Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and cloudy. Chance for showers around 2 pm or so. Today's high may reach 82°F or so. Heat returns around middle of next week.
Ground is very saturated from all the rain we've received lately. Mosquitos also coming out, some carrying West Nile virus.
Plan on walking in a few. It's early.
Belmont Stakes today.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

That is wonderful. Gongrats to her.
That's tough. We went through a similar situation about 20+ years ago with our Cocker Spaniel. Had a lump and took him to the vet. Vet gave the Mrs the option of removing the lump and hopefully getting all the cancer or removing the (hind) leg. She just couldn't give the OK on the leg....and hoped/prayed that just removal would work. It didn't. Later they had to remove the leg. Worked for a few months...got better...then worse. Had to put him down. He was a good dog.
Morning folks. It is 63.0°F and sunny.
Glacier National Park is wonderful country. Idaho on the West side is nice also.
Looks like a really nice day shaping up here in the Buckeye State. Sunny and warm....heading to the mid-80s.
Tough night sleeping. Spent almost the entire day mowing (still not done). Even though my riding mower is comfortable (Husquvarna 52 inch cut) if I spend a lot of time on it my back pays the consequences. Probably was on it for 3-4 hours straight. When I went to bed it was one of those aches/pains where it was a struggle to lay still, roll over, etc. Kept waking up. Finally around 2:30 I finally was able to stay asleep till 6:30. Maybe being on that rider for long periods of time makes the muscles in the back tense up...and finally around 2:30 they started to relax. Don't know. Not as much 'achy' this morning....so it will be back out at it to finish one of the fields....then a few other things in the yard.
Y'all have a good, safe day.

Read Isaiah 66, the last chapter of the book. This verse stood out for me.
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“I will extend peace to her like a river,

Sorry to hear that sad news.
Good Saturday Morning
Our temperature is 68° at my house and we got a nice heavy downpour yesterday. First in a long time. We have a 44% chance of more this afternoon around 4:00 PM. Until then we will have bright sunshine with a high of 84°.
Lots to do today but I have not figured out what I am going to do yet. I just might jump in my pickup and take her deep into the swamps. That is always a fun thing to do. We have a nice nature trail close by. My wife is headed down to Tarpon Springs to have her hair done by her hairdresser. We have known her since she was a little girl playing with our kids. She has quite a business going and did very well for herself as a small business owner. She built it from the ground up and now owns the building it is in as well as other things. A self made woman, they are the best.
Don't forget D Day. Most people have

That pyramid takes you to the basement & entrance. Mona L. lives there.Good morning D-League. It's currently 66°, with mostly sunny skies and a high of 87° expected later today.

I get spaghetti and meatballs every time I go to Olive Garden.
I had several relatives at D Day. My cousin Bill Sittley was one of my favored.
He landed on Omaha beach on June 6, 1944, D-Day. He was one of only three men in his Higgins boat that survived the landing. He was shot in the knee and in the face (the 8mm round went through both his cheeks and missed all of his teeth as he was running with his mouth open). They told him he had a million dollar wound and would be going home. 4 weeks latter he was back in Normandy and got his jaw broken in hand to hand combat with a German. They told him he had a million dollar wound and would be going home. 6 weeks later he was back in combat. They sent him to Belgium for R & R and he got to participate in the “Battle of the Bulge”. He ended up in Germany when the Germans surrendered. Bill and his buddies got drunk and Bill rolled down a mountain to sustain his last wound!
He hung around the Army and was a combat vet of the Korean war also.
He always told the funny stories not the sad ones. He knew how lucky he was.
That is quite a career. Outstanding
And you are fortunate if you even get the pretzel and coke. Airlines went from the best way to travel to the worst. I guess it all changed after 9/11 and has become unbearable after COVID
I usually mix it up. Olive Garden Lasagna is so-so. Love their Eggplant Parmigiana.
The last time we went to Paris I called ahead to make reservations to the Louvre......we was told there were no tickets available.......we was going by there on a bus early one morning.....we decided to just get off and look around............we went over to the street entrance and was looking around......we walked towards the pavilon and the police didn't say to get out so we kept going in......we saw two ladies over by the pyramids......we went over for a look see....it was the line to get in.......I asked them if they had tickets or reservations...they had neither.......we got into the Louve 3rd & 4th.......got to see Mona and Venus De Milo and about two hrs of other things.........by the time the line opened people were lined up around the pavillon and out another portal in the palace......a few hundred people at least.....
Spaghetti and meatballs here tonight.
I'm going to keep that option available! I like it!

