Good Saturday Morning D
71° with mostly clear skies. We may receive some scattered rain showers, which means it may be raining on the other side of the road and dry on my side. The high will be 85° with plenty of sunshine. There is a big Blueberry Festival over in Brooksville that I might drop by for. It is always fun, and they shut the streets down in the whole town for pedestrians. One of the highlights is their blueberry wine.
Take care all,

Have a great day.

Howdy from Campbell County folks.
Very nice outdoor wedding for my nephew last night. Parents, all my siblings, all three of my kids and both grandkids there so the rare moment of being with my entire family.
Heading back to my parents house to hang around with my brothers. Have a good day.

Nice. Enjoy. I will be headed up to Kentucky in late May for the chance to see my son and his family all together. Granddaughter will fly in from Colorado and grandson will be back from college for a week.
So we will spend Memorial Day together and head over to my wife's family cemetery to decorate graves.

You all have probably seen this before, but I think it is funny:
Good morning all,
Had another squash pancake with sharp cheddar cheese and coffee. Heading out and about for a bit to pick up some things and coming back to hang curtains.(The actual curtains should arrive by then.), Then unpack "stuff" and chuck "stuff".
Actually looking forward to it. Have a great day...
Edit: The table got me to thinking. My Darling and I bought that I think, the first year we were married. Used at least half of our savings to buy that from a customer who had a wood shop that sold wood furniture unfinished. (In Vine Grove, Ky.) We had them finish it. The table and six chairs set us back about $1300.00 as I remember. During this move My Darling was going to sell it and buy new but she couldn't. I re-finished the top probably six or so years ago but other than that it has gone untouched and held up well. (It is a fine piece of furniture.) Has two leaf's that go with it but we are only using one now. Yeah, I am thankful...

So this is considered normal in American culture? This thing was the cover for a bridal magazine. I think I have been on this earth too long. I am a Rank Stranger in my own nation.
I remember a time if you showed up looking like this, somebody would whip your ass.

That sure is worth an ass whipping Sir. Just vial and vulgar. No shame any longer, thanks Bill...(He started it anyway.) THAT used to hide in its own house and not DARE show itself in public... (Oh, they did that back when but they wouldn't DARE show themselves.... as it should be...)

Now, this is my kind of Floridian. If you haven't had a few teeth knocked out in life, you must live a very boring, guarded existence. Knock 'em out, John. Welcome to Florida, young man, you will fit in just fine around here.
In his interview, he said he was a rancher. Tough. Thank you for the photo, FOX NFL

Good night all,
Spent most of today at the markets, or one place or another. I did get the curtains up in our bedroom so sleep ought to be later in the morning though My Darling and I are planning to go to the early service... God Bless your sleep ...

Good morning from Nolin Lake near Anneta, KY. Currently 49°F and cloudy. We might see 57°F for today's high.
Wishing all Happy Sunday. Take care.

MORNING LEGIONNAIRES!
49° this morning with light winds. Mostly sunny with a high expected to be in the low 70's and moderate winds.
Going fishing today for a short while at my old stomping grounds of Rattler and Bald ponds at Ft. Sill. Have been out at lake Ellsworth here in Elgin three times already this year and lost 3 lures to underwater stickups and one with the only bite/hook I have had this year by the fish going around a stump and I could not get it in to the bank. 0-3 for a start. Hey, even the Reds aren't this bad. In fact, even though they are still under .500 they are on a 5-game winning streak. Last night's game was won in the 9th inning. Good stuff.
Cats have stumbled on the diamond of late. Hope they can salvage
a win today.
Here's to hoping you folks have a good and restful Sunday and that God Blesses you all.

Good Sunday morning everyone!
The turkey hunting is winding down. I've been able to hunt the mountain more this week and it brings back memories of 30 years ago when I hunted it hard. No luck with the turkeys although I've seen a couple of bears and heard plenty of whippoorwills.
Anyone know?
I hope everyone has a great day.

Currently 70° with heavy rain in the area and a tornado watch until 2:00 PM. Our high will reach 77°. South Florida was hit with tornados and conditions are right for them in this area today. So buckle down.
I trust all are well and enjoy this the day the Lord has made.

