Good morning folks.
My wife and daughter got out of here at 5am for a flight to Montreal. Glad they are getting a break —though actually, my wife just got back from a trip to see friends in Raleigh on Monday and my daughter just got back from a long trip to Peru on Friday.
You guys ever see those coffee mugs they have at Starbucks in various cities? My wife and daughter are committed collectors and we must have one of America's bigger collections —London, Paris, Istanbul, Peru, Mexico City, Barbados, Rome, SF, NYC, KC, Austin, Kentucky…maybe 50 of the things taking up an entire cabinet. Ah well, it’s a relatively cheap way to remember good times together for them.
As for me —heading into work. Hope you all have a great day.

They restored the house. It took them around two years and no telling how much money. The good part is that they did this about 25 years ago and now it may have cost three times more.
It is 68°F on our way to 90°. Even though it may be warm I still may fix a pot of New England Chowder. I love that stuff and I have some potatoes that need to be used.
The shrub area of my house looks a lot better. The guy worked for nearly 4 hours and it is basically bending over the whole time. I can't do stuff like that any more.
Well it looks like the law in narrowing down where @AustinTXCat lives, or at the least they are within three miles of him!!!
edit: SHRUB area not SCRUB!

I'm nearly there myself, Bert. 1.5 hours of hard yard work & my clothes are entirely wet with sweat & I need a 2 hours nap.
Hot days ahead. Batten down the hatches. Have not fished in 2 weeks. Starting to go stir crazy.
Good morning from ATX. May have eaten some contaminated food last night. Both wife and I are nauseated. Possibly take a sick day.
Happy Friday, y'all.
Happy Friday, y'all.
Good morning folks. Cool and clear in the east. Glad it is Friday.
Woke up way too early to what I first thought was a baby screaming -- in our empty house -- then decided might be an animal howling as a predator attacked it outside, though with the house tight and the AC running I couldn't decide the sound was even outside. It went on for a while, then I guess I drifted back to sleep. I've heard rabbits shriek when caught by an owl, and it might have been something like that. I'm all alone in the house, so the other possibilities are pretty far out there.
My son finished his week working with Fish and Wildlife inspectors at the airport in Dallas. Pretty amazing the stuff that comes through there in a week -- he sent me one photo of a crate with four full-sized stuffed zebras, a row of baboon heads and other assorted animal parts -- all legal, with a license purchased.
When he was leaving, the chief inspector who had taken a liking to him gave him a "challenge coin." These have spread outside the military, apparently. He was proud because as a boy he'd always been interested in mine, which I kept in a little box I'd let him rummage through.
The fact that I have a collection may piss off some of you former service members. I always felt a bit guilty when CSMs or battalion or brigade commanders would give me a coin after I wrote good things about their units, or just endured a combat deployment with them. I didn't feel worthy, but to turn it down would have been a bigger insult, so I always thanked them sincerely. And I do really value the memories.
Some of you folks must have some nice ones.
Back to work. Have a good day.

I can't see why it would piss off anybody. You volunteered to do a job when you didn't have to.
No, I could see no reason why anyone would be pissed off about it. My wife has a few as do many other military contractors and civil service who work with the military. I have quite a few, but don't know the exact amount as I am not really sure where all of them are.
Good late morning all,
I hope things are going well for you...
Speaking of challenge coins, my youngest daughter who is a nurse was given this by one of her patients husbands who specifically came back to find my daughter a few weeks after she took care of this persons wife.
She really likes it and was impressed he'd come back after that long to give this to her...
Thought I'd share it since I had it on my desk and it was brought up.
Have a fine day all and not....... Larry Fine... (Maybe)

Morning Legionnaires!
It is 80° right now with light winds. Today's high to be around 107° with more of the same tomorrow. Walking the monster is a shorter trek these days as she gets tired (hotter) faster. I get her out before the sun comes up to help but...
Must get yard work done today or tomorrow so...☀️ 😥. May wait until evening today as some clouds are supposed to roll in around 7pm.
Not much else going on so you folks kick back and enjoy the weekend and God Bless.

Good morning folks.
Cloudy and mild in the east. Good weather for my Saturday run.
Taking it easy to today. My family is scattered to the four corners of the continent -- older daughter in Syoming, younger daughter in Montreal and son in Dallas. ITs a great era to be able to text them all at the same time and feel a lot closer than in previous times.
Hope you all have a good day.

Last night on friends and his wife’s houseboat on Lake Cumberland. Will be last time this year.
I’m on the left.
That's a fast houseboat. Dang.
Good morning folks.
Cool morning in the east. Got really hot for awhile yesterday then we had a thundetstorm that broke the heat.
Heading out for a little hike, and to watch the sun rise. Hope it is a good day for all.

Happy Sunday. It is a warm 68.7°F but we are supposed to on get to 82° and be cloudy. Friday and Saturday we had thunder storms that gave me .43" and .41". I am happy for my yards sake and the farmers. This may be a record yield around here as we have had really good rain and lots of sunshine to go with it.
Daughter and son in law in this weekend so I have been busy. Fixed a bunch of pork tenderloin, corn on the cob, green beans etc. yesterday and had New England Clam Chowder Friday night. Those of two of the few things that I normally cook. However, I am expert at cleaning dishes!
@Catfan in Tn. looks like you were having a good time.