The place is huuuuge. We spent 4-5 hours there and didn't begin to touch it.
Paris is a great place to visit. Been 3 times for a total of about 8 days. I'd go back tomorrow.
I had home made eggplant parmigiana Wednesday. Sherry knocks it out of the park. She adds extra eggplant and a bunch of cheese just for me on one end. Then you must wash it down with some good dry red wine.
Sounds a bit like my Dad....and I'm sure thousands of others. He had (I think) 3 tanks shot out from under him.....2 of them he was the only survivor. Was shot in the latter stages of 'the Bulge', and was hit in the back from mortar shrapnel while giving a talk standing on top of a Jeep's hood. Sometimes life/death is only an inch or two the other way.
Agree. Love lasagna and I've had it at other places (including home) that is much better than Olive Garden.
Been a number of years, but I thought the lasagna at Fazoli's was better.
Is it just me (not an art connoisseur at all) .... I've always thought that ultra modern pyramid in front of the elegant old Louvre building not only didn't fit in, but was just flat out horrible.Good morning D-League. It's currently 66°, with mostly sunny skies and a high of 87° expected later today.
Everyone stay safe and have a great Saturday.

Howdy D-League. Good discussion on D-Day. Some of you may know the book, "The Bedford Boys" but I'd recommend it to those who do not. It focuses on the small town in southwest Virginia of Bedford that through a chain of circumstances ended up suffering by far the most casualties as a percentage of the population of any place in America.

We was there for a week in 2000 and then again for a week in 2006......the last time we stayed for 16 days........I want to go back.......
Hello Sir,
Not knowing any details just offering ideas. (I get some back pain now and again but I don't go through the riggers of work you do now. (Me taking off 40 pounds several years ago has added years it seems to less pain and a lot of other areas.) I used to mow a little over an acre regularly. Do you wear a back brace/support while you are mowing? I found that stopped a lot of my agony. Now after doing some work and I feel my back tensing up I take a 500mg Tylenol. I have Ibuprofen but do not use that for my back pain. The Tylenol works to stop the agonizing pain though it doesn't stop it all. I have been blessed in that I usually only have to take a couple Tylenols a week and one or two Ibuprofen 400MG. Besides my cholesterol medicine (Most of that is hereditary as my cholesterol now stays at 150.) and the different vitamins I take, Oh, I do take an 81MG aspirin a day as prescribed by my cardiologist. I am thankful.
My darling and I just got back from running around town hitting the markets. I am studying for a certification and also for some critical items I have to address this week at work. Drinking a nice light cup of coffee and on my computer...
I will of course bother and pester all throughout the rest of this day...
Oh, God Bless you all and may God full-fill your desires in him. May you also all seek God in all you do and let him guide your path through your life.
It would be my speed, I would take one wrong step and that truck would pop a wheelie and in I'd go... That chump watching would be laughing his arse off too... (If I wasn't swallowing water or getting gator-bit, I'd be laughing too...)
Fried chicken, squash casserole, carrots and a salad here tonight!
I agree.......but from the inside it is one hell of a skylight........
The Mrs always tells me to wear a brace while I'm on the garden tractor....but I don't.
She also (always) tell me to take ibuprofen for the pain/swelling....but I don't.
Seems like a pattern 😄
I've always been the kind that I don't take any medication/pills unless I have to. Vitamins every day, but that's all. The older I get, the more I think that maybe a brace and Tylenol/ibuprofen might not be a bad idea.
