Wow,
Really sorry for the tragedy's. Insurance, yeah..no fun at all. The only thing you ever buy, you never want to use... Hoping you get what you want. My daughter was driving in the hail storm in San Antonio about 2014 or so and it totaled her 2012 Mazda 3 we got her before we left for Korea. When I got back we bought her a new one and I kept that Mazda 3 and am still driving it. Has a junk title after I bought it back totaled from the insurance company. The junk title let's me pay about $75 a year in "usage" tax versus about $300. Worth it's weight here. Have had several offers just due to the junk title. Now that we have moved I may buy My Darling a new car if this country takes a turn and take her Camry as my own.
FINALLY just got back from finishing our house for the new Tenants.... Now for our "New" home... My Darling told me we could do this one slowly. I plan on putting the RO system in after church tomorrow...We shall see.

Man that sucks Storm. Hopefully insurance picks up the damage.HI everyone,
Yes, I'm still kicking. Night fishing and turkey hunting at the lake this week wore me out. No turkeys for us and not many fish...no stripers that I was after. But, we got plenty accomplished at the place while we were there.
Woke up this morning to a big tree that took out the bed of my truck (and the windshield, slightly caved in the roof, with dents in one of the rear doors and the hood. Also, got the roof windshield of my SxS and the roof of my wife's SxS. Dread the insurance....don't want them to total my truck. It's been a good one without too many miles. 2017 w/ 42,000.
Oh well, just material stuff. God has blessed me more than I deserve anyway.
I hope everyone has a great day.
Beautiful night for the nation's largest fireworks show. Used to be the world's 2nd largest behind Bastille Day celebration.
I had a Ford Ranger several years ago. It was old, but very low mileage. I decided to drop full coverage to save money and just use the legal minimum. A few days later a tree fell on it. Not the smartest move I ever made, but was playing the odds.
A few years back, a tornado came pretty close to our little town and was just north of us. I could see it from my front yard. It missed us but the weather pattern with it did drop hail on us that beat up my truck a bit. Picture below is one of the hail balls that were hitting around our home and vehicles. That is my hand and I used to be able to palm a basketball to give you some scale.
Hey D-Ler's. Been busy with other stuff. I hope everyone is doing well.
Just finished watching the first episode of this seasons...
Weird stuff going on out there in Utah.

A late night but just settling down. I hope all are well and sleeping deeply.

Good Sunday morning everyone!
Thanks for the well wishes on the truck. It's been a good one and was hoping it would take me to 70. I dread working with the insurance and truck shopping/body repair. But, inconvenience is not a big deal. It will put a damper on my hunting and fishing this spring though.
I didn't get on the internet at all during my week at the lake. Refreshing (no offense, lol). And I get back to see 2 more transfers out of Big Blue country. Hopefully we'll know who is on the team by the end of May.
I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday.

Yeah, I'm bad about that too. Not this time though.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 42° and partly sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 55°.
Have a great Sunday.

That is a tough one Storm. I have an older model 2000 Ford ranger Off Road 4x4 that I bought new in the fall of 2019. It is in excellent condition and I would hate for it to be a total loss. No way I could replace it.HI everyone,

But as you say, just material stuff. God has blessed us and that is our focus in life. The best to you as your find a replacement. If that is the result of this storm.
Yesterday was Recognition Day at the USAF Academy and also my granddaughter's birthday. She has spent the last week going through hours of physical training, being awaken at 2:00 AM and having to dress in 5 minutes and screamed at as upperclassmen make you recite USAF Academy material while doing push ups. Oh well you know the drill.
But it was rewarding in the end because at the conclusion of days of pushing the Cadets to the limit they were welcomed and recognized as a complete part of the Academy and given a reception banquet with full dress uniforms and cheers from the 4,000 Cadets
So while most 19 year olds get cake and ice cream on their birthday, she got this. KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN CADET AND KEEP MOVING , CLASS OF 2026

Forgot to mention a bear tore down our bird feeder again on the porch this morning. He didn't stick around long and even crossed the foot bridge that's in the picture of the truck. Don't know if you can see it, but the yellow sign on the rails is a Bear Crossing sign. 
Someone forgot to secure the boat to the trailer, just sayin'
We had a light frost this morning. I don't know if it did any damage but April 23rd is a little late for a frost in this part of the world. It is a sunny 46°F now, but we are only supposed to get to 55 today.
Hope you all have a good Sunday.

