Good Morning All (OF's):
Wishing each and every one of you, a pleasant morning, wonderful day, and outstanding evening.
I am currently pretty tied up with projects and work, so wanted to start with a daily check in hello.
Today is Friday and right next door to the weekend on Saturday. Will be glad for the break. TGIF!!
See you all tomorrow (again)!

@SubGirl Can you tell us what the hell you were doing in this photo?It was my eyes. I couldn’t see. Give me a little break.
Cleaning out the kitchen stovepipe? Stuffing a rag in a pesky ceiling leak?

I found an old article about a progenitor of mine. Without this wild-ass escape, I would not exist.
Johann and Garret were taken to the infamous Sugar House Prison in New York City. The prison was run by a sadistic person by the name of Major William Cunningham. Cunningham was so bad that the Brits eventually hanged him.
Major Cunningham had a poisonous hatred of the "Jonathans", and would execute them, while continuing to carry them on his roster in order to continue to collect the money to feed them. This, incidentally, was the cause of his eventual demise at the hands of his superiors.
Life was harsh in Sugar House Prison, and on September 28, 1778, Captain Johann Snedeker passed away from disease. Major Cunningham decided that it would be nice to finish off the rest of the family, so he decided to hang Garret.
While New York was largely Tory, it was still rather awkward politically to march young men down to the tip of Manhattan Island to hang them in broad daylight... so to avoid difficulties, Cunningham always did it very late in the day -- in the gloom of twilight.
So here we see our 24-year old hero, marching hobbled down Broadway, escorted by six Hessian soldiers and Major Cunningham. They turned into the Place Of Justice (aka: gallows yard and cemetery) right at the water's edge at the tip of Manhattan.
There on the gallows in the gloom, hanging gruesomely from the night before, was one of Major Cunningham's previous victims.
"Cut him down, and we will hang this one!" Cunningham barked.
Now we must step aside for a moment and observe something quite out of the ordinary:
A very close friend of Garret's (his name, unfortunately, lost in the mists of Time) had heard about the impending execution, and had sneaked across from Staten Island in a canoe. He had hidden himself in the only empty grave in the cemetery, trying to figure out a method to rescue his friend.
As luck would have it, when the Hessians cut down the previously hanged individual, they kicked the body into the grave where Garret's plucky pal was hiding.
"Very well," says Cunningham to Garret, "you have three minutes to pray, and then I will hang you."
Garret knelt down in front of his grave-to-be. As he began to pray, he heard a familiar voice:
"Hist! Garret! It's me! When your three minutes are up, stand up and turn around right here by the edge. I'll cut your hobbles and we'll run for it!"
"Sounds like a better plan than I have," Garret answered.
The three minutes were soon up. Garret stood, and turned around in place. His friend jumped up with his hanger (sword) in hand.
The result was spectacular. All the Hessian soldiers and Cunningham saw was that they had dumped that creepy, very dead corpse in the grave. Then the young soldier had prayed for a bit over that grave, and suddenly, up jumped a wild figure in the gloom with a sword waving! All seven ran away in terror.
Garret and his friend made it to the canoe and escaped.

The Great Escape
or
A Sword In The Dark
This tale begins with the fall of Fort Duquense, and the capture of Captain Johann Snedeker and his son, Garret by the perfidious British. Johann and Garret had been bodyguards to George Washington (sort of the first Secret Service), and when the Fort surrendered, all its inhabitants became prisoners.or

Sadly, it isn’t the federal govt paying back any loan. It is you and I. The govt is broker than broke and still giving away our future in the form of foreign aid(read kickbacks to the MIC) to the tune of billions a day…
Good morning brothers and sisters!
Another gorgeous day here in Paradise, starting at 59F and predicted to reach 79F.
An empty calendar open to frolicking, joy and amazement, or debauchery, whichever comes first.

Good Morning Subie La RueIt’s expensive here too. I usually buy what’s on sale but will sometimes spring for something like a standing rib roast or steaks. I like meat but I’m not crazy if I don’t get it. Well maybe going without bacon makes me a little crazy
Hope your vision is getting better
We was worried and us concerning old farts kept a eye out for you ,made incantations,lit candles,chanted mantras,,Dutch and Ivan stood guard, and Layla sniffed a butt in your honor.
It was rumored that Dog took his pups and roamed the plains and did not return home till you were home and safe.
I go to Pa every year for a sportsman show,coming back we stop at Dietricks a big German butcher store and the guys load up a 125 qt cooler.
Its always around Valentine's day so for my Honey for Valentine's day I bought 20lbs of bacon.
This year it was $9.90 a lb
Bastages
Aldis thick cut is $5.99
"Its alway better to make love not war even if you are by yourself" unknown author?? No matter. Better To Make Love Not War.
Somehow it seems those wires got crossed.

Morning 
Got a good soaking last night. Normally I would be happy about it, BUT. When it's going to be in the 100's for the next 2 days. Well, it sucks.....
Need to get the chain saws serviced. It's that time of year to get the wood cut n stacked to cure. They're predicting a cooler fall here this year.
enjoy
Should go fishing

I feel like I just opened a 20 lb package of bacon from the German butcher. You make my day every morning. ‘I think the second eye job is gonna work out fine after it settles in good and the dilation goes down. I can already see thing clearer I just hope that street signs is one of the things I can see soon so I can cut the driving miss daisy strings even tho I have enjoyed the rides.
I hope your day is fun.

Virginia and NC are both good at makin bacon. Some bacon is harder to cook.
