Good morning folks. Glad to are feeling pretty good and eating well during your treatments Austin.

I have my last physical therapy session this morning at 7:30 am. I'm ready to move past this stage. My hip feels perfect and my leg mucles feel strong and pain free. Now, my LEFT knee, that's another story. One step at a time.

I need to get on the road to make the session so I'll wish you all well and check in later.

Good Morning D

It is Friday and Cracker Barrel is having a special on catfish. I know where I am headed. The weather today will be pleasant, 67° and the high should reach 82°. We have a better chance for rain today than yesterday, 15%.

Thankful for the good report from Austin. He is a fighter and fighters win. I will do some tweaking on my sprinkler system today. I am not getting enough pressure to the sprinkler heads. Should be an easy fix.

Take care all,

iu

We use to enjoy the grilled fish at Cracker Barrel, but my wife's allergy to unbleached flour now prevent us from going. She can't even go in Cracker Barrel or Little Ceasar Pizza. The flour in the air chokes her up.

Have you eaten at Taste of New Orleans in Brooksville? Love seafood and Cajun.
 
Good morning everyone.

Woke up again before 4 AM. I go through spells so it may be a while before a good nights sleep again. We watched our 2 year old great, great niece all day yesterday. She's pretty smart and very spoiled.

A pic from my hike the other day. When I moved down here from central KY at 22 I had never been to SE KY and didn't know what it looked like. This pic is from the top of Pine Mtn (2nd tallest in the state) looking down at my home area. If you see the wide spot at the gravel road follow that ridge below it a little ways, on the left side of that ridge facing the stand of pine trees I'm right there typing on the D-League thread. You can't see the house...we're tucked up into a little holler.

No, I have not but I have talked to folks who rave about it. I love seafood and Cajun too and need to check it out.

Good morning all,

As John stated when asked in "McClintock"...."Day off?". G.W.- "Off day"....


I cannot tell you how many things are going on today and tomorrow but this has to stop soon... The dependence, needs to taper off and it is going to.... One way or the other...

In any event, have a great day...

I love the mountains.
 
It is a cooler 48°F and sunny this morning. It was unseasonably warm yesterday and the wind was bad.

@AustinTXCat good to hear that you are tough as a pine knot. The best of luck to you as you fight this thing.

@Sawnee Cat I am a country boy. I love small bergs and the country. In Florida in 1976, the year I first moved to Florida, there was country and little towns all over the place. It was a totally different area than the one I moved from in 2000. We would drive to Gainesville to the Kentucky games and much of the way it was forest. The population growth of Florida has totally changed the state in the time I was there. Florida in the 70's was roughly twice the population of Kentucky and by 2000 it had gone from around 7 million to 16 million. Now it is up to over 22 million. So those small bergs are getting harder and harder to find.

PS
I have no faith in the Cats tomorrow. Cal needs to get his head out of his butt.

To your PS, I fear that is a permanent attachment that will require major surgery to remove.
 
I bought the two President Trump books. I am starting "The Art of the Deal" first.

I haven't read a book in a real long time other than the Bible or training books... We shall see...

Oh, I do have my taxes to do as well...😥 (Complex to the max this time around...)
 
One of my favorite spots to hang around is Aripeka, FL (pop.323) It is the 843rd largest city in Florida and the 21,594th largest city in the United States. It was a favorite fishing spot for Babe Ruth, he had a fishing cabin there. To say it is off the beaten path is an understatement. My kind of city. LOL

Bill Buckley is my political hero, bar none.

"Bill Buckley did not resuscitate American conservatism. He did not rejigger it. He created it." That is no exaggeration.


Two things,

I retain a copy of an article he wrote for a ski magazine about being in Zermatt and meeting a number of interesting people. He loved to ski. I loved to ski, but not Zermatt. I still do love it but my dang knee doesn't allow it anymore - so far at least. We'll see. I'll hope if nothing else.

My former boss attended Dartmouth and Buckley delivered a speech there. Afterwards, my boss and other student friends talked with Buckley and he invited them to his home in Stamford, CT. So they went - well of course, who wouldn't? He entertained them playing his harpsicord! who do you know that plays a harpsicord much less has one?
 
A statement used in my daughters on line Quantitative analysis class/course.

What the Hell!

Ha, I sat through a quantum computing seminar on a Teams meeting about a week ago and the guy conducting the class couldn't stop chewing his gum long enough to talk. After about ten minutes of gum chewing obnoxiousness, I coughed out a loud drawn-out bullschmidt type cough on an open mic. I think he swallowed his gum but I got his attention.

The class was at least reasonable from that point. The agenda with quantum computing is not on topic yet in forums I have sat-in on, it is mostly sales meetings. No time for that crap, either put out something substantive or go home...

Adding my two cents on quantum computing is harnessing the non-end-points of the targeted information to be able to use it in ensuring mass accuracy along with using non-targeted information. (Yeah it sounds stupid, hence the need for better articulation in a learning environment.)

I can get into a little AI and Robotics.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 37°F and clear with a light wind out of the northwest. We should warm to 58°F. Morning walk might be little chilly.

Third day of chemo complete. My monster, steroid-induced appetite remains intact. Radiation treatment begins next Wednesday. Real test comes then. Stay tuned.

Got together with former engineering colleagues at Buffalo Wild Wings last night. Lots of fun celebrating and discussing old times. I really needed it. May hit up Oktoberfest in Germany with them.

Modern problems: This past Thursday, trash man picked up our trash and lost our can in his truck his truck. SOB! Wife called city. City services are supposed to bring us a new can today, but I'm not waiting around. Plan on emptying full bag in one of many dumpsters down the street later this morning.

Game Day. Plan on tuning in after return from errands later this morning. Go CATS!

Wishing all y'all a happy, enjoyable super awesome day!

We expect good weather over the month. Baseball Spring training starts soon so if they like baseball maybe they would want like to take in a game. Or practice . The Philadelphia Phillies have been in Clearwater for 77 years.

Spectrum Stadium is right off U.S. 19. Easy to get to.
