Good morning everyone.

6 degrees here on Pine Mountain. I plowed my driveway and our county road last night before dark, but now have another inch or two. I guess I'll try to get it again before too many people drive on it. Brrrrrrrr.

I'm not too interested in the NFL anymore but did watch the Bills vs Ravens. Go Buffalo. I've always rooted for the AFC teams. Well, actually started back when they were still the AFL. I've noticed that I usually only root for the original teams from when I was a youngin back in the 60's.

Stay warm and enjoy your day.

Good morning folks. Working from home, far away from the inauguration events. Sorta wish I could be downtown. The procession carrying Trump will pass right by my offices, a couple blocks south.

The first inauguration that occurred after I got to Washington DC was Reagan's first in 1980. I got up before dawn that day, made may way into he city, and found a spot along Pennsylvania Averna where it makes a hard right turn to go past the Treasury Building, then a left to the White House. There was a huge tree there, then and now, and I parked myself in front of it with a 35 mm camera I had from a college journalism photography class.

(I was trying to break into newspaper work, and was determined to cover the inauguration like a reporter, even though the only job I could find then was as an editor at a trade association writing about legislation and government regulations affecting canned foods...)

All morning uniformed Secret Service guys walked by me, and a couple looked through my bag, but incredibly no one asked for any press credential or otherwise hassled me -- and I was just some kid of 23 hanging out with no real reason to be there. When Ron and Nancy passed by later that morning I got some beautiful photos. Reagan looked right at me with a big smile. So, where are they? Lost somewhere along the way. WIsh I still had them.

Of course, just a few months later, a kid about my age shot Reagan and others in DC. So, I doubt anyone has got to stand by that tree again without a much more thorough shake-down.

I was working about halfway between where Reagan was shot at the Washington Hilton and the George Washington Hospital and remember all the hullabaloo as ambulances and Secret Service cars and so on screamed passed my offices at the National Food Processors Association at 20th and M streets. A few days later, me and a buddy just walked up to the hospital at lunch time, and we happened to be there when Reagan came to the window and waved at a big crowd of people standing there. A lifetime ago...

Hope this is a good day for all you folks.

This was the last time. They missed so many spots and places. Just showed up to say they did. I have a feeling this will go to court before it is all said and done. I have been an expert witness in court. I did have an arbitration hearing in my home but this will be a new experience. One I could do without but I am determined this must stop... We shall see.

Bert, I got a conspiracy theory on this, ESPN hates Kentucky, so they throw their anti-Kentucky crap at them to influence the outcome! Heck I just watched a video where they blamed the BBN for Cows and Arkanass failures!!!!

I recall reading that a long time ago when ESPN was getting started, they wanted to air all UK basketball games and the SEC would not approve it. Not 100% sure it is true, but did read it. If we had become ESPN's darlins...

I was a lot younger then with two good legs, but I lived near the work site of I 24 at Paducah. When no one was working, I would get up there and run to the Ohio River and back. The bridge wasn't built yet. Btw, I read the I 24 Ohio River bridge was the first and last bridge that company ever built.
Also re ESPN, I read They wanted to hire Larry Conley as their #1 announcer.

Good morning folks.

Heading out for a run. It is 7f here. Yes, seven. I can’t remember the last time it was that cold, and with the wind it feels even colder, so I’m going to bundle up and be careful.

Cats need a win on the road tonight. That’s a tough place to play, but I hope this team continues a pattern of playing well after a loss.

Austin, I hope the chemo is not canceled and is as mild as possible.

You all take care.

Morning Legionnaires!

Same here as MdWIlcat55, 7° with a wind chill factor of -6°. Going to be a frigid walk with the monster this morning.

Got a visit from and old nemesis yesterday that I had thought I had got rid of early last year. A mole popping up under my bathtub in the master bathroom. Kicking dirt up into the doors that open up under the tub area where the jet pumps are. I can't figure out why when they built the house on a slab, they left that area dirt with only rocks and cement mix under the bottom of the tub for support. I will probably have to call an exterminator because I can't reach the area on the other side of the tub where it is digging. I can barely reach around with a spray wand and a mix that is supposed to deter them but...We'll see.

