I'm up for the long haul. Pouring another bourbon.
We had almost an inch of rain tonight. Some lightning too. Lexington must have had it worse.
New time estimate. 10 PM. Man there must be some bad weather in Lexington.
Fire going, was planning on listening to game, still hoping there will be one.
They may cancel.
Darn. Certainly hope not.
New kick-off time 10:05.
You ought to be in a deer stand at 4 in the morning and have a screech owl let out a scream!!! That's after watching a horror flick the night before, the deer can smell you a mile away!!!!
Maybe a sign of things to come? Love a defense that gets takeaways.
Good morning from Inverness, Scotland. According to my latest score, Cats lead 31-0.
5:07 am over here.
GBB!

Wow. Another weather delay . I'm gonna boil some water for hot tea. Shower in a few. Scheduled to look for Nessie around 9 am. Currently 41°F over here. Sun already started to rise.
Go Big Blue!
Go Big Blue!
Games over and will not resume. Cats with the win.
Good Sunday morning everyone
First game of the year and I elected to not even start watching since I knew I wouldn't make it til the end. Seemed like a good game from what I read and the highlights I saw. Did Walker get to play? I don't think I saw his name listed with any tackles.
Church this morning and then a quick trip to my hometown for a surprise 80th for Mom. Driving back tonight.....7 hrs on the road for a couple of hours with family.
I hope everyone has a great day and enjoy your Labor Day tomorrow.

Got to watch the start and stayed up until the next weather delay. Went to bed not knowing the final score until just now. Going fishing this morning in about an hour so, had to get some sleep in. First fishing trip in over 3 weeks.
You folks enjoy your mornings and God Bless.

SEC is 13-2 in week #1 with LSU playing USC tonight. Outscored their opponents 713-129. Unfortunately the 2 losses were marquee games. Maybe LSU will fare better tonight.
Hey folks, I hope Sunday is going along well. Its sunny and mild in the east. I'm taking it easy before a late lunch with my inlaws, daughter and her boyfriend. My wife is still in NYC helping her ailing aunt.
The Cats appeared to get through the first game with a competent performance. And no one got incinerated by lightning, so the NCAA has no complaints.
The interview with Kamala Harris eventually came off yesterday. I think it is safe to say no minds will be changed.
Glad to have a Sunday not shadowed by the dread of Monday. I hope you all have a good day.

With a firearm, we know you can be a 1/4 mile away & kill. You have to physically touch someone to do so with hands. So I can't see the attempt possibility. Drunk/on drugs? OK. I'd say a crazed lib with no chance of impacting Trump. I just hate nutzo claims.
Hello all,
Great to see the win...
My Darling and I are heading to Kiptopeke Park again tomorrow morning around 3AM and I have to be in DC Tuesday but should be a good time. My Darling and I rarely get time alone so we are hitting the trail.
I will try taking pics this time... Going for Anchovy, Crab, Croaker, and Ribbon Fish (Belt or Cutlass fish too. Same type just different names.) Will have two coolers but will need to stop by 7PM to head home.
Caught 55 or so crab the last trip but didn't have an anchovy net but we do now. My Darling does wonders with those for seasoning. The Croaker and Ribbon fish I have a better way planned to catch those... We shall see..

Headed out to symphony pops concert this evening in Ft. Thomas. Last of the season. Needs to be over before the big Cincy fireworks program on the river. Md, did you ever make it to the WEBN Fireworks on the river? Or noise too much like work?
Fishing report: Got out to Rattler Pond (Ft. Sill) at 0700 this morning (bank fishing this time) and stayed for 4 hours. Many strikes and bumps with 8 hooked and 7 landed. 2 were under a pound while the other 5 were between 2 to 3 pounds each. Good morning of fishing. Cloud cover kept it cool enough to enjoy the experience more comfortably. Used a softer stick worm lure which allowed the buried hook (weedless rig) to come out easier and hook them when bit by the fish. Used chartreuse colored lures this morning along with my standard red/black stick worm but they only bit the chartreuse lure.
Score: WarriorCat 7 - Large Mouth Bass 1.
Score: WarriorCat 7 - Large Mouth Bass 1.
My Darling changed our mind... (We plan to go...now.)
Oh well, plenty of work around the house to do. Me and the BB and My Darling went to a new restaurant this afternoon. My Darling and her friends had been. A Mexican joint, pretty decent and reasonable...
The BB liked the view... Wanted his picture taken with his Papa... and the fountain...
Oh, that's My Darlings umbrella...

Good morning from Waverly Guest House, Inverness, Scotland. Currently 55°F and cloudy. Great chance for rain.
How 'bout them Cats last night? Go Big Blue!
Checking out later this morning. Plan on leaving suitcase here and taking a jaunt around town one more time. Catch bus roughly 3 pm for Inverness Airport Marriott. Staying there tonight because flight departs at 7 am tomorrow morning.
Very enjoyable experiences this trip. Ranks among best vacations ever. Even got a few stories to tell.
Monday, Monday....
Haggis, neeps and tatties. The national dish of Scotland. Haggis have been banned from resale in USA since 1971. Really awesome.

