Good morning folks. In DC today, working from the office. It is a beautiful spring day, warming up enough to leave my coat at home.

A challenging period at work. Keep moving forward. Reds off to a decent start, though I’m not really engaged in the season yet.

I hope it is a good day for all of you.

Good morning. Beautiful morning in Ashland. It was 64 degrees when I got up at 5:30. Cloudy but we’re not expecting rain. Defrosting a couple of pork loins to make barbecue. I have hopes for the Reds, but I do every year at this time only to be disappointed by Memorial Day. Hope everyone has a great day.

Tuesday, Tuesday... Nope, doesn't work. Heh, heh, heh, and neither do I.

2 weeks in with the new truck (2026 Ford Maverick) and early (probably too early) assessment is I like it so far. Ride is smooth, steering and control good, pickup for a 4 cylinder is pretty good as well. Wife drove it for the first time on Sunday and made note of how well she could see both rear side views. While still having blind spots (all do) we can easily check rear sides to clear.

Not quite used to the auto correct (truck veers back to center of lane if you drift to one side or the other automatically). Does not force it but gently reminds you that you have drifted to one side or the other. Still a lot to learn about it so...

Man "Peoples"...

Was running and running and running around with My Darling.. Been seriously navigating the town...

Got a new key fob for the Mazda I am selling. (Have three working key fobs for it.) Bought it a while ago from a Sam's vendor while I was shopping. They mailed it back near the begining of February. I had it and found they were at the "Costco" for about ten days. (Lucky My Darling has a membership at Costco.)

Anyway, whether these "kids" buy the car or not I have it in a lot better shape to sell. New floor mats, gave it a good cleaning. The dashboard warped some with the SA heat back when it was my daughters car and we were in Korea. I am going to see about fixing that tomorrow...

Busy busy....

BUT, it is Yuengling time....................... Uh scratch that... My oldest daughter just called. She has a mouse... Just DARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Contained the varmit. Will deal with the scum tomorrow as my daughter could not stomach throwing it away alive in the trash... I'll git-r-done.......TOMORROW.... (She will be at work and I can do what I need to do in a very few minutes...Just one mile away!!!)

It's Yuengling time... Been a good while since I have partaken... May do more than two today. (Already drank two.) Have a peaceful rest of your evenings...

Morning D-Legionnaires!

65° this morning with light winds. Had a little rain last night (need much more for my fishing holes) and are supposed to have more tonight. Next few days, high temps will be in the mid 80's with a cold front coming in by the weekend bringing the highs in the upper 50's to low 60's. I like it to stay cold.

Co-ed Softball to start this Sunday although that is subject to change since it is Easter Sunday. We will see.

Reds lost last night (8-3) with a terrible start for Williamson who had not pitched in over 500 or so days because of Tommy John surgery. He walked a few batters in the first couple of innings and did not have much on his pitches in general. Pirates scored 6 of their runs in the first 4 innings and they kept Williamson in until the 5th and over 90 pitches. He had more balls in the first 3 innings than strikes.

BatCats won last night against Miami of Ohio although they struggled to do so.

Oh Well, Hump Day for you workers bees so, get at it, kick it in the Butt and be careful out there.

God Bless.

Hello all,

My secluded subdivision of four and a half streets is getting the final paving coating starting today. Just saw a tow truck taking a car down the street. (Some will never listen...) I am doing some paperwork checking and gathering for my meeting the 6th. I am close....

I think I will take My Darling with me when I go to my daughters house this morning. My Darling wants some bamboo for her garden. We have a place picked out, I have a smaller saw, my hacksaw, and some clippers. (Shouldn't take too long, I hope.)

They are not paving my street today, that is supposed to be tomorrow but they are running the final sweeper down the street several times now. A busy, stinky day today and tomorrow, and the next day it seems...

I am thankful.... Hope you all have a day that doesn't STINK!!!! ;)

Bump up the jam, Bump it up
While your feet are stompin'
And the jam is bumpin'


I did some serious jamming up some insects and a meece today!!!

Man, why do people squirm over things like this...???

