Those panties appear to be clean, nothing dirty about it.

Amazon delivers Purina dog foods, many varieties. Just saying ;)

My mind works in mysterious ways, I'm just glad it works at all. 🤪 Anyway, here in the midst of the MLB season two names from the past popped into my mind; John Brockington and MacArthur Lane - the original thunder‑and‑thunder backfield. I know of at least one coffee shop patron who will remember this duo.

That is al for now from the cobwebs of my mind.
I do I do!

Die hard Bear fan in 1971 and 1st semester of college sophomore year. Girl friend at the time grew up in Milwaukee and for her there were the Braves though in Atlanta already 5 years and the gosh awful Packers. I was cut off 2 times that season because during those Bear/Packer weeks she hated me!
 
Good afternoon as Terry and me are in “our safe spot”! Tornado sirens blowing, now warning. Went from calm, hot and humid to trees bending from the winds, roaring thunder to air raid sirens blowing.

Text from the daughter that the tornado warning has the schools in lock down per a text from the school district and the high school has no power except emergency generators. The granddaughter is special needs and I image they have their hands filled will those kids if the power is out. They have practiced quite a bit though with kids to get used to the shelter they use.Tomorrow is the last day of school.
 


Good day to all..........

Rant for the day :

I have several orders in with Amazon Prime. I had to cancel one. The ad says "order before 2 hrs, 30 min for delivery tomorrow".
The order I cancelled was placed on June 5. I cancelled it yesterday as it had not even shipped nor was there a expected shipping date shown.
One other order arrived yesterday.........NOT next day delivery.
And the other item now shows delivery on the 14th.
So much for "next day" delivery.

I'm still working on some 3d prints. Updates later.

Hot and humid here in west Texas after some rain on last Saturday and Sunday and temps in the upper 90s, I break a sweat just walking to the mail box. Upper 90s for the next week (100 for tomorrow) with more rain Thursday, Friday and Sunday. We need the rain for sure but it sure makes being outside a bit miserable. And my yard is full-on jungle.

Everybody have a great day...........John

Bobby Douglas was always fun to watch.

Despite the Packers winning both games? She was tough, no love for a Bear's fan even when the Packers win.

The Packers were much improved in 1972 (10-4) and returned to the Playoffs after a three-year absence. Only to lose to my second favorite team, the Washington Redskins in RFK stadium 16-3.

Since my Colts didn't make the playoffs in 1972, I was closely following the Redskins, George Allen's Over the Hill Gang. I was sure the Redskins would win the Super Bowl after beating the Cowboys 26-3 in the NFC Championship game, but the undefeated Dolphins were a team of destiny.
 
Round #1 of thunderstorms have exited the area which started around 2:20. We received about 1.3" according to the gauge. We got
some pretty good lightning and thunder and sideways rain with the 35MPH winds. No hail and nothing severe with this round.

Round #2 is set to hit around 7pm. Tonight's storms are not supposed to be severe but tomorrow is a different story. The dog will
let me know in advance if they are severe.
 
Rain forecast clear here right now, but I don't believe anything they say this time of year. 92F and muggy with a hot breeze. We ran out for a local lunch, then Post Office and Bank. Relaxed a bit in the AC and will stay in it until Church tonight. I have sheepdog duty at the door tonight, so I will take a travel mug of coffee with me. Had a fellow accept a low-ball offer on fleabay, so I have 4 Chooch buildings headed my way. Watch out for the weather folks and be safe.

Are you in southern Iowa? Where ever you are, keep your head down!

I'm watching from the south. It looked pretty strong moving through your area with that bow echo. Hang on up there!

The evening threats are probably going to miss us

Good evening all............

Well, the new ROKU universal remote I purchased about 10 days or so ago quit Monday evening. I can't gripe as it only cost $6.95 w/free shipping.
I guess I got what I paid for.
So I ordered a genuine ROKU replacement remote for $10.95. These "genuine" units don't get the best reviews so that is why I ordered the cheapy before. I guess I'll find out this Friday when it comes in the mail.
I have a ROKU 3 box and it has lasteted about 12 years and the box still works well. I was going to just order a new ROKU unit but the reviews for their newer stuff just was not what I was hoping to see. So, I found a new, unopened ROKU box 3 on e-bay, made a $25.00 offer and the seller went for it. I figured my old ROKU 3 has worked this long so I'll have another for a back-up.

I finally tweeked my 3D prints into what I needed so I'm printing them now. Four pieces takes around 2 hrs & 25 min. Got some more to do.

Hope you guys up north make it through the rough weather. Too bad we can't funnel that water to Texas. A couple of lakes are completly dry now.

Stay safe....John
