WC and the rest of the D, what's the biggest city that you are close to, I know some of where the D is close to but not all, I like watching what the weather is doing in your area. The closest to me is Owensboro to our north Paducah to our west.
Cord, I live about 60 miles Northwest of Tampa, FL and 52 from the Pinellas County line which has about a million residents. They call the area Tampa Bay as the bay separates the two counties. The major cities in Tampa Bay are Clearwater, St Pete and Tampa.

Tampa Bay has the most lightning strikes in North America so you can stay busy in the summer tracking that. Sometimes in the summer months the sky lights up like the 4th of July

Fishing report: Not a banner day but, a good one compared to the last 3 or so. Had 5 strikes with 3 hooked and 3 landed. One was over 5lbs. Since my MIL and BIL were coming over and are vegans I brought them home for a fish fry. Wife greeted me telling me she canceled them coming over because she was tired. After shopping yesterday, we did a lot of cleaning in my off shop to get rid of crap my wife stored there and now realizes she will never use. Did not go through all of it but got a big chunk done. The big bass picture below is still not as big as the one that got off of my stringer a month or so back.

"gonna fry fish tonight". Mama make some hush puppies and swamp cabbage.

Looking good in Oklahoma
 
Cord I suggest that you pay the preacher just a little more and you may get the rain!

Expand on your last statement there. I got lost of "inner works". Is that the railroad?
We got to talking about trainmasters and managers this morning how managers has the final say on how the trains are sent out. How some would be running late, but somehow the reports sent to Jacksonville would show them on time.
 
The thing about English shows that gets me is I think there are only three actors in the entire country. Every show has people I've seen over & over in other shows. But still good.
I quoted this last night, at this time I have no idea why. Read on for an explanation.
Hello all,

I slept in.
Rookie. You posted that at 10:11. I didn't wake up until 1:03 THAT'S sleeping in.

I made it home at about 2 am from the golf course. There was a couple of parties going on there last night with live music and beer. Lots of beer. I drank 30 beers yesterday. Beer.

I do not feel optimum today. I foresee an alcohol free weekend ahead.

Beautiful Bert. I know you spent a lot of time and effort growing those specimens, You have been rewarded for you effort. Very nice
 
Good morning D, read 1 John:1 this morning.

No rain for us Bert!!! Clear blue skies this morning.

Our 2nd week into Mrs. M retirement, looking for a part time job for her!!!! No just kidding. Our week is busy, I work at Hope 2 All on Monday's and Friday's and she takes care of the grandchildren on Friday's, I got her into arrowhead hunting so we are having a great time!!!

Going to Earlington later to see our granddaughter before her prom tonight, where has the time gone!!!!

Bert, I have been talking to my son quite a bit about how the inner works, eye opening!

WC and the rest of the D, what's the biggest city that you are close to, I know some of where the D is close to but not all, I like watching what the weather is doing in your area. The closest to me is Owensboro to our north Paducah to our west.

I hope the D, has a great day and prayers for the D!!! We are heading to a kite festival with our daughter and granddaughter at 11 this morning.

I am so proud of our granddaughter, sometimes I think we are the ones with special needs and she is perfect!!!!!!

Sir,
I and My Darling are about 12 miles from the White House as the crow fly's. (In Virginia) Congrats to you all. I hope your days went well...

I am headed to Lowe's now to pick up some treated landscape timbers, some rebar, and some metal flat and corner braces. My Darling wants a place to garden and I have to build up an area in our yard to level it as it slopes. (Hopefully I have it figured out. I will have to wait and see as far as posting any pictures. (I've done yard work and things like this before but some of your work is beautiful from the pictures I've seen. Mine will be, uh, functional.) Raining so I won't start today but it will be here. ;)
 
So you live on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico?
Not quite but close. The county I live in borders the Gulf but Tampa and Hillsborough County do not. I live next to the Weeki Wachee Wildlife Preserve, just a little below Chassahowitzka. Towns close to me are Homosassa, Ozello and Bayport.

In the event of a hurricane I am in the automatic evacuation zone but never have. And I never will. "famous last words" LOL

Stand your ground Drill.
 
Daughter told my wife she wanted pizza tonight for supper and so she pulled out a frozen pizza. My daughter looked at me and ask if I wanted pizza too and I said yes but not the frozen kind. My daughter then said: "That's what I was hoping you'd say". My wife says to my daughter that she knew I was going to say that and that is why you ask him. She says with a smile: Yep. Ordered a couple of Fat Boys pizzas from the one in Elgin so she could have some for later and tomorrow. She is normally up half the night on the computer and gets hungry. My wife just looks at me and says the she knows how to play you. Well, I said: "I like fresh pizzas too, I am a man after all and we are easy".

Swampbilly? My present Horseville residence lies between the Tonto wilderness to the east with Phoenix about 5 miles to the west. The edge of civilization 5 minutes away.

Good morning D-Leaguers.

So, in terms of Kentuckians who we loved or at least liked a lot who ruined it with politics, is Rex 1A? Or is Ashley Judd, with Rex 1B?

Before you vote, you may need a refresher...lol. (Ten seconds should do it. Sorry if I ruin anyone's morning coffee...) Maybe she gets a pass for being nuts, but then Rex might get the same pass...

Ashley was the darling of the UK fan base during the Tubby years. My how times have changed. Between her and Rex, George Clooney looks quite tame.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 70°F and clear. Today's high predicted around 97°F.

John Wayne for us last night. Watched El Dorado and Hellfighters. I've not seen these flicks since the 1970s. Enjoyed both.

Lunar eclipse coming tonight around 10:30 pm CST. I'll be asleep.

Plan on walking after bit. Grocery shopping later.

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

Hellfighters was based on Red Adair and his company that revolutionized the science of snuffing and controlling wells spewing high-pressure jets of oil and gas. He invented a technique of using explosives and combined that with bulldozing. He also used mud and concrete. He was the first to cap an underwater well and the first to cap a floating vessel.

A couple of his most notable oil well fires assignments were the UK sector Piper Alpha oil platform fire in the North Sea. When he was 75 years old he took part in extinguishing the oil well fires in Kuwait set by retreating Iraqi troops after the Gulf War in 1991.

A large portion of my career was handling time element and loss of income losses due to oil well explosions, pipeline explosions and gas turbine breakdowns. I flew into Houston many times to meet with his company employees to go over costs, etc. The company car was a flaming Red Eldorado Cadillac with his company logo. You could see them coming a mile away. LOL.

Whoa, I came online to WoW...

Amazing.....

And all I did was wake up a little early and made a pan of biscuits and a pot of coffee.....

I hear the BB scrambling around upstairs. Him and my Darling are up and about now. I bet My Darling smelled the coffee.

Getting ready for church....

All, take your day serious and enjoy it. Talk to you later, "the Lord willing and the river don't rise..."
 
Just finished walking the dog. Our route takes us by several churches and it always amazes me how each year the attire gets more casual. When I was growing up the men wore suit and tie and the women wore dresses. Even the kids dressed up. Now it's shorts and t-shirts.
