Good morning from ATX. Currently 61°F and cloudy. Today's high may reach 74°F. Rain on the way. We need it.

Not much to say. Just busy.

Wishing all a great day.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Arrived early today. Heading inside....

May God anoint your day....

Good morning folks.

Rough night for me. My wife had a reaction to a colonoscopy last night -severe pain, spiking fever. I had to rush her to the hospital in the early evening.

There the misery really began. The ER was swamped with non-English speaking, likely illegals. Every interaction with the hospital staff was through an interpreter. And the staffing was minimal, no doubt because I’d say we were the only people there with any means or intention of paying.

My wife is still there this morning. They’ve ruled out really serious stuff like a torn colon. But she’s on serious IV antibiotics. I’m trying to get into work for stuff that can’t be easily put off —on two hours sleep.

Hope you all are doing better than we are.

Wife and I hiked to Bad Branch Falls yesterday. Nice day. A memory on FB came up this morning....I took a solo 8 mile hike last year on this day. It was a nice day too. Here's a pic from last year taken from the top of Pine Mtn above our home. If you see the wide spot on the gravel road below. Follow that ridge out below it and we are on the left side of that ridge facing the green pine trees on the other side. Hwy 119 is the other road that crosses the mountain near Whitesburg.

I hope everyone has a great day.

We are paying a really high price for dumb Joe Biden's open border. I see every thing that he does as being ill advised.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Thanks for the well wishes folks. My wife is out of the hospital and resting at home. She’ll be fine after a rough night. I really appreciate the concern.

Sir,

Joe is not doing anything. Most of the time he doesn't know he is in the world. The Communists are in control of him... Do not doubt that.

Good morning and Happy Friday from ATX. Currently 62°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 73°F. Turning colder tomorrow.

Zags visit Rupp tomorrow. Looking forward to a good game.

Wishing all an awesome day.

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone.

I'm going to try to watch the game tomorrow against the Zags. That loss to FL really took it out of me. I still can't believe a "good" college team could blow a lead like that at the end of regulation. Oh well, I hope I can get over it tomorrow.

Here's a pic of Bad Branch Falls. Great hike Wednesday.

I hope everyone has a great day.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Hope all is well.

Sorry to get political in the wrong thread.

But I laughed out loud this morning when I read that special counsel's report letting our cognitively impaired president off the hook for stashing top secret documents in his garage next to his 1957 National Geographics. The prosecutor described Demento Joe as a "Well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory."

Guys, those of us who have achieved a certain age now have an excuse for anything!

Didn't take out the garbage? Skipped helping with the laundry? Didn't pick up your mother-in-law at the airport? Passed on filing income taxes?

"Hey, I'm a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory."

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hope you folks have a great day, and if you feel like skipping something unpleasant, just remember the magic words.

Good morning all,

Been out and about on this, my regular day off..(Off Day)...

So much to do, so much to tell... I will shut up now.

Have a blessed day!

Morning Storm, knowing your love for nature, I think you will appreciate this. I incorporate my love for nature in some of my stained glass art. I take the branches that beavers have gnawed on and make different pieces of glass wind chimes and moon phases out of them. They are pretty cool. I'll see if Bert will share a couple pictures for me.

 

[BBUK]

Man, I had an interview with the infernal revenue service...

That's great! Coincidently, that "walking stick" I have in the pic above is close to 20 years old. It's actually a beaver chewed stick I picked up at Lake Cumberland. I didn't do anything else to it and it has been great. It would probably last my lifetime except I cracked it on a copperhead early one morning that was on the back patio early AM. I was a little too excited.

I got to watch a beaver cut down a small pine and drag it down to the lake one night. It was amazing how fast it completed his job on the little tree.

 

[berniecarbo]

Man, I had an interview with the infernal revenue service...

Many years ago, the KY IRS visited my shop. Cost me about a thousand dollars because I failed to collect sales tax from a motel. I sell to a middle man now so I don't have to worry about it. Guess that is not to bad.

