1. Mild linear scarring in the right upper lobe, unchanged.
2. Otherwise, no mass or adenopathy seen in the chest, abdomen or pelvis.

Good morning folks.
Thats great news Austin on your health tests.
I’m still peeing blood from my procedure ten days ago. Nothing to worry about. But I’m ready for normalcy.
The time switch almost never bothers me but it has this year. Somehow I’m up EARLIER than I should be instead of later, and can’t go back to sleep. So I’m in DC a full hour too early. You want to see bums, BB, come around the Penn Quarter early. Or up around the MLK library. Some city-subsidized group hands out thermal sleeping bags and there are mobile homeless kitchens. But still a tough way to live. A real advertisement for staying off drugs and keeping booze to an occasional indulgence.
Back to work for me. You all have a good day.

Morning Legionnaires!
49° this morning with moderate winds. High today near 80°. Tomorrow will be mid 80's with moderate winds as well. Fishing will be the order of the day.
Going to the heart doctor this morning (follow up from last year this time). Had those chest pains last March when blood pressure was 212/90. Routine follow up so...hopefully in and out.
Good to hear Austin, keep on fighting and safe travels for your upcoming vacation and God's speed.
Be safe out there grinders and God Bless.

Tongue in cheek sir.........
Scallops are really hard to best. Stone crabs claws in Florida are a close second.
I don't like Cow tongue much.... Sir.... 😁
What about chicken gizzards?
😂 (I'd have to ask Mr. SC Sir... I may have worn out my welcome though...Mr. SC be talking....Gizzards or bust!) 😂What about chicken gizzards?
Don't be holding your breath while you are waiting....
Me neither......I wouldn't be disrespectful to Mr. Bert by any means.......this is the downside of this type of communications.............If'n I was looking him in the eye he would have not take my statement the wrong way......I was just relating.........hoof in mouth............
The ACC Conference Tournament is being held directly across the street from my office, at the Verizon Center in DC...(I think it has another corporate sponsor now, but Verizon Center to me.)
It is a beautiful day so I took a stroll at lunch around the couple blocks nearby. Restaurants and sports bars are packed with fans who bought the ticket packages -- Duke seems to be the majority, North Carolina next, then a smattering of fans from the teams playing today like Notre Dame and Georgia Tech and NC State...So far I haven't seen one Louisville fan...Sad because ten years ago, maybe even five, they'd have been out in force.

Can there be too few LV fans?

interesting read on former Cat.
I did not take it the wrong way. I just responded.
You should not worry. I worked at the railroad for 32 years (railroad men teach sailors how to cuss) and then I held elective office for ten years. I can take it. My skin is an inch thick.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 82°F.
Doctor visit + blood work + chemo this morning. Leave here around 10 am.
Happy Hump Day. Wishing y'all a good one.

Good morning folks. Heading into DC in the dark. A cool, clear day in the east.
On the edge of college hoops craziness. Great times.
Thanks for that link on Odie Smith Bernie. I was too young to remember him at Kentucky, but saw him play many times for the Cincinnati Royals along side Oscar Robertson. Man, he could really shoot.
I hope you all have a good day.

This says it all for me today. Leaving in an hour or so. Hoping for this.
But, if this happens...
I may resort to this...

Must be 30 years ago, he was back in the area and attended a local high school game. they introduced him at half time, and he got a standing ovation. I liked the part where he learned to shoot with a homemade basketball of sorts.
Had a talk with him some 15 years ago. Talked how Rupp recruited him from JC by having him work out in the gym in street shoes and slacks.Adrian Smith (basketball) - Wikipedia

Fishing report: Warrior-Cat 1/ Large Mouth Bass 0.
Had 2 strikes with only 1 hooked and it was landed. Not much bigger than the tiny one in my last post. Needed me some:

I knew two different guys that worked laying tracks........one drank a fifth of bourbon every day the other could cut through metal with his language.........used more cuss words per 1,000 than anyone I have ever met...........

Not much to report. Prepping for trip.
Wishing y'all a great day.

I had a shock yesterday. As I entered the building where I work I bumped into a supervisor who looked ashen. He told me a woman I work with closely, and had spent a lot of time with late last week plotting out a project, had died overnight. No details yet, except it’s apparently natural causes, not foul play or self harm. A real blow. She was about my age -mid to late 60s —and had a long career working in DC. I guess we’re at the age that these things are going to happen.
And life goes on. As cold as it sounds, I had to hire a contractor yesterday to help with some work. Deadlines don’t change no matter what.
Sorry to share a sad tale. I hope all is well with you folks.

So sorry to hear that brother MdW... I only know how I felt. I think I shared this when it happened about a year ago...
This guy was 53 or 54 and in good shape. I received this text... I think it was about 6 or 7PM that night I got a call from Louise... Patrick did not live to see another day. I am not haunted by this but I sure remember it vividly reminding me, we are not promised tomorrow, we are not promised the next minute. Be thankful in all circumstances....
Take care, God Bless you and sorry again for your loss and how you had to go through it...
Things being allowed to go a little too far... (A lot actually...)
Duty, Honor, Country...No More?
West Point secedes?

Hell, my second batch of kids were just hitting their teens then and needed me desperately -- which is why I eased out of my several visits a year to Iraq and Afghanistan routine about that time and took a permanent desk job. No regrets recommitting to my family at that age. It has been the best time of my life -- and the other times were pretty good.
The only thing that saved me was that I was in Sales and Marketing. I had to show class or lose my job. But the culture at the railroad was rough.
Yes Sir,
I just ripped into a guy in my office I think Monday as he went Navy/ Railroad in a business setting. I cut his feet out from under him quickly. A guy about my age and ethnicity so I took more liberties. (This guy has been asking for it any way. Always taking things to the edge of the line when no reason to do so...) (I'd have done it anyway with anyone.)
I am no saint and use my share of vulgarity but darn, control thy self...

I ran multiple job sites for many years........I could leave a project and go into a meeting with clients, architect, designers.............I did very well with the folks that was supposed to be above that sort of language...........if you want to hear salty language........get a female designer upset on her little project.......some of them can melt your ear lobes for sure..........in grade school Fr. Prectel was our 4th grade basketball coach................he told us that sometimes.....you just have to use the words for the situation........I guess I was born with an internal switch...........although.........with the level of stupidity that one sees and hears today......it is a challenge sometimes......
@MdWIldcat55 In the last year and a half to 2 years I have seen 3 Black Belt acquaintances/friends and an old boss pass (went to all their funerals) and only one was older than me. One was last Friday. It has got me to thinking (not excessively) about the future and how it can change at a moment's notice now in that respect.
Not to make light, but me going to so many these days reminds me of what Yogi Berra said when ask why he went to so many of the funerals he had gone to.
“Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.”
Condolences.

One of my uncles coached basketball for many years (high school and some small college). We were talking about cussing at players. I was talking about females since my daughter was playing. He was talking all players. He said, "sometimes you just have to get their attention."
