Happy Birthday David. Hope you had a good one. Good Evening. 2035, clear, 45* with 69% humidity. Forecast low is 43* for tonight and tomorrow's high is 60*. The Noles pulled out an ugly win with a teardrop at the buzzer. Not good for my heart. Larro

I recorded the whole show on a DVD a while back. It was a BBC show from the 70's call The Old Grey Whistle Test. They had a lot of big name folks on, like Skynyrd, and Rod Stewart and Ron Wood when they were with Faces. If you ever see it VH1C or any of the other old music channels you should...

I had forgot about this thread. Thanks for bumping it up. Last week I added a cat climbing tree to the flowerbed. It was left after a rustic themed wedding at work. But it is a little wobbly. Too wobbly for hanging pots from the limbs. So when I get to the woods, I will cut a dead Cedar and bury...

Drew, maybe you need to crank up some early Neil Young. This one would be a good start. Remind me to tell you about the dream I had featuring Klipsch speakers. One of these days I'm going to write a book about my dreams. I have some crazy ones. Larro

Good Morning. 0900, sunny, 46*, 55% humidity, 9mph NNW wind with 14mph gust. Forecast high of 54*. After reading all you guy's posts I know I shouldn't complain, but it's cold this morning. I thought I was going to freeze when I went out back to feed the dog. She wanted to play, and all I wanted...

Good Morning. 0825, overcast, 64* with 95% humidity. Forecast high of 71* with 10% chance of rain. Rain chances for today were listed as 50% yesterday. The reason I care about that, there is an outside wedding at the bride's house in Clarksville that booked the Civic Center as a backup in case...

I have one of them, also without the scope. My daddy was a Longshoreman, and for years they were shipping scrap from cut up WWII ships. One of the scrappers found the weapon on a ship and sold it to Daddy. It is a pretty good gun, but the ammo isn't cheap. I haven't shot it in years. Larro

Timothy Eugene Lar^*$#@ was what my mother and father named me. My daddy was named Eugene and went by Gene, but I'm not sure where the Timothy came from. I picked up Larro {the} Darro in the Navy, and it kind of stuck. {Larro is a play on my last name} I can tell how long folks have known me by...

Good Morning. 1030, overcast, 66* with 89% humidity. Forecast high of 79* with 20% chance of rain. Going in early today to let my boss start her weekend early. {and to give me more hours} We have lawyers in the building today. I will wait till they leave to spray the room with Lysol.:D Just...

Good Morning. 0710, overcast, 52* with 90% humidity. Forecast high of 72* and mostly cloudy. No real plans for the day. I will just take it as it comes. But I had better enjoy the quiet whie I can. I have a piano recital in one end of the building, and the Pee-Wee and Tiny Mite cheerleader...

Good Afternoon. 1300, sunny, 68* with 69% humidity. Forecast high of 70* with a 30% chance of rain. My cousin was helping me again this morning. He has paid for the old truck and the battery I bought for him, so this will be his last day for a while. We got the newly cleaned off back porch...

I like the work that Habitat for Humanity does. When I donate money, it is usually to them. But you can't beat the Red Cross for a hot meal and a place to lay your head when you have lost everything. Larro

Good Morning. 0845, sunny, 53* with 68% humidity. Forecast call for a high of 68* with a few clouds, but no chance of rain. I drove through light rain going to Panama City yesterday, and heavy rain coming back home, but no real thunderstorms. For the rest of the week highs are in the 70's, lows...

Good Morning. 0720, overcast, 71* with 95% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 81* with 70% chance of thunderstorms. Anytime it is this hot this late in the year you know bad weather is just around the corner. I'm going to Panama City this morning to take Mamma to the doctor, and a couple of...

Good Morning. 1025, cloudy, 72* with 88% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 79* with a 50% chance of rain. I've got to be at work at noon, so Margie is cooking an early lunch for us. Today is a big day for racing fans. The Cup drivers decide their championship in Homestead. And the F1 race...

David, the gate and fence look good. I see what you mean about it not being level. I bet it was a challenge to get it all together. Larro

Good Morning. 0900, sunny, 64* with 89% humidity. Forecast high of 77* with a 20% chance of rain. My early event at work cancelled, so I don't have to go in until after lunch. We have a ton of leftovers, so no need to cook. But Margie is fixing a broccoli salad.:licking: Drew, it is good to...

Nice picture Dave. Twenty six years ago when I worked for a seed farmer near Blountstown, we had beavers in the creek that cut through the farm. The land was already low, so when they would build their dam up higher, more of the fields were unusable. Many a day I used rakes and an ax to tear...

I walked over to my shooting house to spread some corn and change out the SD card. The bucks are staying out of sight, even at night. They must have checked their calendar and seen bow season has started. :laughing: I had seen a couple of blurry pictures of our fox squirrel before today, but...

Good Morning. 0900, heavy clouds, 59* with 90% humidity. Forecast high of 68* with 60% chance of rain. The radar shows rain all around us, with plenty more out in the gulf. But it has washed the cold out of the forecast. Next Tuesday is the next time we are supposed to get down in the 30's...

Good Morning. 0930, sunny, 37* with 73% humidity. Forecast high of 66* with no chance of rain. There was no frost when I got up at 0800, so I called Margie and ask her if she had seen any. She said there was a good frost on the car and roofs, but not on the ground. It is already much nicer out...

Drew, I didn't have a fur coat, but when I had to go drip the water at our old house, I was bundled up pretty good. The cold weather does make the Gators slow and sluggish. Just tune in to ABC or ESPN two weeks from this Saturday and you can see it happen at the Swamp in Gainesville.:D It is...

Good Morning. 0740, clear, 39* with 65% humidity. Forecast high of 55*. There wasn't a frost this morning. It didn't get quite as low as forecast, and there was a good wind blowing too. Tonight's forecast low is 28*. If the wind lays, we might see our first frost. I have plenty of inside work to...

