Morning Legionnaires!

Going back to the tire store this morning that I bought new tires from about three weeks ago. Front right tire on my truck is leaking from the stem. Gives me a reason to get out and go to town.

Weather still going to be in the 90's for the foreseeable future. Need it to cool down more. My fishing gets better when it is cooler.

Brats are ok but, I prefer rindswurst. My last assignment in Germany had a snack shack just outside of the main gate that had the best rindswurst that I ever had. Good bread and great mustard (senf).

MAN I still miss those carts. Bratwurst and pomfritz (I know I butchered the spelling but I got my point across.) Just a fine, fine meal. (It was 2 mark 8 while I was there the several times I went to Germany on spotlight tours.)

Oh, I hope all's day goes well. It is raining here. I am locked into my work though but do pull out of the zone from time to time to interject and take a pause before proceeding. Take a pause in your day and take stock of your activities. I know if you reflect you will see God's hand in your day. Be thankful, be mindful, God loves you. God Bless you all...

It is 75.6°F, cloudy and humid. We are supposed to get up to 81°. Yesterday it was supposed to get to 80° but I don't think it got past 78. So hopefully it will be cooler than predicted. We got no rain yesterday, but he 1.96" from Friday and Saturday has really greened things up.

The mess in Afghanistan was not necessary but we are dealing with a dumb President. If he had waited until "fighting" season was over it would have been better. Now the Taliban will round up all "traitors" and kill them. It is a terrible thing and a terrible country with an even worse religion.

Good Monday Morning

Well Mr. Fred missed us but he is headed up Panama City way at 50 MPH. Should bring parts of the Southeast some rain in the next few days. Now we start looking for Grace (the tropical depression) to see what she grows into.

It is cloudy this morning with 73° and will push up to 84° . I have some electrical work to do outside today but we have 60% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon so I need to find that window before I start messing with the electric pump controls.

I read the Book of Jonah

Take care all and keep the faith.

Makes sense to me. Read up on the escapades of a water type situation with Jonah (Lots of water), have some water falling everywhere, and get working on electricity near the water in your mind.

Question? Did you take that post to heart where the dudes were in a pool? Sir....

Is it, you can take the redneck out of the... but you can't take the out of the redneck? Ah er something like that anyhow...

Awe, forget this post...

That would upset anybody. Thankfully she helped out.

Younger one is 17 and was driving. Were coming home from a potential college visit for her. Older one said the younger stayed calm & helpful. Kind of an early unplanned test of maturity I'd say. Waiting to hear more.

 

[vhcat70]

A localized rain cloud over us, mostly on, since 730. But I'm happy for the rain. It can stop anytime now since I think we're pretty caught up over last two days.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Didn't get on here much yesterday. Don't think I posted after early morning and then probably read a few posts later in the morning. Last night got on and read some....and there hadn't been any posts for a number of hours, but no biggie it was a summertime Sunday...people out doing things, etc.
Then this morning posted early and started reading to catch up.....and noticed the gap was now filled with posts from yesterday. Think it was about 6 or 7 hours. Don't remember that ever happening. Anybody notice or have problems?

 

[BBUK]

It has now been a GREAT GREAT day!!!! Thank you Sir!

Forgetting, LOL. I do not work on around electricity near water or lightning. I saw a man killed by lightning, fellow co worker, and it made a believer out of me. I saved these old photo and newspaper articles.

He was running to his car, put the key in the door lock and was hit in the back of his head. Lightning blew off his shoe and busted concrete bumpers.

you were 100% correct. Arizona was one of several states that was fixed before voting started. "America", so they told us wanted to get rid of mean tweeting Trump and put in a shell of a man that can be controlled and led around like a pet dog.

America got what it wanted.

Hey, I'm nearly 78 years old. As Tony Soprano would say, "Whadda ya gonna do."

*I just finished binge-watching 6 seasons of the Sopranos. I was hoping Paulie Walnuts, AJ and Dr. Melfi would get whacked this time but, alas, they survived again.

Sorry BBUK you've been duped by a bogus FB post. That video is obviously fake. Look at all those white folks cheering and clapping for him. That just doesn't happen in 'Merica. Haven't you heard?

Yes Sir.... I thought it may be but a fella can hope can't he.

I have too many songs and artists I like to pick a favorite but these are a couple I really like...

After all these years I very probably know most of their songs by heart. Just good music...

Merle and Stevie...





Some serious talent....(If you just look at the talent!)(Forget their lifestyles...)

Hey there D-League,
We're off to a rainy, humid morning here, about 70 degrees, headed up to only 85 today due to the clouds/rain. We got torrential rains last night, nearly 3 inches of rain in about 2 hours.....and another 0.64 this morning, bring my total up to around 3.4 inches since last night. Now, on top of all that, we have the leftovers of "Fred" coming our way. I hope/pray that it stays off to our east because we do not need another drop of rain around here. Oh, and a few days ago, we also got over an inch of rain in about 30 minutes. I may have to start travelling around here by boat.

It's ironic how some areas are begging for rain becuase it's so sparse/dry, but areas like mine are literally flooded out. I guess I just live in a very rainy area of the country?

Man, what a shame about Afghanistan. A good friend of mine is a retried military man who served quite a bit over there on various missions over the years. He is distraught over the situation. All the hard work, time, effort, and money poured into that country seems to be unraveling in a day.

Well, I hope you all enjoy today, make the best of it, and seek the Lord while he may be found. If you don't know Jesus, I encourage you to believe in Him today. Time is running out.

I was in and out of Afghanistan six or seven times between November 2001 - just eight weeks after 9/11 -- and 2007. I was in a convoy of journalists in November 2001 which was ambushed by the Taliban. Our driver evaded the trap but two cars stopped - and four journalists I had gotten to know, and actually had breakfast with that morning, were killed (no Americans on this occasion.)

I've got probably several hundred photos from there but I'll post just two that pretty much tell the story.

The first one is from Jalalabad the day after Osama bin Laden left there bound for Tora Bora. I'm with some Mujahadeen fighters who were in the hunt for OBL to win a $25 million CIA bounty. These guys were stone-cold killers, but temporarily making nice with Americans (I'm the tall one.) It was very clear they had no interest in any western-style democracy. They were part of a warlord culture. They loved to fight, and would fight for or against the Taliban, depending on how the wind was blowing.

The second one is three years later. It was during an early round of the "Democratic Elections." You can see me, through an interpreter, interviewing some village chief about the election. Me: "Do you plan to vote?" Him: "Oh yes. Everyone will vote." Me: ""For who?' Him "We don't know. The warlord hasn't told us yet."

I knew after the first photo, but certainly after the second, that once we'd shattered Al Qaeda, killed all we could easily, and chased OBL into Pakistan (all done by December, 2001), that every day in Afghanistan after that would be a gigantic waste.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and cloudy here in Eastern. This afternoon will bring showers and thunderstorms and a high of 77°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear. 84% humidity. 40% possibility for rain later this afternoon. Expect topping out around 94°F. Another day with highs below average. No complaints here.

Co-worker out all day today. Hopefully we're not too busy.

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

Good morning D-League.

Well Fred went somewhere and if you need rain I hope he brings it.

Our temperature Is currently 71° with scattered clouds and thunderstorms in the midafternoon. The high is expected to be 85°. Not bad and football season is here locally and that is always a good thing.

I trust all are well and if anyone has news on the regulars who have not posted in awhile let us know.

This is a scene I never thought I would see from our once proud military.

Good morning D, heading out to get lab work done in a few.

Getting closer to being done with my, got about 42 ours in it so far, when I get done I will ask Mr. Bert if he will post some pictures of it for me.

Yawl have a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!!

Got to go fill up a cup!!!!