Some outside work yesterday. Got to hot and passed out. Face planted in the gravel. Five stiches in the upper lip. Getting old sucks, but I guess it is better than the alternative.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and clear. Excessive heat warning in effect. We may hit 102°F for today's high.
- Worked with daughter yesterday on cybersecurity course offered by Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX). After she completes basic courses, we'll encourage her toward Google Support and eventually A+/Security+.
- Must reserve seats for soccer game on October 24 and football on November 23. Make it happen today.
- Headed out for a hike in a few.
@Catfan in Tn. : Looking good, sir. Keep on, keeping on.
Wishing y'all a peaceful Sunday.

Hello all,
My Darling and I just got back home about an hour ago and are readying to hit the hay. We are whipped and in pain, but thankful.
My Darlings birthday today. (67 but looks like she just turned 40.) Seriously... Yeah, I am thankful again. Can cook out of this world and is a looker too. I know God loves me...
We had fun. Disappointed with the belt fish catch. Only five or six. My Darling filled a cooler with Blue Crab though. The game Warden stopped by and was checking coolers. I'd say 50-70 people were fishing. Got to our cooler...... Dayum was his word. Hadn't caught any fish at that time. I gigged him some. (In a friendly way.) Easy to do when you're compliant.
Have a fine day....

Thanks. Always have a great time. He and I have been friends for 61 years. Looking forward to coming back next year and doing this all over again.
Whoa Sir..., more gumption than I have now at 63. I walk fine and I'm thankful and do some swimming too but I never had legs. Did some of that in my early twenties and had no desire to water ski again. Had fun but the ole knees even then.
Saying that, did over 21,000 steps yesterday but the hip hurts. I am thankful....
God Bless you Sir....
Good Sunday Morning all.
Going to be another scorcher today with high's expected around 108°. Bert, send me some of those 80 plus degree weather days you are having. We need some relief.
The monster walk starts out while it is dark but does not last long as she gets hot quick.
Enjoy your Sunday folks and God Bless.

The KC Royals showing the Reds how it is done the last three days. Beating the Reds 8-1 Friday night, 13-1 last night and are leading 4-0 today. They are attacking the first pitch because the Reds pitchers try to throw strikes (a lot of fast balls) on the first pitch to get ahead in the count. KC is taking advantage of that.
Glad to hear you are winning the battle. I only have time to come in and try to catch up a little......keeping you in my thoughts.......sorry for the lateness.....Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and partly cloudy and humid. Excessive heat warning in effect. Today's high may reach 102°F.

Sir, I plan on being at the south end of the new Buccee's place in Smith's Grove at about 830-8:45 Monday morning to release the birds. I know it is early but if you are up..........maybe you will be my good luck charm for the season.......being an ex mayor I know you have all kinds of ceremonies that you perform......I am sure you have something about ole awf having a great racing season.... 😉 Seriously if you are up and about I am going to set my GPS bands for a 09:00 EST release. We took them to Munfordville yesterday and they flew down to Horse Cave before they came in......about 115 miles total flight in 1 hr 43 min.......first race is Aug. 31.......I have moved to a much larger club......besides stepping up my game........I'm trying to learn Spanish.............all of the other members besides my friend Jamie and myself are Cuban......I was a big fish in a small pond last season......new fish in lake this season.......
Needing to cut grass but temp still at 102° so I will wait a little longer. Do the back tonight and the front tomorrow morning. Got to 108° today and supposed to be that hot again tomorrow.
@AustinTXCat Thanks for the heads up on the information breech. Me and my wife were in there, so we went into the three credit sites mentioned in the message and froze our accounts. She found out her ex-husband who she divorced in the spring of 97 had opened one up using her name in 2010, 10 years after we were married, but there was no outstanding balance, so she put in a dispute to close it. We should be good now.
You know, I would like to take a few friends and find an office where some of these scumbags who are stealing peoples hard earned money work and just tear the place apart with them in it. It pisses me off just thinking about it.

My simple supper a couple nights ago..... Just a T-Bone steak and some rice... I am thankful...

@BertHiggingbotha.....I will be in a dark blue F-150 crew cab.......hope to see you....but if not maybe on the next trip.
Good morning folks. It is hot and humid in the east. Back from a sweaty run.
I'm working from home this morning, or trying to. Our VPN is not letting anyone into the system.
It was a quiet weekend alone. But I don't mind the solitude occasionally. My wife and daughter are back from Montreal today.
I hope it is an easy week for everyone, myself included. Couple more weeks we'll be talking football.

Be careful. As we get older we get more fragile each year.
@awf sorry buddy, not this time. I just got up. Shower is next.
I woke up to a cloudy 69°F a few minutes ago. We are supposed to get to 82°F for a high. @warrior-cat I don't know how to send it down south west of me. Dang.
My wife has an important doctors visit today so I will have to go with her. She has had vertigo and this is the fourth doctor to see, first the GP, then an Ear Nose Throat guy then MRI visit and now a neurologist. Hopefully they will find the loose screw.
You all have a great Monday.

Good late morning,
Back at it... Just so many things going on it is nearing ridiculous. Oh well, I am kicking so "Everything is good in da hood."...
Have a good day!
