Sherry and I are in our 10th house and three were new. I know what you are going through. Often it is little things but there are enough that it becomes a good project. Our last house in Jacksonville had a leaky fireplace. Sherry kept plants in it to pick up some of the water. It took six months to get that corrected.

Thanks Sir,
One issue we are having now is a water leak that I hope is NOT under our concrete-floored house. The water comapny tells us we have a leak, the builder tells us we do not but in a modernly energy and water efficient home we are using over double the water we used in our regular last home built in 2003 or 2005. I am actually documenting usage daily as we were away for specific days the last two months and we were still using somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 gallons of water a day. I actually hope with all hope it is a meter error or malfunction but I am going to bring both the water company and the builder (They are a good sized company so there is that.) together hoping I do not have to do some legal stuff but I am prepared.. many other things but in comparison they are minor but require being fixed.
My son is loving life as a farm hand on my wife's cousin's spread in upstate New York. Guy has lots of cattle and other livestock, and best of all his own shooting range they've been hitting every evening. As always, he's rocking the Wildcat gear...
Hello all,
Trying to take this Friday evening slower. My Darling made her version of Salmon for supper. (This meal is to savor and think about beforehand.) A slight soy sauce with peppers, onions, and garlic. Just slight hints of seasonings so not to take away the taste of "da fish".

Reds were up 5-3 with bases loaded 1 out and a new pitcher on the mound for Arizona throwing 100 plus mph on every pitch. TJ Friedel strikes out making it 2 outs. Mclain was up with the count 0-2 and you would figure the pitcher would keep it off of the plate to see if he would chase on the next two pitches. Nope, right over the plate and Mclain crushed it for his first grand slam. Reds 9-3 in the 6th right now.
Morning Legionnaires!
68° this morning with light winds. The high for today in the mid 90's.
Going to head out fishing for a few hours this morning before the sun gets too far overhead.
Reds hung on to win last night 9-6 as Arizona made a run in the 7th inning. Three in a row now, hopefully back on track with the winning ways.
Not much else going so, enjoy your day folks and God Bless.
Good morning folks. Out for a long Saturday walk while it is relatively cool.
Glad to see the Reds string a few wins. Such a fun young team. I’d love to see them rewarded. The fans in Cincy deserve it after years of loyalty despite mediocrity. But as Will Munny told us, deserve has nothing to do with it.
Hope you all have a great Saturday.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and clear. Another triple-digit day coming. I'll be very happy when this summer is over.
Good meetup last night. Really enjoyed myself. Walked 1.5 miles total in extreme heat to/from various bus stops to Buffalo Wild Wings. Wore out. Got a ride home. Slept all night in chair.
Plan on going for a walk in a few. Looking at making smoothies later with new Kitchen Aid blender.
Wishing all a great day.

Good morning folks. It is sunny and 76.1°F on our way to a, not too bad, 81° high, 20% chance of rain. We ended up the last rain even in getting .38".
Saturday and I don't have a thing planned. That sounds good.

Beautiful in NKy today. Mostly sun, high of 80, low humidity. When I walked earlier, the breeze was actually cooling. Not at all normal for late July. More like late May.
Completely blanked at the ponds today. No bites, no bumps, no jumps. Did not see one bass leap out of the water this morning.
Dang, that's Bass-ackwards...
New blender kicks major ass on smoothies.
Great. But that lower glass' contents' texture makes me thinks of things other than smoothies.New blender kicks major ass on smoothies.
Lower intestines?
Before or after?
Don't let brother ATXC fool you, that is strawberry ice-cream. (Maybe a splash of milk or some sort of juice/ syrup....)
He just got it too thick... 😁 (Now da brudder gotta eat it with a spoon. Just eat out of the box next time and don't dirty any dishes...)
Good morning from ATX. Currently 83°F and clear. Today's high expected around 101°F. Received roughly 15 minutes rain last night. No more forecast for another week or two.... or three or more.
Love new food processor. It's heavy duty and heavy in weight.
Taking off walking in a bit. Wishing all a fine Sunday.

Good morning D-League.
Sunny and mild in the east.
Taking it easy this morning after a long hike yesterday.
Reds go back-to-back-to-back to win yesterday.
Today, Cincy’s old 3b man, Scott Rolen, goes into the Hall of Fame. I think he played for other teams or team as well, but still glad to see a guy go in I watched from the seats in GABP.
Hope you all have a good day.

Going to the late service shortly. Had pancakes and coffee this morning. I am thankful. Have a blessed Lord's day....

