Morning Legionnaires!

57° this morning with light winds. Today's high in the upper 70's.

Busy day today with the usual monster walk, workout, and house cleaning this morning. Out for lunch with wife, daughter, and then on to shopping midday through early afternoon. After returning home, time to cut and weed eat the grass. With rain coming in on Sunday, I could cut the grass tomorrow, but I hear the siren's call of the Large Mouth Bass and must answer the call.

Well, for you hard working folks out the TGIF. Be safe out there and God Bless.

Looked back and found a "fond" memory...

That was my toilet while I was in Korea. The only gaming type device I ever liked. I loved that toilet... It was a joy to sit on that thing... It would do everything except make you go.... (I know, I know... TMI butt.....)

Last night in my area on Middle Tennessee.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 70°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 83°F

@Catfan in Tn: Appreciate Northern Lights pics. Gorgeous.

Cats baseball outlasted Gators yesterday, 12-11, F/10 down in Gainesville yesterday. Teams play again today. Go Cats!

Probably head over to Aldi, later this morning before the game.

Wishing y'all another awesome Saturday.

Good morning folks. Back from my longest run since the hip surgery 18 months ago - 5 miles. Dropping some weight has made a difference. Sunny and cool in the east. These are some of the best weather days of the year.

Heading downtown to cruise around some of the Smithsonian museums -- Natural History, probably Air and Space. They've more or less ruined the American History museum by trying to make it too "diverse" and "inclusive" and "relevant." Every exhibit is twisted and tortured to make sure we know some Eskimo woman was playing a key role behind the scenes while white men got the credit. But that said, plenty of great stuff to catch my attention among all the world class museums in DC.

Hope it is a good day for you folks.

Hello all,

Just time now to sit at my computer... Been out and about watching soccer with two of my grandbabies and my oldest girl as the coach. Now the two Booger Butts are running through the house having a blast. Clean-up is harsh...

Actually it is Little Bigger Booger Butt and Bigger Bigger Booger Butt... (They won't be that much longer but is sure was fun while it lasted. At 4 and 5, they are getting near the point of giving Papa a strange look or three.) They still love their Papa and Ama though... We are truly thankful...

GO CATS!!!

 

[BBUK]

America?...

 

[vhcat70]

UK baseball was a cluster today.

 

[BBUK]

Baseball.... Yep...

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

@warrior-cat this is for you. I could not pass it up.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Hello folks.

Cool, cloudy morning. Not much on the agenda. A “home alone” weekend, and not a lot of chores needing my attention.

Heading out for a long hike along part of a path that run through some beautiful woods, all the way to Rock Creek Park into DC.

Hope it is a restful day for all.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and cloudy. Rain expected mid-morning. Today's high expected around 80°F.

It's Mother's Day. I'll stop by one of many stands on North Lamar during my walk and grab some flowers for wife.

Gators whooped up on Cats yesterday. Frustrating loss. Both teams play again today.

Wishing y'all a peaceful Sunday.

Morning Legionnaires!

60° this morning with cloudy skies and light winds. Rain last night with more around noon today. Coed games cancelled again today because of wet fields. 4th weekend in a row. We played the first two games of the season (lost both) and haven't played since. Men's league had only one rained out and we are 6-1 there.

Did not go fishing yesterday, there is a Red Leg Challenge going on at Ft. Sill 10-14 May so, soldiers will be all over the areas I fish. Could have gone to the lakes in the area but, I have not done well there without a boat.

Walking the monster shortly and then who knows. Wife and daughter stayed up until the wee hours as they celebrated Mother's Day just hanging out. Have not looked for it yet, but they were talking about making a chocolate cake last night when I went to bed at around 10:30. I will buy lunch for them today as I figure they will not be up until about that time.

You folks relax and enjoy the day and God Bless all the mothers out there.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

I forgot to wish the women in you fellows' lives a Happy Mother's Day.

My wife in in NYC, so I'll take some flowers out to her mother for her later. My kids are all scattered. My older daughter, a mother herself, is visiting her mother in Wyoming.

It'll be a tough day for my dad, with mom passing so recently, and of course all of us will be thinking of her.

Hope the women in your lives who carry the title mother have a great day.

 

[BBUK]

Good late morning all,

Just got back rom church. It seems we are leaving to eat. (I'd rather stay home and eat a sandwich but....)

I got so many Mothers here and since my oldest daughter stated SHE was paying today. I know I will... . Have a fine day and God Bless all you Mothers... and Sirs... 😁 😍

HA, my oldest got there 15 minutes early and only paid for herself and my grand daughter...

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and cloudy. Good chance for rain around noon. Today's high may reach 81°F.

Cats def Gators yesterday, 7-5 in 10 innings.. Team would not quit. Loved it.

Must take wife to colonoscopy at 5:20 am. Keeping it short this morning.

Monday, Monday.... Wishing y'all a great start to your week.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Cloudy and cool in the east.

Heading out just to get a little exercise in before I settle into my work from home day.