Good evening. 1930, 57*, 66% humidity with 14mph N wind. Low of 32* forecast. The last couple of weeks the flower bed has been blooming like crazy. I guess this frost tonight will take care of that. Here is a picture of them from yesterday. Drew, we let the younger folks strip down and go in...

A couple of the kittens. And a last look at this year's flowers. Frost tonight. Larro

I was reading fast and skipped right over this part of your post. We may get a frost tonight, and the high will only be in the 50's tomorrow. Burrrrrr. If it gets too cold for you up there, we do have electricity and a septic tank at our camp on Ten Mile Creek. The ground water level has gone...

Good Morning. 0945, sunny, 59* with 81% humidity. Forecast for high of 73* and low of 37*. We are right on the edge of the frost warning area. But if we don't get it tonight, we will tomorrow. I will run up to Marianna later this morning. Need corn for the deer and will hit all the thrift stores...

Glad to hear the good report 300UGUY. Best of luck for your wife's treatment. Larro

A big thank you to all the Vets out there. I think TBN has a high percent of Vets. Like Jim, I did a hitch in the Navy. I was lucky that I served in peace time. The real heroes were the men like my father and FIL who left their families behind and went to war. My father was shot twice and taken...

Good Morning. 0920, partly cloudy, 62* with 96% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 75 with 20% chance of rain. I sat in the shooting house for an hour this morning, but didn't see anything. I changed out the SD card on the game camera, but there were no pictures on it. When I get in from...

Good Morning. 0900, partly cloudy, 59* with 72% humidity. Forecast high of 72* with no chance of rain. It is warmer today, and there is less wind. Yesterday was pretty raw. {for NW Florida} Alright, let me start over. {my cousin stopped by and was in a talking mood} 0925, 61* with 69% humidity...

I had to give up drinking years ago. I had a terrible truth telling problem. And the olive green stove and oven look new. They are not junk. And the other one is the six burner stove we took out of the Civic Center when we upgraded all the kitchen equipment a few years back. Larro And...

You guys are not helping me any here. All the wood burning stuff will go in the screened part. And I do have a couple of deep fat fryers in one of the sheds, or maybe they are at one of the camps. I know I have two electric stove tops and one electric oven at the river camp. Now don't any of you...

Two different bucks were on my game camera this time. A nice nine point, and a skinny four {just barely} point. That makes six I have seen so far. I sat in the shooting house for a little bit this morning, but it was too windy to do anything. Larro

Space is the big thing. We have an open floorplan, with living room, dining room and kitchen all together. We have already closed in part of the back porch for kitchen storage, and put in a big cabinet/bookshelf unit in the living room for pots and pans, and cookbook storage. But there no room...

Good Morning. 0650, clear, 45* with 63% humidity. Forecast high of 68* with no chance of rain. I saw two more bucks on my game camera, a 9 and a 4 point. If I can bundle up enough, I will go spend an hour in the shooting house. Not sure what I will do the rest of the day. Larro

I'm hoping attention is all I will be paying. I'm trying to hold out for an outside kitchen. It might be cheaper starting fresh than knocking down walls. Larro

Oh yea. Go Tree!!! Like Seminoles everywhere, I am rooting for Stanford to whip the Ducks. They just got a TD, so they are off to a good start. The next three hours will decide who is in the National Championship Game. Larro

Good evening. 2015, clear, 56* with 78% humidity. Forecast low of 43*. Looks like we are going to have some cold weather for the weekend. I ended up working on the back porch today. I got 75% of the stuff moved to the shed. Most of what is left is three tables. I will have to make room for them...

300UGUY, prayers for you and your wife. With all the modern advances in medicine, the outcomes are better than just a few years ago. You have a lot of folks on here pulling for you guys. Larro

I had to Google refractory cement. It might do the trick. We want to build an outside kitchen {cook shed in the local lingo} in a couple of years, and I wanted to put the woodstove in the screened in part of it. Maybe by the time we get started on the cook shed, I'll have patched the stove...

Good Morning. 0700, overcast, 60* with 93% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 81* with a 20% chance of rain. I need to put water seal on the back deck, but I think I'll give it one more day to dry. {if we get through today without rain} Drew, hang in there buddy. Larro

Earlier tonight when I was walking the trash out to the road, the moon and the Evening Star were showing through patches of cloud. When I got back with the camera they were hid. I got a peek at them a couple of times, but not what I wanted. Since I was out there, I went ahead and shot what was...

That one is in good shape. Mine is showing too much daylight to use it for cooking. I'll try to find the other brace and get it put together. We do have a working stove at our creek camp, but it isn't that fancy. When Mamma cooks on it, she likes to use corncobs for fuel. She says they are...

Dave, you are right. I had a PM telling me the same thing. There was another piece that I wasn't sure went with the stove. Now that I know it does, I will clean it up and see if I can put it all together. It will take a few nuts and bolts to mount the doors. Larro

Good Morning. 1130, mostly cloudy, 72* with 78% humidity. Forecast high of 81* with partly cloudy skies. I just got my internet up. I put in a call to Fairpoint {my phone Co} and waited 15 minutes on hold. I have a crew coming in to work on the screws in the roof and a few other odd jobs that I...

Good Morning. 0610, clear, 53* with 83% humidity. Forecast high of 73* with a few clouds. We are also having a small city election today {Blountstown}. The Civic Center is the only polling place open. I don't work the polls anymore, but I will go into work a little early. Although if early...

Good Morning. 0700, clear, 51* with 79% humidity. Forecast high of 71 with a few clouds. My cousin is coming to work this morning. I think we will work on hauling a few bulky things from the sheds at the old place I didn't want to try moving by myself. Some old outboards, chainsaws and a...

