We lived not to far from Mt. Mitchell, NC when we first got married.......almost had to have a mule to get to the house.......Good morning everyone.
Off to go hiking at Mt Mitchell, NC (highest point east of the Rockies....6684 ft (I think). It's 45 degrees there now and expected high of 59.
I worked all day at the hunting property yesterday have to go to Lexington bright and early tomorrow morning and then back to the regular life at home during the holiday.
I hope everyone has a great day.
We pretty much need a mule right here in E. KY. Driveway is a steep 300'. But it now has nice blacktop so it is reasonable unless it has snow/ice.We lived not to far from Mt. Mitchell, NC when we first got married.......almost had to have a mule to get to the house.......
I was looking at the new Buc-ee's on the satellite map........it appears like they have created a very nice liberation spot for my birds in Smith's Grove........@Bert Higginbotha : Stopped at new Buc-ee's around 4 pm. Tried calling my cuz and service kept disconnecting. Went over to liquor store. Talked to gal in there who said cell service is horrible since it opened.
Buc-ee's fudge is best I've every had.
Plan on driving past there at 4:00 am tomorrow morning for gas..
Our mailing address was Burnsville.......we lived out on 19-25W along the Cane River.......got me a nice spot up on a hill to get planted.......We pretty much need a mule right here in E. KY. Driveway is a steep 300'. But it now has nice blacktop so it is reasonable unless it has snow/ice.
We're going back to the Burnsville area to hike Mt. Mitchell State Park for my 60th B-day. This time we will be hiking the crest of 6 mountains....all over 6,000 ft. The Deep Gap trail (I think) but it's unofficially called the Death March. We plan to go out and back about 7 miles up and down total.
Thanks VHCat. I guess I just missed that on my visit a couple weeks ago. It was definitely still blocked then. I make that left turn just where the road was blocked to go up what we called Ft. Thomas Hill to get to the exchange right near where the Beverly Hills Club used to be to start my drive home. I-471 connects there. Next time I’m home I’ll cruise down to Dayton and Bellevue along Rte. 8 (Mary Ingles.)Hey, Md, do you know they just reopened Mary Ingles all the way from River Road into Dayton/Bellevue? Closed for 5 years due to road sliding down to the river. $9M in repairs including rail line. I haven't been on it yet. Don't get over there much anymore.
Highway that connects several NKY cities reopens after 5-year closure
Mary Ingles Highway (KY 6335) shut down in 2019 because of damage caused by a landslide. It just reopened, state officials announced.www.cincinnati.com
You need to move closer to the valley here if you require high humidity....75°F already and we are supposed to get up to 89°F this afternoon, a small chance of rain (14%) but yesterday morning early we did get .09". That rain is needed to keep the humidity high!
You all have a good Tuesday.
Yep. I lived in Louisville for 8 years and Henderson for 2 years. Plus throw in Baltimore for 6 years and Jacksonville for 15. Jacksonville has then all beat. You have to have your house pressure washed with chlorine to kill the mildew.You need to move closer to the valley here if you require high humidity....
77.4°F to top out in the mid 80's. We got a good rain last night and ended up the day with .69 inches. My prayers were answered and the two patches of new sod appreciates the rain.
I am waiting for the chair lift guys to show up to install the lift on the stairs. Any charitable donations will be appreciated. Actually it should be chair itable donations!
Went fishing this morning with temps in the low 70's and light wind. Had quite a few hits with 7 hooked and 5 landed so... much better than the last 2 times out. Biggest was around 3lbs. Going to try and go again on Sunday.
Enjoy your day folks and God Bless.
DANG!Sir,
I'd do anything in the world for you but my Ole charity contributions lately have taken a serious hit... My kids all have good jobs and all but it is the "domore" things that are whipping My Darling and me....
Amazing what I see anyone trying to do now-a-days...
I am just trying to get figured out our exact income for when My Darling and I retire, of course My Darling never will retire, she has me.
Reminds me of a story. Bob Gibson and Curt Flood were black baseball players at a time when race was somewhat of a problem. They both loved Stan Musial, but they made comments that Stan thought it was a perfect world. The team was flying back to St Louis and the plane began to have problems. Everyone on the plane was scared except Stan. He said if the plane crashed, the headline would read, Cardinal plane crashes-Musial only survivor.Good morning folks. Sitting on a plane bound for Kansas City to see daughter and grandkids. Air travel today —not fun. A long morning of hassles already. But looking forward to the visit.
I’m stuck on the back of this plane and I swear the cooling system is bringing diesel fuel into my face. Ah well. If this crate doesn’t go diwn, I’ll check in later.
Wow, I thought your birthday was earlier this week...silly me.Man,
95 today. This morning I contemplated wearing my long handles. I talked myself into it. Sure glad I did or I'd have been miserable. So very cold in my DC office....
I think Kansas City is a neat place. The statues and wall up creeks are special. Hallmark puts its mark on Kansas City. Plus I loved Harry Truman and I love the statue of Sir Winston and Lady Churchill, plus another statue of Sir Winston in Fulton, MO where he gave the iron curtain speech.Good morning from Kansas City. Not as exotic as Iceland but enjoying the grandkids. My daughter and her husband have a really nice house in the suburb of Overland Park. We went to a terrific Italian restaurant last night where the highlight was a guy coming to the table, making fresh mozzarella out of cheese curds, salt and steaming water, then putting it over these incredible tomatoes he sliced up that were the size of softballs and had a really rich, lush flavor. The names of the tomato varieties were Purple Cherokee and Pineapple.
Heading out to see the sites soon. We’re going to hit a steamboat museum I hear is sort of quirky, then maybe the Negro League Baseball museum. We’ve done the amazing WW1 museum on previous visits.
Have a good day folks.

Good morning from Reykjavik Iceland. Currently 55°F and light rain.
Plan on leaving for bus station in a few hours. May drop by Sbarro's for some quick eats.
Wishing y'all a fine Saturday.
Fermented shark & Brennivín shot. Brennivín: "Distilled from fermented grain mash and then combined with Iceland's very soft, high-pH water, and flavored only with caraway. A clear, savory, herbal spirit, the taste is often described as having notes of fresh rye bread". Not bad.
