Weather the storm guys. Everyone knew Auburn would make runs this half. D
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.
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.
Do any of you remember the Bird?
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.
WC, is it on the bottom of your heel or back?
Morning Legionnaires!
37° this morning and light winds. High today in the mid 70's and moderate winds. Tomorrow near 80°. Looks like fishing will begin shortly as the next week or so will be in the 60's and 70's.
Been dealing with some foot problems for a few months so I visited the doctor Thursday last week. Plantar Fasciitis with bone spurs on the heels. He injected some medication across the right heel area and sold me some orthotics inserts for my shoes. He told me to limit my activity, so I have not done much exercising the legs. However, I still have to get out and walk the monster. I think she enjoys it more as we have slowed down, and she gets more sniffing of the walk areas. Have another appointment with the doctor next week to see how it is going to determine whether surgery will be needed or find out if the medication and inserts helped enough to continue on this path.
Enjoy the day folks and you grinders stay safe out there.
God Bless America...we need it now more than ever.

They are kind of expensive for a sock, but I love Thorlos. I am supposed to wear a brace for my left ankle, but I don't. The extra cushioning in Thorlos help me a lot.Bottom
I didn't stay at a Holiday inn last night, but I've had them got the inserts, but my doctor told me 2 things to do. One was take a towel and before I get out of bed put it at my toes and pull back on it, that stretches it out, it use to hurt like heck the first step I took. The other thing was to roll my foot on a frozen water bottle. Yours may be totally different than mine, but that's what I did and didn't have to take any shotsBottom
Nope, not different. Have those plus a few extra stretches as well.I didn't stay at a Holiday inn last night, but I've had them got the inserts, but my doctor told me 2 things to do.

Here is to health and a good memory!Good morning from ATX. Currently 62°F and cloudy. Clearing later for a high of 75°F. Warm yesterday. Our high reached 79°F. Walked for about an hour in shorts.
Seeing radiation doctor this AM. Short visit. Must give disposition via phone at noon regarding a legal case about crap that happened years ago.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.
Edit: Go Cats! Beat Tigers.
Cue Cheech and Chong. If you know, you know.
Good morning folks.
Austin, hope your health and legal issues both go well.
A bit more health sadness in my wife's family -- and thus in mine. Her favorite aunt in NYC is getting worse with her cancer diagnosis. Still hope, but not positive. Another aunt by marriage is in an irreversible coma in New York, and there may be a funeral as early as this week. And she is taking her step-father to Georgetown Medical Center today so he can have a suspicious brain shadow that showed up in an MRI further probed. With what my mother is going through, it just feels like we've been hit by a hurricane of bad news. I know it is inevitable with the generation older than us - people ranging into their 80s and older. But it is still a lot to deal with at once.
As a distraction, I'd love to see the Cats keep up some momentum today.
You all stay safe.

A guy that I grew up with and still play music with to this day........his dad was on Iwo Jima that day......he carried it with him the rest of his life.......Good morning from ATX. Currently 35°F and clear. Touch breezy. Wind picking up later. Expecting 64°F for today's high.
Off today for Presidents Day, but transporting couple firearms to gun-shop for shipment. Finally get that task off off my plate.
Monday, Monday....
Wishing y'all an awesome day.
