Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F. Moving to the upper-80s by late this afternoon.
Happy Hump Day.
I'll check in later. Y'all behave.

D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
A good early morning D League. Still adjusting to my wife's ultra-early shift.
Plus, her sick friend has taken a turn for the worse so my wife was with her until midnight and came home stressed. Tough for her to go to a new job on short sleep. So challenging days for us.
Didn't get to see the end of the playoff game. My Cub fan friends at work will be bummed. A week or two ago they looked like certain division winners and now lose two must-wins and go home. That's baseball.

Morning D. Greetings from the shanty.

- Good Morning, D-League
- 73º and sunny in the City of Mermaids. High of 89.
- Coffee very good this morning.
- I relax by working in the dirt and yesterday I got a whole lot done in the dirt. Still have a lot to do.
- It is the middle of the week but I am still focused on football. Texas A&M will offer our biggest challenge to date IMO. I think our team will rise to the occasion.
- Have a great day, stay safe and if you are near the Chassahowitzka River be careful. A big gator was spotted there and he wasn't too happy.

71°F here at 9:00 am local time. Humidity down to 75%, with wonderful sunshine. I will probably mow the yard today. A man's work is never done.
Wonderful start of the football season. Hopefully we can beat A&M.

Remember when we were kids and this time of year (at least for those in the Cincinnati TV market) teachers would let you watch a few innings of the World Series games, especially when the Reds were involved in the 1970s? I used to love that bit of autumn tradition.
I'm not sure my 18-year-old son has ever seen the ending of a World Series game. I know he didn't when he was a kid the age when baseball used to be so important for boys. The games start too late and even on weekends they are night time games to get the higher ad revenues. That -- along with the constant churn of line-ups post-free agency -- seems to be killing the game for young people. Baseball is way down the list of my son's interests. We enjoy going out to the Nationals park a couple times a year when the Reds are in town but he doesn't follow any team in the standings, or memorize batting averages and ERAs.

- Good Morning, D-Leagueanites and Lurkers.
- 64º this morning in Johns Creek. Blue sky. Very pretty.
- Hump Day.
- No news to speak of.
- Be careful.
- Carry on.
I had a 66 Triumph. Lucas electrics 
When I rode it my wife had to follow me in the car to pick up the pieces that vibrated off it. Wish I still had it.

No news is often good news. Have a wonderful day Don
I wore one of those leather helmets in the 7th grade. It was in brand new condition. I weighed about 80 pounds. I was a scrub. Pop Waggoner loved to watch me tackle other little guys.

Distilled in 1926 and bottled in 1986, The Macallan Valerio Adami 1926 60-year-old, referred to as “The Holy Grail of whisky,” What stands out with this bottle is the label’s artwork and the limited number produced. At the time, renowned pop artists Valerio Adami and Peter Blake were commissioned by Macallan to design labels for 24 bottles, with each artist contributing to 12 bottles.
One sold at auction Wednesday for $1.1 million.

My Mother's mother was trying to learn to drive in a floor shift Chevrolet. She ran over the mailbox and never would try it again.

The way the old bones are feeling today you would think I was in that pic.
What is a Aggie definition?
A person who attends an agricultural college is called an aggie. Licensed from iStockPhoto. noun. The definition of an aggie is an agriculture college, or a student at such a school.

Doubt that. The starting left guard for the D was never a scrub.
I'm so tired from no sleep last night (see reasons above in 6:07 post) that I just made an afternoon cup of coffee without changing the pod in the Keurig machine. In other words, I'm drinking hot water with one Coffee Mate and one Sweet and Low. Not that bad, really, but limited caffeine value.
I found that one but it was only 100 proof. I picked up something else today to bring to your house. I think you'll like it since they had only received one bottle of it. It's not 1.1 million dollar bourbon, but it's special.
I think that may have been the turning point for me as well. That and the strikes.

Arkansas is the only state mentioned in the bible. "And on the 41st day Moses looked out the Arkansas that it had stopped raining"...
Sure glad they didn't say we fought like BlueJays, or some other toothless bird.

Congratulations Bert! That will look awesome on your bar until I come to visit.
That's a pretty recent photo. Notice that there are not only 13 stripes on that flag, but also 50 stars.
Played golf today and it was a 5 hour round. whew! That's a long time to be out in the sun. I'm kinda tired.
I love my new nonstick pan by the way. Fry an egg in there and it leaves no residue. In fact, you have to be quick to flip it or it will just slide away from you.
Columbus day coming up. Some people attempt to disparage him. He's OK in my book even though he's no Magellan.
Wouldn't surprise me at all to hear that Stoops had taken some hints from Cal about building team spirit. He hasn't said it out loud yet, but I can sense a "be your brothers keeper" moment coming in a post game at some point. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Still have some babyback ribs left over. Bet they don't make it through the night again.

I won't be watching the Playoffs nor the World Series. Not watching NFL either. I really DGAS about either one. I will be watching the Cats though.
We do not have to wait for Austin to show up. Come a week early and we will drink that bottle and let Austin drink that cheap beer he loves!
It is a shame that they only sold one bottle. Dang.
Well, the City of Atlanta showed the Braves. They treated the Braves like a step-child. The Braves moved to Cobb County.
Back to the Judge Kavenaugh Chronicles.
Hey Don. This guy was spotted in Atlanta yesrerday.
Oops. The video never showed up in my post.
We never had a car until I turned 16. Neither of my parents could drive. I tried to teach my mother when she was about 50. She could not figure out which direction to turn the steering wheel when turning. She gave up very quickly.

I would not have paid a dime more than $900K. It could be filled with soda pop and no one would ever know since no one will ever open it.
You would have been in the ballpark then. In May, a bottle of The Macallan Valerio Adami 1926 sold for $1.05 million, which was the world record at the time. At that same auction, a bottle of The Macallan Peter Blake 1926 sold for $976,000.

I was all in on him until I found out he threw some ice when he was in college. Can we really trust someone to interpret the constitution who threw ice? I may excuse throwing a snowball, but ice? As a society we must have boundaries.
they say they still have the ice he threw.

I'm sure they do. Monica kept the soiled dress that Bill gave her. Weaponized ice is surely more conclusive than that.
Residue in the ice dried and soiled some ones underwear. I'm not telling who's.
9 When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over.
10 “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
