Howdy, Kathy.
It looks like we had the same thing on our minds this evening - - sunshine. LOL Friday slipped up on me and it was a last-minute scramble to think of what to play tonight, then drum something up. Had to say I laughed when I pulled up the thread to post and saw you’d gone the same route.
Things seem to be calming down a little up your way. We both had WILD wind and yours appears to still be a little gusty. The wind died down late this afternoon here. Whew!
Thank you. Glad you like them.
I imagine a whoooooole lotta folks are ready for some sunshine after the week we’ve had. LOL I sure am!
Howdy, PRO.
Any plans for the weekend or are ya just gonna kick back and relax?
Saturday Afternoon and Saturday Night coming soon. Worked in the yard all day.
We only had a day or two of rain here this week, but it is NICE to have it end for a few hours. The total eclipse on Monday is still a highlight of the week! That was so amazing and beautiful!
The Longest Craziest Most Brutal Mission of the Vietnam War
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPAcvAVDqys
As night descended on April 12, 1972, Navy SEAL Lieutenant Thomas Norris and Petty Officer Third Class Nguyen Van Kiet were steeling themselves for their third rescue attempt. Their mission was clear: to extract Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Iceal “Gene” Hambleton, call sign BAT-21 Bravo, from behind enemy lines. Hambleton, a 53-year-old experienced pilot with critical intelligence knowledge, had been evading capture for over a week. His condition was deteriorating rapidly, and Norris knew that they had to reach him that night, or it might be too late. Disguised as local fishermen, Norris and Nguyen set out in their small boat, venturing deep into enemy territory. The cover of darkness provided some concealment, but the sounds of the surrounding enemy were ever-present - the chatter of soldiers, the growl of tank engines, and the ominous presence of a massive force of over 30,000 men. As they silently paddled upriver, Norris and Nguyen were acutely aware that their disguises might not hold up under closer scrutiny. With Hambleton’s life hanging in the balance, Norris and Nguyen were determined to press on, knowing that even if they succeeded in finding him, they would still have to navigate the perilous journey back through enemy territory, where their cover might be blown at any moment.
If you don't like milk and honey,
Where the skies are always sunny,
If you don't like folks who say, "how'd you do?"
Stay out of the South!

Don't let the sun catch you crying,
Crying at my front door.
You've done daddy dirty,
He don't want you around no more.
Don't let the sun catch you lying,
Lying at my front door.
Daddy's done turned salty,
Baby, you made him sore.
