D-League

[ymmot31]

Evening, the D. Just chilling out watching the All Star game. Taking Anna to Savannah next weekend. Just going to be me and my 2 favorite girls. Little girl is going to the train museum. Big girl is going to the Pink House (fancy restaurant). Gonna cost me around 300 bucks for one day but it will be worth every cent!

Buy her a banana and a bandana from Hannah.

Good morning. I've been doing stuff today. Got the belly on the egg and everything is good to go for the next 3 hours or so. Broke down and calibrated my dome thermometer today. I got to thinking on the last cook that I didn't really know the temperature since it had been two years since I checked it. I wasn't too far off from what I thought it was but now it is dead on. I'll set the one on the medium egg before I use it next because I don't even remember the fudge factor for that one.

Don, if you don't have one of these...

then you need to get one. Best accessory I've purchased. Keeps temps more stable, gives a better more complete burn, makes separating ash and reusing charcoal much easier. Two thumbs up! It's called a Kick Ash Basket.

 

[ymmot31]

Please stop trolling for likes. TIA.

Sincerely,

An Original D-League member.

Please tell him you are joking. I love being able to get all my Wildcat info right here in the D and not have to scour the web for it. If we were limited in "likes", I would save all of mine for him.

I have one and it's one of the better purchases I've made for the Egg.

Okay, now I am pissed!

I agree as well. Hopefully uk_fan knows he is joking. FCC.

Okay, if everybody wants me to spam the hell out of this thread, 8-10x per page, and have no problems liking it, fine. No problem. Believe me, I can dig up all kinds of stuff, UK related.

Is that cool with you guys? Are you sure I will not become a nuisance?

 

[FutureCityCats]

ATC, I'm confused as to what's going on. Can you help me understand? I'm dumb as a rock about spam etc. TIA. FCC.

Sometimes too much of a good thing is annoying. The experience begins degrading for everyone involved.

Post away. Post what you want. But 10 posts on the same page from the same Twitter feed? That's annoying.

If we want to go that route, then fine. No problem.

 

[ymmot31]

I have one and it's one of the better purchases I've made for the Egg.

I got mine at an eggfest in Louisville about 3 years ago. The guy who came up with them was there and as soon as I saw one I thought it was a good idea.

Okay, now I am pissed!

Ok Bert, you caught me. I would still hold some in reserve for you.

Austin, I understand what you're saying but I cannot agree with you that it is spam, per se. It is all directly related to UK. Sure, I know where to find that info but I no longer go to KSR because the site is too hinky for me and causes my computer to lock up. I can click on his link though with no problem.

I also don't think he's fishing for likes. Why would he? It's probably easier to cite his articles one at a time when he's there than to keep going back and forth and adding them to the same post.

We are limited to 40 posts per page but as far as I know the number of pages is open ended. Everyone should feel free to post what they like here and everyone should feel free to voice their displeasure. For myself, I would prefer you put him on ignore rather than him stop posting the good info. I'm sure that everything will straighten out once the season gets started.

Love ya man!

 

[railroadkat_1]

Austin most here including me like the UK info here. you are one of my favorite posters. going through the carwash and finding money, that's great. Your vacations you keep us informed. You don't forget us. Every morning I Look for your and Rooster's post about the weather and about coffee! I haven't posted any out side of CATSillustrated..
First time to see you have a temper or a bad day There is nothing wrong with that.The reason I came here was to get rid of the idiots on the football and basketball boards. I had so many on ignore.
AustnTXCat you are good man and a friend to all............

I like the way y'all shop.

Austin does not have a mean bone in his body.

 

[wildcatdonf]

Austin, personally, I like the UK stuff. But everybody is not the same. If it bugs you, hell ......... just roll right by that stuff. You might be having a male menopause day. Please calm down. You are getting a raise the 1st. Take care, Austin. It could be this heat also.

Yes, Donfather, it bugs me.

2-3 Twitter posts on a page is no problem, but a quarter of the freaking page? Please. Let's get real. It's trolling, plain and simple.

