The talk on here of picking up flowers and smelling them and putting them back reminded me of something.......when I quit smoking, I picked up about 75 lbs......when I decided something needed to be done I went on a diet...........when we would go grocery shopping I would put bakery goods, candy and all the things I shouldn't eat in my cart and push it around........Then when the Director would head to the check out I would go put it back........it seemed to help my craving for junk food just top push it around in my cart.......I still do it to this day......I will haul it around until check out time and then.......change my mind.........and put it back on the shelf.

One input from finishing taxes: K-1 for our little rentals LLC. Just got our income & expenses info to CPA a week ago, so likely another 3-4 weeks till we get it. SOP. I think I estimated our taxes pretty well this year such that we'll get a little back. That's the way I like it: a little back.
Good Morning D
Sitting here drinking my coffee and enjoying a quiet morning. We have 54° and sunrise will be 7:14 a.m. We will have sunny skies and reach a high of 83° by mid afternoon. Our humidity is a very comfortable 100%. Sweat boy, sweat. You owe me two more swings. The old timers told me sweating is good for the soul.
I have some more yard work scheduled, probably 3 or 4 hours then I hit the pool to sooth my aching bones. I bought a large jar of mayo yesterday and it cost a little over $11.00. I am going to make my own from this point forward. Like mama did. I saw a poll where the majority of Americans are all in and OK with inflation and high gas prices if it will cause the Russians to leave Ukraine. Who are these people.
I trust all are well and have a nice day.
Hope you and everyone in the D-League are doing well. Miss talking with yall.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and cloudy. Warming into low 70s before cold front moves in.
Happy Friday, y'all. It's been a long week.
EDIT: Just found out I got a 7% pay increase effective 3/1/24. Woooo Hooo!

Most lethal sniper in Marine Corps history, Chuck Mawhinney, dead at 75
Despite having the highest kill count out of any sniper in the branch’s history, Mawhinney returned home in 1970, slipped back into everyday life without recognition, and secured a job with the US …

Good morning folks.
Working from home today, so took a long hike (with a short run to kick it off) and am now settling in.
Beautiful day in the east. Cold and clear and sunny.
Not much to report yet, but I'll wish you all well. And if Sawnee does find his way here, drawn by the summons a few posts above, then let me say I miss hearing from you as well.

That's your fault! 😉 (Or, mine...)
Definitely mine

Weird that someone from the military could just come home and be a regular citizen. You'd think from their constant portrayal in media that they all come back broken and unhinged or ready to snap at any minute, despite centuries of evidence to the contrary.
First snow in a while started hour ago. Say up to 2", but ground warm & not sticking on non-grass areas.
Wind chills on K2 in the -100’s Sunday and Monday
I think I’ll stay in the yurt and drink warmed blooded goats milk

Question for long timers…what became of WildcatDon? I was off here for three or four years. Enjoyed his posts a lot
I really should call and check on him. Have not spoken with Don since early last year.
Good morning folks. Woke up to about two inches of snow on the ground. Went out for an early run and am now enjoying some coffee and warming up my feet.
Big chance for the Cats tonight. Here's hoping.
Looking forward to the weekend. We have reservations at a favorite restaurant tonight.
Hope it is a good one for everyone.

Good morning all,
Went to a men's retreat yesterday late at church. Decided not to go this morning. I have some time to myself with just me and my wife. We had a good time once I got home yesterday. Been a while since we've been alone.
Anyway, my garage needs some serious work and as soon as I finish this message going to hit it.
We just got a dusting of snow here. I am thankful. Called for three to four...
Have a snowless day.
Go CATS!!!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 41°F, chilly and windy. Today's high may not reach much above 48°F. Expecting 80s by end of next week.
Cats at Auburn Tigers, today at 5 pm CST. Go Cats!
Planning vacations for this summer. Hope I live long enough to experience 'em.
Wishing y'all a winning Saturday.

Another story for warrior. I was stationed at DaNang ( aka Rocket City) for a while working the 4-12 shift in security. We had a new guy in country take over as shift commander. Most of the time as senior man, I was working the ECP at our bomb dump a bit away from the main base. The new commander was like a 26 year vet. He would come up and inspect the bomb dump about dark every night. He started seeing and hearing things that weren't there. He could see charlie and see and hear him firing at us and would order the guys (who couldn't see or hear the enemy) to fire back. The Marine dump was right across the road and charlie never bothered them (I reckon they were tougher than us). The firefight always ended when the midnight shift took over. One night, I not so tactfully told him he was crazy. After a week or so, the brass also decided he was crazy and sent him home for a psych eval.
I talked to Ymmot last week and he keeps in touch with Don; however, he has had a stroke and does not answer the phone very often.
I suppose WildcatDon is the father of this thread. What a fine man.
HA, let me tell one on my dumb arse....
I was out working in the garage cleaning straightening and throwing away...
There was a light dusting of snow on My Darlings car. Turned to the hard ice but not too hard and not so thick. Got to thinking, I will get the scraper with a brush on the end and clean the stuff off My Darlings car..... but it's in the trunk....
Yeah, I opened the trunk and had an avalanche. The trunk snow and the back window snow all came off.... Where you may ask??? Into my wife's trunk... MAN I am glad it is at freezing...
I was grabbing handfuls and grabbing handfuls scooping, anything I could do to get that crap out before it thawed.... I was working fast. 😅
Got it to where I grabbed my shop vac and sucked all the rest out.... THEN had to clean the dirty dusty muddy inside of my shop vac.... Yeah, I "ain't" got the sense God gave a goose...🤣🤣🤣🥲

Bat Cats play at 1300 CST today. I will try to get that game. Have an internet TV app that allows me to watch a lot of sports from all over the world.
I have a P38 and a P28.
"Although “Opener, Can, Hand, Folding” is its official Army nomenclature, it soon acquired the popular name P-38. Historians disagree as to which of three theories explains the moniker. One is that soldiers called it the P-38 because it could open a can faster than the P-38 Lightning fighter plane could fly. A more likely explanation is that the “38” comes from the length of the can opener, which is 38 millimeters (or 1 1/2 inches). It also is possible that “38” was the number of punches (a “P” word) it took to open a ration can. All experts agree that P-38 did not derive its name from the Walther P-38 pistol used by the German military in World War II."

I'm changing my routine for the game. Watching in the sunroom as opposed to the basement, wearing a Miles Davis t-shirt instead of a UK t-shirt, etc.. My good luck charms have failed me this season for the big games. Doing what I can to help the cause.
Only 3 signature games left in the regular season, Auburn, Bama and UT.

Good half Cats! How 'bout that defense.
Nice first half...Auburn did miss a lot of wide open shots first 8-10 minutes of the half, only shot 28 percent. We did better on the boards, held are own, rebounds basically even.
This would be a great win if the Cats are going to make something of this season. Need a strong second half.

Weather the storm guys. Everyone knew Auburn would make runs this half. D
Way to go Cats!!! Big win on the road.
Awesome road win. Bruce freaked out. He lost it. Go Cats!
Cats showed a toughness that I haven't seen all season. Really came to fight against one of the hottest teams in the country in a hostile environment. A lot of positives to take from this game. Too many "ifs" left with 6 games to go but you gotta like their chances going forward.
Big win that I did not expect. Bruce Pearl should have gotten a "T". He is a prick.
Us folks from Poultland went on to settle Lexington because Flower smelled better?
