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.
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.

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.
Love, love german chocolate cake. My mom made the best (IMO...I'm biased).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.

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.

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)?FIL will be coming over today for dinner.

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!!!!
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.
How highs the water mama? How highs the water poppa?
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.We had a number of posts a few weeks ago about Lake Mead. Saw this just now....
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.www.newsmax.com
Man I needed a good laugh today, THANKS D!!!!!!
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.
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.We've been on 3 cruises and the only one I'd ever go on again is the Alaskan.
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.

Note to self: I graduated High School on this day 42 years ago....
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!

The visit by the FIL was a lot better than the last one of 1999. He brought me a new Bible, The Warriors Bible (fitting ). He has one too since he is a Vietnam Vet (has a 100% disability rating). He wore his Vietnam Viet hat during his visit I guess to break the ice. He did some talking about his time on LRP's (Long Range Patrols) and eating LRPS (Long Range Patrol Supplements). I told him I was not a fan of LRP's because of them being dehydrated and requiring water to reconstitute. They were perfect however for LRPS because of being dehydrated and light.
Found out he is a very staunch conservative and hated what is going on in this country. That sparked a good conversation as well and we traded information on the state of affairs of the country. He lives in Florida and says it is much better there. He also like many of the same old movies as me and was surprised how much I know about the actors and who played in these old movies and shows. Don't think it registered that I am only 11 years younger than him.
Overall a pretty good visit. If he had of taken the time in 99 he would have found that out too. The most promising part is that he is asking his X (my MIL) to go back to live with him in Florida and his son as well. Offered to buy his son a Chevy Silverado (Which he wants) if he would. So far his son says no but, I hope he changes his mind. MIL says she will not go unless son goes and then I am not sure she will anyway. The house with all of those cats will have to be cleaned up and turned back over to the owners to either demolish and rebuild or try to salvage it. Fingers Crossed and locked in place.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and hazy. Expecting 94°F for today's high.
Lots on today's agenda. Morning walk in a few. Must take our pup for a routine check-up at the vet. After vet visit, plan on going into work and cleaning up a few things in anticipation of return to the office in a couple months.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. It's currently a sticky 70°, with partly cloudy skies and a high of 85° expected later today.
Everyone stay safe on this Saturday.

Good morning to all. Going to be a hot one in the Buckeye State topping out close to 90 with some humidity.
Did a lot of mowing yesterday and contemplating to do more today or go on to other projects. Think I'll trim a row of shrubs...that about an all day job. Suckers are huge. I keep them trimmed buy it's easy to get out of hand. So now, even though I trim 3, 4, 5 times a Summer are about 7 feet high. Takes a 6 foot ladder, or my Little Giant, to do it. Had to buy a hedge trimmer with an expanding pole a few years ago and that made it much easier. But still tiring in that with the trimmer...all the weight is at the far end of the expanding pole. But still better.
So I'll probably do that. Try to get it done before the afternoon heat really hits.
Y'all have a good Saturday.

Good Saturday Morning
This is big breakfast day at my house and has been a tradition most of my life. No cereals or muffins today. Just finished reading Jeremiah 7. This book of the Bible reminds me so much of the condition of America today. When will we ever learn?
As for our weather, it is 71° and very sunny and should reach 86° this afternoon. Looking in the future there is some activity in the Gulf that may bring us some much need heavy rain by tomorrow and Monday.
I have a little yard work that is over due so I might tackle that. It will work off my Saturday breakfast. I trust all are well and have a great weekend.
Some days I really miss the Old Home Place. No air conditioning, no heat, no window screens and no worries. Simple times. But those citrus trees produced some very fine fruit.

The bible I use the most (probably have 10-12 in all...some different translations) is The Nelson Study Bible NKJV.
As it breaks up passages/verses it sub titles them. At the beginning of Ch 7 it says 'Trusting in Lying Words' and since the book is prophecy and warnings to Israel of how they're off the track, and impending destruction....when I saw that sub title I thought...this chapter must have Biden and the Dems in it 😟
Good morning D-League. Cool and cloudy in the east - good walking weather. I've been tramping around since 5:30, and now having a cup of coffee and catching up.
I just talked with my mother in Kentucky and my son drove up from Lexington this morning to surprise them. It felt a little bittersweet to think of them all around that breakfast table, my 90-yr old dad and 85-year-old mom, in the house we moved into in 1965, and not be able to be part of it. But I was glad they could all be together.
Heading out to lunch in a bit with a couple friends, mostly friends of my wife back to her days at the University of Maryland, but I like them well enough. The husband of the couple was a history professor at St. Joe's in Philadelphia, and has written a couple obscure books about Lincoln. That's a period of history I'm interested in, so he generally can come up with some unusual trivia I didn't know about. Worst case scenario, I recall the place we're going to has good french onion soup.
I hope it's a good Saturday for the D-League.

Going to a mini family reunion today. The guy putting it on is a cousin I haven't seen since we were kids. I understand he is a retired Lt Colonel from the army.
