Just so you people don’t get too whiny (**coff** mh42 **coff**), here’s a temporary post until the resident crazy person finds something topical to discuss or I can find a suitably interesting picture of squack being squack-like.
Let me help you out. — Ham

My, we slept late,…..I can’t say anything, I got up at 7:45, slept real good. I got up at five yesterday and drove 641 miles so last night I was tarred but, when it came time for bed, I was still somehow wound up so I watched a movie until 11:30.
Mornin’ Gang -
I get to act like Tedtam this morning. There’s 4 yards of mulch in my driveway that needs to be moved to the flower beds. However, coffee first!
-
The coffee is working. Shannon, Tedtam, & Lil’ Sunshine, prayers are still on their way. Here is another link for Shannon’s #60 last night. Apparently you are awake for the procedure… no bueno.

I do not understand why I am being singled out for scorn regarding the time of thread start-up. If I am first these days, it’s because everyone ELSE gave up and went out for brunch.
🙂 -
#4 I showed up @4:30 yesterday only to be bested by LD & LS. This morning I slept late and came in first!
Beautiful morning here, 73 Degrees when I got up and it is fast approaching 80 now. I had to sweep off both porches because all that blowing rain blew P-Can leaves everywhere. The down pour only lasted about an hour then it faired off to partly cloudy. We got exactly an inch of rain, I wish that I could’ve sent it over to Houston because it has rained almost every day here since the fourth! -
Good morning Hamsters. Gratefully it is still pleasant out thanks to a wind shift to SW last night and humidity not so suffocating; 73 at 6 and a small hint of Fall despite mists rising from the moors early on. We’ll take any hints we can get.
Mariposa has run out of balls to chase so an extensive under furniture search is in order. Tried several toys from the toy box to attract her interest this morning–no sale. A fuzzy ball mounted on a spring attached to a mouse-shaped platform drew little interest other than watching it from afar. We know the platform shape is strictly for owner benefit, as it can’t possibly interest a cat when the real interesting item is the ball on the spring. Cats are not arbiters of cute toys, just interesting ones. Many kittens and cats themselves major in cute, but that’s as far as it goes. Will try a paper grocery bag next. Yes, Virginia, there still are paper grocery bags. Ya just have to ask for them from the secret stock. -
“They’re rioting in Africa,
They’re starving in Spain,
There’s hurricanes in Florida,
And Texas needs rain.”
Well, except no hurricanes this year. -
I do not understand why I am being singled out for scorn regarding the time of thread start-up.
Not for complaints about startup.
Recent general whininess. 😛 -
Hmmm, Matt Patrick played a voice recording of a whiny female on his show yesterday, and said it was on his website. It was a jilted wimmin responding to a call she had missed from her ex-man. It contained the most excruciating whiny sound you can imagine. If I get a chance, I’ll see if I can find it, and if it ain’t on FB, I’ll post it here. Right now, gotta mow my back yard before it gets any hotter.
-
Harris county DA died? Didn’t even know he was sick. And Kelly Seigler has her own TV show. Man, I live in a bubble.

Hey, I like the picture that you added.

Wish we could get a couple inches of this right now.

Izzat to be called bovine planking ?? -
I think it took me longer to get the cord and mower out of the garage, than it did to mow my small back lawn. About the right amount of exermasize when I get that late a start.
-
And now, here’s THE WHINE.

Good Morning Everyone,
I would have beat everyone if there was a post to post on ;P
LS is looking great this morning, AB even said she looks back to normal. She is getting back to her regular schedule of napping and eating. Doctor told us that depending on the last test result we should get around noon, he wants to watch her for 24 more hours to see how she does without medication. If all is well, then we get to go home before lunch tomorrow!!!
At least I get a good view of Kyle Fields from LS’s room and ours, so once it fills up, it should be interesting! BTHO RICE!!!! -
So you can watch a football game from LS’s room? Glad things are looking up for y’all.
-
I keep wishing.

Nice pic. Who’s the chick on top of squack?

Manziel thinks he’s Tebow.

