Thanks for the well wishes for our anniversary. We have been going so much that a day at home (actually two) was just what we needed.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and partly cloudy. Good chance for rain showers. Today's high may reach 87°F. We'll take it.
My lost luggage arrived at 1:40 am this morning. You read my last statement correctly. Airline delivered it. Everything is there, including 9 cans Scottish beer.
Y'all have a great day.
We'll start from beginning of trip. Look real close and you can see below a shot of Jerry World (aka AT&T Stadium) taken on August 23 as we're coming into DFW.

Pretty day in Smiths Grove. It is 73.8°F now, it was 68°F when I got up at 6:30 am, and we are supposed to get to 89°F. Based on the last two days it will beat 89°.
You all have a great Friday eve.

Good afternoon folks. Another nice day in the east. The weather has been so good it is almost spooky. Busy as hell for me, but the storm will have passed after tomorrow at the latest.
I hope it is a good day.

Evening D, beautiful day here in the Berg, little warm but great evening! We've got problems with moles, but I am minus one now! Stepped out on the back deck a little bit ago and noticed the ground moving just s bit, motioned to Mrs. M to hand me the shovel and bam, got him! Must have been great grandpa, he was huge!!! Hated to do it but! I love looking at clouds, yesterday after we got home from church, we walked out on the deck and I have never seen a more perfect feather in the sky, it even had the shaft running through it! There's a story in our family about JP and feathers, that's why they are so special to us! Have a great rest of the evening D! May see if Bert will post it for me!
Hello all,
I am not posting much now but I am reading and lurking. (Keeps me a little sane(r)...) Things just get unreal BUT, if I do not know anything, I KNOW, God is in control and I trust him. He has NEVER failed me. No man can do harm unless God allows it. No doubts, no waiver, yeah I bemoan the issues coming so rapid-fire but I am thankful. In comparison My Darling and I and my family are fine and that is what is important. (Many would like to have my "problems".) I AM Thankful... (Just venting a little...)
God Bless you all, The D-League, you are good people.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and clear. Got some rain late yesterday afternoon. Today's high may reach 89°F.
Work got hectic yesterday. File recovery sometimes becomes tedious. Stayed on incident for 53 minutes straight. Yuck.
Happy Friday, y'all.
Coming over Moray Firth into Inverness Airport. By the way, Chivas Regal distillery located not too far distant.

The sun is shining on the left side of my face as I type this. It is 63.5°F now on its way to a hot 90°F. Smiths Grove beat Austin for the first time in a long time. We need rain but it is only 2% possibility.
I don't have a lot planned today. Need to do something but I may be too lazy.
Have a good Friday D-Leagers.

Good morning folks. Glad it is Friday. There was a thick fog laying close to the ground this morning and it was so cool I wore a longsleeve Tee-shirt on my run for the first time since April. Staying dark longer. It really feels like an early fall but I suspect we'll still get a couple weeks of hot late summer in September.
My wife got this odd idea out of the blue that she wanted to see Niagara Falls, so we are planning a trip up there in a few weeks. Why not? The drive up through the Adirondacks should be beautiful. I'll check to see if Cooperstown is too far out of the way. It shouldn't be.
When I was 4 and 5 my family actually lived near Niagara Falls. My father got a job on a massive pipeline job that lasted two summers and we just stayed up tehre during the winter when it was too snowy and cold for him to work. I actually went to Kindergarten and first grade in a small NY town near the Falls and the Canadian border. Then my dad got too homesick for Bracken County so we moved back, eventually closer to jobs he could get in Cincinnati. I guess we can check out that town, of which I remember very little.
Back to work. Have a good day folks.

