Good morning everyone

We've been busy. We did get to get out and enjoy a hike yesterday and had a good time. We were looking for mushrooms (morels) and I jumped up a dove in a brush pile so knew to look. Looky what I found out in the middle of nowhere.

We were able to find a few mushrooms and came back home and found a dozen on our property. First time we've found more than one. Here's the largest.

We're going on a hike with our older group in the morning and then off to the lake. I won't be around much during this time but hope to at least hear about our new hire if it doesn't happen today.

I hope everyone has a great day.

I haven't seen anything official but Pope will have my support as well. He's not as young as some are making it out......51. He's got some good wins and has a decent system (I haven't watched enough the last 4 years to really add much).

I think I'll venture over to RR.....deep breath.....pray for me.

Yep, HOB and Rafters lost their collective minds.

It appears Mark Pope is our new coach. He's got my support.

Sincerely,

Your local "sunshine pumper" :cool:

You know, in reality, I will watch and support but, my expectations have waned over the last few years to the point that I have become somewhat indifferent.

I have a little thought in the back of my mind that the powers that be realize they will not get who they want right now and maybe have been given word that one of these home run hires have told them they would be available in a year or so. So, perhaps this is a secret interim hire to prepare for the better hire a little later down the road.

Wishful thinking? Come on into my world for a bit, sit down, and have a drink.

I've got better things to do than RR right now.

Spent yesterday evening out in the rain ditching water runoff. Here's a pic from my little county road looking down the valley (holler). We need bigger culverts since they redid the Hwy (119) going over the mountain. It all runs down on us now.

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.
It started from this country road, around this tiny tip.

Be safe out there Storm.

Good morning D, well it looks like we have a new coach, maybe. I like Pope, I watched some of BYU's games and liked what I daw in his offense. If he could get good players there, then he can get better players here, he has my support! I also think that he will bring in a good staff. I saw where there "might" be someone brought in as a special assistant, we'll see. I know right now I am excited about the season ahead! Have a great one D!!!! Still praying for the D, especially ATX!!!

Thanks. We're much higher than the flooding. We have lots of runoff heading down that way, but we're fine. It came up fast and went back down fast. A few vehicles had to be pulled out of the ditches. We're off for a hike in a bit and then driving to the lake.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 83°F.

- In Pope We Trust. I think we'll be okay. Mark is indeed a smart guy. 2024-2025 season may disappoint some. Hope I'm still around to witness it.

- Baseball Cats pounded Auburn Tigers 9-1 last night on the Plains. GBB!

- Donated $41 to Club Blue FOOTBALL. Hey, I'm a tightwad. Can't cut into upcoming Iceland/Massachusetts and Scotland vacations too much. Whoa Nessie!

- Plan on cleaning up some golf balls I found. Range balls. $5 per 50. Got around 1400 left.

- Heading out for a hike in a few.

Wishing y'all an awesome Saturday.

Good morning all,

Whew the taxes, just whew....

BUT, that's finished for now. Going to my grand babies soccer practice. Then me and My Darling will hit the markets. Edit: And the woods.... My Darling has a couple spots where she gets "greens" and other sorts of items that are great for the picking this time of year....

Have an enjoyable day....

Went fishing this morning. Fishing report follows:

5 strikes with 3 hooked and one landed so...Large Mouth Bass 2---Warrior-Cat 1. One of the ones that got away was pretty big. It jumped out of the water, and I could see it was a healthy one. I had casted a ways out so it was going to take a bit to bring it in. After jumping out of the water, it went deep on me and got caught in the grass. I tried pulling in through, but it was stuck really deep in the grass. Had to let some line out in hopes it would wiggle out of the grass but instead it spit out the hook. The Jerk.

Me and My Darling just got home... Did some serious woods walking. We had not been for a long while... Felt good but I hurt a little.

That's okay, we also went to the commissary and I finally got to the Class six gas station.

Got me some Yuengling Pilsner, Lager, and Black and Tan.. (I like to switch it up at times...)

Gonna partake shortly.

My Darling and I found a good stash of some good greens... (Not sure of the names in english except some mugwart but we got three walmart bags full. My Darling will make masterpiece meals with this stuff... I am thankful. The BB may be over in a bit but just while his Mom hits the gym.

I plan to watch a John Wayne movie or two today and then we shall see...

Not worried about sneaky snakes yet but they will be out soon...

Checking my Fitbit we did right at 7 miles...

Go Cats... Hopefully all together now...

RR is full of some mean puppies. I think Pope will be just fine. He wants to be here, understands the tradition. knows how important this team is to the fans, wants to win, etc.. He hasn't even stepped foot on campus yet and RR is ready to roast him. GD it give him a chance. I hope he smokes it his first season just to shut these bastards up.

You have to remember one thing. It is so easy to be a killer on the Internet. I see so many say things online they'd never say to anyone's face. That is a distinct character flaw.

I worked up in DC and was in the same building with a certain poster. He wore UK lanyards and had smaller UK items. I struck up conversations with him though very brief. The only reason I knew who he was username-wise, he was logged on his computer and away from it and I had to be in his office or should I say cubical.

Oh the things this chump posts. I'd have called him out but I just laughed as this guy was what My Darling would call an anchovy. A shriveled sort ... Those internet muscles are dangerous. ;)

Good morning from ATX. Currently 65°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 84°F.

- Having tons of fun with this Mark Pope hire. I remain optimistic.

- Watched Cats Baseball beat Auburn Tigers 13-8 yesterday on SEC+. That makes 3 consecutive series sweeps and won 10 consecutive SEC games. Now ranked #8 in the nation. GBB!

- Also watched "Zone of Interest" last night after baseball game. Good German language film with subtitles. Won 2 Oscars last year. Filmed in Poland. Really enjoyed it.

Wish y'all a peaceful Sunday.

Morning Legionnaires!

61° this morning with a high of 91° expected. Going to try to play softball today with a coed team. They are short one guy so...Plantar Fasciitis still bothering me but not as much as before. Spent the day on my feet from walking the monster, fishing, shopping, lunch with wife and daughter to cutting the grass yesterday afternoon and it was only a little sore last night. Yes, it is not running but...we will see. Got to be on my toes as the guy running the team wants me to play third. Hot box.

I have been wrapping my right foot the last couple of days in a wrap with castor Oil on the inside. Old remedy that is supposed to help.

The Bat Cats are doing really well, and it is a welcome break from the coaching insanity and even though the Reds are hovering just above .500, they are still fun to watch.

Have not seen @MdWIldcat55 on here the last few days, hope all is good.

@AustinTXCat, keep on keeping on man and prayers for you.

The rest of you enjoy your Sunday and God Bless.
