It's a cool upper 50s this morning and clear. Heading up to about 80. They say a chance of showers but when I look at the weather app and the hourly forecasts...it shows about 10-15% every hour so go figure.

Not much going on today. The Mrs is meeting up with some other ladies who have started a yown beautification committee....so I guess they're working on a project this morning beatifying something. Who knows, but she'll enjoy it...gives her something else to do....and maybe it will benefit the town.
Mowed about all day yesterday so may do some trimming today. Or straighten up the garage (a project I could do everyday...how does it get so messy?...who leaves all my tools laying around?)

Y'all have a good Saturday.

Something that is getting to be a thing of the past is canning. People would can corn, green beans, pickles, hot green tomato kraut, tomato juice, blackberry jelly/jam, etc. One of my favorites was, pickled corn. Fix some soup beans, fried potatoes, and pickled corn, and you had a good country supper. Pickled beans were also good also, but not nearly as good as pickled corn.

We put up a lot of food in jars.......I was doing an inventory on our canning jars yesterday.......we have a mountain of jars......and three pressure cookers.....two for quarts and one for half gallons......in a two season period we put up over 1,300 jars of food..........most of our grandchildren don't even know green beans come in tin cans.....

 

[awf]

I owe some but I could pay it all off so I am good. We have credit cards but never carry a balance, pay them as we go. We keep some assets liquid to assist our kids or buy another property if the opportunity comes around that we like. (Just made an offer on a piece of property a few minutes ago. I hope we get it.)

With credit cards that give you 1-3% cash back.......we keep two cards......we learned a good lesson one time in England.....we only had one credit card and someone at London Gatwick airport stole our number and our card was locked the next day......we was at a very nice restaurant and I tried to pay for a large bill.......for 14 people.....my daughter saved the day and our vacation with a loan..........it still cast a pall over our vacation.....

Good morning from Shawanee, TN. Currently 66°F and partly cloudy.

Planning on accompanying daughter to Ellis Tires in Middlesboro at 9 am. Her car needs a new tire. Leaving SE KY area at 11 am EST. Plan on arriving at Bert's around 2 pm. I may return here on Tuesday, but doubtful. Probably stay in central KY until Wednesday morning.

Been a good visit. Gonna miss it as always.

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

.I was doing an inventory on our canning jars yesterday.......we have a mountain of jars......

A number of years ago during the Winter months I was bored so I thought I would start a project on a room in the basement that is closed off with a door....back in the day it was a root cellar. Knew that there were a lot of old canning jars there...some even had 'something' in them (who knows what and how old)...but the old root cellar was mostly a junk room. Found a bunch of very old, very neat things. Her family history, 1800s newspapers, etc. But there were probably a couple thousand jars. So I started taking the ones that looked the oldest and cleaning them up. Got online and found a number of sites where you could date them, and even how much they may be worth today. So now the Mrs has a number of them displayed around the house.....quite a few are supposedly worth more than $2000 each.

Hopefully finished or at least stops for a few by the time I drive by in a couple hours.

Good Saturday Morning

I read Jeremiah 42

We have sunny skies with a temperature of 74°. Winds are calm. This afternoon we expect a high of 84° with increased chances of rain showers.

Not a lot going on, it may be a good day to dig into the garage and do some more "downsizing". I sold another item on Ebay as I continue to sell off my UK memorabilia collection and sports magazines. I sold a Lindsey's Football Preview this morning with Jerry Claiborne on the cover. A UK fan from Lakeland bought. It was like new condition as all of the items I am selling are. Cawood Ledford had a UK magazine back in the 1980's and I sold one of his publications with Rex Chapman on the cover to a man in Burlington, KY.

I trust all have a great day. Here is Cawood's Debut Issue. I wonder how many UK fans even knew he had a UK Sports Magazine.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 67° and cloudy. This afternoon will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms and a high of 83°.

Everyone stay safe and have a great Saturday.

I have never seen an ugly yown before. But, to be honest, I have never seen a yown.

What the hell is a yown?

They hired some temp-to-hire workers at my job 2 weeks ago, one has already quit, and the other has a foot out the door. Sitting home and drawing unemployment all these months has made people lazier than ever.

I guess it is just pure ego, but I could not do that.

Doing shit like that would really piss my dad off in heaven. Lazy is horrible and inexcusable.

When you go inside the house, tools move around. Grass falls off the weed whacker and mower. Cardboard boxes float through the air and land every where.

It is a cloudy 76.6°F here with a high of 85°F and a 70 percent chance of rain.

Be safe Austin.

Good pick up on those high tech microphones.

Well, if we're going to hear the Stanleys, might as well hear something by the Louvin Brothers, tightest harmonies in any musical genre...

This one brings back some very old and sweet memories

Give the brother Sir a hug for me. (That's how I'd do it.)

May your travel be safe. I could not make my trip. I'd be on the road now to Michigan. The wife and I both are down with something and I will miss my brothers 70th birthday. I am near despondent as it has been too long since I have seen my family. The disrespect I feel I showed my brother is what is hurting me bad by me not being there. The wife and I have had the China Virus shots. My Brother and his wife have not and they were not concerned but my Darling and I made a decision not to chance it. We are both not well. We are still thankful but hurt a bunch. We will make the trip as soon as we are able.

Oh, May God's love encompass you all today to where you can actually feel it. God's love is a powerful touch of true love. May you feel God's touch today! God Bless you all...

Had to be pulled into battle by an M88 during our trek across Iraq. I was on the top of the M88 as we crossed the Saudi-Iraq border. The fan tower on my M110A1 Howitzer froze up in route because of sand. Quickly got it replaced in our first position. Amazing how quickly maintenance can work when you really need to move. Below is my howitzer awaiting maintenance.

Where are all the trees?

Sure looks like the Tetons but suppose it could be a number of places.

That's truth. Recall an HS teacher in 60's talking about how happy he was to be over 50 because he couldn't stand the thought of where the country/world was going and having to live through it.

You can pick your friends. You can pick your nose. But you can't pick your friend's nose.

Yes Sir, when I just got my driver's license I got a job selling filter Queen vacuum cleaners (Part time, as I already had a job welding on Boxcars making good money working nights. (The pitch to get you into selling vacuum cleaners was real good, selling a 1200.00 vacuum cleaner back in 1975 or so was not so much good but...(This was in Detroit)

Anyway, after I completed their "training" I already knew I didn't like it and couldn't/ didn't want to sell them (They have a great product but not at the price. In my mind anyway.) I would not stop until I sold one. I worked at that for I think three or so months before a man walked up to me and asked if I knew where he could buy a Filter Queen vacuum cleaner. (Out of the Blue)... Well, I fixed him up, got my hundred or hundred and fifty or so commission and left that life in the rear-view mirror. God has ALWAYS taken care of me. I went back to my night job full time until I decided to join the Army.

My dad would say, "He's sorriener cyarn (carrion)." I never realized how hard a worker my dad was until I got to thinking about it long after he was gone. He was a coal miner back in the mule and pick and shovel days. He wouldn't even take the commodities all the neighbors got even though he was entitled to them. Black lung finally got him. Died strapped to an oxygen tank.

You see the pick and roll often in offense but not so much as a defensive move.

Didn't we have a short discussion on this board a few days ago about angels?
