My big boss gave me one of the neatest and most unique retirement gifts I have ever seen, it is a Texas Flag properly folded in a presentation box but the significance of it is that it was the actual flag that flew above the State Capital on July 7th which was my 20th job anniversary.  There is also an authentication certificate from the State Legislature recognizing my contributions to Texas.

Thanks, unfortunately I will spend it working on moving chores.   Sheesh, I probably will not realize I am really retired until after we actually get moved in September.

Today is the Wardens Birthday but we celebrated that in advance when her Sister was here so just a casual lunch or dinner out today.

The one potential obstacle for the condo purchase has been resolved so the should be pretty smooth sailing now.

Stucco inspection found no problems other than the few minor cosmetic issues we were already aware of being confirmed as only cosmetic defects.  But they need to be repaired so as not to become bigger issues over time.

Chipotle: Norovirus confirmed amid reports of 133 sick customers. ( 133 is a small number? :o)

One customer who fell ill after dining at a Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) restaurant in Virginia had norovirus, according to tests conducted by the local healt

Chipotle closed its Sterling, Virginia location earlier this week after receiving reports that a “small number” of customers became sick. The restaurant, which underwent a sanitization, reopened on Wednesday.

Today (Fri 21st Jul, 2017) is........ National Junk Food Day!

Edit:

Celebrate this wonderful day by eating any sweet or salty treats you want! Bake cupcakes, make cookies, heat up some popcorn, buy some of your favorite candies. Invite friends over and have them bring in their favorites and make a junk food buffet and spend the rest of the day watching movies. You can always go get some fast food for fun. Take a cheat day from your diet and have dessert for dinner.

Today is Friday, July 21, the 202nd day of 2017. There are 163 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History:

On July 21, 1925, the so-called "Monkey Trial" ended in Dayton, Tennessee, with John T. Scopes found guilty of violating state law for teaching Darwin's Theory of Evolution. (The conviction was later overturned on a technicality.)

On this date:

In 1773, Pope Clement XIV issued an order suppressing the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits. (The Society was restored by Pope Pius VII in 1814.)

In 1861, during the Civil War, the first Battle of Bull Run was fought at Manassas, Virginia, resulting in a Confederate victory.

In 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed an executive order establishing the Veterans Administration (later the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs).

In 1944, American forces landed on Guam during World War II, capturing it from the Japanese some three weeks later. The Democratic national convention in Chicago nominated Sen. Harry S. Truman to be vice president.

In 1949, the U.S. Senate ratified the North Atlantic Treaty.

In 1955, during a summit in Geneva, President Dwight D. Eisenhower presented his "open skies" proposal under which the U.S. and the Soviet Union would trade information on each other's military facilities and allow aerial reconnaissance. (The Soviets rejected the proposal.)

In 1961, Capt. Virgil "Gus" Grissom became the second American to rocket into a sub-orbital pattern around the Earth, flying aboard the Liberty Bell 7.

In 1967, actor Basil Rathbone, remembered for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in a series of films, died in New York at age 75.

In 1973, Israeli agents in Lillehammer, Norway, killed Ahmed Bouchikhi, a Moroccan waiter, in a case of mistaken identity, apparently thinking he was an official with Black September, the group that attacked Israel's delegation at the 1972 Munich Olympics and killed 11 athletes.

In 1980, draft registration began in the United States for 19- and 20-year-old men.

In 1997, the USS Constitution, which defended the U.S. during the War of 1812, set sail under its own power for first time in 116 years, leaving its temporary anchorage at Marblehead, Massachusetts, for a one-hour voyage marking its 200th anniversary.

In 2011, the 30-year-old space shuttle program ended as Atlantis landed at Cape Canaveral, Florida, after the 135th shuttle flight.
In 2017, TexDave said goodbye to the working world entering his first day of relaxation, naps when he wants them and fishing his ass off.

Ten years ago: Doctors removed five polyps from President George W. Bush's colon after he temporarily transferred the powers of his office to Vice President Dick Cheney under the rarely invoked 25th Amendment. Ruediger Diedrich, one of two Germans kidnapped in southern Afghanistan on July 18, was found dead. David Beckham made his debut with the Los Angeles Galaxy in front of a sellout crowd of 27,000. (Beckham got into the exhibition game in the 78th minute of Chelsea's 1-0 victory.) "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the final volume of the wizard series by J.K. Rowling (ROHL'-ing), went on sale.

Five years ago: The president of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge (zhahk ROH'-geh), rejected the latest calls for a minute of silence for the Israeli victims of the 1972 Munich massacre at the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. Staff Sgt. Luis Walker, an Air Force training instructor at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes that included rape and sexual assault. (Walker died in August 2014.)

One year ago: Donald Trump accepted the GOP presidential nomination with a speech in which he pledged to cheering Republicans and still-skeptical voters that as president, he would restore the safety they feared they were losing, strictly curb immigration and save the nation from Hillary Clinton's record of "death, destruction, terrorism and weakness." The NBA moved the 2017 All-Star Game out of Charlotte because of its objections to a North Carolina law that limited anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people. Former NFL head coach Dennis Green, 67, died in San Diego.

My big boss gave me one of the neatest and most unique retirement gifts I have ever seen, it is a Texas Flag properly folded in a presentation box but the significance of it is that it was the actual flag that flew above the State Capital on July 7th which was my 20th job anniversary.  There is also an authentication certificate from the State Legislature recognizing my contributions to Texas.

Very good and different smoke. I'm finding it to have full bodied coffee flavors with a salty and sweet component on the finish. It's truly unique. Definitely will seek one out again. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170721/f602eb7cbc827cfb8b1f0c82bc8a9ae9.jpg)

Float & Smoke?  Thinking of doing that myself, but the water temp is 90 deg.  Hardly refreshing.  But as a cigar would be involved I can probably deal with it.
