D-League

Good morning D! Lots of rain last night but first time for sleeping like a baby in awhile. I needed it plus you can water your grass but nothing brings life like rain.

Has GhostVol been buy at all? cordmaker how are you? Man more coffee!
Watched spring game with some good signs. We have some massive o-lineman. Coach Cal out recruiting. Things here are good!

Not to my knowledge.
 
Afternoon D.
Went in to work this morning, finished watching the Masters after I got home.
Took a nap afterwards. Not much else to do on a day like this....cool, wet, & breezy.
Had to move a washer and dryer yesterday for my daughter. She is moving....again. Washing machines are not fun to move into a basement.
Seems as if all are doing well...
I think there's a 5% chance KJ comes back and 10% chance Herro comes back...just my opinion.
Every time I find money, my wife finds it about 15 minutes later...
 
Good morning from my house to yours. Currently 58° and clear but very breezy. . A high of 78°. The girl on the radio said a cold front is coming through with temperatures dipping into the 40's. At least we will get a lot of sunshine but this is getting old. The cut off for sweaters and jackets is Easter. After then they are no longer allowed.

I had planned to do a lot of tree spraying today but if it is too windy my plans will change. How many of you have had this experience in your life. My grandpa taught me to be a plow boy gee-haw. Lots of memories from those days

Hi and Good Morning D-League,
Wow, it's cold out here at my house. The thermometer on my home weather station says 39.4 degrees, headed for a sunny 65 later on. Then, back up to 79 degrees tomorrow. It's also been very, very windy, with gusts around 40 miles per hour. Stuff was blowing all over my yard from adjacent houses, but no major damage.

-Tiger Woods won the Masters golf tournament again. I watched the last 3 holes and I never thought I'd see him win again.

-Lot's of fun MLB action to follow. Did anyone see the in-broadcast interview with Hank Aaron last night. In my mind, Hank is one of the most unappreciated greatest all-around hitters of all time. Even if you took away all of his homeruns, he would still have over 3000 hits in his career. I could listen to him tell stories about baseball's golden era all night.

-I'm not worried about UK basketball roster with all of the who's coming in, who's leaving, who is staying, and everything else. We probably won't know for a while anyway, so I'll just leave it behind and check back in on much later on to see where the chips fall into place.

-Hopefully in it's sunny and nice where you are; take it slow and enjoy it.
 
We probably won't know for a while anyway

No need to stew & fret about it until May 29: Deadline for underclassmen to withdraw from draft process—and terminate agent relationships—in order to retain NCAA eligibility. It's just a waste of time until then.

Morning D.
Monday
Coffee
Best night of sleep I've had in a loooong time....and that's with a Sunday afternoon nap.
Hey, did you hear Tiger won the Master's?
Oh to be retired.....
 
Good morning all. Only getting up to a brisk 54 degrees in Ashland today, with a low in the 30's tonight, but back up to 75 tomorrow. Oh well, spring in Ky. Hope everyone files by the end of today. I had to have the accountant file an extension. Just couldn't get all my business info to them in time to get my personal return filed in time. I have to pay anyway, so what is another $20 in interest? It is worth the pleasure of not paying them until the last minute.
 
Good morning D-League. It's cold here in the Berg, had to start my wife's car early his morning, it had ice on the windshield! Spring in KY!!!! You know we can deal with our on problems but when our kids are hurting it kinda takes on a different view!!!! For you ole railroaders you probably heard you know that something is going to happen if you work long enough it's just when it's going to! We don't know a lot of details yet but my son is ok physically. Just hope I can find out more today! I hope everyone has a great and safe day!!! GOD is GREAT!!!! I have been praying for all of you that are hurting in body and mind!!!!!
 
I just walked back in the house. Been outside and walked through the garage and there he was. A huge snake. At least a 6 footer. I grabbed the first stick i could find but it was not strong enough to hold him. He got away and ran up under the refrigerator. I will go back out in a minute or two and get him back outside. If my wife finds out about this she will freak out. She was not raised around snakes like I was and gets scared around them.

Sawnee, back in the late 80's we had a tough regional drought. Terrible, my baby Diana was about 3 years old. I watched as she keep staring into an old sand pile.
I walked over and there was 4 to 5 baby cottonmouths. I went crazy getting her back into the house. I went to the garage and not first weapon of choice grabbed the weed eater. Oh man I did some slicing and dicing.

