I'm watching the game now via Twitter. Apparently Jordan Brand Classic has an exclusive feed. Black (Away) with the future UK players, appears to have closed the score after a 20 point deficit. 102-97 with 8:30 left in second half.
Well, I got this bass-ackwards. Of course, I had sound off while watching parts of the game on my computer screen. Here's a tweet with more details. Go Cats!

 
Hey D league! Been a great day so far. Was out in the workshop to put together the little cedar box for the dryer vent. Got that put together with glue and then applied a coat of spar urethane. For the next two or so hours I literally sat and watched paint dry. Not as cool as watching grass grow, but give me enough beer and classic rock and I can accomplish superhuman levels of passing time with no end goal in mind.

I'm in the house now and all I can tell you is that there is a difference in beer stored at 34° and beer stored at 28°. The workshop beer is just better. Sitting on the couch in my nest though, far outpaces the stool I sit on in the workshop. Let's call it even.

I like beer. It makes me a jolly ole fellow!
 
Morning, the D. It has been an insane last two months. No need to identify myself, just think about who has been MIA lately!

But the wedding went off lovingly, the side bet was who would shed tears saying their vows (I lost). She cheated tho...she practiced so much, she had no problem reciting hers!

Honeymoon was in New Orleans. Mrs Me loved every second. Didn’t want to come home !

And now I have the Final Week Before Retirement. April 26...the last time I punch the clock because I have to. The next time I work, it’s because I WANT to!

Y’all have a fantastic Easter, and celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. My Anna is going to Easter Sunday services with her Nana and Papa Terry. She is in between us in bed even as I post.

Life is good.

Congrats, formerly GV.
 
When I grew up there was not a store open after 5-6 PM or on Sunday.

I sure want to thank you for sharing this video. It is exactly how I was raised and a time that will never be again. They have taken away several things mentioned in that song from us and you can get in a lot of trouble even singing the song that was the favorite of Abe Lincoln. But I can still hear the lonesome cry of the whippoorwill and that is important because in some areas even the whippoorwill is long gone.

Thanks again, much appreciated.
 
Good morning D-Leaguers.

We are under clear skies and a cool 50°. Expect bright sunshine all day with a high of 78° mid afternoon. The moon is still up, big and bright and full. Our sunset will be spectacular again tonight as it sets over the Gulf on it's way to Texas.

Today I plan on finalizing my final day on earth by .getting funeral expenses nailed down and paid off. it costs a lot of money to die. But I will rest in peace knowing that is an expense those I leave behind will not have to bear.

Meanwhile I am going to enjoy another day God has made. Every one have a blessed day and carry the spirit of Easter into your daily life.

My last house in Jacksonville was in Hidden Hills just off the St. Johns river. We had whippoorwill's all over the place. My property back up to a swamp and it was apparently whippoorwill country.
 
I saw this old picture and I immediately thought about being a teenager when cars were the most important thing in a boys life and most of us knew how to break down on old flat head V8 and put her back together again. This was a common sight in those days. We had a favorite old live oak tree that had limbs of steel that would probably hold up a tank. Gettin' her done.

Bert, this picture was taken in Jacksonville on the St. Johns River. With an I phone. I love the colors. I found the photo on a Florida Cloud Appreciation web site.

Today's cars, beyond the basics, tend to be a lot more difficult to work on, with all their electronic, computerized gadgets.

Hey there D-League,
It's a very nice, brisk 46 degrees now, headed for a high of 81 with clear, cobalt blue skies and no humidity. We had a very nice Easter yesterday, full of worship, fellowship, and family time, being thankful for all that Jesus has accomplished for us.

-After work today, I'm starting back with my group of guys that play Tennis every week
-I desperately need to mow my yard. We had a lot of rain a few days ago. Forecast called for about only 3/4 inch, but of course, true to the Chattanooga area, you can AT LEAST double what the weatherman says. I totalled over 2 inches easily.

-I'm glad for the warmer weather, getting outside, and everything else.
-You all have a great day, try not to worry about tomorrow, but just enjoy today.

Yesterday I went out to get the paper and there was ice on the windows of the car, later on 80 degrees, spring in KY!!!! Ya'll have a great and safe day!!!!
 
They have made it impossible. You have to plug it in to find out what is wrong. Years ago you could tell by the sound of the engine.

You know, one thing that I appreciate about my older Toyota 4runners (I have two of them 2004 and a 2011) is the relative simplicity of the engines, the key word being relative.

From what I've researched, the 4runner engines have lagged behind other manufacturer's "hi-tech" features, and have the reputation of being a bit bland, but in a way, that can be a good thing as the simplicity of it, I believe, is a part of why it's so reliable and rock solid.

My mechanic friend tells me that the new stuff, say 2014 and newer, are nearly impossible for the weekend warrior hobbyist to work on due to all the "tech" stuff on the newer models. Car manufacturers seem to be using "more technology" as a selling point, but for me, simplicity rules!! And that's why I puposefully bought an older Toyota 4runner.
 
Got another recipe fur ya Blueberry Dessert
1 can Blueberry pie filling (I use Kroger brand)
3 bananas
2 Graham Cracker Crusts
1/3 or 1/2 cup sugar (I use 1/3 because the pie filling is sweet)
1 8oz. Cool Whip (Thawed)
1 block Cream Cheese (Softened)
Mix your cool whip, sugar and cream cheese and spread it on the pie crusts
After putting the mixture in the crusts, I put it in the fridge to set up some
Next cut your bananas as thin or as thick as you want and place them on the filling, Next open your can (got to be politically correct) spoon the pie filling on top of the bananas and put back in the fridge for about and hour. Enjoy!!!
When I first started making this I use Pecan Sandie's cookies, I would crush the cookies, melt butter, then press this mixture in a 9x11 or 9x13 baking dish, forgot which one this crust was better but I just got lazy and started using graham cracker crust. This is my favorite dessert to make now!!!
 
Where I grew up the town shut down at 1200 on Wednesday. Was open until 1400 on Saturday though, and then closed until 0900 Monday morning. Not a 24 hour store within 30 miles.

Somehow, we survived.

Forgot about that. A lot of the city's businessmen showed up at the country club about 12:30 on Wednesday to play golf.

I bought a new car in 1964. Bought my second new car in 2008. I always bought used cars for not much money because I knew how to fix them. Fuel injection and computers did us shade tree mechanics in.
 
Eating well on a budget.

1 ea. 24 oz jar store-brand (H.E.B.) pasta sauce - $0.85.

1 ea. 8 oz can store-brand (H.E.B) mushrooms, grown in the Netherlands - $0.35. Regularly $0.55.

1 ea. 7 oz package elbow macaroni, made in Mexico - $0.34.

Total: $1.54. Makes six 8 oz servings or three 16 oz servings. Total prep time = 15 minutes.

No good reason anybody in this country should go hungry.
