Sorry. I'm a blockhead!
Went to Rattler pond at Sill this morning and with all of the rain lately it is up and murky. Had several strikes with 3 hooked but only one landed. So, score is:
Large Mouth Bass 2 - Warrior-Cat 1. In kind of a slump lately.
Ran into another guy out there in a bass buggy (I was wading). He said he had hooked in to 4 and only landed 1. He said we needed to talk to sportsman services on post and tell them that the bass were not cooperating.

Good morning folks. My legs are weary ffrom pushing them over the last three days, building back my running stamina and also hiking in the hills.
I may take it easy today. Wife still in NYC so maybe I'll hit a country style roadside restaurant I like a lot more than her for supper tonight.
Lovely weather in the east. I hope you all are having a nice day.

73° this morning with cloudy skies and a possibility of rain. If no rain, I will have coed softball games this afternoon.
Between fishing half the day yesterday and yard work yesterday, I was bushed last night and conked out early. Got a good workout and monster walk this morning any way since I will not be able to work out for at least few days after tomorrow's oral surgery. Last time they said no exertion for at least 3-5 days after. Eating will be difficult too.
Enjoy you Sunday folks and God Bless.
It is 75.5°F on overcast. Second straight day of drizzle. We have .25" of rain. I need it for the two patches of sod put in last week.
You all have a good Sunday.

Edit: Now the sun is shining full blast.
No games for me as it is pouring down rain in Lawton and headed our way. Just as I started typing this the rain started falling. Not heavy yet but, the heavy stuff looks to be headed this way.
Good afternoon all,
Prayer is powerful. (Thanks My Darling is getting around but she hurts different than she ever has. She is talking it careful and easy. I think her and my oldest girl along with my two grandchildren are heading to the pool about 400 feet from us (In our subdivision) (Not overrun by kids as it is a 55 and over community and you must have a fob AND we have a few Karen's around that check-up on people they don't know in our pool or they make them call the home-owner who should be in attendance or throw them out.) in a few minutes...
I may have some free time in a few minutes...

Went in search of some panfish this weekend. Made a mistake and didn't take crickets as the lake we fish I've done better with wax worms for years there. Well, they were hitting the crickets something fierce. The ones I caught were nice and big but my boat partner smoked me by the basket score of 18-8. Ugh! I won't make that mistake again. Rained all morning yesterday but the rain hitting the tarp over the tent was pure bliss.
67° this morning with no wind. Guess where I am going this morning.
Will fish for a few hours as the temp will warm up quick. Plan on cutting grass later this afternoon (maybe) as the next bunch of days has rain forecasted.
Leaving shortly so you folks have a great day and God Bless.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and cloudy. Excessive heat warning in effect. Today's high estimated around 94°F.
Cats beat Sycamores last night, 5-0. Win Lexington Regional. Moving on to Super Regional play. Stayed up way past my bedtime watching the game.
Monday, Monday....
Wishing y'all a great start to your week.

70° this morning with no wind. Low 90's expected for a high. A little muggy out right now since we have had so much rain lately.
Leaving here in just over an hour from now headed for Norman and oral surgery. Takes about an hour to get there from here. No coffee or anything this morning. Will be eating light and softer foods for the next few days. It helps with my weight loss plan.
It's Monday again folks so, stay safe out there and God Bless.
Good morning folks. Back from a muggy walk and digging into work -- another Monday for those of us who can't kick the work habit.
We booked some plane tickets to go to Kansas City in about a month to see my grandkids. So, something to look forward to. And I may defy my father's request to leave him alone with his grief for a while and take a trip to Kentucky mid-month. I think once I'm there he'll be glad to see me, after a bit more time has passed.
Nothing much else to report after a quiet weekend. My wife is back from NYC today and I'm looking forward to having her back.

Good late morning all,
Hopping, poking, prodding, pecking... Anything to keep things engaged. Had some good food. My Darling is better than she was but still having issues, I am working to get those issues alleviated as much as possible. More to follow but I do wish you all a great day!

A long walk... tedious at best...
Spent a little more time in surgery this morning than anticipated. Oral surgeon explained to my wife that he had to build more bone than expected with cadaver bone graphs. Did not get an implant put in because not enough bone to hold. Said graph will be enough once healed so...I go back later to have the implant put in in about 3 or so months. Feeling pretty good tonight as the hydrocodone pain relievers work pretty good. Probably take one more before bed to last through the night.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and cloudy. Excessive heat warning in effect. Today's high expected around 97°F.
Not much new this morning. Wife finally walking with me some afternoons. She quit smoking last August.
Wishing y'all a great day.

70° this morning with moderate winds. Mid 80's expected for highs with winds picking up a bit. Rain for this afternoon a possibility canceling softball for tonight. Was not going anyway unless they don't have enough. Post operative instructions says no exertion. If I have to go I will catch and nothing else other than bat. Will jog to first if I get a hit. We have pinch runners in our league once on first.
Not much planned today except walking the monster. She did not get her walk yesterday since we left for Norman early. She will be my only exercise today as the couch potato position will be observed.
I wonder, @AustinTXCat Is there a couch potato day?
Well folks, it is take it to em Tuesday (I made that up) so, go get em!
God Bless.

