You need to bring that wood here and throw it in the pizza oven...........we'll cook up some great pizza......and the beer is always frosty.,...
Peter Graves is James Arness's younger brother......I met Peter Graves at a Dismiss House Derby dinner...........he tried to sneak out a side door...........I was on him.......got his autograph.......he talked to my foster father and me for maybe 10 minutes.......I remember he was very nice......
Rock-A-Billy music is a bit eclectic. I was surfing for one of my favorites Imelda May about 10 years ago and read "if you like Imelda you might like Paloma Faith". Not as much as my wife and daughter. So here's everything I know. From London, her mother English daddy Spanish. She ran with the Olympic torch in heels as she "doesn't do sneakers well" She's was a magician's assistant who's been cut in half, can sing with emotion and puts on quite a show. Being easy on my old eyes didn't hurt. She sings for a living. I saw "Dove Tattoos" doesn't affect her voice
She makes commercials.
The hardest part is determining what what you don't know.
Perfect! The subconscious mind never sleeps unless drugged and the psyche a source of knowledge where there are no limitations of reality. Teach yourself to tune in. Its a port to the id.
Morning Legionnaires!
Going out fishing again this morning for a few hours then back to cut the grass. Really could wait for a few days to cut it but, rain in the forecast for the next 10 or so days. It will also give me an excuse to be outside for at least a couple of hours while the MIL is here.
Fell asleep on the couch and had a dream last night that I was attacked, (did not know him) and I got this guy on the ground and was punching him in the head. Woke up and i had my UK back support couch pillow (one with arms) in my hands and was punching one of the arms. About a week ago I was on the couch asleep and was in another altercation where I threw a side kick and I woke up with my leg off of the couch in a side kick position. I have done that a few times while in bed with my wife but luckily, the bed is big enough where I have missed. I have had dreams where she has actually had to wake me up from me yelling at whoever was in my dreams.
Anyone else have these type of dreams?
That's why many folks that tune in keep a pad next to their bed to jot down notes . . . really helps.

Austin I'm telling you this as a friend. You probably shouldn't go out in public with your pants that tight. Doesn't it gall your thighs?Hiking at Kentucky's Red River Gorge.
Don't you live in Louisville?
Had a good talk with Bert earlier. Got off the phone hungry as hell and went straight to the kitchen. Ate 3 moon pies and finished my coffee. I'll do better for lunch.
Gonna trim some bushes today. Do not like that job. I would say a fella deserves a cold brew or 4 after that.
I'll watch the Preakness and throw some dollars at it. Can't have worse luck than Derby Day.
I might be sweaty the next time I talk to you. But not too...
Taking a short beer break from all the activity. Got most of the bushes trimmed but still have to collect everything I've cut and haul it to the back.
A little more trimming and a lot of weed eating to go yet. I can see this may end up being a 12 pack day for sure.

Good talk.
We should remind everyone that we did not gossip.
Everyone on the D-League that we ran down really deserved it!
Me too . . . mowing. With no Yuengling available round these parts, I'll have to suffer with a Bass. Po little ole me.

Taking my next break. That was 2 solid hours of manual labor. A lot of people who aren't going back to work prolly don't put in that much in a full day. Yes I am sweating. But not too much...
Multi-colored stick worms and flukes mostly. Had been doing well last couple of years but, out weather has been unusually cool for spring for here so, I am guessing it has a lot to do with it.
Today's report. Warrior-cat-0 ---Largemouth Bass 0. Not one bite in 4 hours but, I did hook about a 3lb channel cat. Thought I had hooked on to a decent sized bass because it fought so good. Probably won't go out for this next week. Supposed to be raining all week. If it breaks and it looks like I have a few hours to play I might slink down to Lake Ellsworth which is a little over a mile from my house. I can see it from my front yard and if I hook a left out of my drive way I can drive straight down the road into the lake. I have had limited success bass fishing there over the years since I have no boat. May have to give it a shot this week.

Ah yeah baby, national chocolate chip day. Shhhhh! Don't tell my wife. I have some of the dark chocolate ones (bitter sweet) and I have a pound of dark chocolate snow caps I ordered from Nuts.com.Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and cloudy. Expecting 86°F for today's high. Rain chances increasing late tonight and early tomorrow morning.
Looks like I'll try more weeding later today. We've got a few between both fences I must pull by hand. If I wait too long after flowering bloom, resulting stickers are terrible. Working additional chores as well.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

