I have decided to unfollow the NFL. 

Any league that encourages or allows a team to stay in the locker room during the national anthem is not deserving of my time.

 I may be in the minority but that’s the way it is 

 

Add me to the list. You can also add the NBA, Nascar and ESPN. I hope they all go down the sewer.

Looking good Rico. I am tired just thinking about what you are doing.

Praise GOD Aydens covid test came back negative. Still sick and it takes him so long to recover but we are very happy for sure.

Fantastic news. One day at a time for Ayden to recover. Reading this made my day. You are all an inspiration to me. Wishing you all nothing but the best every single day!

Should have stayed in S Bend

Not a bad idea. I don't think my wife would of been very happy with that decision. 

I was in Kokomo visiting my oldest brother and the temperature outside was almost 90. I got to South Bend around 4:30 and the temperature had dropped to 71 degrees. Got back home to Portage, Michigan about 90 minutes later and the temperature was back to 90 degrees. 

I could care less what these people do. I hope they boycott and never play another game.

I am right there with you Bro.  As of today...1, and I repeat 1, bell pepper.  0 jalapenos.  0 cayennes.  Hell, I don't even have fruit on...plenty of blooms?  Sigh.

Time to hit the Farmer's Market for us. It has been an unusual year in so many ways.

I'm at the point right now with my cherry tomatoes that I almost cherish each one. I had 1 ripe one this morning and I was like Tommy Boy with the roll in the diner.

Our garden is struggling this year. We have kept it watered but it just seems like it won't get going. I think my wife's green thumb is turning brown. lol

My Dad took a home movie of the family watching it.  I was in it...I had just turned 2.

That is so cool. I was at my sister's babysitting watching it on a black and white television. I was 15 years old. Man, I am getting old!

Remember watching it live. Hard to believe it was 51 years ago. Many if the youngins on here weren't even hatched yet.

On vacation in Mississippi and caught this from a bridge today. We usually just catch small trout, croakers, and a few other things. Redfish from there are pretty rare. Any fish above 10-12 inches is pretty good, and this was 21.5 inches.

What time is dinner?

Nice catch 👍

The Appalachian trail is something I've been interested in doing at some point. Thru hiking would be my top choice but section hiking seems more realistic.  

So does your wife camp on the trail whole stint or make trips into towns?

She stays on the trail. Occasionally she will go into towns to do laundry and shower. She did a stint in February and got into some really cold weather with heavy snow. I think she is crazy but she loves it

First week of October my wife is doing her third stint on the Appalachian Trail. She will spend about 10 days up in the Smokey Mountains.  I am her chauffeur so after dropping her off at Fontana Dam, North Carolina I will head to Knoxville and spend a week with my son and my grandkids.

I wasn't planning on this project. My mother-in-law lives with us and her Mobility has been declining. Made the decision to rip out the tub and replace with a shower. Over the last two weeks I have been spending a few hours in the evenings and have the shower done. Not quite as fast as @Billingsley99. Vanity and paint yet to come. You can't have a new shower with an old vanity for some reason. 

Looks fantastic.

I went back to the doctor today because I am still having some problems with breathing.  When I now the yard I am really having problems with being out of breath.  Today they did a EKG and some blood work and both came back alright.  I am going to get echo cardiogram and a stress test scheduled in the next couple of days.

Wishing you nothing but the best my friend.

So decided to remodel the house starting with the living room floor. Tore out the carpet, and installing laminate flooring.

Progress pic, really thought I'd get more done today but didnt anticipate subfloor prep.

 

Is your cat helping or over seeing the project,? Lol

Unfortunately, there aren't very many "quality" sub-contractors out there anymore. 45 years ago when I built our first house, the quality control on a $40,000 house was outstanding. Things were "done right"

Now days, the motto among the workers (usually) is "Hell, it's better than my house, so it's good enough", or my all time favorite..."just caulk it". Sad.

That's why I was on site every day, every hour that I had subs working on any of our houses we built. Didn't yell, or scream, just being there let them know I was watching. Very few problems.

And once you find a good contractor (I know a lot of you guys are doing your own work which is great, but for future reference) ask him for references of other contractors you might need. Most of the good ones, tend to work together on larger projects.

Some great tips and you are so right in this.

Looks great. Love the color choice.

When doing home fixups, nothing surprises me. When I removed the one piece tub shower unit earlier this year the wall behind the shower only had insulation in one cavity and it was installed incorrectly.

I use the Boy Scout Motto, "Be Prepared" for anything. 

Looking forward to more updates.
