Ripoff of Who's on First, but great anyway. 👍
I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Carson & Dad were shipmates in WWII. Carson was an ensign. Dad a warrant officer. Don't think they knew each other with a battleship crew of 1200.
I remember Carson well & highly enjoyed him.
@awf I have had a good time this afternoon watching Mockingbirds dive bomb a hawk in the back yard. The hawk penned a squirrel to the ground and was preparing to fly away with the squirrel. But several mocking birds started dive bombing the hawks head and would not let up. Finally the hawk just had enough and took off in the air with mockingbirds in pursuit. They were very aggressive. I captured this on a video about a year ago but didn't have my cell phone with me this afternoon. These little fellers are fighters in protecting their nest. That ole' hawk was a big boy. I have seen them go after an osprey or two.
Speaking of which, we live on the "Nature Coast" with miles of protected habitat. Unfortunately sometimes nature does not protect each other. How about a bobcat in an osprey nest.

Wow! Interesting.
Carson set the bar high. He had a hell of a team too. Ed McMahon, Doc Severinsen, Tommy Newsom, etc..

One of the all-time great motivational speeches....
Get out there and get-r-done!!!

We're talking about Johnny Carson. It was an homage.
Did not get the cabinet done. All I have left to do is to hang the doors, which shouldn't be too hard, but I decided to go with English hinges. I've got a drill press and forstner bits, but there is still a lot of thinking involved. It's looking too good to slap some crooked doors on it.
I do have to make a raised face door for the top shelf. Shouldn't have too much trouble with that. I've already got the wood and I've watched a video. I'll have to use my table saw to make all the cuts. I've got 2 router tables and a whole bunch of different bits, but I'm not paying $100 for one bit just to make raised face cabinet doors.
Still haven't decided how I'm going to finish it. Might just spray paint the whole thing white.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 60°F and cloudy. Received lots of needed rain yesterday. Cooled us off. Today's high expected around 74°F.
Day 19: great appetite, active. She likes chasing bullfrogs. Quickly put a lid on that attempt after envisioning her foaming at the mouth.
Month is nearly over. Heading back into the office on Thursday. Looking at two days/week in the office later this year.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning, D-League!
Hoping for a good, dry day today. Gonna go bird-spotting with a wonderful young lady (though I'm not sure what colored paint to take with me, nor how we're supposed to put spots on the birds). Long brushes, too.
Also taking some febreeze, as I've heard there's now a musky scent when they tweet...
It's 50 here in the lil holler. Guess we get spring for another few days. Hope it's a good day for everyone here

Good Morning all,
May this day bring you good news. I haven't had any news but I hear no news is good news... We shall see...
Have a great day!

Hope you find exactly what you're looking for. The rate scare may help you with that. Rates are almost back to what they were when I was in that business.
Thanks, As a part time gig I have my real estate license. The Company I work for is a good place to work. I dabble with a few deals here and there as I come across them. We mostly do our own deals but I work with a few as I come across those desiring assistance. (It gives us some ability to recoup expenses on a regular basis.)
Yes we were ready to pull the string about ten days ago but thought better of it due to one room not being as open as we'd like it. We have our eye on a retirement community 55+. Not rushing as it will need to be perfect.
Just an aside, a home up the street that was two stories (We are looking for no stairs.) was on the market for $599,900.00 it closed for $575,000.00. That reduction is unheard of here in this climate of buyers. It was a telling sale. The home we were going to offer on was $525,000.00, we had decided if we offered to offer $531,000.00 Anxious to see what it actually sold for, it is supposed to close May 6th. (Kind of dumb in that regard for the buyer as they are paying almost a months worth of interest up front at closing and getting nothing in return. A small item but at least a couple grand less in closing costs of they'd have closed nearer the end if the month.)
Take care...

Man, I think I have my leadership worrying about me.
In a meeting it came up about being an expert. It came up to where I interjected that we do not have to be experts, just very good. I want an expert Brain Surgeon but, in our line I will take very good with a great work ethic. I gave them pause anyway, not knowing their thinking but I am thinking they probably are patting themselves on the back for being experts when in actuality they are full of themselves and subpar at best. (Won't go into more detail but I was having a good time taking them down a rabbit hole.)
The work ethic is the key but most are missing that now...

