When you work for yourself, the stress is self caused. I used to work off the saying that the customer is always right. Now at 74, I don't much care anymore. If I like them, the customer might be right. If I don't like them, buy from somebody else.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F, clear and dry. Today's high forecast at 86°F. We received a trace of rain yesterday. Low tomorrow morning could touch mid-50s.
@warrior-cat : I'm glad your daughter's procedure was a success.
Happy First Day of Fall. Happy Hump Day!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 67° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This is will bring thunderstorms and a high of 70°.
Everyone stay safe on this Wednesday.

Good morning D League
Waking up to another nice day, we have a feel good 71° and a slight breeze out of the Southeast. We should have plenty of sun as we reach a high of 81°. We have a 35% chance of rain late afternoon. I can't complain. I had some minor surgery a couple of days ago and can't get in the pool for 7 days so that is a bummer.
Fall arrives at 3:21 PM. Fall is one of our nicer seasons as the rains will be stopping, plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. It is also good because kids are in school and tourism slows down. The Yanks don't show up until after Thanksgiving for the most part.
I trust all have a nice day, free of pain and suffering and a look to the future. Wonder what Joe Biden will screw up today? I read the remainder of Malachi and that concludes the Old Testament. On to the gospels.
I trust Don sees a few deer this morning. When I lived in Cumming, GA we had several visit often and they feasted off of our apple and pear trees.

Good morning to all. Haven't been around for a week or so. Did a few posts over on the Political thread, but haven't had a lot of time to post much at all.
Won't go into what I've been doing...but it was interesting.
Kind of going back to my bachelor days....the Mrs is in Seattle for about 6 weeks, so I'll be working on a couple of projects. One is building a daybed for our office...that is no longer a office since I got rid of the desk...and will turn it into a TV lounge and spare bedroom if needed.
Cool. Even though it's Fall today, it normally doesn't get this cool...this early. Will only get to the mid-50s today...with rain. To get down to the 40s tonight and tomorrow night. Guess 'global warming' is a thing of the past. This is 'climate change' I guess. Global warming will be back in a couple/few weeks when we have Indian Summer. Can you have Indian Summer with Global Warming and/or Climate Change? Something there is not PC.
It all gets so confusing.
Y'all have a good day.

DW used to have to "schedule" CSX delivery & pickup of tanker cars to/from her chem plant. Had to work with folks in JAX for their engines in Covington. Said they are in a parallel universe.
Taught me to weep and moan!
Good morning! I was up at the crack 0900 to play golf. Wait! What? Rain? 58°? HaHa, can't fool me Mother Nature. I got Netflix babe and I'll be just fine. Hit me with your best shot, I can take it.
Warrior, glad to see your daughter came through OK. Gonna be sore for a while I bet.
Weird thing this AM. My wife made me coffee before she went to work. Well, she didn't exactly make ME coffee, but she made enough for herself that there was 16oz left for me. I vote we make that SOP from this point forward. All in favor, say Aye!
Morning folks. It is a dark, rainy 61.2°F in Smiths Grove. We are supposed to top out at 62°! Over night we got .86 inches of rain. It is supposed to clear off tonight and get down into the 40's.
On CSX: I love those guys, they send me 3 checks a month for life and after I die they will send 2 checks a month to my wife. 32 years I worked there and retired at 53 years old as a company official. That control center you mention in Jacksonville was and still is state of the art. U.S. railroads are the largest users of computers in the country. CSX has a massive complex of fiber optic lines under their rail system and provides data and voice infrastructure for many phone and data companies. Those data systems are used by the control center and have really reduced derailments.
@warrior-cat I hope and pray that your daughter's recovery goes smoothly. Youth is elastic and sometimes repairs are rapid.
Thanks @_Rooster for that good looking train picture. It is good to see a slug pictured. They are wonderful things that save the railroads a lot of money.

