MAN I dented the garage junk today. I am thankful!
Want to know how reliable Duke Energy power is? Been out over an hour now here in Villa Hills/ Crescent Springs. Oh well. Sun's down so not too hot. 🔥
Good morning from The Waverly Guest House in Inverness, Scotland. Currently 50°F with scattered showers. Quite a departure from 104°F at DFW this past Friday.
Leaving here around 9:15 am for bus stand. Riding bus back to Inverness Airport for flight up to Kirkwall. Hope to check out Orkney Islands this afternoon through Tuesday night.
Y'all take care.

Power just back on. At least off the coolest part of day. Turns out just our 37 houses street was affected. Had a blowout at top of street where utility moves underground from poles on highway.

Good morning all,
Setting outside my church drinking coffee. A little quiet anyway.
Watching a few head inside carrying instruments. We have a nice choir and orchestra.
You all have a blessed Lord's Day...

Good morning D-League. Weather still beautiful in the east. Knocked off a 5-mile run right after sun-up and it was actually cool.
Looking forward to a nice steak dinner tonight -- it is our 27th anniversary. I'll tell her truthfully tonight I'd do it all over again.
Hope it is a good day for all of you.

The question is would she do it all over again.

Good morning folks.
Monday is upon us. But it was a nice weekend. I had a perfectly cooked steak at a favorite restaurant last night, and some excellent key lime pie.
Back to work. This will be a challenging week for us, but a 3-day weekend is at the end of it.
I hope you are all doing well.

A week ago Sunday
And August 18, 1986 in our Houston, TX house:
It is a nice sunny 63.5°F on our way to a hot 93°F. @AustinTXCat and @warrior-cat weather is now up here. Plus the humidity is high.
You all enjoy your Monday.

98° for a high for us today, still a possibility of 100° as there seems to always be a degree or two difference in predicted high to actual when it happens. The weekend is supposed to bring about a 10° shift with some clouds and possible rain. Fishing weather in early morning as it will be in the high 60's to low 70's so...looking forward to fishing and football.
So today played in another duplicate bridge game at a club. Was talking to an opponent I've played against many times over many years. Young lady of about 83 I'd guess. Came to find out she was a nurse, signed up with the Navy in her junior year of college at UC. Navy paid for senior year in return for 2 years service. She retired after 28 years of service !! Her last assignment was the director of nursing at Camp Pendleton. I asked her her rank while guessing Commander. She said Captain!! I was blown away. Total admiration. Stationed at hospitals up & down US coasts and also at Okinawa & in Japan. I never had a clue before today.
And she's a good player to boot.

Good morning from West End Hotel in Kirkwall, Orkney. Currently 56°F and cloudy. Today's high may reach 65°F. Love this weather.
Must check out after breakfast at 9 am. Return to Kirkwall Travel Centre. Board bus for sight seeing tour. Dread carrying this luggage around, especially up-and-down couple flights stairs.
Sailing tonight. Y'all take care.

Good morning D-League.
Another beautiful day in the east - clear and cool.
Bert, thanks for sharing those photos. A lovely couple then and now. I’m happy for your good fortune.
Heading downtown. Hope you all have a good day.

I was expecting pictures of you all in return!
It is already 65.8°F on our way to 96°F. Wednesday 97°F; Thursday 99°F, Friday 94°F and Saturday 88°F.
It looks like old Bert is going to be inside.
@AustinTXCat you are hurting my feelings with those nice temps.
Well, since you asked Bert...Couldn't find anything more recent of just the two of us than last September's Silver Grove High School 50th class reunion...Below that is a more recent shot with our son...As you can see I only have one shirt.I was expecting pictures of you all in return!
Well, I wanted to share my success with my racing pigeons.......We flew a 110 mile race from Franklin KY on 08/24/24. My birds did me proud. (2hrs-16 min) I was 1st-9th, 11, 12, 15-18, 21 and 22-25 for 19 spots out of the top 25...I had 13/16 on the front page (top 10%). They are responding well to my training....I only started to train 3 weeks ago for a 8/31 race season.......then a week ago I decided to fly with another club and they started a week earlier........now to keep them in top form and kick some butt and let them know that I was in the game ,,,,, 😉 There is another club involved that we fly combine with.......I was 0.151 of a yard from winning the combine race also.....
Wife, daughter, and I summer of 2006.

Good morning folks.
I had a rare opportunity yesterday afternoon to, along with our editor-in-chief, interview via video phone hookup, Donald Trump. We’re talking with Kamala Harris Friday.
We do these interviews every four years and run a cover story on candidates’ views, so this is the third time with Trump.
By agreement with the candidates what they say is close held until October 1, so I can’t share any of that. I will say I wish everybody could experience Trump in that setting. He’s charming, articulate, lucid, and polite. We limit the interviews to direct responses to issues important to people over 50, so it focuses things. I’ll post what he said 10/1 if anyone is interested.
Heading back to DC on the train. I hope it’s a good day for all.

Good morning from Peerie's Cafe in Lerwick, Shetland. Currently 57°F and cloudy.
Water got a little choppy around 5 am on the ferry. Old cast iron stomach held despite early seasickness symptoms. Breakfast on the ship was superb.
Wishing y'all a great day.

Heading to Scalloway later this morning for sightseeing.

Good morning folks.
A hot day in the east. We had the AC go down a couple days ago, and my wife's reaction was roughly what mine would be if I were on a jet plane that lost a wing at 30,000 feet.
Luckily the guy could come out and fix it yesterday. Unluckily it was a "capacitor" and he charged me $423 for parts and labor. Was it really a capacitor? Who knows. He could have told me it was the "Frammleblaster" and I'd have no way to dispute him. Bottom line, I got home and the house was cold enough to hang meat and my wife was all smiles. Can you pay too much for that?
Hope you guys have a good day.

Good late morning. It is 87.4°F here on our way to 98°F. It may crack a hundred.
@MdWIldcat55 I met Donald Trump in 1999 after playing his course. He is a very friendly and humble man to be worth what he is. Charles Koch paid for the golf and dinner. Two billionaires in one day.
@AustinTXCat pictures are required.

My house in Summerville had that issue a couple years ago with the other tenants I had. I had the rent so right for them that he charged me for the part. ($60.00) and did the labor. On to now though, they are gone and I have a couple "lawyers" renting from me. My house built in 2015, I put a complete new heat and A/C system in, the year previous I replaced the dishwasher, that year too a garbage disposal and just yesterday I okayed replacing the "springs" in my garage door that set me back $495.00. Oh I wish they offered to buy it. Would take them extra dough for sure....
