My wife's is two days after Christmas on the 27th. So I put a card and a gift under the tree. It has worked for 53 years

Images of this hurricane coming in from the Bahamas (Fox News)... not looking good for them. Hopefully it stays out in the Atlantic and goes the way that it's tracking. With that said, I'm glad I don't have a place in the Bahamas.
Not only does Rob remember our anniversary, he remembers the exact time we’re pronounced husband and wife. He’s also never forgotten my birthday.
Of course this might be because he taught me how to shoot...

Evening D
I hope all are safe and well
My daughter just texted me to let us know what our first grandson’s name is going to be: Logan Edward. I love it! His middle name is after my Dad. Logan is due on what would have been my Dad’s birthday. I sure hope that becomes his birthday as well.
My son and his wife are naming their little girl Kiara Elizabeth-Rose. The Rose is in honor of my Dad as well: he always grew roses.
So now, we will have Lily, Kiara and Logan to bless our lives. I can’t wait

I like the dirty look. Looks like it's been working out on the line!
Alright D-League folks...I'm calling it a night. Watch out for those 
If they mess with you, poke them in the eye and tell them to move on...

Great names to be sure. Have not technically seen my grand kids in over three years. Skype about once a month. One is 5 (Annabelle), 3 are a few months over 3 years (Nathaniel, Thaddeus, Benjamin) the triplets, and 1 just turned 1 Friday last (Mathias).
One of the triplets Benjamin has Spina Bifida otherwise very healthy. Both parents in the medical field however, mother stays home now.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F. Looking at another 102°F day. At least humidity is relatively low.. We'll cool off eventually.
Morning D. Salutations from the shanty.
More coffee.......................................................

Morning all, Leaving Friday for Kentucky, may go to the game Saturday, Started a diet on May 1st. Went to the doctor and weighed in at 259, as of this morning, weigh 207. Walk 5 miles a day now and eat healthier. I live in a place where if you don't walk, and you're physically able to, that's on you.
When I took my physical for the RR I was 18 years old, was 6'1 and weighed 171....LOL. Glad that hurricane missed us, a lot of property is just getting fixed from Hurricane Irma, two years ago. Have a good day, talk at you later

Good Morning D League
Coffee is extra good today and we should be in for a pleasant day getting a nice breeze from what is going on over on the east coast. Temperature outside is 71° and we should get up to 84°. We have a slight chance of light rain. Thankfully not this much. The picture below was from a St Augustine hurricane in 1928 before global warming.

Great job taking off 52 lbs. What was your secret?
Looks like a coal car behind it.
It is a nice 67.1°F and sunshine here this early morning.
I don't plan on doing much today. Give my old rotten back a rest after physical therapy yesterday.
The roundup is working on my yard. The grass is yellow and in some places it is already brown. Bermuda is a hard grass to kill.

This is sort of corny, but I enjoyed it:
Good morning D-League. Full-on summer heat and humidity in the east today after two weeks of fall-like weather. Really muggy on my walk this morning.
Sounds like Florida is going to get a miss from Dorian, and it is losing some force as it hits the Carolinas. Good news. Praying for people in the Bahamas. I used to travel through there a lot in younger days and always liked the people down there.

Morning fellers & pretty lady.
Today is my Friday!!
Congrats on all the grandkids Bko. I got 1...would like to keep it that for a couple more years.
Earlier you guys were talking about playing golf...my plan is to play 18 on Thursday & 36 on Friday and 36 on Saturday. Barkley Lake...Boots Randolph course.
Good thing is most of it will be Scramble golf....which is also a bad thing![[cheers]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/5628.gif "Cheers [cheers]")
I used to get frustrated...until I came to terms with my suckage. Now I just try to enjoy it regardless. I've tried playing focused & sober = not good, I've tried playing increasingly inebriated = still not good.
Just my 2 cents. Global warming is bs. Climate change....maybe, but it's not because of man. And man can't control weather. Earth is always changing, I've also been told it is always spinning...

Congrats and well done! It's all about inputs and outputs.
Walking = awesome. I usually average 3 miles daily, counting back and forth to the bus stop. Previously, I cycled 10 miles daily up until February last year and walked another mile or so. Staying active keeps you younger.
Hey, I think this would actually be a pretty neat experiment.
Hey Ace, can you share with us about some of the diet changes you've made since you started your diet back on May 1 ?
Hello and good morning to all in the D-League,
It's a sunny, crystal clear 72 degrees here in the Chattanooga/North Georgia area, headed for another scorcher of 97 later on. It got up to 97 yesterday also with a humid heat index of over 100. My son and his cross country team have had to re-structure their practices to avoid the hottest parts of the day. Same with our high school football and band.
Meanwhile, I'm sitting here at work with a cup of smooth black coffee. Our office here at school this morning is sitting at a frosty 66 degrees. So, yeah, they did fix our AC pretty well, didn't they?
Like a few others, I'm also going to hit a strict diet here for the next six weeks or so. My doctor tells me that my "ideal" weight for my height and bone density is 172-178 range. I'm around 188 as I sit here today.
You all take care, enjoy this day, and be kind/respectful to each other.

Actually, I know this is cliche' to say, but it was mostly just common sense. Of course, I do have a lot of coaching. One daughter is a Dietician, another a Nurse Practitioner and a wife who's a Professor of Nursing...lmao. What i did though, was gave up bread, fried foods ( this really hurt lol ) and sugary stuff.
I eat a lot more fruit, veggies and WALK! Walking now 5 miles a day. I started out walking about a quarter mile and it about killed me. You just have to be disciplined and consistent
Nice and good for you being consistenta and disciplined. Yeah, from what you said, it's pretty much common sense stuff; no secrets, no ninja techniques. Just sensible steps that most of us know we should do anyway. How about any weight lifting/strength training to go along with the walking for you?
No, no weight training for this old man. I do ride my bike once in awhile and swim, but besides walking, that's it

I always suspected that. Hasn’t changed a lick in the last 47 years since the film. Except to get older and taller. Did you know he is older than dirt? But he sure can pick that banjo.

Good morning D, finally got some of my work done here and at church so I am just kinda being lazy. The pay is the same whether I am lazy or not!
Just about got to hot working at the church yesterday, Mrs. M told me I had better be careful so I put my foot down and told her yes dear.
Don't think I am going to get the hearing devices, they seem like they didn't stop the ringing in my ears that much, plus it seemed like every time I did something I had to stop and take them out, so I have lived with this ringing for over 35+ years I guess a few more won't matter!
I was taking a shower last night, just standing in there thinking, gosh I hurt all over and it got me to thinking about when I started at Dyno Nobel and how sore I was when I would come in from work. My job was suppling powder to two buildings that made det cord. For ever lot I did 300lbs per lot and by the time I completely finished each lot thru the line I had moved it 6 times=1800lbs all moved by hand. I averaged anywhere form 6-10 lots a day, that's a lot of pounds! I loss 15 lbs. the first two weeks I was there!
Ya'll have a great day!

There are a lot of teams ranked ahead of us that I would love to play . We will get a few of them on that list.
My ears also ring constantly and sometimes loudly as a result of gunfire and explosions, according to doctors. Looking at a doctor visit here soon.
My ears ring a lot too. After 20 years in the artillery it is to be expected.
It seems like the older I get the louder they ring, I just can't see putting over 5 grand in something I will not use all the time.
You receive VA disability for hearing? I have not, but a friend of mine has.
