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

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.

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.

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.

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

Maybe some with UK season ticks can get you a UK sections ticket.
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.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.
Those rookies are making some noise.
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...

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.

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. 👍
You don't have to convince me.
EdlC is starting to understand that MLB pitching and AAA pitching are two different things.

I think RL is pretty dang good, at least in Flo, Ky,
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?
Wow. What a small world. I lived next door to a family named Yeager in the Grove. Their oldest daughter who was several years older than me was John Freppon’s fiancé. I remember the day we got the news he had been killed in Vietnam like it was yesterday.

Damn. This makes me ill still 55 years later.
John Freppon's cousins are mine on their mother's side (Goetz). I knew John fairly well. He visited our joint cousins in the summers and we played together. Likeable guy. I attended his funeral. Was with my Freppon cousins just this past Sunday at our annual family picnic. I knew nothing of his fiance till now. She must have taken it really hard. I don't know what else to say. So sad/upset right now. But thanks.
Yeah. Her name was Nancy Yeager and she did take it hard. They were enough ahead of me in school I only knew John as an older guy I’d see at the neighbor’s house. I was in the 7th or 8th grade when John was killed.
Our family’s are still in touch though they moved away. My parents are still where we were at the time it happened.
I’ve looked up his name on the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Very tragic.

I've seen it too. Some 40 years ago. Saw another guy I knew also: John Becker of Cold Spring.
Good morning from ATX. Busy, so keeping it short. Happy Friday.
Morning Legionnaires!
More storms came through last night. Dogs were not happy, all but the monster. She remained unfazed. When my daughter was out taking pictures the only dog out with her still running around in the back yard was the monster. The others were cowering in the house.
Have a couple of things to do today. Daughter has a dental cleaning, then on to lunch, and then, finding an anniversary card for my wife. Yes, I procrastinated. Oh yeah and, find a present too. Wife told me about a week ago that silver was the color associated with 23rd anniversary and that a silver plate is the modern gift idea. Guess I know what I have to look for.
It's Friday folks so, TGIF and God Bless.
This is a video of the hail storm that went through Lawton/Ft. Sill yeaterday that my wife drove home in. Some of the hail were baseball sized.
Good morning folks. Sunny and cool in the east. A beautiful day. Settling in to work from home.
Glad it is Friday. May try to get in one of my Appalachian Trail walks tomorrow. Or if I'm feeling the other way I might go into one of the nicer neighborhoods around DC - Georgetown, Capitol Hill where I lived for a decade when I was single, or Old Town Alexandria, where I lived when I first came to the area in the late 70s and where people like George Washington and the Lees had their roots. Lots of nice walking options a short drive away.
Hope it is a good weekend for all of you.

Yep. I lived in Houston, but we could only get the steaks to rare. Not well done!
It is 76.3°F on our way to 86°, no chance of rain.
Those hail storms are something @warrior-cat . Will your wife's car be totaled?

Good afternoon all,
I hope you are well.
Been working with our water here. Seems we have a leak of some sort. Had the water company out, the builders... won't go into details but have a fight ahead. No issues in the house unless it is under it but in talking with the builder GM, who I trust. I think the issue is with the meter. Yeah a brand new meter.
This is also dealing with the municipality and the water company here. I lived about seven miles from here and my water and sewer was at or about $57.00 quarterly. Now I am being told my new service is about $95.00 a month due to our abundant water usage. Yeah, I will win but it will be a fight but that's okay. I may make it better for everyone in this joint as I will not take the difference as the cost of moving.
So you can maybe understand a little (If you care), Fairfax County Virginia where I moved from and still own that home is in the top three most expensive counties to live in the United States from reviews I have read. Not buying the American Water service in Prince William County telling me it is very proper to be paying around six times more for service. We shall see....
Not one to let the trivial ruin the day. My Darling and I are planning a trip to the Commissary.. Have a great afternoon...