"Ain't" nothing but a thing....

well, it was a live thang...



HAHA,

I MAY be back in the "Bug" business...

Walked down talking to the lady (Thought it was a guy.) working at the corner with the paving company and saw the sidewalk in front of my neighbors house... (I did him a freebie..) Mangled these thangs too...





Took me a very few seconds once I walked back to my garage and got my sprayer. (Sprayed my house yesterday.)..

Anyway, they be ALL DEAD!!! Thousands of "dem" critters...

Good morning everyone

Up but not at em early. I'll finish off another cup of coffee and then slip out in the darkness to listen for turkeys gobbling and the birds to wake up.

I've been busy lately....volunteer work. I'll get stitches out of my nose tomorrow morning. Hopefully next week we'll make our first trip to the lake this spring.

I'm trying not to come here (well, RR) and check on portal, transfer, recruiting rumors. It can drive a UK fan mad.

Have a good one.

I don't click on any of those threads that speculate what we might/could/maybe have as far as players are concerned. I will just wait until next season and hope for the best.

Good morning folks. Interesting to me that none of you guys have mentioned the moon launch yet. I watched it yesterday (well, a replay. I was still working when it happened for real.)

I am interested in it, and of course praying for the crew to return safely. It brought back lots of memories of when I was a boy —Mercury, which I barely remember, then Gemini which I followed closely, and finally Apollo, which totally gripped me. I remember the missions beginning with 10 -which was sort of like this one, around the moon without landing -vividly.

Maybe I was just the perfect age, a 13-year old boy when the first moon walk happened. I wonder if young kids are even close to as interested this time.

Long work day ahead. Hope you folks have a good one.

Hello all,

Up early today, did things I needed to do and have multiple more items, but sitting in my office, I have some visitors. They are working my street today...





The buildings you see are Condo's, I own a townhome. We have one large block that is surrounded by four of these large buildings. (With only one way in...) It is normally very quiet except for the community dog owners who spend their time cleaning up the messes their animals make. Many walking the block but most seem to be decent people.

We have a nice wooded walking trail in the back of our community as well. My Darling and I frequent that when we can.

It is a nice 55 and over retirement community. I'd never own a condo though, too much charge for nothing to be honest. We have a small backyard but enough for My Darling to garden. (Has a really nice flower garden in the front as well. (She gets compliments all the time from the residents.) The Mazda is still sitting but we shall see....

Our clubhouse and pool are to the right about 400 or so feet down the sidewalk. The BB and Little BB love that place. If the Lord doesn't take me home we will frequent that place this season.

Kind of stuck inside today, for a while anyway but we have all we need. We could leave but I will try not doing that until they finish this street...


Enjoy your days and I hope they are less conjested than this day will be for us... ;)

It's old hat to me. I saw plenty of "Moon" landings on bus windows when I was in high school. ;)

Man, I am sitting at my desk now. (Been vacuuming upstairs readying "another" place for the BB's Lego's.)

The boy could not put all his lego's in both upstairs bedrooms...




He has way more than double that many and this was a year and a half or so ago...

This is our townhomes across from the earlier pictures I posted of the Condo's...

I was in Izmir Turkey when we landed on the moon. They had a mini world fair going at the time. The USA exhibit was an outdoor theater where they played film of the moon landing. There was a huge flu epidemic in the mountains and many thousands of the mountain people died. They blamed us for stirring up germs that fell to earth on them.

And for sure don't listen to the hype on RR before the season starts..........I was thinking this was going to be the best season......I don't know who's, who as far as recruits go....I did when I was younger.......now it seems like I spend most of my time with my racing pigeons......:cool:

Good morning folks. Happy Friday. Heading out for a run, then a day working from home.

So, government bureaucracy has been holding up my son’s forest firefighting team job with the Interior Department in Alaska. Now he has a similar offer out in western Colorado, between Durango and Grand Junction. I pipelined out there back in the very late 1970s and loved the area, so I told him to strongly consider it.

Ready for the weekend. I hope it’s a good one for all of you.