Good morning folks. Happy Labor Day. A stunning day in the east —clear skies, cool, a nice breeze. Just perfect.
Got to spend yesterday evening with my daughter, her boyfriend and my in laws who had us all over for some really nice lasagna. My wife still in NYC with her aunt.
VH70 —Absolutely we used to catch those WEBN Labor Day fireworks. We’d always stake out a spot right down on the river on the Kentucky side very near where we knew the barge would end up from which the fireworks were launched. In my memory they started that tradition in the early-mid 1970s, about the end of my high school years. We’d make a day-long party out of it. I’m not sure I’ve been back to Kentucky for Labor Day since I moved to DC area in 79. I think the party my friends and brothers threw to watch the fireworks went on without me for several decades.
Heading down to the city to have lunch with a couple old foreign correspondent buddies from back in the day. You folks take it easy.

I think it started in 75 or 76 as we took our 2-3 yrs old son to the Newport Floodwall to watch. No one knew what to expect. People were blown away by the size and show length. Nothing like it ever before. The finale noise & light was awesome. It went on for several minutes. Because what it would be was unknown, relatively light crowd that first year. That quickly changed.
It was a wide open event in the early years. Very little police presence, traffic control (Getting out could be a nightmare.). Recall sitting there and a group of 20's aged guys (Us still then too.) climbed up with a 1/4 barrel !! Laughed my tail off, but nobody thought anything as everyone had brought their own. Took 3 years or so for the authorities fully realized what a huge event it was & started putting in controls - reducing the fun of course. My Mom loved it. Several years we took her and sat practically on the riverbank.
For those that don't know, the concrete flood wall is 30-40' tall with grass covered embankments on both sides that are steep/tough to climb up. Installed after the record 1937 Flood. Ate up Newport's First Street.
It sounds like I caught the first 2-3 years of it before it was heavily organized or policed, especially on the Kentucky side. And yes, it was a pretty spectacular and intense show. Right up there with the best fireworks I've experienced. I moved to Miami in the late Spring of 1977, and on the DC in 1979. There may well have been a year or two in those early days when my fairly frequent trips back to Kentucky coincided with Labor Day.
Good morning from Marriott Hotel next to Inverness Airport, Scotland. Currently 51°F and clear.
Packing up, showering and walking 200 m over to the airport with just 3 gates. Flew out of here once already to Kirkwall. At any rate, will attempt arriving early as usual. Hope hold baggage not over weight. Bringing back 9 cans of various Scottish beers,
Wishing y'all a great day.
@cordmaker : Photo snapped from my room on Union Street, Inverness. You should recognize one of the items in photo. My good luck charm. It has accompanied me to Germany, Iceland and now Scotland.
Thanks!

Good morning folks.
Back to work, downtown today.
It’s a cool, sunny day in the east. Another in a long run of beautiful days, more like October than early September.
Everything is getting back to normal for my family. Both daughters begin their teaching jobs today. My son got back to his job in Texas after a long Labor Day trip to the mountains of Colorado. And my wife is returning from her visit to care for her aunt in NYC.
I hope you all are having a good day.

Flight delayed here at Heathrow. 45 minute delay. Waited on tarmac for stairs. First set inoperable . Forced to rebook flight to British Airways. Arrive at DFW couple hours later. Stay tuned.
I am on pins and needles and waiting on bated breath. 🥹😊
Good morning everyone
We had a good Labor Day weekend.....visited family for my Mom's 80th surprise BD. We actually surprised her.....she expected something next weekend (her actual BD). It was difficult to coordinate nearly 50 to be there. We had all her family and in-laws except 3....not bad.
We stayed home yesterday and caught up on some to-dos around the house, had some BBQ ribs, then a nice fire.
Celebrating our 36th anniversary at home today....wife's choice.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may reach 89°F. We received some rain yesterday while I was away Rainfall always a welcome event for us.
Returned last night around 10:40 pm via Uber. Gent, who gave me a ride, formerly lived nearby. Anyways, all is well.
My luggage still at Heathrow. Hopefully on the way to USA.
Back to work today. I'll begin posting lots of photos daily over next few months.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.
British Airways in-flight meal service is legendary. I remember on flights from Frankfurt, Germany to Orlando, FL via Heathrow and Bermuda, ex-wife and I dined like kings back in 1986. Yesterday was no exception. Seems wine is free on those flights. Love British Airways meal service.

Austin, you have me remembering the lyrics of an old song: “Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC, didn’t get to bed last night…” And yeah, the few times I’ve flown British Airways (What used to be British Overseas Airways Corporation) the food has been tip top. I wish their pubs did as well.Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may reach 89°F.

Heading into work. No wine on the subway. No food or drink of any kind, as they try to keep the rats and roaches at bay. It is fairly clean but if you pass through the deep underground stations you will see an occasional rat scurry by. I’m not sure what they eat, though enough kids ignore the food ban that I guess they get by.
Not much going on aside from work. You all have a good day.