Good Morning. 0725, sunny, 50* with 95% humidity. Forecast high of 72*. I have a family reunion at work today. They have been coming this same weekend for at least the 22 years I have been there. It will be bitter sweet in that the man who was in charge died two weeks ago. I have talked to his...

Good Morning. Sunny, 57* with 78% humidity. Forecast high of 75* with no chance of rain. I don't have to go into work until after lunch today. We have the Saddle Club banquet tonight. The place will be full of young cowboys and cowgirls, and their families. Lots of ten gallon hats and boots. I...

I hadn't checked the game camera in a couple of weeks. This morning I changed out the SD card and had 4400 pictures. Most of them were does and coons eating corn at night, but I had about a hundred of these guys. Three nice bucks and a spike. I saw a lot of these twins, too. Corn is alright...

Good Morning. 0825, sprinkles, 73* with 99% humidity. Forecast high of 79* with 90% chance of thunderstorms. The rain should be over by morning, then we will have a few days of great weather. Highs in the low 70's and lows in the 40's. The Sheriff's Department is having training today at work...

Don, just make sure you really like it before you buy your Subaru. From what I hear, you will be driving it a long, long time. I looked hard at the Outback, but got a deal I couldn't turn down on the Camry. The one drawback {for me} is the higher revs on Subaru's means more engine noise. Larro

Good Morning. 0700, clear, 64* with 97% humidity. Forecast high of 82 with a 20% chance of rain. All you folks in Texas are getting it by the bucketfuls this morning. Stay safe. Another day of office relief for me. We used to do a lot of grant work, and you have to keep the files for a certain...

Dave, I see Boston pulled it out. Congrats. Hope you feel better. Larro

Another Larro Ranchero sunset. The sun just keeps going down, at least once a day. Larro

Good Morning. 1125, sunny, 77* with 49% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 81* with no chance of rain. This is the lowest I can remember the humidity being in a long time. And I have office relief this morning. I'm having to look at this fine day through the window. The phone hasn't rang at...

Good Evening. 1900, 62* with 91% humidity. Our high today was 82* and the low is supposed to be 55*. Did a little more pressure washing this morning, then went to Marianna this afternoon. Picked up another pawnshop arrow and a couple more arrowheads. Call me cheap, but $13 for an arrow and $10...

Good Afternoon. 1630, sunny, 64* with 67% humidity. The high was in the upper 70's today, and tonight's low is going to be in the mid 50's. Looks like the little cold snap is over for now. My cousin is back from south Florida and he worked on pressure washing the back deck this morning while I...

I watched the race today. Even stayed awake for the whole thing. Seeing the 24 in Victory Lane was like old times. It is hard to believe he has been in Cup racing for 20 years. I remember when the 'Wonder Boy' was a skinny 22 year old kid with a skinnier mustache, winning his first race, the '95...

I took down the garden fence a few weeks ago to till up the melons. It seemed like the deer found the peppers that same night. {you can see all the deer tracks in the dirt on each side of the peppers} The plants on the west end of the rows don't have any leaves left, yet the peppers are still...

Wow! That would just about make it worth getting up early. Larro

Nice low light picture. I haven't tried any that late, but this was sunset at the Larro Ranchero a few days ago. It is a good time of day. Larro

Good Morning. 1030, sunny, 55* with 72% humidity. Forecast high has been bumped up to 70* with no chance of rain. It was 48* at daylight when I went to sit in my shooting house. I know that isn't as cold as further north, but I about froze the two hours I was out. All I saw was two very small...

Good Evening. 2120, 49* with 73% humidity. Forecast low is 37*, by far the coldest of the season. I wonder if the deer would notice if I put a wood heater in my shooting house? Larro

You will have to be careful not to step on the little tractor with the big ones. It would hurt it.:) I have that same model tiller. I got it when I bought my B7500. It does a good job for what I use it for. A little garden and food plots. Larro

Daugen, my sister and niece both have I-phones so they can Face Time {see each other when they use the phone}. Little Johnny, my sister's grandson is 2, but he is so used to the Face Time, that when he is talking to folks with regular phones, he will still hold up his toy tractors and trucks for...

Good Morning. 1115, clear and windy, 60* with 67% humidity. There is a chance of patchy frost tonight in low lying areas. I've got to run back to Marianna today. My two bows were right where they were supposed to be, but I couldn't find any of my arrows. It would be tempting fate to go hunting...

Double steal followed by double errors. Up til then they looked pretty good. That is why they play seven games. Larro

I forgot to say good evening. So, Good Evening. 1935, 59* with 83% humidity. Low tonight is forecast as 46* with no chance of rain. High's tomorrow and Saturday are supposed to be in the mid 60's with tomorrow night's low down to 41*. I had better go put a blanket in my shooting house tomorrow...

Roy, it also got your attention when they turned off the mist hose to let you feel how hot the fire really is. It is amazing how good an umbrella of water is at shielding you from the heat. Larro

Back when I was serving on the USS Saipan, they used this film to show what could happen if you didn't pay attention during Fire Fighting Training. During my training we had to go into spaces with fuel oil fires burning in the bilges. Also had to shore up broken pipes in neck deep water. Both of...

Good Morning. 0700, clear, 53* with 92% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 75* with no chance of rain. I guess I'll be getting back to the pressure washing this morning when it warms up. Still kind of cool out yet. Larro

Sunset at the Larro Ranchero. Sitting here at my laptop, I saw this out the door and went to see if I could do it justice. It looked better in real life. Good Evening. 1900, sprinkling rain, 69* with 93% humidity. Forecast low for tonight is 54* with 30% chance of rain. We had light rain all...

Drew, like most folks, I like the backstrap best. I like it smother fried. And deer sausage {with a little pork mixed in} is always good. But back when I was single and didn't have anyone to teach me better, I would keep a ham, bone and all, in the freezer. Me and my friends would flake off...

