  1. Getting old rocks, eh? I’ll be 73 next week and this is how I spent the weekend with my wife. We bought a limestone rock that was pulled out of a local Catholic cemetery. It had been one of many used to line roadways there. I needed a stone to mount my Mother’s sundial. We had it on a wooden fence post for years but it had decayed. Yesterday I dug a hole and we used a rock bar to jimmy it off of my trailer and set it in that hole. We used pipe clamps to grab it and pivot it in the hole to point north and south. This morning , we mixed 4 bags of quikrete and secured it. We are both pretty tired tonight but next weekend we are going to build a low retaining wall around it and mulch it all to match the Peony bed behind it. At times it sucks getting old but not always. ETA: I’m not sure how I posted the top pic twice. I must be getting old.
  2. There are several schools that run those systems but Conway has been single wing for years with a lot of success. They ended our State dreams several times over the years.
  3. Do your nephews play for or against Conway Springs?
  4. I also use arose for Wordle but I use Unity and then arose for quordle and Octordle. I can't explain why I don't use unity for Wordle, maybe it already hit once.
  5. In fairness, it was built to transport 787 parts, so I can see how he got there.

  8. Thanks for the reminder. The last couple years of my Dad's life he was wheelchair bound after a series of strokes. Physically he was impaired but his mind was still pretty sharp. His last Thanksgiving, we had him out to our house for dinner and wheeled him to the head of the table, his rightful place. Mid-meal he had a puzzled look on his face and I asked if he was OK. He deadpanned that he was pissing his depends so that I wouldn't have to disrupt my meal to take him to the bathroom. Pretty thoughtful of him.

  10. Damn, best of luck to you, Bruin. I'm sending any mojo I can find to you.
  11. Bump from the past. I have a quarter mile gravel lane from the road to my house that I have been maintaining with roundup for many years. I went to my local farm store to get another quart of concentrate and found that they don't carry Roundup in amounts less than 5 gallons. They do carry several products with the active ingredient being Gluphosinate-ammonium. This shit is a sudden killer of goose grass and Mexican sandburrs that try to push in from the edges of my drive and any of the weeds that inhabit the center stripe. According to the net it is safer than roundup and doesn't cause cancer in lab rats. I don't know if I believe that but within 36 hours of application there is visible damage being done the any plant that gets sprayed. This won't help any of you that are trying non-chemical solutions, I don't use it on my lawn or anywhere near my rose bushes and flower beds. The brand I used is Kleen-Up. https://bonide.com/product/kleenup-he-high-efficiency-weed-grass-killer-conc/
  12. Easy peasy with the start word I always use. Wordle 1,509 2/6* 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  13. And Falter faltered, just like you thought. Actually, I knew it was a longshot but I wanted it to work.
  14. They should check your ticker again after you ate that.
  15. Between Carter Jensen, Blake Mitchell and Ramon Ramirez, the Royals have plenty of good catching coming up. Luka Tresh is still at Omaha as well but I think he has lost a bit of shine. Fermin is on the wrong side of 30 and really isn't a great hitter. I think there is some recency bias with him. I do like his defense and I guess the Padres do too.
  16. KC pitching coach Sweeney coached Falter in MiLB. He must see something that he thinks he can fix. I dunno.
  17. It fills a need for the Royals with all of the SP injuries. Carter Jensen is playing very well at Omaha and has more upside than Fermin. I'll miss Freddy but this seems like a good trade to me.
  18. 9 pitcher shutout. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that before. Ultimate bullpen game.
  19. Or giving up a walk-off HR to Jonathan fucking India.
  20. I have posted this before but it is worth a repost. David Byrne and St. Vincent. The French Horn Player is also part of an all-girl group, Genghis Barbie.
  21. He has video of some network exec fucking a goat or somesuch. No other explanation of his continued employment makes sense. “I’m sorry but”. Drink!
  22. I’m sorry but, Harold Reynolds is an annoying bitch.
  23. We are here, some for that very reason. I don't have anything to add other than offering support for those of you in the fight. Fuck Cancer
  24. @Armybrat has me beat by a couple of years but, yeah, I’m old.
  25. He is the most singularly focused person I have ever met. Even as a 4th grader, he knew what he wanted to do and pursued it. He was a very odd duck (pun intended) but extremely smart. He never finished High School as far as I know. I haven't seen him or spoken to him since he quit school and took off to see the world.
