D-League

And this one:

Delta variant. The shark with no teeth for the healthy.
 
Always watched Jaws the week before our family rented a beach house in Delaware for ten days to get in the mood. We did that every summer from the year our first was born til they were both away from home.

I also enjoyed the book. A little different. A little darker. Spoiler alert…in the book the Richard Dreyfus character has an affair with the chief’s wife, then gets eaten by the shark in the end…

Which end got eaten? That can make all the difference
 
Here's the t-shirt BBUK. I don't see how a jeune femme parisienne could be offended. It's just a geography lesson, and has nothing to do with the French refusing to help fight global Islamic terrorism...

The French are offended just having to look at or talk to other people. Rarely have I met a non-judgmental, non-arrogant french person. You invent some toast and fries and next thing you know, your head won't fit through the door
 
Good morning D-League. I’m out walking ahead of the sunrise today, enjoying the cool and quiet.

Busy day ahead but very glad it’s Friday. Our daughter is coming home from her two-year adventure in Austin this weekend, and will be staying with us for awhile. Looking forward to that.

I hope everyone has a good weekend planned.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and clear. Got a few sprinkles yesterday. Possible scattered showers over the next 7 days. We may top out at 96°F today.

Plan on taking my 2-mile hike around 6 am CST. Gotta troll the political thread first.

Happy Friday!

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

Cooler this morning in the Buckeye State with a high later on of about 80..with 50% humidity...so looks like a nice one coming up.
Hoping to get all of the yard mowed today. Doubt I get to either of the fields today which is OK. This time of year with the heat and lack of rain the grass doesn't so fast.
So I'll be busy today.
Y'all have a good day.
 
Good morning D-League. and now for the weather report.

It's currently 75° and the sun is up. Our high will be 84°. Yesterday we had 2" of rain at my house, it was a steady soaking kind of rain that started early and let up in the late afternoon to give us about 4 hours of bright sunshine. Today we have a 40% chance of more rain. We can use it to get that water table up that is a raging river 250' below my house.

I read Hosea 12

I found a picture of Austin pretending to be looking for coins on the beach. I think he had his mind on something else. Y'all take care.

I have had some experience with them and can concur. Unfortunately, my wife is half French. Her father was brought to NY from France as a child by his parents and they stayed. I tease her a lot about being French because of my experiences with them. She puts up with it and tells me it is not her fault. She speaks a little of what she learned from her grandparents but, has lost most of what she knew due to no practice.

Yeah, have to do my husbandly duties today like, take out the garbage, clean and dust the house, vacuum the carpet, and cut the grass. Man, retirement is not supposed to be this busy. ;)
 
It is 81.7°F and cloudy in Smiths Grove now and we are supposed to get to 89°. Still only a 20% chance of rain. We are dry and could use some rain.

I got some of my TV/Entertainment/surround/DVR's thing rewired yesterday and today. It is a nightmare to get into. I still don't have it completed. I have two HDMI connectors in one of my "electronic" boxes and I can't fine them today for love nor money but I had them yesterday. Geeze it is bad to be old and dumb.

You all have a good day. If you can't get frustrated enough come on to my house and I will pull the entertainment center back out and frustrate you to your hearts content.
 
Chief, if I didn’t know better I’d think you’ve been brainwashed by CatinIL. Those illegal aliens from another galaxy just want to enjoy the American dream —not abduct us and take our stuff.

All I know is that just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that they are not all out to get you.

Sure, CatinIL may appear to be a wacko NOW but the day will come when all the scientists will be seeking him out for information about the aliens. And I won't blame him at all when he refuses to come up from his underground shelter to talk with them.

I think CatinIL is ahead of the curve, if anything.

I was watching the 2-3 year old TV series version of "The War of the Worlds" last night, and it's a cautionary tale about fooling around with aliens.

If you haven't seen it, the plot line is that we send out a message to space like a bunch of Cosmic Hippies, including songs of love and peace, and the aliens home in on our signal to come down and kick our ass. After hearing the lame songs we sent, I didn't blame them at all...

Thus the need to broadcast a hefty portion of rap "music."

"Yo, my bro, keep slidin' on past
'Cause you slow down, bitch put a cap in yo a$$"
You feel me?
You feel me?
Befo' you say hey, my ho's big ol' AK
Gonna put a stop to all yo cracker sass."

Was that Mars Attacks! LOL
 
Well, worked out from 0630-0730, ate a quick breakfast, started cleaning the house before 0800 finished by 1000 and then went out to cut the grass. almost 3 hours later drenched in sweat I came back in, showered, and am now rehydrating. Weighed in at 221 this morning but weighed in at 216 after the shower. loss 5lbs of water weight because it was so humid this morning. I did drink along the way but man was it hot.

We are now in a cold wave. It is 1:45 pm and it is only 92.3°F.

I am having to drink Maker Mark at only 1:45pm, things are bad in Smiths Grove.

Beepada beepada that's all folks....

Oh, keep your eyes on God. He watches over you all. Give him praise. God Bless you all...
 
Unlike warrior...I didn't work out. 😉 To me a 'work out' is much too much like 'work'. Plus my Total Gym is put up for a few weeks while the g'daughter uses that room while they're here. There's plenty of room but the Mrs wanted it put up and out of the way...and between her and her little brother they view it as a toy slide...so it's best put up.

Also unlike warrior...I mowed the grass and for the first time in a long time....my shirt was relatively dry when I got done. Started about 8 or so and just got done a while ago. So...not too hot and not humid at all. The way the fronts have been moving the last day or two it may drop the temp/humidity down Bert's way.

I like the new and improved workout machines, you can hang more clothes on them!!!!

I have a couple of total gyms. One in the shop and the other in the garage I can bring in the house when I don't feel like going to the shop. But, this morning was a martial arts workout in the shop. Tomorrow is total gym day.

Still hydrating, on my 4th Ice drink. 2 Peach Mango's and 2 Black Cherry's. Water just sucks. I did have one water afterwards though.
 
It's been a hectic day. We're doing the Grub Hub thing tonight because neither of us feels like cooking. To be honest I've never had a great meal from either Grub Hub or Door Dash. Expensive but convenient. Sometimes you just suck it up. We won't have to worry about dinner tomorrow either. The neighbors are throwing a party and they go all out. Spare no expense. Plenty of food and drink.

I've been a home gym guy since 1974. Mostly free weights with some machines thrown in. I had a gym membership for a year and hated it. Nothing beats working out in the comfort of your own home.

I used to work out a lot till I went in business for myself. I will be 74 soon and still regularly work 70 plus hours a week. I load 100 to 150 pound rolls of material on my sheeter. The bar the rolls fit on weigh another 40 to 80 pounds, depending on which bar I use. Hard work kind of makes up for the sports I can no longer play.

Privacy and less time consuming are the best reasons. I never liked someone else coming up to me to tell me that I need to do this exercise this way because it is the better way. Don't need a personal trainer to motivate. If I can't motivate myself, 400lbs here I come.

That will do it too.

I will be 64 soon (1 Aug) but never quit working out because of my military days. Old habits and all.

Never worked out and never been to a gym. I’m 61 , and starting to feel it lol. Farmed all my life, with tobacco keeping me in shape until maybe 20 years ago. Now, it’s mostly tractor work. And I can tell the difference big time, with the strength and use of my legs. I can see why my parents and forefathers lived so long. Hard work.