Skies from our backyard. We get some great colors this time of year.
That's what we call 'dry land fish', otherwise known as a morel. They're going for $80/lb here in Eastern Kentucky, as they're considered a delicacy by most, including myself.Good Sunday morning everyone!

Good morning D-League. It's a 54° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring occasional showers and a high of 60°. The next couple of days will be well normal, as highs will barely make it into the 50's.
Have a great Sunday.

At one base, the career guys (basically office cops) challenged us to a game. The first sgt who I didn't like was playing 2nd base. I wasn't trying to hurt him, but I decided to hit one at him as hard as I could. I hit a very hard line drive off his shin. He hobbled around a bit, but stayed in the game. Bet his leg was sore for a few days.
I'm glad someone knew. Yes, dry land fish here in Letcher Co are what they are called. One county south (Harlan) and farther south they start to call them Hickory Chickens.
We haven't found as many this year as most. One of my favorite things to eat.

Morrel mushroom? My dad called them "dry land fish".
Anyone know?
edit: @UK_fan_41102 and @storm1507 I did not see your responses. That stuff is great sauteed in butter and put on a steak.

This is a timely subject. My wife's hometown is having their annual Morel Mushroom Festival now. April 29-30.
Estill County, KY Mushroom Festival
Dryland fish, Molly moochers, hickory chickens. No matter what you call them, morel mushrooms are a seasonal favorite in many communities throughout Appalachia. And you can often spot morel hunters bragging about their best finds on Facebook or at backyard cookouts. At the Mountain Mushroom Festival in Irvine, Kentucky, several layers of competition are present within the mushroom community there.

Good morning all for a couple more minutes...
Made the early service today and a store trip but hanging around the house doing odds and ends this rainy day. God Bless you...

Man people now-a-days TALK TOO MUCH....
Just on and on and on saying things that could be stated in seconds take many minutes now. Just a bad habit in my book.... Happened in the service today as several were given the time to talk about experiences witnessing and missions they've been on....(Pre-recorded) Read part of Roman's 10 but the correlation is still suspect in my mind... (I know, this paragraph ran long...) 🥺

Nothing like a hot cup of coffee on a rainy day with coconut milk. (Unsweetened) only thing I can think of better is a hot bowl of chili with crackers.... (Ain't got none of that...) Darn it...
Ran into around 18-20 turkey while fishing this morning. There were some at both ponds I visited.Good Sunday morning everyone!

Ohhhhhh! Yeahhhhhh!
2 bites this morning with both being hooked but only one landed. Not big enough to take a picture, only about 3/4lb. Today's score, Warrior-Cat 1 - Largemouth Bass 1. At least not blanked like the first three days.
Had my hole (Whole) team together this past Thursday morning. I called the meeting to state collectively what I stated to each privately at one time or another (Different things to each as I thought they needed it.) I do not think several believed what I stated privately to them until I collectively stated it publicly in front of all, along with calling several out. (They just do not know me but they are learning, what you see is what you get...)
This team needed that due to the loss of their long time mentor and lead. I am just a bystander.... I perceived the need to do what I did...
It was about a 12 minute meeting....
Of course, they kicked me out of the office Friday so, there's that... A real confidence breaker...
(Oh, an edit: Not a clunker on my team but some need better confidence. Hence the call out...)

Nothin wrong with casting for a turkey... I caught a seagull that way once as he dive-bombed my cast....
A very large hawk (biggest I have ever seen) dive bombed Rattler Pond today for I am guessing fish near the surface. Apparently, it missed because it went away empty clawed.
The year that my dad died (1975) he sold $2,500 of ginseng. Dad, born 1902, was a product of the 19th century. He knew woodcraft as well as Daniel Boone. He could find dry land fish at distance and never missed ginseng out in the woods.
My dad was a good Baptist Deacon who would never even utter the word darn as it was too close to damn and he would never lie; however, if you ask him where he found his dry land fish or ginseng he would never tell you, just change the subject of the conversation.
Plus my dad believed in the healing products of ginseng. He kept a bunch of it to eat. It is not a pleasant experience to chew on dried ginseng but it worked for my dad. Ginseng would juice him up. The day he died he could run circles around me and he was 44 years older than me, he just had a bad vein in his brain and died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Edd was special and he knew where the dry land fish and ginseng was.
This is the Sunday before the week he died:
