Today is Monday, May 9, the 130th day of 2016. There are 236 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On May 9, 1961, in a speech to the National Association of Broadcasters, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Newton N. Minow decried the majority of television programming as a "vast wasteland."
On this date:
In 1754, a political cartoon in Benjamin Franklin's Pennsylvania Gazette depicted a snake cut into eight pieces, each section representing a part of the American colonies; the caption read, "JOIN, or DIE."
In 1814, the Jane Austen novel "Mansfield Park" was first published in London.
In 1864, Union Maj. Gen. John Sedgwick was killed by a Confederate sniper during the Civil War Battle of Spotsylvania in Virginia.
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson, acting on a joint congressional resolution, signed a proclamation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
In 1926, Americans Richard Byrd and Floyd Bennett supposedly became the first men to fly over the North Pole. (However, U.S. scholars announced in 1996 that their examination of Byrd's flight diary, discovered earlier that year, suggested he had turned back 150 miles short of his goal.)
In 1936, Italy annexed Ethiopia.
In 1945, with World War II in Europe at an end, Soviet forces liberated Czechoslovakia from Nazi occupation. U.S. officials announced that a midnight entertainment curfew was being lifted immediately.
In 1951, the U.S. conducted its first thermonuclear experiment as part of Operation Greenhouse by detonating a 225-kiloton device on Enewetak Atoll in the Pacific nicknamed "George."
In 1974, the House Judiciary Committee opened public hearings on whether to recommend the impeachment of President Richard Nixon. (The committee ended up adopting three articles of impeachment against the president, who resigned before the full House took up any of them.)
In 1980, 35 people were killed when a freighter rammed the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay in Florida, causing a 1,400-foot section of the southbound span to collapse.
In 1994, South Africa's newly elected parliament chose Nelson Mandela to be the country's first black president.
In 1996, in dramatic video testimony to a hushed courtroom in Little Rock, Arkansas, President Bill Clinton insisted he had nothing to do with a $300,000 loan at the heart of a criminal case against his former Whitewater partners.
Ten years ago: Freed by rescuers drilling round-the-clock by hand, two men walked out of an Australian mine where they had been trapped for two weeks by an earthquake. (The joy over the survival of Brant Webb and Todd Russell was tempered by the loss of Larry Knight, who died in the same rock collapse.)
Five years ago: Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich announced on social networking websites that he was running for the Republican presidential nomination. Dallas Wiens, the nation's first full face transplant recipient, joined surgeons at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston in his first public appearance since the 15-hour procedure in March 2011. Belgian cyclist Wouter Weylandt lost control of his bike and tumbled down a mountain pass to his death during the third stage of the Giro d'Italia (JEER'-oh dee-TAHL'-yah). Lidia Gueiler, Bolivia's first female president, died at age 89.
One year ago: North Korea announced it had successfully test-fired a newly developed ballistic missile from a submarine in the latest display of the country's advanced military capabilities. Actress Elizabeth Wilson, 94, died in New Haven, Connecticut. Renowned country fiddler Johnny Gimble, 88, died in Dripping Springs, Texas.

Thought for Today: "Life is a series of collisions with the future; it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be." - Jose Ortega y Gasset, Spanish philosopher (born this date in 1883, died in 1955).

Morning Rick, Dave, Dean and Dave.
Morning Travellin Dave, what time zone are you working in today?

And if that is a bit too heady for you, I have the following:
“God gave us Mondays to punish us for the things we did over the weekend.”
“Monday?! But, I wasn’t even finished with Saturday yet..”
“Today is Monday, and that’s reason enough for me to hate it.”
You don't want to have to come into work on Monday already apologizing. I try to save my apologies for what I've done later in the week. Ike Barinholtz
“Mondays are a lot like getting fat. They make you feel sad, sometimes angry and there is not much scope for liking either fat or Mondays for any reason.” » Garry Moll
“I can already hear Monday morning whispering Go F***Yourself in my ear.”
“I haven’t had this bad of a Monday since last Monday.”
“Why is Monday so far from Friday but Friday so close from fMonday?”

Smoked my first AJ Envlave yesterday, A Toro. 1st half was a smooth consistent smoke and really enjoyed but the 2nd half was like a totally different cigar getting very hot and harsh, not so good to me. Got 3 more will see how they go after a little more rest, only had that one I smoked for a couple of weeks.

