First of June, coffees on

[Delmonico]

Sourdough Czech rye, starter is coming around, first bread since surgery, actually first bread since late September.  Rita tried a new place for delivery tonight, some Irish pub downtown, I highly recomend the Shepards Pie, yes the real thing, not a cottage pie, but a real Shepard's Pie, don't tell Roo I ate sheep for supper, it was good.

Thinking tuna samwhich later, tuna on rye.

More rain  95% is on tap ( no pun intended ) for  Sunday ...imagine that , Humidity is 100% even when rain is not falling.
Like wearing a wet blanket , we had tornado warnings Sat. afternoon.

  4 straight days now and Monday ( guessers are saying 25% ) may not change all that much.

It did dampen and cause the planned protest in town to cancel...  goody

  In other news , My friendly LGS  just about sold out Friday ....every new 9mm & 380  he had was gone.
Bunch of folks in there anyway, among standard array of AK's etc, was a $ 2500 consigned Garand.
The CCW class was sold out too.
All I saw in the glass case was a pimp Smith & Wesson Model 39  chrome & pearl-ette consigned piece.

Also a  S&W J-Frame 22 LR also consigned , but that one was being handled by a potential buyer.
I left before any cash exchanged , so its fate is not known.

  update :
A tornado actually did touched down near downtown Orlando, Saturday evening in  a system related to the tropical storm . The twister just missed a group of protesters at Lake Eola at around 7:30 p.m. There appeared to be no injuries, but tree limbs were knocked down, and there were reports of power outages.

I'm well south of that mess by about 40 or so miles....but

A planned protest in our towns memorial park was call off earlier in the day, because of rain.  The small park , has a band shell .
,  2 WWII Field pieces , a Deuce and half truck and Cobra Helo....
There is also a pair of Union & a Confederate Memorial monuments ....it was rumored all of these were to be vandalized...
The Local GAR  and the Kissimmee SCV camp members had planned to arrive to protect these.

Just might have gotten ugly

coffee is hot .....little smokies in the skillet ...

76th anniversary of D-day was less an occasion , I suppose the current pandemic & protests were the cause....

Less we forget the greatest armada to free Europe ... God Bless their memory.

I did not even find " The Longest Day " aired on the Turner Classic Movies 

[litl rooster]

Prayer to those lost on D Day and for their families.


Thanks for the coffee.

Looks like the toy store there is doing what they are all doing everywhere. Kentucky Gun Club has a 15 box of ammo limit, per order.  I stay away from such places especially on weekends.

Delmonico put a buck in the cussing jar.... for the Shepard's pie remark.

Expecting some rain later today from the tropical storm. Maybe not as much as other places.

Slim the part I hated about roofing was hauling the shingles up to the roof.


I haven't been feeling real good- spent good part of yesterday on my CPap. Avoiding hospital and being a statistic. Will see how today goes.

[Silver Creek Slim]

My Grandson has finished with the quarantine period and has started his training at the USMC Officer's  Candidate School in Quantico, West Virginia. Attached is a letter from the Commanding Officer.
I like the phrase "NEVER GIVEN, ALWAYS EARNED".

[Major 2]

The Best of the Best, I wish him luck , stay the course MARINE !

[Silver Creek Slim]

I'll have a ridge vent. Don't have it yet. I'll see what it available at Fleet Farm or Menards.
