Yes. But that's a lot of money for a small rather poor county w/o donations. Better late than never is right though.
Fried fish and drank beer today. Used 3 different coatings. McCormicks fish batter. A simple beer batter. Slap Ya Mama! coating stuff. Tried each to see how we would cook the rest of the batch. Turned out to be McCormicks batter and then dipped in Slap Ya Mama. This will be our go to for the next fish fry. Highly recommend. SYM is not hot at all. Just good.
Shout out for induction burners. I have one for the cook table outside and I love the thing. Used it today for frying the fish and all I had to do was set it at 375° and it held the oil at 350 for over an hour while we cooked and ate the fish. I used an old school deep sided skillet that is probably for frying chicken. More like frying quail. Anyway, it's heavy cast iron so it works great for the purpose.

HAHA, (When I first read this I saw the above.)(I fixed it to what I thought I was reading...)(Had Blueberry pie on my mind from the post before.)
I hadn't read this until I posted my last post. 🤣 (ROTFLCGU)🤣
Sounds like some good times. I liked fried pies too!😁
Good morning from ATX. Currently 72°F and clear. Today's high expected around 96°F.
Forgot my badge on the way to work yesterday. Turned around and drove back. Thankfully office is only 5 miles from home.
Need a new office chair for my home office. Current chair piston is worn out and will not maintain height. Plan on purchasing another Saturday.
Happy Friday!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Getting ready to go and work on getting some fish for a fish fry this weekend. Leaving the house in about 30 minutes.
Oh sit right back and you'll here a tale,
A tale of a fateful trip.
That started as a myopic chore,
Professed from my lying lips.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Only if I have a story of the one that got away.
There are few things in life better than a good ole' fish fry. We cook them outside and always have hush puppies and swamp cabbage on the side.
Life is good
Good morning ball,
My Darling and I, along with the BB, are heading back to South Carolina around 11 or so once I clean and pack our car.
I took off today and we have the long weekend and have a place to stay and figured a working vacation is in order.
Taking my tool bag, a couple chairs, some bedding, and cleaning supplies. The crab traps, only two poles, and the small rakes,(garden and crab.)
Have a great day and take care. As my Dad used to say, "Be somebody"...

My mom and dad always had apple trees and dad had built apple drying things. They were 2'x4' each and he put galvanized metal on the bottom and screen on a hinged top. Mom would fill them up with the apple slices and dad would set them outside in the sun. If it rained he would bring them back in. They were "harvested" when they were good and shriveled up and brown. Mom would put them in quart mason jars, cap them and put them in the pantry.
Then my mom would do the miracle: she would make fried apple pies out of them. They were to die for.

62.1°F, overcast and on our way to 70° with 80% chance of rain. We ended up .69" of rain yesterday. My grass is having fun.
I may do very little today.

Good morning! I've got a couple of errands to run this morning and then it's golf at 1530. Would be fine with me if it gets rained out.
Only 2 full days left in the Summer of Bob! I will leave for the airport at 1000 Sunday morning. She sounds like she's had a great time. I'm happy for her, she works hard all the time.
Time to get tags for my truck again. I hate going down there and having them tell me my vehicle is worth $5000 more than anyone in their right mind would pay for it. I wonder what they would say the value is if they were PAYING me money for it?
I'm ready for some football!

Just went over to KSR and saw that C Rodriquez may have more troubles than just the dui. Not looking good for the home team. A successful year has to include a victory in Florida and having CR would increase our chances. According to Jones, he may not play at all this year. I would have to assume that means he won't play here again.
This is why we can't have nice things.

What??? This is a big hit if it happens. I pray it does not.
Hello D-League. We're having a big thunderstorm early in the day, and I just got a warning on my phone that a Tornado was spotted and to head to the basement.
That seems a bit of an overreaction. But it is stormy. I really feel bad for my younger daughter. They were having an outside dedication for their new building at her school today, and she'd planned lots of fun for her elementary aged kids. That's a wash-out no doubt.
A friend sent me a link to a song by a guy I'd never heard of - Bobby Cool. I like this song...

As a master carpenter I have recieved many offers to come help on an aray of projects.......and they'll furnish all the beer I want to drink......first off in my whole career I never mixed work with any of my vices..........not once.......and I still have all fingers and toes...........My normal reply is, " that they can pay me and I'll pick up some beer on the way home"......
Ran a couple of errands and then went by to get my tags. People were backed up in the hallway. This won't be the first time I've had expired tags and it won't be the last. Since I don't want to do it anyway, Tuesday morning sounds like a fine time to do it.
Fishing report: 9 strikes 5 hooked 5 landed one of them a 3lb cat from Bald pond (my new go to). Thought I had a lunker because those suckers fight good. Imagine my disappointment. I already have 3 cats and a Catarena at the house, do not need more. The 4 bass ranged from about 1lb to 2 1/2lbs. Had to leave early because the rule on Ft. Sill is if troops move into the area you have to leave so, I went to Rattler to finish my morning.
At Rattler I ran into 2 Jake no shoulders (both water snakes) the first was around 2 ft long and curious. I scared it away but after going into the water (waders) it flanked me and I had to run it off again. It kept coming back so I moved down the bank a ways to fish. Got nothing so I moved back up to see if it had left yet and I was met on the bank with another water snake twice the other ones size and it looked pissed as if to say don't pick on my little brother. I moved him back into the water with a couple of foot stomps and just quit for the day.
Rattler and Corn Planter seem to have been fished out so now Bald and Natches are my go to ponds. Pictured below is Bald this morning.

