Well I am still batching it for a few more weeks so I get to pick what I want to cook for supper. Tonight it will be liver and onions. My wife will not touch it and I love it so I am headed outside and frying me some liver.

That is what you do when you are in charge. I will cook about every thing I love that she doesn't while I have the chance. She always wants me to cook outside when I fry up things like that so I will honor her request. I am going to have a feast.

I am a simple man with simple tastes.

I wasn't thrown or pushed Sir, I jumped in willingly thinking since everyone else could do it, so could I, (I was in a swimming pool at my friends pool party when we were young.) Another kid who lived there ended up pushing me to the side after I swallowed a half gallon or so, sunk like a rock I did but I have since learned some common sense or at least caution. I was a reckless mug... A stunt like that will "Wise you up" as my Dad used to say. (Just remembered that.)

I don't remember what balance is!

It's the Yin and Yang of life.

It's the Yen and Yang of life.

Not my yang you don't...

Not my yang you don't...

I suppose you yearn for your yang to stay where it is.

You "ain't" NEVER lied!!! Yang you yery yuch....

Edit: Dang that sounded dainty... Half of it anyway...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 82°F and clear. Today's high expected around 102°F. Yesterday we briefly hit 106°F before storms moved through. Too bad we received no rain. Heat advisory in effect.

Our new family member is not working out. Wife pressuring me hard to give him up for adoption. Afraid he'll be leaving us soon.

Back working today.

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

Morning Legionnaires!

99° on tap for today with a cooling front coming in tomorrow bringing 98° before we go back over 100 for the foreseeable future. Wednesday may be my only fishing day this week. We shall see.

Made an appointment yesterday with my wife's doctor for this morning at 0945. Now maybe we can get things started in the right direction for my future health concerns. Will be more of a consultation to see what needs to be done going forward and where I stand (hopefully).

Be safe today and be good or, be good at it.

I read women enjoy being spanked. No?

Good early afternoon D-Leaguers.

It is a cool 90.3°F here on our way to 89°F. So much for my weather forecast. The reason for the "cool" is because the humidity is down to 43%.

@MdWIldcat55 I hope you get to feeling better. You and @warrior-cat are the two "healthy" folks on the board. Most of the rest of us are too old to do much.

Because of my fall on July 4th, I finally have an appointment to see my orthopedic surgeon next Monday. Anymore if you want attention you have to call 911. So I am going to have to use a walker for two weeks because I did not want to call 911. That is stupid. I call my regular doctor and I could see him in three weeks (I could see a nurse practitioner in a day, but why pay retail for a non-doctor?). A specialist is only 1 week. I used to be able to call my next door neighbor and get instant attention, plus he was a heart surgeon and I never got billed! 😁

You all have a wonderful humpday-eve.

My family dr was my next door neighbor for many years till he retired and moved. Now my dr is a guy who used to date my daughter. You have to have an appt to see him though, so I usually see a nurse practitioner. They open at 7 and if I'm there just after 7, I can just drop in with only a 5 or 10 minute wait.

Thanks Bert. Turns out I have COVID after all, which is a colossal pain in the ass.

Symptoms are no worse than a bad cold, but the timing couldn't be worse in terms of getting my work done.

 

[BBUK]

Hello all,

Sorry to hear about the calamities but you are taking heart. I've been having issues as well needing some doctorly advice/ treatment. My three children are in the medical field. Nearly my son is an NP, RN, and CRNA. I listen to them but steer clear from putting them on the hook. If something happened to me even without any cause from them, it would weigh too heavily on them. In any event I have to get these older bones feeling better. Just aches and pains (I hope) as I get checked out fairly regularly.

That's probably a wise move. When I was in my 30's, I had a wreck that really messed up a leg. I had 3 surgeries on it. The dr that did the surgeries quit doctoring later on. He was going to work one night and his wife complained of a headache. He said the take aspirin and I'll see you in the morning thing. When he got home, he found her dead. Though unlikely to happen, you don't want that on your kids.

Everybody in my house got Covid a couple of weeks ago. Like you it was not much more than a bad cold. Just a little lingering fatigue was about all the damage it did.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 82°F and clear. Today's high estimated around 106°F. ATX broke a record high for July 12 at 109°F yesterday.

Beagle pup (Blue) doing okay so far. Wife is not. Blue jumped up on tables and pooped in the house. Normal 10-month old dog stuff. He stays outside from 8:00 pm overnight through 12:00 noon. Our back yard is fenced in. I let him in for 8 hours during heat of the day. Also let him in so I can take big dog outside.

Happy Hump Day.

@starchief5 : Good hearing from you. Welcome back. Glad you're better.

Morning Legionnaires!

Anyone watch the Reds-Yankees game last night? At Yankee stadium the Reds won what is now their 5th in a row. 1st game in a 3-game series with the Yankees. Yankee Stadium was packed, and they had a 3-run lead going into the 9th inning when over half of their fans left to go home thinking it was over. Top of 9th with the Yankee closer in the first Reds batter was walked. Joey Votto then hit a fast grounder through the infield for a base hit. Now with two on the next Reds batter was hit by a pitch. Bases loaded; next batter (India) hits a blooper to center right bringing in two runs (score now 3-2 Yanks). Another base hit and another hit batsman later put the Reds up 4-3 where the Reds closer Diaz kept the Yankees from scoring. Sorry @MdWIldcat55, if the Reds keep playing like this, you will have a dinner to buy. Yeah, I know, it would be worth it.

