Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and cloudy. Heat advisory in effect. Today's high expected around 98°F. Still waiting on triple-digit temps. Perhaps tomorrow. No rush.

More chemo today. Bah.

Wishing y'all a healthy Tuesday.

ATX, praying for you, I hope it went ok for you today!!!

 

[AustinTXCat]

ATX, praying for you, I hope it went ok for you today!!!

Yes! Thanks so very much.

Underwent immunotherapy today. Returning to Dr. tomorrow for consultation.

 

[cordmaker]

I got to be home 10 fillets, this is the way I fry my trout. I get hit battered up, usually fry about 8 pieces since I am the only one to eat it. I fry the first 4, usually eat the first piece to make sure it's ok, it's good so I eat another piece. By now I have put the second 4 pieces in, so I eat two more pieces. By the time that batch is done, all I have left is 4 pieces for supper and no leftovers, that sucks!!!!

Hello all,

Been a day been a day. Got to the house, ate supper, headed to our new couples bible study group. Got home about 20 minutes ago. Still have things to do but am going to cut things short this evening...

Oh, did any of you know Jim Lucas (He was an insurance man in Shepherdsville (Lucas Insurance.) and had several rentals.) (He's gone now but just came to mind I'd ask.)

It is a small world BBUK. Jim Lucas married one of Sherry's best high school friends.

Is this the Jim Lucas you are talking about:

They lived up the street from us in Louisville for a few years before I moved to Florida.

I don't think so Sir. I knew him when he lost most of his hair on top if that was him but the Jim I knew wore a mustache. His wife was Anita and had children Tommy (Tommy passed away as well.), and Lori. His wife's last name before married was Daniels.

Sir,

Good morning and Happy Hump Day from ATX. Currently 79°F and cloudy. Humid. Another 97°F high on the way.

@cordmaker : good catch. Happy for y'all.

Wishing all a fine Wednesday.

Happy 248 to US Army.

Morning Legionnaires!

67° this morning with a high in the mid 80's. Possible thunderstorms and more hail today.

It's Flag Day and as Austin has posted the Army's 248th birthday. Guess that will give me a reason to get a cake while I am out. Going to go to KIA dealership and order the door handle to get repaired. Do a few other things while in town. But first, gotta walk the monster while it is cool.

You folks get over the hump and start the slide towards the weekend and God Bless.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Heading inside, much to do..... Love this day the Lord has made.... Take care...

That is him. Anita graduated high school, Caverna, with Sherry in 1966.

And this is me and her at one of the classes get to gathers in October 2021:

Jim's father was the recipe keeper for Heaven Hill.

Good morning folks.

Busy days. Already pulling into DC on the subway to get a jump on work.

Reds stay hot. It can’t last but making June fun.

My son, who went to Boston last weekend to meet up with a girl from there he met in Lexington is headed for NYC to meet up with another girl he met at UK. Last summer he spent two weeks with a woman in LA he met in Lexington. Either UK is attracting a lot of young women from far flung cities, or my son met all of the few who do end up there. He’s tall dark and handsome and an old school male in a world of gay pride and “gender confusion” so I guess he’s filling a niche. He works hard and got his degree so I’m fine with him enjoying this part of his life.

Hope all of you are enjoying today.

Yes Sir,

That for sure is her. I have been to their home many times. Knew their children well. I even had a key to Jim's office for years. We kind of traded services when I had my bug business. i enjoyed my time knowing him. That sure didn't look like Jim though. Tommy worked for me a little off and on when he was younger. Jim's daughter Lori married a preacher. It wasn't long after that I sold my business but I'd make trips to see Jim.

Yeap. Jim, Anita, Bert and Sherry were always together until I was moved out of town in 1976 and then we would only see each other on class get togethers et.al.

Jim was born and raised Catholic and he ended up being a Baptist. It usually goes the other way. He often took us to Holy Cross near his fathers house, it was the first Catholic church west of the mountains.

Deceased DFIL was from Marion County on other side of the county from that church & Loretto: Gravel Switch.

