Good morning from ATX. We're at 75°F and mostly cloudy. 40% chance for afternoon rain showers later. Today's high expected at around 93°F. Heating up beginning Sunday and through all next week into triple-digits. Bah!
Enjoyed seeing a few colleagues yesterday around campus. Our facility is closed today.
News just announced 34,000 "migrants" crossed Mexican border into US during April. Supposedly nearly half were expelled.
Happy Friday!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Morning Legionnaires!
Today's high supposed to only get to 75° with light winds. Would normally be a great Kayak fishing day right? Thunderstorms rolling in around 0930. The itch is strong so I am going anyway but without the Kayak so I can fish as long as I can before the storms. Don't want to be out on the water when it rolls in. On the bank I can move to the truck like I was rounding second on Tuesday night.
Have a big bruise on my left forearm as I was allowing my student to kick with force yesterday as we were sparring. Same forearm with a raspberry from my Pete Rose slide into third Tuesday night. Being a gymnast, she has developed a very strong legs and her round house is starting to get powerful and blocking a roundhouse with my left arm yesterday I felt it. I wore rib protection and head gear along with a mouthpiece so I was protected mostly. We both had hand pads and foot pads and I let her attack and mostly just blocked. She has a tournament toward the end of this month and wants to do both Kata and Fighting. There is another lady about her age that talked to me yesterday about joining the class who does Brazilian jujitsu as well. I told her she was welcome to start as I need someone else to spar with her and not just me.
You guys take care today and God Bless.
Good morning from the Gulf Coast.
A nice day should be ahead weather wise. It is currently 73° with winds SE at 8 mph. Sunny skies with 0% chance of rain until after 2:00 PM. I hope to have my outside work done by then. Our high will reach 87° and humidity will stay in the mid 80's. I hope warrior-cat can reel in a nice bass today if weather permits.
The Federal Government and Joe Biden continue their war against our state. Our State's Attorney General is fed up with Biden and his border issues. It appears plane loads of migrants were flown into towns in the middle of the night and scattered all over the state. That is about as low as it gets for the Federal Government's treatment of a State. So a lawsuit has been filed and the Supreme Court will ultimately decide the issue.
Then we hear Biden is cutting off the federal money to Florida for education because Florida will not teach K-3rd graders how to change their gender. This is tax money sent to Washington DC by residents and DC decides not to fund schools down here. All because our parents want their kids taught an education not a gay lifestyle. If we had our way DC would not get a penny and the schools would be funded 100% by the state. But that is not allowed in America anymore. The FEDS have to run everything. Or so they think. Fortunately this years budget has a surplus of 20 Billion and the state was still able to appropriate $24.5 billion in K-12 education and another $800 million for teachers pay increases. The Governor's goal is to make Florida the highest paying state for school teachers before he leaves office. The starting pay is around $50,000 a year now. Right out of college into the classroom.
Who needs the Federal Government and Joe Biden!!!

Good morning! Not much on my plate today. Supposed to play in the Friday Night Shootout tonight but I won't head up until around 1600.
One thing I'll get done today is run the truck through the washing machine. Need to get the top layer of pollen off of there.
Heard yesterday that we have a replacement coach for Jai Lucas. Haven't even bothered to go check on it. Offhand I would say it's because I don't really care at the moment. Maybe later.
Have a day!

69.0°F and sunny on our way to 81°. Mowed yesterday and I need to go to the store today to get some salads and stuff, also some bourbon.
Sawnee Cat Joe Biden hates the U.S. He does every thing in his power to mess up our economy. He has to be the worst of the worst. Having studied and applied economics at a micro level I am positive he and his advisors are totally inept.
Are you ready for your storm?

Good morning D-League.
Back from a visit to the orthopaedic surgeon.
The good news: He drew 75 cc's of Guinness Ale-colored fluid out of my left knee, gave me a cortisone shot, and said I probably could get by for a while without surgery.
The bad news: He said my right hip was completely shot. On the x-ray, the "ball" going into the joint looked totally warped from arthritis. Looks like replacement surgery in my near future.
By the way, he asked me if I'd stressed my joints recently. I told him about running a 5-K race a couple weeks ago and he started laughing and shook his head, like "what an idiot."

OK Joe, but I'm going to need you guys to pass a law that says if someone attacks my house with a high capacity weapon, that they have to cease fire each time I have to reload. If you will do that, and move me into to a gated, guarded community, like all of you live in, then I'll concede some ground.
Another day, another gas increase. Today it went from $4.59 to $4.79. That's a $.50 increase just this week alone.
That's because you live close to where they make it. Louisville has it over $5/gal now.
Not much going on about the storm around here and have not heard any real discussion. It may be on a path for SW Florida. We will know more in 24 hours.
We could use some rain
Hello all,
I see I have some reading to do to catch up from yesterday. I will do that shortly but work, work, work... (I am thankful...)
In any event it has been a real good day. Sir, thank you and thank you again. A blessing was bestowed on me...
Take care, I hope to be back to bugging all later this evening. (I KNOW I will have some comments once I read the posts I have yet to read.

Here are the actual subjects of Grant Woods' American Gothic. Heh.

Up here in Horseville. Some 30 cents since Monday. $5.29/gal today.
I have an artificial right knee and right hip. I was supposed to get the left hip done on March 23, 2020 and Covid 19 stopped that. I am now pissed off that they called it off after I went to my heart doctor for all sorts of tests and then "NO OPERATION".
Now I am about to turn 76 so I don't know if I want to go to the heart doctor for two days and go through all those procedures again to get permission to have the operations. After my left hip and knee I need new ankles. I will not live long enough to justify all of that surgery.
Note: to replace my hip they have to remove this:
Slow down on your exercise programs. We are limited on the cartilage we get issued and part of it is DNA. My father did not have the problem but my mom gave it to me. I ran through mine really quick playing baseball, basketball, track et.al.
Start acting like an old man instead of a kid! Life is a marathon not a sprint! Slow down and have better joints late in life.
Mine went from 3.89 yesterday to 4:11 today. On post of course, it is higher off post. My wife got fuel yesterday and I did today after fishing.
It is sure good to see you back Rooster.
That's interesting Bert. I too appear to have inherited a predisposition for osteoarthritis from my mother - who had hip replacement surgery at about my age - rather than my father, who never needed it.I have an artificial right knee and right hip.

The doc today said it was pretty much genetics. But I know I damaged by knees, ankles and hips quite a bit playing basketball and working many years on pipeline jobs, not to mention sleeping rough and moving fast in a hundred Third World shit holes as a war correspondent.
So, que sera, sera. I may see one more surgeon for a second opinion who is a friend and colleague of my wife but I don't think there is any way I am dodging the bullet -- or the scalpel -- on this one.
Fishing report:
5 hits, 3 hooked and two landed. Not big enough to write home about but at least I was not blanked. Rain started so I left but it was not the thunderstorms they were predicting.

The bolded part. I understand.
They need to give us the knowledge when we are young. But then they did not know.
I love that song and that record. I have one just like, I bought it the week it came out. We use to argue as to what they were throwing off that bridge. The movie some years later revealed what the movie writer wanted us to think but I am not sure that is what the song writer thought.
Billy Joe never had a lick of sense anyhow. I think it is one of the greatest Southern ballads of all time.
I doubt I will have to have any joints replaced. My severe arthritis is in my spine. Oh I have the aches, etc in my knees, shoulders, fingers, etc. but I can beat it. The back almost paralyzed me and I was destined for a wheel chair. But a good surgeon and a lot of rehab has me back where I need to be to complete this life's journey.I have an artificial right knee and right hip.

I am just a Pilgrim traveling through this wearisom land.
Love Sweethearts of the Rodeo...Here's one that always makes me think, 'what might have been...'
I was a huge Gram Parsons fan and was crushed when he OD'd. Each time I hear Emmylou I think of him and I play her songs all the time. He probably did more to get her career going as anyone.
What might have been is so true. The guy was brilliant and such a talent. I enjoyed Gram with the Flying Burrito Brothers
Gram and Emmylou could bring any song alive, including this early George Jones classic...
So is that Norfolk Southern stealing a CSX engine?

My Darling asked me to wear a mouth piece................................................So I'd shut up some times.... I told her, I do at night...
Sir, Joe is a wasteoid mentally. It is the couple hundred people around him that are doing what is being done. (He seriously has no clue.) Joe would do it too if he could get a penny out of it but his "wife" is happy to oblige. I do not feel a bit sorry for Joe as he has been a horrible horrible person his entire life. I do feel sorry for a country who won't work harder at stopping this theft and deception... I will stop for now.

Just about the exact truth... what a shame...
This is not sad, it is CRIMINAL. Start prosecuting criminals!!! Too many criminals calling the shots at this time...
El Mercado TexMex take-out for dinner. Wife got Mercado Plate. I settled on Spinach and Mushroom enchiladas. Added a frozen margarita. Delicious.
Found a $10 bill under right-rear back tire of a car during my noon walk. Life is good.
Watched Marooned last night. May check out Thinner tonight.
Hope y'all having a good one.
