I can't go over there. I would not last a day.
Good morning folks.
Kentucky Derby Day. The only one I attended was 50 years ago with Secretariat. Somewhere I have an un-cashed two dollar win ticket. Paid like $2.19. Maybe a bit more.
I need to get caught up on who is even in the field this year. Been traveling so much it snuck up on me.
Speaking of sneaking up, I was sure tomorrow was Mother's Day so I sent my mother a giant plant and flowers arrangement for her front porch, which will arrive today. I guess I'll have to think of something else for Mother's Day.
Here's the only Rolling Stone song to mention the Kentucky Derby, in the Townes Van Zandt version I like better.

A covid strain no doubt...
Well, I'm back from fishing. Started getting hot out there already. The score?
Warrior-cat 3-Largemouth bass 4. I hooked 7 but could only land 3. The others either spit the hook out or wrapped themselves around a structure and got me stuck where I could not get them in. Had around 10-12 strikes in all this morning. Nothing big enough to write home about though. The biggest was about 3lbs. None-the-less, an enjoyable outing. A couple of other anglers (soldiers new to Sill as I found out) also pulled in a couple. I gave them some pointers on some other ponds to visit as they intend on fishing a lot while they are stationed here.
The fishing should start to pick up now. stay tuned.
@blubo Bad boy, bad boy, whatchugonnado, whatchugonnado when you can't post too. They released me from a 3 week or so ban about a month ago for calling shin a perv. Truth hurts I guess.

All I ever did was post a picture of the Presidential Library when O was leaving the presidency...
I might try that once just for the hell of it. But in order for the action figure to look somewhat like me I would have to find one more masculine.
Plenty of coffee this morning (With half and half.), good bacon, eggs, biscuits, gravy, and grits. (Went to a Men's meeting. (About twenty five or so men there.) My first time attending.) Had my Grandson's first soccer game at 10. Watched my grandson and grand daughter while My Darling and the two daughters went to eat. (I ran them around the house six or seven times (The grand children) and fed them dinner. (Mac and cheese)
Getting ready in about an hour to go mow my daughters lawn. All that is left to do, and spray for ants as well... No leisure days on my horizon. No concern at all by anyone... I am thankful...

That's spay the aunts and neuter the uncles. Come on man, drink more coffee.
Lawn and shrubbery came out nicely. Not a Gardener but the last two days I was....
Gave thousands of ants a bad day as well, THAT, I can handle.....
Actually not hurting today, I am thankful...

Is the Ortho home defense a good insect spray? For ants? Bought some at Costco yesterday.
Sir,
(The ortho may have already worked for you, I've used it myself. (The gallon of ortho probably set you back 20 or 25 bucks (Haven't bought in a while like that but guessing price
Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F, cloudy and muggy. Chance for rain later this morning. Today's high expected around 83°F.
Wishing all a fine Sunday.
Edit: Sadly, 8 killed late yesterday during a mass-shooting in DFW area. So sorry.

Good morning folks.
Enjoyed the Derby. Always a day to feel good about being a Kentuckian. The race came off in a moderate-to-fast time. But the highly touted horses all seemed to struggle for one reason or another. We're not going to have some memorable horse emerge this year, I don't believe. The winner's chief owner hinted he may skip the Preakness. That might make sense if you realize you caught lightning in a bottle and that Mage might get buried in the pack in Baltimore.
I don't follow horse racing enough to know what is causing so many animals to get injured and have to be destroyed but I hope someone figures it out. The Derby has been a point of pride for our state and the narrative can't become that its too deadly for horses to continue.
Out for a walk. Hope you all have a good day.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Costco had it on sale (7 dollars off a 2 pack in gallon containers). With the money off, it was about 20 bucks for the 2 pack (if memory serves).Sir,
(The ortho may have already worked for you, I've used it myself. (The gallon of ortho probably set you back 20 or 25 bucks (Haven't bought in a while like that but guessing pricegougingor increases.) Most work if they are labeled to kill the targeted insect. Ortho has a little too much smell for me and the efficacy is not as great as I'd like it. If you have your own sprayer, I use Tempo SC Ultra, I used to buy my product at Oldham chemical in Louisville but also bought online. Now I use; Domyown.com (Good prices and good shipping.) Haven't bought this year but bought a bunch of items last year. (Just checked the site, a bottle runs $51.56 and free shipping.) (I spray this stuff at most, twice a year. Lasts good if you take time and apply it thoroughly.) The kicker is, that is enough to make up to 30 gallons of spray. (That's how bug guys make money, or used to, they buy it concentrated and mix it themselves.) I know, more info than you may have expected, or wanted.
Good morning all,
Heading to services in a bit. What's on tap today afterwards only the Lord knows... I do plan to chuck some stuff today for sure. Am thinking about making another pan of biscuits, the others go ate and I hoped to have some to eat at work.
My Darling and I are thinking about a king-sized bed. Will mull that over a little too. Who knows... Never owned one of those...
Have a blessed Lord's day....

