D-League

[ymmot31]

Well the smoke finally stopped. I'll check it tomorrow to see what I have or have not done. Can't open it up until it cools down or the charcoal will catch on fire when the oxygen hits it.

When I built the table it was flat across the top and I had to cut two holes for the eggs to fit into. I just sanded and glued one of those circles back together to make a table top. About 24" in diameter. Large enough to hold a couple of beers and some snacks. I have a 4x4 to use for the support and I'll make the legs out of 2x6. A cocktail table of sorts.

Getting ready to take a bacon cheeseburger casserole out of the oven. Bet I eat too much.

Howzit going D-League!!

It's a cloudy, foggy, wet, 54 degrees here in Hamilton Co, TN, headed for 76 and mostly cloudy later on. The rains overnight have left things wet, but at least the pollen is washed away for a day or two.

-Like Sawnee Cat said, I also won't be watching the final 4; I'm even having trouble remembering who is playing. For sports, I've moved on to baseball and the Braves.

-This weekend, I'm going to clean and brighten up my lanai with some nice plants. Can I call it a lanai here in TN?

-Speaking of plants, I'm also going to refresh the dirt for my tomato, bell pepper, and herbs (cilantro, lemon balm, peppermint, and basil).

You all have a nice day, keep the stress levels low, and enjoy it.

A lanai in TN is called a screened in porch. Floridians are uppity.

I've been talking about building a screened in porch but now I'm creating a lanai.

It is now clear that even God supports the ACC. What an ending.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Wow, what a finish in the UVA-Auburn game. I actually pulled for the Tigers. They may have got robbed.

Missed double dribble with 5 seconds to play. Auburn now knows how UK feels in these tight games. I mean the ref was right there. How could he miss that call.

 

[UK82]

BTW happy anniversary Sawnee. Our 30th is this Monday, April 8th. Got reservations to an Italian restaurant within walking distance.

Nope. The NCAA and refs. The kid from UVA double dribbled when it went off his foot, then picked it up, with both hands, and put it on the floor. The infraction was before the Auburn player fouled him. It should have been Auburn's ball with a couple of seconds. The last play would never have happened.

cracker barrel breakfast this morning, then off to Lowes..Dropped 6 hundo on landscaping stuff to be delivered next week. Grass mowed, weed eating done, water fountain moved. Tomorrow hope to beat the rain and plant some in the garden..Chili dogs was supper....
Auburn lived by the non call then dies by the non call, they don't care, their trophy was won last week.....life is good!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Pulling hard for TTU in the late game. Tough stuff.

They weren't robbed. They served a specific purpose and were no longer needed.

I didn't watch the game, but he didn't miss it. He just didn't call it.

Everyone thought wrestling was real at one time.

I'm a cynical old man and I haven't even hit 60 yet. This is going to be fun.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Happy for the Red Raiders? I work with a couple TTU grads. I know they happy.

 

[UK82]

Texas Tech has a hell of a team. They give me a reason to watch Monday night.

Reminds me a little of old Tubby teams on steroids. I think TTU may still have a couple leftovers from his days. Wow!

Happy for ya bud, I remember you saying you and your wife were pulling for them. I am too now. They are racists though for firing Tubby. Minnesota and Memphis too.

Coach Smith put together some really good teams 2003-2005. I attended the Elite Eight game here in Austin back in 2005. His time expired.

Since Coach Cal arrived, life has been wonderful. We're in the hunt nearly every season.

Was hoping for a TTU, AU final.

Going out this morning on my second fishing day this year this morning. Last time it was 1-1. Need to take the lead for ego sake.

 

[FutureCityCats]

Morning. I thought it was a no call on Auburn. What about defensive verticallity?I thought the same on the Tennessee player too as y'all might remember I said. The double dribble. Quite honestly, I was was watching and I missed that one. I was looking at the Auburn player and wondering why in the heck he didn't jump straddle that ball. Pearl mentioned God in his post game. Speaking of which, see y'all in a couple of hours. FCC.