WARNING! If you ride on a train that goes faster than a horse can run, you won't be able to breathe and you will DIE! It's science!
You ain't night hunting deer are ya........also.....Don't worry.......be happy.......
I went to high school and played basketball for the Silver Grove Big Trains -- I'd say likely the only high school nickname in the country specifically taken from the C&O (later CSX) Railroad.
The school has closed, alas, but the pride of all those who were once Big Trains lingers on, in the echoes of the cheer that used to bring us onto the court to start games: "We're the Big Trains, couldn't be prouder. If you can't hear us we'll yell a little louder."
My college teammates called me "Night Train," a combination of my high school's nickname and my carousing ways...
Best stress relief in the world is to go out into the woods at night with a good treeing hound and build a fire and just sit and listen to him run raccoons.........if that don't calm your soul............you might need to get a jug of corn liquor and do a total reset..........
Blanc wit.....I ordered me some Cote d'Or after seeing this............Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F, clear and dry. Today's high forecast at 86°F. We received a trace of rain yesterday. Low tomorrow morning could touch mid-50s.

I haven't worked in over twenty yrs.........I still get up every morning that the Director works and fix a pot of coffee.....4:30 AM............I sleep in till 6 AM on her off days.......
My wife went to high school a few years at Estill County "Home of the Engineers" The mascot was a Train Engine. The little town of Irvine was a railroad town of the L&N and sits on the Kentucky River.
She left the "Engineers" her senior year and went to an Academy in Tennessee where she graduated from high school but she always considered herself an "Estill County Engineer" .
This is how you can fight the high cost of beef and it is very easy to do in a state like Kentucky or where I live. .

I wish it was that easy. I've tried to buy sides or quarters from folks that raise them and have yet to have one farmer come through in the end. It's been frustrating
One of my best friends and her brothers process three hogs and two beeves a year. They do not do it as a business but keep their families well stocked and I get some very good left overs!
They do their own sausage, bacon, rib eyes, standing rib roast, hamburger, ribs et.al..
I would let Mean Mary teach me a thing or two or even several..............for you folks with the gutter mind.........I meant on the banjo....... 😉
My wife's parents always managed to send a couple of coolers of frozen beef and or pork when we visited.....one year they gave us 1/2 of a beef.........we paid for butchering and packing.....it ended up being something crazy like $0.12 a pound..........they kept us eating good when we would have been eating potato soup a lot of times......
"though I had the stronger will, the iron horse had a longer stride"
I love that song! You've blessed us with it before. That's why I knew to put on the headphones before I played it. Her picking is perfect. I had it turned up enough that no bad note could have gone by undetected. The Blitzkrieg at the end is phenomenal.
edit: If I ever get hit by a train, let it be one like that. That is badass and I don't want to down to a wimpy train.

I just heard on the radio about a drive by shooting in Louisville, KY at a bus stop. Sounds like somebody got killed. 
They also said it looks gang related.
The town is getting a reputation. Prayers for those who live there and the family of the victims

On this day in 1976 Charlie's Angels TV show premiered. Did you see the first one?
3 students shot, 1 died. This was Louisville's 145th homicide for 2021 and it's not even October. Last year's record of 173 will most likely be surpassed. Thanks to wackos running this city people are fleeing and I may just join them.I just heard on the radio about a drive by shooting in Louisville, KY at a bus stop. Sounds like somebody got killed.

Too bad you don't live close to the Ashland area, because we have a butcher that could hook you up. They run bundles like this all the time for beef and pork.
I always felt a little bad for Kate Jackson - a perfectly lovely woman, sexy in her own way and someone any man would be lucky to pair up with -- but she had to spend her professional life standing next to Farah Fawcett and Jacqueline Smith.On this day in 1976 Charlie's Angels TV show premiered.

That'd be like me forced to pal around with George Clooney and Brad Pitt. No thanks.

Had a little time this afternoon, but don't know if I can catch up with all the posts that I've missed....so here's a big 👍 👍 👍 to all.
@cordmaker...sorry to hear of the leg/hip and missing your fishing trip.
@warrior-cat ...glad all seemed to go well with your daughter's surgery. That was weird...hopefully all is/will be well from here on.

@_Rooster she dropped the mic after that!
Yikes!
Austin's 63 homicides so far this year pale in comparison to Derby City. Our metro is nearly twice as many people as Louisville.
Stay safe, y'all.
First road game for the Cats this weekend and they're a 4 1/2 pt. favorite. Feels like a must win after last Saturday's showing.
It is a must win game if we are to keep momentum going in the right direction. Win this game and we play Florida in prime time on ESPN. Lose and we're back to SEC network. ESPN is important because if we play good against Florida the announcers will do a lot of recruiting for us.
