77.4°F to top out in the mid 80's. We got a good rain last night and ended up the day with .69 inches. My prayers were answered and the two patches of new sod appreciates the rain.

I am waiting for the chair lift guys to show up to install the lift on the stairs. Any charitable donations will be appreciated. Actually it should be chair itable donations!

Sir,

I'd do anything in the world for you but my Ole charity contributions lately have taken a serious hit... My kids all have good jobs and all but it is the "domore" things that are whipping My Darling and me....

Amazing what I see anyone trying to do now-a-days...

I am just trying to get figured out our exact income for when My Darling and I retire, of course My Darling never will retire, she has me. ;)

Went fishing this morning with temps in the low 70's and light wind. Had quite a few hits with 7 hooked and 5 landed so... much better than the last 2 times out. Biggest was around 3lbs. Going to try and go again on Sunday.

Enjoy your day folks and God Bless.

@warrior-cat

A man with two buckets of fish was leaving beach in Boca tonight and was stopped by FWC. The Officer asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"
The man replied , "No, sir. These are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?!" the officer replied.
"Yes, sir. Every night I take these fish down to this beach and let them swim around for about a half-hour, When I whistle, they all come back, jump back into my buckets, and I take 'em home. We do this every night."
"That's a bunch of NorthEasterner Bullshit” said the officer. "Fish can't do that!"
"No, really! says the man. "Here, I'll show you." And he releases the fish in the ocean.
"Well, I've GOT to see this!" he replied.
The 2 men stood and waited. After several minutes, the officer turned to the man and said, "Well?"
"Well, what?" the man asked.
"When are you going to call them back?" the officer huffs.
"Call who back?" the man asked.
"The FISH."
"What fish?"

Good morning from Reykjavik, Iceland. Currently 51°F, overcast with spotty showers. Today's high expected around 55°F. Weather much more dreary down here than up in Akureyi.

Went grocery shopping last night. Purchased bread, lamb slices, liver wurst, 1 lb red seedless grapes, blueberries, two bags of pastries, two croissants and potato salad. Total: $26.53. Not bad. Made a lamb sandwich with Icelandic potato salad. Since average small meal around town costs > $30, I consider it a very good deal.

Heading out to Sifra fissure later today.

Wishing y'all a good one.

Good morning folks. Sitting on a plane bound for Kansas City to see daughter and grandkids. Air travel today —not fun. A long morning of hassles already. But looking forward to the visit.

I’m stuck on the back of this plane and I swear the cooling system is bringing diesel fuel into my face. Ah well. If this crate doesn’t go diwn, I’ll check in later.

Reminds me of a story. Bob Gibson and Curt Flood were black baseball players at a time when race was somewhat of a problem. They both loved Stan Musial, but they made comments that Stan thought it was a perfect world. The team was flying back to St Louis and the plane began to have problems. Everyone on the plane was scared except Stan. He said if the plane crashed, the headline would read, Cardinal plane crashes-Musial only survivor.

Man,

95 today. This morning I contemplated wearing my long handles. I talked myself into it. Sure glad I did or I'd have been miserable. So very cold in my DC office....

The BB was here when I got home. We had a fine time playing until he threw an old hard headed doll at me. (Dumping that old doll. It was past throwing away.) Felt like I was in a fight back in high school..... About broke his heart as he was crying and got me crying due to him. He stopped quick though, as I told him Papa always jack's your jaw and you got me back is all... I had to change the band aid a couple times because it kept soaking through...

He's a good boy and didn't throw it hard. Glad it was me and not him or the other LBBB...

Good morning from Kansas City. Not as exotic as Iceland but enjoying the grandkids. My daughter and her husband have a really nice house in the suburb of Overland Park. We went to a terrific Italian restaurant last night where the highlight was a guy coming to the table, making fresh mozzarella out of cheese curds, salt and steaming water, then putting it over these incredible tomatoes he sliced up that were the size of softballs and had a really rich, lush flavor. The names of the tomato varieties were Purple Cherokee and Pineapple.

Heading out to see the sites soon. We’re going to hit a steamboat museum I hear is sort of quirky, then maybe the Negro League Baseball museum. We’ve done the amazing WW1 museum on previous visits.

Have a good day folks.

I think Kansas City is a neat place. The statues and wall up creeks are special. Hallmark puts its mark on Kansas City. Plus I loved Harry Truman and I love the statue of Sir Winston and Lady Churchill, plus another statue of Sir Winston in Fulton, MO where he gave the iron curtain speech.

Good morning from Reykjavik Iceland. Currently 55°F and light rain.

Plan on leaving for bus station in a few hours. May drop by Sbarro's for some quick eats.

Wishing y'all a fine Saturday.

Fermented shark & Brennivín shot. Brennivín: "Distilled from fermented grain mash and then combined with Iceland's very soft, high-pH water, and flavored only with caraway. A clear, savory, herbal spirit, the taste is often described as having notes of fresh rye bread". Not bad.

Good morning all,

Went to bed early up late. (Seriously needed that.) Going to make a pan of biscuits and fry some eggs. May throw a couple pieces of meat in the pan too, washed down with coffee.... I am thankful.

My Darling, the BB and I hit our pool together yesterday. We had it all alone. Had a fine time....

Working on my garage again today. Enjoy your days...

Good morning folks. Enjoying the chaos of young grandkids —as long as it’s for a limited time. Nothing will prove an aging man’s limitations like trying to keep up with a 3-year/old boy.

We’re off to a b-day party. Have a great day folks.

Be thankful MdW...

They are truly a blessing and the true love of a child is Christ-like.... The BB and LBBB are close regularly. My other four now FaceTime regularly... It DO take up a lot of time though.....-Weeeellll.....-R. Cogburn...

More safe travels Austin. I have really enjoyed the photos you shared. Maybe there are more.

Bad about the President. The left win media's hate that has been spewed out the last 8 years is starting to catch up. There are many folks that can't filter out the evil from rhetoric. The perp was a 20 year old! Geeze.

Good morning from the KC airport. A whirlwind visit to see the grandkids and Daughter/SIL. We squeezed in a lot. Along with b-day parties and soccer games, went to the Harry Truman library, a cool, eccentric museum built around the excavation of a nearly intact steamboat that sank near here in 1856, the Arabia, a visit to the Union Station train exhibitions and a quick return visit to the WW1 museum, which is amazing for those who have an interest in military history. Really elite.

Hoping for a hassle free trip back to DC Reagan.

Good afternoon all,

Have to hit it hard tomorrow but relaxing a bit the last couple days though I have hit my garage hard, ridding us of junk for space. Still much to do... I guess the kids are coming over to eat though so i won't do much today. (Do have to haul some dirt later for My Darling.) She is kicking the kids out early after they eat to do just that... ;)

The BB is behind me playing in our office. he's a good boy even though he jacked my jaw a few days ago... ;) (Just a dab of a scab left.)

My Darling is cooking what I call "Cow Rice" It is a Cantonese type sauce with a turmeric type spice. (With beef, potato's, carrots, onion's, in the sauce, served over rice.)

Have a peaceful and enjoyable afternoon...