Good morning D-League. Grinding away at the job.
You ever have the sensation of walking in to a room you have been in a thousand times before, and suddenly feeling like there is something unfamiliar, even strange about it? Sort of a reverse de-ja vu feeling? I got that walking into the office today. Weird feeling.
Anyway, it passed, and now its just another day in the 50-plus years I've been working since I got my first construction job at 15...Maybe that's what my brain is trying to tell me -- when it comes to work, Been There. Done That.
Hope it is a good day for all of you.

Some of my Darlings creations.... The fried variety and the steamed variety. My Darling made the skins on the fried variety but bought the skins on the steamed ones pictured here. She was upset that the skins were not good.
I love the steamed variety with my Darlings skins as they are not as good with the premade skins BUT, they are eatable
Man what a day, I have the most wonderful smell of Beef Jerky drying in my home... Just a wonderful smell...
Have a great day (again)

I'm with you MdW55,
I used to crawl under houses for a living for 20 or so years. I prepared and changed my work habitat/ environment as I saw you kind of did but in different lines of work.
One of my go to statements when talking with the people I manage is, yeah you work as hard as you can work and still sit in a chair. (You and others understand that but I have some working for me that cannot grasp the concept.) Have a very good day!
Good morning, D, we are reading in Hebrew's read 9 this morning.
When we buy fresh sausage, I always pat me out 2-3 large patties just in case I get a hankering for a sausage burger, got that hankering for one this morning, dang it's good, mustard, pickle and onion!!!!!
I was cleaning out some drawers in the cabinets not long ago and found a stained glass cross that I had made, it was broken about an inch from the bottom, I called everybody I knew of that I had made one for and it wasn't anyone that I called, I repaired it and now it's hanging on a small wooden cross someone made for JP.
I want to thank each one of you that have prayed for us! Please continue praying!
We went to visit them Sunday and had a great visit, they had just got back from Lake Brashear arrowhead hunting, it was good to see them laughing!!!
Well Mrs. M has two and a wake-up left, Friday is her last day. She is beyond excited!!! She came home laughing Friday, she told me someone ask her how many days she had left, she said she told them 4 and a wake-up, he said Hey, that's a military term, she just said I know, said they both had a good laugh!!!!
I bought my last metal detector on April 13, 2020, it had a 2-year warranty on it, the 18th of April it quit working!!! I called Garrett company told them what happened, he told he take it apart send him the box, coil and headphone and he would see what they could do. I shipped it off on the 18th heading to Garland Texas, got in Texas on the 21st, when we go home Sunday the 24th there was a box on our porch, new detector parts in it, no charge!!!!! I can't even send something to Bert in that short of time!!!!! I have a new place to detect this week, my best friend was telling me he had found a 3 ring Civil War bullet on his property, he also says he has 3 graves on his property too, one of them was killed in the Civil War. He wants to go with me, he loves the history about his place, I love detecting, maybe I can find one of the things on my bucket list, a ringed bullet. I'll give the D a follow up on this trip.
I hope the D, has a great day and as always prayers for the D!!!!

I am going to barge in to your house one day and require your Darling cook for me. You would not hurt an old man! 😁 That looks good.Some of my Darlings creations.... The fried variety and the steamed variety. My daring made the skins on the fried variety but bought the skins on the steamed ones pictured here. She was upset that the skins were not good.

Man what day, I have the most wonderful smell of Beef Jerky drying in my home... Just a wonderful smell...

Sir, you would not have to barge in, you are always and would always be welcome along with anyone you'd bring with you. As long as they fit in my home.
I have a real small back yard (Speaking of which it sure needs mowing...I will, I will...)
I'll have one soon. Wife wants me to make new doors for the kitchen cabinets.
You had Vu-Ja De!
That's the best way to do it. It'll show up soon.
Any other issues with the home? That could be a sign, or they could've just way overpriced it. Hope it's the latter. People are better off pricing it right where the (true) comps put it and see where the market drives the price. Saw something similar here with a property. Listed at 132k. Sold with an offer of 135k multiple bidders. No appraisal contingency tho. Sold for 122k in the end. Just not enough comps at the time. Now 4 months later... comps are there. Crazy market for sure.
Won't have a payment due until July, though, so it all works out if you have the cash up front.
@MdWIldcat55 Watching the Reds right now Padres 9 Reds 1 in the 4th. So much for that winning streak. Lou Brown's not walking through that door anytime soon.
The Reds don’t score nine runs in a week, so, yeah, that’s a bit of a hole, no question.
That is hilarious!
Well, there were tons of grade schoolers at the wildlife center, so we didn't see any birds unless they were caged. Never heard that place so loud for a solid 4 hours or so. Gave up looking for birds (I could hear most of what we were looking to see, just couldn't get anywhere close to them. We could see them here, too. Just should have been more there, plus some other creatures we don't get to see.)
It was a good trip still.
May try to set up a quail habitat on our property or at least an area they'd be comfortable nesting. Don't know if there are any in the area. Saw our first wild turkey on our property in the last couple weeks. No others since we moved here, but it's a good sign.
Good night y'all

