[OHIO COLONEL]

Warm and a bit humid this morning in the Buckeye State. About 70 now with a high in the low 80s.

Nothing pressing today, but a whole lot of things I could/should do today. Sitting here trying to figure out which one(s) to do. Or should I do none?

Y'all have a good Monday....and to those still in the 'grind' have a good start to your work week.

Who's the guy on the right, Fred Gwynne?

His other brother, Darrell.

Well, I have something else to add to the story. Found out from my wife that her mother invited her X (wife's father) here and he is coming for 11 days starting June 8th or 9th. He left them when my wife was about 14 or 15 years old. One other daughter was a year older than my wife and the other was 2 years younger. They lived in an apartment in Long Island New York and their mother did not work so, the girls all quit school to work and pay the rent. They moved to Oklahoma when my wife was 18 because her mother was from here but not before their father came back for a brief stay before impregnating their mother with her brother then, he left again. The Girls got jobs here and payed for the house they rented. I started dating my wife about 6 years after that and we got married a couple of years later. Right before we got married her father finally (During Thanksgiving) visited his son and we did not hit it off. He told Wendy (my wife 26 then) that she could not marry me, I was too old (42). She told him he lost his rights to say anything when he left them in New York. He has been back one time since and my wife and daughter went to visit their her sister in Florida where he also lives once. Why am I telling you guys this? Her mother and brother's apartment does not have enough room and her mother told him we have an extra bedroom and that he could stay here. My wife told me this while she was buying my lunch today at a local Mexican restaurant. She has since left it up to me to say OK.

Anybody need a hard working house guest for about 11 days in early June?

One more thing, their mother did not make anyone of them finish school. Even her son was pulled out of school since the third grade (Never home schooled either) because she said he was bullied. Both him and my wife have since got their GED's.

Man, I feel for you. I'm the type that doesn't like to be told what to do....when to do it....or where. My ex-MIL (RIP) was bad but not nearly like that. Current MIL is a sweetheart so I'm lucky there. But the Mrs' family does kind of invite themselves to our house. Partly I guess 'cause it's the biggest house and the backyard is quite large and very nice with the flower gardens for BBQs.
The Mrs loves it...loves company...so if they invite themselves over for dinner or a cookout she's all for it. Me, not so much. Not that I don't want them over but I was brought up in a way that you don't ask someone personal questions (how much was your car? how much do you make?) and you don't invite yourself....you wait for an invite.
That's why as a running joke I call our house the 'community house'. Every family function is here. Someone comes in town (nephews, etc)...dinner is here. Major holidays....dinner is here. Summer get together...BBQ at OC's house. Kind of bugs me only in the sense of guess who gets to do all the work? Preparation? Clean up?
You guessed it.

Isaiah 45:6,7 Great read!!!

Speaking of Isaiah...how in the world did he know about the United States some 2800 years after he lived?
Isaiah 5:20...woe to those who calls evil good, and good evil.

Guess that's why they call him a prophet.

Yes Sir, I totally agree... No common courtesy among some family. It seems it happens a lot. When we lived in Kentucky in Radcliff we had some family members who lived near 300 miles away show up on our doorstep expecting to spend a week with us with no notice at all (It was a regular occurrence.). I fixed them one time. They did that and I told them we'd be leaving in a little while. (We were going to the store.) They had the nerve to ask if they could stay anyway and they'd lock up for "me". I stated no and not tomorrow either. I told them we needed time now to get ready, please call first next time, it may save you a trip. I never let them in the door. They had no issue telling all who would listen how crude I was... Even called my brother in Michigan. He laughed at them. The internet was not the thing at that time or I do not doubt they'd have tried showing up on his doorstep too. They are out there and do not really care.

A gorgeous morning on the Kentucky River.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Morning this fine Monday.

The weather is a copy of the last week. We are currently 68° and sunshine, high should be about 85°. Listening to the news the Sheriff reported a 2020 Cadillac was clocked doing 110 MPH. The officer called for back up and the chase began. When they finally got her through a spin out movement, they found her fully unclothed and in a meth stupor. What is wrong with people. I bet her mama or kids are proud of her.

