Hey starchief, I don't currently have access to that library you mentioned. Kinda let that go. Can you post that song by war, "City Country City" for all to hear? My record player and albums are stored downstairs.

BKO, "no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should". FCC.

 

[starchief5]

I have that album. There is an instrumental on it called "City Country City" that is one of the best instrumentals of all times. Well, my opinion. Really shows their talent.

Oh, morning. FCC.

Prince once described the sounds of old to the new music. He said it's like a piece of gum that looses it flavor very quickly,however the sound of Old is fresh all the time.

Here ya go. I doubt most will listen to a long jam (I did). By the way, just go on YouTube to find any song you wish to post. Right click on it. Select "copy url address." Come back on here, find where you want to insert it. Right click and select "paste." Eezy peezy.



Oops.

Morning D
Well - not so great news. My son is being sent home, for sure. His injury is such that he's being discharged. I hate it for him, as he wanted this so badly. His wife said that he sounded okay on the phone though; disappointed but upbeat. This puts them in a major bind financially, but I'm sure everything will work out. Also found out he's one of four from his platoon being medically discharged.
Tonight my youngest gets to do his first pep band thing. Should be fun - even if it's only a volleyball game, LOL.
Looking forward to the football game Saturday - that's a crazy thing to say, but there you go!
Hope all are well; have a good day

BKO, your son served honorably even though it was not for long. He and your family can still be proud. He tried his best and that is all one can ask of someone. As difficult as it is to recruit young men and women, they do not dispense medical discharges lightly. Especially to someone who doesn't want to be discharged.

Sorry to hear about your son Bko...keep the faith.
Beginning stages of Florence...

Big Lots has their Christmas stuff out.

 

[warrior-cat]

Mornin' D. I'm so confused by the weather news here that I'm prepared this weekend to either row out my upstairs window in a rescue boat after torrential rains or use the last of my summer sun screen to keep from getting sunburned on a hike. I heard someone describe the increasingly urgent Florence newscasts as "Weather Porn." That's about right. Now I've just tuned it all out.

Wear a hat condom just to be safe.

Sorry to hear this BKO, do you know if he is getting any disability claim or did they determine it was an EPTS problem.

A big plus one. FCC.

I'm really sorry to hear this BKO. I know from your posts this was important to him. As a father who has helped kids through setbacks I'm not going to say anything trite like "maybe it was all for the best." But it does appear that he is fortunate enough to have a great support system with his family to keep him focused on finding the next path. With that, the odds are great that he'll do fine in some new pursuit.

his wife got a letter from him today
He said that he was told he seems to have nerve damage in the shoulder? He also said the last couple of weeks have been "hell." The people he was with were great and supportive though.

I appreciate your comments; I keep telling myself maybe it was for the best LOL. But yes, we are behind this young man in every way.

[starchief5]

This is really bad. I've got to get a life away from the D.

TS I dreamed last night I stopped by Don's office. He was sitting behind a counter in a busy office. I walked up and introduced myself as Starchief. He shook my hand and said, "I'll be with you in a minute." and went on dealing with clients. I waited around for about a half hour and just left. I saw some lady walk up to him and I thought, "That must be QB". The End.

I would never do that. I would ask for your DL and credit card.

And I would have replied, "Which ones?"

I'm in for the night. Got both the floors cut and installed in the table where the eggs will sit. Looks a lot more like it's intended purpose now.

Got a call today for golf tomorrow. Supposed to meet at the church up the street at 0700. Is the Sun up yet? Monday morning I'm playing at Oldham County but that tee time is a more reasonable 1027.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Just found a $1 bill on the sidewalk near a bus stop.

Neighbor down the street gave me a Peavy 158 speaker on my way home. Good condition. May or may not work.

Life is good.

