Shouldโve humped more water. Big Red started dragging, and the humidity was off the charts. By the end of the hike, I was carrying everything but the cotton. Funny thing is, ten years ago we hiked this trail and three others the same day. Back then it felt easyโlike walking on velvet. Today, sweat was pouring off both of us, every hill seemed a little steeper, and I found myself wondering what the hell happened.
Then it hit me. Ten years happened. Still, we made it to the top, and the view was worth every drop of sweat. Iโll share that tomorrow.
Ilia Topuria talked a lot of shit about Justin Gaethje. Everyone wrote Gaethje off as a 6-1 underdog. Gaethje is probably the most patriotic American fighter in the UFC. Sunday June 14, fighting on the Whitehouse lawn, America's birthday(250), trumps birthday(80). Topuria was undefeated, 18-0 going into this title fight. He's never had anyone take him into deep waters. His fights are usually over in the 1st or second round. Gaethje has been in wars, knows what it's like to go 5 rounds. Check their fight out on YouTube, Gaethje beat the shit out of him, Topuria quit on his stool after the 4th round. Then carted off to the hospital with a broken orbital bone, broken nose, broken ribs, and a concussion. Topuria did all the talking, and Gaethje humbled him...

h0ly shit!!!! I remember Lt Fleming when he was a Cherry Butter Bar, the 1st day he reported to C Co 2/9 Inf Regt! we got 3 or 4 new LTs that week, and when we PCS'd to Ft Lewis, WA, LT Fleming was my XO, AMAZING guy! very down to Earth, no Officer mentality, Calm, Cool, Collected! always, always. ALWAYS a very cool guy! and to find out he stayed in 28 years as a Full Bird Colonel made my day!
Making progress, theres more than I thought to be removed to reinstate the slope of the footpath. 150 years, about 4 cubic yards is my best guess. I found an old coin, put it in my pocket, lost it. Anyway Ive got more than enough to steal for out the back path. When it rains, all the mud will wash down and just leave the gravel.

So I'm watching Telemundo Indy.(WDNI-CD)For those who wish to themselves.๐ They go over the World Cup, basic local scams,petty crimes,a murder or two.Gas prices lowering and they finally get around to this Iran deal.So the lady is trying to explain some of the details.They show some Republicans and Democrats on the floor.Against it.Wanting to know more.It almost feels unreal. Is the Federal Government kidding us? A deal?? With who?? Release 300 Billion of sanctioned funds back to Iran?? What do you think the clerics will do with that money? Buy strip malls?? Didn't we just go through this with the other guys Nuclear deal?? Has anybody in ANY administration ever read The Quran? They are NOT stopping until Israel no longer exist.Period. There is no DEAL to make with them.They do not have fundamental religious differences. They have ways of life.If the powers that be had legit intel on The Iranians development and expansion of its nuclear and highly enriched uranium programs.Then why wasn't it formally presented to the HPSCI and SSCI?For Congressional authorization to reduce them to a hole in the ground? Also why didn't Russia,China,India and Pakistan levy these charges before us?They are a helluva lot closer to Iran than us.Last time I checked Russia and China are not muslim.Why on earth would they allow Iran to develop a weapon of such in their own back yard? Make it make sense. Bombs cost money.Did Haliburton,Northrup Grumman,Blackrock,Lockeed Martin etc. get paid in this??I mean like wtf?? A deal??? With who??How the fuck can you make a deal with people that don't want you to exist?You think they are going to muster up some truth??Sign on a dotted line.Or agree to some terms??๐๐๐ Cue it...
