6 hours softball. now heading back for another 2. not raining but think we will need winter jackets.
Crazy how it is in the 50s today but then going to be in the 90s on Wednesday and Thursday for me at least. It was almost in the 30s last night!

June 1st and today people were in jackets and blankets. I was OK with a sweatshirt but know it's going to get cold tonight. Clear skies and an Aurora.
 
Forgot to post yesterday. I modified the settings on the Noopsyches.

Little more blue, Little less white. The Radeon is still set to "natural reef" but I like the Duncans in that light.
 
Does anyone else experience this when they tap to view a photo? Also, in the GIF selection, it only shows me 6 when I could previously see tons.

Some pages are messed up. Mainly the ones that have a Saltwater Aquarium dot Com ad.
 
Sitting in a gas station parking lot at the Pittsburgh airport waiting from a text from the two honeymooning knuckleheads so we can drive to the terminal and pick them up. The plane landed about 10 minutes ago.
 
I saw this today riding down the beach, headed home from work. I thought of you guys immediately. I said I have to show this to my smorgasbord fam. This is as Mississippi as it gets my friends.

I might be heading to Texas this winter for some deer, hog, and turkey.
My dad worked the wild turkey restoration program in Texas in the 80s. Glad to see they're still going strong!