When I was a kid in Cracker Land a fixture at Gator games was Two Bits (George Edmonston). He would wander around the stadium with a whistle and lead the crowd in the two bits cheer throughout the game. He always wore the same outfit – yellow shirt, blue/white seersucker pants, and a blue and orange tie. He was never paid, just did it for the love of the game I guess. He started in 1949 when the Gators played his alma mater Citadel. He finally “retired” in 2008 when the Gators played Citadel.
This year the Gators are having a former player serve as a guest “Mr. Two Bits” at each home game. This week it was former running back Errict Rhett, dressed in the same outfit. Pretty cool to watch. -
A&M better step it up a little

I’ve pulled several late nights in a row, so I slept very, very late this morning. I’ve actually slept in my own bed for the last few nights. The couch is good for “protecting” that left leg, but it’s nice to be back in my own bed. (Lovely knows of what I speak.) I’m walking more without the crutches, though my hip is still tender. I’m going to try to do some housekeeping this morning, probably from the wheel chair. I’m lucky if I can get Handsome to do dishes. I’d faint and fall right over if either of them voluntarily picked up a broom or dust rag.
I found the “pipes” for the small vacuum cleaner, so I’ll be pulling it around this morning. After the dishes are done, that is. Then I’ll probably go to the gym and do my workout. I haven’t lost much weight, not being able to do any real cardio yet, but I am feeling certain muscles tightening up. I asked Eric, the trainer who’s kinda taken me under wing, for an alternative ab exercise to the crunches I’ve been doing. I’ve been using an exercise ball to put my legs on while doing the crunches, as it isolates the abs and ensures I don’t use the back muscles by accident. He told me to take the ball and put my elbows on it, then roll it away from me. I can control how far I go out – too far and I feel it in my hip. So I roll it out as far as I can and hold it – and hold it – and hold it. 30 seconds of that and I’m quite ready to roll it back! He had me try some side planks (not on any livestock, just on the floor), but it was too touchy doing that. So I guess I alternate crunches with the ball for my floor work.
I did jump into the pool yesterday, but I couldn’t swim. I did walk up and down a lane about six times, then went into the hot tub and aimed the jets at the sore hip and got a little massage thing going, then came home.
I might repeat that again this afternoon, after I clean up around here a bit. I’ll do my bookkeeping this evening.
It’s a full day ahead…. -

Speaking of “hussy”, I was too pumped about my receipt totals at Kroger yesterday to report that I saw not one but two HFD crews come through stocking up for their weekend cooking. In a jolly mood the day before, I said something to David about Friday mornings being the best day to shop at that Kroger because the buff young guys from the nearby fire station were always there. He was not amused, and I was instantly sorry I had said it. Live and learn.

A co-worker of my wife has been offered $1500 each for her tickets to the A&M/Alabama game.
-
Looks like VY didn’t make the cut up in Green Bay. For the first time I was actually kind of rooting for him. Seems like he’d humbled himself and realized he wasn’t “an elite quarterback” like he’d always been told. Too bad he blew $58 million (+$30 million in endorsements).
-
I was trying to vacuum all those dadblasted cracks in my floor with the small vacuum cleaner that I can manage from the chair. Despite it’s mini size, it’s always been one of the best working machines I’ve ever used. It wasn’t picking up well, so I opened it up to check the bag to see if it was full.
I opened it up. To check the bag. I would have if it was there.
It seems that the last time someone opened it, they threw out the bag without telling me, so now I have to wait until I can find one. It’s a type “L” bag, and they’re not real easy to get. I may just order some and have them delivered here.
I guess I go straight to mopping and just plan on changing the water more often. -
It took three hours to move 4 yards of mulch. A yard of mulch is not too expensive at $25/yd, however, the price goes up when Living Earth charges not only a freight charge but a fuel surcharge as well. My lawnmower guy typically picks it up with his trailer and spreads it for me. It is cheaper for me to pay him to pick it up and spread it than it is to pay a freight charge plus fuel surcharge. Plus I could have had an additional three hours of drinking beer. 🙂

Tedtam it sounds like the male occupants of your household are in the same vein as one of my uncles. My aunt has been dealing with a series of health issues including cancer and my uncle does not lift a finger. One of my cousins was living with them during this time and he at least cleaned, shopped for groceries, and cooked meals.

OK, so THIS is a representative of OUR government; Iowa Democrat prayer: Thank God for abortionists! SOO sad!
Des Moines activist Midge Slater took the podium and spent five and a half minutes thanking God for abortion rights, abortion doctors and taxpayer funding for abortions. She also referred to the decision to have an abortion as “a blessing”.

