Good morning from Nolin Lake near Anneta, KY. Currently 33°F and foggy. Today's high expected around 61°F.

Game Day. Beat the Cards! Finish this season strong.

I drove straight out from Middlesboro area yesterday. Quick trip. Made the drive in under 4 hours.

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

Good morning, D, read Galatians 3 this morning.

I have enjoyed your talk about your first guns, my first one was a Fox double barrel 20, 2 triggers, left was modified, back trigger, right barrel full choke, front trigger. I lost it when had a boating accident on the Green River in 1967, lost my baby brother that day, barge swamped our boat. Other guns most of them are Remington 243, 20 auto, 222 and a 22 pump. I also have my DAD's 22 rifle, it is a bolt action, the type that you have to pull the firing pin back to fire it, I think to put it on safety you have to turn the action a quarter turn to the right. I also have a 22 pistol, H&R 939 with a rectangular barrel, nice little pistol. This pistol is worth a lot more now than when I bought it. I think I gave $69 for it back in the 70's at K-Mart.

Back to the old grind today really, grinding glass, making more ornaments, candy canes and a dog paw. We put up our tree, got it decorated, when we counted what we had left, we had 94.

I hope everyone of the D had a great day on Thanksgiving. Later D!!!!!

So sorry to read about your little brother.

Your Dad's gun may be a Winchester Mod. 67. There were a few types made like this, but I use to collect Winchesters and still have a 67 or 2.

My first gun was a H&R foldable 410. My little brother (17 yrs younger) used it and then a nephew and now it's gone. No one "knew" what happened to it. I would have given plenty to have gotten it back.

Never goes away Storm, that was 1967 and every time I cross the Green River going into Ohio county or to Livermore it brings that day back.
 
Watched an Andrea Bocelli Concert on PBS last night from 2011 in Central Park. They had crowd shots at times & interestingly The Donald & Melania were in the first row. He looked the same with thicker hair but she looked like a kid. Hair parted in middle and long down over the front of her shoulders. Reminded me of 1960's hippie style.
 
Looks like we might have a good game brewing in Columbus. The Buckeyes dominated most of the first half, but Michigan has tied it 10-10 with a 70-yard touchdown resulting from a failed blitz and a missed tackle. Feels like the kind of play that can really define a game.

Don't like either team, but probably dislike Harbaugh and Michigan more.

UPDATE: And just like that, another 80-yard TD and Michigan leads. Crazy game. OSU has dominated the half and trail 17-13.

Bo Schembechler and Woody Hayes.... those were games to remember. (Not that later games are inconsequential...)
 
Wife just let out a scream while clearing out a space for the other cabinet that I had almost completely put together before she woke up this morning. A larger than normal size brown recluse went into the box she was about to go into. I had to take the box outside and empty the contents while she watched. When I got a mattress cover out of the box the spider jumped off of the cover and ran towards her. LOL! She screamed again, took off her shoe and was slapping around at it. She eventually got it and told me it was not funny. I could not help myself. I told her that next time just let me handle it outside.

Not sure if wolf spider is the proper name, but when I lived in Ohio for almost 3 years...at first my place was filled with them, I had these sticky pads put out in 2 or 3 places and the pad would just be filled with a dozen dead spiders. I think they are mostly harmless to humans but I swear they were the fastest spiders I have ever seen, you would try to kill one and it would take off like it was Randall Cobb.

Those can sure cause some damage... (I know them well...) The fiddle is very distinguishable...

Yeah, they get pretty big here and their bite while harmless is painful. We have a lot of recluses here and other types and while cleaning fish earlier this year I built a wooden platform for my wife to filet fish easier and one day she grabbed it, freaked out and took the picture below before killing it. Yes, it was a Black Widow.

Talking about spiders: Jan still has a house in town. It had roof damage from the tornado last year. We did some cleanup work inside today. Just doing a little at a time. Lots of spiders. After the tornado, it took us a full day with a chain saw just to get to the front door. We found the roof damage and went to Lowes to get tarps and other repair supplies. Biden came to town, and they had the roads blocked plus the storm still had roads blocked, so we couldn't get back to the house right away to do emergency repair on the roof. In the meantime, another heavy rainstorm hit. Parts of the ceiling caved in. No one was living there at the time, so no one was hurt. Not sure what we are going to do with it.
