I might have to question this one. Yeah we have some good BBQ but there's a lot of cities out there with better Q. Bertfan, maybe we'll try one next week. Feast in J-Town?

Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and clear. Calm with 70% humidity. Our high today should top out around 100°F. We hit 101°F yesterday, but low humidity made a huge difference. I barely broke a sweat during late-afternoon walk.
I've got nothing else.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

Good morning all. Well I guess Fall is slowly creeping in. Feels like it again. 54 out now heading up to 74. The last few days have been the type I like....not too hot with little humidity. Unfortunately you only get a few weeks of them...in the Fall and in the Spring.
Not much going on today. May start the mowing process. Getting to the point where I may get by with mowing the fields one, or maybe two, more times. The yard will be more.
Y'all have a good day.

Did not know about the 55th anniversary but, I have been watching the movies last few days. Watched the pilot episode of the old series where Jeffery Hunter was captain Christopher Pike and this young lady was his love interest yesterday. Beautiful eyes

We have had so many June bugs this year (July and August) that when I went outside during the day I thought they were remaking the movie Independence Day in miniature and I walked out during the alien space ship attack scene.

Susan Oliver. Another who died young...58.Prayers for your daughter and granddaughter sent.

Was one of the world's most accomplished female pilots....
Oliver experienced an event in February 1959 that underscored her later aviation accomplishments. She was a passenger aboard Pan Am Flight 115, a Boeing 707 on a transatlantic flight from Paris to New York City when it dropped from 35,000 to 6,000 feet (10,700 to 1,800 m). It was February 3, 1959, the same day Buddy Holly died in an airplane crash. These events caused her to avoid flying for the next year, even turning down job offers, with the exception of auditioning for BUtterfield 8, if they were so short notice that she could only travel by air. She eventually underwent hypnosis to overcome her fear of flying.[10]
In July 1964, local Los Angeles area news anchor Hal Fishman introduced her to personal flying when he took her on an evening flight over Los Angeles in a Cessna 172.[10] The experience motivated her to return the next day to the Santa Monica Airport to begin training for a private pilot certificate. In 1966, while preparing for her own transatlantic flight, she was a passenger in a Piper J-3 Cub when the pilot ran into wires while "show-boating";[10] the airplane flipped and crashed. She and the pilot escaped injury.[11]
In 1967, piloting her own Aero Commander 200, she became the fourth woman to fly a single-engined aircraft solo across the Atlantic Ocean and the second to do it from New York City. Although she was attempting to fly to Moscow, her odyssey ended in Denmark after the government of the Soviet Union denied her permission to enter its air space. She wrote about her aviation exploits and philosophy of life in an autobiography published in 1983.[10]
In 1968, she was contacted by Learjet to see if she was interested in obtaining a type rating on one of their jets with the intent to set record flights for them. She earned the rating and even flew some charters (having by that time acquired a commercial pilot certificate in single- and multiengined land airplanes), but did not fly any record flights in their jets.[10]
In 1970, Oliver co-piloted a Piper Comanche to victory in the 2760-mile transcontinental race known as the "Powder Puff Derby", which resulted in her being named Pilot of the Year. The pilot was Margaret Mead (not the famous anthropologist), an experienced pilot who had flown in several derbies with different co-pilots. In 1972, her training for a glider rating was chronicled for an episode of the television series The American Sportsman, and the segment aired in March 1973.[12]
Heard a joke last night, guy is always getting drunk, so he tries to slip in one morning about 2, slips in the house, goes to the bathroom looks in the mirror, his face is bloody , so he cleans his face up and decides to put band-aids on his cuts, slips into bed thinking he had made it ok. Wakes up the next morning and the wife says, you were drunk again last night wasn't you. He asks how did you know? Her reply was there are band-aids all over the mirror!!!! Well it was funnier last night when I heard it!!!
Good morning D-League. Thanks to Warrior and Colonel for bringing up Susan Oliver, who a lot of boys my age (8-14) had a crush on in the early 1960s. I didn't know the fascinating stuff about her piloting exploits.
But I did remember one iconic role -- The Green Girl from early Star Trek. Man, was that weird and hot to me when I was 10 or 11 or whatever.
I looked it up - it turns out someone either did or is trying to make a documentary about her, which would be worth a watch. Here's a trailer..