Good Evening. 1940, clear, 67* with 89% humidity. Tonight's forecast low is 63* with 20% chance of rain. It will be cooling off later in the week. Down to 46* Wednesday and Thursday, and 43* on Friday. Saturday is the first day of bow season, and I just got my stamp this week. The cooler weather...

I forgot to mention the excitement at work last night. There was a little cotton mouth in one of the flowerbeds. The cleaning man had seen him during the day, but we hadn't been able to find him. When the ladies getting ready for the wedding had the front doors open, he went out with them...

Good Morning. 0610, steady rain, 68* with 95% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 82* with a 40% chance of rain. I just looked on Wundermap, and this is the only rain within 25 miles. It is less than a mile wide and ten miles long, but is coming right over the house. Today is Goat Day in...

I mowed the graveyard yesterday with the Husqvara, and did the trimming with my old Solo trimmer. I'm trying to get all the goody out of the old blades I can before changing them. But I have just about wore them out, so I went ahead and cut down the tall weeds that had grown up in the new...

Good Evening. 1800, cloudy, 78* with 75% humidity. Forecast low of 66* with 20% chance of thunderstorms. I mowed and trimmed the graveyard yesterday. Since the blades on the Husqvarna were old and about wore out, I went ahead and mowed the tall weeds in the new part. Back when my cousin's...

If it is dark out, the fact he glows in the dark will be a big help. :) Larro

Good Morning. 0720, clear, 58* with 93% humidity. Forecast high of 84* with no chance of rain. Happy birthday Buppies. {attaboy!!!!!!! It won't be long before you can just sit back and pull in that SS $$} The other day when you were telling us it was coming up, I didn't realize you shared a...

Good Afternoon. 1630, overcast, 80* with 66% humidity. Forecast low of 63* with no chance of rain. I ended up pressure washing yesterday after all. I was going to run one tank of gas through it to get the oil hot before I changed it. But after I got the oil changed, I went back to it. It's kind...

Good Morning. 0635, clear, 63* with 91% humidity. Forecast high of 82* with no chance of rain. Yesterday afternoon when we came out of Sam's Club, the car said it was 104*. As we drove toward home, it gradually dropped down to 85*. That shows the wonder of asphalt. I'm up early {for me}, but...

Good Evening. 2030, clear, 69* with 85% humidity. Forecast low of 61* with no chance of rain. We spent the day in Panama City. Then I slept through the second half of the F1 race. I'm just now getting online. Congrats to Wayne and Ron. Atta boy to Buppies on his upcoming 60th birthday. David...

With Duke and BC coming up, you guys have a real chance of being 7-0 in league play when you make the trip to Corral Gables. That should be a good game. Larro

I ended up watching The Ball Coach and his Gamecocks cleanup the field with the Razorbacks. I like Spurrier a lot more now that he isn't in Gainesville. He has always been a good coach. I'm just glad that these days the Noles don't have to play a team he has coached. I would like to watch the...

A Hokie is one of those birds that does not exist in nature. It might be a cross between a turkey and a hawk, but that is just a guess. Larro

Dave, I only break out the chainsaw on big trees. I do most of my tree trimming and brush clearing with ax, hand saw, loppers and nippers. I even have a hand pole saw that I prefer over my Weedeater pole saw. I just look at it like going to the gym, just without the $$ spent and all the sweaty...

Good Morning. 0900, clear, 65* with 94% humidity. {car said it was 60* at 0645 on the way to work} Forecast is for a high of 84* with no chance of rain. Today's wedding is an early one, and they are doing their own cleanup. I do have to set up after they leave for a Banking Conference on...

He was just testing us to see if we really read the whole post or just skimmed over it. I must admit that I missed the **** the first time through. Larro

Almost every time I get the Spanish omelette, which is cooked with bacon, ham, peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms, and has a Spanish sauce with more peppers that you pour on top of it. I always mix it up with grits to help cool the peppers off a little. But since I have been watching my...

Good Afternoon. 1500, partly cloudy, 82* with 56% humidity. Tonight's forecast is for a low of 57* with no chance of rain. Well I got my sister to the airport in Panama City, but it was not without a little excitement. Last night when I double checked on our leaving time, I heard 0830, and she...

Good Morning. 0640, clear, 56* with 93% humidity. Forecast high of 82* with no chance of rain. This is the coolest morning so far. My cousin is coming back this morning to work. He is almost halfway to paying off the old truck. It has been good having some help. I may work him a day a week even...

Liberty Belle Jr. She was named for her grandmother. Here is a picture of Liberty Belle {on the left} and her un-named daughter. Larro

Jay, I like your fence with the flower boxes on it. Also the flowerbed around the stump. 11 years ago when we started to build, there were two oaks close to where the front porch was going to be. I cut the one that was leaning toward the house site, and we put in a flowerbed around the stump...

Jim, I hope all goes well with your treatment. And that was a good thing you did for your neighbor. When Cedar, our Chow died about 7 or 8 years ago, we planted a red cedar tree over her grave. Every morning when I go out to pet Mocha, our Chocolate Lab, I see the Cedar tree just over the...

Good Morning. 1030, overcast, 65* with 85% humidity. Forecast high of 81* with no chance of rain. Fall got to NW Florida today. There is a 9 mph NE wind, and I have turned off the AC and opened all the windows on the north side of the house. {my cousin is pressure washing the back side} It sure...

Guys, my boss took a long lunch, then came back to work the rest of the afternoon. She said she felt better by the time I got there. She has high blood pressure and low sugar. She has just started back going to the doctor after two or three years of ignoring her problems. They still don't have...

Good Afternoon. 1320, sunny, 78* with 78% humidity. Forecast calls for a high of 84* with 30% chance of rain, and a low of 61*. My boss was feeling under the weather, so I came in early. She was having tightness in her chest, and there is a history of heart problems in her family. {it was her...

