D-League

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and cloudy. Heat warning if effect. Today's high expected around 93°F.

Woke at 1:45 am and could not fall back asleep. Bah!

Heading out around 6:30 am for a walk. Work email and tickets first.

Great day to be alive. Wishing y'all a good one.

Good morning folks.

Sunny and cool in the east. One of those 50-60 perfect days we get every year in the DMV, as the locals call suburban DC.

I was talking to my older daughter this morning, sharing a laugh, when I had the insight that all three of my kids are genuinely likeable. Maybe that’s just the way every parent feels. I hope so. In any case, there is an element of luck when it comes to my kids. All of them get their personalities from their mothers.

Heading downtown on the subway. Hope you all have a good day.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and cloudy. Steamy. Increasing rain chances tonight. May get another storm before next heat wave kicks in. We may hit 93°F today.

Little brother wants to hit up Jim Beam Distillery tour out in Clermont this coming Saturday before we board bourbon train. Possible. Depends on how much time we got.

Priced Turkey's for Thanksgiving over in Germany this year. 25-pound bird could set me back more than $200 this year. Huge market difference between here and Germany.

Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Good morning folks. Another sunny, beautiful day in the east. First hint of summer heat in the air. Soon a long morning walk would have me saturated in sweat and needing a(nother) shower before work.

Week going fast. We have a modest cook out planned for the weekend —just my wife’s parents our daughter and her boyfriend and a couple of my wife’s eccentric relatives. She’s got a cousin who tried his hand as a movie set technician in Hollywood, and married a woman who had a few tiny roles in movies before giving it up. She’s got maybe two lines in Planes, Trains, Automobiles for example. At least their stories are different from the usual ones you hear in DC.

Hope you all have a good day.

Morning Legionnaires!

71° this morning and rather muggy. Mid 70's for a high expected.

Normal monster walk and workout early this morning. Later in the morning we are taking our daughter to Dave and Busters in OKC (her choice) for a graduation gift.

Played 2 games in men's league last night winning both (18-5 and 13-12) making us 10-1 for the season so far. Not a good night hitting for me as I went 0-4 and 2 sacrifices (drove in 2 runs in second game). The rest of the team was stroking it so...

Hump day for you grinders so, attack that hill and skate down the other side.

Be careful out there and God Bless.

@AustinTXCat Does a decent bottle of wine come with that turkey?

WHOA!!!!

I'd rather have the roast beast.....

Sound like Korean watermelons...

When they were three or four dollars here they were twenty or more in Korea.

So many things I like went so sky high crazy, I just quit buying them. I couldn't enjoy them at the price I had to pay so....

Good morning all,

Working at home today but sure am engaged... I kind of dread next week as I have to be up to DC four days. Once to my office, twice to the Pentagon and once to the DC VA. All on different days.

My Darling and I ARE planning on going fishing and crabbing this Saturday. Going to the Navy Recreation Center in Maryland... We shall see...



Have a great day...
 
Good morning from ATX. 79°F is our current temperature. Cloudy. Steamy. Today's high expected near 94°F. No rain last night.

LSU Tigers demolished Wildcats yesterday on a one-hitter, 11-0. Not good.

Busy day yesterday. Usual variety of know-nothing users.

Must pack a few last minute items. Nearly there.

Wishing y'all a good day.

Good morning folks.

Grim news yesterday —a favorite first cousin of my wife died at 58, apparently from a botched medical procedure that should have been routine. Tough for all the family. My wife and this guy were close. They were roughly the same age and for whatever reason, this guy lived with my wife’s family for a few summers when he was growing up —it was that kind of close knit family.

His mother had just died after a freak fall off the porch two months ago. Looks like we’ll be going to a funeral in NYC this weekend.

Tough times at work right now as well. Heading in to try to turn around some negative momentum.

Hope to post some lighter stuff soon. Take care guys.

Good morning all,

At work hard at it sitting at my desk. just a bunch to do now but not overwhelmed ....yet. We are giving it "ye ole" college try. I think things will work out. Looking at giving it three more years at the least... We shall see...

Have a day that makes you proud...

I have a lucky penny story.......I had a remodel job at a local stock brokers office. As per my habit I would go down in the evening to check the job out......if they were behind or needed a hand I pitched in......we were tearing out wooden office partitions......we worked at night so they could stay open,,,,,,I was helping them tear out partitions and pull up some old horse hair carpet padding......I pulled up a piece of padding and there was a penny.....as I am want to do I bent over and picked it up and stuck it in my pocket.....later that night when I came home and looked it was 1900 penny.........I was awake all night thinking that it had maybe fell off of someone's desk that we had moved before taking the partitions down........no one ever said a word.......it was good.......a few days later my guys cut the phone lines late Sunday evening........the eve of Black Monday..........when I went strolling in about 10:30 for a check of the weekend's progress........I was attacked......they knew the stock market was crashing but they had no phones or computer connection and my guys caused it........
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and cloudy in North Austin. Today's high expected around 93°F. Under excessive heat warning.

Cats beat Hogs yesterday. Face Gamecocks today. Go Big Blue!

Just found out Texas leads nation in hailstorms. We're gonna need a new roof soon.

All packed. Plan on leaving for airport around 8 am. Riding the bus. Stop downtown by university for some Chick-Fil-A. Flight departs at 3:55 pm. Must run a few errands before leaving.

Happy Friday, y'all.

Good morning all,

Back at it. Next week will be intensely busy way too much driving and in bad traffic BUT, that should be an outlier... Gotta do what you have to do.. I am thankful....

Not too many posts here now. (I know it's the "off-season" but I miss hearing about everyone. Hopefully your lives are complete and enjoyable EVERY day...

Take care...
 
I'm still around. I will (hope to) always be busy this time of year with fishing, turkey hunting, hiking, and ugh...mowing & weed eating. I try to check in every so often especially RR and see if there is any roster news.

Hiking with our older group today. It will be short (less than 2 miles) on the mountain trail. I and one other worked 5 hours Wednesday clearing the trail for the older hikers. Our 90 year old lady finally quit hiking, but we still have several in their 70's. One 60+ year old lady had her heart rate up in the 150's at the 2nd hill last time. My wife's was 88 and my heart rate was 83. I wish these old gals would walk a little more during the week. Oh well.

I'm doing well.....hope everyone is the same.
 
Good morning D-League. Thank goodness Friday is here. This week tested my late-in-my-career resolve to keep plugging away. But things broke my way yesterday, as they always do if you keep a focused effort going.

Still not sure if we're going to have to make a quick trip to NYC over the weekend to pay respects to my wife's cousin. No one seems to be able to make a decision on a funeral date in this time of turmoil. It may be they opt for a Memorial Service or a Celebration of Life or whatever at a later date rather than the traditional funeral. The guy lived in a place called Point Lookout Beach, which was the home of some fairly high ranking Mafiosos back in the day. Or so the locals claim. I get up there mostly for funerals in my wife's family -- her father and two uncles and an aunt, and now apparently her cousin.

Sunny and starting to warm up in the east. I got a nice run in this morning and now back to work.

Hope it's a happy Friday for all.

MAN, I AM God Blessed.....

I will state this again, only because I mean it and truly know and believe it.

Kings wish they could eat on special occasions how I eat regularly.... I had this for breakfast this morning. (Did not eat it all though... ;) )

This is rice cake made only with rice flour, no wheat flour. Made in the steamer... The topping and filling? Lima beans.... Such a light hint of sugar I didn't even have to mention it..

With coffee, just................... 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍 😍

Heavenly... (I sure wish I could share...)

That is a regular supper plate... Cut it in wedges like a pie... I had two good pieces....
