My wife lost the key fob for our Mazda this morning and fortunately a good samaritan found it and turned it in. Good thing too. I was surprised to find out that the cost to replace is $375. $150 of the total was for programming. Amazing.

YEP! Been there, done that. THEN found the dang thing a year after we'd sold the vehicle. Still have it in fact. Dealership wouldn't give us anything for it, and didnt have the number for the person we sold it to...
 
Morning folks. Good to see no interlopers for nearly 12 hours. What good does he get out of being an ass?

It is a sunny 51.1°F on our way to 71°. That ain't close to Warrior Cats 92° but we will make it feel like summer. I have had the air on for two days. It gets a little crisp in the mornings but warm in the afternoon.

Good Morning Sir, and you won't see him here any longer. Bless you and your family!
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and cloudy with a light breeze. Today's high may reach 86°F.

Day 8 and we remain in great shape. My girl ate well this morning. Last antibiotic pill given yesterday. Normal bowel movement yesterday afternoon. Taking her to the vet this morning for a checkup.

Happy Good Friday. I'm working today. Expecting a slow 8.5 hours (fingers crossed).

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

My Darling and I were traveling hard the last few days. Yesterdays supper. (My Darling told me we hadn't eat well the last several days.) Off the grill and the air fryer along with some boiled cabbage. No King or President eats as well as I do. I am thankful!

The only people that may care are Matt Jones wrestling fans and since he has come out of the closet, I am not sure how many he will have now. On second thought maybe Kentucky has more social deviants than I am aware of. Heck what do I know. Some are saying the LBQRSTUVFU crowd number about 40% of the population so there must be a market for it. Jones is making the $$$$$$$$$ and he is the face of the University of Kentucky athletic department in the social media

He has been that way since I have been encountering him in other threads (mainly the Political thread). Has claimed to be the new military (air force) and as Austin had alluded to if you disagree with him on anything you are a racist or whatever. He and I have gone back and forth many times.

This is my favorite version of the song. Red is another native of Kentucky who did what he did well. If I remember he was from Berea not to far from Renfro Valley. I visited the Renfro Valley several times and always enjoyed the show.

I know who you are now:

You are a swamp dwelling hillbilly! 😁

You outed me Bert. I plead guilty. :)

As I get older I know the time is approaching soon where I will be laid under the Live Oak tree in the pioneer section of the oldest cemetery in Pinellas Co, FL in a grave about 15 from my g-g-g-grandfather William Taylor.

When I was a young child my grandmother would rock me in her rocker and sing me this song. This is an old one written in 1864. Take me home to the sweet sunny South, take me home.

I'm a fan of mid-century architecture as well. MosWhat I think oft people believe that the Kaden Tower in Louisville was designed by Wright. The fact is that it was designed by his son-in-law.

From the first day I saw it, this is what that building reminded me of

Mid-Century architecture/design is my favorite.

Recently watched a documentary on the Oyler House.

(That being said, Frank Lloyd Wright was a POS horrible human being, and his houses leaked like sieves. Not that he had anything to do with the Oyler house, I just wanted to get that out there.)
I am a fan also.
 
I have no idea why, but the other day, a tourist park that used to exist, down near Cumberland Falls IIRC popped into my head.

I remember going there when I was pretty young. It had a working steam engine train, an old west town, and they put on a show, complete with gunfights etc.

What the hell was the name of that place? It had to be late 60's when I went, so it's kind of fuzzy.

It's probably Tombstone Junction. We stopped a few times on our way back from family vacations.

Sounds like a great stop

I've driven by there many times on my way back and forth between Indiana and SE Kentucky. But never stopped. On old US25. I75 had not been built yet. We always stopped at Dogpatch in London going back north. Everybody did.

I was at the Louisville antique mall on Mellwood ave. today and upstairs they have a room set up with model trains. Evidently there is a group that meets there. Might be a good place for you to get rid of your trains.

I read my hometown obituaries regularly. Nearly every week someone I went to school with or played with dies. Almost all of them were teenagers the last time I saw them. You, me and Don are hitting 79 now and it's starting to get real. (I do like to cheer things up). I have no fear of death though as long as it is quick and not a drawn out affair.

