Morning all,beautiful morning here,,in the 40s with a bright Sun a rising ,should get close to 70 today.
Youngest Sister got in last night from Washington State. Will be heading to See her at our Moms place. She’ll be staying there for a week then flying back.Will be planning on some cookouts,small gatherings outside to visit, and some time with Mom and Sister.
Got out in the woods last night, checking out the tree stands ,sure is a lot of sign ,especially down at Creek bottom . Not much for Buck sign though, no rubs or scrapes, but it is early. Then ,of course on the way home at about Dark a 8 point jumps out in front of us ,close enough to see the white in his eyes. If he’s around next week may have to go after him ,he was a dandy.
Been working our storage shed, cleaning that out, Father in law needs a place to store his 48 International pickup. And could use more room in work shop ,so will use storage shed for things like riding mower,skid steer, motorcycles,etc. instead of cramming everything in one place.
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your day.

If you get a chance.. Snap a few pics of the 48.. Thanks..
John

Good Morning Everyone!!!
It's a beautiful day here and I believe I just might take a couple of shooters and go to the range this afternoon.
Had to take my little buddy Griffin to the vet yesterday, because he had some kind of rash that was driving
him crazy. Me too just watching him scratch. He got a shot and some medicine and is much better this
morning. Everyone have a blessed day and please be safe.

Good morning everyone
Hey Ray, I’m so glad the Bride is getting the treatment she needs. I went for my first mammo last year. Tell your ladies it’s not that bad, and it’s for sure worth it. I lost my cousin Nancy to breast cancer a couple of years ago. She was younger than me.
Boy, is it ever foggy here! I couldn’t see the river from the train.
Where I am is the delta of the Fraser River, one of the biggest in Canada. It’s not Mississippi wise, but right here at the bend, it looks more like a lake.
When I was a teenager, the rocks under the old cannery had a layer of grunge that I think was toilet paper. It’s much cleaner now but you still can’t swim in it, at least not down here. It’s got a wicked current anyway. The fishing is great. We get salmon of course and the most massive sturgeon have come from right here.
Well, gotta go.
Have a good and safe day everyone

[Just Plain Dave]

Morning y'all.
Coffee was good.
Did one of my make work chores and got 4 hours and a bit today.
Another mouse is done.
Supposed to get some mouse killer bait tomorrow.
Got to figure out how to keep it and the dogs apart.

Mornin' Y'all

A request was made (sorta') for a hump day opening .. .. ..

Kinda pitiful that all I'm known for here is a silly catchphrase


Any who ... pot has sang its song, and FCD springs to life one mo' time.
Two nights back at work, then the wife wants to attend a wedding this weekend.
Beach wedding, on the east side of a hurricane ... sounds fun, don't it .

Go flog your camel !!

[DM11]

Mornin Chris, 59-88 and sunny. Philip got that Queen Jack in my pocket today. Happy trails!

[treefarmer]

Good Mornin', Chris and David! Chris, in addition to being known for your silly catchphrase, "hump day", you could also known as the feller that don't check his E-mail. Glad to see you're posting once again and you need to check out the great ol' knife that David mentioned, it's a Queen City Jack.
Keeping an eye on the Delta Hurricane, it has apparently lost a bit of wind speed overnight as it is moving onto the Yucatan Peninsula. Steering currents seem to have it going ashore several states west of us. I've become a bit gun shy about hurricanes for some reason. Watched a video last night on one of the weather station concerning Hurricane Michael and it still tightens my gut. The video footage had comments from Tyndall Air Force personnel who rode it out. One of the Airmen said as they were monitoring the storm, the wind was 165 mph and when it blew their weather station apart! Y'all don't forget to pray for the folks who are and will be enduring this one.
70 degrees this morning and a clear radar so far. We saw 89 yesterday for the high.
Almost dry enough to fluff up some food plot dirt, almost...
Y'all have a great Wednesday!

Mornin guys and gal. Another day in paradise here. Temp is 62º and it'll get into the high 80s this afternoon. I will make return trip to the dermo doc this afternoon to have surgery on a small skin cancer on my forehead. That should break up the monotony of the afternoon. It is all part of gettin' old I guess.
Hope your day is a good one.

Ray

[Quick Steel]

Hi everyone. Ray, glad you discovered and are taking care of that bit of skin cancer. Should be easy peasy. Prayer for that.

61 going to 78. Sunny.

