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.

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.

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.

Well yes, I should have said gander because it was the male protecting its mate. Swooped down and barely missed me. My mother had a pair when I got back from Germany after my first tour and she had them in the yard fenced in. Could not get in unless she put them away.

 

[warrior-cat]

There are a couple of beaver in the same pond as well. They have always kept their distance.

Back in for the night. Table is ready to be glued together tomorrow. That turned into a nice little project that sprung up from nowhere.

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

Welcome to the club. It's not so bad.

Lady Bears won the National Championship. Great game. Irish came back, but Bears prevailed.

Game was played down in Tampa. Packed house.

It will get better for me when I finally retire. Physically, I am ready, financially, not there yet.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F. Great visibility. We're expecting an 85°F high today.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Good morning D League

The weather is nice and the Chamber of Commerce is happy. The Yankees come down spend their money and go home. At least the good ones do. Life is good.

I am going to break my no basketball to watch the game tonight. Go Texas Tech

 

[Kai Slater]

Hey Everyone,
I hope you all are off to a great Monday. It's a rainy 60 degrees here today with forecasted on/off thunderstorms today.

-Are they still playing basketball? I heard that there might be a game tonight, but I'll have it tuned into the Braves/Colorado Rockies baseball.

-I'm getting a new water pump today for my old toyota. It's still rolling strong with 214,000 miles on it and now, I'm entrusting it to my oldest son to drive.

-Take care of yourselves out there, eat healthy, get plenty of exercise, and keep the stress levels low.

 

[Ben101er]

The real question is: Are you a curmudgeon yet? If so, you are ready. If not, you need some work. Go out and tell someone to get off your lawn.

 

[FutureCityCats]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but that call in Auburn game......isn't that the same call that was made against Tn that put Auburn there to begin with, both baseline corner shot attempts? But I still maintain it was two bad calls.

The refs in that Vir./Aub game did one heck of a job the first half. Maybe the best I've seen all year. They let the kids play within reason, it had a flow. How long did that half last? Maybe 40 min. or less. That doesn't happen if you don't allow the flow to develop and stay in it.

Gotta work until 11-4. So y'all keep her tween the ditches. FCC

Did any poster witness the sucker punch on the basketball official last night in Paducah? It was an AAU game. The official got a broken collar bone and a facial injury. The perp was arrested for Battery. All of the aforementioned was alledged.

That reminds me of an good old joke:

Do you know the difference between a Yankee and a Damned Yankee?

A Yankee is a person who was born up north.
A Damned Yankee is a person who was born up and moved to the South.

I offer graduate courses in Curmudgeonary. Of course I charge graduate course rates.

I hope Higgins was moonlighting.

You really didn't want to get close to those guys anyways.

Celebrated annually since 2014.

Dad used to load one coon dog (a red tick) and my dog (Rex)(Dad was teaching him how to coonhunt.) into the trunk of our car (a '49 Chevy) and off we would to Maw Maw and Paw Paw's (about 20 miles away) to listen to them run coons. Those two would do some farting. I was little (about 7), but I had to go with him to learn about coon hunting.

I ended up winning the bracket pool here at work...not real hard to do though, easy money. ($165)
Most of them are IU fans and hate Kentucky, SEC & Purdue. They're not the smartest group when it comes to picking teams.
I'll admit I got lucky, I had Texas Tech in the Final Four.

ault of a sports official during a tournament in Paducah, Kentucky.

According to the , Keyon Menifield, 40, of Flint, Michigan, assaulted a referee at the Paducah (Kentucky) Regional Sports Plex.

The referee has been identified as Kenny Culp of Paducah.

“During the disagreement the referee turned to walk away,” the Facebook post read. “As he did, Menifield punched the referee, knocking him unconscious, causing minor injuries. Menifield then fled the area prior to Deputies arrival. Menifield was quickly located at a local hotel and taken into custody.”

SPORTS, DELIVERED:

Menifield was arrested and lodged in McCracken County Regional Jail. First offense assault of a sports official is a Class A misdemeanor, the Facebook post said.

, Menifield said “buddy called us a name he shouldn’t have but that doesn’t make it right for me to put my hands on him” and apologized to “the victim, my parents and kids” along with the tournament director and Culp’s family.

Shannon Oglesby, manager of the Paducah Regional Sports Plex, said Sunday the AAU event was for high school players. She could not provide the name of the person in charge of the event.

 

[wildcatdonf]

The Ref required medical services of Vanderbilt emergency folks for a broken collarbone and another fracture in the nose area. The Assailant said that the referee called his group a name that he shouldn't have. That is from the Paducah paper. I won't mention it again.
