Good morning folks. Very sunny today. Blinding, in fact, through the windows of the subway. We’ll be underground soon.

My daughter got back from a spring break trip to Athens and Cairo. She caught the traveling traveling bug from her mother and me.

We’re taking a trip beginning this weekend to Istanbul. I was through there a couple times in my younger days but never got to see the tourist stuff. My wife wanted to go, so we’re off for a week.

Meantime, lots of work to get ahead of. Hope you all have a good day.

Have a great trip to Istanbul. It is one of my favorite cities. We last visited in 2014 and Turkey was still a secular state and very friendly to tourist. We stayed in Turkey a few weeks and also went over to Patmos for a long day trip. Lots of good memories and fabulous scenery. I was amazed at the cotton fields and miles of citrus groves. I thought I was back in Florida of the 1950's.

Istanbul is a massive city and spread out for many, many miles. I was very impressed, have a good trip.

Good morning everyone.

The trip to the dermatologist was as expected. I had about 10 spots burned (frozen) yesterday and my wife 2. The Doc jokes all the time that she has practically raised me. I had my first skin cancer 32 years ago while in my 20's. I started going to her almost 30 years ago. I think she is 5-10 years older than me (I don't ask). She has been good to me.

Turkey season begins Sat. I sure don't hunt as hard as I did in the past, but I'll still get out there and enjoy the time in the woods. I'll be going to the lake Sunday and I'll be hunting in the morning and fishing at night. I'll be wore out, but love it.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 54°F and clear. Today's high of 77°F expected with mostly sunny skies.

Yeah, chemo unexpected yesterday. So far, so good, knock on wood. Treatment sessions scheduled again today and tomorrow at 1 pm.

Wishing all a great day.

Yeah,

They didn't render properly. They look like pastries and no grill cheese I ever ate. 😁 (I'd eat one of those though...)

Bless you brother ATXC

Thanks Sawnee. Yeah, I’m really looking forward to the trip. I wish we could stay more than a week and see more areas of the country. Maybe if I manage to retire before I fall completely apart.

The Hagia Sophia turns up on some of the many lists of Wonders of the World. I’d like to check off as many of those —from whatever list —as I can while still more or less mentally sound.

Good morning all,

Working from home my first time in this joint. Not a bad gig. We shall see how the day progresses. Construction going on outside my window but it was expected. Still building this neighborhood.

I am thankful and plan to bug at you all hard today as time permits. Have a great day but remember, I am watching... 😁😬😍

Man what a nice day and I am sitting here looking at it from inside. Sure wouldn't mind having a couple traps out and a couple of lines wet...

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 56°F and clear. Expecting sunny skies with a 78°F high.

Two down, one to go. Another day of chemo in the books. Started at 1 pm, completed before 2:30 pm yesterday. So far, so good, knock on wood. Leaving a bit early for treatment today because traveling by bus.

Wishing all an outstanding Thursday.

MORNING LEGIONNAIRES!

57° this morning with light winds. High in the low 80's with sunny skies and moderate winds.

Have my first cardiologist appointment ever this morning at 0900. Took them this long since my chest pains of 2 March for an appointment. Imagine what it would be like under universal healthcare.

Not much else going on other than hoping the Bat Cats get back on track tonight.

Reds lose again...

Well, it's Thursday and one step closer to the weekend so you folks hold steady, and God bless.

 

[BBUK]

God's protection to you both. Had my bouts and am thankful.

Heading inside, there is a storm brewing that I orchestrated. I ask God's wisdom always but need his hand directly involved as I know it will be. Been there done that but I speak/ type it out loud to proclaim it.

Have a great day. Effect someone for the better...

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Austin, you’ll be in my thoughts today. You got this. Hang in there.

Big day at work today. By late Friday I basically have to have all next week’s work in good shape so I can relax on my trip.

A little clarity on the Cats yesterday. Looks like Dillingham is reliably on board and Ugo is back. I was thinking about this last night: we only really know that two Cats who played much last year are for sure gone —Wallace and Toppin. Wheeler has moved on and Livingston is probably gone, though he kept the door open. Oscar? Fredrick? Hard to say.

I guess we’ll know soon enough.

Back to work. Hope you all have a good day.

Good morning, everyone!

Wow, just an awesome day yesterday. I was able to get plenty of things done around the house, yard, in-laws old place (both gone now) and still had time to sit down for some patio time before supper. Plenty of birds, butterflies, bees etc were active yesterday. We saw our first hummingbird visit our feeders yesterday, checked on the bluebird nest (they have at least 3 eggs), Carolina Wren is again nesting just outside our patio door, and saw more butterflies than I ever remember. Today should be nearly the same.

Lots of news on the who's going to be on the B-ball team yesterday. I didn't see any of it until this morning. Has there been any info about Thiero? I would have thought he would have been one of the first.

Prayers for those that need them (everyone) and I hope everyone has a great day.

Have a great day.

