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.

We do not have a president, just a face standing up like a puppet. Somebody behind the scenes is driving this train and right straight to hell for all of us.

The damage being done may be permanent.
 
Between my wife and daughter, I will hit about the average posted above. I don't go too far and if I did, my wife would want the receipt to return it. That would never happen though as I throw away receipts understanding that she would take it back. I used to spend more, but after a few years of griping I learned my lesson.

Since this is my second marriage and I waited until after retirement from the Army to get hitched again (first wife 10 years all in the Army) we will be married 23 years in June. Not hard to count the years since it was 2000 when we got married.
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 😉.
 
Hello,

"I'd Rather Have Jesus"

If you've never heard Matthew Hagee sing this is a good one where he sings a little bit. Matthew Hagee is the son of John Hagee...

His preaching is as well received. A blessing can be had worshipping God in a Hagee service (Many other services as well but not all.). God Bless you all...

It is happening on purpose Sir! Yeah, on purpose. How's that for communist leadership? Destroying any country is easy when you have communistic leadership... Very easy.. No fight at all so it seems.

Hello all,

My Darling and I have been married for a good amount of years nearing 4 decades come April 3rd. Suffice it to say I had a rough time prior to My Darling. Anything we have is due to her. I am thankful.. All I did was wish her a Happy Valentines Day today. My Darling loves flowers but she loves growing them, not receiving a bunch unless they're potted. We will go out to eat in the next few days as soon as we are able. (I think Thursday as My Darling has her appointment after her MRI yesterday concerning her back.) I hope it's something that can be easily fixed, I know if I could, I'd take whatever is coming for her.

I have some back issues too but for now mine is just some occasional pain. Pain I can bare. I am thankful... God will provide our needs.

Have a peaceful evening. I plan to work from home tomorrow and Thursday. I may be able to "bug" a lot more.

I saw the site had some fatal errors earlier....
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 48°F. Today's high expected around 79°F. Turning colder tomorrow.

Cats at Mississippi State Bulldogs, 7:30 pm CST tonight. Which team shows up? Stay tuned.

Wishing all a productive, awesome day.

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.
 
Good morning all,

Hard at it... As hard as you can work and still sit in a chair. I should be stationary most of the day except I will help out My Darling at a couple strategic points with the two youngest grandchildren. I will have to take an hours leave or so to do it.

I do plan to traverse our stairs though eight or ten times extra today as my steps have been down a lot these past two weeks.. Got my eating back under control but have to get the activity spiked. Another day, another...

Have a goodun...
 
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.
 
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.

Sunny and 61.2°F here. We are supposed to get to 74°. We only got .03 inches of rain yesterday. I was hoping for more.

I don't expect the Cats to do much. I have basically given up on their ability to be a good team. I hope I am eating crow the rest of the year, but it looks bleak.

I must work on some taxes today. I hate it. A dentist would be far more welcomed.
 
Good morning folks. It was rainy and cold this morning as I made my way to work.

Game day. Hard to muster much enthusiasm for it.

There's one other woman who works here who is a big Kentucky fan. She's in another department and I rarely see her but I bumped into her at lunch yesterday. She's always been a major Cal supporter, but said yesterday she and all her family in the Lexington area are adding their voices to the 'Cal Must Go' at the end of the year movement.

I don't think there is much chance of that happening, but it is sad to see the fanbase all over the country so dispirited and divided.

Lots of work to do, so I'll catch up with you folks later.
 
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...

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.

An aside on John Hagee,

We were at a service where Pastor Hagee was anointing people that came forward. It was a service to remember. I was in the line and when I got up to pastor Hagee and he anointed my head, he must have had a handful of the oil. When he daubed me on my forehead head it ran all down in both eyes, my face, mustache, mouth, chin, neck, chest, stomach, and stopped at my belt inside my shirt. I never removed that oil and let it absorb into me. (Ruined the shirt but I didn't much like that shirt anyway and used it to work on our cars after that until it was useless.) ;)

I never like large crowds but that was an exception in Pastor Hagee's services. Many dignitary's attended especially Israeli dignitaries. Mayor's and Governor's from different states and cities attended. Randy Travis (Randy was there multiple times.) and a few other celebrities. (The Holy Spirit moved in many services. I know, the anointing was real.) The services were not geared to that but they happened and were welcomed.)

Pastor Hagee brought in and brings in tons of dough as you'd imagine BUT, I saw at so many functions he gave the dough away just as readily to support Christian causes. (I've seen ten million dollar checks go to causes to promote/ help Israel and a large swath of other causes. I do not know how much Cornerstone took in but I do know lot's went out. (I do not have comparison figures but I cannot imagine Pastor Hagee and family pilfering, though they do live well and Pastor Hagee lived in the same gated community that George Strait lived/ lives in at the time but I do know Cornerstone gave out lots of dough to Christian causes.

Jesse Deplantis was there in our service one Sunday right after the hurricane in Louisiana. Cornerstone donated seven figures as I remember to that cause as well, as Jesse flew to SA in his private jet. (I liked Jesse's message but he seemed to be one of the God will give you wealth if you want and ask for it Pastor's. I never agreed with that philosophy but won't go into why at this time.) Other items I remember well but I will stop for now..

I was thankful to have been associated with that church when we were there. We attended a Korean Baptist church as well during our time in SA too but that was short-lived. (I may tell a story some day about what happened when we went back to visit that Korean church as I sat in the men's Wednesday night bible study.)

Pastor Hagee played a mean saxophone as well.

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.

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.

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.
 
Thanks for these... Very interesting...

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.
