Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

My wife appreciates all the birthday wishes. She says she had a good time today. It's just 40-45 miles (depending on the route you take) to the old neighborhood where we lived before I retired. So we picked up the, now 90 year old, neighbor who used to be my wife's best friend for years and went for a leisurely lunch at an Olive Garden restaurant. And after we took her back home, we drove through the Dallas-Ft. Worth National Cemetery where one of my wife's brothers, another brother's wife, one of her uncles, one of my aunts and uncle, as well as some of our former neighbors, including the husband of the lady we took to lunch today, are interred. There were 3 funeral processions in progress while we were there, and the growing number of columbaria and headstones is just phenomenal. And there's still a wreath lying at each headstone from the Wreaths Across America on December 15..

I forgot to tell Lady Bird, Happy Birthday!

I came into possession of my dad’s picture from 1944, just before he turned 21.

Handsome guy. Greatest generation.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Bird

Will take Ron's advice about starting off on the right foot.

When life gives you lemons.....

My trip down south bore fruit. Buddy has a huge 15-20 year old lemon tree.

When I took the Corvette into town for it's State Inspection, a couple of weeks ago, it was raining and it got filthy. I took advantage of the warm weather today to give her a bath.





We had a great sunset tonight.



Happy New Years 2019 to all!

Just had a thunderstorm. Weird to have them in winter.

Nice pic toppop.

Nice car.

 

[Buppies]

Still raining lightly breezy and 58 pretty warm for this time of year

Drinking first cup of coffee. 28° with some clouds this morning. Heading to 39° with 100% chance of rain. Maybe a little over .5" of rain. PT this morning then put another coat of polyurethane on foot rest. Not much else planned. No New Year's Resolutions. Just pray for better health next year. I pass that on to everyone else.
Think I am going to give this a try.

Good Morning All.

Good one Ron.
Just watching the evening news and local gal reporter doing a piece on New Years celebration. Camera cuts to her trying to balance on right foot and she explains per above. Wife and I had to chuckle.

Rick, nice car, beautiful sunset.

Drew, I have no problem with a lobster, shrimp, etc, but would be a lesser farmer than you with poultry or live stock. Firstly, wife says meat comes on one of those white/yellow trays wrapped in clear plastic. I joke that should I attempt chickens I’d have to have a processing area for the non layers. Even more realistically, she has said anything we had would become a pet. Just another expense

Good evening to the morning crew. I don't post here often, but read the morning thread daily.
It's 32 degrees at 3 minutes before the new year with an inch of new wet snow, just turning
to rain as I type.
I want to extend best wishes all on the Good Morning thread and on TBN for a healthy and
prosperous new year.

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Years 2019 to all!

Great looking C4, I love the style, but the rocker height and floor level make them hard for me getting out. I almost bought a C5 several years ago.

HAPPY NEW YEARS and good night.

Agreed. My '67 was much easier to get in and out of.

Good morning and Happy New Year !

We are starting 2019 with some surprise rain that hadn't read the "1%" prediction. Not complaining though, I can now take my time before moving the sheep, their drinking water was about gone when I checked late afternoon yesterday.


LS, I've heard all Schnauzer's are intelligent dogs, your puppy should be a lot of fun and well worth the long journey.

Eric - Assembler. With paper tape, mag tapes, and card punchers. I am not that old, I just found a niche at the right time.

The computers were Xerox Sigma III's and Xerox Sigma V's. They filled 1/4 of a building. Used for imagery analysis.

Just getting them "booted" took a magic dance, switches flipped, tape drives cleaned and tapes mounted, paper tape reader and paper in excellent working order, and the card deck better have not been messed with.

Rip, you were real hands on. We got to punch our own cards but then had to pass them over, through a sort of serving hatch, to young ladies on the other side who were paid to feed them into a reader on our behalf - students were not even trusted to be in the same room as the computer !

Happy New Year all!

21 and going down to a high of 7°F.Wind NNW 17 gusting to 29 mph.
It is snowing out and so far we've got about 6". The snow is supposed to stop around noon or so. We could get a foot or more.:thumbsup:

I was out yesterday, the first time I left the house since Christmas and although I didn't get out of the Dodge and it hurt a little by the time I was done, I am still mobile enough to plow today.

Have a good day all
