Md, bad news. The Brass A$$ in Newport is permanently closing. Horrors! Have to find a new strip joint. Any suggestions?

Thank you. I appreciate it.
The offsides call in soccer is the worst rule in any major sport imo. Get rid of that one and scoring gets more frequent.
I have 2 co-ed softball games tonight in Chickasha OK. Hope they come motivated this week.

Bob Gibson was known for his motivation to win. At the end of his career when he was washed up, a mediocre player homered off him. He never faced that hitter again till an old timers game years later. He hit him in the back with the first pitch. Not a ha ha that is funny pitch, a real pay back pitch.
Hello All,
Busy at it today again but it was My Darlings turn for medical appointments. I think we finished all we needed to do for a bit though... Want to know my work "To do list" the rest of this week??? I cut my youngests back yard after My Darling's medical appointments and xrays that ended about 1230 today. It had grown real tall so I did it to lessen her worry about her dogs getting snake (Copperhead's so I am told, neighbor who has dogs told my daughter but I have not seen those signs but no issues being cautious.) bit.. (The back is done and trimmed.)
Now all I have to do is install the RO (Reverse Osmosis) systems I bought my two girls for their houses for their coming birthdays (October but they need the systems so...). I hope to have that done by Sunday afternoon... (Bought them the APEC ROE50's.) (The kicker is I have to drill the half inch holes in their countertops. (One Quartz, one granite. I just bought the diamond bits but this will be a first.) (Had a guy quote me two hundred for one...Nah... I have that system in my rental that we lived in, in Lorton.
(HA, my new tenant OVER-paid me. I will get it back to him or he can deduct it next time...)
Our HOA had a 4th party today. My Darling attended and I did too for about twenty minutes, then I snuck out and back home...)
I see the light though and I am thankful!!! Enjoy the rest of your day(s)

VH -- End of an era. Or error. I wish I could say I did not know that establishment of which you speak. But I had more than my share of experiences at the Brass *** back in the 1970s. The older brother of my best friend in high school was some sort of fixer or hanger-on for the half-assed gangsters that ran those Newport clubs back in the 70s, so I was there pretty often, which would have disgraced by parents.
As for a new place to hang out, I have to confess that my days in Nudie bars are many, many decades in the past.
Good morning from ATX. Hot and humid.
Went grocery shopping yesterday. $176 Plan on cooking brats and sliders tomorrow.
Happy Friday, y'all.

Good morning everyone.
It's good to catch up here. Sorry to hear about your Mom @KFuqua
Dad and I had a pretty good trip to the lake despite the heat. He goes down a bit now almost each time I see him. We did catch some fish but nothing to get too excited about. First morning out we caught 8 different species of fish while trolling. We don't cast much anymore. I got a lot of work done as well.
As for daytime coons.... it's not the norm but it's also not uncommon. I wouldn't run into the house because of one but I wouldn't try to pet it either. Surprisingly we saw lots of deer and other wildlife out in the middle of the day while at the lake. I
My wife called while I was making the 3 hour drive home Wednesday. My brother and his wife are stopping by for a visit this morning. Sooooo, I had to hit the ground ru..., weedeating. I've spent about 8 hours mowing and weedeating my hillsides in the heat since making it home. I survived.
Enjoy your July 4th weekend!

Morning D-Leaguers!
Hot days ahead. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Won both games last night as the team played well. I still stunk it up at the plate. Trying too hard lately to see if I can get one over the fence. Popping up more because I am putting more effort into my swing without technique. Will have to slow it down a little next week. Oh well, defense was still good for me so... Was asked by a different team last night to play with them on August 2nd at a tournament in Lawton. Turn 69 the day before. I am trying to make it to 70 playing in the regular leagues before hitting the senior's circuit.
Going to walk the monster shortly and then... couch potato day.
You folks enjoy your weekend and God Bless.

Hello All,
I was woke up early by my youngest at just after six. Her car wouldn't start, she was late for work. Then it did start. Oh well, I am thankful. I tried to get angry for not being able to sleep in then I caught myself. (Whew)
Was to be me and My Darling's first day in many weeks that we were not tasked in someway, somewhere...
I just finished a cup of coffee and my devotions. Did I say I am thankful... Many would "love" to have my "troubles"...
Anyway, my scheduled work may push back some, I am trying to figure out my daughters car situation. She has a 2019 Rav4 but it is just not running right... May let her use my wife's Camry for the next couple days so I can check out her car troubles for her though I do not do that as a rule. (She is a nurse and works the 12 hour shifts and works many holidays as well...)
Git-R-Done..... (Yeah, that is my go to...)
You all enjoy this day that I found is many's holiday off. (Always thought you celebrated the 4th on the .....4th...)

Was filling out my water bill numbers for this month so I went out to the front yard to lift the lid off of the area that has the meter to read it. When I went to put my finger in the little hole made for opening the lid, a bunch of tiny spiders (babies) came rushing out. When I opened the lid there where a lot more and webbing covering the entire hole. The mama? Black Widow. I told my wife who hates and has a big fear of spiders. She immediately got up freaking out and got some insect spray and went out to spray all around the outside and inside of the meter area.
Sorry as a former Bug Man it made me laugh.... (Once a bug man, always a bug man....) I did many many spastic spouse treatments for free.... (The little ones like that...) I DO hope you did not suffer a widow bite though... I'd peroxide that area a few times today and let it bubble and fester up like peroxide does... Seriously
Howdy folks. Hot and muggy in the east. I waited a bit long to go on my 4-mile run, and it was already in the mid-80s. Just been lazing around trying to get rehydrated since (we're off today as our 4th holiday.)
Just got a long text from my son. He's out of the fire line of that Ferris Wild Fire, felling trees and helping dig containmnet ditches. Their just sleeping in tents and getting back to it at first light. He'll have some stories to tell whenever we all can get together, probably not til the fall.

