Now the rest of the story.

So yesterday after the tire exploded and dumb came out and told dumber (wig man) yea it's flat, dumb came out and worked around the truck for about 45 minutes, then dumber (wig man) comes out, minus the wig and after about 2 hours they have the flat fix. Then another car drives up another crackhead lady gets out and just starts ranting and raving at both of them. after a few minutes of listen to her scream and holler, the guy goes back in and puts that stupid wig back on and stands there listening to her some more. Then they get in the truck and drives away. What a comedy!!!!!
 
I had the same problem a couple of times.......I thought it was the varmints.......it was cut worms.......sprinkle a tablespoon of corn meal around them.......the cut worms eat the corn meal and it cuts up their digestive system......I actually thought it was the starlings that were eating my plants..........gardening = different problems every season..........my buddy started gardening last year.......he says he learned what the problems were with gardening last year.......I tried to explain to him that it is usually different problems every year.....
In 12 years he might know good bit. Still learnin myself
 
Afternoon D, lazy day, Mrs. M on vacation and just a rainy old day. We did go to that farm to look at it, got a guided tour of it, it has been in his family since 1860!

Do The Tuskegee Airmen count in yawls list? Asking for a friend!

Yawl have a great rest of the day and Prayers!
Which list? Of course Tuskegee Airmen should count on everyone's honor list(s).

One reason I'm not sure that it's cut worms, and why I think it's some type of varmit, is that the plant is totally gone the next morning. There in the afternoon....totally clipped off at the ground and gone the next morning.
Don't know much about cut worms, but do they devour a plant that quickly?
Regardless I'll do the corn meal today. Couldn't hurt.
Also going to sprinkle baby powder on the plants. Was told that keeps rabbits out.
Thanks.
I don't know how it might help with rabbits or cutworms, but we use powdered lime dusted onto our plants to battle bugs. Japanese beetles, worms, flies. Seems to work on the latter but is deadly for the beetles.

Never heard of anything that eats tomato plants whole though. That's pretty weird. Cicadas eat those?
 
Rick Pitino's introductory press conference 32 years ago yesterday. Has it been that long?

Babyface... CM doesn't look like he trusts a word that cones out of RPs mouth
 
Something (a varmit) ate the ones I planted last week/week before. chopped off right down to the ground.
My 1st thought "voles" Small short-tailed rodents very shy about eating in public for fear of being eaten. Cut at ground level then scurry back to hole with entire plant. Like plant thickets and often causing undetected plant damage forging on roots out of sight below ground.

Favorite war movies... so many I have enjoyed and will watch if on, and they never seem to be on when/if I'm watching these days.

Midway (76) will always be a favorite
Platoon (though I've only watched it a couple times and won't likely watch it again)
Guns of Navarone (sp)
Great Escape

I don't know if that's the right order, but a lot of that has to do with my age at the time I first saw them.

I loved Rat Patrol back in the day, Hogans Heroes, MASH back then but wouldn't watch 15min of it now. I like historic based stuff if there's any semblance of consistency to it and they leave the soap opera stuff out of it.

I don't get to watch war stuff as entertainment much anymore. My wife gets annoyed because I will go back to my books for the next days or weeks afterward to read about what I just watched a dramatization of on tv. She watches them with me. In fact she's watched several things with me a number of times.

One thing she got me to watch, wouldn't at first because of the "love blah blah blah" and stuff, is TURN. TV series. Was entertaining if not basted in some modern rewrites of characters because every show has to have modern propaganda in it.

I've got Rat Patrol on now. On Pluto....on their Classic TV Drama channel.
Never liked MASH at all and never watched. Never saw the attraction even though it was a hit.
Liked Hogan back in the day....on at nights on ME-TV but I never watch.
 
Which will be cheaper....a steak or plywood?

The evening news talked about higher food prices, and higher restaurant prices. I told the Mrs. that it just goes along with double the price on gas since last year. I hope all the folks that voted the wrong way this past November are enjoying what they are seeing, and it will get lots worse before it gets better. Printing all the give-away money has its impact in higher prices. Inflation at its finest.