Nothing like a good grilled cheese and bowl of soup, however every time someone post something good to eat, the reply is there is nothing like a so and so.. I have a bunch of "there's nothing likes" LOL

It is a stunning beautiful day in my part of the state with 75° as we creep up to lower 80's. The sun is bright and the sky is clear and blue.

But South of us the rain is falling with monsoon conditions. Miami - Ft Lauderdale had 25 inches of rain since yesterday. I heard a tourist being interviewed on the radio and he said he was driving when suddenly he could not see an inch out of his windshield. He somehow got off to the shoulder of the road and sit there for four hours, not seeing a thing out of his car windows. Yes Virginia, we do get a little rain down here.

Has to be cream of tomato. But yes. Two of the things that makes being Catholic on Fridays in Lent. Tuna salad being another.

Yep, just look at that Ba-ass. That one "lured" me in. It made my worm squirm.

If he could, he wouldn't be fishing 😉.

Checked our bluebird box yesterday, the lady bluebird has 6 eggs. The blue birds don't like any other bird around, I watched them terrorize a starling, I just hope it didn't get in there and lay a couple eggs! Going to check it again later and see if there are any large baby birds in there.

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and clear. Today's high expected around 78°F. Slight rain chance possible later today.

According to scroll along bottom of screen, Fort Lauderdale received a "historic storm" yesterday. Wow. Thoughts and prayers sent.

Side-effects from chemo appear minimal thus far, knock on wood. Nurses say many patients develop higher tolerance to drugs over time. Stay tuned.

Busy day ahead. Happy Friday, y'all.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Heading inside on this day that has .....Blue Sky's, nothing but Blue Sky's from now on...

I'd like to thank Waylon.....


Be somebody today as my Dad used to say. God Bless you all...

Good morning D-League. It's currently 59° and overcast here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will be cloudy to start before giving way to thunderstorms and a high of 76°.

Have a great Friday.

 

[warrior-cat]

MORNING LEGIONNAIRES!

59° this morning with moderate winds. Low 80's for the high expected.

Cardiologist visit did not reveal anything for me yesterday. Nurses hooked me up for an EKG and ask me a lot of questions. The doctor came in afterward for about 5 minutes to tell me to eat good and walk at least 20 minutes a day. Did not tell me the EKG results or much of anything else. I am guessing the results were good. I ask her if I could get a stress test and she talked about the cost, and I told her I don't care about the cost because I have Medicare and Tricare. She then said it would be about 3 months because they are swamped. What ever happened to preventative care?

Bat Cats took a pounding yesterday from the number 1 Ranked LSU Tigers 16-6. It was ugly. Another game tonight at 1830. To watch or not to watch. Can't take too much ugly.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Been working since well before dawn so I can take next week off with a clear conscience.

Beautiful day in the east. I hope we get some more clarity on the basketball Cats' roster today. Keep going back and forth on whether I want Oscar back or whether I'm ready to see a different approach. Pros and COns both ways.

Reds and Lodolo got a win last night. They got a lead that was bullpen-proof I guess.

Hope everyone has a good day.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Friday morning D

Another fine day is on store with a pleasant 68° and a high expected of 85°. Our strong breeze off of the Gulf continues. We may have a thunderstorm in the late afternoon.

Ft Lauderdale had over 25 inches in one day and more may be on the way. Years ago most of the area was sand and an extension of the everglades and rain was soaked up like a sponge but now it is a concrete jungle and the result is flooding. All manmade having nothing to do with global warming.

I trust all are well and we are thankful for the good report from @AustinTXCat and our prayers continue in earnest. May the Lord bring comfort and faith.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Ah pee-cans. I have a very close friend who lives in Dublin, GA and he raises pecans. They are the finest on earth and he keeps me stocked up with them. He sends me shelled halves and also pecan meal that we use to "bread" things like fried fish or cover our prime rib roasts.

I keep a jar around just to munch on. My mother and now my wife made pecan pie that would melt in your mouth. It is my favorite "nut" by far. Peanuts are not nuts so I do not consider them in my favorite nuts. I put peanuts in the bean category and love them boiled and they taste like pinto beans.

Hello all,

Back at the house on this short work day BUT, I have been working and will into the late evening... TAXES... Never remember being this close to this type of issue but if the Lord allows, I will finish before this day is up.

My Darling and I plan on spending most of tomorrow at our old home. Putting the final touches on the cleaning and moving final items... Have it leased starting the 23rd. Have to mow the back yard and pull up the grapes (Due to having some trellis' that are short and too dangerous to leave for a tenant.)

Just got "stuff" to do.... Will try taking My Darling out for something nice to eat though. We have been eating out a lot but it was expected.

I will try checking in from time to time... but uncle calls...

I'm in the market for a new lawn mower (maybe). Honda is at the top of my list but late last year they announced that they'll stop making lawn mowers by September 2023. My concern would be getting parts after they shut down production.

I have a nearly new Kohler and go figure, where I just moved our lawn maintenance is fully included in our HOA. I just don't have it in my heart to sell this mower. Just a 22" mulching mower with large rear wheels and a bagger but darn it is in such great shape... (I know you are very probably talking something much larger...)
