Kind of like us. I'll watch old Western on MeTV or stream them. Then we'll stream a Poorly before bed...and that's about it (other than a couple Christian things). Haven't watched networks/cable TV for years.
Definitely don't watch network news anymore. It's mostly Hulu, Netflix, or YouTube for us.

Most will recognize this from the show I'm watching currently:

Anybody else hate spellcheck? As a kid I think I won every Spelling Bee in school. Then as an adult I have some computer/software program correcting me.
We've been streaming Poirot...not Poorly. Geez.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F and clear. 50% chance for some mid-day rain showers. Today's high could reach 87°F. Possibly our last day with highs in the 80s before brutal heat sets in.

Keeping up with Olympics. Otherwise, not much else from my side this morning.

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

Good morning folks. Halfway through my morning walk. Both my younger kids are back under my roof for a while. My son heads back to Lexington in a couple weeks. My daughter is taking a teaching job in Bethesda, Md. for a year —rich half-a-hippie kids at a Waldorf school. She’ll be able to undo some of the nonsense inflicted by their parents so I’m happy.

Hope you all have a good day.

My favorite thing coming out of the sea. (well maybe second to stone crabs) but I do love these jewels. Had a mess of them Tuesday. Oyster season starts in a month down here. Any month with an R

About 4 years ago the state seeded oyster beds in our county with the intention of making them available for commercial harvesting. It takes about 5 years to get an oyster bed up and running and producing. At the present we get ours from Cedar Key.

My darling and I had the best times harvesting oysters and other seafood items. It is fun and relaxing too.
 
Good morning all,

The current temperature is 71° here on the Nature Coast. . More rain is on the way to add to our 6 inches, probably 3 to 4 more inches. Our high should reach 80°. I doubt the lawn gets mowed today but we might have a window where it can be done.

The local radio is all about high school football this morning. It is Big Time around here and the teams are hitting the pads getting ready to open the season in a few weeks. Kick her off Peanut. Stay dry

Morning folks it is a warm 67.8°F here on our way to 86°. It is sunny and our little cool spell looks to be about over.

Well, a Kansas Senator is asking the DOJ to investigate ESPN's part in Texas and Oklahoma moving to the SEC. It has to really pain Kansas to be left in a decimated football and basketball conference.
 
Good afternoon D, taking a break from staining our deck.

Nothing else going on.

Our viaduct in our little town claimed another truck this morning! It's clearly with flashing lights and a sign that it's just 11' clearance, but do they stop, NO!!!! Peeled the top off like a tin can!!!!!

I hope the D has a great day, I have to mow today too, sometimes. Prayers for the D!!!!!

I once read a story about a truck hauling some critical load that got wedged under a viaduct because it was a fraction of an inch too tall. A crowd of engineers and the fire department and mechanics all gathered around and tried to wrench the truck out or shove it through. No luck.

Finally, a ten-year old boy walked up and says, "Why don't you let the air out of the tires?" They did, and the truck slipped through.

Probably a story some writer made up. But I hope it is true.
 
Going to get a ban for something I just posted on the Rafters so I wish you all the best over here. Y’all are good people. I’m so busy during the summer don’t have time to post but I’m always thinking of y’all. You’ve been very good and welcoming to me the last couple of years. I. however, have my limits, as most good people do. I will be back, y’all take care 🙂
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and cloudy. 84% humidity. Today's high expected around 92°F. Muggy meter = gross. We received a little rain yesterday. High remained around 83°F. Nice.

Fifth stage COVID alerts for Travis County been going out via phones and social media. Funny thing is I visited grocery store yesterday and few shoppers wore masks. Makes you wonder.

Happy Friday!

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

Good Friday Morning

Read Amos 1 and 2

We have 73° and mostly sunny skies at the moment. Our high is expected to reach 85° by mid afternoon. We will have the usual lookout for scattered thunder storms and a possible rain.

The word on the street is Biden is going to attempt to cut off funds to Florida to punish DeSantis. I am sure the governor is shaking in his boots. I have some Ebay sales I need to get to the post office and maybe get outside and clean up a few scattered limbs that were blown of trees. Nothing serious, just clean up.

So I trust all are well and we still miss some of the older posters. Sing it Johnny and George

My buddies grandfather drove trucks for a while in his younger days. There was a bridge in the town they lived at the time that was listed about 6 inches higher than it was on account of the road being repaved and rebuilt for years. There was a delivery on one route that, if you could go under that bridge, was about 15minutes faster, so a driver unfamiliar with that bridge decided to go that way.

It does in fact peel the lid off like an old sardine can. Driver was completely covered in pickle juice and such all because the truck was an inch or so too tall. Let the air out of the tires enough to get it unstuck. Made the front page of the local paper.

Well, there you go. The story I read about is true, or at least plausible. Anything that happens once has likely happened more than once.

Happy Friday D_League. I hope everyone has a good day and eases into a fun and, or restful weekend.
 
Good, mid-morning break D-League! H ave a great day and weekend! It's nice and sunny, muggy, but cooler for now, so I'm getting some building done while the other folks are just starting to call. Cuttin rebar and making something useful.

Don't believe the lies you'll hear. No way they can have 74% of Clovis hospitalizations being the vacxed in one town, 60% in another, and everywhere else with democrat leadership they are all unvacxinated. Just not possible.

Somehow, some way, though, they have managed to get a lot of people that haven't been around each other to all show up with symptoms in the same week. Wonder how they can do that when it's so politically expedient? Must be coincidence.

Again, have a GREAT weekend! And if you smell a burnt aluminum smell that dries out your nasal passages when you're outside, put on a good mask, a wet gaiter, or go back inside til it goes away. May God bless those that listen to Him, and may He have mercy on those that don't know Him but are fine people!
 
Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and mostly sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring cloudy skies and a chance of a shower or thunderstorm and a high of 86°.

Everyone stay safe on this Friday.

A friend of our extended Bluegrass family was just there with his wife this summer. That's the only part of our visit to Rome that I have no photos from. Wife asked me to leave the camera at home the day the tour took us there. Totally pissed.... lol. Oh well.

Maybe I will see it again if n when there is some sanity restored to this world
 
Morning folks. 72.1°F and cloudy on our way to 86°. I am praying for rain but 20% chance ain't a lot.

I have seen a couple trucks stuck under overpasses. Often it does structural damage to the bridge. Truckers are usually good at safe practices, but it is hard to get to 100% perfect 100% of the time.

Can you imagine the crap that they have to take when they get back to the dispatcher. :)
