Probably save you $.17 a burger this year instead of the $.16 a hot dog so, Thanks Joe.
Morning D. It is a lot hotter here today than yesterday and the day before already up to 75.2°F. We are supposed to get to 91° with little chance of rain.
Sorry that I pissed off @Girthang. I was just making my point.
Got some chores to do today.
You all have a good July 5.

Good morning from Shawnee, TN. Currently 71°F and clear. Today's high may reach 89°F. Beautiful.
Had a great 4th, but too wore out from the trip to really enjoy.
Just got back from Middlesboro. Drove over for a visit with a few folks and shopping. Plan on visiting my daughter here soon.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

That's what I call my wife. Whenever I get frisky in bed I usually say Apple (her nickname for the cameo apple because I get only get her to make short appearances) turnover so...heh, heh, heh, she is in for it today.Good morning from Shawnee, TN.

Happy July 5th to all. Still a holiday for many, and that's OK.
Happy B'day @BBUK . I've known some people who get really down around their birthday. Me, for some reason I never have. Have always been surprised (especially the last 10-15 years) at how old I am getting, but time marches on and you/I can't do anything about it....so.
My nephew who bought the house on Anna Maria Island is down there. Hasn't closed yet. He's got a friend that has a place down there somewhere, so they went down on his private jet last week (nice way to travel). So, if they stay the week, he might have his first taste of a Florida hurricane. Not too late to NOT sign those closing papers 😊
Like Bert...some chores. Got out early and weed sprayed some of the yard...front and about half the back.
Where did our/mine obsession come with having yards with green, green grass with NO weeds?

I've never had them but my brother swears by these.....

Perhaps because they developed a written Cherokee language with characters mainly borrowed from Latin & Greek letters & then sprinted books?
The Mrs went up last week with a couple friends to 'Amish Country' here in Ohio. Probably about 3-5 counties of which Holmes is the best known. She brought me back some apple turnovers from one of the Amish/German bakeries. To die for........Good morning from Shawnee, TN. Currently 71°F and clear. Today's high may reach 89°F. Beautiful.

'The second most populous Amish communities reside in Holmes County, Ohio. And it is actually the largest Amish community in the world, known as “Amish Country” to those in the US. The Amish population is so large that nearly fifty percent of the population considers German or Dutch their first language'
As I've said, I'm a relative newcomer with first ancestors here were in 1818.
Now DW has a good number of really old ones. She is descended from the royal governor of VA, Richard Bennett. He was RG in 1650's & in VA house of Burgesses around 1630. His uncle was a member of the colony-founding Virginia Company.
She is also descended from a Patrick Huerigan (sp?) who was an Irish immigrant who fought in Washington's Continental Army in a sharpshooter company. They were dispatched to Saratoga & fought there.
Happy Big 60th Birthday. As Time Goes By. 60 was not a bad year for me. The Lord is with you
Morning D, we had a great 4th, first time in a few years that all my children and grandchildren were all together, lots of food, hamburgers, hotdogs, grilled chicken, ribs, smoked bologna, baked beans, green beans, mac&cheese, bratwurst, apple pie and of course homemade peanut butter ice cream!!
Going to go swimming today, first time going in about 5 or 6 years.
About birthday's, number 70, just another day, but I am glad GOD gave me another one!!!! HE didn't have to!!!!
I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!

Happy 60th! I joined the 60 club last November.
I am going to hit the pool until about 2:00 then head over to the beach. We may have a little activity in the Gulf the next few days so I want to take a look.
This time last year I was wondering if I would ever walk again. Life is good and God is great
Same for me BBUK.
60 was a good year for me. Heck all of them are good if you are on the green side of the grass.
Being persnicety with growing grass is an, "old man" thing........I started using a weed product called "Tenacity".......seems to work very well........Happy July 5th to all. Still a holiday for many, and that's OK.