Sir, I love a hanker! I really do! 😁

Yeah but the accrual of non-required interest is key. That is just lost dough. You could state it is rent but for 7 days difference you are paying another months payment, interest, or whatever.
On the home I mentioned it wasn't over-priced, if anything the one we were considering was over priced. (I forget the exact price per square foot but the house we were looking at was like $242.00 per sq. ft. while the house that sold was at something like $197.00 per square foot. The construction quality was near the same.
Yeah this market is stupid. I just got back from showing a Client who is moving here for work (From Tampa actually) a property that was listed for lease at $5500.00 a month. Just the smell test to me I told my Client it was a grand less or at least near it.
They are waiting to hear on a property they already applied for they like a lot better but it is a lot smaller but is in the Old Towne area more near MdW55's stomping ground. It is a Condo that is owned by two Marines (Husband and wife) with a small child who got orders.
Anyway we shall see. I am really worried about finding an E-7 a place where he wants to be for the price he wants to pay, for him and his family. (I hope it works out for him. I will give it the Army try for sure.)
Will be praying for a great outcome for them and you.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 59°F and mostly cloudy. Today's high expected around 81°F. Received a little more rain yesterday morning. Nice.
Day 20: Good appetite, happy and somewhat mischievous. We're pretty much back to normal. She just looked up at me with the "we wanna go outside" look.
Local news discussing "Project Connect", a $10 billion transit project located primarily downtown. Price doubled since voting a couple years ago because of inflation. Crazy.
Happy Hump Day.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning all,
When I woke up this morning, I heard a disturbing sound.... I said,...
Nah, I woke up easy this morning and am thankful. Just thought about the Blues Brothers and the Reverend, I was playing with ripping some movies yesterday and that was one of them.
Have a great day and be a difference-maker for someone.

Good morning, D-League!
Feels like 40° outside and I need medical care. Lol. Strained a rib muscle or two and am in pain. Wonder if it's from a deep dive into the beasts of Daniel and the Revelation to John? You know, bears with ribs in their mouths and such. Gonna be a fun day.
I hope yall are doing much better on this hump day than I. May God bless each and every one of you!

Girth,
I am with you on the ribs. I am having a bout with my recurring rib pain as well. (Where the derned Mutt of my daughters caused me to break a rib nearing three years ago now. I don't know how that dog is doing now but I don't wish him bad, just glad he is gone.) I put my back brace on as it seems to hold my ribs in place better and takes off some pressure.
Morning Legionnaires!
51° this morning with a high of 75° expected. Should be a couple of nice days going forward. Saturday is supposed to be one of our nicer days this week so...fishing.
Wife ask me last night what I was doing Saturday and I said fishing. She said that her mother and brother (who have not been here since Christmas) want to come over Saturday. I said, "Ok I will take a bit longer at my fishing holes". She gave me one of those looks. Still, I did not waver. Last time they were here my wife and her mother got in a more intense argument than normal. After they argue her mother generally joins me in the living room and starts asking me questions and bothering me on all kinds of subjects (que doctor Smith "The pain, The pain). My wife likes that because it gives her a chance to visit with her brother. My daughter goes into the computer room and stays away from her grandmother. She has never really been close to my daughter. She usually talks about her grandkids in Florida and Arizona bragging on their accomplishments which also pisses my wife off.
COME ON BASS, TAKE ME AWAY!
I would not be surprised if @BBUK wife is not the Chief Chef at one of Washington DC's finest restaurant. She is a world class cook. And I bet it tastes better than it looks and it sure looks mighty fine.
