D-League

I sleep with my cell phone on a nightstand next to my bed. This morning I was awaken, at 4:45 AM by the worst noise and sound imaginable. It was piercing. Somebody who was in charge sent this alert out and all day long it has been the hottest topic in the Sunshine State. It so hot that a state investigation is being conducted and somebody's head is going to roll.

No one was pleased to hear an emergency test when in a very deep sleep.

Yeah Buck Sexton was in a grumpy mood today on the Clay and Buck Show. His wife's phone went off at the same time as his. Must have been really loud.

Take my word for it. It is not the worst noise and sound imaginable. I have heard it and still have nightmares over fifty years later.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 64°F and mostly cloudy. We received mucho needed rain last night. Today's high expected around 79°F.

Leaving by bus for ABIA airport around 7 am. Flight departs around 5 pm. Stopping midway at Chick-Fil-A near UTexas campus (student union) for some goodies. Ride bus rest of way to airport. Gonna hang out there until boarding.

Daughter and granddaughter's dad picking me up from McGhee Tyson. Expecting good weather around Knoxville tonight. Really excited about seeing everybody. Already scheduled more trips for June 16-19 and July 1-10. Yeah, I need to make time for other family down in Florida, NC, Alabama, Nebraska, and Germany.

Happy Friday. Wishing y'all a wonderful end to your week.

Do umpires hate the Cardinals? This site scores umpires. It is early and there may be other factors, but it says the Cardinals are dead last in MLB in how umps calls favored teams by almost a full run over next to last. They seem to like the Pirates best.

What has happened to the American past time.....

Pitiful....


On the home stretch on the carpets. Been drinking coffee but, now drinking a weak ginger ale.... I am thankful, sore but thankful...
 
Carpet completed. New tenants liked it a lot... Handed the keys over and garage door openers along with the mailbox keys... let them know the quirks about the house. Seem like decent people. We shall see...

I do have to go back in the morning for a couple hours. Got to replace a toilets guts. (The last one.), fix a light fixture with a screw., hang one curtain rod in the lowest level.

They aren't moving in until Sunday.

Hip about to fall off but other than that I feel good.

You are braver than me. Years ago my CPA tried to get me to invest in a duplex or storage units, but I don't like dealing with people. I might have more money if I had, but I also might be in a foul mood all the time.

No Sir,

Not at all. This is the first property my wife and I own that I am the direct contact for the tenant. I have always had a property manager.... Not at all sure I will like it but I am putting 8 more percent in my pocket this go-round. This house we lived in is the highest dollar rental we own. We shall see how it goes... It's a year lease. Am actually thinking about divesting our properties. Haven't fully decided. Our kids would never keep them. (They just want the dough. No realization or memory it seems of what their Mom and I had to do to get where we are. I guess it's magical and not longevity slowly growing...)

Lot's to think about. I feel better now that I have My Darling in a home we can settle in to where it shouldn't be high maintenance for a while. (Rental laws are real stupid. We own the maximum properties we can own minus our commercial properties without the government telling us who we have to rent to...) Just criminal what this country's citizens allow. (I have to stop.)
 
Good morning all

,This day feels better though I dred one more trip. The lift isn't horrible today and I promised My Darling a nice dinner as we do have to hit the markets too. (Happily I might add...)

Hope your Saturday is a special day this go round...
 
Ain't got the sense God gave a goose....


Try to do on purpose what I do on accident... 😁 😅😅😅

Checking my fit bit this morning when I woke up. (Checking my sleep time. Got to get that up'd.)

Anyway try it, go ahead...

Stepped off my 10 thousand step hopping in the bed....
 
HI everyone,

Yes, I'm still kicking. Night fishing and turkey hunting at the lake this week wore me out. No turkeys for us and not many fish...no stripers that I was after. But, we got plenty accomplished at the place while we were there.

Woke up this morning to a big tree that took out the bed of my truck (and the windshield, slightly caved in the roof, with dents in one of the rear doors and the hood. Also, got the roof windshield of my SxS and the roof of my wife's SxS. Dread the insurance....don't want them to total my truck. It's been a good one without too many miles. 2017 w/ 42,000.

Oh well, just material stuff. God has blessed me more than I deserve anyway.

I hope everyone has a great day.
 
Wow,

Really sorry for the tragedy's. Insurance, yeah..no fun at all. The only thing you ever buy, you never want to use... Hoping you get what you want. My daughter was driving in the hail storm in San Antonio about 2014 or so and it totaled her 2012 Mazda 3 we got her before we left for Korea. When I got back we bought her a new one and I kept that Mazda 3 and am still driving it. Has a junk title after I bought it back totaled from the insurance company. The junk title let's me pay about $75 a year in "usage" tax versus about $300. Worth it's weight here. Have had several offers just due to the junk title. Now that we have moved I may buy My Darling a new car if this country takes a turn and take her Camry as my own.

FINALLY just got back from finishing our house for the new Tenants.... Now for our "New" home... My Darling told me we could do this one slowly. I plan on putting the RO system in after church tomorrow...We shall see.

Man that sucks Storm. Hopefully insurance picks up the damage.
 
A few years back, a tornado came pretty close to our little town and was just north of us. I could see it from my front yard. It missed us but the weather pattern with it did drop hail on us that beat up my truck a bit. Picture below is one of the hail balls that were hitting around our home and vehicles. That is my hand and I used to be able to palm a basketball to give you some scale.

Good Sunday morning everyone!

Thanks for the well wishes on the truck. It's been a good one and was hoping it would take me to 70. I dread working with the insurance and truck shopping/body repair. But, inconvenience is not a big deal. It will put a damper on my hunting and fishing this spring though.

I didn't get on the internet at all during my week at the lake. Refreshing (no offense, lol). And I get back to see 2 more transfers out of Big Blue country. Hopefully we'll know who is on the team by the end of May.

I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday.
 
Good morning from Forge Ridge, TN. Currently 39°F and clear with a light wind. Today's high may hit 54°F. Chilly.

@storm1507 : man, sorry about your truck. Hoping for speedy insurance settlement.

We'll try Kroger again today. Well. as soon as these folks get their butt's up. Heard Food City over in Middlesboro has gator meat for sale. Heh.

Wishing all a Happy Sunday.