KFC is still #1 for me with Popeye's spicy strips second. I love to eat KFC the next day straight out of the refrigerator.
I was trying to find a clip of Carson saying that because I was thinking the same thing.
Yes sir.....the best city in the world to "be from".........
We could get the Louisville folks together for a lunch somewhere, sometime. Of course, if anyone wanted to make a drive from Ashland or Evansville, they would be welcome as well. Hell, let's just open it up to Smith's Grove folks too.
Front yard is done. Got everything cleaned up and the tools are back in the shed. The back is about 4 times the amount of work as the front so it will have to wait for another day.
A story about today
by Bertfan31
I told my wife this morning that I would be doing yard work today and she said she wanted me to burn some things in the barrel. I told her that the wind was blowing too hard and I didn't want to smoke out the neighbors. Mainly because, like a good neighbor, I'm there.
She made a couple of remarks that basically went something like this, "screw the neighbors".
So any way, I've got this fire going and everything is going well. There was little to no smoke coming out of the chimney and in fact, flame was coming out of a 4 foot chimney.
I go about my business and I smelled something in the front yard. I went around the house to look at the barrel and black smoke was coming out hard. Like it was pulling 100 cars up an 8% grade.
I went back inside and asked her what was in the bags she wanted burned. She had told me, after I specifically asked her, that there was nothing in the bags but paper. Old bills, envelopes, and what not. She says "I think there was an extension cord in there and a timer..."
I told her to just stop, it didn't matter what was in there because it wasn't the paper she told me it was. She said "it should burn up in there shouldn't it?"
I said "yep, it'll burn up", and went back outside to the peace and quiet of back breaking work.

Mike Linnigs is a good place.......they have outdoor and indoor dinning..........I would be up for anywhere........I have such a tight schedule that I am only available.........anytime........
Just get a bag of marshmellows and a stick and throw it down out there.........when the FD arrives......tell them you are getting ready to make smores....
Pulled a whole bunch of weeds earlier today. Now we'll see how much sticks to puppy's fur and all over my clothes after this long, tedious task.
Talked with neighbors down the street thereafter. Great folks.
Grabbing a beer (or 2, 3, 4) soon for Preakness.
Enjoy the day. Wishing y'all a good one.

Mike's is fine with me. Haven't eaten there in about 3 years.
It's legal for me to have an open fire if I want to. I call the FD first like they say I should but they always show up because someone calls. If I burn a pile in the backyard it's usually fairly big.
edit to add; Monday and Friday are the best days for me.
Is Baffert a christian, conservative, Republican? If I was him I would tell NBC to stick it (or something much stronger).
Great minds think alike. After mowing 1/2 of one of the fields today I burned some brush, etc in the fire pit. But we really don't have any neighbors to bother....so fire it up. Every Spring we have a ton of brush, dead stuff from last year, sticks from trees, etc to burn. The Mrs always piles it all up in the fire pit as she's gathering it up...even though I've told her for years and years not to. More work for me...have to pull everything out before I even start. Anyway, all in ashes now other than a few decent size branches/logs.
Tilled about 1/2 of the garden. That wears me out. Got a big rear tine Husqavarna that is big, heavy, etc. And even though it self-propelled, it's still like hanging on to a bronking horse. Then got cleaned up and grilled some ribeyes, so I'm pooped.

Fish for a different variety of fish. Bass are giving you not only fits, but nightmares.
Oh, I pray all's day is well. Been out with my Darling and grandson most of the day. God bless you and may you all know the feeling of a grandchild looking at you with all the love in the world. God bless you all...
Today has been a perfect weather day, and tomorrow looks to be more of the same. I could handle weather like this year round.
Yeah! Favorite time of year by a long shot. It's worth the extra work.
Spring and Fall are definitely my favorite seasons.
Rombauer turns on the jets to come from way back to win the Preakness.
I had 10 bucks on Rombauer. I'm picking by names these days because it seems like the best way. My favorite wine.
The Director is a firebug......can't keep her out of a fire..........she has just got to poke at it for some reason........I have a Cub Cadet rear tine tiller......it is much bigger that what my gardens really need.........I can have the tines in reverse while the wheels are pulling forward........I have raised beds that were built out of compost.........think screened potting soil........with a fair amount of rock in it.........(watch out for loads of free dirt),,,,the reason for a large tiller is I just have to back it up and guide it.....I had a Troybuilt Pony tiller that some one done me the favor of stealing.........I called it, "little bucky"......the only thing I have left to plant is my sweet potato plants.......so maybe the Director and myself can go catch a mess of crappie........
Hit the Superfecta for a smooth $102.55
Spending an evening at the Sports Drome in Jeff-ville IN. It’s a hoot. Nephew in-law will be racing in a couple of the races. Gods old American fun.
Darn, My Darling and I along with probably my Grandson will be making a trip to Radcliff in probably the next ten days to two weeks. I'd sure buy at least all the drinks if I could crash the party!
Safe travels. Good old Radlciff. My cousin, Mary, lived there while her husband was stationed at Fort Knox. Been through a few times. It's changed a bit.
was gonna work on the bushes today but never got to it..mowed yesterday along with plenty of cold beer just left me not wanting to do much today...maybe tomorrow if the rain holds off.
Been to linnigs several times since they opened back up. bout 15 minutes from my house. Cunningham's IMO is just as good, kingfish will not get anymore of my business.
got my garden in the ground, now just need to warmer weather for the ground to warm up...
Not much else shakin this end of town...

Years ago I was involved in the Phoenix Place construction project east of the hospital complex downtown......near the end of the project the owner took the foremen to Cunningham's for "lunch"........by the time I left there I was seeing quadruple.....I tore up a Chevy Van......didn't get hurt......had just enough sense to pull off at Norton Pool......I woke up several hours later laying on my tools in the back......quit drinking for several yrs.........My grandpa has his picture on the wall at Cunningham's...............family traditions....