Have to get gas and groceries. Hope your day is a good one.

[djknife13]

Good morning. WE are having summer again with 65 to 70 degrees and our painting job is getting done. Now all we need is two or three more months to get caught up on work. My Dr. appt. went good yesterday and it appears my hernia is holding even if it appears to me to not. The Dr. said it may hurt a little when I work a little harder than I probably should for my age and that any surgery can have some scar tissue that can cause some discomfort for some time. Back to the salt mines for me. have a great Wednesday.____Dave

[jerryd6818]

Been up since 0500. Set the trash out for pickup and that's about the high-lite of my day. Ya notice they named them things Her-icanes and not Him-icanes. Ruminate on the meaning of that.

[Ripster]

Morning all, good coffee this morning. Weather is warming to the 60/70 s, sunny and no wind . Good day to be outside maybe go for a motorcycle ride this morning . Then head over to Moms house to visit with youngest sibling ,my sister Lori is in town for a week. Haven’t seen her in some years, so got a bit of catching up to do. Mom is extremely happy as this is the first time we will be together along with our two other brothers. So today is full, and should be good day.

Ray, glad to hear your taking care is of those things ,hope your wife’s therapy is done it’s trick
Philip , sounds like you are going to be spared the brunt of the weather, as you said let’s pray for those in the path of this storm ,and will stay safe.
And hope you have a great day everyone, and watch your back out there.

PS morning Jerry ,Dave andQS , see you slid in while getting me another coffee.
Jerry , I’ll try not to have too many milk bones this morning, wouldn’t want to tick someone off again now would I ? ??

[jmh58]

Off to our whats becoming a weekly thing with Brandy 'Woods Wander" today !!! Supposed to go into the middle 70s.. Then this evening off to the Grandsons to watch him as his mom/dad are having a night out.. I love that little guy!!
John

[jerryd6818]

Jerry , I’ll try not to have too many milk bones this morning, wouldn’t want to tick someone off again now would I ? ??

Y'all have started calling us crayon eaters and since the Army has forever been referred to as "Doggies", thus the "milk-bone" reference. Get it? Huh? Huh? (Geez, ya gotta 'splain everthin' to Doggies)

Now, that said, if I have offended you, I apologize. From my end it was just more of that inter-service rivalry & name calling in good fun that's gone on forever. No offence intended.

If you hang around here long enough you'll find that A.) I'm a motor mouth, and B.) I think I'm funny. So if you just keep that in mind my offensive statements will not be so offensive.

He's not kidding either, but he's our Marine and we put up with him.
Good Morning Everyone!!!
I've got to go see the darn eye doctor in a bit, just a follow up appt.
Everyone have a blessed day and please be safe, you too Larry.

[zoogirl]

Good morning everyone
I got home last night to find my landlord there, pulling the engine of the old truck. He told me that Bylaw wants to talk to him and he thinks it might be about my suite, which isn’t quite legal.
Then I went inside and discovered that I had water all over the bathroom floor, again, because the sewer burped. It’s not as bad as usual, but not good.
Between those two and the rats, it’s time to move.
Ray, my dad had skin cancers, courtesy of riding a forklift outside, shirtless, way before Safety was ever heard of. He just got the removed with no further trouble. The docs are pretty slick at it.
Stay out of the way of the weather, fellas!
Have a good and safe day everyone!

[Louisville.Boy1947]

Paladin good luck with the skin cancer surgery. It normally is a simple procedure without comlications. Stay positive, healthy and safe.

Thanks for the good wishes everyone. I really appreciate them. I am kind of an old hand at these since I spent all my growing up years working at a swimming pool. That was way before anyone ever heard of any sort of sun protection.

Thanks again,
Ray

[Just Plain Dave]

Morning y'all.
Got two fairly large Mice overnight and a small one when I got home.
Got to a few minutes under 5 hours with Marquee and such.
Trish expects the fixer to come today.
We'll see.
Other than that nothing much to report.

[bighomer]

Morning, almost noontime neighbors.54 deg. was the low heading to the low 80's. Got all the critters fed including the boss and me. Got my paper work done for my annual physical tomorrow, the front patio vacuumed and I'm gonna kill a few weeds and do a little vermin poisoning. Maybe some weed whacking if l don't play out. Hope yawl have a good'un and be safe

[WillyCamaro]

Sent a little prayer up too on yonder, for you Ray, and your Dad Zoo.
Good vibes!
