34 years for me. 67 for the folks. I usually get my wife something like a massage or bath and body stuff but this year I got her a luxury pillow and a good bottle of French champagne. If she spills champagne on that pillow I'll be pissed.
It is a sunny 53.8°F on our way to a warm 67° with 50/50 chance of rain. We could use some rain.
The balloon crisis is pure stupidity and our President is simply absent without leave. His Sect. of State and Defense are dumb shits. I can't believe this is happening. Then the borders. GEEZE.
I got the same. I was aiming to post something meaningful, but now I have forgotten it!I've been getting a "forbidden" warning on this site all day. Couldn't get it. Obviously somebody like Bert put a hex on me.![]()

Equivalent of 82 years everyday! Mind blowing.Another factoid:
How many hours of new video are added to YouTube each day? I couldn't believe it.
Seven hundred and twenty thousand. So everyday you get 719,976 hours further behind. 🤣
Sec of Transportation basically absent with the toxic train derailment. It seems that this admin at almost every position is negligent and lazy. Appointments by social justice status. Checked the box with no consideration given to capability or experience. In times of crises, they disappear.It is a sunny 53.8°F on our way to a warm 67° with 50/50 chance of rain.

June 16th for us.I also got married in 2000. I didn't want to try and remember how many years we'd been married, so I made it easier for myself 😉.

May 26th for us.June 16th for us.
Been there Sir and will be again... my goose sense is failing...
You're not fooling me. Birds are very intelligent creatures. BTW, we really like the Hagees and saw them in person in Louisville a few years ago.
Good morning everyone.
I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day. It was good here. I hope the wind dies down a bit this afternoon so we can get a hike in. I sure don't want any trees falling down on us.

Wildlife Wednesday. This was a dozen or so years ago when we first started using trail cameras. I was trying to get bear pictures, but ended up getting a couple of KY Wildcats (bobcats). I've seen several through the years including a moma with a cub this past hunting season.
I hope everyone has a great day.
We attended Cornerstone church about four years while we were in San Antonio, My Darling was in the choir. We were able to be involved a goodly amount. We are thankful...
Soon, very soon. Do you know where this spring is? It looks familar.Good morning D
If you like cool mornings, plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures this is a perfect day for you. 62° with bright sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. 82° will be the high with 0% chance of rain. The winds are SSW at 10 mph. The Gulf is relatively calm.
Headed over for a workout and try to loosen up these bones. Trust all are well.

We watch them about every Sunday prior to going to our church here. My wife calls Cornerstone her "home" church all the time. Almost went to San Antonio a few years ago for vacation mainly to attend Cornerstone. Maybe one day.
Weeki Wachee River not far from Linda Pedersen Park close to Hernando Beach.Soon, very soon. Do you know where this spring is? It looks familar.
I'd be tempted to take Bama in that game too. I can see why that line intrigues you.@Bert Higginbotha
Bama +3.5 underdogs at Tennessee. Yeah, Bama got destroyed on the road against Oklahoma but have won 4 straight including a road win again rival Auburn. Tennessee has lost 3 of 4 with a win against Auburn where neither team managed to score 50.
I know you really study the UK games, do you watch a lot of SEC basketball? From what I can tell Bama has one guy questionable and Tennessee has 2 starters that are game time decisions...everything to me says bet big on Bama, especially since they are giving you points.
Changes the odds a little but I might move the line to Bama as a +4 underdog just so I get a push if if they lose by 4. Not just Bert...anybody let me hear your opinion. Tennessee has not been playing well at all...unless there is some info I'm missing, everything points to betting big on Bama. Normally I don't ask for betting advice, but I'm thinking about betting more than I usually would on a single game on this one. ESPN matchup predictor analytics has Tenn as a 69 percent chance to win the game...I'm really confused by all the confidence on Tennessee in this one...I would think Bama would be a 2 or 3 point favorite, not an underdog.
Way back when, the nco club on base had slot machines. A buddy of mine won several thousand over a couple of days on the quarter machines. Finally I thought I'd try it. Lost 20 bucks in less than 5 minutes. That was a lot to me back then. It cured me of the gambling habit. Btw, my buddy eventually lost a lot of it back.I'd be tempted to take Bama in that game too. I can see why that line intrigues you.
But then I remember the few times I've visited Las Vegas and the billion - yes with a B - dollar properties that line the strip and realize all that came from people thinking they could outsmart the guys setting betting lines. And I put my money back in my pocket.
Actually, I'm one of the few guys ahead of Vegas lifetime. I'm 1-0 in bets in Vegas and it happened by accident.
Early April, 2012 my wife's college roommate who had worked her way up to a job as head of PR for a hotel chain, invited my wife to join her on a getaway at that chain's property in Vegas. I stayed home with our then-school age kids.
So, the night of the NCAA championship game, I get a call from my wife, who has obviously had one too many margaritas. "How confident are you that Kentucky wins tonight?" "Pretty confident, actually." "Will they win by more than six points?" "I think so."
Only the next day did she tell me both she and her ex-roommate bet $100 on Kentucky giving six based on my word.
Werner Klemperer, and I did not Google. I like to test my mind from time to time to see if I can remember actor/people names. It helps me keep track of how far I am along in my brains age. I am pretty good on old shows and names, but my short time memory needs some work.Thanks for these... Very interesting...

Ouch! That one hurts.
Spent two weeks in Vegas (one week at a time) Dec 96 and Dec 97. Went with some friends who wanted me to drive so they could sleep. I did not have much money, but they said they would pay for everything if I drove. Drove one of the guy's Diamonte and it took 17 hours from Lawton OK to get there. They immediately went to gamble upon us getting there while I went to sleep. I later caught up with them but did not stay long as they were gambling a lot. I just walked around the next few days seeing the sights and playing the nickel, dime, and quarter slots.I'd be tempted to take Bama in that game too. I can see why that line intrigues you.