Great looking place Bill. We have a five acre natural pond a mile from our house, but it has been dry more than it's held water the last few years. It used to be full of largemouth bass. Now we would be lucky to catch a few stump knockers. While we don't live in what I call the woods, we do...

Good Afternoon. 1615, mostly cloudy, 78* with 82% humidity. Forecast low of 63* tonight with 20% chance of rain. My cousin is moving up here from South Florida, and he is wanting to buy my old Jeep pickup. I'm letting him work it off, and today was his first day. We did four hours of yard work...

Dave, it's a good thing you live in Maine. Those dogs would overheat down here. My sister brought her Husky with her when she moved from Colorado Springs, and he had to have a Florida haircut just to get by. When he wasn't in the creek, he was laying on the AC vent. Larro

Good Afternoon. 1500, light rain, 73* with 93% humidity. Forecast high of 86* with 60% chance of rain. TD Karen died a slow lingering death down in the Gulf. So far today we have got a little over half an inch of rain from her remnants. I had a late start at work today. That, along with the work...

When the Saipan was down in Cuba for GitMo, we bought cheap beer on base {can't remember the brand after all these years} for $4 a case. Since it had sat in a hot storage shed for months, it was already flat when you popped the top. But when you were laying in the surf drinking it, it was plenty...

I have read this entire thread and haven't seen an extreme closeup of a petite 24 year old girl with her top up. So I figured I would post one. {She is showing her age a little, but still has a pretty good shape} If you are not at least 18, you might want to look away. Larro

Good Morning. 0930, clear, 77* with 88% humidity. Forecast high is 88* with 30% chance of rain. TS Karen is getting weaker. Looks like it might be TD Karen by the time it crossed the coast near the Florida/Alabama line tomorrow evening. I have another wedding at work today. Three of the four...

I got the oil plug washer for the tiller from the part's house. Cost $1.98 for three. I would hate to guess what it would have been from Kabota. Yesterday before I went in to work, I got my food plots raked, {by hand} spread some 13-13-13, tilled it in, spread rye grass seed, then used the old...

Good Morning. 0920, sunny, 76* with 88% humidity. Forecast high of 90* with 20% chance of rain. It looks like TS Karen will be touching land around the mouth of the Mississippi River about midnight Saturday night, then coming ashore between Mobile and Pensacola during the day on Sunday. Since I...

Good Morning. 0700, clear, 66* with 92% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 86 with no chance of rain. I'm going to get my food plots in today. I need to rake the pinestraw off them, scatter some triple 13 and till it in. Then broadcast the ryegrass seeds and rake them in. And I have to get it...

I was walking the trash out to the road. When I saw the sunset I ran back to the house and got the camera. I took about thirty pictures to get a few good ones. Remember when you had to pay through the nose to get film developed?

We picked peppers after supper. I had taken down the garden fence to till up the melons, and the deer have cropped most of the leaves off lots of the pepper plants. But they are still full of peppers. Here is what we got tonight.

Good Evening. 1925, clear, {moony} 75* with 85% humidity. Tonight's forecast low is 66* with no chance of rain. We had a good looking day here. I sharpened the blades on the Husqvarna rider, but they were so bad I went ahead and picked up a new set. {Blankity blank sand} Also got some 90wt oil...

Ran up to Marianna this afternoon. I stopped at two shopping centers looking for Radio Shack, and when I ask in one of the stores, I found out they had closed. I guess I don't get into the electronic stores very often. That is two that were closed and I didn't know it. But I did find some switch...

Good Morning. 0915, sunny, 72* with 84% humidity. Forecast high is 84* with 30% chance of rain. Going to town later today. Going to do some tool shopping. Also the filler cap on my tiller was leaking oil. Will go by the Kabota place and see about replacing it. Need to buy more corn for the deer...

Good Afternoon. 1640, cloudy, 76* with 80% humidity. Forecast low for tonight is 63* with 20% chance of rain. It sprinkled on me today, but I was so wet from pressure washing I hardly noticed.

Got off work a little early this afternoon. We had an early supper, so I had some time to work with the Fisher. I looked through all my cleaning products and decided to try Lemon Fresh Pledge. After forty five minutes of cleaning everything that moved, {and some that didn't} with a shop towel...

Welcome aboard DK. Glad to see new folks on here. {as I was a couple three months ago} Larro

Good Morning{just barely}. I finally was able to got on. 1155, sunny, 78* with 79% humidity. Forecast high of 82* and tonight's low of 64. Two events at work today. I will be watching racing in just a few minutes. Everyone have a good day. Larro

Didn't quite get through pressure washing the porch, or get to work as early as planned. I saw a big black SUV come by the house and stop at the graveyard. Thinking it might be my cousin from Rome Ga, {heard she got a good chunk of insurance money and might have bought a new car} I stopped...

Good Morning Everyone. 0745, sunny, 63* with 89% humidity. Forecast high of 82* with no chance of rain. I opened the bedroom window this morning, letting some of this cool air in. Sure felt good. I have a couple of hours before I have to get ready for work, so I should be able to get the porch...

I started cleaning off the porch so I could pressure wash it. But when I took a load out to the barn I got side tracked. A couple of weeks ago we took the carpet out of the Game Room at work, and I brought it home. I moved everything from one side to the other and laid some carpet down over the...

I went out to the barn yesterday to count 4 ohm speakers. I think all seven of them are 4's but I didn't take them down to make sure. I could replace them with 6 ohm and still have good sound out there. The indoor/outdoor speakers are rated at 50 watts, {if they are the same as the ones in the...

Good Morning Everyone. Sunny, 62* with 94% humidity. Forecast for a high of 84* with no chance of rain. {burrrr}

Roy, like you, I am a big fan of The Band. I got their new album, The Band Live At The Academy Of Music, this week on Spotify. It is a live show recorded in 1971, when they were all still alive and speaking to each other. When I am by my PC at home, or my laptop at work, I listen to music on...

