Smart tree...
Good afternoon all,
Just got back home from church and the store. Enjoy your Sunday afternoon. May it be leisurely.

I hope that was a calm time during your service so you could enjoy it somewhat. I think I'll just stick with the Appalachian mountains.
Funny story from Saturday, we went to see the movie Twister, as we were walking out there is a couple setting to the side, he young man was wearing an Arkansas t-shirt, I saw a guy with a Kentucky shirt on, he walks up to the young man and says, I just want to thank y'all from the bottom of my heart for taking coach cow off our hands, we really appreciate it!!! As we walked away, both of them were laughing and shaking hands!!
Like anything, there was both good and bad. I'm glad I was there though. It was a great chance to see and work with another culture and to see how good we have it here. In line with your old job, there was a lot of wild boar there. The big shots were always visiting and playing war games so they could go hunting.
I hope all have a peaceful and restful evening/ night. Hitting the hay. Not a bad day tomorrow but Tuesday, I'd rather do about anything other than what I am scheduled to do.... (I am thankful...)
Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F and partly cloudy. Rain expected later this afternoon. We may not exceed 87°F at all today, which is fine with me.
Monday, Monday.... Wishing y'all an outstanding day.
@cordmaker : Here we are coming into Newark early evening March 16. Look closely and you can see Freedom Tower NYC just behind wing tip.

Good morning folks.
Hot and muggy in the east. Just finished a longish run and I’m sitting on my back porch eating a slice of ice cold watermelon. What is better than that first bite of a perfectly sweet and crisp watermelon when you are overheated and dehydrated.
Gotta get ready for a long work week. Hope all is well with you folks.

Morning guys. It is a cloudy 74°F on our way to a cool 82° this afternoon. We got .34" of rain over night.
Biden dropped out. I did not think he would do it. I assume it will be Harris on the top of the ticket.
Enjoy your Monday.

Found an iPhone yesterday during my walk. T-Mobile is carrier. Language en Español. Drop it by local T-Mobile dealer later today after chemo.
Olympics opening ceremony Friday. Some events, such as Rugby and Soccer, start preliminary play today. Go USA!
Chemo at 9:45 am.
Wishing y'all a good day.
Ground beef at Icelandic supermarket (Nettó) goes for roughly $10 / lb.

Good morning folks. Cloudy and incredibly muggy in the east.
Strange days we are living through. Less than two months ago Biden put out a brash, sneering video daring Trump to “make my day” with an early debate. Now he’s staring off into space in his Delaware basement, dreaming of taking down CornPop in the pool parking lot while Hunter googles Countries with No Extradition and tries to cut a bulk deal with Motel 6 for his “art work.”
I’ve noticed the days already getting slightly shorter during my morning walks. But still lots of summer ahead. Hope you guys are enjoying it.

A beer in a frosted mug?
G-day!
Went fishing this morning at a pond (lake size so pond is not a good measure) that I have only gone to 2 times at Ft Sill with each time yielding nothing. I was bank fishing those first 2 times with not a whole lot of bank accessible. This time I was in the kayak. Only got 4 strikes but hooked all 4 of them and landed them so... Warrior-Cat 4 -- Largemouth Bass 0.
There was a lot of grass covering at least half of the lake/pond. Ran frogs over the grass and weedless worms through it. Caught the bass on the worms. Water was clear and I could see many little bass all over the place. that bodes well for the future.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and cloudy. Slight chance for showers. Our high may reach 88°F today. Received a good soaking rain yesterday. Loving this weather.
Got another MRI scheduled for October 1st. May come sooner. So far everything stable.
Happy Hump Day, y'all.
My buddy's other house in the Haverhill, MA area. Presently occupied. Built around 1740. He and his wife live next door. Amazing history up there.

Good morning folks. Grinding away at another work day -- a very busy one. Got in at 7:45 and just looked up to see it is closing in on noon. "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace to the last syllable of recorded time." Or something like that. Maybe it's more what the Doors sang: "Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes."
Happy hump day. Another weekend glimmers right there on the horizon. I'm feeling like seeing the ocean. Maybe my wife and I will visit her brother in Rehoboth Beach. Sleepy Joe should still be locked in the basement so it'll be safe.

