This cracks me up every time. I don't know why its just silly.



Here's another one. Language warning NSFW.

My son completed his last requirement to receive the BSA Den Chief Service Award tonight. He (we) have been working on this service award for almost two years. It is a difficult service award to get. His Pack gave him a gift card as well. He said it felt good to finally earn something he had been working toward for a long time. I’m proud of him.

Today is my wedding anniversary. I started strolling down memory lane and so I'm having a good day so far.

My son started cursing sort of. He now walks around saying "oh biscuits." I don't know where he got it, but it's funny.

I fell asleep last night in my chair, and my wife said "Go to bed." I got 8 hours of sleep. That's rare.

I know with all that's going on these days, we should all count our blessings.

I hope everyone on this forum has a fantastic day!

Happy anniversary

New hire showed up on Monday and came back Tuesday.

Potential new hire interviewed with the department managers and started Monday, also came back Tuesday.

Well, summer vacation is almost here…one more week and our 11yo daughter will be out. Always fun to have 2 or 3 months off.

It's going to be a lovely day folks.

I won the internet today!

We’ve been coming up to MI for the summer for 15 years. There’s two houses on the property, my parents’ and ours. Since my parents were here for six months at a time, they ran a phone line (over 1,000’) to their house and have a whopping 6mbps DSL connection. We’ve always used our cell phones.

Every year though, I’ve thought about connecting to my parents’ internet service 600’ away through the woods. Today, I did it. I used a 5GHz wireless bridge with to units that have 23dBi high gain parabolic dish antennas. I placed one inside my parents’ house connected to their switch and one inside our house connected to my laptop. These are supposed to be line of sight, but I figured I’d give it a shot. It worked, I got the full 6mbps on my laptop. Should be awesome when I mount them outside, trim some tree branches, and we get fiber next year.

Rode the Pan America to the LGS today. Pleasant ride but chilly. 53 degrees!

Thanks for this little song!

I just got out of an 11 day hospital stay, 6 in ICU, with diffuse pneumonia and a blood infection—- dodged the reaper again at age 82! Now at home with ampicillin every 6 hours around the clock for a month.

That little song has VASTLY improved my mood and outlook! A thousand thanks again!!!

At the gym I weigh myself. I do so on the first and fifteenth of the month.

This morning I learned that since January 2022, I have lost 108 pounds. I am now 21 pounds less than I weighed in January 2000. I was 40.

I’m also capable of longer aerobic output (>60 minutes at 85% max heart rate) and physically stronger (save my left shoulder which is FUBAR).

All those are huge positives in my life.

Congratulations 2340! That's a huge achievement.

You lost a mini-me!

If I make my lowest end state weight, I will have lost 48% of my body weight.

ETA: I do not foresee making that weight.


Then I fully expect to die, to lose the other 52%.

Watching the fairly new kittens (7) in the back yard when I feed them. They're feral and skittish but are getting more used to me and don't run off when I come out. Maybe one day they'll be more socialized (their mothers are).

Now that I’ve posted in the “funk” thread, here’s my personal feel good for the day:

At the end of the initial several-day handgun training for an agency new hire who previously retired from the armed forces, retired from a state law enforcement agency, and worked in court security for several years, he said the firearms training was “the best” he’d ever received: the sort of thing that makes it all worthwhile.

^^^ Then you HAVE to keep doing it, John!

Put a bluebird house up last week on the fence post behind the house and a nesting pair have already moved in.

Went through Liberty, MO today on 152 highway at rush hour where there are about 10 stop lights within 3 miles and hit every one green.

Today was a great day.

The weather was beautiful, I got to spend a couple of hours kayaking with my "other brother," and I'm sitting on the porch now with a nice beverage and a mild breeze. The neighbor's beagles are quiet, the birds are chirping, and I have tomorrow off from work.

I'm warm enough, cool enough, certainly well-fed. Today on the river I got a few minutes to watch three does and two fawns play and eat nearby. I set all of the daily worries and piddles aside and got to stare at the water and the trees.

I'm neither a saint nor a Bible scholar, but today brought Psalm 118:24 to mind: "This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it."

Toss that funk aside for a while, friends. Today has been a beautiful day.