Notre Dame sucked last night. I quit watching midway through the third quarter because it was getting ugly.

It is a Tuesday/Monday for the grinders here so, stay warm out there and God Bless.

Everyone have a safe day.

Of course don't mix them but use ammonia or bleach strong in that area. Not sure of the size of the area but about a quart mixed half and half with water

Will keep the mole away for a long while. May have to do it again a time or two but a cheap effective remedy. Let it soak in the dirt wherever you can reach. May need more but that should be enough for the common trap size opening. Take time to let it soak in.

Either or either or... Not together on the bleach and ammonia...;) I know you know. You'd be amazed at what some have done...

Good morning everyone.

4F here on Pine Mountain this morning. Snow plowing with the SxS yesterday was eventful. Coming back up my steep driveway with ice under the snow about got me. It's not the first time I've been stuck, but this time happened to be on the narrow spot that could take me over the hill. My winch is not working so I cannot raise the blade when the snow gets too heavy on the steep part. It took some careful driving skills (luck, lol) to get out without rolling.

Dang, Ohio St. looked good for the time I watched. What SEC team will step up next year?

I'm a little nervous about the Vandy game Saturday. They looked good against TN.

Stay warm and have a good day.

Stepped away for a few minutes to see my wife off to work. Opened the garage door and the frigid wind blew in. As soon as I got back and opened up my laptop the normal weather app popped up saying it was now 5° with a wind chill of -3°. At least the wind has died down a little to make the wind chill not as low as before, but I did not see this temp going lower. Hurry up Mr. Sun and get the temps up a bit before my walk. Doing a light leg workout in the living room this morning before the monster walk, because the shop is too cold. You folks stay warm this morning.

Morning Legionnaires!

21° this morning with 15mph winds and a wind chill factor of -1°. 48° expected for a high today with moderate winds.

Trip to the oral surgeon in Norman today to remove healing abutment and replaced with the regular one and scanning the area for new tooth construction.

Happy Hump Day folks and be careful going to work out there.

God Bless you all.

Good morning everyone.

-1F to 1F around here this morning. I can't remember the last time we had a real winter. 3 weeks of cold and snow.

I saw on FB that my sister back in central KY says it's too cold to send her 13 yr old son to school. lol The pussification of our country. At that age during the winter of 78 my brother and I had the responsibility of dragging hay bales out to all the cows and horses, chopping through the ice on the pond every morning to water the animals, and chop and bring in all the firewood for the house. It was the worst & best of times.

Of course, I can't say much I'm not going out to often myself. :)

Poor Arkansas! I sure don't miss the drama.

Stay warm and have a good day.

Hey folks. Another single-digit day in the east.

Working from home all week, and heading for Kentucky on Friday morning to check in with my father.

Miss having a Cats' game midweek. I hope they recover their magic in Nashville on Saturday.

Arkansas loses their best player, Boogie Fland, for the season. I didn't realize how good he'd been until I checked his statistics, which are close to all-SEC...They can't do worse in the SEC. Maybe this will ignire Johnell Davis, who has been a giant disappointment. Or maybe they really go down the tubes. It makes tonight's game at home with Georgia very intriguing.

Back to work. Have a good day and stay warm folks.

Morning Legionnaires!

27° this morning with 15-20mph making the wind chill factor once again in the lower single digits. The high for today in the lower 40's with moderate winds so, it will feel like 20's or less all day.

Have the regular workout and monster walk this morning with the honey do shopping list after. Will get it done before lunch and take a nap in the afternoon. Love those afternoon naps after lunch. With respects to the "Best Western Series" thread "No brag just fact".

Be safe out there today folks and God Bless.

Good morning folks. Just getting the feeling back in my fingers and toes after a six mile hike in the bitter cold. I thought I had warm enough socks and boots and thick enough gloves, but that cold is treacherous today. Officially 6f but somehow feels colder than previous days that were about that temp.

Settling into work now that I can type again. One more day to get things done before I head for Kentucky for a long weekend checking in on dad.

I hope it is a good one for all of you. Stay warm.