Well, I’m off to sister’s house to watch the Alabama game, and yes, I know I’m late but I was scouting out Isaac’s Scuppernong Arbor,…..LQQking good after all this rain, I’ll have to get in touch with the caretaker of the place and pick me a 5 gallon bucket full of them before I leave.
Oh and;
Texas A&M gets the 52-31 win over the Rice Owls at Kyle Field! Gig ’em! -
Oh, Johnny.
First you gain a first down on an 8-yard run. And then mime your John Hancock in the air.
Then you throw your first touchdown pass. And then you show us the money.
Then you throw your third touchdown pass. And you talk trash to the Rice defense.
Then you earn your team a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. And get chewed out by Kevin Sumlin for your “stupid” actions, according to ESPN’s broadcast.
Kevin Sumlin said to a sideline reporter afterward, “I hoped that at this point he’d have learned someting. That’s why he wasn’t going back in the game, no matter what happened.” -
A play or two later another Aggie got ejected for fighting.
They need to gather their figurative feces. It’s not looking too good for their game with Alabama in a couple weeks. They had a hard time with Rice in the first half. A nationally-ranked team will beat them like a rented mule if they continue this nonsense. -
I continue to like the cut of this Pope’s jib.

Yeah We definitely need one of these to break the drought.
Speaking of drought, the weather head on ABC 13 said that since hurricane Ike we are

Yep Brother Squawk!–My yard wishes it was where this chap is standing.
-
Hey Bro Squawk did you ever see The Doc?
-
Brother Phil. O HHH Yeah. Ya ever seen his “wife”. She has a bit more subtle method.
-
Yeah I seen his wife too. She is pretty attractive.
I just remember staying up late in the mid 80’s seeing the Doc on TV wearing an army helmet, mirror sunglasses and smoking a big fat cigar imploring people to…
“Get on the telephone. Do you wanna see the wrecking ball hit this church? I’m tired of carrying you people. Play it again Ron. I like that song”
He would then defer to Ron his piano player who preceded to play Georgia on My Mind 500 times a night. -
Yup he was rich. PT Barnum was right about suckers being born every minute. Oh and what was that old saw about fools and money.
-
Nice pic. Who’s the chick on top of squack?

Well, I met with a gal friend this afternoon and went to the gym. I have – carefully – added ONE lower body machine. I used very limited motion and light weights. I did the new ab exercise beginning and end of my workout, and I’m definitely feeling it, but it’s not painful. Finished up and went shopping for a bit – using the electric cart, trying not to walk too much just yet – and came home. Made me a spinach salad ( the menfolk had a very late lunch/early dinner, so I was off the hook for cooking tonight) and took my shower. I did some hang time on the inversion table, and for my choice of DVD movie tonight, I chose “Paycheck” over “French Kiss”. It’s a movie I can watch better without Hubby ‘cuz he’d have a hard time tracking the action.
I am feeling “dangerously well”. This is where I have to be careful about my behavior. I have to remember that I’m still recovering, even though the discomfort is minimal or nonexistent.
NO aerobics classes! I learned that lesson! But I may be able to brave swimming in a few days, if this keeps up. -
I declare #54 to be the winner of the planking contest. Glad to hear TT is almost well. Now good night all.

Yep it’s Cabernet Sauvignon time again.

All quiet in the Gulf and in the tropics as we roll over into September. Thank you Lord.

Good morning, Hamsterville, rise and shine! I discovered at bedtime last night that my wake-up alarm clock, a rocking horse that goes “Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!” accompanied by loud hoofbeats, needed fresh batteries. It was late and I was tired so I punched in 9 Hours on my nap timer. To my surprise, I woke up with 14 minutes to go. But it was good to have a backup plan.

Why can’t teachers just teach? Why do they have to force students to do uncomfortable things to make their liberal point?
After the backlash, she apologized:The teacher, Shand Stamper, did apologize: “I love our flag and the nation it stands for. I love the freedom I enjoy because of our brave veterans. I feel sick and deeply sad that through my actions I have dishonored these men and women and also poorly represented you all, (To say) I am devastated by my actions bringing outrage and negativity on you is a gross understatement.”
What on earth made her think this was okay to begin with?
/facepalm -
Public unions wanting even more special treatment – payback, I’m assuming.
You heard that right. Richard Cordray, director of the CFPB, said:
Teachers, soldiers, firefighters, policeman – public sector careers invariably involve some effort, some inconvenience or some sacrifice. People give up higher incomes to serve their city, their state or their country. We believe that people who contribute part of their talents, part of the benefits of their education, to society as a whole should not be mired in debt because they stir themselves to the calling of public service. We estimate that one in four working Americans has a job that meets the definition of public service under this program. Many of these teachers, health care workers and other public servants could be eligible to have their college loans wiped out after ten years.
And how many workers are we talking about?
33 million. -
There were several points in my life where I found it very difficult to get up on workdays. (Predating my discovery of the simple principle to keep to the same schedule, pretty much, 7 days a week.) I think at one time I was setting up to 13 alarm clocks, all slightly staggered to keep some noise going for about 45 minutes. The horsey galloped, the choochoo train blew its whistle, a soldier blew his bugle, a frog croaked. Some were just loud bells, ringers or chimes.

