I was the same way. It's kind of hard getting to know the person when you have other couples along.

HA, there was a time my son and his two friends would go and apply for the same job (1 opening), at the same time. I told my son, think about it???? Three of you are going together to apply for one job... My son is the sharpest of sharp-minded people. I trust his views in so many things. He never misses a trick even as a baby. He has a do-nothing streak though and at times will work hard at not working or accomplishing anything. (At the time I knew he knew what he was doing not expecting to work but darn there is principal...) (The military changed him a bunch and he is now, as my Aunt Bessie used to say about my BIL, "Much of a Man".)
When I was chasing 40 years ago, all attempts of companionship with the ladies was, by myself...
That was solid advice. I never told anyone about a job until I got hired first. I figured I'd have enough competition getting the job without adding to it.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and partly cloudy. Today's high could reach 91°F.
Nice hearing from starchief5. Get well soon, fellow former Middlesboro citizen.
Queen Elizabeth's celebrating 70 years on the throne. Ceremony on TV right now.
Leaving for work NLT 6:15 am. Keeping it short this morning.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Hang in there good buddy. Those old bones aches at times. Keep in touch with us because you are a valued poster and we appreciate you. Some of us know and understand how it feels to be aging and are fighting the good fight with you.
I will remember you in my prayers and you have my phone number. May that Arizona sun give you warmth and strength as you and I press on.
Good Morning all,
Fight the good fight. Who knows where this day leads but we shall see..

Better than being an inactive participant. I would either be passed out drunk or dead which would make her a necrophiliac. Well, not if I died during the deed.
Funny that subject (necrophilia) came up in conversation between my wife and 16-year-old daughter yesterday. She was saying that some of the people she talks to online were discussing the subject (that and bestiality) and she could not understand how people could be so sick.
So far so good, she is at least taking the correct position on the subject.
Morning D-Legionnaires!
Rained again last night (Thunderstorms) and is raining again this morning. Cooler temps came with it. Today's high around the mid 70's with 20-30mph winds. Supposed to taper off late to early morning tomorrow with much lighter winds. Want to go to my fishing holes tomorrow but some places (the better ones) are hard to get to after hard rains (no 4x4 drive on my truck). Still, I just might have to attempt it. Want to kayak with light winds.
Have to play Mr. Miyagi at half past noon today but not much else going on. You guys enjoy your day and stay out of trouble.
Starchief, prayer sent for you this morning and hoping the Lord takes the pain away.
Good morning! Leaving soon to go figure out who won money in the game. I think a BLT is in my future this morning.
Looking at a high of 75° today. Pleasant. Could be storms though. Inconvenient.
Have a good day in your neck of the woods.

I went Old School for breakfast this morning. I fried up a can of Spam and made myself a nice 3 egg omelet. A little Tabasco and I had a 5 star gourmet meal better than anything you could get a the Waldorf Astoria's fancy dining room.
Good morning D-League. It is 71.1°F and cloudy. We are supposed to get to 80°F with a good chance for rain (40%).
On dating: I had a bunch of double dates. Never a triple date although many of us friends ended up at the same place. Of course I was raised in the country, so a city would present a totally different set up. One good thing about being in the country there were many good parking places, especially with Mammoth Cave National park being two and 1/2 miles from my house!
I also wonder about Rooster. I am missing the train pictures.

LOL. There is a Rodney Dangerfield joke in there somewhere.
"Last night I heard my wife scream out in passion, 'Baby you are the greatest!'
I was in another room asleep at the time.
I tell ya, I get no respect."
Speaking of Rodney Dangerfield, I saw him live in DC back in the early 1980s when I was in my mid-20s. There is no doubt in my mind that I laughed harder that night than any other time in my life. It was like being in convulsions. Seeing the guy in person, prowling that stage with that beaten dog look on his face, no TV or video could match it.
Anyway, here's a short clip for a morning chuckle.

Too many old people for the working ages to service one way or another. I.e., population bust after 1970.
Speaking of Mammoth Cave, my son sent me this picture yesterday 6 years ago (I was thinking 3 or 4 years). Time does fly. Took my daughter there for her first visit pictured with my son (one of the twins) who sent the picture.
Edited: that picture might be from somewhere else, not sure. We also went to Chatanooga in that time frame and visited a rocky area so that maybe in Chatanooga. I don't label my pictures just dates.

Every few days or so I will surf YouTube and watch him on talk shows and other standup venues. One of the funniest comics ever to me.
There is our man. We can smile now and sing all is well.
Junior was from Cumming, GA. When I moved there right off of Hwy 9 as you headed North into town , on the right side of the road was Sample Auto Sales. And there it was in big bold BR-549. I bet that phone number had been on the sign for 25 or 30 years back in 1995.Almost, I say almost, one of those BR549 trains...
I quickly found out after I moved there, Junior was an original. There was nothing fake about him. His act was not staged. They just told him to open his mouth and out it came.
One of my favorite things to do was go down to the barber shop across from the court house and talk to the old timers. It was straight out of Mayberry. Many of Junior's jokes on Hee Haw were real life experiences there in Cumming, Georgia. I am sure it has all changed now with most everybody I knew back then gone to their eternal home. But Once Upon A Time.
My Darling and I have sung this several times in church services over the years. A little different from this version...
Hey everyone, still out and about!
Appears as if we're all still kickin'
Officially became Empty Nesters last weekend...
Odd feeling, now I gotta figure out who this red head is that's been living in the house?
Go Blue, Red sucks!
Edit: Not THAT red..."the red head"

Great to see your name. Empty nester is indeed an odd feeling. Glad your are well and still kickin' too.
Well I am knocking it off for the day. I started early this morning and picked up 100 2 CU ft bags of cypress mulch. I have covered 600 SF and will put the rest down tomorrow. Good Lord willing.
Throwing those bags around in my truck will let me sleep well tonight. I bought them at Home Depot (it was convenient) and the girl at the register said some boys would come by and load them for me. They never showed. I waited and waited and then decided to do my own loading. I guess Home Depot needs more help too. Anyway I loaded the truck and came on back to the house and went to work.
The next time I will buy in bulk like I usually do and probably save some money and a whole lot of aggravation.

The story behind this song will break your heart. I can't imagine that happening to me. This song is at the top of my list for sacred songs and I have requested it be sung at my funeral.
Too many old people who paved the way for these little ungrateful shits who think everything is free and there is no need to work for something someone owes you.
Listen to them and they'll tell you how bad old people are for sucking up all the SS money. Doesn't occur to them that WE are the ones who put the money there, not them.
There are about 7.5 billion people on Earth. Take the money from the wealthiest person on Earth, we'll say he has 150 billion dollars worth of stuff. That would give each and every person $20.
Old people with money are not their problem. Lack of ambition and ingenuity are their problems.
Doggone em!
Just noticed this. I did have a BLT this morning from a magic window. I also won $30 in the game again this week. Put in 20 but a win is a win.
Got to about 75° and I mowed the grass when I got home. Went to the workshop to drink beer and listen to tunes and a storm rolled through. Didn't affect me none.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Sometimes I get in the mood for some real old fashioned country music. Stonewall did it as about as country as anybody ever did it.
Speaking of country that is what I am having for supper tonight. Country cooking. I have a side bowl of chicken gizzards, some red skin potatoes cooked with string beans. A nice smoked sausage with banana peppers for some flavor. Of course Miss Sawnee Cat made a pan of cornbread. That will put meat on your bones.
Banana pudding is cooling down and waiting.

I really believe "it is well with my soul". That is what keeps me going. I am not that good a person but I believe and I try to do right.
Do right. Live right. Give right. Believe right. Get saved.
Then all is well with your soul.
One more thing that I think that is important. You can't go to church and get "saved" and go straight to heaven. You must live right. Being saved is the starting point. You must live fight after that. Show others the right path.
The most important word is RIGHT.
No joke here Sir, that is beautiful! (I'll be messing with you again tomorrow Sir.)
Check this out! Real life is better than any F/X!
