Good morning folks.
Prayers for all those who have sacrificed for our beloved country. We’ll never be completely worthy of the sacrifice but we can try to live in a way that honors their memory.
Finishing up a long walk. It was lovely - sunny and cool when I headed out. It’s growing muggy and overcast now. We’ll get some rainy n today I’d imagine.
Grateful not to be at work today. Hope it is a good day for all of you.

Yeah, we got hit hard down here in Forge Ridge/Ewing VA/Middlesboro yesterday. Luckily, no injuries or property loss. 2 tornado touchdown reports. Sorry to hear.
Power flicker as I typed last post. Lost connectivity for 5 minutes.
Scary stuff. My niece in St. Louis said a funnel cloud went directly over her house. They camped out in the basement for a few hours. The kids were understandably scared.

Good afternoon folks, busy day today for me, went fishing this morning and cut grass as soon as I got home. Finished up just a while ago. Had to get it done as the weather report has rain in the forecast for the next 7-10 days possible.
Fishing report: Had several strikes, hooked 7 landed 3. Large Mouth Bass 4- Warrior-Cat 2 as one of my lands was a 3-pound catfish.

Good morning folks. Back to work in the city.
Beautiful, absolutely clear blue-skies day. Cool so far. I’m looking up through the big window of a subway car and the moon, about three-quarters of it, is clear as one of those Apollo photographs despite the fact that the sun is high enough that it is fully as bright as noon.
Hope everyone had a nice three-day weekend. Enjoy the day.

Good morning all,

Take care...

Morning Legionnaires!
68° and storming. Started about 0230 this morning and been doing so off and on since. Looking at radar and it is supposed to clear shortly. Did not get to walk monster yesterday as I left early for fishing, and it was too hot by the time I got back. Will go shortly once the storms breaks.
Going to Norman Ok this afternoon to a consultation with my oral surgeon for the second round of implants on the upper left side this time. Had two implants with a three-tooth bridge implanted on the upper right side last time and then pulled three from the upper left in November to let them heal to start the process again.
Suppose to play ball tonight but, more storms possible will probably cancel them.
Well, it is a Monday/Tuesday with respect to work so...get at it folks, be safe out there, and God Bless.
I lost internet for about 14 hours Monday; however, we never lost power. I had to use my phone hot spot to watch my streaming TV. I had no damage but my next door neighbor lost one tree.
It is a wonderful weather day today.

For all here that love baseball, the umpire Angel Hernandez b-tch ass retiring is great for the sport. Games he was umpire, especially behind the plate were pathetic.
Some are saying it was a forced retirement and they bought out his contract to avoid a lawsuit.
Afternoon D, well we finally got our power back on this morning, went out at 9:47 Sunday night, back on at 10:30. We spent Sunday morning in the basement of our church, then back to the church for the second round Sunday evening, we left when the all clear was given about 10. One tornado went north and one went south of us, both were about15 miles from us. God is great, we had no damage at all, spent most of this afternoon keeping our grandsons bust picking up our neighbors limbs a cutting up part of s tree for them.
Whew, a busy day.
I am reminded why I stayed away from rafters.. Too many killer posters. Post like they are killers... I seem to always forget how the internet strengthens ones muscles...

Good morning from Anneta, KY. Currently 58°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 74°F
Cuz lost power for roughly 26 hours. High winds sent a tree through a neighbor's roof into his kitchen and living room. What a mess.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.

63° this morning with almost no wind (unusual for here). Today's high to be in the low 80's.
Had one softball game last night as the second one was cancelled due to rain. We won by run rule (Now 11-1). Don't remember what the score was. I did not play the first game as we had 14 players last night and I was scheduled to pitch the second one so...no numbers for me.
Had the consultation with the oral surgeon in Norman OK yesterday and will have the implants done on Monday at 0800hrs. Will not be able to play in next Tuesday's games.
Well, you grinders know the deal, the hump part of this week is around mid-night tonight since most if not all had Monday off.
Stay safe out there and God Bless.
Hey folks. Busy day at work so I'll just say hello, wish everyone well and check in later.
Let's hope today is a good news day for the Men's basketball team. Pope needs a little more offensive firepower in the mix or he could get off to a bad start here, and we all know how fickle the fan base can be if that happens. I'd love to see him succeed. I think he could really heal the culture, but it is all meaningless without a very high level of success.

