Not Looking Good For The Home Team

 We found out a couple of months ago that MLB.TV is taking over the broadcasting of the majority of the MLB teams, including the Reds.  And unfortunately Spectrum hasn't reached a deal with Reds.TV yet.  I'm not going to buy a new smart TV, only to have to pay to subscribe to MLB.TV.  Opening Day is a week away, so I'm hoping Spectrum will reach a deal.  If not, it's going to be a long summer for the Old Man. 

Ohio Valley Weather Update

On Sunday, we had winds of 40-50 mph all day. At night, we had tornadoes and rain.  Monday morning and yesterday morning, we had temps down in the 30s with some light snow.  I'm ready for this mess to end.  

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Top o' the mornin' to you, ladds and lasses!  Here's one of my all-time favorite jokes, that just happens to be an Irish joke.

Paddy O'Bryan was not home at his usual hour, and his wife Kathleen was fuming, as the clock ticked later and later. Finally, about 3:00 AM she heard a noise at the front door, and as she stood at the top of the stairs, there was her husband, drunk as a skunk, trying to navigate the stairs.

"Do you realize what time it is?" she said.

He answered, "Don't get excited, I'm late because I bought something for the house."

Immediately her attitude changed, and as she ran down the stairs to help him, she said, "What did you buy for the house, dear?"

His answered, "A round of drinks!"

Under The Weather Again

I am under the weather, literally and figuratively.  I made a full recovery from my stomach bug, and now have a head cold.  And we are expecting bad storms with high winds tonight.  I don't feel bad - just dealing with head congestion.  

Stay tuned. 

Back In Action

  I was under the weather yesterday - I caught a stomach bug and had a rough Tuesday night, and didn't get much sleep. So I stayed home yesterday and rested. I ate some chicken soup broth last night and feel much better and rested today.  I even felt good enough this morning to get back to painting bottle caps.

Update From The Compound

 I am very happy t report that the big freezer is still working fine.  That is a load off my mind. 

Update From The Compound

 I was relieved to find that when I adjusted the temperature on the freezer that all is back to normal on it.  I know  - I usually say "normal" is just a setting on the washing machine.  But everything was still frozen.  As I said yesterday, lesson learned.
