Not as many anyway... I have not lost complete faith in today's youth...
My Tanker Buddy is posting a little more lately.
Took this from a Bill Gaither post;
"There's no shortage on God's love..." Thank you!

Sounds like you had a "fun" trip. Thanks.
Pain in the neck getting onto V from main PR. Have cheap ferry service but everything we read is that it's unreliable. So, paid $80 RT per head for 10 minutes flights. Oh well, you only die once.
Good morning D-League. It’s a beautiful, cool, clear and breezy morning in the east. Big storm last night has taken all the humidity out of the air. Perfect walking weather.
As I was watching the sun rise in a patch of woods this morning I noted that a huge number of big trees, maple, oak, birch, have dead, brown leaves at the tips of their branches. Some trees that should be deep green this time of year are a complete patchwork.
Anyone else seeing this? I’m wondering if it’s because we had a very heavy cicada invasion and the little nuisances killed the ends of the branches during their egg laying cycle.
Anyway, I hope it’s a good Sunday for everyone.

That's funny and accurate....but it would be even more so if all the pictures were of blacks doing what we all do on a daily basis.My Tanker Buddy is posting a little more lately.
The is damage from the cicadas in all probability. It is usually only on the end of the branches.
Good morning all. Beautiful morning in the Buckeye State. Mid 60s and like the D.C. area the humidity is lower. Getting up to the low 80s later on.
Nothing on the docket. Might go to the store for a few things, but mostly I'll be on the couch resting the old foot watching The Open. Still swollen but feels much better.
Y'all have a good, safe, and healthy Lord's Day.

Morning folks. It is a cloudy 72.5°F here with a 50 percent chance of rain topping out at 83°. We got a little sprinkle of rain yesterday but not enough to measure. I will take a little rain today if @cordmaker will send some.
My kids are here this weekend so I am one busy dude. You all have a great Sunday.

That’s my guess. The damage is cross-species and very widespread. It’s at the very tips of branches. And we had an extremely heavy cicada infestation. It’s really weird looking. Whole patches of forest look like green and brown camouflage.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 66° and overcast here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly to mostly cloudy skies and a high of 81°.
Everyone stay safe on this Sunday.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and sunny. Expecting 94°F for today's high. More rain expected next week. We'll take it.
Wife is a big Devin Booker fan. Guess Suns lost last night. Bucks lead series 3-2 now. Milwaukee may win the title.
Today's agenda: Plan on knocking out a couple chores followed by grocery shopping and lunch. Get a little rest.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

We rode a UH-60 Blackhawk from PR to Vieques and back. From our vantage point near Puerto Diablo, one could clearly see USVI in the distance.
First time I saw an AC-130 gunship fire was at Vieques.
There's another PR Island that folks visit named Culebra north of V. Much closer to V than St. Thomas - Like 5 miles vs. St. T being 15 miles. Sure you could see it too.
The Mrs asked how many women tried to pick me up while I was at the store....told her that they all weren't interested in an old man with a limp.
My grandpa was 16 yrs old when he went into the Navy.......he lied about his age......he had been in for almost 20 months before they found out otherwise......they let him stay in............1917 was the year......can't get most 16 yr old kids out of bed today........much less sign up for the war......
Talking about enlisting early:

I can certainly relate to being an old man with a limp.
Me too. If you see me you see my cane unless I misplaced it.
I'm bone on bone in my left ankle. Also knee issues on the same side. I'm supposed to wear a special brace for the ankle and knee, but it's hot and cumbersome, so I wear a store bought ankle brace and good shoes and just tough it out. If I fail to think what I'm doing, I fall if I get up to quick.Me too. If you see me you see my cane unless I misplaced it.
Decent movie about a true story of a kid who joined the Navy at the age of 12 (I believe) in WWII.
Stars Ricky Schroeder and is on Netflix. Can probably find it on other (free) streaming platforms too.

Talking about 16 year old soldiers reminded me of this. The main story is about the Woolridge Monuments, but toward the end it talks about an 18 year old who was shot as a Confederate spy. I'd always heard 16, but the story says 18. A large tree fell on the monuments a few years ago and they had to be repaired.

I could watch this all day from The Last Waltz.
Good morning, DLeague!
Hope y'all have good week this week. Made a few posts on the football forum so folks can ignorum. Not even gonna look at RR.
Cancelled all my scrips to these sites, and just gonna sit back and watch rome (the ncaa) burn like it's "sunday night at the movies." What a cluster this country has become. Looks more and more like Russia right before the revolution.
Try posting anything about this being like the bolshevik online and watch your media be shut down in a heartbeat. I got my first taste of that over 6 years ago and decided based on responses that it would fall on deaf ears anyway. It was a better experiment than most and some very fine people did a lot to make it that way (some not so fine people as well).
Enjoy yer Monday!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear. We expect our high may top out around 94°F. Increased rain chances later tonight.
Sigh! No more 3-day weekends or vacations for me until Labor Day.
Monday, Monday.....

Good morning D-League. Cool and breezy in the east.
Heading out with a late start for my morning walk. The weekend went by too fast. Work is a mental grind these days. My wife and I talk about retiring every weekend, but it is just talk. We’ll hang in there a few more years if we have the option.
I hope you all can keep your cool in these Dog Days.

Another cool Summer morning in the Buckeye State. Only low 60s now....one of the coolest Summers I can remember. High today in the low 80s with no chance of rain.
Only bad thing about retirement is that you just get older every day (of course who doesn't)....other than that it's great.
Foot is still a bit sore so I think I'll take another day and relax. Find a couple little projects that don't require walking, running, or kneeling down with the foot bent. But I need to get back at it here soon....grass growing doesn't take any time off, big bushes need trimmed again, etc. Plus the Mrs will want the property nicely mowed/trimmed for when her daughter comes in later this week.
Y'all have a good Monday.

Good morning D, read Jeremiah 50 yesterday and 51 this morning. We are starting to read Hosea also this morning.
Bert we got .7" of rain yesterday, did I share any with you?
Tragedy struck our county this week, a young mother died in a boating accident at Lake Malone, her and her husband were fishing a bass tournament, not sure on exactly what happened, just heard they hit something at night. Just say a prayer for this family, two young children, this is going to haunt him for the rest of his life!!!!
I hope the D, has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!

Very realistic painting.Good morning D-League. It's currently 63° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly sunny skies and a high of 86°.

Nothing at all. Good cloud cover and not a thing.
It is 74.5°F here and part cloudy. Maybe a drop or two today.
A belated thanks for posting 82. A peak moment from perhaps the greatest rock documentary ever. What a brilliant move to alternate verses with the staple singers sandwiched between Levon Helm and Rick Danko.
I know the Band has a complicated, and ultimately tragic story. But for them to have this high point that'll always stand as their signature effort as a group was really terrific.
If only all the great rock groups of the 60s and 70s had gone out in such a blaze of creative excellence.

Just took our pickup truck in for annual inspection. Rainstorms arrived early. We received wind gusts > 40 mph. Truck passed inspection. Good for another year.

Found 98 cents early this morning.
Life is good.

It would get my vote as the greatest rock doc. Incredible list of artists. There was definitely some tension between Levon and Robbie. Levon wasn't happy with Scorsese because the film portrayed Robbie as the band leader plus he got a majority of the spotlight. Still a hell of a concert.
82 - Have you watched the documentary "Once Were Brothers?" It's heavily weighted toward Robbie Robertson, who, of course outlived, the other guys except for Garth Hudson, so he gets to influence the history. But if you love the music The Band produced in those years it's still worth a look.
Here's the trailer:
