Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear. 87% humidity. 30% possibility for pop-up showers. Our high today should reach 98°F.
Called daughter late yesterday afternoon. She said they are receiving some rain from Tropical Storm Ida after a long dry spell. Told her be careful.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and raining here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring thunderstorms, with a potential for flooding and a high of 73°.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

Good morning, D-League!
May you all have a productive and safe Tuesday, and may God hold close all those that you know and love that cherish Him and His son!
Gonna be a marathon of sorts today. Gonna try to make it fun. Gonna try to forget the lunacy of dc while getting my own house in order. Got to set the example since we have no leadership there

Good morning D-League. Beautiful, cool morning breaking in the east, as I watch a Great Blue Heron gracefully, almost effortlessly, skim across the couple acres of a small lake - faster than I can write it.
Thanks to everyone for the prayers and good wishes for my friend. When the time is right, I’ll let him know that there are Wildcats praying for him. If I know him, he’ll respond with something like “If they are like you, I know I’m screwed,” but then say how grateful he is.
Hope u all have a good day.

Did we finally get one!? Cool! Hopefully the new one is not named Joe or Kamala/Camella... whatever.... anyway that's good news
One down, one to go
Another town, one more show

Good morning D-League.
The local weather will be pleasant today. We have 75° and sunny skies and this afternoon will bring cloudy skies with a 15% chance of rain and a high of 85°.
Today the folks who were visited by Ida will be out looking at the damages and many will be preparing to go without electricity for quite some time.
I found working these storms that the days following the hurricane were the most dangerous and for some reason many of our fellow citizens think it is a green light to steal and loot. New Orleans is famous for this and it seems to be hard hit. The motto will be "You Loot We Shoot" I trust the loss of life will not be increasing but I fear it may be because of the heavy rain. Lord be with them.
Stay safe and if you are in poor health our prayers are with you.

A little cooler and overcast in the Buckeye State. About 70 now...heading up to only the low 80s. Chance of showers on one app...none on another. Need the rain bad. Was hoping that Ida would lift a little North than projected but alas, no such luck.
Probably going to be a pick-up, straighten up, put things back in closets and storage, clean the garage day.
Because.....our company flew out last night.....

I have been playing around with Ebay for months now and I have found out you can sell about anything. A couple of items sell really well one being used license tags and Danbury Mint / Franklin Mint diecast car and truck models. 1/24 scale.
I sold this tag last night and will be taking it down to the post office this morning. I had it on my 1969 Chevelle. I kept every tag for over 50 years and had them mounted in my garage. I sold one for $200 but most bring between $25 and $75.00.
I recently sold a "Dukes of Hazzard" Dodge Charger like this for $425.00. I bought it for about $125.00 10 years ago. Danbury Mint does not produce these die casts anymore and they bring some big bucks. I had 340 models at the peak of my collection. I have a little over 100 left.

Prayers for your friend.
Did you ask the person buying it if they were going to paint it? A la Bubba?
I saw Yes, I believe my junior year in high school. 1976 or 1977. Their laser light show blew me away. Possibly the most memorable concert of my life. Now I probably wouldn't be as awestruck today but as a teenager in the 70s it was incredible.

I know y'all won't believe this, but we stayed on top floor of that red hotel in center of picture for three nights in 2007. But on the back side, so no view. We also had dinner on plaza where the umbrellas are, walked down from the top of the hill in background through vineyards, hiked the Cinque Terre trails along the Med Coast between the five towns, and soaked our feet in the water sitting on rocks at the far left side of that picture. Ate breakfast in pink building on left. Gives me chills thinking about it.Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and raining here in Eastern Kentucky.

It's Vernazza. We have a photo hanging on our family room wall taken from up above the church. This picture was taken from the breakwater. can dive off it on sea side & they have steps to climb out.
CT was getting crowded then, and when we went back ~2016, it was pretty jam-packed. Beautiful area. I think I'll put my Vernazza T-shirt on in honor of this.
Forgive me but I am still trying to wrap my thoughts around leaving anyone in Afghanistan. I can't understand. In this picture I am the one on the left and my best Army buddy is to my left smoking a cigarette in a no smoking zone. (He was cutting up and the cigarette was not lit) But that is the kind of personality he had. I know for sure he would have never been onboard with leaving anyone behind. Never. He would have died by your side before leaving. I can't understand this.

What is left of Ida is paying us a call with some good rain (1.68" at the second and it is coming down hard), but the only wind we got was yesterday afternoon. It is a cool 69.4°F on our way to a predicted high 72°F.
Here is best of wishes to our KU buddy with blood cancer. I am 75 and at that age we know what is coming we just don't know what or when.
Yesterday one of my childhood friends and a fellow spelunker died at 74. His sister stood up with us at our wedding. I did not even know that he was sick. Pat Moran. He was good in the tight places because he was skinnier than me.

