If it is determined that only paying members will be allowed to post/visit, then Uno and I will be saying our goodbyes as well. It's been a great ride, pards. Keep up the good work and hope to see you on the other side.

Congrats!!!

Leaving my office for a Dr. appointment this afternoon in Central Florida. With the wind chill, it was 36 degrees.

At least with your weather, folks are too scared to get on the road. It took me better part of two hours to make a 20 minute drive home because the idjits forgot how to drive in the wet......

LOL.........Not having a sense of humor. Uno tells me that all the time. The last time he said that to me, I told him I did indeed have a sense of humor. I married him, didn't I?????

I get accused of that.................A LOT.

Or we will have to charge you a $25.00 late cancellation fee.

I think there may be another facet to this as well. The art of distraction. He makes comments like annexing Greenland or Canada to get the MSM all spooled up and going haywire looking for "the scoop". In the mean time, he's quietly taking care of business that he didn't want the MSM, or anyone else for that matter, meddling in. A way to get things accomplished.

Even legal ones.......

Come on down this way and thaw out. At least we don't have fainting iguanas here...........

Glad to see you back, UB. Been a bit too quiet here without you. Hope you are well and all is good in your world.

I hope the events this image indicates didn't come to fruition. This the camera for the Mt. Wilson observatory in CA, outside of Pasadena. The picture was taken at 3:00 am yesterday.

I've been following him on IG for a while. Good dude.

IF you are so inclined, this month's Fire Department Coffee bundle supports the Orange County Fire Authority Benevolent Fund. Their coffee is really top notch and the FD Association they are featuring is close to my heart. More on the Benevolent Fund. This notice is for information only. I am not intending to solicit in any way.

We have friends and family not too far from the fires. We're keeping in close touch with them. Prayers they won't need to evacuate.

Thanks for the tip. My glass cook top has one burner that suddenly decided to become insanely hot. It never used to do that. I will have to see if the repair guy can come out and look at it.....

A fun little ditty.

Port St. Lucie is fairly close to where I live. We'll have to see if we can catch a Cards pre-season game this year.

I like them quite a bit. They also work well as poultry sheers, AS LONG AS I CAN KEEP UNO FROM CUTTING PACKAGING WITH THEM........

Mine do. Only a couple of years old. https://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Pull-Apart-Kitchen-Shears-5558-1/dp/B00K8503NQ?pd_rd_w=OqefH&content-id=amzn1.sym.ea1d9533-fbb7-4608-bb6f-bfdceb6f6336&pf_rd_p=ea1d9533-fbb7-4608-bb6f-bfdceb6f6336&pf_rd_r=HESFET9Y858324H69HZZ&pd_rd_wg=HaARn&pd_rd_r=76c92dd0-ac5f-4717-805b-519c1fb2c468&ref_=sspa_dk_detail_1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1

Yes, even we're expecting temperatures to be at or below freezing here. Rumor is the iguana's will die before falling out of the trees................Watch out Miami..........

When I moved to St. Louis by myself in 2013, I knew I was going to get my CCW and a pistol for my protection. I lived in a marginal area and wanted to make sure I could handle my own. I won't bore you with morons who tried to sell me a gun so big and heavy you couldn't conceal it in a duffel bag, or the clowns that treated me like I was inexperienced and had no idea how to shoot or what I needed. Let it suffice to say I finally found a gun shop that listened to me and treated me with politeness and respect. I purchased a couple of handguns from them for that very reason.

All the time. It rains A LOT here in Florida. The walk between my office and my car is great, close to a quarter mile. If I tried the hat or hood method, I would be soaked by the time I got to my car.

I've said this before, we love our Sheriff Ivey!!! (He was just re-elected in a land-slide victory........again!!!) I remember trying to come home while that was in progress. I-95, which was less than a quarter mile from the scene, was closed for a period because of the incident. He has a VERY loyal following here. Uno and I marched in an anti-covid march with him and some of his deputies. You could see the respect and admiration his officers have for him.

Why thank you for remembering.