I once had a guy working for me whose job was cutting out lamp shades with a band saw. I think he got scared of it because he told me he was seeing double. Well after that I couldn't let him run the saw because if he got hurt, osha and insurance would have had my a$$ in a sling. I gave him another job and he got mad and said it was women's work and quit. He and his mom called OSHA on me. That cost me five thousand or so. One of the things they got me for was no blood borne pathogen kit. I had a root canal the day I was fined and the dentist didn't even know what a blood borne pathogen kit was.

Later my daughter got a degree in the OSHA field and became an expert in the field.

 

[berniecarbo]

My last story reminded me of something else. I hired a guy part time to do the saw after the guy quit. He was a friend of mine and a city policeman. We had a different former employee come in one day all bent out of shape and looking for trouble. My friend/employee the cop was wearing his gun. He walked over to the guy and told him he better leave. Problem solved.

Sorry, I was working on paper stuff.

Nice work cordmaker.

Just thought of another story. Dealing with people is often a headache. We worked mostly women. There were two women who both liked the same guy. One day, one of the women was sitting in a chair running a binding machine (sort of like a sewing machine). Out of nowhere, the other woman ran across the room and dove at her like a football player making a tackle, knocking her to the floor. We got them separated and the tackler left never to be seen again, by us at least.

 

[berniecarbo]

One more story and I will quit. I had a customer from Minnesota. He came down ever 3 or 4 weeks with a very large trailer. I sold to him for years, but he had a very bad temper. He cussed me like a drunken sailor one day over something that was his fault. He got into it with his wife one day and decided to drown her in their hot tub. She didn't want to drown, so he had to beat her up to make it happen. Then he decided to burn the house down to try and hide the evidence. (Burnt him self pretty bad in the process).

When his employees tried to draw unemployment, they found out he was taking it out of their check, but not sending it in. They could not draw. I think he was having an affair with an American Indian woman and all the taxes/unemployment stuff fell on her. I don't know if they caught her or not, but he spent 20 plus years teaching English to Mexicans in a Minnesota prison. Just got out a year or so ago. He beat me out of thirty thousand dollars.

 

[cordmaker]

Sorry, I was working on paper stuff.

Here are the pictures:

The glass box, I volunteer at Hope2All, I made this for one of my friends there. His wife worked with stained glass before she passed away a few years ago, about 6 months ago he asked me if I wanted the glass she had left. I asked him how much he wanted for the glass, he told me he didn't want anything for it, he just ask if I could make him a glass box for her Bible, I hope I don't disappoint him. He's retired Army Vet!!! Thank you again Bert. I knew that you was busy

What really irritates me is that these USG High-Ups can just take classified info outside of a SCIF and take it home. I would be sitting in a Fed Pen right now if I would have done that.

Of course you would. So would I. But we’re not certifiably senile and dementia-addled. Joe gets a pass because he doesn’t have the mental capacity to do any better.

Things are rough here in AZ as well. Hospital accessabiltily depressed wih delays widespread. The non-english isssue for me has made it made it difficulit to order things food as simple as a fish sandwich much trim a tree.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F and cloudy. Increasing rain changes beginning at 9 am. Meh, we need it.

@cordmaker : Very nice work, as usual. I carry the glass ornament you hand-crafted for me in my backpack. It goes everywhere with me and will visit Germany next month.

Game Day! Zags visit Rupp. Game broadcast begins at 3 pm CT. Go Cats!

Wishing all a winning Saturday.

IT'S GAME DAY!

Keeping it ^^^^^^^^^^^short this time. Don't want to get too excited, don't know which team will show up.

@berniecarbo Keep on with the stories whenever you like. I don't mind.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Back from a morning run. Cool and cloudy but pleasant in the east.

Big chance for the Cats today. Playing short handed again. But it’s a deep team. I hope Kentucky has enough.

My wife is still not herself after the botched procedure. She had to cancel a trip to New York she was looking forward to. If she’s feeling better maybe a pre-Valentine’s Dinner tonight at a steakhouse we both like.

Hope it is a good day for everyone. Go Cats.
