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. :)

They probably don't do much more than pick up their check.

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.

This must be the jokers who I used for my last move. They tore up half of the load in one way or another. They also lost a lot of it, or stole it. It was a nightmare and I am still fighting over it.

I moved furniture, nationwide, every summer of my college days and we had pride and took the extra step not to break something. Some people do not have that same type of concern in today's world.

My son lives in Gainesville and works for the Gainesville VA, he has been giving my daughter here a lot of crap about working with china virus infected people just about since this started. (He went way over the top in stuff he stated. I had to shut him up a few times.)

Anyway he text us last night that he is getting floated to a china virus unit to work starting today. (He has been vaccinated but boy has his attitude changed.) My daughter thankfully didn't rub it back at him as he went way overboard in smart remarks to her about moving to Florida. (I agree with the moving to Florida but he was way too callous with his words toward his sister.)

I was tempted to smack him down a little lot but they are my babies. 30, 36, and 37.

Good Friday all. Been busy. Took the little guy fishing yesterday and then had to start mowing, trimming, etc on the property. Got a good number of people coming over Sunday. B'day party for the g'daughter that the Mrs and her daughter are putting on. Won't mention the number of folks coming over (parents with their kids) in case the 'president' monitors this board and sends in the storm troopers.
Will be tons to eat (thank heaven that so far I haven't been told I have to man the grill). And some blow-up yard toys and a giant water slide...company coming tomorrow to set that all up in the back yard and perhaps one field.
All the kids coming don't know the g'daughter....but when you're 8-10 years old, who cares. Kids can make friends in a matter of minutes. Wish adults were like that.

Time for a warrior-cat fishing report. OC and the little guy 2....fish population 2 (the ones that got away).
He caught a nice little 10-12 inch bass so it made the trip for him. He was excited...so it was worth the time.

Bert, if by chance you get any rain and you have a little left over, try to sent it North. It is so dry up here. Can't hardly remember the last time it rained. Was like a dust bowl while mowing. Amazing how your nice, beautiful green grass can turn to straw.

We have had around 10 inches in the recent days and as I was getting out of the pool a few minutes ago I noticed how green everything was and how lush. It is amazing what a little rain can do. You can water and water and water but nothing makes it as green as God's rain.

It reminds me of a little tune written by Johnny Cash.

Has anyone in the D League seen our Rooster or heard from him? He is missed. Any word from you cousin, Bert?

I put this on the political board but it is good enough to share with the D. I actually saw this ad on TV and thought it was a joke. So I googled it and sure enough this is real.

Woka-Cola. Be less white and drink woka-cola and die of diabetes. What an ad.

Local distributor of croaka-cola is an ash. Will not allow Ale-8 to be dispensed/fountain at any location they have their fountains, so everybody has been dropping them. Helps me not drink their trash (even though it was my favorite soda). Screw em

Quick word- My friend's sister is a teacher and posted a news meme for their district on Fakebook. He thought it said "Teachers, pick up your Class Roosters on Monday at the faculty meeting"

He was informed gently that it said "roster" but not before embarrassing himself with his post

The world has definitely changed in that regard. I have a long story about helping some friends move because the "moving company" he hired sent two lazy idiots who could NEVER have packed a truck before. The truck was plenty big enough for the size truck he got, but they didn't get half his stuff in there and were sitting there smoking away the last hour he was paying them for.

I unloaded half the truck and reloaded it while he was on the phone trying to rent a 2nd truck for his drive to NY. Good thing his brother accidentally left town with my friend's wallet, or he'd never have called me to help. Saved him a thousand bucks at least.

Most moving companies suck

Strange event tonight. We bought a nice bottle of wine for our niece's housewarming gift tomorrow. It's gone. We had it sitting on the kitchen table and it's vanished. Checked out the front door video, no activity. Hope the spirit or thief enjoys. Oh, the door was locked.

Morning Legionnaires!

Uneventful day on tap. Weather will be upper 90's possibly 100 plus degree. needing weather to cool back down so I can get after that elusive bass again.

Looking seriously at home schooling my daughter (sophomore) this year and beyond if necessary. Lawyers say Oklahoma's HB1775 bill against teaching racism does not mention CRT specifically. It does however state that teachers cannot teach that a specific race or sex is inherently racist which is what CRT teaches (lawyers always trying to get around the issues). The largest teachers union in the country has set aside money to defend any teacher that teaches CRT in states that ban CRT citing that the truth must be taught. Me and my wife do not want to leave anything to chance. My daughter has expressed that she would be on board to be homeschooled if we decided to do it. There is a reason our country has dropped in the rankings in education in the world. Many of out teachers have become indoctrinated in the system of propaganda and not reality.

Good morning folks. Just back from a 5-mile run. Knees holding up for now. I promised to be on our company team as a DC event in late September so I have to last until then, and can blow it off after that.

Glad to see the USA team win the gold, mostly because of the three Cats on the team. Irritates me that guys like Steph Curry and LeBron James blow of the Olympics, but much respect to Kevin Durant and everyone who represented.

Small cookout today with son and daughter and some friends in attendance, so it'll be a nice summer day. Hope the same is true for all of you.

Below is a quote by the OKC Public Schools Superintendent before Gov Stitt signed the bill which is why we are looking at home schooling.


Oklahoma City Public Schools Superintendent Sean McDaniel said the bill “appears to be a solution looking for a problem which does not exist” and encouraged Stitt to veto.

“We have teachers across the district who we trust to make decisions — sometimes life and death decisions — on behalf of our students each and every day,” McDaniel said in a statement. “Surely we can continue to trust our educators to guide these difficult yet necessary conversations with our students inside of their classrooms.”

Plus, some of the school boards say that it does not necessarily mean they cannot teach some form of CRT. TRUST he said. No sir.

Hey don't laugh...they researched it....

Oh,. God Bless your day in Jesus' name.

Made a nice mess of biscuits this morning. My oldest just hollered out with her mouth full...."Dad, these biscuits are good."...

(Edit: My oldest is classified as a Doctor. they treat her like one being a CRNA.)(My Doctor Baby Girl still likes Dad's biscuits.)

Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and partly cloudy. High today topping out around 95°F.

Wife watching replay of Australia vs Slovenia in Bronze medal game. Aussies playing good ball these days. I'm heading out for a walk after bit and then returning for a few chores.

That's all for now. Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
