Rental car acting up. Makes a loud ticking sound on left-rear axle while driving. Bet a bolt came off rear brake caliper. I'll drive over to Middlesboro tomorrow for a swap. Hope I receive a good replacement vehicle.
Happy Big 60th Birthday. As Time Goes By. 60 was not a bad year for me. The Lord is with you
Thank you Brother Sir!
Happy 60th. Wishing you many many more.
You drove the tires off that thing. I know you did. Jerry and Burt had back up cars. I guess you will need one too. Glad you are safe though!
Thanks my Brudder from a nudder Mudder!

You'll like this. These early Maryland colonial missionaries rejected the enslavement of local Algonquin speaking Potabaco and Piscataway Indians and abhorred the agricultural reality of slavery economics of the tobacco trade and associated enslavement of negro persons. Father Andrew White and Ignatius church parishioners today receive little credit for their to efforts to treat slaves as indentured granting freeman status to similar to the 7 year service for indentured servitude that paid immigration costs from Europe. Times were very tough and the horrific cannibalism of nearby settlement of Jamestown fresh on the minds of these Catholic immigrants and the plight of settlers on their own in the savage frontier as their generosities were abused then lost as the guest Puritans given sanctuary in Maryland from religious persecution conspired with the English then rebelled to seize power and outlawed Catholicism, corrupting its practices prior to the revolution.
What is it I'm liking about this? Been a long day of work and fellowship and I'm not comprehending what you're sharing.
The history of men is rife with abuse, corruption, and profiteering at the expense of others. The written history of that actual history is often written for the benefit of those who rule. I don't take it at face value, but measure it against all accounts where they can be gathered.
There are and were always good people that tried to do right by their fellow men, seeing in others the light and life endowed by their Creator. Every religion has had them. I do appreciate you showing me this, and I hope it is true.
I have never understood the ease or lightheartedness with which people can speak of the death of other peoples, nor why people would claim it as their own victory. It goes against my principles is all. My father and many others gave their lives to the ideal that all men are created equal, but that is hard to reconcile with our history.
Persecution was felt by every sect at one time or another in this country and the ones they left to come here, yet somehow they passed it on instead of making the persecution stop with them. I'm very disappointed in mankind right now and need to take a break for a few weeks, because as much as I love the people He created, what they've done with themselves in this country and others is repulsive. I know what comes next and need to renew some empathy before that happens.
Btw, I don't think indentured servitude is a horrible thing, unless freedom is never granted. I don't see it as slavery any more than a 5 year car loan would be. The principle is the same. If there is abuse of the position of power, that is something else entirely.
Happy birthday!
Thank you Sir.
When people don't have the evidence they just make stuff up and then you hear real stupid BS like "whose truth" or worse.
Good stuff. Might consider delegating/updating/including recent history into Joseph Hedges-3 descendant profiles. About 3/4 of Kentucky settlers came via Boone's "Wilderness Road. The remaining 1/4 (Yours and mine) came down the Monongahela , through Pittsburgh then the Ohio.
Warrior,
How deep the Kentucky roots? You hanker to know?

Rooster - thanks for that link. I’m looking forward to studying what’s there. I’ve relied pretty exclusively on what my cousin researched and posted online for family history. At a glance, this looks like it fits into that narrative pretty well, with some differences.
Good morning D-League. Taking a break in the woods during my early hike. Another beautiful morning in the east.
It’s back to work after that. I hope it is a good day for all of you.
And a belated happy birthday to BBUK.
Let’s hope the Cats get good news on Kofi Cockburn this week, though I’m pretty content with the team with or without him. Can’t pass up a second-team All America if one is available.

Good morning D, read Jeremiah 38
Another beautiful mid-Summer morning in the Buckeye State. About 70 and on the way to 90.
Not much of anything on the docket. Probably find a few things to do outside till about noon and then move on into the inside for the heat of the afternoon.
Snuck up on everybody and read Ch. 38 yesterday. A hot, hot afternoon is good for reading.
Y'all have a good day.

Don't really know how deep. None of the immediate family kept good records that I am aware. Never met my grandparents on my father's side and only met one on my mother's side because my grandmother died when I was 1. All I really know about the history of my grandfather on my mother's side is that he was a train hopping hobo for a long time until he met his wife according to my mother. So, we never really knew much. Started working with my step father when I was 12 (after School and on weekends) and did not see family much as we moved around a lot. No hankering to know really, family did not seem to be a big deal for both sides and did nothing to help out so...
Strange thing is my wife had a similar upbringing with her father leaving her and her siblings at an early age. I had once thought she was a teen but, since her father visited recently I found out he left her and her siblings when she was 8. She and her sisters one older and one younger quit school when they were a few years older to work. They lived in New York at the time pretty much in filth as she puts it with her mother not doing anything after a while so they had to work. Her father came back a few years later for a week or so and impregnated their mother with her brother and left again. He apologized to her and her brother while here recently and has tried to reconcile by offering the brother a new Chevy Silverado (which he wants) and to come live with him in Florida at a nice home he owns. Wife's brother is now 33 (I think) and does not want to leave here. He is on short term disability because of an injury he received at Goodyear with nothing else to go on so...I think he should take him up on it. Wife's mother pulled him out of school in the third grade because he got into a fight and he never went back. She never home schooled him either and a couple of years ago he got his GED so he could get the job at Goodyear.
Crazy families both.
Read Jeremiah 39 & 40.
Walter Brennan had some great recordings but this was his best. When I hear it my mind always goes to my grandpa. He was a mule man and taught me how to plow
I remember following my grandpa or uncle when they were plowing with joe or tom, hoping to get to ride the drag after plowing.Read Jeremiah 39 & 40.

