D-League

hahaha!! It's fun to watch all the sad sack UL fans around here. Definitely don't see as many flags and apparel which is a good thing. Still plenty of UK stuff though.

They are lucky the one in my avatar is not their DI, I heard he was crazy. Well, that is what other Drill Instructors told me their privates were saying. Here is a little secret.....It was by design.
Were you a DI at Fort Leonard Wood in 1990? The reason I ask, is because your picture looks so familiar to me.

It was released this spring, sold in such a limited quantity that most of us have no hope of seeing it let alone buying it. Just 710 bottles were filled, shipped, and sold by retailers. That’s a tiny fraction of what typical Pappy Van Winkle stocks look like in the fall. The reason the release is so small is there were only 11 barrels of this quarter-century-old bourbon.

The bourbon was distilled in the spring and fall of 1989 and stored on the lower levels of a metal clad warehouse built in 1935 at the Van Winkle family distillery in Shively, Kentucky. In 2002 the barrels were moved to Buffalo Trace Distillery, where they continued to age for another 12 years on the lower floors in Buffalo Trace’s brick warehouses. This is original Van Winkle from the long ago closed distillery. Which is unheard of.

The box is made of the barrel staves that held the bourbon.

Suggested retail price $1,800.00

Current asking market price $12,000-$16,000

No bourbon is worth 1,000th that price. Pure stupidity.

EDIT: I redid my math. Maybe 150th.

ROOSTER being a lover of the CSXRR you need photo's of the following RR's

CSX merger family tree
  • CSX Transportation. CSX Corporation was formed on November 1, 1980. ...
  • Conrail (Consolidated Rail Corporation) ...
  • Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad. ...
  • Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad. ...
  • Chessie System. ...
  • Western Maryland Railway. ...
  • Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. ...
  • Chesapeake & Ohio Railway.
More items...

Thank you!
I'm guessing the black Locomotive with the horse is the Southern RR
The brains of the outfit:

Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Louisville & Nashville was chartered by the State of Kentucky in 1850 to link its namesake cities. Control acquired by Atlantic Coast Line in 1902. ACL successor Seaboard Coast Line merged with L&N on December 29, 1982, to form Seaboard System Railroad, a subsidiary of CSX Corporation.
 
Ymmot, Bert has a tanker full he took as part of his retirement when leaving the CSX. CSX doesn't know about it. It's buried behind his guest house in a charcoal wood lined tanker.

He's almost a billionaire and that doesn't count the money the USRRB sends him and his wife every month. LOL
you are dreaming my good friend. . . . . . . ./

Ft. Sill OK 1987-1990. Was on leave in Kentucky my final month (August of 90) and was supposed to go back and teach Artillery to new lieutenant's when Iraq invaded Kuwait. I called my first sergeant and ask him to get me in a unit that would be going and he did. October 4th we left for Saudi Arabia.

Well, on my final leg of the weekend. Cut the grass Friday evening, Took wife out for lunch yesterday for anniversary, went over to old Drill Sergeant buddy's house last night for his birthday. Now going fishing for a few hours then, relax the rest of the day.

Happy Father's Day to all!

My Dad grew up in Brownsville, KY. He lived in a place where the Walton's would have been considered the rich kids on the block. When his family moved to Louisville in 1949 he got a job working as a mail runner making 50 cents an hour. He stuck with it and eventually became the CEO of the same company. He wasn't given anything, he worked his way up the ladder the old fashioned way. I didn't know until just recently how tough times were when I was growing up. Mom and Dad never complained and ALWAYS made us feel secure. Yeah I've said it before, he's my only hero and I truly mean it.
 
  • Good Morning and Happy Father's Day to you D-Leagueanites. And Beverly.
  • 72º in Johns Creek. We may have some rain some time today.
  • Dad died in 1994. His heart played out. I still miss him. QB's Dad died in 1980. Cancer killed him.
  • Dad grew up in The Great Depression. The experience marked him, such as "take all you want, but eat all you take." Patched clothing, etc.
  • Have a nice day off.
  • Take care.
  • Carry on.
 
Happy Fathers Day! I'm going down to see Dad later on and take him a couple of pulled pork sandwiches. I didn't deliver ALL the pork butt. [winking]

As soon as I see the grass is no longer glistening in the sunlight I'll be out there cutting it.

Days are still getting longer but in just a few days we'll be on the downward swing and you know what that means. Basketball action is just around the corner.:popcorn::cool2:
