D-League

I have tried rattlesnake meat. Not too bad. Years ago Publix grocery store sold canned rattle snake meat but I haven't seen it in years. I use to attend a wild game cookout at Cedar Key, FL once a year and they served all game meat. Rattlesnake was on the menu with gator, coon, armadillo, etc.
Rattlesnake meat = good. So many bones. Best to suck on it. Difficult to chew.

Cedar Key. I canoed with a friend down the Suwanee River to Cedar Key 40 years ago this summer. Helluva trip. We started near Fargo, Georgia. Required 8 days.
 
Good morning from the Florida Nature Coast.

Current Temp 75 degrees, high today 86 with plenty of sunshine and probably afternoon shower to cool us down. If you enjoy crystal clear water I would recommend a day on the Chassahowitzka River.. Water stays about 72 all year round and it is away from the hustle and bustle of civilization.

Y'all take care and come see us sometime.

    [*]Watch the baby deer rescue if you haven't seen it already. Heartwarming. That all happened out West somewhere.
    [*]Quiet here. Peaceful.

    [*]Be safe today.
    [*]DM is good.
    [*]As you were.

Good morning Don, football is in the air. I am ready and agree, we need a strong defense this year.

#2 grandson's employer (Agco) finances farm equipment like that. Thanks for posting that information about your occupation. You are the only person that I know who does that stuff.
 
One Sunday morning we encountered a fawn on Old Alabama Road. Traffic was buzzing along at about 50-55 mph. This little thing had disobeyed its mama and was on the centerline of OAR. I just knew that some of those fast drivers were going to squash it, but it made it back to the cover. Happy!
Don, I lived in Forsyth County for 21 years and saw it develop from a rural lake county (Lanier) into a bedroom community for Atlanta. My user name Sawnee comes from my time in Georgia and a book I read about Chief Sawnee. I could see Sawnee Mountain from my back deck. It is a great place to live but you know in all of us there is a Sense of Place and my sense of place was down here so I headed back. But I still have many friends in Georgia and miss those "basketball pre-season talks by Larry Conley"

Do you remember The Dinner Deck, an all-you-can-eat restaurant (Fried Catfish and Fried Chicken) on top of exit 13? We used to eat there a lot with our best friend next door neighbors. Leukemia killed him about 30 years ago. I took him of his last golf outing. Sad. His widow lives in Forsyth County. Fine folks. She used to make Caramel Corn for me every Christmas.
 
Ceiling fan replacement complete...aw the nice quiet sound of a whispering ceiling fan
Cattleman's in Shepherdsville was dinner last night...left full as a tick on a beagles back
getting maters by the sack, cucumbers as well...BLT's may be on deck for tonight

July bout gone..hate to say it but Christmas coming on fast..speeds up every year I think
Prolly hit Lowes up for a look around ( getting new weber grill fever) one I have now is 13 yrs old, still looks and works good but grills are like cars, you can have a perfectly good car, stop to eyeball some newbies then the fever is on....FACT!

not much shakin...carry on
 
Good morning! My sense of place is right here.

I've had my coffee already and have been doing research for the last 3 hours.

@UK82 I've got a bid in on an old Technics SL-BD10 for $14.99. Auction doesn't end until Aug 3rd and I've got my max bid set at $20. I know it's a bottom of the line piece but it's basically free so i thought I would give it a shot. It's got a Shure Pro4 stylus on the original T4P cartridge.

Taking it easy today.

I do recall that area. Of course it is all changed now. I lived off of Bald Ridge Marina Road (exit 15). When I moved there we had the only house down our road. Now Costco is next door and they are building 250 housing units. Soon it will be like Roswell.

Had we stayed in Georgia we were moving to Hiawassee

If it's working properly then you can't go wrong at that price point. That model looks like it's a belt drive which I prefer. Direct drives can be a little noisy especially at the lower end. You can easily upgrade the cartridge for better sound but it probably will sound fine as is.

Good luck with the bid!
 
Afternoon everyboDy
My brother & I visited our Mom & Dad yesterday...we were gonna do some work for them. Didn't do one thing. Talked the whole time, ate lunch, and watched some baseball. Dads mobility gets less & less every day...I guess, for that matter, doesn't everybodys? I think they enjoyed it.
Went over to daughter #2's last night...hung some pictures, put together a changing table for her. Baby shower is today.
Went to church this morning, got home & #3 was leaving for work and wife was leaving for baby shower....home alone for most of the day. Peace & Quiet. Might have to go get some ice cream........
Enjoy the weather...or the A/C.
OEC is O U T
 
tommy what ya think....


Looks awesome. I have a great recipe for stuffed bell peppers. I've made it several times and like most things, it's even better warmed up the next day after all the flavors blend. I'll definitely give those pepper subs a shot. Thanks.

Yeah, I wanted a belt drive system and I've already been researching styli upgrades. May not need one but i would think after 30 years the one that's on there had been down many miles of grooves.

Q: Does anyone know how many grooves are on the A side of the average 331/3 LP?
 
Yeah, this happens once every year with a carnival and a lot of food including fried rattlesnake.

I love rattlesnake. Each august I would go to Austin and play golf with the Koch guys. We always celebrated with a rattlesnake appetizer.

One continuous groove.
 
One continuous groove.

Ha! Congrats! You're the first person I've ever asked who knew the answer to that question.

I enjoy taking a least one and sometimes two "day trips" a week and this coming week I am considering going over to the east coast and St. Augustine. It is a great walking town and has as much history as any city in America. If you haven't been, check it out.

I would say it has MORE history than any other city. Isn't it still the oldest?

Yes it is, April 2, 1513. Over 100 years before the Pilgrims

Here is another fact people often over look about Florida. Ponce de Leon brought the first horses, cattle and hogs to America. So Florida had the very first cowboys. When the Indians attacked him and he was wounded and fled to Cuba where he died, the Spanish left the horses, cattle and hogs and they went into the swamps and bred for 100's years. There are still a few of them left in the wild,, especially hogs and they are out of control.
