I really enjoy our Christmas boat parade and so do the children
Good morning from ATX. Currently 70°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 80°F.
Worked most of yesterday with MSFT on access issues. Working with those guys and gals again today.
Today is Thursday. Heading into the office, so keeping it short.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
They have a brownie brittle I liked. Had to cut that off cold turkey. I ate it until it was finished. Got to know my limitations BUT, after a bunch of trial testing of my self-control over a period of many months .....😁
Hello All,
Long days but building my cred so it's worth it....

Same here. 286 hrs vacation saved (6.5 weeks) and 964 hrs sick leave (6 mo.)
Considered flying out to FL next month. Found $350 rt ticket on Southwest. Hanging around here instead.
Weird stuff happens in DC Sir. Just weird. My walks after exiting the VRE to and from remind me when I think about several of them.
Sir, I did not know most of my uncle's. I had six and an aunt, but I did know the children....32 including myself.
Though my older brother retired a corporate jet pilot after 33 years and I consider him with no reservations THEE success of our clan, I am the first college and beyond graduate. I never even considered that when I started at 40. I did it as an example to my children. Later on my brother told me and I was shocked.
My Dad had a sixth grade education and my Mom the eigth grade...
I truly wonder how that happened. God in deed provides.... I am thankful...
I walked by FBI HQ every day I went to work.
That's the stop I would tell those that came to visit to get off. We lived in Frederick (New Market), MD so they took the Red Line from Shady Grove...
A couple of those quotes, I have never heard attributed to John but I guess. Sounded a little too harsh but may just be my mood Sir. Thanks
Duetschland is where his heart should be.@cordmaker
You military men, especially the ones who were in Gerrmany may be able to help me with this. Our granddaughter received her German Proficiency Medal that was presented in a special ceremony at the USAF Academy. It was presented by a German officer who is pictured below. I have no idea what rank, etc he is or how to read his insignia, etc. I am not familiar with German military rank.
The Gold Medal is worn under your name tag on the right pocket and it looks like the Germans wear it on the left under their name tag.
I just donated 60 hours of my use or lose to my soon to be, I guess, daughter in law. The gubbernment at least made dough on that exchange...
Memories...(From the Jerky I remember..)... like the yearnings of my gut.... (Yeah, Barbara should have recorded THAT song...)(Her version, The Way We Were.)..was good too. Her weirdoness turned me away from her...)

In fairness BUT, not in the same post. Wouldn't do that to MY Darling....
Congratulations to your grand daughter!@cordmaker

Especially around 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I thought she was Jewish, not Muslim.
Yep, walk around that area.... Just wow...
Never tried Crack obviously but my sister made Christmas Crack and it's definitely addicting.
Another type of crack. Laughed my ass off back then.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 69°F and cloudy. We may hit 79°F again today.
Finally resolved Microsoft issue yesterday, at least via workaround. Workaround involves providing groups read privileges at root level within hierarchy. Now comes clean-up.
Yesterday, I also worked from home. Needed that external connection. Director gave his blessing.
No drinking last night. Feel great today. Happy Friday, y'all.

Good Friday Morning
Another perfect day with 60° at the moment, headed up to 78° this afternoon. Sunny skies and 2% chance of rain.
I have a couple of things going on this morning. A quick doctor visit to go over the lab results from blood work I had last week and then on to the gym for some cardiac workout.
We have all of the Christmas decorations up so I might relax this afternoon next to the pool and just chill for a spell.
But first a hardy breakfast and another cup of coffee. Y'all take care and prayers all are well and slept good last night. I sure did.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 45° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. The afternoon forecast will bring cloudy skies and a high of 54°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
Good morning all,
Should be able to knock off early. The parking lot looks sparse. Got to do what I've got to do. In any event, have a great day!!!

Morning Legionnaires!
44° this morning with a high of mid 50's expected.
Usually train my one student Mondays and Thursdays but since my daughter's birthday was yesterday, I shifted training to today. Spar day where I let her beat me up for a while.
Hate this 1 game a week time of year for basketball. Need some more sporting events (worth watching that is). But, we have a couple games of interest for tomorrow. UK vs Yale and the Army Navy game which I watch every year. GO ARMY! One of my brothers was in the Navy for a few years so some light ribbing for tomorrow expected. Should be a close game although it might be a bit boring as neither are very good.
Watched White Christmas yesterday (always a good one) as it is one of my must watches every season. Along with the usual movies/animated shows I also like to watch Stalag 17 and Donovan's Reef around this time frame.
Well, those working keep on plugging on and those relaxing enjoy your day.
To all: God Bless.
This is "downtown" of my Florida home and it sure is different than the Chamber of Commerce post cards showing Disney World and sandy beaches. But it is a community and Old Florida, a time long past. Wooden ceilings for covered sidewalks is not in modern building plans.
Which small downtown is this? As you probably already know I love the Nature Coast and Old Florida. I sure wish my wife wasn't so much of a home body (mountain girl). But the good far outweighs the bad.This is "downtown" of my Florida home and it sure is different than the Chamber of Commerce post cards showing Disney World and sandy beaches.

@Sawnee Cat We were in both Brooksville and Inverness last Feb. But, we didn't get into the old downtown portion. Hopefully at some point I can talk my wife into staying a couple of weeks vs one. We talked about 2 trips this winter but that's not going to happen.
Good morning folks. Hope all is well.
Chilling in the lobby of a Jiffy Lube, getting my wife’s car serviced so she can take a weekend trip to see family in Delaware with our daughter. I’m skipping this round to finish work ahead of my surgery next week.
Thanks for that shot of Brooksville Sawnee. My mother is from the OTHER Brooksville, county seat of Bracken County, Kentucky, population 500. We used to go there as kids in the early 1960s to get our haircuts -90 cents, and if I kept my mouth shut my parents would forget the dime change —two packs of Topps baseball cards!
Brooksville Kentucky was a classic Kentucky county seat in those days -I remember the county court house had a tower with four clock faces and the times on the clocks never synchronized-it was a different time whichever direction you approached from. I guess it didn’t matter that much in those days. There was a jail in the basement of the court house and my grandfather ended up there once in a while after a drunken night at the local pool hall. I remember when I was about eight going there with my mother one morning to pick him up and he didn’t seem any the worse for the experience. As I recall we went to a local diner and got a plate of what the locals called Bulldog Gravy and biscuits -basically just a thick white gravy made with milk and bacon grease.
Good times.

Same here @Sawnee Cat, she is one fine lady.
River and Obey on territory busily enlarging the Dale Hollow replacement nest they built last year.
Harriet and M15 have a couple of eggs laid within the last week in their southwest Florida nest.
Congrats!

Thank you Bert, coming from you I consider that a high compliment. You raised some beautiful, smart and successful children that you and Shirley must be very proud of.
Parenting is a huge reason kids do well in life. Not that a person without good parenting can't but it sure helps. But this is America and if you really apply you can make it and do well.
I can tell you some very, very good local eating establishments that are known to locals and are not the chains you find in every town in America.
My favorite is Florida Cracker Kitchen and every guest I have taken there has raved about it. My cousin was vacationing at Ann Maria Island and drove up here, over 100 miles, just to eat there. It is very Old South and every thing is made from scratch. It is located right next to the gun shop.