Many years ago, we caught a train from Windsor Canada to Niagra Falls. Beautiful scenery on the trip and also the Falls.
A couple things I do remember from being four of five Bernie: It started snowing in October and didn't quit til Easter. And there were what seemed to me vast, endless forests. I'm actually glad my wife came up with this idea. I'm eager to see it all again.
Here's a quick story Kentucky basketball fans might like. Our family first got up there to upstate New York in the winter of 57-58, when I was only about two. (Then we returned to the same area for a longer stretch a few years later.) My dad was a young guy in his late 20s, but he was already a journeyman welder in the pipeliners union, Local 798. And he had a much older "apprentice" working for him -- Judge Collinsworth! Yes, the dad of Kentucky player Lincoln, who that year was part of the Fiddlin' Five that would win the National Championship. My dad and Judge listened to that Championship game together on the radio. Imagine that.
My brother was born that winter in New York, and I stayed with the Collinsworth family for a few days while my mother had the kid and got settled back in. It became a story that was part of family lore that Lincoln's teenage sister took such a shine to me, and me to her, that I wouldn't leave the Collinsworth's to come back home.

Happy Anniversary!
A week in the life of an old man.
Tuesday I wake up early lying on my side & the walls & window are spinning. So close eyes & two hours later I wake up again & same thing. This can't be good. So I try to get up but have to hold onto something to stay upright. Covid comes to mind & so DW goes & gets test - nothing. Go to Dr. New, cute little thing, so not all bad. BP somewhat high but not outrageous. She puts me thru a barrage of tests looking for heart issue or stroke. Good for her. Puts me on meclizine - the seasickness pills. Gradually improve thru rest of day as I take three pills. Wake up Wed & not spinning but worn out & moving gingerly. Fine yesterday & today.
Went back in p.m. today for follow up & she agrees I'm as good as I get. Whatever. She suspects rather than having a screw loose, I had a particle/crystal that got loose & into the inner ear fluid but went back in place on its own. Not sure, but best guess. Often they need a physical therapist correct the looseness by moving/jerking head around. Net, I'm celebrating three days of being upright with a glass of wine. And maybe another - or two. Have a good weekend. GBB !!

It is probably the crystal thing, but if that doesn't work out, keep Meniere's Disease in mind. Years ago, I got so dizzy I was passing out. Wake up and vomit for hours. You don't have that much in you, so a lot of it is dry heaves. First they sent me to heart doctors and all kinds of tests. Next step was a neurosurgeon in a local hospital. He said I had a growth on my brain and wanted to do surgery. Before doing surgery, I wanted to be sure, so I asked my family doctor to set me up with a second opinion from someone really good. He sent me to Memphis to a world class guy. He ran a bunch of tests and laughed at the other neurosurgeon. Said he was reading a smudge on the X rays. Told me to go home and see an ENT. The ENT nailed it over two years after it all started. I watch my diet and take mclyzine as needed and it is now something I can live with.
Thanks. Quite familiar with Meniere's. DW has had it for about 8 years. Pretty manageable by her between figuring out diet restrictions and as needed mec doses. She doesn't leave home w/o it. Around 50% hearing loss in the one hear & various ringing noises of varying intensity. Says she's been doing pretty well last year or so. Hard for an outsider to look & know what's going on. Does wear her out at times.

Surprisingly good, actually. Usually fairly busy. McDonald's stays crowded.
Brits and Scots love fast food convenience. I'd say European versions healthier than American.
That would have been my first question. I believe that many European countries have much higher standards on what ingredients can be used. We have a much higher use of chemicals in our food than most other countries.

Must win for the Cats today. They have freshman QB and a freshman left tackle. I hope we are in attack mode.
Interesting scores: Arkansas up 21-7 on Oklahoma St. and Texas up 17-3 on Michigan.

Huge game this early in the season. CAN'T lose this one.
SEC needs a better week than last. Lost 3 of the 4 marquee games.
USC jr. scores a touchdown rather easily after getting the ball back. USC jr 7 - UK 0.

O-line getting abused. Deja vu.
We have not been able to move the ball and Stoops goes for it on a 4th and 1 on our own 30. Nope.
He just gave SC 3 points for no reason. Punt it. Defend against their backup QB. Stupid.
Field goal UK!
USC jr. 10 - UK 3
Keep it on the ground and run it down their throats.
Play Army style football for today.