Good Morning All. 0930, cloudy, 72* with 91% humidity. Forecast high is 86* with no chance of rain. Tonight's low is supposed to be down to 61*. The coolest night so far. You have a good looking place there, Walker. Roy, I have a real bad old stereo problem. When I see one at the thrift store...

This is the 'new' Fisher, the cause of me trying to figure out what to do. Here is a brief outline of what is where. I had this Sony in the library, but it has a short. {maybe the broken glass should have been a clue} I traded an old receiver and a pair of speakers to a friend to fix it, but...

The receiver was marked $19.99/ as is, no refunds. The fellow there said he had checked it and it worked. And since it was Tuesday, I would get a 25% Sr Cit discount, making it $15.00. {I'm a couple of years short of 55, but I do a lot of shopping at Goodwill. The ladies there give me the...

I ended up mowing today, not pressure washing. Had a late afternoon shower, just over a tenth of an inch. The sun was trying to come out when I was walking the trash up to the road. Looked pretty cool, so I took a few pictures. It wasn't really this dark, it's just the sun was tricking the light...

This area was the cause of the first fight between Englishmen in North America, so it wouldn't be anything new. {Claiborne and Calvert both thought they owned Kent Island, and went to war over it in December of 1637}

Good Morning All. 0850, cloudy, 70* with 95% humidity. Forecast high of 90* with 60% chance of thunderstorms. We had a good storm about bedtime last night. Got six tenths out of it. If the rain holds off, I will see how much further I can clean the second story with a 24" extension for the...

Good Morning All. 0915, cloudy, 75* with 93% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 84* with 60% chance of thunderstorms. Margie took the {rare} day off and we are going to Marianna shopping. Last week when I went to town to buy an extension wand for the pressure washer guess what I forgot to buy...

Good morning all. Happy first full day of fall. 1110, light rain, 76* with 95% humidity. Forecast high of 88* with 70% chance of thunderstorms. We have had just under a tenth of an inch since midnight. I looked up my first frost probability. 10% chance by 10-28, 50% by 11-16, and 90% by 12-7...

Good afternoon all. 1430, light rain, 75* with 94% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 84 with 60% chance of rain, and tonight's low down to 68*. It has rained off and on since yesterday afternoon. We have got an inch since midnight. Speaking of rain, thirty years ago while I was serving on the...

Good Morning All, {just barely} 1155, cloudy, 82* with 84% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 88* with a 60% chance of thunderstorms. The rain isn't here yet, but looking at the radar, I see it isn't far off. Today's wedding isn't an outside one, so all is good.

Good morning all. 0215, clear, {full moon is shining outside} 69* with 87% humidity. Forecast high of 91 with no chance of rain. Although there is 60% chance of thunderstorms on Saturday. I'm just getting in from work. Had to take up tables and chairs from Thursday night's event, clean up, then...

Good Morning All. 1130, mostly cloudy, 83* with 71% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 91* this afternoon, and a low of 68* tonight. Just talked to my boss. She didn't tell me I had to come in early, but if I did, she was going home. I can always use the extra hours, so I'm going to hit the...

Good Morning All. 0955, sunny, 79* with 78% humidity. Forecast high of 90* with a 20% chance of rain. It looks like fall is making it's way south. Our forecast low for tonight is 66*. Four more days of summer. I can't wait for it to be over. Good luck 300UGUY.

Good morning all. 0915, mostly cloudy, 77* with 90% humidity. Forecast high of 93* with a 20% chance of rain. My little walk yesterday ended up at my other 40, 3/4 of a mile from the house. I hadn't been to look at the pond all summer, so since I was already in the woods, decided to walk on...

It all depends. How thick the hay is, how much wind or how sunny it is will impact drying. Often if the hay wasn't too thick we would just roll the windrow over to get sun on the other side. But if it is too thick, you would spread it back out with the tedder. I always found it was better {if...

Good Morning All. 0955, sunny 80* with 86% humidity. Forecast for a high of 93* with a 30% chance of rain. Tried to get back to the pressure washing, but my back told me it would have to wait for another day. I need to pick up a gallon of Simply Green anyway. Maybe I will walk over and look at...

Good afternoon all. 1600, sunny 94* with 55% humidity and 30% chance of rain. Happy birthday Jim. I didn't have to come into work until after noon today, so I did a little pressure washing before I left the house. I got the lower ten foot of the east end of the house done before I gave out of...

Good afternoon. 1645, sunny, 90* with 56% humidity. Forecast low of 66 with a 20% chance of rain tonight. There is an outside wedding in an hour and forty five minutes. Maybe it will cool off a little by then. Like last weekend, the bride's maids are all in summer dresses and cowboy boots. My...

Just saw over on Jayski'sｮ NASCAR Silly Season Site - NASCAR Sprint Cup News Page that Nascar is letting the 24 in as the thirteenth car in the Chase. That will help, but Clint Bowyer set back stock car racing's image a ton with that spin last weekend.

Good morning. 1045, sunny, 85* with 69% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 95, 20% chance of rain, but 100% chance of love bug clouds. {washed the car yesterday, and it is staying in the shed until that comes down to 0%} Thanks everyone on the news updates. {fire, flood and long sugar spill} I...

Good looking job Gearhead. I did some tree trimming with a handsaw yesterday. I like to go quiet once in a while. I opened up a couple of lanes in the woods near my shooting house, then cleared some brush under this oak. Would have done more if the rain hadn't chased me back to the truck. I...

Good Morning. 0915, sunny, 78* with 86% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 93* and {once again} no chance of rain. I noticed there was a small oil leak from my filler cap on the tiller yesterday. I will have a look at that this morning. I have to work every night from tonight until Tuesday...