Headed to FT. Belvior Va. on Tuesday for a class with the State Department. Got an email yesterday that they will let me know sometime Monday afternoon whether the class is still on or not. Passport Agent re-certification updates and testing. Might need a boat if I go.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. We've got 73°F. May reach 83°F with perhaps more precious, beautiful, cooling rain in store.

Happy Friday! It's been a long, but very profitable week so far. Looking forward to the game tomorrow..

Hope our good friends ( @GhostVol @catfaninsc ) on in the Carolina's are safe and dry.

Y'all behave.

 

[ace on the river]

Good Morning all, Doesn't look like the hurricane is as bad as they thought ( wind speed ) was a cat 4 now its a cat 1. Still bad though. Hopefully those folks can get back home soon and get electric back.

Murray State tomorrow! We need to come out and pound those poor Racers. Think I may hit the pool for awhile this morning after I ride my bike. Hope all our Wildcat friends that are ailing start feeling better. Y'all have a great Friday

 

[_Rooster]

70°➫ 107°F Sunny, hot, dry.

Good morning D TGIF

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good mornin D. Feeling a bit groggy. My wife is taking a new job with a lot more responsibility and she isn't sleeping well - and so I'm not getting to sleep enough.

But it's a good start to the day. Bengals won and while I'm not a huge NFL guy when you live in Maryland it's good for your team to beat the Maryland team.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning D-League

Trust all that are ailing are feeling better each day. Sunshine is good for your spirit and soul. Last night we were serenaded by a very loud and active thunder / lightning storm which for some reason is my wife's favorite weather. So we slept like babies.

Florence has made landfall looks like there was some wind damage in Morehead City so that means trees taking out power lines. Loss of power and flooding is always my biggest worry when I go through one of these things. The house is built to take the wind but power outage makes life miserable. Stay safe Carolina and don't step on any downed power lines.

The weather is perfect in my little part of the world. I think I'll do what ace on the river is doing this morning, hit the pool. I am still a few weeks away from getting back on my bike but swimming is good for me. Have a great one D League. Another old post card from grandpa's collection.

 

[Bkocats]

Mornin D
very tired this morning; didn't get much sleep. On my second cup of coffee but betting I'll fall back to sleep before long
DIL is coming to pick up my youngest to spend the weekend at her place. So Hubby and I get to have a date weekend. I think we're going out tonight to see a local band play - they're quite good, great music.
Game at noon tomorrow; hope we don't have an emotional let down after last weekend.
I should probably get dishes done and laundry going....

72°F and strips of clouds. I mowed Monday and Wednesday to try to get back to even. I may even mow today to keep the grass from piling up.

BKO sad to here about your son. That is tough luck.

Ace on the River; thanks for the information. My only experience in the transportation department was back in the early 1980's. Management thought we could run some trains during the next union strike. I had the pleasure of taking a train from Atlanta, GA over the hump to a town in South Carolina. I was not good at driving a train. I broke the darn thing 5 times. I did become expert at replacing knuckles.

I will never forget what the bastards look like!

LOL, I was pretty lucky i guess, never broke a knuckle or a drawbar in my whole career. And knuckles are HEAVY

• Carry on.

Took my 3 year old Great Granddaughter to the County Fair last night. Road every ride that she could and had no fear but too afraid to pet Daisy the cow.

Hello D league friends!

Hope all of Carolina people are safe!

Heading to Ft. Walton Sunday for the week. No kid going. Plan on consuming adult beverages and relaxing!

Carry on!

Good afternoon. Home from golf and glad of it. It was nice outside this morning at 0700 but it didn't take long to get hot. I think I started sweating on about hole 3. Lost a few balls today but kept my score in the double digits. Nice course, Glen Oaks.

Couple of hours until we head downtown for the Queen show. I suppose we'll go have dinner somewhere first. It'll be like a date except for it will be with my wife.

Looking forward to football tomorrow and I'm glad it's a nooner so I don't have to wait all day. We need to steamroll these guys to make people pay attention. A slim victory will give confirmation to the naysayers.
