Morning all. Had an early eye doc appointment, so a late start to the day. Plus with all the eye drops in the old eyeballs no outside work today, because....can't see 😄 So today's a lay on the couch and watch TV/movie day. Probably watch a few westerns. Got Geronimo:American Legend on now.

Good Thursday moring

Sausage is frying and the sun is up. Our temperature is 75° and wind South South East at 4 mph with a humidity of 82%. Chances of rain are 15% and the high will reach 86° by midafternoon. That is a nice beach day or just boating around.

How many slept in the back window of the car when you were a kid. No seat belts and the cars had a lot of interior room. I had a brother and sister and when we were traveling and getting sleepy I had to go to the back window since I was the oldest. Is that child abuse today? Am I entitled to get reparations?

I trust all have a great day and are in good health.

Yep...did that too. Things have gotten so goofy....my stepdaughter and her 2 rug rats are coming in later in the Summer for about a month (joy joy). They live in Seatlle and she's left leaning of course. Her youngest is about 8 now....and she wants to make sure that we have the car booster seat ready for when they're here. Its not a full baby car seat...but close. Just goofy....but of course some of these states now have laws where the kids have to be in a car seat until they're 25. 😉

I edited it before you pointed it out. But what do you have against babpipers?

Someone had written in a bathroom stall, "I like grils." Someone came along and crossed out "grils" and wrote "girls" instead. The next person then wrote, "What do you have against us grils?"

Hoover Dam Reservoir Hits Record Low, in Sign of Extreme Western Drought

The reservoir created by Hoover Dam, an engineering marvel that symbolized the American ascendance of the 20th Century, has sunk to its lowest level ever, underscoring the gravity of the extreme drought across the U.S. West.

Just returned from Hop Doddy's. Great time. Limited masking. Great visit with everybody.

 

[UK82]

Eye exam today. Getting my first bifocals. Ugh! Looking forward to my first prescription sunglasses though. Should make walking the canine more enjoyable.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F partly cloudy and hazy. 94°F looks like our high today.

Happy Friday, y'all!

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

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 71°, with thunderstorms and a high of 79° expected later today.

Everyone stay safe on this Friday.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning D-League.

I just finished Jeremiah Chapter 6.

The temperature at present is 71° with Winds West at 9 mph. West winds give us Gulf Breezes. Chances of rain are about 11% by mid afternoon. The high should hit 84°. We will have plenty of sunshine.

We have been enjoying fresh corn on the cob (roasting ears at my house). Local farms have an abundant crop of Silver Queen which is one of my favorite varieties. I trust all have a great day and watch out for bicycles.

Nice looking morning in the Buckeye State. Mild with a bit lower humidity. Last day (in the forecast) for chance of showers/t-storms...but we got none yesterday when they were saying we were to get t-storms in the afternoon. But forecast for next couple of days is hot. Maybe 90 tomorrow.

Need to do a little mowing today. Hope the back holds up....been hurting every since I last got on the yard tractor.

Eye exam today. Getting my first bifocals. Ugh! Looking forward to my first prescription sunglasses though. Should make walking the canine more enjoyable.

I wear glasses on and off. Have script but normally don't wear them in the house or out working in the yard....but to read and drive. I had bifocals and hated them. Got rid of them and got no-line bifocals. Hated them. Got rid of them and got progressives (I think). Like them. Much easier to focus, refocus, etc.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F partly cloudy and hazy. 94°F looks like our high today.

Love, love german chocolate cake. My mom made the best (IMO...I'm biased).
Have never tried the boxed german chocolate mix, but have made just a boxed chocolate and iced it with the caramel pecan icing that Duncan Hines, etc have in their little premixed icing containers. Turns out pretty good.

Y'all have a good Friday.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D-League. Waking up early with these longest days of the year. I've already knocked off a long walk and a productive morning of work.
I feel like I'm ready to go back to bad.
Unfortunately, still a couple years from having that option.

Rainy and humid here. But at least it is Friday.
I hope it is a good day for everyone.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning D, Read chapter 6 this morning!!! Who is coming from the north?

Supper was excellent, 3 cheese scrambled eggs, Velveeta, white American and mild cheddar in them!!!

Got a call from my son this morning, drunk driver decided to drive thru our church yard last night!!

Glad I mowed yesterday, had a slight window of opportunity to get er done before the next rain and made it by 10 minutes!!

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

Tires can be used as flotation devices so...

FIL will be coming over today for dinner. He got in town Tuesday and went to visit my MIL and BIL (his son) and my wife's cousins before coming here. Last and only time we met was November 1999 for Thanksgiving where our only conversation was "Hi, good to meet you" and that was it. He did not like me and did not want his daughter to marry me. Gonna party like it's 1999. False.

So, maybe I missed it. Did you decide to let him stay with you (although uninvited)?

So now we all know. Knew it was a front all along. Never were good as you tried to portray. 😉

lol. Damn, when you can't spell a three-letter word, you need to go back to something...

I just thought it was spellcheck. When I'm on my phone it will take the simplest word(s) and totally change them. Sometimes that feature is a total waste.

I believe that is what happened Colonel. At least, that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

No, otherwise he would have already stayed here Tuesday night. Heh, heh, heh.

Oh, remind me, what kind of work is it you do?

Yeah I had to respond to that...

God Bless you all and may you all have good things come your way.

Never get tired of watching High Plains drifter!!!!

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Never get tired of watching High Plains drifter!!!!

See where Pale Rider is on Tubi....I think. And Beguiled.
Watched Josie Wales for the first time in a long time a week or so ago on Nexflix I think.
If I get lucky and it rains this afternoon (doesn't look like it but one can wish) maybe I'll dial one of them up. Haven't seen Beguiled for years. OK but not my favorite.

Presume you'll get no line progressives. I really can't tell they change top to bottom (Or is it bottom to top?) unless I deliberately hold them up & look at the difference. Being nearsighted, my bottoms are like 60% the strength of the top/distance correction.

I read they're changing name to Mead Pond.

Man I needed a good laugh today, THANKS D!!!!!!

 

[AustinTXCat]

A fairly candid shot of LBJ playing 42 dominos, the "national game of Texas". State championship is held first weekend of March. I believe this photo was taken shortly after he left the White House.

No I just got traditional bifocals for reading. I got another pair of "distance only" for day-to-day usage. For me it's the best of both worlds. I'd rather switch between glasses than have an "all-in-one" solution. Call me crazy. Now the prescription sunglasses are amazing. Life changing. BTW, my wife got 2 pair of the digital progressives that should be ready in a few weeks. I'm interested in seeing how she adapts to them.

We've been on 3 cruises and the only one I'd ever go on again is the Alaskan.

 

[BBUK]

Me supper...

Diced up beef, pork loin, onions, garlic, home made dumplings, mushrooms, squash, and an egg with a little black pepper... I am thankful.... This was Uncle Jed edible...(In a Jethro type bowl...) I ate it...

Agree AK ones are great. Been on two.

But I'll tell ya, Adriatic cruises between Venice & Rome are really good with lots of great stops - Slovenia, Ravenna, Croatia, Montenegro, Sicily, Malta, Naples/Amalfi Coast. Done two of those too.

That is on my bucket list sir. No doubt a memorable trip.

Good... morning, D-L!

Just got back from a vacation and wanted to say that I missed y'all but I needed a break from the electronic devices as much as anything else. Hope y'all had a great week and are properly prepared for the weekend!
