Good Saturday Morning D
Read Hosea 13. God was very angry.
On to our daily weather report: The current temperature is 74° with winds South West at 12 mph, our humidity is a very pleasant 95%. Our high will reach 87°. We have not hit 90 this summer but we are getting close. I notice our temperature is often less than up North but the thing that gets folks not use to our area is the humidity.
Humidity is a deal breaker but if you want to really get in shape work outdoors in this weather. It will take the vinegar out of you so you best have a bucket or water close by. You are going to sweat boy sweat, "drop down and give me another 50 as we use to say in the Army".
OK enough of that. My wife is meeting our daughter who lives in Ocala for an appointment to have their hair done. The woman who does their hair was a childhood friend of my daughter and her mother and my wife are best friends.
I am going to piddle around, maybe take in some outdoor markets around here and hit the pool. I will figure it out with another cup of coffee.

Wife wants to go shopping today and buy me lunch and my B-day present that I pick out at Academy Sports (more fishing gear). Sundays are her relaxation days so instead of celebrating Sunday (the actual day), we are celebrating today. Hers is Tuesday so, I will pamper her tomorrow but, still prepare a little surprise for Tuesday.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 66° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will be overcast, with rain showers at times and a high of 82°.
Everyone stay safe on this Saturday.

It is 70.7°F, cloudy and supposed to top out at 86°F. That is better than most days this week.
Happy Birthday Warrior Cat.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and sunny. We're expecting today's high around 95°F. Slight rain chance.
Happy Birthday Warrior! Wishing you many, many more.
Also wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-Leaguers. I hope all us well with you.
It's a cool, beautiful morning in the east.
I heard from an old friend last night, and thought some of you -- former military and those of strong faith -- would be interested.
Col. David Eberly was the highest ranking American POW of Desert Storm. He was shot down over Baghdad in the early days of the air campaign in January, 1991. His family initially thought he was killed. But he survived nearly two months in very tough conditions, enduring some rough treatment by the Iraqis.
I had interviewed David at the Al Kharj air base in Saudi Arabia just a couple days before he was shot down, and had written a full story on him and what he was expecting from combat that was published in The Washington Times. His family saw it, and he later told me it gave them comfort during the time they assumed he was KIA. So we have stayed friends for 30 years.
He wrote a book called Faith Beyond Belief about those days. It talks about how his Christian faith got him through everything. He was kind enough to reprint the profile I'd written in the book. I'd recommend it to the D-League veterans and men of faith.

Thank you , I look forward to reading it.
I think you'll like it Sawnee. David Eberly is the real deal when it comes to American heroes. And he has the Right Stuff - his book is a matter of fact portrayal of what he went through, in which he gives all credit to God for seeing him through.
We talked last night about meeting up soon over in Arlington, Va. I hope that comes to pass.
I quit working at 64 because of my old habits and all.
B4 I forget: Happy Birthday !!
That's a lot of smoking.
I retired at 53, but ended up working a political job for 10 years.I quit working at 64 because of my old habits and all.
Happy early Birthday. Enjoy!
I was not near my computer most of yesterday and I cannot do those type things on my phone. (If there is a way I don't know it, yet..) Anyway Sir... (It seems they have the link blocked from past days but you can click on the below...)

If you all "take a notion", give Ole Cowtown Cat a vote... (It will serve two good purposes.)
Semi-Finals GonzoCat90 vs. CowTown Cat
Welcome to the All-Time College Basketball Playoffs for the last 20 years. (2001-2021) *As long as they played in 1 game that year they are eligible* The objective was to build a team of 10 players that would win head to head vs your opponent such as March Madness.

Bumping for CTC (He did not ask me, I volunteered.)
Do me a favor. If you visit the cemetery place a penny on this tombstone. He was KIA and it really was a sad day for my mother and her family. He was a good boy and in a way, I am thankful he did not see what happened to the U.S. military. I want to think he did not die in vain but I am not so sure now. RIP cousin, some of us still care.
He was ahead the last time I checked
He is it seems but a beat down is in order. I hope he gets it. Thanks Sir! (CTC's been good people for a lot of years.)