I KNEW there was something about that guy...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 81°F and cloudy. Humid with a south wind. Today's high expected around 100°F.

I got nothing else. Y'all behave. Enjoy today.

Stay cool Austin. Texas is getting fried this week.

It is 62.4°F and we are getting hot, just not Texas hot, 87° with a 10% chance of rain. I hope we get all 10 of the percentages.

Nothing is scheduled to happen here today. The biggest drama will be what we fix to eat.

You all ahve a good Thursday.

ATX, football WIldcats coming to a stadium near you NEXT fall. MY ERROR.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Busy week. We hear from a lot of people at my job, and I have an assistant who funnels letters to me that she thinks might be people we want to reach out to.

I got a letter this morning from a guy who, roughly 70 years ago, said goodbye to two brothers -- both officers -- headed to Korea. Within a short time both were killed - within 11 days of each other. One won the Medal of Honor -- which I confirmed on a MOH website. The other the Silver Star.

But this is what he was writing about: Just before the MOH winning brother shipped out, he left all his possessions in a trunk with an Army buddy. The trunk vanished for 70 years -- until recently. A woman half way across the country called to say she'd bought the trunk at a yard sale and decided to try to find the person whose name was stenciled on the side. Because the guy was a high-profile MOH winner, she was able to. So the family got the trunk back seven decades later.

I think we'll reach out to all the people and do a story on Veteran's Day -- this year being 70 eyars since fighting ended in Korea. But I figured D-League would appreciate a crazy story today.

Otherwise, just getting started. Hope you all are well.

ATX, football WIldcats coming to a stadium near you this fall.

Yep, saw on local news last night. I'll attend if still alive.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

I just read a wire story that after sweeping the lowly Royals, the Reds are now proclaiming themselves, "America's Team."

That's bold talk for a bunch still under .500. Why does it feel like Custer proclaiming himself "America's General" just before heading out to the Little Big Horn?

That said, they are fun to watch this year. And I'd rather have them over confident than expecting to lose every night like some recent Reds teams.

Doing lobster tomorrow at the only place around here. Red Lobster. My wife and I do it every year on our anniversary. Daughter is glad too because she loves lobster.

Sir,

I lived in San Antonio seven years, I always tell people, in many places in the summer you can fry an egg on the road. In Texas they fry steaks.... Just a different kind and level of hot...

 

[warrior-cat]

Storms going through with more tonight. Tornado warnings so we are on the ready this time. I put the Sportage (damaged in the last storm) in the shop and parked the truck behind it with just the back of the bed sticking out. My wife was on her way home from work driving in the storm because they would not let them off early even though they knew it was coming. She was caught in it and baseball size hail hit her 2017 Nissan Rogue. Windshield is busted in three places on the passenger side. That is 2 windshields that we will have to get replaced because my F150 got cracked on the last surprise hail storm. The Rogue now looks like a blue golf ball with all of the dents. A coworker of hers said that her SUV was totaled from the storm the other day and she was given $12k for it and they kept it.

With baseball size hail I could get some batting practice in. Would definitely need a helmet though.

 

[warrior-cat]

Daughter took these pictures just a short while ago. The first one is just over my neighbor's and my house to the northwest. The other two are from a video screen shot and are just beyond a neighbors shop.

Dang, if you weren't an Oklahoman (Did I spell that correctly?), I'd have to call you Dorothy.... Just serious looking weather..... Sure you don't have a dog named Toto?

Grovers & Highland Heightsers need to jointly celebrate whatever we can wrt the Reds. 👍

Sorry. That's amazing damage. Be safe.

I’m all in for that. When I was a kid you all called us River Rats and we called you Cakes —but I ended up with quite a few friends from Ft. Thomas -Highland Heights.

Please, do not conflate HH people with Cakes. We couldn't stand them either. We be in Camel Land. I took care of some Cake yards in HS. I didn't call y'all River Rats. I just thought you smelled bad.

He be 6 six years older than you, I think, but did you know John Freppon who was killed in Vietnam?
