Good morning, D-League!
I had a glorious day of digging and other chores yesterday. Spent the weekend without any news. The world hasn't imploded yet, and God's plan is still relentlessly in motion.
I believe many of our gentler and kinder souls will be taken home to spare them what is to come. Our hearts are broken, but our loved ones safe in the hands of God.

I'm not really a slasher guy either but I do love the classics, bad acting and all. Plus I saw Halloween soon after it was released in 1978 so it has some special meaning to me. I much prefer horror flicks without the excessive gore. They leave something for the imagination.
Yeah it poured down in the wee hours this morning. Pretty soggy out.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and cloudy. Today's high predicted at around 88°F.
Yeah, watched Braves close out Dodgers last night. They earned a spot in the World Series against Houston Astros. Love it. ATL been knocking on the door past four seasons. Fun fact: Current Astros manager Dusty Baker played 8 seasons for the Braves between 1968-1975. He was on-deck when Hank Aaron hit 715.
Also watched UK beat Hogs in volleyball 3-2 in another nail-biter last night. Go Cats!
Usual chores planned for this morning. Heading to Bill Miller's before my walk for some breakfast tacos.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
Good news for Braves fans if Dusty Baker is the opposing coach. He is horrible at managing his pitching staff. Always leaves/left pitchers in the game too long. Cost the Cubs and the Reds when he was coaching there.
Same here. Yawnsville on the "scary movies"
If Baldwin fired a weapon of his own free will and choosing, HE ALONE is responsible for the outcome. No one should ever be allowed to skate because they think or say someone else is responsible for them pointing a loaded gun at someone. Fake life or real life, it's his responsibility.
I really think this is all just a distraction, like so much else, from the misery this administration and congress is creating by destroying this country. I doubt anyone died on the set of a movie, but if they did, the person/people responsible for pulling the trigger with a room full of witnesses need to be prosecuted.
Was reading this weekend about the August 6th 1945 Imabari, Japan firebombing mission. Very interesting

Great day. Eating breakfast bowl of cereal & bit down on something hard. It's two pieces of a crown. Off to dentist this pm. Nothing new for me & my weak teeth.
Listening to the radio and Gov DeSantis is offering out of state police officers a $5,000 bonus for moving to Florida if fired over a vaccine mandate. And you are hired as a police officer be it state, county or local.
I want the State Trooper from Washington State to make the move. We can always use a man like him. Oh, if you know any good ones in Kentucky or where you live send them down. We will make room on a police force for the good ones.

I had the same problems with teeth when I was a teenager.......lost every tooth in my head when I was 22 yrs old....after spending thousands of dollars trying to save them.....
Never underestimate the ability of Alec Baldwin (or any other spoiled brat/bully) to cry crocodile tears whenever needed. They'll be as fake as everything else about him, but just enough for the media to pull his butt out of the line of fire.
I installed a new set of cabinets for my lady while she was at work 2x (2 different houses), put in a new, 6ft, decorative, garden fence, laid 90ft of drainage tile... I tend to get more done when she's not home, too. I like to surprise her with things she has no real idea about.
Contractors are a crap shoot these days, and I used to be one. Guess I still am, but rarely solicit business anymore. I had a plumbing job that I wanted done for a house we owned. Called different contractors, 3 said they'd show up and never did. 1 additional bid the job while they were there working on a gas water heater install, and STILL never came back to do the scheduled work. Blew it off more than 2x.
Never got it done. Since it was a plumbing install, it had to be done by a licensed plumber, or I'd have just done it myself.
Unless you are in DC, NY, Hollywood... nm. I'd be here all day typing
He's probably crying because the story isn't getting enough air time. He makes me sick
That is when you install yourself.....if capable......and up to code.........I do my own plumbing and electrical..........I used to be a contractor also........#1 I am not kissing ass to get someone to come do a substandard job....for an outrageous price.........#2 no one needs to know what you have done inside your house......I know a guy that has 21/2 baths and his property is listed as one bath..................
Yes, it was pouring........coincidentally one of my dogs needed to sniff the fence around the back yard.....all 350 feet of it.......AND was then upset because she was wet so I had to dry her before I could go back to bed........or else she stands beside the bed and whines like a puppy..............
I used to contract everything out there or so I thought until the my doctor labeled me a hypochondriac.
A little modern day chicken little humor.
62.2°F, cloudy and we got .63" of rain around 2 to 4 am. It woke me up but I don't remember the exact time. We are supposed to get to a cool 63°, so we only have .8° to go.
I don't like horror movies at all, so I have missed out on the good ones. I did watch Halloween back when and did not like it. My kids do.
This is from: Sam Terry's Kentucky
October 25, 1978 - 30-year old John Howard Carpenter released his original independent film “Halloween.” Growing up in Bowling Green, Kentucky, he began making 8mm films by the time he was in high school. Carpenter's parents, Milton Jean and Howard Ralph Carpenter moved to Bowling Green in 1953 when Howard became a professor of music at Western Kentucky University.
Carpenter's concept was simple: "Halloween night. It has never been the theme in a film. My idea was to do an old haunted house film." Producer Irwin Yablans suggested a film about babysitters being menaced by a stalker and suggested that the film be set on Halloween night. From those ideas Carpenter wove the story for the movie "Halloween." Carpenter also wrote the musical score for the movie.
Reflecting on the film, Carpenter has described the movie as “True crass exploitation. I decided to make a film I would love to have seen as a kid, full of cheap tricks like a haunted house at a fair where you walk down the corridor and things jump out at you.” The film became a hit and the first of the slasher film genre. Carpenter’s budget for the movie was $320,000; the film initially grossed $65 million making it one of the most successful independent films in history.
Many of the road names et.al. are all around here.