This year will be my 44th garden.......there are still revelations every season........one thing I have learned.......plant at least twice what you think you will need......especially if you are canning and preserving............I prefer to have plenty to give away.......than to not have enough to last two years......I would starve if I had to go to a store and buy canned vegetables..........crap makes me gag.........also I won't be paying $1.50 a can for it.......my saying is....."we might get tired of green beans but we won't starve"..............

Starlings will pick them if they are nest building.....they are deadly on marigolds also.......we plant the marigolds around in the garden for insect control......basil between the tomato plants to make them sweeter and to draw bees.......I will have to try the powered lime dust.......I keep lime dust around to throw under the rabbit cages........

Those buggers ruined a sweet potato patch and then another year demolished a RattleSnake wartermelon patch.......I promise it would have weighed in the 40-45 lb range........little buggers ate right into almost every watermelon I had......you have to leave them on the vine till they are at least close to being ripe......

I really liked the interaction of radar and the first colonel at the camp. Other than that, I don't know or remember why I watched it.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 69°F and partly cloudy. Calm. Increased chances for showers begin around noon. Today's high could top out around 83°F. We'll take it.

Found out yesterday some lady crashed into my daughter as she sat at a stop sign. Daughter okay, but her car is not. Lady's insurance should repair the damage. Stay tuned.

Happy Hump Day!

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

Morning Legionnaires!

Played 2 games last night and I thought it was going to be a bad hitting night as I started out 0-2 with both being popups. But, I settled in and went 4-4 on the next 4 at bats going 4-6 for the night. We won both and currently sit at 3-1. I took extra bases last night getting thrown out at 3rd the first time and being called safe at 3rd with a Pete Rose slide the next time. My team was laughing at the old guy hustle saying, " What are you trying to do out there old man? Show us up?" Since we have 2 pitchers we alternate games normally but alternate positions if we only have 10 players there. Last night we had just enough so, I caught the first game and pitched the second. In the first game there was a quick foul ball short over my head to the rear. I spun around and dove trying to catch it and wound up facing the bleachers and standing at the scores table was an old Drill Sergeant buddy of mine I have not seen in a bit shaking his head laughing saying, "Some one told me you were still out here and I have to come see for myself." Good night overall as I finished my Bindings (German beer) after the games and will now drink the Warsteiners the next time around.

Fishing on the agenda after a short workout today so...fishing report to follow today. If it don't rain.

Rainy morning here in the Buckeye State which is supposed to continue for the day...but at least its warmed up. No more 40s and 50s.
So...nothing on the agenda today. May do some running and pick up a few things that I've been putting off.

Y'all have a good day.

Send us some rain.

We need it bad . I see there is a 60% chance of thunderstorms tonight. Our weather is the same as it has been for weeks. 60's at night and mid 80's during the day with lots of sunshine. The tourist like a vacation without rain but locals need some liquid sunshine.

Nine turkeys came through my back yard this morning. In single file. That is a regular occurrence. Better turkey than deer. Deer are destructive.

Read Isaiah 60 this morning, let your light shine.

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument Saint Augustine, If you have not been to America's oldest city it would be worth your time. Lots of history in that little town.

Trust all have a great day.

Read 60&61 ahead of you now. Is some of it what HEAVEN will be like?
 
Have secretly and quietly joined your group 😉
Instead of 'group' I was going to use the term 'cabal'. Looked up the word to make sure I had the spelling right (I did) and I found this on Mirriam-Webster. The left wing/lib/dem infestation is everywhere.....

Recent Examples on the Web: Noun Mentions of Byzantium are scattered across message boards frequented by both white supremacists and QAnon enthusiasts – who spout conspiracy theories about a deep-state cabal of Satan-worshipping, blood-drinking pedophiles running the world.

QAnon followers believe that President Trump is leading against a cabal of Democrats, billionaires and celebrities engaged in child trafficking.