Bronco promises that any strike on Syria will have no objective.
“Let me be clear,” he said in an interview on CNN. “Our goal will not be to effect régime change, or alter the balance of power in Syria, or bring the civil war there to an end. We will simply do something random there for one or two days and then leave.”
“It may take twenty-four hours, but it could also take twelve,” Mr. Carney said.
“Maybe we get in there, take a look around, and get out right away. But however long it takes, one thing will not change: this mission will have no point. The President is resolute about that.” -
His speech delivery capability seems to be on the wane. Not smooth. Uh’s. Er’s. Inappropriate pauses in the middle of a phrase. I didn’t watch his Syria speech, but I’ve heard the audio, and got the impression he was not with his own program. Going through the motions, read the speech, then get out to the golf course. How will this POS make it for 3+ more years?
-
Bronco is not going to shoot at Syria. Geez he is doing all he can to get cover to not to shoot. He has been informed by Putin that shooting at Syria would be a bad thing. He begged Putin to let him shoot one little missile so he could look good. Putin and Iran said no. Bronco begged and Putin, Iran and China said no.
Bronco thought that since someone gassed those people it just had to be Assad so that was his ticket to do what he has wanted to do, get rid of Assad. He thought the world would jump on board. Nope…… so what does he do…. he sends Kerry out to blame the world, the UN and anyone else he could. All the while BO is backing off the nuke em till they glow talk to just a shot acrossed the bow, nothing big or open ended, why we do not even know when to do it and he ain’t decided if he was gonna do it anyway. What a bunch of convoluted BOVINE PROCESSED HAY.
So he is gonna be all presidential and stuff and seek Congress “permission”. You are kidding right. When has he sought Congress opinion about anything? You can bet Bronco is on the phone tell the Dems to vote no. So now he will have his blame ducks lined up and he will still look hip slick and cool as he puts the blame on the “R”s and Congress for blocking what would be a legal action if he decided to really go it alone.
Our country is now the laughing stock of the world that cannot be trusted and Barak is solidifying that position. we are such toast and he ain’t gonna do squat to Syria. He shoulduh kept his big mouth shut form the get went.
For the record I do not think we should intervene for a variety of reason. -

The time to have done something is long past. By dithering, chocolate jesus has made a decision and it is the wrong one. He is now in a no-win and cannot blame anyone else. -
And we will pay the price.

Mocha jesus is hoping against hope that Congress won’t authorize military action. That would give him the cover he needs. Congress will give him the authority (which he’s always had) then he’ll be exposed for the nutless “progressive” he is. And all the “progressives” will eat it up. This bozo idiot makes Jimmah look like Patton.

And you were doing so good until

The boy once he found out he was not going to get UN/World permission began his triangulation. You can bet he is on the phone on the 3,7, 14, 16, and 19th hole calling every “R” and “D” on his side to get a no vote. Then he will have his cover to hide behind the Constitution and those wascally law makers. I think a cursory check of the World prohibition against using gas will show that the offender is to be brought up on war crimes btw. Not some other country bombing them.

We went to see The Butler last night, I knew what to expect (I mean Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan? – c’mon), but Sweetie wanted to see it, so we did. Reading about this morning to get the real true story, I chuckled when one writer compared it to Forrest Gump as it is an exact comparison. It begins with his mother being raped by a plantation owner and his daddy getting shot and killed over getting mad about it – didn’t happen, to his oldest son growing up to battle in the civil rights movement and being there and witnessing all the main events in the movement including a bus burning, lynchings, Little Rock, Selma and of course MLK’s assassination. The son, turns out, was totally fictional.
-
It is a cool story of a man who served in the White House from Truman to Reagan though. 😀
-
Someone said the movie should have been entitled “The Butler from Another Planet”, because it was pure sci-fi. I saw the movie “The Brother from Another Planet” a long time ago, but I don’t remember anything about it except the alien took the form of a black guy.