You reckon'
That home schedule is pathetic. My season tickets cost $5,000 and looking at the home schedule it is nothing but a rip off. I will never attend another UK game and fortunately I have a buyer for my tickets but after looking at this he may back out.
Miles College, Highpoint Junior College and the powerhouse Robert Morris. The loyal fans of UK basketball are left with the scraps of college basketball for home games.
Where have you gone Adolph Rupp, a man who brought in the best every year. Same with Joe B Hall.
It is now up to 2.25" of rain. That means .57" in 20 minutes.
Everyone, Good Morning.
I hope you all are doing well today and I send my prayers and encouragement to all those family/friends who are sick right now, some in bad shape and in need of divine intervention.
The leftovers of Ida started coming over us last night and still this morning. As you know, it rains all the time here anyway, so the last thing we need is a hurricane moving over us. Last evening, we got a squall line, feeder band move through. Winds were nearly 40mph and it was raining in torrential sheets. I had 1.14" inches of rain in about 25 minutes. The rest of the night and this morning has been hit and miss, but so far, the total is up over 2.2 inches.
Football seems to be on the rise, but I won't watch the NFL at all; I may catch a few college games here and there. Our high schools have been postponing games because of many players having the corona19 virus or deemed a "close contact" with others. Krazy!!
Baseball is still fun, watching the Tampa Bay Rays often, since the Braves are "blacked out" in my area on YouTubeTV, we quite often have been defaulted to getting Tampa games; maybe they're considered the next logical southern "regional" team for us?
Anyway, take care and make the most of this day the Lord has made.

Sheez. I got up this morning all chipper and happy and get this alarming reminder?
Good morning D, we have 1" so far and most of that was last night. I kept watching the radar and it looked like there was a wall set up just out side of Muhlenberg, the rain would make it to us then just disappear!
I am trying to get psychoed for my trip to Arkansas, so I fried me some Trout this morning!!!! I found out this morning that, Trout is not the best baled, not good air fried, best skillet fried!!!! Used Andy's seasoning.
About to get ready to start making Christmas ornaments again, cut out some bulbs and bells this morning.
I hope the D, has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!
Democraps sure know how to dance, they dance around just about every question ask them!!!!

Talked with him again today. He is putting on a good face but you can tell he's in that phase where it all seems impossible, not real. Yes, we all know it is coming for us. But to be told, basically, this coming Christmas will be your last one, that has to create a whole different feel to your life.
That was 9:33 am, now at 2:45 it is 2.93". It has slowed down a lot and now it has quit for the moment.
That is a good rain. The farmers are happy and the eaters of food should be happy.
Reminds of me of when Trump gave Rush the Presidential Medal of Freedom a few weeks after he got his diagnosis. To me he looked like he hadn't slept during that time and you could see the weight of the world on him.
Give me either a Mack truck or lay down to sleep and never wake up.
And I spent about an hour outside watering a row of bushes that will probably die if they didn't get some water.
I just received a phone call from Mark Stoops, Head Football Coach of the University of Kentucky Wildcats. 
He said he was working hard. We have a game this weekend. 🏈🏈 GO CATS.

I initiated one of the sacred laws of nature.
Wash your car or water your lawn/bushes and it WILL rain.
Got a gully washer for about a half hour.
Still need more.

Thankfully, Hurricane Ida remnants are soon to leave my area. I received 4.30" inches of rain so far for the last 24 hours. My August total is 18.93" inches of rain.
I wish I could give you all of my rain. 4.3 inches for the last 24 hours and 18.93 inches of rain for the month. I would gladly give you every bit of it.
That is a bunch of rain. Any danger of it getting into your house. Stay safe

On a lighter note, yeah, we all know it is coming but as long as we are happy and healthy enough to enjoy life...Do It. I have those days where I think about it because several of the people I was in the military with and about my age are gone already. My only wish is to stick around long enough to make sure the house is paid off and that my daughter is set in her life before I go. With today's situation in this country, I sometimes have my doubts going forward.
Well, I meant it to be lighter. Turn one up tonight to me and I will do the same for you guys and let's try to be more upbeat because... Football on Saturday.
At the end of every cycle of Drill Sergeant School when I was an instructor there we would take the candidates for a run up Mount Scott the weekend before graduation. 3.2 miles around and around to get to the top and then we would run back down. Was through for the day after that.
Well, I have a sump pump in the back of the house that collects and pumps out water that would otherwise probably find it's way into my basement. I had that happen during Hurricane Ivan years ago, after we had just moved into this house. My poor pump is going off about every 3-4 minutes, working hard to keep up.
I wish some of this rain would find it's way to you then. We've had more than enough here in Eastern Kentucky.
Not seen Dondaddy around for a while. Is he ok?
Hope so. He's not posted in a while. Heard he may pop in when football season starts.
I was told last week the he is fine.
