That was fun. Expected but fun.
I took My Darling to lunch after we took the BB to school, went to the commissary, I met with a couple co-workers at a bank in Alexandria as they needed me as an extra signature guy. My Darling and I ate at the 24 hour Korean restaurant in Annandale, VA. They make good food. Now back home with a cup of coffee and me sitting at my computer. I have to join a meeting now but I am just an observer. Work, work, work...
Feel the same about fishing. Disappointing if I don't get a bite, but always love being out there. Anticipation, Anticipaaaation is making me wait.Good afternoon everyone.
It was a very uneventful day in the tree stands for my wife and I today. Saw a few deer and 1 small buck each. We won't be able to hunt as much the rest of the season so we'll switch gears a bit. We always want to 1. Enjoy just being out there 2. Get some meat in the freezer. 3. Maybe get a good one. It's time to switch from 1 and 3 and concentrate on #2.
Game Day!!
Colder days really cut fishing down to a slow crawl for me. However. hunting would still be open if I did it anymore. Too much of a hassle around here for me. Don't know enough people who own wooded land to go there, and Ft. Sill has too many restrictions so... I usually try to catch a day or so of fishing if we get unusual days of warming during the winter. If not, I bide my time watching fishing videos on You Tube (a lot) getting pointers and just feeding the addiction.Good morning everyone.
Babysitting our great, great niece today so no hunting. It was a good game last night. It would be hard to find something negative to say, but I bet I don't have to look long to find just that on RR.
Be careful @AustinTXCat .
@warrior-cat I can enjoy hunting out in the woods and not doing any good more than on the water and not catching anything. I have been putting too much pressure on myself the last several years trying to make sure Dad enjoys his time on the water.
At Royse City Buc-ee's. 58921 miles. Ha ha, missed Dallas traffic. Next comes long miles and minutes. Hopefully make Arkansas- Tennessee state line before 12:30 pm. Stay tuned.

Good morning D, read 8 this morning. Cold here in the Berg, spitting snow!!
Well another celestial bust! Got up at 4 looked out the window to see if it was clear outside so I could watch the meteor shower, nope cloudy, it was cloudy for the eclipse too, well I will just wait till next month to catch the next meteor shower!
Fried up some bacon for Mrs. M this morning, fixing biscuits, may have to get into the sorghum this morning, put some butter down, then mix it up really good, smear it on the biscuit, really good!!!
Hope the D has a great day and prayers for the D!!!
I haven't seen some of the regulars posting on here, hope they are ok!!!
Good Friday Morning D
Woke up to chilly weather 43° and it was 45° in town. We have that Gulf breeze that cuts through you when the temperature gets below 50°. We will see 64° as the high with a stiff 7mph wind off of the Gulf.
I am headed out to work out this morning. About 2 hours of cardiac only. I leave the weights alone because of my left shoulder rotor cuff injury. Then back home and a little more yard work.
I put on a very nice, very thick, butcher cut beef short ribs and we will have these with some imported Italian noodles this evening. That is a good meal when the chill is in the air. Eating fancy in Dixieland.

I-64 through West Virginia apparently was not built to the specs that it was in Kentucky and Maryland.Howdy folks. Rolling through the mountains of WVA in a fairly serious snowstorm. Outside temps: 26 degrees.
With luck I’ll be in Campbell County around 3pm. My sons driving up from Lexington so it’ll be a nice, if brief, homecoming.
Road is slick as hell and I’m on some serious grades so I guess I’ll start paying attention. I’ll check in later.

I am sure, because it would wear their arms out.I-64 through West Virginia apparently was not built to the specs that it was in Kentucky and Maryland.
Made that trip often and my daughter married a Maryland guy so they still make it often. They only fly when it is a must.

An oldie but a goodie.
Lucky to still have them, Md.Back in Kentucky after a 525 mile drive —lots of snow over the mountain passes but cold and clear in northeast Kentucky. My parents -91, 87 -seem to be doing well. Waiting for my son to come up from Lex and we’ll all head out to supper directly.
Hope you all have a good evening.
My grandson will be there. Beat IU.Heading off to Xavier-IU game shortly. Friend has season ticks & invited me.
Well. I have an incident to share that happened this morning as I started to work out. Some of you will shake your head.Sir,
That's a LOT of cardiac. I hope you don't get arrested....😁

Its a crazy world these days.Well. I have an incident to share that happened this morning as I started to work out. Some of you will shake your head.
So I get there all in a good mood and roaring to go. I check my blood pressure before I left and it was good. Very good. So as I am signing in and getting myself programed for the cardiac workouts a woman hands everything to me and I said, in the way I was taught as a young boy by mama, "thank you mam' " oh boy! Did I mess up.
She blessed me out shouting in a loud voice don't you ever call me mam' again. Never. She was so loud all of the people stopped working out and look my way. So I looked at her and said, don't worry I will ignore you and act as if you do not exist and walked away.
My next stop was the first stop we make when we begin, a blood pressure reading. Well, my blood pressure was 186/82 more than 50 points higher than it ever read. The woman who took it said when is going on? I then told her her co-worker blessed me out for trying to be polite and my blood is boiling over. They took it when I was finished working out and it had dropped by 60 points.
What is wrong with these people. Can't a man treat a woman with respect today.