I'm hearing that KS Bar will soon be changing its name to something more appropriate.

I have been thinking about it a lot lately myself much to the chagrin of my wife. While not as old as you, people do die younger than the age I am now. However, my mother passed at 74 and my biological father at 84 so... Many from my high school have already passed. While I don't want to leave my wife and daughter just yet (need to pay some bills off) I don't fear it as I did when I was younger. I just pray to God that like you it is not drawn out and it is rather painless.

This little spot brings back memories. I was attending Summer Camp at Levi Jackson State Park in London and a group of us boys decided to go over and check it out. The thing I remember most is a little girl got bit by a monkey and screamed and hollered for about 10 minutes.

This is how I remembered it. Dog Patch has a little gift shop off of I-75 now at one of the London exits. I last visited it about 15 years ago. I reckon it is still around.

We are at that age starchief and I am having the same experiences with friends and loved ones. They are leaving one by one. In my life, the sting of death was much deeper in my younger days. I lost a very close childhood friend in Vietnam when he was 18. That hurt for years and still does when I think of what may have been. He was a good boy.

This year I have lost my two closest first cousins. One was 86 and the other 75. The event we are celebrating this weekend gives me faith and trust of a better life to come. I too have no fear and if I had to live life over again, I would only change a few thing. It has exceeded my dreams and I have no regrets.

Look at that moon outside. :)

Good morning from ATX. It's 71°F and cloudy. Our high expected around 94°F. Should cool off tomorrow with lows back in the upper-50s.

We're on Day 9 with no messes and eating well. My girl got aggressive with doctor at vet yesterday. She loves his assistant. Anyway, changing diet to part dry/part wet food. Seems she's adopting okay.

Going shopping later this morning because all local grocery stores closed tomorrow.

Originally planned on heading back east today, but my girl came down sick. Meh, locked in a cheaper car rental rate for 4th July week.

Y'all enjoy your weekend. Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning! Rare event last night. Went to sleep shortly after 2300 and didn't wake up until 0730. That's gonna make for a long day.

I'm going out to the workshop today to start on something. It's been too long since I've power tooled.

Only supposed to get up to 64° today. Back in the 50's for highs to start the week. I hope it's not another cold Derby Day this year. Should have moved that to the first Saturday in June many years ago.

Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes!
 
Morning folks, a cloudy 51.8°F go up to 65° with a small chance of rain. My company got here last night from Cape Cod. We had a wonderful chat with her over some wine. She will be here for about a week and spend most of the days with two of her children that live in Bowling Green and Hiseville.

Arizona company tonight and steaks are planned.

You all have a good Saturday.
 
Nah, you are convoluted and I see MD likes it as well as B31 (That part saddens me.) In any event I was taken in by this fine group of decent family men and women. You seem to have no concept of "control" or "dumb". That is okay with me. If you look down on me or anything I do, I am okay with that. You call me a simple man, I thank you for that. I try to keep it simple.

You seem to enjoy the nasty and filthy. I defend against that, I always have. Some nice people asked you to not bring your filth here but to introduce yourself. You couldn't respect that (I knew you wouldn't as I have seen your posts.) You are a vile poster, the worst sort. A troublemaker. (I had hoped you'd change but it is a character flaw.)

if I am not you, I count that a blessing. No hate, no anger, no vitriol, just thankful. I will call a spade a spade though.
Hey BBUK - not sure exactly what the issue is, but sometimes I get busy and “like” a bunch of posts without scrutinizing them. Usually on here it is the same bunch of guys I respect so I’m not risking anything just to indicate my general approval.

But it looks like there has been some tension on the board so let me state for the record I was not intending to endorse any attacks or criticism of guys I’ve come to be fond of as part of D-League.

If I get time I’ll go back and review what’s been happening.

Good morning all. Just made a pan of biscuits and me, my Darling, and the BB are eating. Actually my Darling is making homemade doughnut holes with sugar and cinnamon for a planned trip to the woods. The BB is eating banana pancakes...

Oh, Bert31, in this "modern day" I fixed your post so it is politically and morally acceptable.... Jmuo...
