Good morning brothers and sisters!
Mostly cloudy here today, starting at 34F and predicted to reach 43F.
I turned the sprinklers and outside water off yesterday and drained the lines given how close it is getting to freezing in the morning.
The !@#$%^&*()_+_)(*&^%$#@! who sets off loud fireworks at midnight is back and after I got Miss Layla calmed back down, they did it again at midnight thirty. Would love to lay hands on them to show my appreciation.....
Gym this morning, followed by our first dawg walk and then breakfast at the Cadilliac Cafe with Grayfox and NM.

I am in an incredibly good mood!!
Yesterday was wonderful, and I managed to cross off something on my Bucket List that I had never been able to do until I put my hand on my DIL's tummy and felt my great-granddaughter move. I had never been successful in feeling a baby move, even with my own two sons. Brought tears to my eyes.
I am the first living great-grandfather in the history of my Family back to 1605. Fourteen generations.
I pointed out that tummy wiggle had just about filled out my Bucket List, and I'd done it all.
This morning found a present left from my two sons. It is a folded piece of paper with a header:
1. Conquer France
2. Fix Warp Drive
3. Define God
4. Restart Big Bang
5. Travel Back In Time
6. Remember How To Fly When Awake
I have two of the finest -- and most completely different -- sons. One is a grandfather-to-be, a National Judo Champion and a holder of Black Belts in Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Kendo, the other is an upper-tier doctor of the kind you will never see again.
Secretly, I have tried #6.

Congratulations most honorable elder brothersan! My ancestors have been short lived as well.
Hee, hee, hee, 18 months experience suggests that you will find your great grandchild the center of attention at all the family gatherings, including your anniversary, birthday and Father's Day.
They will be exceptionally bright and a quick study, as well as pretty to look at.
If it is a female, they will be drawn to you, and you will develop a special relationship with them that the women present will laugh and talk about.
They will have lots of toys and get lots of attention.

Maybe use the sad emoji!
@Gypsy Nirvana, sometimes when your heart reaches out to a brother or sister in pain, an empathy emoji feels more appropriate than like, laugh, love, or sad. Wish we had one for our type of old fart dialog.
It feels like maybe they need hugs more than others sharing their pain.

Like with airplanes, altitude is important when flying while awake.
arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…….
Oh I know what you're saying and I didn't really get this depressed until after the last of the cats me and my wife rescued and raised passed away. We has 6 at the height of things. We got together to late in life so we decided to have cats instead. Nothing against dogs but we started in an apartment and dogs just weren't a good fit at that time. Anyway the cats became like our children, or at least filled that same need and so we called them our furbabies. Unfortunately when my wife passed half the income we were living on vanished and even being just down to one cat at that point was a struggle. That cat "Patches" (a typical callico) made it to 22 years of age which is pretty old for a cat. In the end she developed some serious kidney issues and there was no way I could afford the treatment she would need especially since they couldn't guarentee that would save her. So I had her euthenized so she wouldn't suffer (which was very hard on me). After that I vowed to not take on another pet if I couldn't afford to provide any and all medical care it might need. Which is the same as saying never since I was struggling to be able to properly feed her and give her a clean litter box. As I said my only income is Social Security and with my wife now gone that means just approx. $1310.00 a month. With that I can afford all my bills and groceries and insurance, etc. but after I pay all my bills I am lucky if I have $5-$10 left over, which means, no pets, no dinning out, no going to the movies or bowling or any other social activities I'm interested in, no vacations and heaven help me if when my 2009 Kia breaks down and needs repairs. My only luxery in life is my cable tv/Internet and that's without any premium channels and just the smallest most basic cable channels package.
That's better, might not match all situations but it at least suggests that you're polite.'think'?
How about this 1:
I was raised in the South. Of course of have good manners.That's better, might not match all situations but it at least suggests that you're polite.

Looking at some tractor work today. Had some of my pond dug out this summer and the dredges dumped in a low spot of my yard. I need to hit it with a tiller to bust it up. Then I should be able to drag it out smooth with the front bucket. Need to shot a rifle to 300 yards and make sure my calculations are correct before I go bust a doe at my cousins fancy shmansy hunting club.

I wanted to apologize for my very depressing post yesterday. This time of year has become very tough for me especially since the most recent passing of loved ones, My mother, my wife and my last furbaby Patches, all happened right around this time of year which has kind of taken all the joy out of the holiday season for me. Still that's no excuse for me to be a downer for everyone else's good times. So I apologize.
It's especially tough this year given the direction the President elect has stated he plans to take the country. It may seem good to anyone that has done well enough to be able to invest in things like precious metals or crypto currency, that mmeans you have done well and for the most part life has gone your way. Which isn't to say you didn't earn where you're at it just means you were able to capitalize on the opportunities presented to you and as a result you were able to set yourself up for future success. If gas prices start going back up or food prices start going back up you might not like it but you'll probably be able to manage it with little to no problems. You also likely have more then one income so if in order to give peopl already too rich to spend what they have, more tax cuts they have to eliminate or cause Social Security/Medicare to go bankrupt sooner rather then later, you'll probably be able to weather that too. So I'm glad that many of you see the future as looking bright and/or promising but for me it's not looking that way since we all hopefully know that across the board tarrifs is a tax on consumers and with the tarrifs Trump has announced already with just Mexico and Canada and China represents about 85% of all imports into this country, inflation is going to get way worse then it was during the pandemic. I know you all are smart enough to realize that and if you're telling yourself it will only hurt the countries importing the stuff then you're just lying to yourself.
By the way if you've invested in crypto the smart money says get out now. It's probably going to stay okay until after the inaugeration but after that everyone is predicting it to tank. If you haven't gotten in yet then the best move is to don't get in. It's basically just a ponzi scheme and when it goes only the ones got in when it first started will do well, everyone else will likely be losing their shirts. Stick with precious metals because at least there it's based on something tangible. rather then just all the people trying to get on the bandwagon because it looks good right now.
