    Mornin' BBB.

    Today me dad turns 86. His health has taken a precipitous plunge in the last six months and I wasn't sure he would make this birthday. Tough to watch a guy go from hale and hearty to being on oxygen 24/7 and barely able to take care of himself. But such is life.

    Congrats to DS#2 on his masters.

    I saw that photo and story yesterday on FB Dennis. That pike is a super pig. She was trolling a small trout rooster tail behind a kayak. Funny enough, I have caught my biggest pike from my inflatable with an electric trolling motor on a crappie jig.

    Steph is kinda like Carmen San Diego.

    Keep on counting, Sam. One day you can write your book..."DMIL and the Georgia 2020 Census".

    BBB OP ;-)

    Taking me Dad to VFW
    Having pals over tonight to fire up new Weber 4-burner and watch Daytona racing
    DF stepped in deep kimchi with DW - offering her marriage advice for "managing Powers men".....not good! This coming from a man who's been married 6 times/5 women! (geesh)

    Good morning BBB friends.
    • Happy birthday to your Dad Lee.
    • Stayed up and watched the Phillies beat the Braves in 11 innings. Extra inning games are strange with the new rules.
    • Sounds like you might need to keep your Dad at the VFW Skip.
    • Quiet day planned. Wish I could be in MI tomorrow.

    Good Morning,
    Happy Birthday wishes for Dad Lee.
    Skip, your DW being a retired teacher I'll bet she can hold her on and if she wanted dear dad would wish he had not said anything; or he could have been picking at her, maybe?
    Steph, Sunny will go past me to get DW to take him out; I'm his second choice and DMIL is last resort.
    Off to do some more counting will do 5 hours or till rain starts which ever comes first
    They have now extended bonus monies till Sept. 19th Mary, I can't even tell you how they figure it, came in on I phone with print so small and could not get to enlarge. Took two hours to clear 3 cases because Census does not believe I can look at pasture an tell if a residence is there or not and that an address does not exist; had to get sheriff as proxy so they would quit putting on list. One case in which everyone said road did not exist, I found road and house yet census says I was not within range to be that address, house sits way off road about 2,000' down by lake.

    Dennis - meant to tell you I started watching Boys State last night! I only got 30 minutes in. Didn't realize it was a two hour documentary.. Will finish tomorrow.

    Watched Tom Hangs: Greyhound last night with DF. WOW! Highly recommended.
