Hey Don, this is the fourth cook I've got out of my last load of charcoal. 3 pork bellies that go for about 4.5 hours and some country ribs I let go for about 5. Counting preheating that's about 20 hours worth of burn. About half that load was charcoal that I made myself. Proud of it.

Growing up in the 50's I attended high school with a couple of "panhandlers" who would go around all day asking for spare pennies or nickels and at the end of the day, if lucky, thay had a couple of bucks in change.

As soon as school was out they would head down the road and pick up a half pint of moonshine from the bootlegger. The bootlegger was an elderly woman who taught Sunday School at the Methodist church. Everybody including the law knew she was bootlegging but let her be. She was only trying to make a dollar and was not harming anyone. My first taste of alcohol was Miss Runyan's peach moonshine. A time long gone.

The drunkards in Lexington used to drink "heads" that they bought from an old black woman in Irishtown. Heads is paint thinner mixed with water. They call it heads because of the skull and cross bones on the paint thinner. Back in the day she mixed it wrong and killed a dozen of those guys all in one night.

Lordy mercy. Damn. I remember Irish Town from my UK days. Rough area over by the viaduct. We stayed away because "Sweet Evening Breeze" was more entertaining anyway.

This may be the fastest committment since Larry Conley told Adolph Rupp, "don't worry about me coach, I'm coming now go out and recruit somebody to play with me."

Welcome Dontaie, we have been waiting for this day.

One night this car was coming down this narrow street that I was on, and I met a car. Then we were door to door. He had seen the Kentucky decorative license plate and said "Go Cats." He was lost. Larry Conley's brother.

I can't recall Slim but I ate many meals at Columbia's. I graduated in 1965 and left Lexington then went straight to the Army. I wonder if Slim was there in the early 60's.

Yes, he was. Matre Dee. I knew him well. He could always find me a table. That was my favorite joint for pre/post game meals. A special, baked potato from UK's experimental farm and a Dago salad. Lord have mercy.

There was a radio personality, I forgot his name years ago, but he would advertise for Columbia late at night and make my mouth water. They knew how to make a meal.

BKO was born smack dab in the middle of one of the most memorable 30 days of the century. From mid July to mid August 1969 the main headlines were:

-Ted Kennedy and the Chappaquiddick incident.
-Neil Armstrong as the first man on the moon.
-The Manson murders.
-Woodstock.
-Hurricane Camille (2nd most intense to make landfall).

Historic events indeed.

p.s. Sorry if this was a repeat of last year.

I've had pet squirrels they're fun.

Feeding more than one at the same time can get you an accidental bite.

Or get you an intentional one. Flea packing bushy tailed tree rats. Yeah tame. They'll habituate, lose fear, accept your food then bite you the first time they get pissed. It's life within the squirrel nation. Tame . . . nope.

Good morning! Only 7 hours sleep last night but I guess that was all I needed.

Have to mow today. Weed eat too.

I'll be leaving soon to get Dad. He's been in a good mood lately. I think it has freed up his mind to not have to worry about my mother all the time.

I think we should have pre-exhibition games this weekend as a run up to the Bahamas. Is that just me?

  • Good Morning, D-Leagueanites.
  • 2nd mug of Dark Magic going.
  • 70º in Johns Creek. Coming to you live Still gloomy but a little better.
  • @SawneeCat: The guy at Columbia's was named Smitty and not Slim. My CRS took over there. Thank you, Rooster. Apologies to everyone for misremembering that.
  • In addition to Columbia's we used to enjoy Hall's and that beer cheese and fried banana peppers. Long drive but worth it. Dang that road out of Lexington was so crooked.
  • 5 days.
  • Go Big Black.
  • TGIF at last.
  • Have a very nice safe day.
  • As you were. Carry on.

Ah yes, Don, Hall's on the river. That was my first introduction to beer cheese. Now I am addicted. I am growing some fine banana peppers this year and fry a mess up every night. Sweet memories of time long gone.

  • Hello and a good morning, D-Leaguers
  • enjoying my third cup of coffee on the lanai.
  • 72º in my neck of the woods and bright sunshine.
  • We had almost 3 inches of rain at my house yesterday so everything is sparkling green
  • I fertilized my citrus trees yesterday so the soaking did them good. The tangerine tree is loaded
  • The news said this is the second dampest year on record.
  • Headed to the lab for some routine blood tests before my annual check up next week.
  • I will take a day trip to St Augustine tomorrow and enjoy a little bit of history now that the tourists are headed back North. School is about to start which means the beaches and parks will be available for us natives.
  • The Big Black will tip it off in a few days. I am pumped.

Good Friday D.

Porch. Coffee. Foggy.

Mowing today. 6 yards. Hope to get all done before dark. We shall see. Daughter weed eating. That sounds tremendous. I hate it. I used round up around my house. Made my bead too wide but still don’t mind.

My to do list took a big hit this week of not getting whittled down.

4 more week days of freedom.

Be safe all.