Had a falcon as a neighbor for a couple days back in '12.

Called him Signore Falco.

Bunch of great video of he and I communicating, him flying.

So, I see where Bryce Brown of Auburn was unhappy with the refs. What did he say about them not calling a foul on Auburn for the last 9:18 of our game? Bet he thought they did a fine job that night.

Stayed up until 0200 this morning watching a show on tv and woke up at 0900. That's a good schedule for me.

Bacon cheeseburger casserole was pretty good last night but not much different than just making bcb's and eating without a bun. Probably a one hit wonder.

Looking forward to the big reveal on the charcoal later. I'm apprehensive about the results because there was entirely too much smoke for the duration of the burn. I don't think that's a good omen.

Have a great Sunday and do what you do.

 

[ymmot31]

HaHa, here's a funny headline...

Duke looking into allegations that Nike paid Zion's mom


looking into it, or creating the story that there is no way Duke could have known anything happened, therefore, nothing happened.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 65°F. We've received lots and lots of beautiful rain over the past 18 hours. Power went out a few times. Should let up soon.

I really enjoyed basketball yesterday. Happy for TTU. Hope they beat UVa come Monday. Plan on watching NCAA women's championship late this afternoon.

My usual chores are on today's agenda. We'll check back later. As always, y'all take care and behave.

 

[starchief5]

Good Final Four so far (inasmuch as UK is not playing).

1 No hated teams are in it.
2 Other than possibly Mich State, they earned their way there.
3 Great games going down to the wire, except MS petering out at the end.
4 Should be a great Final.

Definitely not Falco but a Buteo, likely an immature Red-tail Buteo jamaicensis but don't bet the house. Linky
"Señor Buteo" is indeed a fine neighbor as ground foraging woodland generalist that knows exactly what a squirrel is good for has found parks and suburbs suitable places to live. He would like to thank you and happily accept an occassional fowl bird to subsidize his predatory nature.

Had a power outage for about an hour or so while I was cleaning the workshop. Kept right on going but without music or lights. Now I'm building the table I mentioned yesterday. Started out just seeing how things were going to work and one thing led to another.

Came in to have a bite and I have to say, this casserole tastes very very good! An overnight ride in the fridge made a big difference.

 

[warrior-cat]

Well, back from the fishing morning and the score is Warrior-Cat 3 - Big Mouth Bass 2. Nothing worth keeping though. Got Buzzed by goose who did not like me being at the pond.

I had a guard gander for a while. Real good at it too,

. . . until "Suede" (Sister's yellow lab) retrieved it for me.​

Good morning D-League

It is a pleasant Saturday morning and the coffee taste mighty good this time of day. Temperatures will be in the 80's by mid afternoon. I am headed down to Indian Rocks Beach for a few days. Staying in a nice little cottage on the Gulf of Mexico. Old school. Celebrating my 52 year wedding anniversary.

On this day in 1967 my Commanding Officer gave me a 3 day pass to marry my fiancee of two years. I was stationed at Fort Knox, KY and we were married in Ashville, North Carolina. When I picked up my pass the Captain said you better come back here a married man, and stay out of Louisville. I really didn't have any money back then making less than $100 a month as a soldier boy so my girl gave me a $20.00 bill and said "let's do this". I had saved my money and bought a ring so that cost was covered. North Carolina required a pre-marital physical exam by a doctor and a blood test. That cost me $6.00. (still have the receipt). Our marriage license was $5.00. I gave the preacher man $5.00 at the First Baptist Church in downtown Ashville to marry us and we had a few dollars left over to buy some gas and get back to the U.S. Army.

That is how you did it 52 years ago. They said we wouldn't last 6 months. They were wrong. Oh, the reason we picked April 7 as our wedding day. Because in 1967 the NCAA tournament was over and I did not want our future anniversaries to conflict with the NCAA basketball tournament. It was finished by the end of March in those days.

Belated congrats.

I once was attacked by a Canadian Goose in Chicago. They really hurt when they bite.
