Good morning from ATX. It has been a long night.

Wife in the hospital. Ambulance transported her to emergency room because she was in so much pain. Doctors plan on performing emergency appendectomy at 9 am CST. She should be okay afterwards. Perhaps released tomorrow.

Wishing all an awesome Sunday.

Prayers sent to ask the lord to guide the surgeons hands.

Best of luck to her.

It is 84°F on our way to 92°. We are slated to have a very hot week up to 100° toward the end of the week. Our Friday and Saturday were ideal.

You all ahve a good Sunday.

Any update brother ATXC?
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 84°F and clear. Today's high expected around 105°F. Excessive heat warning remains in effect. No relief for at least next 7 days.

Talked to wife early yesterday evening. She will probably come home tomorrow if stable. Everybody (me and pup) will be happy to see her.

I'm off again today. Setting up new 34" monitor later this morning.

Wishing all a great start to your week.

Morning Legionnaires!

80° this morning with light winds and a high of 105° expected.

Hurry up football, the Reds are fading.

Light day ahead with only normal monster walk, exercise, and a little house cleaning this morning. Couch potato afternoon with a martial arts class to teach tonight.

Hope it is not a manic Monday, but if it is, here is a little eye candy to start you off.




God Bless.
 
Good morning all,

Got to work early. Beat the alarm clock. Much to do, we shall see.

Bought some fishing supplies for the trip to Myrtle Beach at the end of September. Going to supply my guests with all their lures and riggings. Told them to just bring their poles.

Ribbon/ Belt fish and Spanish Mackerel....we shall see... Looking forward to it.


Hope you have a day like you caught a cooler full.😁

Good morning D-League.

Austin, glad your wife got help in time. A burst appendix can be scary.

I think I picked up some kind of infection during my brief trip ti Kentucky. Spiking fever. A little light headed. Headache. Etc. My wife the RN thinks I can go to the Urgent Care clinic and get some antibodies to knock it out. I hope so. Need to get through a few things at work, then I'm going to run up there.

Very nice visit to Kentucky. Too short. I kn ew getting back to work would be a drag, and so it is.

Have a good day folks.

Hope you feel better soon and without needing to see the urgent care.

Got busy with family situations, estates, funerals, and funeral prep and forgot several of you were visiting the area. Was hoping to drop off some little tokens to you on your visits if possible.

Sorry to miss yall. Hope you really enjoyed your visits and got to spend meaningful time with those you love.

May God bless the D-League!

Sigh...

Had a brief but intense encounter with a young Italian woman when I was in college. Reminded me of the Bangles lead singer. Anyway that was so long ago...

Thanks Girt. Turns out I did go to urgent care, and I do have a urinary tract infection (I thought only women got them.) Apparently it's related to my old man's swollen prostate. Anyway, a week of antibiotics and all should be well.

Sorry to hear that. A pleasant surprise for me in college was that they run in my family on the male side as well. Had to drink 100% unsweetened cranberry juice in filtered water and take saw palmetto with thistle or nettle (in college and occasionally for about 7 years after) to keep both the UTI and prostate issues under control. I was misdiagnosed several times back then til I went to a naturopathic practitioners office.

Always sprang up if I had to drive a long time and/or distance on poor seating, though I never associated the two til later. Delivered pizzas in college and drove a 2 seater truck with a crappy bench seat for a long time after I graduated.

Hope that visit takes care of it, MdWildcat! I know you're pain
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 82°F and clear. Red Flag (fire weather) warning in effect. Slight chance for rain. Today's high may reach 101°F.

Wife staying in hospital until at least tomorrow, possibly longer. Apparently aftereffects from perforated appendix more serious than originally thought.

Wishing all a great day.

Sorry to hear ATXC... God's comfort to your wife and you.
 
Good morning D-League. Overslept today. I believe that was from the antibiotic fighting my infection. I woke upon a pool of sweat from which I could have wrung oily my sheets. I want to think that means I’m getting better.

Sorry about your wife Austin. May she improve rapidly.

Catch you all later.

Hoping all goes well.
 
Finally got a picture of the students that competed this past Saturday. The two smaller ones in Ghis up front are brother and sister who were adopted by the older lady in the back on the far left as you look at the picture. They were abused and taken away from their father a couple of years ago and now live with Paula (the lady mentioned) and her daughter standing next to her and her two teenagers (the taller girl and boy in the back next to the lady next to me). It's a good thing she (Paula) has her daughter and her kids helping out because those two little ones are a handful.

Good morning folks.

Loving the talk of navy beans and cornbread. My mammaw (dad’s mom) who lived way down in the holler in Bracken County always had beans going in a big pot, maybe some green beans cooked in bacon fat and made the best salty, crisp at the edges cornbread I’ve had to this day.

Long long hike yesterday. I’d registered nearly 30,000 step by end of day. Taking it easier today.

Go Reds. Another day with a chance to take over first place.
Grandparents were also from a holler in Bracken County. Did the green beans have sugar in them? She put creamed corn in her cornbread. Tasted like cake. Loved it!
 
Speaking of the Quiet Man I thought I would report in. Doing OK for an old guy approaching 80. I don't post much anywhere anymore. I do read many of the posts here. I don't see any posts by my fellow octogenerians, Don and Sawnee. Anyone know how they are doing? If anyone knows you can email me at starchief1943@gmail,com.
Good to see you StarChief
 
Random tidbits:
- Tree trimmer/remover came by to estimate today - $3500 Yikes!! - and told me of his recent fishing trip off Pine Island in Gulf. Caught 51"/100# grouper. Guide said that just doesn't happen & said he should make a trophy of it. So he is. I'm not a fisherman/lady/trans, but I was impressed. Anyone know anything about something like this?
- Friend's son is starting at UC this year & got tripled up in dorm at last minute. UC surpassed 50K enrollment for first time. I know there are way bigger, but it surprised me living around here most all my life. UK is 31K.
