Charles Krauthammer has died. RIP. That guy had a lot of guts. Tough SOB
Those guys are about 2 years old.
Live shad minnows is cheating.Both. Lunker LM like them.
Best bait I 've used . . . live shad minnows. Even better than Catalpa worms and soft craws. Just not fair. Like trolling a trailer park with Benjamins. Why I like fishing with lures, have to fool them.Panf
It is I Don Father. Back up on the Ohio River until about the end of Nov. Medical issues for me and the better half since March. But still going good. Garden out and all that. Trying to work in a trip to the Chief's Club down at the Little Creek Base. Will try to check in on here every now and again. Good to see you all moving along.
Post when you have time. I have missed your input. I hope your health problems improve. I lost your telephone number. I have looked for it, but no luck. Probably in a discarded phone. If you can put a garden in, you are in better shape than me. You'll be fine.
Nothing fancy but had strawberries and have tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. I think I still have your office number around. Try to catch back up soon.

Evening ya bunch a (fill in the blank).
Evening, the D. Hit 100 today in Charleston. Absolutely brutal. John Ward, the legendary Voice of the Vols, passed away at 88. He will be sorely missed by the Big Orange Nation.
18"x18"
FIFY
Woot! I got a surprise drive in August. Now I can't drive it again until November.
Thanks Bev!
Sorry for you dude. I understand he was like our Cawood. Tough loss because it reminds us of days gone by.

I grew up listening to John Ward calling Tennessee football and basketball. Even tho most every game is either televised or streamed now, it’s still nice to hear the radio broadcast. The good announcers painted a picture with words
Had a good time with Dad today. We ventured out to Etown via US60. Saw the Ft. Knox gold repository on the way there and decided to stop in on the way home. Was going to take too long to get a visitor pass so we'll go back again some other day.
Stopped by Otter Creek Park on the way back.
Went in and drove around West Point. Wow. That was like going back to the 60's. They've got several parks back there though where you can drive right up to the river. They have a marker there at the Veterans Park that shows the water level of the 1937 flood. Amazing to sit where we were, seeing how far above the river we were, and see the sign that showed how high the water reached. The sign was 30 feet above where we were sitting. Just looking around at the surrounding area, including across the river, was astounding. 1964 was the next lowest and I remember that one. Our basement flooded.
We had Zaxby's chicken fingers for lunch. He wanted honey mustard sauce. I said fine. Dietary restrictions are off when he's with me two days a week.

No doubt. They had to when they had more people listening than watching. There was no UK on TV when I started listening to Cawood.
Ghost are you old enough to remember George Mooney? I think John Ward replaced him. Also do the Vol's still have the Vol Navy? In the very early 60's George took his small boat up the river to the stadium and tied up to a tree to beat game day traffic. Thus the Vol Navy,
Still have the Vol Navy. Ol’ George was before my time but the few folks still around from my Dad’s generation have good things to say about his time calling UT games. AM 1510 pretty much covered Tennessee and that’s how I started listening to John Ward.
A
Great memories. George lived pretty large on a Island that I can't remember the name of. I was at NAS Memphis awhile and listened and went to see the Vol.s some. They played Old Miss in Memphis and the crowd was wild. I'm pretty sure the Vol's have always had great announcers.
I can't sleep tonight and I have already run out of posts. You guys let me down.
Heck, I just woke up.
Believe it or not, I've considered purchasing some land near Salla, Finland in the Finnish Lapland. $399 for a 30m x 30m (1076 sq. ft.) lot. To get there without flying or driving requires an overnight train trip out of Helsinki. Beautiful winter sports area. Lots of mosquitoes during mid-summer. Best to visit early-summer or early fall. Extra money to be made picking berries and other edibles from the Finnish woodlands. Located less than 20 miles from the Russian border.
+1
Due to living on the border,I also sometimes listened to John Ward call UT games. He was very good at illustrating games with words.
Sorry to hear. John Ward was a true broadcasting legend for the Vols.
My aunt Agnes also passed away yesterday morning at 87 or 88. She was the last of 11 children from a generation spanning over 100 years.
Good morning from Lakeland, FL. Currently 77°F. More showers expected this afternoon.
Unable to link up with Willy yesterday. Looking at tomorrow.
Visiting mom later this morning. Going out to eat with little brother and his girlfriend tonight.
I got nothing else. Y'all behave.

Once again into the mouth of the dragon, no wait....70° in Elgin OK, and I am readying the fishing gear for another try this week. Leaving the house shortly, but first coffee.
Tomorrow I get up even earlier to go to Tusla OK for a Karate tournament/Lifetime achievement award for my instructor of 30 years. Started with him when I was a Drill Sergeant (He worked in the mess hall at the time and trained me when we had time) and I trained with him off and on due to PCSing and returning to Sill. He is from Thailand and came here when he was 15 with his step father who was in the army. We became fast friends and he has helped me out through some rough times financially. Not only is he my Sensei, he is also my friend

Had mine growing out pretty good until last week. Wife liked it OK but, daughter did not. Had a lot of grey and white in it and she said it made me look old. I told her I was 60 and I am old. She earned some daddy points with her next response when she said "Yeah, but you normally don't look it. Gotta love my little girl.
Good Morning D - TGIF -
sitting in my truck right now, the skies are dark and lightning everywhere. about the Third cast this morning I've caught me a 4 lb Bass but, the weather has put me on hold.
Rain coming down steady for about 20 minutes but it looks as if it's going to start clearing up hopefully I'll be back at it in a few.
Caught the 4 pounder on a blue plastic Van Dam Rodant.

Morning everybody
Busy last few days...caught up on the reading, too lazy to hit the Likes....but I like'em.
Rained like an SOB on the way in to work this morning...or as Don says LaCPOaFR! Steering wheel clinched in one hand, coffee cup in the other...Golf Wednesday evening went OK, it can always be better. Lucky for me I got plenty of room for improvement.
Major league dog & pony show at work yesterday....all kind of big-wig acronymed people from corporate HQ took a tour. (CEO, COO, CHR, CMO, etc...) Spent a week cleaning/prepping for it and they were here for about an hour anda half. The redhead(my wife) & I listened to a Ky guy play some blues last night. Boscoe France - out of Madisonville Ky. Bare foot & bib overalls....dude can play. He said there is a Music/Blues fest in Madisonville (3rd weekend of Oct). I plan on going...is that close enough for anybody else on here?
Today is our wedding anniversary (27 yrs)....I honestly think she has forgot about it. She is planning a garage sale for Saturday and said she wants to stay home and get everything ready for it this evening. That was kind of why we went out last night, she just doesn't know it yet.We'll see what happens...
Congrats to Knox, SGA, JV & HD. Hopefully WG can find a roster during the Summer league. That is past....can't wait for the upcoming season. Ready for the Bahamas tour.
Good Friday D.
Coffee.

To do list.

Good morning D-League. Rainy and unseasonably cold in DC.
Any other history buffs remember this as the anniversary of Operation Barbarossa - the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941?
Maybe the most consequential day of the 20th Century. It escalated WWII to a truly global war of extermination, assured the eventual destruction of Nazism and the defeat of world fascism, directly triggered the rise of the Soviet Union as a world power and communism as a competing ideology for global dominance. And it indirectly led to the US-USSR Cold War that lasted for 45 years, with the US rising as the dominant western and Democratic power, filling the gap left by the defeat and, or exhaustion of European powers like France, England and Germany.
Yeah, I know. I'm a nerd and a gasbag. I'll tone it down.