During the Reds losing streak after winning a few when I was watching, my Firestick was acting up and I missed most of those games. Now that it has straightened up and I have been able to watch them again (these last 5 games) they are winning again. I told my wife it must be because I am watching them, they are winning, and we must ensure my feed does not go down again.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Thanks for the kind wishes folks, as I deal with the annoyance of COVID. I woke up this morning, and I thought I'd come a long way back, but after being up an hour or so the symptoms are about as bad as before. I guess I'm just going to have to be patient.

Warrior, the Reds are seriously starting to worry me. They are playing good ball right now.

Hope you all have a good day.

Thank you Sawnee. It really hasn't been all that bad for the most part - a couple rough patches, but I'm sure we've all been through worse.

Not to worry. They'll sell/trade a couple of their best for others' pennant runs.

Good morning D-League dudes. It is a sunny 80.1°F. At 5:30 am it was a cool 66°, but we are supposed to get to a warm 88°F. I bet we beat that by two degrees at a minimum.

Have a happy hump day.

Good afternoon D League

I have been outside working this morning and came in for a bite to eat and to hang it up for the day. I have learned all of the outside work I do has to be in the morning, it is summertime. We have been blessed with nice breezes the past few days but that heat will get you when you add in the oppressive humidity down here. It is great to practice football in if you are young but those days are over for me.

Our temperature is 88° now which is close to our high for the day. We could hit 90° unless the clouds cover the sun a little and the rains come. We have a 40% chance of that.

Bert I hope you continue to improve and am thankful you are going to see the doc. My wife is still in Kentucky at my son's place and he has three flights of steps. She is complaining of pain in her leg now and is wearing a brace. We have 0 steps in our place and if you are not use to climbing that is what happens at our age. But life goes on.

God bless all of you.

My aunt (RIP) was married to a family physician..........they were at a doctors conference where he was receiving an award..........as he was giving his acceptance speech............my aunt had a stroke..........they were seated at a table with two brain specialist............she had trouble with her speech as a result but the immediate attention by the two physicians didn't hurt...........................

Bless you and your wife Sir,

The stairs are literal killers. We have lived in our townhome since early 2017. we didn't like it the first day. Looking hard for one level similar to our home in SC. Real hard to come by here... (I use the stairs as my exercise and am told I should not but darn, I get a workout. Not sure why it doesn't count...)

ALL take care and may God Bless you...

I came down with Covid last Wednesday, and today was probably the first day that I've felt remotely close to 100%. The main thing for me right now is fatigue. I figure a good weekend of rest will go a long way in solving that. Hopefully you'll get to feeling better in the next day or so.

Hey D-L...posting this late but tonight at around 6:38 ET?, the Moon will be at its closest position to Earth this year. Keep your eyes on the sky and hope Mother Nature doesn't toss in a bunch of clouds.

I'll give you guys a little story from when I was young and stupid. I'm no longer young, but some might argue I'm maintaining in the stupid department. I'd been through several military schools where they tried to convince me of how tough I was. I thought I was ten foot tall and bullet proof. I had a buddy who thought he was King Kong and he was almost as big. In Izmir Turkey, along the waterfront they had these pavions that reminded me of the old west saloons you see on TV shows, except almost everyone was Turkish.

After a night of drinking, we were walking back to catch the last bus back to the base till the next morning. I was walking ahead of him and didn't realize what he did till 25 or 30 Turkish men starting screaming at him/us. Turns out he had urinated on the window of a car and there was a guy sleeping in it. He woke up and looked through the window to a stream on urine bouncing off the glass. Needless to say, he and his friends were upset.

Now my buddy was almost as big as King Kong, but he wasn't going to whip 25 or 30 guys, so he ran. I was in great shape, so I ran along a half a block ahead of him and a block ahead of the pack. I didn't want to abandon him, but what was I going to do? So I stayed ahead but close enough to see what was going on. I rounded the block just as the last bus was taking off. I sped up and stopped the bus and got him to wait on my buddy. As my buddy got on the bus, the pack rounded the corner. The driver goosed it and we sped away with my buddy looking out the back window giving them the one finger wave good-by. I guess the Good Lord took pity on a couple of fools.

Had to laugh out loud Sir. Never in your situation in a foreign land in danger though I have been overseas a few times. (I was kinder and gentler by that time.) I sure did some rabblerousing in and around Fort Bragg, Fort Huachuca, and Goodfellow. (I kept up the standard, that is all I will say...) (This is a laugh after the fact..) 😅 (Oh the situations I have been in.. self-inflicted I might add.)

Good morning from ATX. Currently 83°F and clear. Slight chance for showers. Today's high expected around 104°F. Record high tied yesterday at 108°F.

I'm in the office today. Wife will let Blue in around 11 am or noon. Our big dog, Summer, not welcoming our new friend so well. Co-workers trying to find Blue a home. He needs his shots.

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

Good morning D

I trust all are well and those who need a lift in spirits are feeling better each day.

For you military folks I will bring you up to date on my granddaughter's progress at the Academy. She has only been allowed one phone call since her appointment and will get one more after her physical training is complete. But the AF Academy has a nice feature for parents. They have a "Web Guy" and he posts 100's of photos of the training and parents can keep in touch that way. Yesterday he posted 22 that had our granddaughter in them and I will share a few.

She is right handed but this picture shows her shooting left handed. Another one has her shooting right handed. I had no idea she could do that.

You go girl, you got this.