That’s what my wife calls them. Good morning D League. Been awhile since I have checked in and thought that since football season has begun, I needed to renew my membership here. Hope all the regulars have been doing well. I know 2 persons that have died from Covid, in the past month. Neither was vaccinated . If you choose not to take the vaccine, please mask up and be careful.
Good morning D-League.
Hard rain and more hard rain that may end around 9:00 AM. It's currently 74° and a high of 83° is expected.
Trust all have a nice day. Beware of illegals in your neighborhood.. They are everywhere.
Local news comes from Duke Energy's $540M takedown of our defunct 860-MW Nuclear Power. It is decommissioned and work to dismantle was started last year on October 1. It is ahead of schedule. I am Pro Nuclear Power and think this is a huge mistake. But I have no say and politicians do.

Welcome back Ben, you were missed. Now we need Wildcat Don back, I trust he is OK
Wow, that sounds pretty rough. We've had two people from our church family die in the last two weeks from Corona and many others hospitalized.
Just south of you, the Gulf waters look more choppy and "wavy" than ususal.....Good morning D-League.

That's a great point Sawnee. If you want to name ONE PERSON who the lefties should be blaming for what they see as ruinous Global Warming it'd have to be Jane Fonda. The movie China Syndrome with its ludicrous claims about the dangers of nuclear energy -- and Fonda's subsequent loud-mouthed activism -- helped greatly curtail a promising source of relatively clean power.Good morning D-League.

Lots of white caps on the waves. We are experiencing hard rain now. The marshes to the West of me will be full by tonight. My lake is way up and that is a good thing too.Just south of you, the Gulf waters look more choppy and "wavy" than ususal.....

I was going to run down to Clearwater to pick up a desk my wife bought but I don't want to get my pickup wet so I will put it off until tomorrow.

I was going over UK's football schedule and they have a murderous stretch beginning Oct. 2nd. Florida, LSU, UGA, MS State and Tennessee. Ouch!!
She certainly managed to do a lot of damage to this country with her America-hating ignorant, silly, immature antics.Traitor.
3-2 in that stretch could well put the Cats in a very good Bowl game.
We had one at church die of a heart attack with Corona but I believe the cause on his death certificate was Corona. It was his second heart attack and this time it was fatal.
He was a fantastic guitar player and his grandfather played in Glen Miller's band. He was also a very nice person and strong Christian.
Morning folks. It is 69.4°F on the back porch. At 6:10 am it was 56. Fall in on its way.
Good to see Ben back. I understand that Don is trying to get back on.
I hope that UK football takes another step up this year. I have enjoyed the last two years and with just a little luck they could be really good this year.

Lunch break while mowing. Absolutely gorgeous day out! But heard the forecast while mowing and the heat and humidity will make a comeback this weekend. But that's OK...still better than what awaits.
Speaking of nuclear plants...may have mentioned this before, can't recall. Remember back in the day when I had an appointment at the Savannah River Plant (built in the '50s to refine nuclear materials for nuclear weapons). Huge facility. Highway ran right thru it and there was a checkpoint on either end and you only had a certain amount of time to get from one side to the other unless you had clearance to stop...which I did. One of the smokestacks of the nuclear facility (there were several) where I was meeting with some people had green smoke coming out of it. Weird.
Talk to Bertfan1. He knows his shit when it comes to nuclear stuff.
Full Men's BB schedule is out. Go Cats!
Hehe! I was trying to figure out what the hell "O", "N", "D" and "J" meant. Then it hit me. 75 years takes away your ability to think!Full Men's BB schedule is out. Go Cats!
Geeze! ! ! !

@AustinTXCat would you mind calling Don later and walk him through the get back on process. He's stuck in a loop and it won't let him come back. He forgot his original password. Thanks.
I have to get some string for my weedeater but I keep forgetting it when I go out. Don't know what the problem could be...hmmmm...
I can easily see us beating all those teams with the exception of UGA. None of them are gimmies, but we shouldn't limit our thinking based on teams of the past. You will have to go way back to find a team as complete as this one.
Size on the lines and plenty of speed and experience at the skill positions.
Accept Prosperity! Eschew Obfuscation!
I'd call him, but no longer have a valid number. If you have it, then send to Bert and I'll get from him.
I'll just text it to you. Oh, what the hell, he doesn't mind if everyone calls him...

Got it. I'll call him tomorrow.
We call these things Georgia Thumpers and they are bad news. And they are huge. They can wipe your garden out over night. I remember my grandma would take a pair of scissors to the garden and cut them in half. Or stomp on their head
