Top of the morning to you all... ::nod::
Cudgee my father was a big Sears and craftsman tools customer all his life. Also, there was always the latest Sears catalog or local store ad in the bathroom, but not to be used as toilet paper.
Working on Christmas cards today and I may go to a local indoor range for a while. Hope everyone has a great weekend and be a blessing to someone... :D

At lunch time years ago I used to cross the street from the office and visit the Art Institute. My favorite painting was a winter scene by a French fellow named Manet, not to confused with Monet. In his painting he captured the pinks of your breaking dawn. Thanks for the memory, Boji.

Good morning, FCD!

*56 right now with a high of *74 in the Ozarks. The smell of springtime is in the air. Really. Seriously. You can smell the grass and the air, feel the warmth. Not having a calendar, you'd swear it was April.
Just might take a jaunt out to Stockton Lake today. Bet I'll run into some people playing hooky from work. There's a marina with a great view (that's where I shot some of my knife pics). Need to get the cat litters changed too.
Everyone have a great day! Be safe, be careful and enjoy your Friday! ::super_happy::

From great views to cat litter. That pretty well sums up life, MG.

Morning folks, 🌡 46 heading to the mid 70's sez Nikki Dee and Leland.
I was almost through with my fcd post and the boss unplugged the router to put in a new one and everything went away.so I'm late getting back to it.
Critters are fed and the dishes warshed and put away.
Went to the TSC pre grand opening opening got a free cap. The governor and state legislaters from our area will be at the official grand opening Saturday along with the president of the company. I didn't need any of that crap.
Gonna put some sta- bil in my lawn equipment gas tanks, sevice and start my generator and move it to the front of the shed, in case with have a bad spell of weather and lose electricity. ::uc:: ::woot::
Yawl have a good'un and be careful out there. ::handshake::

I have to strongly agree with Jerry. It sounds like he needs a purpose and the Corps will absolutely give him that and much more. ::tu::

Seeing that add I wish I had known then what I know now.
Coffee was pretty darn good.
Got tomorrow rather than Sunday off.
It seems it will be this way until the supplier gets back to normal.
Do have to be there at 5am on Sunday.

I do agree with you guys. 20 years old and acts like 13 or 14. He even admits he doesn’t want to “adult”.
Do you know if vision requirements are still 20/20 with glasses? He has very strong correction glasses so I’m not sure if corrected to 20/20. It can’t to too bad because he shoots handguns and rifles better than me.

Contact your local recruiter.to get the correct skinny for questions like that. Web searches can only get you so far.

Hope everyone's weekend gets off to a good start, brew is on so enjoy your first coffee to blow out the cobwebs, not much happening here, just the usual weekend protest and crowded shopping centres, not for me. Have another coffee and a good day. ::tu::

Headed for a nice 72 today. No specific plans for the day other than
the SEC Championship game today. I have zero expectations of Alabama

Yawl have a grand day .... and ROLL TIDE !!

Good morning. This is the start of a very busy weekend for me and just to keep it all interesting, we are in a Winter storm watch that the guessers are pretty sure will soon be a warning. Jane's sister and husband are coming across from Michigan's UP and are going to pass through an area that is supposed to get more than we are here. I'm off this morning to a large gun show in Duluth, then stop on the way home for groceries, chicken feed, and maybe some hardware for one of my kids. This afternoon we are having a surprise retirement party for son Jason. Tomorrow the Air Guards are having an official recognition of this year's retirees and families are invited with proper vetting to get on base. Tomorrow we are installing our new minister with a potluck dinner after. Then I get to take a nap unless the in-laws stick around to wait out the storm. Have a great weekend.____Dave

Sure seems odd not being at work today.
Gad some good coffee this morning.


I ran out of Bahama Blue paint.
And I'm nearly out of clear coat.

So a trip to Cleveland is in the cards.

Good Mornin’, Fellers.
Just waking up in Titusville, Titusville Florida that is. Will be heading west across the St. John’s River to the big town of Christmas, FL to see Miss Joy’s dad at the Cracker Christmas Celebration, an annual old time Florida pioneer history display.
Always good to be with family and friends!
Spending the evening with a fast internet almost makes me envious of living in a more civilized area. Nah.... I’ll take that back, even though DSL is a nightmare.
The cool weather has followed us, it’s 49 here on the east side of the state.
Y’all have a wonderful day!

Top of the morning to you all... ::nod::
Got some running around over in Denton to do this afternoon, but nothing else planned.
So I think I will sit right here and have another cup of coffee. Have a great day and be
a blessing to someone... :D

It's a brisk 29º and sometimes sunny here this morning. I have nothing planned other than wait on delivery of an eBay purchase. Maybe I'll catch a cat nap this afternoon while I wait for the postal carrier to ring my doorbell.

Live, from the Ozarks, a good morning to FCD!

48* with a high of 59* and brisk 24 mph wind gusts. Chores around the house today followed by my wife, Dad and I seeing the Christmas parade tonight in Bolivar, Missouri! Will probably get SONIC for dinner and grab a spot to watch the parade.
Have a great and safe Saturday, folks!

Morning folks, 🌡 58 may make it to the mid 60's .gray ole day with rain expected next couple of days maybe even a storm or two.
Critters are fed and the dishes warshed. The feral cat has let me get to within about ten feet of her, doubt I'll ever get her tamed enough to pet.
Ham and cheddar umlet with a side of bacon and smoked sausage for my morning snack.

Nothing but a trip to the trash/recycle bin planned for today,may watch the Dawgs 🐶 take a bite the elephants 🐘 after a bit. I'm a fan of both but probably lean a little towards the tide. Yawl have a good'un and be careful out there. ::handshake::

The gun show was a success based on the number of J.Rogers thistle tops I got(one) and the number of Buck 110's I got(also one). Pictures posted in Knife Finds. The potluck dinner and pastor instillation for tomorrow are both postponed because they changed out Winter storm watch to a warning with up to a foot of heavy wet snow, and high winds causing whiteouts.____Dave