Did Victor mess you up again? Recall for new body parts?
Good morning folks. Heading into DC with the sun in my eyes through the subway window. Long days right now. It was light when I headed out soon after 530…
Busy times at work.
I talked to my son last night. He’s coming back east for the July 4 long weekend, so that was good news. He’s spending a lot of the time with a girlfriend at the Delaware beaches but we’ll have dinner when he gets to town and a cookout on his way back to Texas. The week after that we’re taking a trip to Kansas City to see my older daughter and my two grandkids. So, some good times ahead.
I hope you all have a good day.

I have a hernia and it's "Wictor"... My hernia is so small I could choose to not do anything. (That was my choice for now.) If it gets bigger then.... The surgeon stated it may never get bigger so...
I have a liver ultrasound in July he suggested I get an ultrasound of MY hernia while there too, to ensure it is a hernia. I just asked that doctor if she could add that to the order. I sure hope so as the surgeon stated it should not even take them another minute to do it... I can only hope...
Getting a head transplant soon and wanted the stitches to heal on that by July... Me and Eyegor, we be mates...
Sad thing though.... Gotta head to DC tomorrow... Today was that day and I don't even think of asking if I can skip this weeks trek....

Good morning from ATX. Currently 81°F and cloudy. Excessive heat warning in effect. High today expected around 94°F.
Chemo this morning. Hopefully return home around 1 pm.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Good morning folks. Overcast in the east, and so humid walking around in it is like walking in dry rain - it’s not raining but you can feel how wet the air is. Welcome to summer in Washington.
I hope the chemo goes as well as it can go Austin.
I’m close to breaking the back of a work monster I’ve been grappling with for a couple weeks, but headed on early so it doesn’t get back off the deck.
Have a good day folks.

Good morning all,
In the great metropolis of DC today.
Hope all goes well ATXC.
In the office with very few feet walking around this huge building. At least within my ear shot....
The boss liked that I came in without coaxing as my regular day in the office was yesterday.
Do the right thing....
My high level lead even told me I can contact her more than I am....
"Quirt Evans is a mighty cautious citizen."
Catch that one ...
Have a day today that pleases you ......

Have a great day, I will be sitting here.... I am thankful...

Remembering D-Day and those who gave “their last full measure of devotion” to quote a President about another, earlier battle of great consequence.
A while back I visited Bedford, Virginia, a tiny mountain town. By a sad quirk of fate almost all the men from that town had been in a national guard unit that had been absorbed into the 29th Division -and they ended up in the worst spot on Omaha Beach. Twenty men killed in a matter of minutes from one tiny town of a couple thousand people.
As a military history buff, I’m reading a new British analysis of Operation Bagration, the massive Soviet assault timed to begin around the same time as D-Day that engaged the Germans from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. As terrible as the fighting was from D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge six months later, the truth is 80 percent of the Germans killed in 1944 were killed in the east by the Soviet Army. It was a bad time to be a young German.
Pulling into my subway station. You guys have a good day.

On D-Day's 80th anniversary I thought some of you vets might be interested in the way old units are kept alive in today's army.
I was embedded with the 299th Combat Engineers in March, 2003. Their original mission was to be the first unit into Iraq from Turkey in the north, and the seize and hold the oil fields at Irbil and Kirkuk. Then the Turkish parliament vetoed that, so they went in from Kuwait with the rest of the invasion force, and were part of the task force that seized the Republican Guard bases at Taji and Balad (which became Camp Anaconda.) Not exactly D-Day, but interesting times.
Later, the battalion C.O. sent me this t-shirt because he felt I'd treated them fairly. They still celebrate being the first unit to go into Omaha to clear beach obstructions ahead of the invasion force on D-Day.

Thanks for the insights.
The shirt reminded me of the time I was with USAREC. (11 or 12 years.) I worked for several Battalions, Brigades, and the HQ. I always had recruiting giveaways and I sure did. I enjoyed that part of it when seeing youngsters (Teenagers and younger.) That was just an enjoyable part of the job.
Many years after that I still relied on the recruiters to send and provide there tools of the trade. I actually think I swayed a couple doctors and nurses to join the Army during that time. (had a couple attorneys inquire but I hardly will step where I know an attorney steps...
) I don't hate them but I keep my distance... Dealing with one now... Geez..As you know the attorney capital of the world is in DC... Litigators galore... Sounds like a 007 movie...
The USSR and the Nazi's did not care about losses.
The USSR used penial battalions to clear mine fields and wasted men like they were useless vermin.
The Nazi's threw troops into battles that would be impossible to win, especially late into the war.
At Stalingrad 91,000 Germans surrendered to the Soviets. 86,000 of the 91,000 were killed.
Late in the war one of my uncles' company, in western Germany, were understrength and came upon a large group of Germans and thought that they had met their doom, but the Germans surrendered. The Germans were starving and looking for a way out. Surrendering to the Russians would be near certain death, the Americans and English and Canadians would treat them well.
