Didn't realize he'd pull the trigger so fast. Told Dad this morning that I was going to think that Jeffries was told by Cal that he no longer had a scholarship and he could tell the press whatever he wanted. Explains the "unprofessional" remark by his father and the quick commit of Dontaie. I told him he could make up his own story if he wanted to. He laughed and said he didn't give a shit and was only concerned with this years team.

Namaste.

Welcome to the Oasis.

Thank you and the others for the well wishes. Going to eat a lot of cake these next few days. Hey Ymmot, want to help me gain a few pounds?

Sure. I've got the perfect food for gaining weight on the egg right now.

Kahlil Whitney is visiting UK tomorrow as well.

Bet he commits on his visit.

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.

Excellent news! The guy has been flying up the rankings.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

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.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

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.

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.

He/She was still there when we moved in 1976.

Do you remember "Slim" from Ray Columbia's on Limestone?

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Do you remember "Slim" from Ray Columbia's on Limestone?

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.

Did you like that Garlic Butter Au Jus on your steak?

 

[wildcatdonf]

One night in the wee hours one of the Sgts that I knew spotlighted a couple of wild rabbits and took them to Columbia's which stayed open all night then. He dressed them and fried them up, made some cream gravy and biscuits. It's been a long time ago, but it seems like that was a delicious breakfast.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

The Au Jus made it a Columbia Night Hawk Special (IMO)

Great memories.

 

[warrior-cat]

Yes it’s true
Thank you @UK82 and @wildcatdonf

Looks like I am going to have more cake today in celebration of your birthday and again tomorrow for my wife. I hope your cake and icing are as sweet as you, it will make the day taste much better.

Mouth is watering for real.

Mouth is watering for real.

The pork belly turned out great. I didn't put any brown sugar, honey, or bbq sauce on it this time in an effort to keep the carbs low. Needless to say, it wasn't quite as tasty and sticky, but still hit the spot.

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.

You can tame them until they will eat out of your hand.

This is my chip. She died in 2006.

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 from ATX. Currently 78°F. May see 100°F later today.

Belated Happy Birthday, Bev.

Happy Friday.

Y'all behave.

 

[ymmot31]

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?

• 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.

• TGIF at last.

• As you were. Carry on.