Very little but doable.
Never really been a contractor, but basically do all my own work...whether it be in our home or our rentals. Not rocket science...but you do have to know what you're doing. Guess I get it from my Dad who was the same way.
The only thing I don't like doing is plumbing. Always that fear of a leak popping open behind a wall somewhere and not knowing it until its too late. Even with that....I've remodeled our two baths and built one from scratch in one of our rentals. Been a number of years and no leaks...but... 🤞
Yes Sir,
We had several rentals at one time and still have a few but now I hire the work out. The homes we have now are newer types I I went in trying to cut down possible issues with the larger items. I did just finish and paint my garage walls. (threw out a lot too.)
My kids won't manage them. They'd just want the dough. Will probably sell all in another year or two.

Good Monday afternoon. Here in Eastern Ky it has gone from rainy to sunshine, with a prediction of more rain later today. Been reading all the threads and I am not much into slasher movies either, especially the ones that have 10 sequels such as all the Halloween and Chucky movies. I do like a suspenseful horror movie like It, The Shining, and Poltergeist. Looking forward to a great week of UK sports. Big game against MSU, and another look at our basketball team when they play their 1st exhibition game. Everyone take care.
I typically do all but major electrical and plumbing before sale. I'll remodel a bath or kitchen and do the cosmetic work, but I don't want my soldering skills being the reason the house doesn't resale well. I'm more comfortable doing electrical than (as you said well) warrantying my soldering in someone's walls.
I don't like to sell someone a house without knowing a repair will reasonably last.
Good to see your name Ben.
I had been married for about two months and my bride was getting settled in a new environment and becoming a house wife. It was 1967. One Friday night she wanted to stay up and watch the movie that in those days came on after the 11:00 PM news. This was the first time for that and the movie playing was Psycho and Alfred Hitchcock classic. I told her it would scare her to death and just go to bed and forget it. She would not listen and she stayed up through the whole thing. She screamed and turn as white as a ghost over the shower scene and also the mama in the chair.
For the next many months she would not take a shower unless I sit in a chair by the bathroom door. She would not turn out the light. She got in bed with the sheet over her head and I had to turn out the light and jump in bed. It got so bad I rigged up a sting to the light fixture and tied it to the bed post. She could pull the string and turn off the light. Those were the days when a light was in the middle of the room with a string dangling down. She never watched a horror film again to my knowledge. But British murder mysteries on Brit Box are her favorite programs.
Not a horror/slasher movie, but I remember the first time I watched The Godfather. Went to the theater with my fiance at the time. Had read about the horse head under the sheets scene. So when it was about to show that, I asked her if she wanted anything from the concession and got up and left the theater. Hardly could contain my laughter as I was ordering popcorn and a drink. When I got back and sat down she was like Sawnee's wife...white as a ghost. When I started laughing she knew what I had done. Never been hit so hard in my life.
I just picked my first banana pepper of the fall season. I put the plants out about a week ago. By the weekend I hope to have enough to fry some banana peppers and have with my chili.
Came across this picture.....
This is what I used to do in Radcliff.....
That one boy in front of me with the glasses, both his parents died from covid a few months ago. My son still stays in touch with several of those young men (now)... not a clunker in the bunch of those fellows... I am thankful.

I bet you watched it at the Showcase Cinema. Wasn't Carrie about that same time? Watched that there too.
I think I had to watch one of the Freddie movies but can't remember if it was the whole movie. Haven't seen any of the Halloweens except that first one.
I watched those slasher movies with the dude with a long white face but those were comedic in nature.
When I renovated I switched over to PECS (plastic) for all of my water lines in the house........much easier to work with......I am confident in my solder but the plastic is simpler.....
Called 811 last week...Wednesday. LG&E came by Friday AM to mark the ground. Sewer or others? Nope.
I was told that I couldn't even buy a water heater without the license to be able to hook it up. Is that true? I installed 2 water heaters at our old house. The trick to soldering is the trick with welding as well. Prep is just as important as technique if not more. Good technique can't overcome poor prep, but good prep will help hide poor technique.
Silver Solder. Silver Solder... Like quicksilver...
I wanted to do that on my last bath remodel....but was too cheap to buy the crimping tool
No actually I watched in Lexington, freshman year. Rowdy bunch of college kids mostly in the theater.
I pulled the rest of my tomatoes today and doing the ol' paper bag and apple trick to finish the ripening process. No frost warning in sight but it's supposed to get down in the 30s tomorrow night. It's time.
Pulled mine yesterday, along with the sweet peppers. We almost always have a killing frost here from October 20-25. Have dodged it so far this year though.
Mine have been at a standstill for the past several days. I doubt they'd get any riper with the cooler days and cold nights.
We haven’t picked a ripe tomato for a couple of weeks. The peppers were nice and crispy though. Like you said, it’s time.