I guess you have noticed the price of everything. They use to call it inflation but now it is Regular Old Joe. $70.00 plywood, milk $4.09 a gallon, gasoline nearing $3.00. Boy our nation sure hated that tweeting man to want this. But now we have it. Plug in your car and take a 250 mile trip.

Trust all are well.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 69° with 83% humidity here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and chance of thunderstorms with a high of 87°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

I need to turn off the radio. Dang. The news is Joe Biden would like to reduce eatinging meat by 90%. Or one hamburger a month. He is already starting in the White House with no meat Monday.

You see cattle cause us to have gas and they produce gas. On a personal note I get more gas eating beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts and salsa than a 16oz rib-eye. But the greenies are putting pressure on Joe to cut out the meat. Now with that I am definitely grilling some steaks tonight. I have a dozen ears of fresh picked corn so maybe that will cut down on the gas. I doubt it

These girls may be the enemy of Joe and His Green New Deal but to me it is supper on the hoof. If a day comes I can't have beef, then Lord please call me to my eternal home.

Forgot his last name, too, but recognized his face immediately

Don't that it's him, just looks a whole lot like.

Brother Sir SC, may want to make sure and drain the oil and gas first... May not give you the bends so bad then...

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D-League. Long walk in the rain this morning. At least the weekend was clear and dry. I'll take the rain on Monday. It's a day destined to be dreary anyway. Hope everyone has a good day.

You would be correct. Kind of reminds you of Amsterdam.

I sat in that spot a few times. Rode the boat a couple times too.

I worked a trade show there about 20 years ago. Stayed at the Hyatt Regency on the Riverwalk. I enjoyed my stay but was a little disappointed at all the bird poop at the outside dining areas. There were many signs telling people not to feed the birds but they did it anyway.

Lots of bird crap in SA. You learned where and where not to park quickly. Just nasty...

87 years ago today, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were killed in a hail of bullets. Clyde, a Ford V-8 enthusiast, wrote one of the greatest product endorsements ever about 6 weeks before their untimely demise.

“While I still have got breath in my lungs I will tell you what a dandy car you make. I have drove Fords exclusively when I could get away with one. For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got every other car skinned and even if my business hasn’t been strictly legal it don’t hurt anything to tell you what a fine car you got in the V-8.”

Dear Herr Benz (may I call you Mercedes?)

Volkswagen is a fine little automobile for those other people but I still prefer your high end models for myself and others in my entourage. I haven't been able to get out much lately but when I do they are especially good at skirting all the debris that is getting more common in the streets of Berlin recently. You may feel free to use my name in advertisements if you feel it will be helpful in sales.

Your friend and fuhrer,

Adolph Hitler.

Wife and I watched "The Getaway" with Steve McQueen, Ali McGraw and Ben Johnson this past Saturday. Scenes from the movie were filmed at the Riverwalk, including this cool floating lunch table.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning D, just got back from a 3.3 mile walk, took me 1 hour and 40 minutes, but I stopped and talked 3 times to some friends. It is getting hot out there!!!

I live as the crow flies about 4 miles from the Wendell Ford Training center, use to be called WET Site back when I was out there, but when I stepped outside I heard two distinct sounds, a 50 cal. machine gun and a tank fire!!! I don't think they live fire the tanks there, probably do some type of simulator, brought back memories!!!! No mistaking the 50 cal. sound!!!!!

I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!!

Was just reading that this weekend and thinking the same thing. An acquaintance did a short write up about it on farcebook.

 

[Creed Bratton]

Running late on my good morning wishes so have a blessed rest of the day peeps.

 

[cordmaker]

I am in a small BIBLE reading group, 5 of us that read a chapter or two every day, (two of us has been reading for almost two years), if any of the D wants to join, we read Isaiah 46&47 this morning. 48 in the morning.

If I want my day to have a chance to be good, I wouldn't set on the edge of a cliff on a cracked rock... (Just me I guess...)

Ha, I will go as high as needed but darn I have to have some solid footing. I haven't jumped in way too many years but even that wasn't out of bounds (Then).