Mine would have done the same, but she would have made me do the spraying.
I don't even know what this means. There's a transmitter attached to the top of our meter cover & data goes wirelessly to water company. No human has read our meter in over a decade.
Pitcher. Been pitching for many, many years now. Most do not want to be that close to the batter, but I wear a helmet with face mask, shin guards and a cup so I am pretty safe and have enough meat on me to protect the other areas.
Back in the late seventies and early eighties, there was a pro softball league. Louisville had a team (KY Bourbon maybe?). Before that they had a national rated amueter team . I think it was Jiffy's or something. I met one of their players as his wife was one of my regular customers. He was a very large man. i forget his name. If interested in slow pitch history, Google Bill Gatti. He is one of the all time greats. He played football at UL, then got into softball.
About 3:30 today it was 99 degrees here in the Berg. My son called (police officer) and told us that if we had anything that would blow away, move it, winds in the southern part of the county were 50 plus miles an hour! By the time we got everything square away the wind hit here, temperatures went from 99 to 75 in 45 minutes, then we heard a loud bang and our power went out, a limb out of a tree broke out a hit the lines and snapped a the pole in half! They are working on it now, maybe back on in a hour or so hopefully!! It is so quiet, like when the ice storm hit a few years ago!
Glad you are ok.
Thank you, just checked and they say our power should be restored by 11:30
Good morning everyone
I had a good visit with my brother, SIL, and their 3 year old granddaughter (my great niece). They were really hoping to see a bear, but it was just too hot while they were here. If only they had waited a few more hours before heading home they would have seen this one. It put on a show..... scratching like a dog, climbing the tree, drinking out of one of our garden ponds, and turning over some of our border rocks. We also had another one come through after dark...
Have great 4th of July and sit down and enjoy the day

Storm, have you ever had a bear that needed to be trapped and moved?
Happy 4th folks, and Happy 250th America.
Seems like a blink of the eye since the BiCenntennial. Half a century. I was in the Chugach Mountains of Alaska working on the Trans Alaska Pipeline. There was a dusting of snow up in the mountains that settled on the pipeline, so we pelted each other with snowballs. After the work shift, we drove in a bus from our pipeline camp in GlenAllen to one south of us in Tonsina, and played a softball game well into the evening, as it was light enough to see up until midnight.
My son is working on the line trying to contain this Ferris Wildfire in Colorado, so he'll always remember the 250th.
You all have a good day.

We keep a close watch on them when we're home. The one last night knocked over two plants and a hummingbird feeder.....too dark to see everything it was doing
I've had one (and her 3 juvenile delinquents) that needed to be persuaded to move along and don't come back. She needed persuaded 3 times before the pain in the rear reached her brain.

How are the reflexes now at that close range?
I was mostly a second baseman but could play short and occasionally 3rd. I loved the fielding part of 3rd (ranging far over to the left and stealing the play from short), but that throw would aggravate my "fisherman's elbow". Wish we had some kind of church league or something here while I can still move.
Reflexes are still pretty good, but seeing the ball off of the bat is a little fuzzier than in the past. I get most of the balls hit at me. Had a couple of line drives hit my wrist above my glove in the same place about 2 months apart at the end of last year in a snowball tournament in December and in a February freeze ball tournament. Tried to turn my hand to get the glove on the ball but was a bit too low for the hit and it hit my wrist. Still experience pain on occasion from those hits. I wrap the wrist now for protection. Pinky finger does not close easily now to the ring finger. It takes effort to bring it next to it. Probably nerve damage.
Hello All,
May the 4th be with you!!!!
Me, while I am 100% an American, I came along about three and a half hours after the fourth so..., I have been trying to catch up to be a fourth of July baby ever since...
I was going to do some work today on one of my daughters home and the other daughter after church tomorrow (If the Lord doesn't take me home.) I may just call it a wish now and stick around My Darling and do just enough work here to keep My Darling at bay... (You'd have to understand My Darling to understand what I just typed... )
Anyway, have a Christ blessed fourth and hug your family and your country... We still have a chance... With God's help...
I am thankful!
"God willing and the river don't rise..." In my best John Wayne voice...

Two showers yesterday working all day in the yard, weeding, mulching, pruning, transplanting. It was hot hot hot with an icing of muggy but it was the first full day in my garden in over four weeks. I was loving it!!
Wisconsin brats and great fourth food on deck today with a little soccer viewing. Trying to decide if I like this sport or not.
Happy Birthday Patriots!!!

@ Beatle Bum since you did a sad on my Gibson post. Willie Mays was a friendly talkative guy. Before a Cardinal game, Bob Gibson was taking batting practice. Willie stood behind the backstop trying to chat with Bob. Bob gruffly said, "Leave me alone!" Willie did not. Game time. Willie's first at bat, Bob broke two Willie's ribs with a fast ball.
