D-League

It was 6°F when I got up to shower. The electricity went off at 6:50 am and have gone out each hour for 15 minutes at ten till the hour. It is I assume roving blackout to avoid something worse. It is up to 10°F now.

I have a house full. Christmas Eve and a lot of cooking needs to be done if the lights stay on!

Merry Christmas to all my buddies on the D-League.

Good morning, D, read Luke 24 this morning.

We are up to a balmy 11 degrees!

We made homemade Saulsberry Steak last night, the best I have ever had!!!! If any of the D needs a recipe, I have a good one!!!!

I had a lady come by the house last night, she bought 10 more crosses, so I just gave her one for being a good customer. They also bought two THIN RED LINE BADGES for their friends. I have sold more pieces of glass in the last two months than I have sold since i have been working stained-glass!!! Thank you, SC, for being part of it!!!!

I hope the D, has a great day and prayers for the D!!!! I hope all the D, has a great Christmas with your family! Tomorrow will be the first time we will all be together since we lost JP, GOD IS GREAT!!!!

Merry Christmas Eve folks.

Hope all the preparations are done and all that’s left is the anticipation for tomorrow. I’m mostly there. Will help my wife anyway I can as she starts getting things ready for Christmas dinner. It’ll be just us, the kids and her mother and stepfather.

Some serious damage in our neighborhood from that windstorm, including a house right down the way with a roof partially crushed by a huge tree that snapped like a matchstick.

Seriously cold today. Enjoyed the talk about coldest memories above. Some of you will recall it got cold in January and early February up on the Iraq-Saudi border in 1991. I was embedded with the “Quarter Cav,” 1st Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, which was screening -and scouting attack lines into Iraq for the 1st ID, and they were sleeping outside —too crowded in their Bradley’s and APCs.

But the coldest I think I got was on a pipeline job putting a major gas line across the Susquehanna River in Central Pennsylvania in the late fall/ early winter of 1980.

Our crew was welding up the section of pipe that was eventually to be pulled across the river and tied in on both ends. Then it was buried in a trench blown by underwater charges placed by scuba crews and anchored with huge concrete weights. For us, that meant days in a frozen trench with the wind off the river knifing through us. Damn, just writing that has me needing another cup of coffee.

Have a great day folks.

Was there on the Saudi Iraqi border too with the 5/18th FA BN 75th FA BDE in support of the 101st and 7th Army.

We're back...sitting a while at my computer watching some short clips eating cookies(low sugar, not much on sugar except for cake...), drinking coffee, and sorting through mail. I cannot tell you how the Hispanic population has exploded....just unreal in the several stores we were at.
(Just an observation as we have lived here since late 2016.) Going to the same stores...

I started watching the Quiet Man last night, will finish it up now...

Masterful work Cord Sir.... Masterful work! @cordmaker


Edit: That USA with the cross got to me. Thank you again Sir! (I'd pay for one of those!)
Click to expand...
BBUK, the ones with USA (STAR and Cross) they are supposed to represent the branches of MILITARY, I was going to put the colors for each branch in the middle, those are US Army. I never could come up with anything that I really liked, so I went with a star, an ex-NAVY gave me his approval on it, so that is what I made. He bought three ARMY ones for his family!!! When I gave him his Navy one, I saw him tear up but he wouldn.t cry in front of me, he called me later after he said he collected himself (his words) and called, just said I didn't want you to see me cry, I went to the basement!!!! The funny thing is this guy never shuts up!!!!! I later talked to his wife, I told her I left him speechless; her exact words were, can you make him be more speechless for me!!!!! LOL

Yes Sir, I only spent 4 years in the Army (Always thought I should have retired Army but it didn't work out health-wise.)(I am making up for it though!) but the one with the cross got me. (The others too as I can imagine you working on them and knowing the effort and care involved.) If you have another one or make another one that resembles that one with the cross, I'd sure buy it. (I already know that anything you'd make would look good!)

Great hearing from you @starchief5 and @catfaninsc .

Meanwhile, $94.43 for 6 months walking around. Cashed in today rather than next June because interest rates are so good.

Buy a good fruit cake and send it to me. I actually like fruit cake. Bought one of those fruit cake strips they have at Walmart today to try it. Not bad. Told my wife if there are any left over after Christmas I will buy some more.
