BBUK,
I don't know if this is confessing or bragging, but you have hit the nail on the head with my younger self.
We all age out of our youthful vices, if we are lucky. For me, that was when I got married for the second time at 42...

(Thought) Paul was born in Tarshish. I was told that was a Roman province on an island between Italy and Spain, perhaps near Sardinia, that traded heavily in precious metals and manufactured goods made from them.

Hello all,
I know it's getting late in the day. Been where I had to be and enjoyed it. Lot's to do.
Last night I tied some leaders together to make some quick switching possible while fishing.
I have my straw rigs in case the croaker (Preferable yellow croaker) are hitting. I haven't seen any Spanish mackerel this far north or as far in as we will be but the straw rigs can double catching them if they are running. It is stated in the Maryland fishing guide that Walleye are in the Chesapeake Bay waters... I can only dream... (I have some rigs for them as well.). I tied up a bunch of ribbon fish rigs last night as well. (I guess they are called belt fish but I like calling them ribbon fish better.) Below is a picture of some we caught while in Myrtle Beach...
They don't look that big do they... Below is a little better picture...
Those things push near four feet long. The meat is good but too boney for me. It goes for $5.00 a pound around here. Teeth like a Gar...but smaller and razors.
We shall see... All we can do is all we can do...
I bought a new cast net that is lighter with smaller holes. I hope to catch some crab and bait fish if around. I could only hope some shrimps were running.
Also made a couple rigs to see if I can snag a flounder with some minnows under the pier.
I have some squid chopped and ready. I like squid because about anything will hit it and it is harder to get off the line...(Have some shrimps too but for some reason I never have much luck with those.)
I am prepared. Watch us come back skunked... 😅

I was 42 as well when I married for the second time. I got divorced in April of 1990 and did not get married again for 10 years, June of 2000.
That’s roughly my story Warrior. A little more than ten years between end of first (1985) and my second (1996.)
I call the period between my two marriages “The Golden Decade.” To which my wife rolls her eyes.
I tell my wife now to not get too crazy because I found out after the first marriage what I was missing being single when I got divorced. She got pissed the first time I said it but realized I was only joking. She still does not like it. I can use it when she starts nagging me and she just walks off. 😋 She says I can be mean sometimes.
One of my old Drill Sergeant buddies who is married to another Drill Sergeant who served with us at the Drill Instructor School at Ft. Sill says I can be heartless too. We used to tease her a lot while serving together. She was the only female we had with us in the school. They both were seeing each other secretly back then because it was frowned upon so, to keep up appearances he used to join me in my teasing of her. She is good with it though and took the ribbing very well.
Just got back from lake Ellsworth which is about a mile and a quarter from my house. Was looking at possible late afternoon/night fishing spots for this upcoming fall when the weather is cold in the morning but warm in the afternoon. Ran into a Wildcat that was also scoping out the area. Probably looking to snag himself a few bank swimming fish.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and clear. Today's high expected around 95°F. We received some rain last night.
Certified letter still has not arrived from FL. App simply says "in transit". Good old USPS.
Heading into the office, so keeping it short.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 61° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. The afternoon forecast will bring mostly sunny skies and a high of 79°.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

Good morning D-League. Cool and crisp in the east again.
Very busy morning. I need to finish a project of combat veterans we interviewed before anyone else gets in. Down the road when it is truly ready, I'll link it here. Some of you guys would enjoy it.
All is well otherwise. Hope you all have a good day.

It is 75° and a high of 82° is expected. We have a system coming in from the Gulf that will bring heavy thunderstorms that may be around a few days. Today is my day for lawn mowing and it may not happen if lightning gets in the way.
I finally went to the doc about my shoulder and start rehab. He gave me a shot and it started getting better. I hope to get it back to avoid the need of surgery. It is the rotor cuff.
Trust all have a nice day. The thunder is loud. I hope this front coming off of the Gulf gets out of here before game time Saturday. The rain is heavy and if you stand in it feels like a bug stinging you.

Mom and dad on their 68th Anniversary on their front porch in Silver Grove, Kentucky.
Dad is 92 and mom is 87. I've very blessed that they are healthy and sharp and have each other.

WEATHER ALERT and Update for our area.
A tropical depression has developed off of the Gulf of Mexico. Our temperature has dropped to 70° and the thunderstorms are heavy. It is expected to last a few days so it may be wet over in Gainesville this Saturday night. So those worried about the temperature might want to bring some rain gear.

