Well? How was the trip? What did you eat?
The trip was good, had a great time, fantastic show. For dinner on Monday, we ended up going with her original choice, Bubba Gump's. Lunch on Tuesday was at Baker Street Pub. Didn't really have dinner that night, because of the timing of the show, so she grabbed a gyro from a street cart afterwards, and I had some Ben & Jerry's.

Today is Thursday, Aug. 17, the 229th day of 2017. There are 136 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On August 17, 1807, Robert Fulton's North River Steamboat began heading up the Hudson River on its successful round trip between New York and Albany.
On this date:
In 1863, Federal batteries and ships began bombarding Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor during the Civil War, but the Confederates managed to hold on despite several days of pounding.
In 1915, a mob in Cobb County, Georgia, lynched Jewish businessman Leo Frank, 31, whose death sentence for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan had been commuted to life imprisonment. (Frank, who'd maintained his innocence, was pardoned by the state of Georgia in 1986.)
In 1943, the Allied conquest of Sicily during World War II was completed as U.S. and British forces entered Messina.
In 1945, Indonesian nationalists declared their independence from the Netherlands. The George Orwell novel "Animal Farm," an allegorical satire of Soviet Communism, was first published in London by Martin Secker & Warburg.
In 1962, East German border guards shot and killed 18-year-old Peter Fechter, who had attempted to cross the Berlin Wall into the western sector.
In 1969, Hurricane Camille slammed into the Mississippi coast as a Category 5 storm that was blamed for 256 U.S. deaths, three in Cuba.
In 1978, the first successful trans-Atlantic balloon flight ended as Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo and Larry Newman landed their Double Eagle II outside Paris.
In 1982, the first commercially produced compact discs, a recording of ABBA's "The Visitors," were pressed at a Philips factory near Hanover, West Germany.
In 1985, more than 1,400 meatpackers walked off the job at the Geo. A. Hormel and Co.'s main plant in Austin, Minnesota, in a bitter strike that lasted just over a year.
In 1987, Rudolf Hess, the last member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle, died at Spandau Prison at age 93, an apparent suicide. The musical drama "Dirty Dancing," starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze, premiered in New York.
In 1996, the Reform Party announced Ross Perot had been selected to be its first-ever presidential nominee, opting for the third-party's founder over challenger Richard Lamm.
In 1999, more than 17,000 people were killed when a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck Turkey.
-
Ten years ago: Hurricane Dean roared into the eastern Caribbean, tearing away roofs, flooding streets and causing at least three deaths on small islands as the powerful storm headed on a collision course with Jamaica and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
Five years ago: In Moscow, a judge sentenced three punk rock-style activists, members of the band Pussy Riot, to two years in prison for hooliganism for briefly taking over a cathedral in a raucous prayer for deliverance from Russian President Vladimir Putin; the court decision drew protests around the world. (One of the three defendants was later released on probation; the other two were released several months short of their two-year sentence in December 2013.)
One year ago: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced a shake-up of his campaign leadership, naming Stephen Bannon of the conservative Breitbart News website as chief executive officer and promoting pollster Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager. Caster Semenya of South Africa made her debut at the Rio Olympics amid questions about how track and field can deal with hyperandrogenic women; Semenya qualified for the 800 semifinals, an event she won three days later. Movie director Arthur Hiller ("Love Story") died in Los Angeles at age 92.

Good morning guys. Not in the outside shower yet. Just made coffee. Watching the sunrise and smoking an EPC 2nd corona. Hope the redhead has a better day today than yesterday. She was kind of miserable on the way up, couldn't wait to get here, and when she did she doesn't seem to like the BnB thing. Guess she wanted more privacy than staying in someone elses house. Going to hit the island after breakfast. Got a feeling the heat is going to make her sick today.

Haha, my wife and daughter are all over that one. Boys have opted to golf when they go, my son asked for (and received) a starter set of clubs for his 12th birthday. Went to the range with him that day, he loves it already and has a pretty sweet natural swing

That's awesome. Good to start him early. Only 9 more years until he can light up too. I regret not playing on my high school team.

Trying to plan a long weekend at the end of the month myself. Feel bad that the kids weren't able to get away this year. Also considering Disney again in November.

Slept until 5:00, had breakfast, walked the dogs and went to the gym. Relaxing now before taking my truck to be cleaned up inside and out.

I am 90% with red on this one and would be 100 % but she lost 10 points because she actually went to try it. I don't want strangers in my house and I am sure not going to stay in some strangers house. Entire Air BnB concept gives me the creeps.
Nice hotel, lodge or private rental otherwise stay at home is my standard.

And I can understand that, warden thought I was kidding when I told her I was putting a dumpster in the front of the house to start cleaning out - bit her right in the ass too. :)

Warden turned in her official retirement notice Monday and first thing this morning they offered her a very significant additional cash bonus to stay 7 months, FMTT's, damn decisions! But this one is all on her as I am moving in early September either way.
I was well prepared for this to occur.

Sounds like your problem of suddenly being around the little woman 24 hours a day may solve itself, with pay!

I don't think she will bite unless they were to up the $ a lot more which is not likely. There is a significant cost to living in two places since we have sold the house here and bought (in about 10 days anyway) something over there.

If she can get significant additional cash, a drop dead date of 7 months, a couple of additional weeks of vacay (to help with the move) and have them pick up the cost of temporary lodging....why not?
...and as was said, this will give you time to quietly settle into retirement at your own pace.
On the down side, her arrival in 7 months will be an even bigger shock to the system...and she may be driven crazy (crazier) by them riding her for an additional 7 months.

Morning, muchachos. Late check-in because I had to drive in so I can leave at noon. Picking up a new handgun, then heading to meet up with my dad in the sailboat for the next few days.

I had my first Cuban sandwich (in your honor) while on my motorcycle trip in July. I guess they aren't to my taste. Seemed kinda bland to me. Of course, family would tell you that's par for the course with me. I like lots of seasoning and spices. I probably have fewer taste buds than others, or something.

Blinis, caviar & vodka? 8)
Doesn't sound half bad....maybe a cup of borscht as well
right cold beet borscht, with sour cream, my 2nd favorite summer soup, after gazpacho!
Cold soup, iced coffee, infused cigars, all same category. Commie!
Speaking of commie cigars, forgot to mention today's DOD...https://www.cigarsinternational.com/joecigar/

Morning, muchachos. Late check-in because I had to drive in so I can leave at noon. Picking up a new handgun, then heading to meet up with my dad in the sailboat for the next few days.

Good day Mr. Raz.

I think that's kinda like a cigar buying hiatus - good in theory, not so much in practice.

Well, I was on hiatus until the Cabelas points added up to a Glock 19. Which it did.
But...uh...ahem...I also bought two more handguns this week. A Gen3 Glock 23 and a KelTec PMR-30. I couldn't help myself. The deals were killer.

Morning Snowflakes, schedule modifications being implemented.
Slept until 5:00, had breakfast, walked the dogs and went to the gym. Relaxing now before taking my truck to be cleaned up inside and out.
Gym? Who are you and what have you done with TXDave?
Maybe it's autocorrect. I think he meant to say he went to have coffee with Jim.
I'm going to stop for a dessert, any preference?

Good News for a Great BOTL!
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The nation’s oldest veteran and Austin local Richard Overton has returned home after a week-long hospitalization for pneumonia in both lungs.
Volma Overton, the 111-year-old veteran’s nephew, said his uncle arrived back home Thursday afternoon.
“Overall he is getting better one day at a time,” Volma said. “Richard is doing much better — just the fact that he is back in his home.”