Hello all,
In an intense environment but that is a good thing. More later, have a great day....

I survived a 15 mile hike (my longest) in the mountains today. In June I will try an 18 miler in even more hilly/rougher terrain. I think I can make it. Hopefully my feet will too.
😉 Shoot, I did over 5 miles in one building today...... It was shaped like The Pentagon.....
It's amazing how many steps a person would get if they just got off their rear end and move around in their daily life. I have gone over 40,000 today....about 33,000 on the hike.
Some could but won't, some can't but would....
After a tornado destroyed our post office, they moved it to a mini mall area with unlimited parking. I went by Tuesday. There was two people parked right by the front door in a no parking area. Both were 50 or so and healthy looking. I am 77 with a bad leg and parked 40 yards away in the regular parking lot. My doctor offered me a parking permit, but I told him others needed to park close more than I do.
I'm kind of worried though. The big 3 in the bullpen are being overworked. Helsey leads the league in saves, but his last 3 were struggles. They need some rest the bullpen wins. Offense is picking up. They say Jim Edmonds has been working with Goldy and he is starting to hit the ball hard. If he and Arenado pick up, my confidence will grow a little.
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not confident they will end up being really good. Just happy and shocked how quickly they went from last place and like ten games under to a .500 team.
I mean this in a most endearing way.
I did not think it would really last. Reds started strong last year and finished as they have for many years now, sucking wind.

Good morning from Nolin Lake near Anneta, KY. Currently 54°F and clear. Expecting 77°F for our high.
I also hiked yesterday training up for upcoming Iceland trip. 2.3 miles in 46 minutes on these back roads dodging traffic. 15% grade in some places leading from lake to main road. Rested. Hiked back. Peripheral Neuropathy remains a constant challenge for me since cancer began. Hike from harbor to Arctic Circle on Island of Grimsey is 3.7 km or 2.2 miles.
Enjoying another vacation. Great day to be alive.
Wishing y'all a good one.

Good morning all,
Back at it in the same place. Was kind of looking for the basement in the Alamo but darn, this place has one.....
"Only" have to go to the DC VA tomorrow early, then I'm finished for a couple days driving in this rat raced swamp.
I am thankful... Have a day you'll remember in a good way.

I like Masyn Winn and the Gorman kid can be special if he gets a better idea of what to swing at.
Kentucky counties represented at the Russellville convention (Kentucky secession vote sat up by a confederate government). 68 out of 114 counties (a majority) sent delegates. The state seceded from the union in December 1861. And is represented on the confederate flag as the 13th star or state. A fact very rarely reported.
Good morning folks.
Been at work for 90 minutes already. I find myself getting in earlier and earlier to stay on top of things.
Beautiful day in the east. Went for a walk right after getting up. It was cool and clear and the sky was dazzling as the sun rose.
Not much else happening right now. I'm disappointed the kid Pope was targeting Jaxson Robinson decided to stay in the draft -- and likely go undrafted -- rather than come to Kentucky. There is only one thing that motivates any of these kids today, and it's not the legacy and status of Kentucky's historic program. You either have to convince kids you are their very best option to get to that NBA money fast - which was Calipari's schtick - or pay them up front through the NIL at a level that surpasses rivals. I like Pope, but to potential recruits he's just another guy who has never put anyone in the NBA so why trust your future to him? It may be a while before Kentucky figures out a formula to overcome that reality.
Ah well. It's a long way to next season and things can change. Have a god day folks.

I see conflicting statements about Robinson. No announcement but is it a done deal he stayed in the draft?
Wow! Never so happy to be wrong, and I've had lots of practice. I was going off the crying and handwringing on Rafters, always a bad idea.
I was kind of just hoping....
Good morning and Happy Friday from Nolin Lake near Anneta, KY. Currently 55°F and clear. Expecting 74°F for today's high.
Leaving in roughly 90 minutes for SE KY. Flight departs at 9:15 pm tonight from Knoxville. May check in later.
Y'all behave.

Good morning all,
At the DC VA... Had the "little" blood drawn. Getting ready to drop a pint.
Drove to DC four days this week. Hope that never happens again. I am thankful but DC traffic is special.
Just 26 miles but one day took almost two hours to get home.
Have a great day. My day off.... Got to work around the house when I get home and get My Darling's inspection on her car done.... Today!