Great work BBUK.Amazing but a photo trick.
Edit: when I get to my computer later I will post more to show why.
Edit again:
What a wonderful picture of a loving couple. Thanks for posting this one.
Good morning. It is 65.1°F and sunny. We are supposed to get to 82°F with no chance of rain. This morning at sunrise we actually dropped down to 59°F on the back porch. We have not seen the 50's in a long time. Fall may be on the way.
@MdWIldcat55 you are lucky to still have your parents, that is wonderful.

Thanks Bert. A tremendous blessing that they are able to still function, have each other, and can live in the sprawling old house they bought in 1964.
MdW, which street is that? FYI, Dari Bar closed Labor Day for the year.

One of my favorite spots to visit was Ephesus. Top picture shows it as it was in the time of Paul and below, today. I was amazed at how advanced the city would have been 2,000 years ago.
Thanks! And fantastic! Will be there the 24th - unless Turkey starts a war with Greece by then.One of my favorite spots to visit was Ephesus. Top picture shows it as it was in the time of Paul and below, today. I was amazed at how advanced the city would have been 2,000 years ago.
I was working security in Turkey in the late sixties. The powers that be feared a Turk/Greek war and put us on high alert. We worked 12 hours on and 12 hours off for 3 months without a day off till they decided it would be ok.
Some days you just have to open a can of Spam and enjoy. Today was one of those days so I fried up a can for lunch. Man that stuff is good.
Prayers for the Queen and the British monarchy, along with my dozens of ancesters who fought for and achieved American independance, I ask only these distant cousins be granted the grace and blessings of Jesus during this rough time.

Queen Elizabeth II dies at 96
Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday as members of her immediate family, including her son and heir, Prince Charles, rushed to her side.

A great lady and a great leader. She is a wonderful human being.
Ray Murphy, a friend of mine, owned a horse that in the United States won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness. He lost in the Belmont and did not get a “Triple Crown”. But because he did that, he got a meeting with the Queen, who was a big fan of horse racing.
The U.S. State Department gave him instructions on how to act in the presence of the queen. Of course, Ray who played football for Paul “bear” Bryant at the University of Kentucky, just showed up as Ray Murphy. He did everything wrong but yet the Queen fell in love with an old Kentucky boy that was so genuine and honest, and he fell in love with her.
After that meeting the Queen sent him a birthday and Christmas card every year for the rest of his life. Why? Why would the Queen send Ray Murphy cards? Answer: she is special. She had a heart. She loved. She was special.
A normal monarch does not do things like that. Queen Elizabeth is (that is not a mistake, she still IS) a special person. May God rest and bless her soul.

Everything I've heard about her has been positive. Definitely one of the most beloved figures of our lifetimes. On a side note, I found it unbelievable that she had been Queen through 13 Presidents, starting with President Truman.
She's just messed with our life. Leaving Monday to spend two nights two blocks from Buckingham Place before heading onto Athens. Planned to go to Westminster Abbey for 2nd time, but seriously doubt that will happen now. Her timing is really poor.
Everyone slaps me Sir but, I have broad shoulders... 🤕😉

Hello all,
I hope your days are good. We had a kick-off tailgate party at work today from 2-5... I left a little earlier. Had a Coors beer. Saw some yuengling but stuck with the Coors. Had a burger and chips.
Decent people so far. I think it remains that way and will try to conform but do what is needed. I am thankful...

My daddy was in London for her Coronation in 1953. He brought back my sister and I some gifts and one of mine was a model of the red double decker bus that run around London. I still have it. I was 6 years old when she became Queen of England.Just saw where Queen Elizabeth has passed away. RIP

He brought back my sister a replica of the Coronation Bible. It was red and leather bound. I am not sure if she still has it but I would guess she would. It looked like this.
My toy bus looks like this:
There is something about that name... (Years ago I was blessed to be able to attend several to many of Bill Gaither's concerts. Just awe struck at the songs God gave Bill Gaither....

My Darling made us some rice cake...for tomorrow. Ate a good portion this evening.
I like the plain rice cake. My Darling likes the bean topping on hers...

Good night, D-League!
I'm needing to distract myself from my thoughts and feelings regarding my family member, and will immerse myself in some football for the time being. Not meaning to offend anyone here, as I appreciate all of you, but I just need to stay detached for a bit.
Wishing nothing but the best for all here!