Got a call an hour or so ago. My nephew and his family are 'wheels up' with their friend (and his family) getting out of the Sarasota area. Decided to get the heck out of Dodge before the hurricane hits.
Think you mentioned that back in the Spring. I looked it up and man...that's is some pricey stuff.
Take it you mix it up in a 1 or 2 gallon sprayer and just spray the weeds only.
Edit...Amazon has it at about $64 for 8 oz.

I am lost trying to link the dates and information with the FindAGrave information and my Ancestry info.
Bert, The Find-A- Grave story for Polly Hooker Rich does not match the Cumberland folklore. Mom was convinced about the Cherokee ancestry. My knowledge is presently based based on John Rich family folklore. The same folklore coming out of Clay Co. Tenn. supports this but the tombstones of the Old Macedonia Cemetery were removed and used for as the base for a moonshine still. The Rich/Strong families of Jackson County suggest that Polly Hooker was actually hidden in the nearby Cherokee reservation during the "Trail of Tears" Cherokee nation removal to Oklahoma. Plausible but not evidenced. My son and myself will be getting our DNA testing soon. We should have this native American blood too. Maybe cultural-biogeography will give us the evidence. It's hard to argue against thousands of descendants. Our genealogist cousin, Bill Vincent, PhD believes the DNA should be another analysis tool to help determine the truth.
I am not making changes in my Ancestry based on the FindAGrave stuff.
Happy Birthday BBUK! Have a great day bud.....I hope you have a day befitting a great guy like yourself......
Funny thing, 23&me says that I have a higher percentage of Neanderthal than 89% of the worlds population. My wife says that explains a lot.I see your channeling your inner Neanderthal.
I regularly update the Ancestry stuff to help with their algorithms. Go figure? I'm also thinking of joining FindAGrave to communicate with this Donald Rich guy. He reminds me of my Uncle Walter Samuel Rich.

My wife took this picture as she is the QC for the railhead and other areas at Fort Sill.
I did the 23&Me thing a few years back Warrior and also had a pretty high mix of Neanderthal DNA, relatively speaking. Can’t remember the exact number. But what a fascinating world DNA science is opening up. It wasn’t long ago leading anthropologists were sharply divided over whether humans COULD mate with Neanderthals. Now we can say almost all European ancestry humans have that DNA, and in what percentage.
Last year my 80 year old cousin did 23&me and ended up with a sister. A sister he did not know existed. She was born in South Carolina about 6 months after their father moved the family to Atlanta, GA. I wonder if he even knew he had another daughter She contacted my cousin and broke the news. Their father had died in 1988 and of course she was not aware of that having never seen him.
I am not sure they are going to get together but it would be interesting. She is still in South Carolina and my cousin lives in Tennessee. She is now 78 years old and her mother never told her she was illegitimate. South Carolina in 1943 was busy with Navy boys which shows you never can tell. A lot of action during WWII did not occur on the battlefield or high seas. .

Interesting story. I’ll bet you could run the world’s most fascinating podcast interviewing people who have gotten shocking surprises in the era of ancestry.com and 23&Me. I’ll bet a lot of families have been ripped apart when dad got a nasty surprise.
When my biological father who left us when I was 7 died last October he was 84 and I had never seen him since he left but, my brothers and sister did and went to the funeral and found out we had another brother and sister. Apparently according to my brothers and sister the other brother (half really) and I look a lot alike and they sent a picture of him to my wife and she was freaked out about how much we looked alike albeit he is about 12 years younger. I have yet to meet him and probably will not because he has spent some time in prison and has been in and out of jail since then. Apparently he can't stay out of trouble.
Just thought i’d post this. for no reason.
I hope you all had a real good day. Been busy for an old(er) man. Thanks again for letting me rant. I am thankful for you. Have a restful night and enjoy your day's tomorrow. God Bless you all...
Ole WC states:Yeah well, I told my wife she was lucky I did not club her the first day we met.
Happy Birthday BBUK:
Thanks Brother...
Thank you Brother Rooster Sir...
Thank you Sir!
