More Johnny "The Pride Of The Southland - General Lee"
I absolutely LOVE his music!
I met Johnny and June in the Atlanta airport back in the eighties. The oldest kid was about 12 and the youngest about 4. Johnny and June went in to the VIP lounge and created quite a buzz in the boarding area. The oldest didn't know who he was, but knew he was a significant person, so she wanted his autograph. She literally sat in the doorway so she wouldn't miss him when he came out. When he came out, she was awestruck and couldn't speak or move. He had to step over her. By the time we rounded up the three kids, we were the last people to board the plane. Johnny and June loaded with us. Johnny was nice, but quiet. June was a real chatter box. Seemed like good people.
I've been watching the Reelz channel episode "Johnny Cash: Road to redemption" Good stuff.
In places like Portland and Minneapolis, they call these riot shutters.She is coming. Elsa will be paying a visit so I made preparations for her. We are up to "Hurricane Warning" now and the storm is projected to land in my county, about 60 miles North of Tampa She is going to hug the Gulf Coast from the Keys to the Big Bend.
There is a light rain currently and wind gusts were strong earlier but clamed down. It should be an interesting evening as they pick up again and are sustained. All of the action will be during the night. They just mentioned winds should top out at 75 mph .
When the forecast is for 100 mph or greater winds I put these metal storm shutters up. Elsa is not getting anywhere near that so I didn't mess with them . These metal panels slide into the slots above the window and are bolted down. By having your house "hurricane proof" you save a bunch on your home insurance..
I few weeks ago when it was dry and no rain in sight I said it is coming and now she is here. Batten down the hatches boys
Looks ALIEN to me...
Doesn't everything look alien to you? Just kidding.
Man I hate spending money on plumbers. Necessary yes but DAMN! 1,000 bucks on a funky problem and it might not resolve the situation. We're talking about tearing down walls kind of solutions. Fingers crossed.
There is a lot of things I wish I would never hear again,
This is the one I hate the most, guy tee's off on a 777 yard par 5 and someone yells " get in the hole"!!!!!!

Sigourney Weaver wouldn't do Aliens 3 if there were guns in the picture. Go figure. I think she was a co-producer.
Some, not all, 50s and 60s architecture I still like. Probably because my Dad and Mom, when I was going into the 4th grade, bought a house that was a State of Ohio show home in cooperation with the power company in the late 50s. Couldn't be sold for a year in that is was an open house everyday. Really neat house with a lot of bells and whistles that were either not available yet, or were in very few homes. I remember one time shortly after moving in, the garage door was open and a delivery man or somebody came into the garage and you could hear him yelling. We thought someone had died or were injured. Ran to the garage and the guy was in total shock. The garage door opener button was next to the door leading to the house and he thought it was a door bell....so when he hit it he had a shock with the garage door going down. I'll never forget that.

If one of you could get a picture from there!

Absolutely no comparison (that is one beautiful golf course cord) but the course at Stone Mtn Park outside Atlanta has some beautiful holes with the mountain as a drop back.....
One reason I absolutely loved golf when I was younger. The beauty of just about any course...the quiet...the birds chirping....just loved the whole experience.

Just make sure it includes something about mama, or trains, or trucks, or prisons, or getting drunk.
Yeah, you can call that work!
Thanks BBUK!!!

Good morning D-League. Warming up in the east. We’re going to see mid 90s again.
My walk this morning had taken me on a path behind one of those suburban chicken coops cropping up near cities. Then about five minutes later I noted a lean red Fox darting through the trees heading in that direction. It’s possible an age-old drama is playing out.
I hope it is a peaceful day for the D-League.

Good Very Wet and getting Wetter Wednesday Morning
Our temperature right now is 71° with Winds East at 39 mph. We are still in "Hurricane Warning Mode" but I seriously doubt if it comes to shore as a hurricane. It is still dark outside but when the morning breaks I will check for any damages during the night. I imagine coastal flooding will be the big issue. The lake and marshes behind my house should protect me from that.
We still have electricity so that is a good sign. I will leave you with this, go get another cup of coffee and have my devotions.

