in the day. HQ was on Peachtree as I recall. Now in Alpharetta.

Was just telling the Mrs a little while ago...and some may disagree and that's OK...but the Bible says that if you do His will... His hand of protection is over you. Look at what all has/is happened in only a few months with Biden...who is not governing by Biblical principles. It's like....not only has He lifted His hand of protection, He's giving this country a backhanded slap in the face as well.

Morning folks. It is a sunny 51.3°F here on our way to 65°. It looks like some roundup will be applied to some weeds in the mulch beds. It has been a long time since we did not have rain or wind.

I filled up my yard mowing gas cans and top off the car yesterday at a decent price of $2.54 per gallon. Of course last year at this time it was around $1.70. In this area we get our petroleum products via pipeline and barge. Most people don't understand just how well "plumbed" we are. The Biden act of shutting down the pipeline from Canada was just pure stupidity. I hope we can outlast his administration.

Now that's a great drive. There must be 50 (100? 200?) buttes/mesas in Monument Valley. Lots of old westerns shot there.

I hate stopping for gas so I run my tank down. Last night it told me I had 13 miles left. Put a quarter of a tank in. I mean who wants to die with a tank full of gas?
