    Tornados Close to Home

    We got three inches of rain and four inches of pea-sized hail. I'm northeast of Celina and thankfully it went to the south of us. We lost power and I had two scanners going trying to keep up with the county storm watchers. It got pretty western here for a bit.

    Science Fiction movies and TV shows

    Also, make sure you see them in order. Fox showed them out of sequence so it didn't make much sense if you come in during the middle of the season.

    Memorial Day reflections

    When the Traveling Wall came through they had a list of all of the names and their location on the wall. The guides can take you right to the spot you are looking for.

    I HATE SPELL CHECK!!!!!

    I use a program called Grammarly which corrects spelling as you go and depending on which version you use, your grammar. I only speak Texan and my spelling isn't the best. 🤠

    I believe it is on YouTube for free now.

    I need to get a riding mower

    I am interested in those too. They look like something off of a quad or side by side. A local TSC has actual tractor tires in that size from time to time but I wonder how rough they would be on the grass.

    The Truth About the Memphis Belle (No Hollywood)

    As a side note, has anyone seen the documentary The Cold Blue? It is made up of color combat footage taken and not used for the original movie. An interesting look at the crew and the B-17.

    Cemetery Etiquette

    I have noticed this while placing wreaths during my Wife's DAR group' Wreaths Across America Day. We pre-mark the graves that will receive a wreath but folks just wander willy-nilly around the cemetery while placing them.

    What firearm have you owned the longest?

    A Ruger MKI bull barrel I bought in 1982. It has more rounds through it than I can count. Here it is with a B Square mount with a cheap scope. The scope has been replaced with a red dot. I bought a well-used Ithaca Model 49 about six months later. It's the first thing in the truck for any range...

    one less c54

    The last two MARS flying boats that have had a long fire fighting career are headed to a museum. Good to see these rare birds are being preserved. https://skiesmag.com/press-releases/coulson-aviations-philippine-mars-waterbomber-acquired-by-pima-air-and-space-museum/

    Guitar legend Dickey Betts gone at age 80

    Another great gone. That said, who had him making 80 with the lifestyle he lived? His son, Duane Betts, plays a pretty good guitar too.