If that ain't Bluegrass I ain't never heard any.
I like it.
Sherry would not like it.
I sure would like to meet you MdWildcat. We are similar! (Crazy hillbillies)
Bert, That'd be a great pleasure. If I ever get back to Kentucky with some slack in my schedule from catching up with kin I'll see if you are available for a visit.
I could tell you about the places that I have never been!
I noticed that you put me on the back burner!
Haha. Only behind my mother and father, sister and two out of three of my ornery brothers. That's still ahead of a couple old (accent on old) high school girlfriends...I could tell you about the places that I have never been!

No words. Hopefully this is just a rumor.
Damn. Henry Kissinger is alive and well. 99 today.
I heard that as well. It would be a huge loss if it turns out to be true.
I was so proud of my oldest daughter last night. Watching her graduate with honors and a 4.2 gpa was special for me. While I'm happy for her to begin college this this Fall, it will also be hard not having her at home. They grow up so fast on you.
Home from the golf course again. Our little team did well tonight. 6 under par 29 on the front nine. The winner was highest score on 4.5,6. We birdied each of those holes. Not a winner. It's a fun format where the worst team has as much chance to win as the best team.
It rained on us a couple of times. Several teams quit. It was windy and about 60° with a very cold rain. I was wearing short pants and a thin short sleeved shirt. Basically miserable for a while.
I have a FULL day ahead of me tomorrow. I hope to have all the cats here that were here when she left.
If CRod didn't murder anyone, and I don't think he did, then let him play. Don't punish me for his shortcomings. Don't punish the other players. We're too close to let things like this knock us off our path. Nick Saban would play him and make you understand why it was the best thing to do.

Congratulations on a job well done. 4.2 is outstanding. The best to her in the future, I know she will do well. Yes they do grow up fast. Too fast
I have a feeling in my gut he will play. The days of kicking players off the team are pretty much over. We are in free agency, paying players legally and very lax standards for student athletes. Heck the basketball team had a player (sitter) who could not prove when he graduated from high school. His handlers gave two different dates.
So for Mark Stoops to kick C-Rod off the team he would have had to do something that an apology would not be accepted. A DUI does not count, it would have to be murder.
Good Saturday Morning D
We are expecting a nice day today with a current temperature of 67° and winds a little calmer at 9 mph. Plenty of sunshine will be with us as we creep up to 83°. Not bad for this part of the country.
Last night was Friday Night At The Movies in our house and we watched Top Gun. My wife wanted to watch it again because today we are headed to the movie theater to watch the remake. I understand it is pretty good. With my granddaughter headed to the AF Academy my wife is suddenly taking an interest in fighter jets. It is almost funny because the first time she saw Top Gun she was bored (no interest) and now she takes in every second.
I trust all have a great day and smooth sailing.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F, cloudy and humid. Clearing later for a high of 99°F.
Plan on shopping today for a new chair. Hope this undertaking remains simple. May go with one from Office Depot.
@UK_fan_41102 : Congratulations to you, your wife and your daughter. Quite an accomplishment.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members..

Good Saturday morning D-League. It is a sunny 64.4°F and when I got up this morning it was a cool 28°, but it is supposed to climb up to a nice 76°. That should be a great day.
Congratulations to your daughter @UK_fan_41102 that is one fine achievement. Best of luck to her in college.
My plan today is to spray some roundup in the mulched areas where I have some baby trees sprouting.
You all enjoy the first day of a three day weekend and remember those vets.

Good morning! I've been up and at it for a couple of hours now. I've been assessing the situation and I don't see where I"m going to find the time for beer today. Maybe a few tonight while I sit here and think about all the stuff I didn't get done.
Not only is C Rod up in the air, we also lost that receiver from Alabama. From reading his statement, it seems like UK backed off of him. Judging by his writing, he's never seen a textbook and learned English from twitter.
I played the lottery last night. If I won, I'm going to donate all the money to Ukraine. Sure I know people here that need the money, I could use the money myself, but I want to be a good patriot and help fight Putin. It's worth it. It really is.
Take it easy fellas, I got this.
