Nice around here in Northern Virginia. This is the first Halloween My Darling and I are sitting home... quietly, though the BB will be staying the night as his Mom has to work tomorrow. I am off so looking forward to it. We have a good time together. Such a joy to be around... (The BB, not so much me though...) ;)

Actually popped the top on a Yuengling... been a while and I have a decent stash....

Have a peaceful evening...
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and cloudy. Chance for rain later today. Today's high expected around 80°F.

Booked a trip to KY/TN and back using airline miles. Travel April 18. Fly ATX to BNA (Nashville) Return April 22. Going out to Lake Barkley.

Happy Friday, y'all.

Good morning everyone

We live on a back road with a 300' steep driveway and we're the last house on this road so we don't get many/any trick or treaters. The last several years we participate in the Trunk or Treats with our churches. Last night was perfect weather here in SE KY and we had about 750 kids.

We're supposed to be babysitting today but our great, great niece had a high fever and they took her to the ER last night. No covid so we'll see if we get her or not today.

Wife and I will be deer hunting tomorrow morning....that time of year again.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Storm, do you have Elk in your area also?

Morning Legionnaires!

44° this morning (Whooo! Hooo!), finally going down. Today's high to be in the mid to upper 70's. I will take it.

133/77 this morning (Whooo! Hooo!), after a 151/87 last night. I will take that too.

Thank God it is Friday (Whooo! Hooo!). No, not for me, but for you worker bees out there and, it is supposed to rain this weekend (we need it).

You folks be careful out there and slide into the weekend.

God Bless the D-League.

Edited: Don't forget to set those clocks back this weekend (for those that do).

We live on the main road of our housing division and only get a few tricks or treaters each year. However, we got none last night probably due to the fact that the road is closed to most traffic right now while being repaired. It just means those few bags of candy will have to be eaten before next year. Not big bags mind you, but good bags of candy. My daughter and I will enjoy for sure. Me in moderation of course. ;)
 
Storm, do you have Elk in your area also?
We do but they are not very plentiful. We've seen one good bull here at the house and a couple up on the mountain where we do most of our hiking. At our hunting lease we'll usually get pictures of a bull about once every three years. If by area you mean within an hour drive....yes. There doesn't seem to be as many elk in KY as there was 10 years ago.

I was at the initial elk release about 20 years ago when the Dept. turned out 7 elk and another here in the county when they turned out a bunch.

Absolutely! Before we started doing the Trunk or Treats I insisted that we "give out" Reese's Cups for that very reason.

Good morning all,

"Day off? Off day.." Yeah my regular day off. (I needed it.) Taking My Darling and the BB to My Darlings medical appointment around noon and then will hit a market or two. Maybe head on post to see if there are any sales.

Have a great day!

HA,

My Darling and I stayed at home last night. (Was kind of amazed at no doorbell rings in our 55 and over community. Many people here have pets and walk them religiously. (We feel for some of them.) Only one way in and out of our community so it is secluded thankfully. (Even in nearly the middle of town.) Papa babies hit it hard yesterday though here in Virginia and in Florida. Got some seriously good pics. We are thankful..
 
Good morning folks.

Slow night of TrT in my neighborhood. I think we had seven. They were lucky kids because I gave each about 7-10 small pieces of chocolate candy - Reese's, Milky Way, Snickers, etc. That's because my wife, in her enthusiasm, bought what must be a 25 pound bag of candy from CostCo. Ah well. I guess we'll nibble away at it and she can take a pile into the hospital where she works.

IT was rainy this morning but the sun is out. A lovely day to start November. You all have a good one.
 
It is a sunny 55.6°F on our way to a cool high of 66°.

Sherry and I will vote this afternoon. I love the early voting. No lines, nice people and a happy occasion.

I have lived in many places and Kentucky does elections better than any that I lived. We may be hillbillies but we can run elections. When I won as Mayor I knew by 8pm that night.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 81°F.

Visited Camp Mabry yesterday for new ID cards. My old card was INDEF, issued in 2001, but got a new one anyway. New card expires Oct31 2026. Wife received a new card.

Football game starts at 6:45 pm. Hoping for an upset. Go Cats!

Wishing y'all an awesome Saturday.

Good afternoon folks.

A beautiful day in the east. Sunny and cool. Went on a long run. Then had to help my MIL with some work around their place.

Great recruiting pickup with Acadian Lewis. He’s a perfect player for Pope’s system. So far, very little recruiting drop off from Cal, and that’s about all Cal was bringing by the end. Pope has the edge everywhere else.

Looking forward to a nice dinner at a favorite restaurant tonight. Won't bother to watch the Cats play Tennessee. If the Cats surprise me, I'll watch it tomorrow.

Hope you all have a great day.

My school didn't have a football team. I never played a real game of football in my life. I helped coach my daughter in basketball and softball because I had a decent idea what was going on. My step son played football in eighth grade, but I couldn't help. had no idea about football. He only played to try and get girls anyhow. He told the coach not to put him in the game.
 
Not as fired up as I usually am when the Cats play UT. Maybe that will change once the game starts. Who knows? Maybe they'll surprise us.

Florida over UGA 13-6 at halftime. I doubt that lead will hold but hey, it's the SEC.

IU about to go to 9-0. They still have to play Michigan, Ohio State and Purdue but damn it would suck if they made the 12-team playoff.