Good afternoon. Just got finished frying up a pound of bacon. A friend brought over a bunch of home grown tomatoes and we are going to have BLT's this afternoon.
It has been cloudy and just now got to 80°F even though it started out at a warm 74°F . We are supposed to have rain but we have not seen any in two days.
Happy hump day folks. Even though I have been retired a long time, the weekends are the best. It does not make sense but that is just the way that I am wired.

^BLT's for us tonight also before heading out to the Wed evening bridge club game.

IT'S BACON!!!!!
Man we are making up for rain now. "A chunk floater, a frog strangler..." - J. Clower
Good morning from ATX. Current temperature = 74°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 84°F. Great rain chances.
Bout with nausea last night. Ugh! Okay now.
Wishing y'all a great day.
Church in Akureyi, Iceland.

@AustinTXCat sorry to hear about the nausea. Nausea really bothers me. You have been one tough dude when it comes to taking chemo. Here's to you!
I am enjoying the pictures of Iceland. Keep them coming. Austin is the churches mainly Catholic or are there also protestant?
It is a partly cloudy 70°F on our way to 88°F and only 3% chance of rain. They had predicted a "frog strangler" @BBUK here this week and we have had one rain that gave us .38".
You all enjoy your Friday eve.

Bert, as I understand, Evangelical Lutheran dominates at roughly 65% of the population. Catholic comes in at around 3%. Thanks.
So it is the German influence I assume.
Good morning folks.
Busy day today. I talked with a 94-year-old former Life Magazine photographer for a piece I'm producing on the resignation of Nixon, which incredibly as it seems was 50 years ago in about 15 days. This guy took the famous photos of the family after Nixon made his speech that he was resigning. Biggest takeaway: The guy knew all the presidents from Eisenhower to Bush and he said Nixon was the nicest guy on a personal level, though Reagan was charming in his own right. Not the way many of us think of Nixon.
Things are moving along otherwise. Friday is within view.
Have a good one.

I saw a Nixon interview from years ago. I was very impressed by his knowledge of world events and how certain actions and reactions would affect things.
Bert, do you know, have heard of, or are a relative of Major General Geoffrey B. Higginbotham, USMC (Ret.) ? (I know, I'm questioning you on the witness stand. 
)
He's written a damning background letter on Kamala.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and cloudy. Good chance for rain around noon or so. Today's high expected around 88°F. We'll take it.

Good morning all,
Day "off"...
I stay so busy now but I am thankful.
At the DC VA. Just had my blood test. Have two ultrasounds in a bit. Just waiting now. Then have to get a pint drawn.
Then the real work begins...
Should get back home around noon or noon- thirty.
My youngest daughter will be over. Her 2019 Rav4 didn't pass inspection. She needs new brakes and rotors.
I felt bad for her. She makes good dough but.....
Advanced auto parts always takes good care of me. Got good grade brakes and rotors for about $300.00. They gave me their commercial rate.
Since they are charging about $1100.00 an axle here, I think I saved her some dough once I finish. Hopefully later today.
Sprayed my oldest girls home for ants late yesterday afternoon. Needs her gutters cleaned but I don't do the climbing any longer so there is that.
Oh, I bought this daughter brakes and rotors too. I knew she needed them after driving her car recently..... Not today though.
Haha... My youngest told me, I will take you and mom out to eat after you finish. I told her to take mom and the BB. All I'd want, I will have.... A shower and I do have a case of Yuengling.
Have a fine day!!!

Never ever had any issues with the VA. Be early for your appointments. No issues...
San Antonio, Charleston, Louisville, Augusta, DC....
Finished my ultrasounds early but got concerned when the lady said, let me check with the doctor... Then came back and stated results available in three days... Still concerned....
Waiting to drop a pint now. Already had vitals. That appointment is at 11.