@LTG - you try that new to you #1 wood yet?
Yep, got to try it out when we went golfing at CF, and again yesterday on the range. Definitely getting used to it now, didn't hit any slices with it yesterday. Only pulled it a couple of times when I was really trying to lay into it, otherwise, it was heading right down the middle.

Practicing retirement, which looks like like sitting on this patio drinking coffee in the morning, beer in the afternoon and whisky in the evening while smoking a few cigars. Maybe a little bass fishing here in the pond. I did give the warden a shopping trip to Charleston for Mothers Day so got to do that on Wednesday but I luv going to Charleston anyway. Also going to look at a couple of lots down there.

Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll with ketchup salt and pepper will probably do the trick.

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: 5 REASONS WHY YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO HATE MONDAYS
Arrrgh! Monday morning again? Seriously, did we just do this last week? Is it really necessary to have a Monday every week? I’m so with you. I totally understand why you hate Mondays. Nobody wants to talk about the truth. Nobody wants to speak about the ugly truth about Mondays. But I’m going to put it out there today. It’s time to expose Mondays as a fraud. In fact here are five reasons why you are absolutely right to hate Mondays.
1. There’s absolutely nothing to look forward to about Monday
Let’s be honest. Your job sucks. The kids hate waking up early. Your commute is outrageous. Can’t we call it Sunday and just head back to brunch? What do you have to look forward to? This is just another boring day in a long line of boring days before and the boring days to come. It’s not like you have a grand scheme for pulling in more joy and peace into your life. What’s to look forward to when you have no vision for your life? How can anyone expect you to love Mondays when you have nothing about this day that is pulling you toward a brighter future? Monday is just another 8 hours in the office if there is no greater vision for how Mondays are working to bring meaning and satisfaction to your life.
2. Monday only likes to show you how terrible your life is in comparison to others
Your boss just wants to show you pictures of his fabulous jet set life and the other worldly experiences he had this weekend while you splashed your feet in the backyard kiddie pool drinking beer with your best friend while your kids played with each other all afternoon. We don’t even have time to talk about the pictures your friends posted on facebook about the epic weekend they had. I mean what’s so great about meaningful relationships and simple pleasures anyway? Your deck has all this wear and tear from the years of gatherings but you’d rather post pictures of staying in a 5 star hotel half way across the world. As long as your boss keeps living the great life, and your facebook friends keep posting pictures, there will be absolutely nothing you could ever do to appreciate the life you have, right?
3. Nothing interesting ever gets done on Mondays
Half of your coworkers don’t even bother to show up. Now you’re going to sit there at your desk waiting for lunch so you can get back to your desk and wait for the end of the day. Without a plan of action to bring in possibilities and wondrous experiences to the life you live, you’re absolutely right to hate Mondays. We can’t expect you to be happy about Monday if you have nothing purposeful to accomplish. It’s not as if you could fill your day with big and small achievements. It’s not like you could take steps toward that vision you set for your life. Today you are only facing another dull meaningless task list.
4. You always feel horrible on Mondays
Have you ever noticed how bad you feel on Mondays? That cloud of blah that hangs over your head the rest of the week feels like an upgrade compared to what you feel on Mondays. It’s like the more you talk about how horrible you feel the more horrible you feel. Murphy’s law right? And what about those terribly perky people around you bouncing around with a smile saying syrupy sweet things like “Good morning” and “Today’s gonna be a great day!” I mean what’s wrong with them right? Who does that? Why do they get to be so pleased with life? Can’t they see it;s Monday? I wonder if they realize that how you feel is a choice and they can choose to temper that enthusiasm and excitement just a bit. I wonder if they understand that you are so committed to hating this day that nothing they say could ever get you to admit they make you feel even the slightest bit of joy. Didn’t he just get the same crap assignment you did? Why is he so happy? While you choose to speak doom, they are choosing to speak life. Same circumstances, different results. Maybe they can’t see the truth with all that sunshine beaming from their smile.
5. Monday is always going to be what it is
Mondays are horrible and there’s nothing you could ever do to change that. It’s time we all admit that as the truth. Who are you to decide to that you deserve more love, peace and joy on a Monday? Who are you to think you could learn to show up with a sense of awe and gratitude about the possibilities that Monday brings? What makes you think you could just decide to turn that task into something you enjoy or see that project as a chance to learn something interesting? Where did they get the idea that you could just choose to be happy about Monday and actually expect to enjoy every bit of the day?
Let’s just admit the truth. There is absolutely nothing that will ever change about Monday. The only thing that could ever change is you.