Good Sunday morning here in Smiths Grove. It is partly cloudy and 76°F outside. I had to turn on the air conditioning yesterday. Maybe I won't have to switch back for heat again till fall.
I enjoyed the Derby. It is a big party. My son could to a ticket to the events on Friday except in the infield. So it is still a big deal.

Well the weather changed. We got a storm and got .66 inches of rain. It is now thundering again.
Been a different day for sure... All enjoy your evenings....
Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may reach 88°F.
Plan on getting in a hike this morning before starting work.
Wishing all a fine start to your week,

Good morning folks from cloudy Smiths Grove. It is 62.6°F on our way to a pretty warm 82°F and a 100% chance of rain. We have received 1.04" since about 11am yesterday.
The yard desperately needs mowing but with the rain it may just become a jungle. Kentucky in spring is sure a green place and grass can grow rapidly.
You all have have a good start to the week.

Morning Legionnaires!
62° this morning with light winds. High to be around 90° with mostly sunny skies.
Normal Monday morning plans. Workout and walk the monster shortly, then on to Lawton to train my student and then shop the honeydo list.
We have another mole making holes in our front yard. It happens every year in the spring. It always seems to be just one. Other homes in our area have multiple moles. Up until last year, our electricity would go out because a mole would chew the buried line and the local electric company would come out and repair it. In 2021 they decided after 3 years of repairing it they would unbury the line and incase it in PVC piping. Last year was the first year in the last 4 that the power did not got out.
Hey, you folks stay safe out there today and God Bless.
Good morning folks.
Another work Monday. By my count, subtracting Memorial Day, Labor Day, a few other annual Monday holidays and setting aside a few weeks for vacation, I have about 110 work Mondays until I hit 70 and retire. Unless I do it sooner, which feels more appealing every Monday.
An incredibly beautiful day in the east. Sunny, mild, light breeze. Had a great walk this morning and settling into the work day.
I hope it is a good day for all of you.

Come on Md, pull the trigger, the water is fine. So is the wine.
Very tempting Warrior.
I'm cautious, and feel like I may need to keep a decent income stream coming in until my kids are totally independent.
My two daughters are there -- a college teacher married to a guy with a good job and a private school teacher off to a good start. My son just graduated from UK last week and its not like the world was back in the 1970s, when there was a lot of opportunity. He's a hard worker and is already holding down a moving company job. But the future is still a bit murky for him.
Pictured below are the 6 mounds the mole dug up over the weekend. I put some poison in them yesterday and there has been no movement since. Now imagine this, but all over the front yard. There a quite a few homes in my neighborhood with it like that. Also pictured below is the monster just waiting for the chance.

Get some grub spray and treat your yard. That is what they are after....moles will infiltrate and destroy.....
So essentially, my yard's a Grub Hub.
Pretty much....😅

That is close to groundhog or gopher size versus moles..the mounds not the Monster

Good morning folks.
My son got home from college last night —officially a graduate. I got all three through the process without any of them accruing one dollar of debt. Of course I guess that’s less of a big deal since Sleepy Joe is making taxpayers pick up college loan debt. In fact, I guess it really just makes me a sucker for saving —then spending —hundreds of thousands of dollars through the years to help my kids. But I feel good about it anyway.
Cloudy and cool in the east. Off the work. Hope it’s a good day for all.

Cool to hear about the air fryer. My Darling uses ours a lot. Mackerel is cooked up amazingly.....
No, it shows you have integrity and honor by doing it the way it should be done. Respect.
Good morning all,
Made good time today. Heading inside much to do with the time today.
Great to hear about the graduation!
My youngest is starting nurse practitioner school soon.
I think I am now another grandfather (6) but hasn't been confirmed.
Awaiting the news anxiously....
Have a great day and go forward with a merry heart. It doeth good like a medicine...God Bless you all!!!