Good morning Hamsters. Labor Day dawned with misty moors and 74 out here, plenty of dew left on the pastures even now. Wet is wet and welcome.
I had mixed thoughts of displaying Old Glory on the front porch today as customarily on state holidays as well as other special days. Since Labor Day was begun as, ahem, an acknowledgment of high praise for union labor and incidentally everybody else who works, given the rabid push to pass Obamacare the current unions joyously gave, then got time-limited waivers from, I don’t think “their” day deserves Old Glory’s presence. They had a big part in passing that *&!@%% law and now seriously deserve to wallow in it. Their whining elicits no sympathy here.
Since our large flag is not designed to easily hang upside down, which would be appropriate, that is not an option. Not displaying it at all is another option, as is displaying the Betsy Ross 13-star flag. That flag cuts to the chase. Actually a good statement might be made by hanging our 50-star Old Glory upside down next to the 13-star Older Glory right side up. 🙂 Am thinking that the point would be understood by most who saw it.
After much rumination, current Old Glory sways in the breeze on the porch. It is in honor of every American who works or who wants to work. -
#117 Adee
I choose not to fly Old Glory on Labor Day for the reasons you mention. I do have to chuckle at the irony, though. In a reversal of fortune, capitalism won out, as Labor Day has become one of the biggest days of the year for the retail industry requiring workers to work even longer hours than they normally do. -
For some reason I decided to completely clean out and reorganize the back of my work truck. It isn’t a bad as i thought..only one bag of garbage (mostly blue shop towels) and about a large leaf bag of mud and dirt. I even pressure washed the rubber bed liner and bed interior.
-
On Labor Day I must ponder this.
Then I saw that all toil and skillful work is the rivalry of one person with another. This also is vanity and a chase after wind.
-
Will this become widespread?

Could it all just be Fool’s Gold?

Gotta love it. Not only are the unions hoist but also skewered on their own petard.
Meanwhile, as you point out, today commerce goes on around the nation. From visiting two establishments this morning in Rosenberg Town Center, I noted quite a few cars/trucks in the parking lots near the businesses and a respectable number of shoppers inside before noon. -
#121 Wagonburner
Let’s hope so. As Sarah Palin wrote recently, “Let Allah sort it out.” Right on.
One drop of American blood shed in Syria is too much. A pox on the house of anyone in Congress who votes yes. A pox on the house of all the dithering idiots in DC who are pushing this to cover O’s posterior even as he changes his mind by the half hour on what his position du jour ought to be. Makes Jimmah and Neville look like geniuses. -