Again, is it a problem if I post 8-10 separate Tweets on a single page? Not that I would because I think it's BS.

 

[wildcatdonf]

Everyone just relax. Austin will not stay bugged. 41102. post away. We are a forgiving bunch. My excuse is that I've been busy.

Evening, the D. Tired. Wednesday went from being my easiest work day to the busiest/hardest. Saving grace is that Thursday has become the easiest.

My 40 year HS reunion is coming up in September. I might actually attend this one!

 

[_Rooster]

OK. I've been following this food fight all day & I pretty much loved the civilized banter. Having grown to respectfully love you all, I'm not surprised. Nice to be here.

• To UK_fan_41102 stay put. You're welcome here. When I started posting I assumed every body felt I was a troll. I could tell my insanity was seen as corny here by some and over on Rafters many thought I had joined a circle jerking cult. By now I sure many of them probably think I'm a Russian anyway. Back to topic. I USED to lurk multiple sites looking for info about Kentucky sports. I do use your tweet feed for info. I try to check them out but do get over whelmed (annoyed) from time to time by the recruiting tweets when I'm at work and pressed for time so I sometimes skip them and check kyRivals for recruiting info when I get home. I know who our current players are and I target everything I can locate about our team. Basketball, for me out west, is little easier to follow than football because of press coverage and you certainly have helped with the football stuff. I too thank you and appreciate your efforts. Oh and there will be jokes.
• Austin you're an inspiration & fine as you are. I'd been here couple of weeks when I tracked down flame throwing troll and shot him point blank with this (Link) and got a friendly reminder to behave. Don did the same thing.
• Bert you're like a song in my heart.
• We need some estrogen in this room.

GO BIG BLUE

I’m a Vol. I just scroll past the recruiting stuff. Easier that way and better for my blood pressure.

Good Morning D

Okay, I'll drop the subject. Please remember I'm still very much against those who post in such a manner. It's trolling. I hate trolls.
--------------------------
At any rate, We've got 80°F. May hit 104°F later today. Looking to break heat records for the next several days.

Y'all take care.

Yikes! I sometimes do that went I get too excited. Yep, all I need is a couple of negative beverages to become unruly. Can't watch the news so I'll listen to music. It gets too loud. I'll post too much of it. My response is tribal escape and sharing in UK sports excitement. Great video (muted) I listened to Morricone, grinning the whole time.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Last day on friends houseboat on Lake Cumberland. The days here have gone much too fast. Going to try getting up on the wake board one more time. Back home this afternoon. Going to miss this.

 

[jedwar]

Morning folks.

Porch. Coffee.

60 degrees in Rex Kentucky. A little dot on the map with one old general store.

Full day of mowing today.

Many items on the to do list after that.

3 weeks from today is report day.

Last day on friends houseboat on Lake Cumberland. The days here have gone much too fast. Going to try getting up on the wake board one more time. Back home this afternoon. Going to miss this.

I was trying to learn how to ski on one way back in the day down on that lake. I fell real hard and my life jacket clasp hit me in the nose, and I had three nostrils instantly. Bled like a stuck hog. Dr. Archer did a great job of sewing my nose back together. That ruined an otherwise wonderful time on Cumberland.

Bert accused me of that. Nope I search. I chose the Union Pacific image over this CSX because of the scenery and patriotic themed UP emblem art. I'm posting this for specifically for the CSX crowd, I didn't forget.

And my personal all time favorite

 

[catfaninsc]

Afternoon leaguers of the the D. Another warm one on tap today. It’s kind of a summertime thing ya know. Smell of fresh mowed grass, ripe tomatoes, cukes and onions, Q, cold beer, fresh shucked corn and lazy summer evenings.

 

[catfaninsc]

And my personal all time favorite

Best looking one of the bunch.

Two important questions I never bothered asking before.

1 What is a "straw" boss?

2 What is "Number 9" coal?

 

[starchief5]

I have this amazing ability to skip past any post that doesn't interest me and seldom have any desire to reply to any I disagree with.
