Well, so much for the weed & feed. In walking over to one of the sheds I heard on my headphones that it's supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow, so I'll put it off for another day. Grass is wet this morning...perfect time to spread it...but rain within a day or two just washes it off. So I'll have to find something else to do. Shouldn't be hard, I'll just look at my honey-do list she prepared for me .....
Good morning D-League. Beautiful day in the east after a wicked round of thunderstorms. If any of you Reds fans watched the game from Nats park, you saw those freaky black clouds.
Today is the day I'm officially sick of cicadas. Took a long walk today through some close set trees and the damn things were really agitated -- i guess its now or never on the mating front. They were flying into my hair and attaching to my clothes.
Bugs have always freaked me out. I can take snakes, lizards, rodents, even scorpions, which I've encountered quite a bit in my travels. But I'm most creeped out by bugs. I can't say why.
I hope you all have a great, cicada-free day.

I understand some restaurants are serving them as sandwiches and with a full course meal. I am not into that.
I'd rather eat the rancid camel meat we had diced up with a little onion and tomato in a sauce spread over spaghetti like we dined on in Mogadishu during the days before the US military arrived than eat those bugs.I understand some restaurants are serving them as sandwiches and with a full course meal. I am not into that.
I am with you there. Much rather eat camel than any insect.
I have to shave the top of my ears and the top of my nose weekly. Plus I have to trim my eyebrows regularly. Yet the top of my head never needs attention from clippers or razor. That can't be right.
The Somalis, because of the long status as an Italian colony, were handy with pasta. We called the dish they whipped up with the sauce over spaghetti "Camel Bolognese."
We ended up with .34". I am happy for that. Maybe a little more today.
I'm not sure why they had to run a correction. Surely the guy didn't complain? Maybe the wife got involved...

The Good Lord is just having a little fun with you.
Was talking with my bro and we were discussing how inflation is running rampant. Have/had a little project to do...checked plywood....$60 a sheet! 😡 Started talking of other things and we wandered into talking about the Smokies. Pigeon Forge. Inflation still on our mind so while talking he looked up a couple prices. Dollywood $79 + tax......Dolly Parton Stampede (the old Dixie Stampede I assume) $60!
I can always count on the D for a good laugh, no matter how bad of a day I am having!!!!!
One reason I NEVER pluck nose hairs. The other being a friend that got a recurring cyst there from doing that.
Everything is going up. Across the board and no one seems to worry about it. I think people are getting use to the government sending out checks.
Plywood will be like gold when hurricane season gets here. It will double or triple in price.
Just went to the Stampede this past spring. Don't know if I'd do that again (or the first time) at that price. Wife purchased it for us ahead of time. Entertaining, but at $60 it's too pricey for me. (Which is why my wife bought them ahead of time and without telling me how much they cost.)
This is for the carpenter D's, I have a stained glass panel that I have the frame already cut to put together, my problem is the panel has to slide into a groove, then has to be glued together. My question is, has any of the D ever used a strap clamp? I thought about just gluing each one then sliding the panel in before gluing the final piece on, just not sure about the last two angles fitting together. Your thoughts?
Thanks for the reminder... Forgot to post that I found a small scorpion and a spider both dead just under the flap of toilet paper that hangs over the edge. Must've been an epic battle. My wife refused to use that bathroom for a month after that, so SOME good came of it. That and the scorpion is dead...
I'm not much help, as I always use bar clamps
I've used them but like Girthang I've got more experience with bar clamps. But they do work good for odd angles, etc. If you're worried about the angles being right....just cut them and do a dry fit and see how everything aligns. And if needed you can take it apart trim your angles and dry fit again. Then glue when it all looks right/good.
Cut your lengths a bit long in case you have to 'shave' a little on an angle that won't fit properly. Like a barber it's easier to cut a little more than to put some back.
I was looking at condo's on the beach yesterday and they are about twice as high as I normally pay. I guess the folks are trying to make up for lost money from everything being shut down last year.
What is it about now? Since woke Dolly changed the name I assume it's not about the North vs South anymore because we all know the best way to not repeat the past is ignore it.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
I got rice cooking in the microwave
I got a three day beard I don't plan to shave
It's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey,
I'm doing alright
Yeah I think I'll make me some home-made soup
I'm feeling pretty good and that's the truth
It's neither drink nor drug induced, no,
I'm just doing alright
And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shining
When I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good

Heard on the radio the other day that for the time store brands (Kroger brand, etc) items market share had dropped last year. More and more people buying online for pickup/delivery and not comparing price as much...hence buying the 'name brand'. Said that the 'name brand' companies are therefore raising prices as much as then can since they feel no one is paying attention/comparing like days past.
Also @Creed Bratton, you had posted on the Zero Turn thread about the retired doc running off his property into the lake and dying. Told my bro about it (actually found an article online about it and sent it to him) since we have both spent so much time at Cumberland.....he was telling me about a guy he has coffee with most mornings whose brother did the same thing and died back in 2012. On the Monticello side of the lake I believe.

OC, I have already done a dry fit and they look good, may just have to go ahead and try the bar clamps. thanks

Blast from the past for your late morning: Roger Miller and Willie Nelson, 1967.
I did the weed/feed thing one spring.....grass looked great........I had to cut it every other day most of the summer until it got hot and dry..........a guy I played music with worked for a local lawn care.....he told me to hold the fertilizer off till the fall......that way most of the growth was in the root system and I wouldn't have to cut it so often........I still start using Tenacity as soon as the weeds start growing......(I wish my neighbors would)Well, so much for the weed & feed. In walking over to one of the sheds I heard on my headphones that it's supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow, so I'll put it off for another day.

I did the weed and feed one time, didn't check the forecast, rained that night, now the next door neighbor below me has the best looking yard in the neighborhood!!! Bad thing is he mows a lot more than I do!!!!
Is there a way to shoot a small brad into the joints before you put the strap clamp on it? I have never used a strap clamp per se.........My uncle gave me some velcro straps that I used a couple of times....much like Mr. G above........I have bar clamps and use a lot of jigs with wedges for stuff like you are doing..........at least what I think you are doing......and I have used rubber inner tubes to strap things together.......
Yeah but how are you on gizzards?
Oh, I do wish and pray you all God's mercy and forbearance. God's grace is sufficient... Trust in he who never fails. God Bless you all...
Good Thursday Morning D League
Enjoying a strong cup of coffee and just finished reading Isaiah 50. KJV
The weather is the same as yesterday and the day before that. It is 64° and the high will be in the mid 80's with no rain. I have a feeling once the rain starts it is going to come down in abundance.
Not much going on. I have a very important doctor's visit to go over my recent scans this afternoon. There will be lots of activities around here this weekend and I might squeeze in a trip down to the Florida National Cemetery in Sumter County to watch the Memorial Services. I don't have any family buried there but I do have some old friends of the family.
I trust your day is as full as the moon over Cross Creek
God Bless, heal, protect, and provide for you brother Sir, in Jesus' name!