I was too young to learn to plow but did learn lots of curse words.
I loved to ride the drag. Grandpa used old bed springs and it did a good job breaking up the clumps and bringing the rocks to the surface. After all of that was done we hitched up the mule to the wagon and picked up rocks from where we were planting. As a kid I saw all of this as fun. Today, not so much. But the food that came out of that garden was worth every bead of sweat.
Up in Amish Country where the Mrs went last week, the Amish still plow their fields that way.
Around here, the 'Amish', that are actually Old Fashion German Baptist use tractors. Don't have cars...use buggies like the Amish. No electricity....use propane for heating, cooking, and gas lights in the home.
You do see them riding their tractors many times to the store, etc instead of using a buggy. Quicker I assume...climb up, crank it up and go rather than hooking the horse(s) to the buggy. And the younger ones normally is what you see on the road on the tractor.

Good Morning D
Well, we are on watch and Miss Elsa will be paying a visit soon, real soon. But we are ready for her little blow. It looks like she is going to hug the Gulf Coast which will bring her right through my property.
We can expect 3 to 6 inches of rain so people are sand bagging and preparing for rising water. I live West of U.S. 19 which puts me in the mandatory evacuation zone in the event of hurricanes. Our sheriff says they are expecting a Cat 1 when it comes through here but I am not an evacuator so I will stay with my property. High tides should be 4 to 6 feet higher than normal so that isn't a real threat either.
Our temperature right now is 73° with Winds East at 9 mph. That will pick up as the day goes by. Our high will reach 81° this afternoon about 1:00 and then the heavy thunderstorms come. It will be the 4th of July big time as the skies light up. My wife loves this weather.
I trust all is well in your world and if you need a little rain we will have plenty to share this time tomorrow. Bring a bucket.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 75° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This is will bring isolated thunderstorms and a high of 90°.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

I have been contributing to FindAGrave since 2011. I have added 2,893 memorials and 2,954 photos.
I love the site; however, my biggest problem is getting the errors out of the data. Plus some folks put up a memorial that is full of errors and resist edits.
I suggest you join. It is a wonder site and is interlinked with Ancestry. The more folks contributing the better it becomes. I love the feature of going from father to grandfather et.al. through the links to family.

Thanks brother MD55...
Oh, and may your days today be full of life. Take heart, there is still good in this world! God Bless you all...
Morning folks. It is 77.7°F here and mostly sunny on our way to 90°. Yesterday got higher than predicted. I bet we beat 90° today.
Swanee batten down the hatches and enjoy the benefits of the good rain. I hope some of it comes our way.
On mules: I never plowed with a mule as we used our tractor, but dad always used an old mule to till the garden and tobacco patch. We always borrowed Dalfus Garrett's old blind mule. She totaled trusted what you directed her to do as she was blind to the point that you had to direct her away from a hole or something like that as she would trip. Still on mules: my dad was a Baptist Deacon in our church. Another deacon in the same church raised Belgian draft mules. They were big. Mainly anymore, they do not use them in the field but they are strong.

Good morning from Shawanee, TN. Currently 73°F and clear. Expect 87°F for today's high.
Fell asleep on the couch last night around 11 pm last night. Woke up around 3 am. Returned to sleep around 6 am in bed. Thought I'd sleep in.
Daughter and I drove around Middlesboro yesterday looking at property for sale. Comparatively speaking, there's very little. No plans on moving into mom's old house because it's a major renovation project.
I'll drive by Enterprise office around noon or so. Hoping for a good outcome.
Some little kitten outside wants in. Nah, better leave it out.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

To the D, that are reading with me, I am going to start reading just one chapter a day, because the ladies I am reading with are saying they can't keep up with me reading more than one. I have started reading Daniel, so I am reading one then going to Daniel. You watch, a short chapter will come up and I will get a message that says I read 99&100!!!!!!
Thanks 55!

if you get a chance, I would like to know if the Y still exists or has it been infringed to where it is there but doesn't exist any longer as it did or is built-up somehow. My Paternal Grandparents owned property out there. Also were some Carroll's that lived on the Y. It has been a long long time...
I was going to Google-earth it but I doubt even Google earth knows where the Y is...
I knw there are, I find that out regularly as I regularly open the door or hold a door open for my Darling and offer the same to the Lady or Ladies arriving behind her. A Lady wants to be treated like a Lady. The headlines seem to vehemently deny that fact. Even old (Or young) crabby Ladies like to be treated like Ladies.
I drove over to the Gulf and it is a brewing down yonder South of us. It will be here soon.
Sticking on the subject of mules, I saw a bunch of mules growing up when I visited my Pike County grandpa in the 40's and 50's. . During my childhood they out numbered tractors about 10 -1 in those hills.
One of my grandpa's vices was horse trading. Men would gather on the "trading grounds" and drink moonshine and swap horses and mules. Sometimes he would let me tag along. I've seen someone get so crazy they traded all of their living room furniture (including their wife's TV) for a floppy eared mule. But mules and country boys are fading fast away .
Here are a few "Mule" stories with Jerry Clower telling them... I like them all...
You need to copyright that last story and sell it to a country legend for their next great hit. That song nearly writes itself
Excited about the football season approaching. Disappointed the play on the field will take a back seat to something political or pharmaceutical. Hope we can put together the kind of year or better than we should've had last season
Perfect! That's how this works. Sourced evidence matters!
I'm behind but not worried in the oasis.