Wow. I know the pain from a loss like that never goes away Sawnee. I’ll keep him in mind when I next visit Arlington Cemetery, a place I try to get to often. My FIL, a Korean War vet, was interred there just before Covid, and we need to go pay respects to him soon.Do me a favor. If you visit the cemetery place a penny on this tombstone.

While you are there look up Archie Daine Borden.
"Archie Daine Borden Navy Commander:
Archie Daine Borden, a retired Navy commander, died Wednesday (July 12, 1989) at his Fort Worth home. He was 62. Funeral will be at 3 p.m. Tuesday at Fort Meyers Chapel in Arlingon, VA. Military graveside service will be in Arlington National Cemetery. Harveson & Cole Funeral Home in Fort Worth is in charge of the arrangements."
Daine was one of my childhood hero's from my family. His sister was my Aunt Loy and wow what times we had him telling me about flying off an aircraft carrier. He launched all my dreams of becoming a pilot.
Sounds like a true hero Bert. I spent a few weeks on the USS Saratoga in the Red Sea just before the start of the Desert Storm air campaign. Those pilots - a few of whom were soon to be shot down and killed or captured - were impressive young men.
Drink two Yuengling's, then watch this. I dare you to not do what I did. (Nah, you don't need the Yuenglings, will probably do what I did anyway.) 3:24

Funny thing this morning before going out with my wife. My 15 year old daughter came up to me and ask that when we get back could I take her out somewhere to get her mother a birthday card for tomorrow. I said sure but we could do it on Monday easier with her not here. She says: "Yeah but her birthday is tomorrow" I said: "No, mine is". A blank look came over her face and then reality hit. She then says: "Well, we have too many birthdays in August and I can't keep up with all of them". I said: "True and don't be ashamed, I am not offended". My brother has one on the 19th, a grandson on the 21st and a granddaughter on the 30th as well. She has been grumpy all afternoon now. Had me laughing and she said: "Dad, it ain't funny".
Never Been This Homesick Before...
A near generation behind. This is a driver issue now. can't tell you how many I see texting and driving in that order. Forget if you are at a red light hoping to get through it. Someone will be texting instead of driving and leave you behind them at the light again.

Had a great day mostly free of media and the internet. Weird how much better my mood gets the longer I don't hear or see people trying to increase my rage response.
Last bastion of such is the D-League. Hope the entire D-L had a great day today and have a great start to their week tomorrow!
I miss block parties and potlucks. Families getting together to help their new neighbors paint or lay sod and such. Those are days long gone I suppose, but 2 old neighbors helped me without anybody asking this past week and reminded me of those days.
I've done a lot of helping without asking for nor receiving it in return. It is humbling to receive it. I'm thankful to God for it and for those of like character who give it to others.

Around here, texting and driving isn't so much the problem, it's them not knowing their left from their right. Too many people drive in the left lane forcing people to have to pass on the right. When you pass them, they have that jackass eating briars look.
Good morning D, been a rough night, awake since 2:30, cool outside on the deck this morning with coffee.
Read Hosea 13 yesterday and 14 this morning, I guess it's on to Joel.
Our church has cancelled services for a week, I think it's 6 churches in our county that have cancelled now.
I hope the D has a great LORDS' DAY and Prayers for the D!!!!

Good Sunday Morning
Read Hosea 14-Repentance
We have a typical day in store, it is 74° and sunny and our high will reach 87°. Afternoon showers are forecast and we should have a nice Gulf breeze like yesterday. There is no activity in the Gulf that I saw reported.
Today in church is Back to School Day. The church gives all of the school age children a back pack with all of the supplies they will need for their class grade. It is a tradition that has gone of for many years. No masks will be distributed though.
I trust all have a great and safe day. I noticed many old posters are absent for one reason or another and I trust it is not because of health issues. May God bless all.