Morning folks. It is a sunny 76.2°F and we are supposed to get to 85° for a high. Yesterday it was supposed to get to 81°F but made it to 85. So I suggest that we will top out at about 88°.
I was a very lazy boy yesterday. I may be very lazy again today.

Let the games begin! Coach potato games that is. #Me too! Will be watching the Reds game shortly.
Bought my two grand children here a couple of the classic light brite's. Just picked them up at Walmart after we left church. My oldest took both to Costco to walk around.
Yeah, I am sitting at my computer. Plans are sparse this afternoon. Do plan to vacuum out the wife's trunk though as I forgot yesterday when I cleaned and vacuumed the inside. Also detailed the tires and rims on both cars. (The rims needed it.) They actually look okay now.
Am getting into finding the right doctor for My Darling. Her back is no better. (Does better at times but she deserves a better quality of life.) My oldest daughter gave me a couple surgeons who perform these type surgeries. They are supposed to be the top in their craft. May the Lord guide me to pick the right one.....
Sott's HOF plaque features a Cardinals cap. I had wondered as I think he was upset with the Cards over the way his injury was treated when he left. BTW Pitino recruited him for UK in hoops.
I thought I might hear from you on Rolen, Bernie. Yes, the bulk of his achievements were in St Louis so that’s fitting that he’d wear a Cards cap.
I was a-bit surprised he made the Hall. No single statistic really jumped out. He had fewer hits than Ken Boyer, a lower life time batting average and a few more home runs, for example. And Boyer at his peak was a League MVP, which Rolen never was. And Boyer never made it. But Rolen always seemed like a good guy so I’m happy for him.

"And this one belongs to the Reds"
The first MLB game I ever saw, Boyer missed a ground ball a small kid like me could have caught. Probably unfair of me, but I never got over it. Part of the time, the Cards had the MV3 as the announcers used to say. Edmonds, Puhols and Rolen. That cost him some votes. His overall numbers were hurt by the injury. He was never the same afterwards. The saber metric number that says you are a likely HOFer is 100 and his score is 99, so he is not top of the class. His last 5 or 6 years would have likely helped his overall numbers had he been healthy.
In all of sports, baseball and third base in particular was my first love.
Bernie, I’m still pissed that my boyhood favorite Vada Pinson never got any serious consideration for the Hall of Fame. Despite tailing off late in his career he had nearly 2,800 hits, around 260 HR, stole 300-plus bases and was a gold glove center fielder on an era when the NL had Mays, Aaron, Clemente, Robinson, etc. He’s hurt in sabermetrics by the fact he didn’t walk much. Hell, I never went to Crosley to see him walk, but I did see him patrol centerfield like an artist of the game.
Vada never came close to making the HOF, and I’m sure someone can make the case that he didn’t deserve it. But that won’t convince me.
His score is 95, so he is close. I was a Card fan, but I also checked the Reds boxscores to see what Vada did. I was at one game where Jim Brosnan (also an author) was warming up. There weren't many people at the game, so his fastball sounded like a cannon popping in the catchers glove. Ever read anything by him?
Oh yeah. The Long Season is a minor baseball classic —sort of paving the way for Bouton’s Ball Four though no where near as controversial. And of course I remember him from my very early years as a Reds fan.
Pennant Race was about the Reds Winning in 61. When traded to the White Sox, they told him no more books, so he retired.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear. Expecting 103°F for our high. No heat relief in sight.
Co-worker back today. Busy as heck while she was out.
Wife watches Shark Week every night. Crazy stuff.
Monday, Monday.... Wishing all a great start to your week.

Good morning all,
Heading inside when I had planned to telework. Let's see how smart leadership is....
This day as all days, are in God's hands. No concerns... God bless you all....

Sunny and 70.5°F and we are supposed to get to 89° with 30% chance of rain. Good late July day.
I have company from Winston Salem, NC today. My good friend Basil. He is a professor of math. He was born in Amman Jordan and moved out as Christians were treaded poorly and advancement in the military and police was basically banned unless you were Muslim. He still has some family there and he goes over every few years. He got his Ph.D. from UNC. We must forgive him for bad choices in schools!
You all enjoy your Monday.

My neighbor took this picture yesterday:
The Cards are second in all of baseball in hard hit rate (the Reds are last in the NL central), yet the Cards can't win for losing. It goes to show you, defense, fundamentals and pitching are king. The Cards are poor to bad in all 3 things. The D has made the pitching even worse than it is. It's not just errors, it's also plays recorded as hits that a good fielder would have made. This is the worst Cards baseball I have ever seen in those 3 areas.
