Quite a storm system headed toward us. Might get rowdy here in about 3 hours.
Really sorry Bernie. Prayers for his family. I have no doubt that he was a good man.
I'm still waiting for a passenger side view mirror for my Mazda. It hasn't been nearly as long but come on! This should be an easy one.
GOES-East CONUS for those who are interested
That's a big system! A lot going on in that loop.
Ran across this a little while ago and liked it.
And you can update by refreshing every 5 minutes or so. The GOES Image Viewer is a fabulous tool.
Amazing athlete. I thought he was a decent actor too. Loved him in The Dirty Dozen and The Running Man.
I already had it in my favorites from an earlier time you posted it.
Here is one the guys who route UPS planes use.

To my embarrassment I've never seen that movie. I hang my head in shame.Dude! You forgot the greatest Jim Brown movie of all. 100 Rifles!
I'm not an expert when it comes to Doppler radar images but I do know that "red" is not good. "Red" is heading our way and really soon. I hate "red".
This is the 2nd of these big ole hogs in a row.

Cousin on Nolin Lake in Grayson County just texted me and said they lost electricity, but are okay.
Burt Reynolds is in it too. Raquel's stage presents are on display.
I'm getting ready to be hit with 80mph+ winds. Phone just went off with a tornado warning but there is no tornado here. It's over at the Gene Snyder.
Tornado on the ground south of JTown. Stay safe buddy.
We're fine here. Had a 60mph roll through with heavy rain. Maybe 5 minutes of action. Light rain after that.
Good!!! Worried about Shelbyville.
About six weeks ago a big pickup truck backed into the front of my wife's car in a parking lot. They admitted fault. Front bumper and grill, hood, fender and headlight. Got it in the shop 2 1/2 weeks ago and still waiting on parts. $4K in damages from a light hit. I'm driving a rental they provided but those costs will be added on.
He was last seen on April 5th. I'll try calling him soon.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 59ºF and clear. Today's high expected around 85ºF.
Day 7 and we're on a roll. Gobbled down our last pill at 4:15 am. Yesterday, she ate 3 cans prescription dog food plus 1/4 lb boiled chicken. Stool returning to normal.
Tornadoes hit north of us this past Tuesday. 61 structures in Bell County, Texas destroyed. Active storm season. We've been lucky. Cousin just texted me back from Nolin Lake. Still no power since last night.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

You mentioned another thing that has increased in price to a point of being ridiculous. Car rental.
Audi offered me a replacement car when I had the car towed to the service department. They must have thought it would be a fast repair. And it should have been.
But I couldn't justify taking a car and letting it sit in my driveway for weeks and weeks. Listening to the radio this morning was depressing because the girl said all of this is going to get worse. Let's Go Brandon
Good morning all,
I just refilled my cup of the doctor ordered black cup of coffee. My doctor told me to drink it every day. Well we are waking up to a dark morning, the sun should be up in an hour.
Our weather is warming up a little day by day. We have 70° at the present and will move up to 82° by midafternoon. Clouds are moving through. I think winter is behind us and Easter Sunday was always the day my mother would say put away the sweaters and jackets for the next 6 or 7 months.
There is something about a redheaded woman and cowboy boots.
Have a great day all.

I've had 3 price increases on raw goods for manufacture since Dec.
Good morning, D-League
My hope for today is that the communists, nazis, dictators, and fascists that know what they're doing is wrong and will never repent - publicly choke on their own spit and keel over or have their real deeds exposed in front of millions of people or both, never to return to office again. I want them to be prosecuted and serve real time. Yet, I also want God's will to be done, so however he needs this to play out I will accept it.
May you all find His peace and may His spirit rest upon you as faithful children of the Most High, seeking his will upon the face of the earth.