Good morning all,

Went to Earlington yesterday to my old High School. 1974 was last year for being High School then it went Junior High and is now an Elementary School. Was an open school walk through before it will be closed down at the end of the school term. When it does will be the first time since the early 1900’s that Earlington will have no schools. Frustrating and sad.

Hello again,
Been something different about our church since the new pastor arrived. I am touched but I have again been touched by a godly presence I haven't felt in a long while. Too long...
Pray for me if you have a mind to, I am thankful.
Going to watch a YouTube video about my RO installation, then install it....already installed a couple but been years in between. Need a refresher course... Here I go, can't do too badly, the BB is helping. He's a good worker. (Seriously).

Hey Cat, my son and daughter-in- law live in Earlington, grandkids went there. Also my daughter-in-laws father and uncle played on the 67 team.
MORNING LEGIONNAIRES!
43° this morning with light winds. Low 60's expected today with a slight chance of evening showers.
Normal Monday with a workout shortly this morning, walking the Monster after, train my student at 0930, and then, taking Kato (cat) to the vet at 13:15 with a foot injury (can't walk on it, kick his enemies, or climb his favorite tree).
Well, that is about it for me this morning. Those of you grinding it out still, be careful out there and @AustinTXCat enjoy your trip.
Oh yeah, one last thing, I breached the 200lb barrier this morning weighing in at 198lbs. (took a while but...).
Good morning all,
Heading inside....(to rest)...
Lots to do though. The tenants got moved in, that part is finished until tomorrow,.
The RO system is installed. I drained it this morning before I left. Filling up for first usage now. Takes a couple hours...
Thankful no hiccups.
Now the new joint... At least I don't have far to crawl each day... 🤔...
Have a day, then give out a good day to whoever you come in contact with....
God Bless you all...

Good morning folks.
Back from my trip to Istanbul. We really had a fantastic time. It's a beatiful city with 2,500 years of history for me to explore. Took a nice boat trip up the Bosphorus to the Black Sea, went inside all the spectacular mosques and the churches dating back to 350 ad in some cases. Took a short ferry ride between Asia and Europe - I think that's the only palce on earth you can do that. And the food was terrific.
Enough about that. Back to work today. I hope you folks all had a good week.

Fantastic @MdWIldcat55. What a great trip.
Turkey remains one of my favorite spots to visit. So rich in history and beauty. I was blown away by Istanbul. Before I went, I should have done some research. I don't know what I was expecting but when I got there the size of that place was incredible. I had no idea it was so far spread out over two continents. I had imagined it was like a Memphis, TN with a large city but once you cross the Mississippi River bridge small town Arkansas. I sure was wrong about that.
Good morning from Forge Ridge, TN. Currently 31°F and sunny. Today's high may reach 60°F. Cleaned frost off car windows just a few minutes ago. Heh.
Enjoying vacation. Too bad it's so short. Great seeing daughter and granddaughter.
Wishing y'all a great start to your week.

Thanks Sawnee. I was really amazed by the history of the place, and the immense size of it. We had a guide who was a PhD in archeology and a self-described "secular Muslim" who was at home talking about a Greek city that dated back before Alexander the Great, the Roman city that became Constantine's legacy after his conversion to Christianity, the Hagia Sofia which was the largest Christian Church in the world for over a THOUSAND years, and then the Ottoman Empire which yielded some incredible architecture and it's own thick layer of history. We were there the day they re-opened the massive Blue Mosque, and well into the evening after all the Muslims had toured the place we slipped inside. It just boggles the mind that such a place could be built when it was.
When I was there the Blue Mosque was open but construction was going on. They were removing wall coverings that showed the early paintings and decorations that were covered by the Muslims. What was amazing is the Muslims did not destroy this fine art and priceless painting in the ceilings and walls but just covered it. Most places were destroyed, not covered.
Our guide was also a secular Muslin and said he had not been inside a Mosque for worship in his life. He identified as a Muslim but knew very little about the religion.
Actually never seen one of them before. Could come in handy though. I have a camouflaged minnow bucket with a spinning top I can sit on and rotate to each poll if I fish sitting down. Most of my fishing is on the bank walking to and frow or wading waist to chest deep. On occasion I sit in the kayak but mostly I move because I mainly bass fish.