I had to go back and do a double check on my morning post. The part about no chance of rain. I went out and tilled a couple of food plots back behind the house in the edge of the longleaf pines. Then I went back there in the truck to do some tree trimming. I wanted to open up more shooting lanes...

FG, it works the other way too. Sixty nine degrees in Dallas Sixty nine degrees in Minneapolis

Good morning. 0800, sunny, 72* with 91% humidity. Forecast high of 92* with no chance of rain. Have a good one everybody.

Isn't Kamen the guy who made the wheelchair that will climb stairs? Most of his work has been toward helping folks with mobility problems. A very smart man.

Good morning. 0735, clear, 72* with 90% humidity. Forecast high of 90* with no chance of rain. We did get a light shower yesterday. Might go to town today. Nothing at work until Thursday.

You have a good looking location. And those trees will grow fast. When we built ten years ago, our longleaf pines were about knee high. Now they are already making pine cones, and are almost as tall as the house.

The weeds in the garden had been bothering me, and the melons had just about played out. So I ate all the melon I could hold, {as small as they were, that took eating the heart out of about five or six of them} then took down the fence, mowed and tilled everything but the peppers and one tomato...

Good afternoon. 1630. Mostly cloudy, already cooled off to 88* with 66% humidity. Forecast low is 70* with 20% chance of rain tonight. Fall is in the air. I took down most of the fence around the garden and mowed everything but the peppers and one tomato plant. Then I tilled the mulch and dead...

Quote by jinman "That seems incredible that people would no-show to a planned event." Quote by RoyJackson "I would think there would be a deposit required too...and a non-refundable deposit at that." The event was a child's birthday party. They had just made the reservation last week and...

Good afternoon. 1315, partly cloudy, 87* with 60% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 95* with no chance of rain. Came into work a couple of hours early so I could finish the cleanup from last night's wedding. I went home as soon as they left so we could watch the race before we heard who was in...

So sorry to hear about Bubba. There are no words that will help you now. I went through it with my Cedar 8 or 9 years ago. The only thing that will help is time. And maybe a new puppy. But I would wait a while. When Cedar died, we said we were going to go dogless for a while. A couple of years...

I had to take some pictures when I saw the ladies bringing in the deer.

Good Morning. I've been at work a couple of hours, but just getting around to posting. 1100, sunny, 86* with 62% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 93* with no chance of rain. Today's wedding is fall/country/hunting themed. They have fall flowers, hay bales and deer horns for decoration. It...

Although I did paint the Camo Jeep Comanche, the Camo Corsica and the '57 Feather Craft you can see in the background of these pictures, I wouldn't call it art. So the wishing well, hollow logs and stump planters is all I have. I started a thread back when I did the planters, Hollow log...

I planted a couple of ferns in the 'bucket' of the wishing well. This was a couple of days after I did it. They have grown a lot since then, but this was the only picture I could find at work. Spoke too soon. Here is one from a month ago.

Good afternoon. 1630, cloudy, 91* with 60% humidity. {although heat index is 104*} Tonight's forecast is for a low of 70* with no chance of rain. Tomorrow night it is supposed to get down to 68*, so fall is just around the corner. But the highs will still be in the 90's for a while. I have a...

We bought a bigger table in July. Now we can pile one end up with stuff, and still have room to eat at the other end. Our old table was too small for that. We only cleaned it off when we had company. The rest of the time, we ate at the bar. Now the old table has been moved to the end of the bar...

Good morning. 0945, sunny, 83* with 83% humidity. Forecast high of 93* with a 30% chance of thunderstorms. Driving into Blountstown on Tuesday, I went through one of the worst storms I have seen in a while. Margie and I went out to eat, then I did work a couple of hours watering the lobby...

Good afternoon. 1300, sunny, {but a thunderstorm is rumbling nearby} 88* with 71% humidity. Forecast high of 91* with 60% chance of thunderstorms. I'm not scheduled to work again until Friday, but since today is payday, I will go into town to do my banking. The plan is to time it so I can take...

I used the B7500 to bush hog last year's food plots. I mowed more briars on both sides this year. Last year the briars were so tall I wouldn't see the deer until they stepped into the food plot. Now I will be able to see them coming. Also cut some brush under one of our big oaks that had grown...

Happy Labor Day everyone. 1330, thunderstorm, 80* {dropped 5* in last 15 minutes because of the rain} with 85% humidity. Forecast high of 91* with 50% chance of thunderstorms. I cleaned up last year's food plots with the B7500 and BH this morning. It will be time to plant them soon. I couldn't...

Good morning. 0830, cloudy, 78* with 94% humidity. Forecast high of 90* with 40% chance of thunderstorms. Only had one passing shower yesterday. Just enough to wet the car before I put it in the shed. I don't have to be at work until noon. We are cooking sausage and eggs, a rare treat with our...

Sixdogs, I bought an old Pinto when I came home from the Navy. It was as cheap as a plane ticket, and I did have a little stuff to bring with me. For a couple of years I did odd jobs to keep the lights on, and spent the rest of my time on the Chipola River. When the starter on the Pinto went...

Good morning. 1100, cloudy, 82* with 85% humidity. Forecast high of 91* with 40% chance of thunderstorms. Should be an easy day at work. I got in early and set up tables and chairs for a family reunion. After they are through, I will take down and clean up, then I'm done for the day. Had a full...

I sharpened the blades on my 6' RFM and mowed the front yard with the 3930. 6 1/2 acres in 3 hours 45 minutes. Then after supper I used the Husqvarna to mow the dog yard. Mocha loves it when I mow her yard. It is the only time she gets free run of the place. But after a quick trip around to...

Good morning. 1115. Hazy, 82* with 81% humidity. Forecast high of 91* with 50% chance of thunderstorms. After four or five days without rain, it has really dried out here. A nice thundershower would be welcome. As long as the lightning doesn't get anything. I went over to my 85 year old Mamma's...