From Michael Berry
THE JEWISH QUARTERBACK
The coach had put together the perfect team for the Chicago Bears. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn’t find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win.
Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in the West Bank . In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Israeli soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.
KABOOM!
He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.
KA-BLOOEY!
Then he threw another at a passing car going 90
mph.
BULLS-EYE!
“I’ve got to get this guy!” Coach said to himself. “He has the perfect Arm!”
So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football.
And the Bears go on to win the Super Bowl.
The young man is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what
he wants, all the young man wants is to call his Mother.
“Mom,” he says into the phone, “I just won the Super Bowl!”
“I don’t want to talk to you, the old woman says. You are not my son!”
“I don’t think you understand, Mother,” the young man pleads. “I’ve won the greatest sporting event in the world. I’m here among thousands of my adoring fans.
“No! Let me tell you!” his mother retorts. “At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn’t get raped!”
The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says:
“I will never forgive you for making us move to Chicago!!!!” -
Well, I got up a little late, as my injury was a little aggravated at yesterday’s attempt at water therapy. Before breakfast, I fed the cat and hung one load of clothes and started another. Fixed breakfast and Hubby called, asking when we should start the brisket. I had forgotten that I was supposed to get up early to marinade the slab. After re-reading the recipe, I realized I should have done it last night. Oh, well. Started putting it together and realized I didn’t have enough paprika. I sniffed a couple of my spice bottles and substituted some garam marsala. That should be interesting! I got a new trash bag, loaded the brisket into it, and poured the marinade over it. I pulled the plastic up around the meat to give the marinade as much contact with the meat as possible, then finished eating breakfast. I put away the dishes, since Handsome seems to think he’s done with the dishes after he puts them in the drying rack. /holding head in hands
I got the second load of clothes out of the machine and hung them up. Then I had to locate my sponge mop (a wring mop would be too hard to manage from the wheelchair). Fortunately, I had a new insert for the mop, but I had a wiss of a time getting the old base off the handle. Wheeled myself over to my toolboxes, found my pliers, and finally managed to get the old mop base off and installed the new mop head. Whew! Wheel myself back to the other side of the room and pulled out the mop bucket and filled with water and cleaner. How in the world was I going to move the bucket around as I cleaned? It was too heavy to easily move (it was slightly risky to fill and lift from the sink, so I ended up filling it on the floor, using another container to bring up the water level). I have a “granny grocery basket” that I use sometimes at church when I’m hauling a lot of materials, so I put the water bucket in it. Finally, I was ready to tackle my filthy floor! Oops – turn the meat in the marinade, THEN I’m ready!
I positioned myself in my chair and the bucket nearby, and began tackling my floor. I was glad I was using the sponge mop, since the wissing cracks in my floor are a real pain to clean out. I used the edge of the mop and the little attached brush a lot and got most of the floor as clean as I could get. I couldn’t move furniture, and there are some nooks and crannies I couldn’t reach, but after 2½ hours, I am pleased with my efforts. The floor actually looks decently presentable, and I even got the stairs cleaned off. I’m hot and sweaty, but finished. I have a new respect for people who are in wheelchairs permanently.
Hubby came home in the middle of it all and put the meat on the grill. He and Handsome were at the shop doing some welding or something. Handsome got a phone call from his fantasy football contact and had to go participate in the draft, but he promises he’ll be back. Hubby went to pick up some parts he needs. He and Handsome will be back later to cut up the tree that fell in the last windstorm, and cut down another tree that’s too close to the house. If I remember, I may ask them to cut up those logs that have been sitting on the back porch for a coupla years, since he’ll have the chainsaw out….
I finally get to sit down. So, here I am, checking in. Hubby said he’ll be back in a few hours, which is when I may go to the gym. I’m trying really hard to make going there a habit. Once I think I don’t have to go, I’m sure I’ll find ways to keep myself too busy or too this or too that to work out. I’ll make it a light workout today – and not try too do too much.
/hating the sticks -
TT,
Glad you are able to get some things done, although I swear I would not be mopping floors if I was in a wheelchair.
I don’t understand this:/hating the sticks
What sticks?
-
crutches
-
And actually, working from the wheelchair – pain though it was – was better for my back than trying to stand and work the mop.
Mopping and sweeping are two of the most dangerous things I can do for my back. It’s the slight leaning and pushing that puts a lot of strain on me. -

Ok, so I’ve been here in Alabama for 3 full days and I didn’t make a road trip to Cahaba, something that I’ve been wanting to do for a while but I did go over to the old truss bridge across Pea River in Coffee county where we used to go when we skipped school. Back in the 60’s when we went it was way out on a country dirt road. Now the road is paved and the old bridge is decaying away,….SOO Sad. The up side is that there were two pick-ups there with about 10 boys and girls enjoying the river. I asked them if the water was cold and they said YES!! I only saw a couple of guys venture very far out in the water…..Did I tell ya’ that “Life is Good!” 😀

I have some crickets that are singing LOUDLY. Never heard such loud bugs before!
Oh, and I just came across a site that advises using sugar on your lawn to kill weeds and improve soil. I thought this was a hoax or old wive’s tale, but I tried to research it and found an organic site that explained how it worked. The sugar gives a boost to the microbes in the soil (good) which eventually die and give off nitrogen as they die off. Grass loves nitrogen, so it gives the grass a boost. Weeds prefer poor soils, and have a hard time competing with the grass as it grows stronger.
Interesting. -
Oh, and since it’s watered in after application, the sugar isn’t supposed to lead to an ant problem, either.

Umm, sounds as though you’ve already had a workout today…. -
Hubby’s here, so I’m off to the gym for a LIGHT workout.
Y’all behave. -

#139 I feel your pain, I ALMOST filled in for Bunsen Burner once but held back….Oh and it would be inserting his favorite word after Ms Tedatm commented on Firemen or some such thing.

And, it does the same for beer/wine!

