Not going to lie, I'm looking forward to the rain and cooler weather Ida will bring. 

Also, I've never wanted anything identifiable in the off chance I have to resort to criminal activity for survival.😉

Unless something changes WHS is scheduled to play McLean Co Kentucky today.

Art...  for some and not others.  

I'm at the point in my life, they won't affect my job any, so I will be getting sleeves in the next year or so.  The hard part is finding the right tattoo artist. I mean world class artists

For me it's art too. 

If I do it it's balls to the wall. Full sleeves and a mural across my back. A tribute to my family. Washington crossing the Delaware, an image of the declaration of independence, the liberty bell, pay homage to indiana with city circle. Lady liberty, an image of dday, Korea, and Vietnam.  Multiple purple hearts, bronze stars with v devices and combat infantry badges. 

Can't forget my uncle Brad who was awarded a silver star as a green beret in the Persian gulf War.

My last name is tattooed from the top of my rib cage to my hip. Got it a day after I turned 18... and still love it. My wife has 4. My sister has 3. I will probably, eventually get one on my shoulder/upper shoulder area, as well. 

The point? I like it. I can cover it up when I want to. I'm a huge fan of tattoos in certain spots... others spots I hate. I am not a big fan of calf tats or thigh tats on women. I just don't think it looks good, at all. 

Also.. any person that said their tattoo didn't hurt... lied. 

Agreed, anything on the the legs, male or female is off-putting and a no go. But a well crafted artistic oblique peice I'm down with. 

I don't need tats and don't like needles but I'm so scarred up I may just draw up an American history piece and see where it goes. 

Also, belly button piercings are 👌

My wife has three. It started with our last trip to Key West. She loves turtles and got a henna tattoo of a turtle on her left forearm. Loved it so much she got a real one in the same place.  Has a scripts one her left clavicle and a Hawaiian flower on her right. 

I bought a sketch pad and rough drafted them and let the artist refine them them. 

I'm designing a sleeve as a tribute to our pets that she wants. For us it's me designing artwork and a tribute to our pets.  

I would love nothing more than to hold on to our pet graveyards but paying taxes on a combined 75 acres in Indiana and Illinois, just don't think I can cover it.

I’m sorry you feel that way 

Why apologize when you are correct?

Well, now 12 US servicemen have been killed in a suicide bombing outside of Kabul airport. I'm so frustrated and angry. Joe Biden has their blood on his hands and should resign...

Did you see the story about the morons that took their kids to Afghanistan for a summer vacation?  Holy hell, how dumb can you get.

He's a great guy. Always had the kids that played for him (I played JV baseball for him) and students he taught best interest at heart.

I think it's pretty cool we have an Alford connection.  Sam graduated from WHS.  I went to the same church as Sam's parents and have met Sam and Steve. 

I can't imagine not wanting a drivers license. I had wheels pretty early. A dirtbike as a kid equals freedom.

Not looking like that will happen until early next week. Rain chances are spotty as well. I'm old enough to remember when a heatwave like this would almost always be broken by powerful thunderstorms. Doesn't seem to happen too often anymore. 

I'm with you on the storms. I love thunderstorms. Been years since I remember having a day of rolling thunderstorms. Really miss it. 

I just want the heat to end. About ready to apply for a job as a janitor in Antarctica.

Ayden bought one at an auction and we dug out some old cassettes and just for fun. I showed him how to splice one. He thought  it was cool for a day

I remember having a stereo where you could make mix tapes and record songs off the radio.

I remember spending hours just trying to put my favorite songs on a cassette.

Don't get me start on 8 tracks.  My dad had one in his garage and a giant collection of tapes. Halfway through a favorite song and...pull it out and flip over to finish. 

Also, my grandma had a Betamax and a rotary phone.

People need to have some balls and quit apologizing for everything. It's really annoying.  

RIP Charlie Watts.

He and Hal Moore wrote We were soldiers once and young correct? Great book and great movie

Yep. 

This is really good too. Don't know why it's age restricted. It's a CBS interview of Hal Moore and some others returning to Ia drang in 1993. 

I have had an abundance of sun sugar cherry tomatoes, my absolute favorite. 

Told Milehiiu about them last year and he had never heard of them.  Was going to send him some plants this year. 

Unfortunately he didn't get a chance to try them. But I have given so much away. 

Think maybe his memory has a hand in it. I couldn't share with him but I've been able to share with appreative people.

Nice haul! I just pickled the last of our habaneros and jalapenos this morning. 

Habaneros are my favorite.  My plants still have alot to get ripe but not my best year for them. I like to let a few turn red. 

RIP Joe Galloway.