Seems a bit more humid this morning at 71 in the Buckeye State. Heading up to the mid to high 80s.
Glad to hear that things seem to be OK @Sawnee Cat. In reading the weather updates it seems to be breaking up and like most times, the pre-storm buildup in the media didn't match the actual events. I never remember a weather event being a major/top news story when I was a kid. Now, whether (ha...play on words) it be hurricane, t'storms, snow, rain.....its nonstop with the media.
Have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do today...and that's a good feeling. But....I'll find something.
Y'all have a good 'hump day'.

The National Weather TV networks really do hype a storm and exaggerate probably to increase viewership. I don't watch them. Elsa is breaking up off the coast in my area and is headed for land around Cedar Key.
When preparing for a storm we always tune into a local station. Bay News 9 covers up to our area and they are good and most of all truthful and factual with reporters in all locations.
We can always use rain and this one seems to be bringing lots of that. But if winds can remain in the Tropical Storm range all is OK. Since I woke up winds have decreased to the 30's. I don't have any trees down. We have had 8" inches of rain and expect another 4" today. That will saturate the ground which makes trees more vulnerable. My land can handle 12" with no problem so I do not expect flooding or downed trees.
Good morning from Shawanee, TN. Currently 67°F, humid and partly cloudy. Slight chance for showers. Today's high may reach 81°F.
Visited Enterprise car rental yesterday. 1 car available, but I declined because too small. Neighbor and I fixed the rental car. Dust shield on left rear brake caliper somehow got bent in, thus making noise. Neighbor bent the shield out through the mag wheel. No more noise.

Plan on grabbing breakfast in a few.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D, read 39. I watched the golf match last night, enjoyed the scenery last night as much as the match. I did like the way they laughed and joked with each other!
I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!!

This is what Miss Elsa looks like as it hugs the coast. She is North of me now and the weather station at Cedar Key reported 65 mph winds. She expected to hit landfall soon. Elsa never quite got organized enough to create an issue.
The games start way too late for me, but I was glad for Devin Booker to see the Suns win game one of the NBA finals. I was an NBA fan roughly from Oscar Robertson and the Cincinnati Royals through the Bird-Magic era, then it starting getting less and less interesting for me.
When the local Wizards signed John Wall, my son was about ten -- the perfect age for a boy to enjoy the NBA. I started taking him 2-3 times a year to see Wall match up with other Cats in the NBA. We saw just about everybody from Kentucky's teams in the League over the years, and it was great fun for my son. In the early Wall era Kentucky fans wearing UK gear would flood the Wizards games, and we'd walk around at half time just high-fiving fellow Wildcats.
That has faded away now. We still grab a game or two a year, but my interest is down to rooting for one or another ex-Cat to get a ring every season.

The NBA has lost a lot of viewers over the past decades. They are doing little to get fans back. If it were not for China money they would really be in trouble.
Interesting enough around here the Tampa Bay Bolts NHL team is much more popular than college or NBA basketball. They are going for their second straight Cup tonight

Howdy D-League folks. It is 78.1°F here and supposed to be on it way to a humid 83° with a 60% chance of rain. I am disappointed in @Sawnee Cat not sending his more than adequate rain up this way! 😁 I think he is hording it.
It is good that the winds are down Sawnee. Plus I sure enjoyed the conversation yesterday.
Austin is one of those guys that take matters into hand. If the mountain will not come to Muhammad then Muhammad must go to the mountain.
You all have a good day. It is filter changing day for me. Filters in the heating/cooling system and the fridge.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 80° and overcast. This is will bring a mix of sun and clouds, with a thunderstorm possible, and a high of 88°.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

Well me and my buddy, a blue heron, were out back checking the lake a few minutes ago and we can spare a little water. Bring a bucket or better yet a water truck. We have 10 inches and counting, should make it to 12 inches by this afternoon.
A walk around my property shows no storm damage so my little preparation paid off. I am thankful I did not go into full hurricane mode because that takes a lot of work. I have a lot of glass and openings to cover.
The rain will keep the grass green.
The Big Blue Heron has been joined by his white egret friends. When we have a nice rain it provides a feeding grounds for our feathered friends. The Blue Heron is a regular visitor during the summer months.