Well I just ran 50 rounds of ammo through the Para 45 and the little Kahr 40. I don’t think that I’ve ever shot them back-to-back before and was a little surprised at how much more the 40 kicked than the 45, but the little 40 has a steel slide and a polymer frame and is REAL light,….oh and keep your left thumb away from the slide! 😀
-
On second thought – I’m not going.
The hip is really aggravated, and it’s starting to thunder and lightning here. I have an exercise ball upstairs, so I can do my ab work here. Trying to crutch in and out of the gym in the rain will be a real pain in the buttock region. -
Hang in there Tedtam, I know it’s tough. Bless you.
-
Well, I’ve got the laundry done and the old pick-um-up 90% packed and I’m heading over to Lil’ Sister’s house,….rumor has it that there may be beers on the back porch, with vittles coming later. YUP, Life is Good!!

I’m hearing thunder south of the barrio. Storm rolling in?
-
LOTS of thunder. Wind. Lightning. Little rain.
-
More rain, but it’s not pouring down.
Yet. -
I see some storms on the doppler, look small but FIERCE.
-
While I was napping/dozing/listening to Michael Medved lecture about World War I – I thought I heard thunder, but I wasn’t sure until I got up. My storm-fraidy cat came out from under the bed, so it was real.

They actually make a product called horticultural molasses. You dilute it a little and put it in a hose-end sprayer and hose down your yard & flower beds with it. You can also include one of the Medina products for the micronutrients to get everything really going. -

It’s one thing to “covertly” arm a buncha rebels.
It’s another thing entirely to conduct an overt act of war against a sovereign nation-state that had not attacked us or our direct interests first. -
I was seeing something about an attempt to recall Lindsey Graham. But when I looked for it, I found a story dated 2007.

LOL. Stop it Phil! Oh my eyes!!

John and Lindsay taking turns being in the middle. My turn! LOL

It gets slow around this time most nights, I think. 7 pm is the Family Hour at Chez 42, when my dearest one and I have drinks (OJ for him and H2O for me) sitting in our lounge chairs looking out at the back yard. Watching birds eat in the summertime, raccoons and possums in the winter. Talking over our oh-so-busy day. Not really; now that we are both retired, there is less to recount.
-
Freakin McCain must got a sexual favor from somewhere. A day or so ago him and his mongoloid son Little Lord Fauntleroy Graham said nope to bombing Syria.
thanks for the update Brother Phil. I had not seen that story. -
And y’all want me to pull the “R” handle? sheesh. Does it really matter any longer?
-
Does it really matter any longer?
Yes, it does. Think Cruz, Gowdy, Mike Lee, Justin Amash. To some extent, think Rand Paul, Darryl Issa. The Dims have no one like these guys.

#158 Tole ya. They just wanted to feel im-po-tant.

The Relosercans pretend they care but they always lose to the Marxicrats because they love to lose to the Marxicrats and the Beelzebub Hussein Obama media and when it’s all said and done and they’ve both put it to the American people once again this is what’s said behind closed doors to each other.

Maybe we need to start building a habitat in orbit around the earth, like a Galt’s Gulch place where we could get away from the parasites. Did I mention I saw Elysium last week? 🙂
-
When we go Galt we can use this recipe. For you campers and hangers-around this might be interesting.
From: http://www.thesurvivalistblog.net/store-preserve-beef/East Texas is humid. I dry ground beef round in Harvest Maid food
dehydrator, batter it to small chunks and grind it to powder in Corona
corn mill. For a quick meal at home or afield I make a meat shake –
one cup meat powder ( weighs 4 oz = 10 oz fresh meat. Has 55 protein grams)
one teaspoon ground cayenne
half teaspoon yellow curry
two oz sunflower or safflower oil
add 16 oz water and shake well.
A meat shake is particularly convenient for those with poor
or no teeth. Think worst case scenario. -

Kerry’s Drinks And Dinners With Tyrant

Kerry Was For The Tyrant Before He Was Against The Tyrant -
There are only two things I hate about Kerry…
his face -
What about his Tuh-dey-sa? I think that’s how she pronounces her name.

A great idea for a TV show… I might even get TV for this

I have as much trouble listening to Kerry as I do to TDL. He is a liar and a hyporcrite of the first order and usually turn him off if he appears on my radio. I was against Kerry before I loathed him.
A working day tomorrow, I owe, I owe, it’s off to work I go.
Read y’all tomorrow. God bless and pleasant dreams. -
Kerry looked liked he’d been beaten thoroughly with a ketchup bottle, today.
