I hope they don't arm wrestle over who does the dishes.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected at around 97°F.

Watched NFL yesterday, including Bengals-Cowboys. Good games.

Queen's funeral on right now. I earlier said wall-to-wall media coverage and was not wrong.

Monday, Monday....

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

Good Monday Morning

It was a nice weekend for football. Cats won and pitched a shutout and can get much better, especially the O-Line and running game.

We have 74° as we wait patiently for the sun to rise. Our high will hit 84° and there is a 58% chance of scattered showers. A typical September day.

I trust all are well and in good health and spirits.

Morning Legionnaires!

High 90's expected today with light winds. Same ole same ole.

Face timed with my 5 grandchildren last night at 6:15. They were extra talkative and energetic. 8-year-old girl, 6-year-old triplet boys, and a 5-year-old boy. They had all been to a local county fair on Saturday, so it was fresh in their minds. One of the triplets had taken second place with apples he took to show at the fair and was very happy with himself.

After about an hour facetiming my son (Marine for 4 years and spent time fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan) told us he has taught them the 5 basic safety rules for handling and shooting guns (keeps his locked up). He had them recite the rules and in unison they all did. It was impressive how well they had them down but, he does the same with Bible verses, The Pledge of Allegiance, and has them learning the Constitution and the Bill of rights. Moreover, his wife does. They are all home schooled by her and are learning things the right way. Their foundation is in the word of God so I know they will be raised correctly.
 
That's a nice photo of Cumberland Falls, 41102.

When I was about 17, I had two buddies, one of whom was a little wild and the other one who was trying to fly right - he even had a job he was conscientious about as opening manager at a local Roy Rogers franchise.

One Friday night we were out drinking, and the budding assistant manager says, "I'm going to take a nap in the back seat. Please get me up early so I can get ready for my shift."

My other buddy and I keep drinking, and after way too many beers get the idea that it'd be cool to see Cumberland Falls. Which was about 200 miles away. All we knew is it was south and we figured we could find it if we just headed in that direction.

So we drive through the night, with our buddy still sleeping in the back. We actually get to the park not far from the falls just about sunrise. The guy in the back wakes up, and we tell him we're at a local park, Campbell County lake, and we're just going to take a short stroll then we'll get him home.

You can hear the falls roaring well before we get there and the guy is looking puzzled. Finally there it is: this magnificent falls. And our buddy stares for a second and says, "I've been to this park many times, but I don't remember that water falls."

We had to break the bad news to him that we weren't at the local lake and he wasn't getting to his job. He took it pretty well, called in sick, and we actually had a pretty nice time.

There he goes goldbricking again. How many remember that term?
I'd heard of it, but didn't know till I looked it up that the term gold brick came from the late 1800's when con men would try to pass off gold plated bricks (with the inside worthless metal) as solid gold bricks. By the early 1900's it had come into military jargon.
 
What’s worse, an entitled, drunken frat boy firehosing taxpayer money on every hoser who might vote for him or a senile old fool who has never held a real job firehosing taxpayer money on every sad sack who might vote for him. Incredible those are the choices.

Hello all,


If I was a little older, I'd have coined that term. I can do it! 😁

MAN I just got back from a disaster area. Took the BB and Little BB to TGIF's. Only one Mom was present along with me and My Darling. Those two went berserk. (Very unusual but I was totally embarrassed, da brudder waiter got a hefty tip... He weathered it like a pro.) I was wasted.....

The hostess listened to me at least and gave us a booth away from the main body of customers.....

I was hoping for the 7pm slot. Oh well, I guess they think LSU-Auburn is a better primetime game than 2 more than likely undefeated teams.🙄



I was surprised to see this week's game against Northern Illinois is on ESPN2...almost never see us playing a little opponent on anything other than SEC Network.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear with periodic clouds. Today's high expected around 97°F.

Local talk radio described a recent crime spree hitting Austin yesterday. Couple guys will stalk someone withdrawing money from back teller and rob them. Happened again yesterday. Lady called in and reported another hit about an hour after crime occurred. Folks are losing $2-4,000 or so at a time.

Co-worker totaled her SUV over the weekend. She's shaken up, but okay.

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

Morning Legionnaires!

Grass cutting morning after workout. Need to get it done before the heat rolls in. 98° for today and tomorrow.

@AustinTXCat Pepperoni is my favorite pizza. May have to break my lower calorie days eating for one day and get one with extra pepperoni on it. Daughter will go for it because she loves pizza.

Thought for the day:

Good morning folks. Waiting out yet another mysterious subway delay. This three days a week commuting schedule is not too bad but zero days will be better still.

Another beautiful day in the east. We’re late enough into September this far up the coast that we may not get any more really hot days.

Not much going on yet, so I’ll catch up with you all later. Hope it’s a good day.
