And for St. Patrick’s Day I find I must relate this Irish Ballad to you. Enjoy as it’s a tradition.

Good late afternoon, GoGo. At 1700 it's 41 in Louisville, having dropped from 55 around 9 this morning. Brrrrr! Hard freeze down to 26 tonight.

I've pretty much loafed all day except for calling my Health Savings Account folks and getting my account unlocked. That seems to happen more and more often these days. I don't forget to write down my password, but I sometimes fail to delete the old note, so when I go to find the file with the password, I come up with 2-3 of them. So, after I've tried the past 3-4 passwords, I get locked out. Then today I got to talk with a chap who was friendly enough and seemed competent, but he was either in India or Indonesia, I'm not sure which.

FB, please pass my condolences along to Jan. Hard for me to imagine losing both a nephew and a brother within days of one another. I have only one sibling, a brother two years younger, and I pray that I go before he does. My younger daughter died just under two years ago and I still get teary-eyed if I let myself dwell on that loss too much.

We'll probably go out for a beer afterwards, then Sue and I are meeting him and his girlfriend for dinner. I think they're getting serious, and he wants to leave Baltimore to be closer to her. She's a cutie, so I can understand that. LOL

Charlie, I was quite pleased to hear about this young man and the cutie he is getting serious about, but dang, man, don't you think it was a little much posting her picture?

Nearby pond was teaming with wild life to include dozens of Yellow Bellied Slider turtles and at least three gators.

Good thing those grandkids are from Florida as they should already know better than to mess with gators. Main thing my mom had to worry about in terms of wildlife was cottonmouth snakes.

Hope y'all had a good day and that you stayed safe. Prayers up for Jan's family and all others here with medical issues.

Evening all, temps have dropped from 57 to 38 and on the downward spiral. Got busy this am, had some running around to do, including dropping my Tundra off for repairs at The dealership. While I was in town, went by a couple of local gun shops, and came out with a good deal on a mint condition TC Conteder barrel, 10"Bull in .222 Remington, for $185 out the door. Need to come up with a decent vairable scope for it. While we were eating a quick lunch at Arbys in Somerset, who dropped in but JR and Miss Judy. They sat down besides us and we had a great chat before leaving. Me and JR have always got along great, Paula and Judy seem to have hit it off great also. FB condolences to you and Jan, prayers sent for you both. Hope you all have a wonderful evening, prayers sent for those that need them, Buff out.
