Afternoon Y'all

Such a nice day outside , It's only 99° / feels like 114°

 

Bull Crap Mike. He nailed it. LOL. and so he puts the toilet paper on backwards. easy fix

 

Supper tonite, bbq chicken,garden tomatoes and garden corn cut off the cob and fryed in butter

 

I was there last week on Thursday night and had oysters and shrimp!

 

It’s cooked to perfection and you know it!!

 

Gettysburg this morning and a little harper’s ferry this afternoon. I did mostly videos to send to the wife but I have a few pictures.

 

... only guy I can think of that has prime rib well done with ketchup...

Good morning/evening. Starting to get ready for the season then had a great afternoon nap...good thing I still have time before it starts.

 

My old stomping grounds. My Boss at the Pentagon lived in Harpers Ferry and drove to DC every day. Better him than me.
Love that area and backpacked thru there in the 70's towards North Carolina. Made it over a few years in between jobs. Also hiked the C&O canal. 125 miles.
I'm too old for that now. LMAO

You went to Valley Smokehouse??omygosh you amaze me Marty. how did you find that.

 

Big Civil War buff here. very nice. been to both

 

Well that didn't work out very well !!!

Decided to go to my local Friday Evening car show/ cruise in even though its way to hot and humid outside. My plan was not to take the Camaro but drive my truck there as I just wanted to check out the new location . I got there at 1700hrs and it was a nice 98° / feels like 109° and was warm enough the battery in my phone was displaying a overheat warning

Started walking around the large mall parking lot and started feeling queasy and light headed . I kept drinking the water I brought with me but still didnt feel well and decided to head back home

These past few years since being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and the meds I'm taking to control it . The hot humid summer's here have really messed me up

Just got done drinking a bottle Gatorade , a package of Ritz crackers and the AC set to 73° and feeling better

 

we went through there everytime we went to see my son who was living in Baltimore after college. he didnt stay long. he was too country and redneck for that. moved back here and has been here ever since

 

You shared a picture of that prime rib and oysters and I couldn’t forget it!! But I ended up in the area on all you could eat seafood night.

 

did you like it?

 

Me too!! I haven’t been anywhere since I went to where stonewall Jackson died it was somewhat depressing so I just stopped going for a while.

 

Yes the oysters were great!

 

I’m glad you’re feeling better. Heat related issues are not fun. When I was on steroids for my eyes I couldn’t go out in the heat/sun without some sort of issue.

 

there is a battle field 2 miles from the house(Battle of the Piedmont). and 3 miles from the house was the prayer tree. it was a big old oak that Stonewall Jackson sat under and prayed. it finally fell yrs. ago. owner gave the wood to a group of local wood workers if they gave portion of procedes to veteran organizations. ive got an ink pen made out of the prayer tree.

 

I wonder what else was made of the tree that’s an awesome keepsake!! The things we have close to home are things Sherman burned. I’m not sure if it’s still there but we found the chimney butt and front steps of my wife’s people’s home. Near Stonesboro sc it was the Baxter Bailey plantation Sherman burned it down and they built a log structure in the aftermath.