Quiet evening. My wife is still in NYC. I watched a random Hitchcock movie last night to kill some time —Rope. It’s basically a filmed play built around the idea that two young men murder a third just for the thrill of it —because they consider themselves superior beings capable of deciding life and death —and then Jimmy Stewart slowly unravels the case. Very loosely based on the Leopold and Loeb thrill killing of the 1920s when two rich college kids did kill a young boy just to show they could get away with it. Not Hitchcock’s best. But a way to pass the time.

Heading out. Have a good day folks.

58° this morning with cloudy skies and light rain.

Watched the UK vs UF baseball game and there were some really good defensive plays made from both sides. Happy with the win. Also watched the Reds blow it again. Back to more of the same.

Not much going on today other than working out and walking the monster after the rain goes away. Suppose to clear up in an hour or so.

Enjoy the day if you can. Be safe out there and God Bless.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Back at it... Busy busy BUT, I am thankful! Have a fine day...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 65°F and clear. Today's high expected around 89°F.

Wife survived her colonoscopy with no issues. 29 days from now, it's my turn. Not looking forward to the prep.

Going for a long hike later. Y'all behave.

@Bert Higginbotha

Needed these👓to read your post. Old man eyes here.

Morning Legionnaires!

59° this morning with light winds. Today's high to reach low to mid 80's. Still a lot of standing water around so, may not play men's league games tonight unless they can work the fields enough to play. We shall see.

Monster walk, leg workout, and small honey do list on tap for the morning. After that, I will rest (couch potato) for the rest of the day until near game time.

Enjoy your day folks and God Bless.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Thats an interesting poster Bert. I note the date —very close to the high tide of the Confederacy. Lee was about to drive McClellan off the James River peninsula, crush an army under Pope at Second Manassas and invade Maryland. Morgan was raiding into Kentucky, and the Union had been stymied in Mississippi and Tennessee. My kin folk were with the rebel armies then, in both Tennessee and Virginia.

Heading into work on the subway. My wife will be getting home today. Tomorrow, I will “run” (stagger) through the Capital Classic 5K…

I hope it’s a good day for all.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Thought I was going into the office today but got it put off until Friday. A going away dinner function... Not to shabby... I am thankful. I work more when at home but it is conducive to less time strictly due to the travel. Actually getting myself back manageable weight-wise already.

Have an Underdog day...

@Bert Higginbotha

Thanks. I will print that out.

My great grand father James B. Lee had a son go to the North and one to the South and by the end of the war they had been robbed of everything.

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and clear. Today's high expected around 91°F. We hit 94°F yesterday. Dreaded summer quickly descending upon us.

Chemo this morning. Plan on getting a hike in before leaving at 8:30 am. Keeping it short.

Wish y'all a Happy Hump Day.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

Austin, my thoughts will be with you this morning. I hope it’s on the better side of awful today.

I’m already down town, meeting a couple colleagues soon then heading over to a park along the Anacostia River to run the Capital Classic 5K. It’s a DC tradition. Lots of US senators, Congress people and even a couple Supreme Court justices (Cavanaugh, the Black woman) turn out. I always dread it, then get a minor list when it is over. Steady rain this morning so I just want it to start —it can’t end until it starts.

Hope you all have a good day.

Morning Sports Fans!

63° this morning with moderate winds. Today's high to be in the upper 80's with a good chance of rain later in the day.

Played 2 last night and won both. We won the first by 10 runs and the second by one run beating the only team to beat us earlier this year by one run. We are currently 8-1. I went 3-5 at the plate and 2 walks. Was thrown out at second in the second game trying to stretch a single into a double my first at bat and then, thrown out trying to take third from first after a single was hit while I was on first from on my second at bat. Wanted that game badly.

Walking the monster and working out this morning and playing Mr. Miyagi this afternoon.

@AustinTXCat , headem up, movem out. Keep rolling my friend, thoughts and prayers always with you.

@MdWIldcat55 a little advice on the run this morning. Try to stay dry by running between the rain drops.

Be safe out there folks and God Bless.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Up and at it... Dead Ant, Dead Ant, Dead Ant Dead Ant Dead Ant....Dead Ant Dead Ant, Dead Ant Dead Ant....

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Morning folks. 63.0°F and cloudy here. We got .39" of rain yesterday and last night. We can still use a little rain although it has been a wet couple weeks.

Best of luck with the chemo Austin. That must be a grind.

You all have a good hump day.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Survived the race. As I told my teammates, "I have a strategy for this race. I'm going to start slow until I find my rhythm. Then I'm going to slow down."

I did beat a few people, including far lefty Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, which I know only because as I was in my cool-down walk they announced her crossing the finish line.

But hey, much like second grade girls' soccer, EVERYONE GETS A MEDAL!

Real glad your able to do what you love. I never liked running but did what I had to when I had to... I enjoy hearing about your escapades and encounters.

I am in a better livelihood gear now already due to this new job and work schedule. I am trending in the right direction...

I have a "going-away" luncheon I am supposed to attend this Friday in Alexandria in lieu of going into the office yesterday. I pulled that joint up and it is much more money-wise than I'd ever frequent but to each his own. I will sure eat light that day. Though in looking now I see a Beef Tartare and a couple items I could go for and though they are more expensive than I normally eat they aren't that far away price-wise... Yeah, I'm frugal.... (I will spend on my family but not me. I am happy like I am...)