I worked for my neighbor as General Manager of a Mobil Industrial Lubrication Business. During this time I get to my office and In the corner is a huge Cotton mouth. The only weapon I had was a 3 pronged coat hanger . It was a circus, miss, miss, miss hit. Went on about 10 minutes till I finally got a head shot.

Every snake that passes by me will face a certain death. My MOTTO is kill first then identify. They just give me the creeps.
My friend hope you removed the one in your garage.
 
  • Enjoyed this past weekend.
  • #3 surprised us Friday night. He had been at Ft. Benning for Mortar School and dropped by unannounced. He likes to do that. Enjoyed him a lot.
  • It turned into a party. Everybody was here except #2 and #5. #5 was doing his high school graduation and #2 already had made plans for a Braves game.
  • This is a cold Monday morning. About 46º. Brrrrrrrrrrr.
  • Happy for Tiger Woods. Lot of good players.
    • My Ailments.
    • HBP.
    • Joints all hurt.
    • Rotater cuffs hurt.
    • Body decrepit in general.
    • That is all.
 
Matt Jones is not doing it for me today.

I have quit listening to them. Their inside recruiting info has dried up and all they want to do is talk about their bar, wrestling and what they watched on TV. If they do say something that I need to know, someone else will filter out all of the other BS and post it on Rafters.
 
Good morning! Been busy this morning cleaning and cooking. I've got a 3.5lb beef tenderloin in the sous vide for the last two hours. Getting ready to take it out and put a sear on it soon.

I'm interested in what's going on with the team right now, but like you guys, I'm not going to put a lot of effort into it right now.

Should have mowed a couple of days ago when it may or may not have needed it. Now it needs it.

Great story. Cotton mouths. Man oh man that is one snake that brings fear and caution. A diamond back rattle snake will at least warn you.. A cotton mouth is aggressive. I attended a poisonous snake seminar many years ago offered by an animal rights group.. The instructor insisted cotton mouths just want to be left alone and will not go on the offense but will run from trouble. I immediately spoke up and said that was about as crazy a statement as I have ever heard. Obviously the person had not be in the Florida wild. In the year 1977 I was fishing with three other friends on the Withlachoochee River. This is a very wild river that runs to the Gulf of Mexico and we were in a very remote area. Probably a good 15 miles from anything as the crow flies. One of my buddies asked me to take a long cane pole and check the depth. We were about 2 feet from shore. I thought it was about 2 or 3 feet deep and when I checked I must have hit a gator hole because I didn't reach bottom and my momentum threw me into the river. Above were live oak tree limbs hanging over the river and unknown to me cotton mouths were hanging from the limbs. As I hit the water two cotton mouths dropped into the water and another buddy yelled "COTTON MOUTHS". I swear I came out of that water so fast it had to set a world's record. When I got in the boat I was shaking all over. My friend took a his pistol and shot both of them. A cotton mouth will take you out of this world and I don't mess with them.

And yes I did get the black snake out of the garage and into some brush near the house. I want to keep him safe because I have so many pests that come out at night I need all of the help I can get.

DEATH AWAITS.

This.

That instructor (total ignorant ass) had never been around a cotton mouth.

My second move to Florida occurred in 1992. We were down looking for a place to live. A guy and girl couple at CSX from Detroit were staying in the next motel room next to us.

She got bit by a cotton mouth near the water. The s.o.b. (cotton mouth) followed her and hit her twice before they killed it. That is not the mark of a snake that wants to be left alone. The girl was in the hospital for two weeks.

A cotton mouth is pure evil.

I wonder how many folks that that instructor got hurt. Cotton mouths are the most aggressive snack that I have ever seen. Plus the cotton mouths in Kentucky are as nasty as the Florida, Georgia, Tennessee or South Carolina versions!

Very scary, indeed. I don't like snakes either, but I don't kill non-venomous snakes if I have time to identify them.
 
I hate to see stuff like that.

It is a work of art and I am not a Catholic. I protested against that church but they are good folks.
This is tragic. France has pretty much gone secular and I doubt few people attended the church but as you indicated it is as work of art. Art that can never be replaced. The building itself was architecture from an age that can not be duplicated. Plus all of the contents and artifacts inside. It is very sad

Stepped on one last fall that was sunning at one of my fishing holes and I killed another one at rattler pond last year as well. Will pull up picture when I get home from work.