1. There’s absolutely nothing to look forward to about Monday
Let’s be honest. Your job sucks. The kids hate waking up early. Your commute is outrageous. Can’t we call it Sunday and just head back to brunch? What do you have to look forward to? This is just another boring day in a long line of boring days before and the boring days to come. It’s not like you have a grand scheme for pulling in more joy and peace into your life. What’s to look forward to when you have no vision for your life? How can anyone expect you to love Mondays when you have nothing about this day that is pulling you toward a brighter future? Monday is just another 8 hours in the office if there is no greater vision for how Mondays are working to bring meaning and satisfaction to your life.
2. Monday only likes to show you how terrible your life is in comparison to others
Your boss just wants to show you pictures of his fabulous jet set life and the other worldly experiences he had this weekend while you splashed your feet in the backyard kiddie pool drinking beer with your best friend while your kids played with each other all afternoon. We don’t even have time to talk about the pictures your friends posted on facebook about the epic weekend they had. I mean what’s so great about meaningful relationships and simple pleasures anyway? Your deck has all this wear and tear from the years of gatherings but you’d rather post pictures of staying in a 5 star hotel half way across the world. As long as your boss keeps living the great life, and your facebook friends keep posting pictures, there will be absolutely nothing you could ever do to appreciate the life you have, right?
3. Nothing interesting ever gets done on Mondays
Half of your coworkers don’t even bother to show up. Now you’re going to sit there at your desk waiting for lunch so you can get back to your desk and wait for the end of the day. Without a plan of action to bring in possibilities and wondrous experiences to the life you live, you’re absolutely right to hate Mondays. We can’t expect you to be happy about Monday if you have nothing purposeful to accomplish. It’s not as if you could fill your day with big and small achievements. It’s not like you could take steps toward that vision you set for your life. Today you are only facing another dull meaningless task list.
4. You always feel horrible on Mondays
Have you ever noticed how bad you feel on Mondays? That cloud of blah that hangs over your head the rest of the week feels like an upgrade compared to what you feel on Mondays. It’s like the more you talk about how horrible you feel the more horrible you feel. Murphy’s law right? And what about those terribly perky people around you bouncing around with a smile saying syrupy sweet things like “Good morning” and “Today’s gonna be a great day!” I mean what’s wrong with them right? Who does that? Why do they get to be so pleased with life? Can’t they see it;s Monday? I wonder if they realize that how you feel is a choice and they can choose to temper that enthusiasm and excitement just a bit. I wonder if they understand that you are so committed to hating this day that nothing they say could ever get you to admit they make you feel even the slightest bit of joy. Didn’t he just get the same crap assignment you did? Why is he so happy? While you choose to speak doom, they are choosing to speak life. Same circumstances, different results. Maybe they can’t see the truth with all that sunshine beaming from their smile.
5. Monday is always going to be what it is
Mondays are horrible and there’s nothing you could ever do to change that. It’s time we all admit that as the truth. Who are you to decide to that you deserve more love, peace and joy on a Monday? Who are you to think you could learn to show up with a sense of awe and gratitude about the possibilities that Monday brings? What makes you think you could just decide to turn that task into something you enjoy or see that project as a chance to learn something interesting? Where did they get the idea that you could just choose to be happy about Monday and actually expect to enjoy every bit of the day?
Let’s just admit the truth. There is absolutely nothing that will ever change about Monday. The only thing that could ever change is you.
We're going to post this back to you next Monday when you're bitching about your coworkers.
Go for it, but only but only about 36 more Monday's for me then you bitches are all mine.

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: 5 REASONS WHY YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO HATE MONDAYS
Arrrgh! Monday morning again? Seriously, did we just do this last week? Is it really necessary to have a Monday every week? I’m so with you. I totally understand why you hate Mondays.

Morning Flip, how is your son doing?

it was a total false alarm. slightly irregular ekg, some one thought
they saw damage on echo chardioram. Cardiac Catherization, gave him a clean bill of health.
so I got to spend from 8am to just after lunch, with him, his girfriend came in around 10am,
and since she looked cuter then me, I let her drive him home, after about 3pm.

porterhouse steaks.

also, by leaving, she could get on his case about cigarette smoking. it's weird, he weighs 250lbs
at 32 years old. but he is always in the gym.