These are the pepper rings that Margie made today. One of them is mostly sweet banana with just a few jalapeno added for flavor. The other light one is sweet banana, with a few more jalapeno. One is a mix of red Marconi with sweet banana and a few jalapeno. I had ask for some milder ones. There...

David, that shed looks a lot bigger with the sides and doors on it. That is a first rate job. A paved road is nice. Both of our roads, the one in front and to the side of the house, have been paved since we built here eleven years ago. The limestone dust is gone, but now you have folks driving...

Randy, we have done both of those and they turned out well. In fact, the only one that didn't was watermelon. And I think that was due to the amount of water in the fresh melon. It froze super hard and wasn't very easy to eat.

Thanks. We will give it a try. I had a late breakfast, and we are planning on an early supper, so I'm having a slice of the blueberry pie right now. The hardest part is waiting for it to thaw to where you get the best taste. I have found a few seconds in the nuker will work if you just can't wait.

Good morning. 0830, sunny, 76* with 88% humidity. Forecast high of 95 with no chance of rain. I have internet this morning. Wahoooo!!! Drew, it is good that your uncle remembered the local library. My county library is right beside my work. Until I started writing myself, I was in there...

We have let a wild grapevine grow up on the dog fence. This is the first year we have picked more than one or two grapes off it. I ate my fill today, and had a double handful to bring in the house. So far Mocha hasn't learned to pick them for herself, but if you drop one, she knows how to eat them.

Good afternoon. Another day with no internet at home. I have it at work. Since it is the same company, this doesn't make sense. 1530, sunny, 89* with 63% humidity. Forecast high of 93 with no chance of rain. Margie had to water the flowerbed today. And I turned the soaker hoses up on the...

Good evening. 1800, clear, 88 with 68% humidity. Forecast is for a low of 70 with a 20% chance of rain. We didn't have internet this morning until after 1100. By then I was doing my running around. It's like lights or water. You don't think too much about it when you have it, but you sure miss...

Depmandog, I was in Panama City this past Sunday and I think I saw you with three of your friends. It looks like you are getting a little gray in your beard. It was nice of you trying to keep that girl from overexposing herself, like that.

I used two rolls of old hay. It does help keep the weeds down, but when the melon vines started dying, there was nothing to shade the melons. I wouldn't have minded a few weeds. I can help you ID some of those peppers. I'm assuming you know the jalapenos. {mine have the same marks on them. From...

My bad. I guess it was dried mud I was seeing in the pictures. Through it all, our pepper have kept on keeping on. One or two of them are looking rough, but since I planted 30 {what was I thinking?} we are still getting much more than we can use.

Good afternoon. 1300, sunny, 85 with 67% humidity. Forecast is for a high of 91 with no chance of rain. It's been a long time since I could say that. Haha. I did buy a few things that I needed to outfit the used car we bought. Stuff like jumper cables, extra keys, a magnetic key holder, a...

It looks like you were too dry. That was not my problem this year. My melons got off to a good start. This was the first week of July. Two weeks later they were growing nicely. I figured I would be rolling in melons. But as you can see, some of the leaves are already turning yellow. We got...

My cousin is having some of her pines cut on the next 40 over, so I walked through my longleafs to have a look. The weeds growing in the firebreak around the pines were all blooming. There were piles of this kind of butterfly. But I this guy was the only one I saw like him. I waited with my...

Good evening all. 2115, scattered clouds, 77 with 85% humidity. Forecast low for tonight is 63, the coolest of the year to date. No rain to speak of today, just a couple of sprinkles. Margie and I spent the day in Panama City. Shopping and eating. She likes one, and I like the other.

I came across this video made by flash flood chasers. I didn't know such an animal existed. But I guess the entertainment options are limited in the southern Utah canyon country. It looks pretty intense. I'm betting these guys ran with scissors when they were kids.

Good Afternoon. 1300, partly cloudy, 84 with 81% humidity. Forecast high is 90 with 60% chance of rain. I drove through a few sprinkles on the way to work. The Blountstown class of '98 is having their reunion tonight. {youngsters}

Good afternoon. 1645. Light rain, 79 with 85% humidity. 40% chance of rain. I've been on the run all day and just getting online. I got in from work at 0130 and was able to sleep in to 0900. So often it doesn't work out that way. I picked up the car from the bodyshop, and my coworker drove my...

Hey Obed. I have never seen one of those deer things before. Is it what it looks like, a sprinkler hooked to a motion detector? I guess it works, or you wouldn't be using it again. My garden is fenced, but we still had trouble with the coons eating the banana cantaloupes. Next year I might check...

300UGUY, I hope for the best outcome for Bubba. We are thinking of you. It is the quiet after the storm here. I have some real work to do for once. Here is the before and after shots. I just stopped for a coffee refill. Still a long way to go.

Congrats JD, on 62 trips around the sun. I'm sitting here at work wishing I was closer to SS. I've got 9 1/2 years to where you are. Then 5 more if I wait for full payments. That is sounding like along time to me. Nice pictures Daugen. I like the prayer of the woods. I may copy that and put it...

Good morning. I've been up since 0700 but just now getting on line. 1100, light rain, 78 with 87% humidity. Forecast high of 88 with 40% chance of thunderstorms. We had a big one yesterday afternoon. Heavy rain, strong winds, thunder and lightning. Lights blinked off and on several times. Then...

My wife reads my posts. So as I was saying, Margie is the best.....

Dean, you got......guts.

daugen, if you run out of cream for your coffee, you can always milk the goat. Looks like you guys are having a blast.

Good Morning. 0900, partly cloudy, 76 with 91% humidity. Forecast high of 90 with 40% chance of rain. Drew, that TV not working could be a blessing in disguise. You and Nadine enjoy the 'shows' around you. They are never re-runs. MG, you sure improved your score the second time around. But no...

Here is his bug-eyed cousin. {click to enlarge to get full effect}