Mmm, hmm. Unless it's Jen Psaki
I call her "Copper Head" because there has never been real hair that color. Plus she is the most condescending person on earth. (I substituted "person" but I really wanted to type the word for a female dog!)
Since we've been talking baseball, I thought this Quora article on the best outfielder arms was cool.
"In Major League Baseball history, which outfielder is generally regarded as having the best throwing arm from deep to home plate?
https://www.quora.com/In-Major-Leag...the-best-throwing-arm-from-deep-to-home-plate
In the history of Major League Baseball, outfielders with the best throwing arms include the following players. If I forgot anyone really good, please let me know in the comments and I’ll credit you.
- (#1a) Roberto Clemente aka "El Howitzer" is the modern era leader in outfield assists. Clemente, who won 12 consecutive Gold Gloves, finished his storied career with a staggering 266 assists, including 27 in 1961. And it wasn’t just that Clemente had a powerful, accurate arm. He played right field and threw with rare grace, poise and élan. Clemente would have had even more assists because he averaged 14 per 162 games his last three seasons, before dying prematurely on an overloaded plane while trying to fly material aid to Nicaraguan earthquake victims. Many baseball players are said to have done heroic things on the field, but Clemente was a hero in real life. Also, as with other players on this list, he had limited opportunities because many runners chose not to test his howitzer. You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit into the wind, and you don’t run on the great Roberto Clemente, if you know what’s good for you!
As the immortal Vin Scully once observed: "Clemente could field the ball in New York and throw out a guy in Pennsylvania."
- (#1b) However, according to the late, great Roberto Clemente, Reggie Smith had the best outfield throwing arm. David Halbertram wrote that players on the other team would gather in their dugout to watch Smith practice throws during pre-game drills! “Spaceman” Bill Lee said in his book that Boston outfielders had a throwing competition in the early 70's to how far up the Green Monster they could reach from the first base line with a running start. Lee said Reggie Smith went last, took just one step from the dugout and threw a ball over the wall and screen!
- Dave Winfield, a hall-of-fame outfielder playing for the Yankees in 1983, was arrested for killing a seagull with a thrown ball. The cop who arrested him and fans who witnessed the event claimed that Winfield hit the bird deliberately. But Yankees manager Billy Martin questioned whether Winfield possessed the necessary accuracy: "Cruelty to animals? That's the first time he hit the cut-off man all year!
My buddy (also from Illinois) told me about listening to the Cubs game on the radio and Harry Caray talking up Dave Winfield all game. Every.single.inning. He DID have a strong arm, so Caray wasn't wrong, but he said it got annoying.
Then, late in the game, the Cubs had a runner on base that tried to get either a tag up or an extra base on a deep fly ball to Winfield. Caray got all excited for the throw, as he'd been building up to it all game.... "Here's the throw to the plate. It's gonna be ... the (blankety-blankest) throw IVE EVER SEEN!" screamed Harry. Screener caught part of the vulgarity but not all of it. Left just enough of it there that his grandmother wouldn't let him listen to games into the late innings for a little while. That's when Caray was too drunk to control his mouth some days.
That throw from the warning track by Winfield wound up hitting the net behind the plate about 15 feet up or so. Caray bitched about the throw for the rest of the game, obviously embarrassed he had played Winfield up so much. His cohort in the booth couldn't stop laughing the rest of the game. My friend couldn't remember if it was Steve Stone or not, but Stone was famous for laughing endlessly or out of control when they made mistakes in the booth.
I was going to post this, too, and forgot. Glad someone else remembered!
Buddy had a classmate in grade school with hair that was pippi-longstocking-red. Bright as can be (also not copper). One day when she was mad he told her to try Visine. She didn't like that much, but remembered it the rest of her days. ...Sometimes fondly
Morning folks. It is a sunny 45.7°F on our way to 65° with no chance of rain. Last night at 7:00 we got some really hard wind for about 15 minutes and then just rain.
We ended up with 2.18" of rain Tuesday and 1.28" yesterday/last night. I can not see any wind damage; however, my daughter in Shelbyville got a little damage to her roof and a metal chair on the front porch damaged the rail around the porch. My son in Taylorsville (out in the country) reports no damage.
Is it true that Oscar is coming back?

Good morning D, read Titus 2 this morning.
Bert we had about the same, I think we had 1.9 Tuesday and 2.3 last night. Mrs. M got home at 5 yesterday, we ate a quick supper then went to the church basement, most of the time it's just me and her there, last night there was probably 30 people, had tornado sirens go off 5 times, one went directly over the church and another one south of Greenville, worse lightening I have ever seen!!!! People are edgy here in the Berg after what happened in December!!!
Got us a crockpot of Italian beef going, will be done about 12:30! If any of the D wants the recipe, I'll post it, but I know most of the D makes their own.
I hope the D has a great day and prayers for my friends on the D!!!!!! Oh, failed to mention this. We had a breakthrough with our granddaughter this morning. Her teacher called my daughter, told her that she ask her this morning if she wanted a book, then the teacher wrote the word book on a piece of paper, then our granddaughter took the pencil and wrote book also!!!!! I know it dosen't seem like much, but it's great to us!!!!!

Sophia Loren is now 86 years old and aged well.

There was a lot of sweating in that movie.
That movie could never be made today. John Wayne picked up Sophia and threw her into a tent. He slung her like a rag doll. You wouldn't get past the first scene. I find that is true in about any old film I watch.
