D-League

Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F and clear. Expecting mid-90s later today. I'm up early because I crashed early. Plan on getting some stuff done this morning. Hitting up recycling center due to 20+ bags of cans. Hoping for $15, but expecting $10-12. Gonna put more crap on Craigslist.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.
 
Good Saturday morning D-League

It is 68° outside and clear skies. The high is forecast for 94° with a lot of sunshine.

My wife has gone into town to her French macaron class. She is getting pretty good at making these tasty pastries. Meanwhile I have a tree to take down. About 6 months ago deer used my avocado tree to rub their antlers and it tore all of the bark off of the trunk and now I have a dead tree. It was loaded with fruit. Fortunately I have another one that is healthy so we will have plenty of avocados in a few weeks. .

Time for another cup of coffee, y'all take care

78.1°F and it going to be a sunny hot day. The pig roast starts at 5:00pm and it is going to be fun.

I loved the "on line" fish cartoon and the "toilet seat" cartoon. Instantly laughed.

You all enjoy you Memorial Day weekend. Decoration day for my family was always the last Sunday in May and we went to many cemeteries to place flowers on family graves. The big adventure was getting to the Higginbotham-Buckingham cemetery. It is locked out by Mammoth Cave Park and subsequent de-development. It was an adventure to get that. Today it is possible to get there with a Humvee and a chain saw. https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2243320/memorial-search?firstName=&lastName=higginbotham

Happy Memorial Day weekend Bert. You have a very rich heritage and people like those in your blood line made America.
 
I hope you all in D League are having a pleasant and restful Memorial Day weekend. My son had to work so we postponed the Arlington Cemetery trip until tomorrow.

Just got an email from a buddy of mine in Texas who is a combat veteran from Vietnam. He was inviting me on a road trip to California to look up John Walker Lindh. I didn’t need to ask for what purpose. I don’t think he was serious. But i can’t say for sure.

When you find him, tell Johnny Boy I said hello and Saint Peter ain't letting him through that gate.
 
A few weeks ago I was in Kentucky and was asked to pick up a bottle of Blanton's. I searched and called most every store in Lexington and Richmond without success. Today I found it less than a mile from my house. Just goes to show you never can tell.
I have found two in the last two years. Liquor Barn restricts me to one bottle when they have them. Liquor Barn says the Japanese love Blantons.

That piece of shit needs it beaten out of him. There is no reason for scum like that to be allowed to live in our country. Send his Mo loving ass to some middle eastern shit hole country where he can enjoy his damned religion.
 
Sawnee are Kentucky bluegill and Florida brim the same.
I would think they are in the same family or species. A couple of other pan frying fish similar are shellcrackers and sunfish some call bream.

I think a brim may have been the first fish I caught as a kid. Daddy would catch a wash tub full of them and we would have a fish fry for as many people as wanted to come. Just show up hungry.

Yes same family and many species of the same genera hybridizing as well.
What's the difference . . . Chart is a linky.

The man told me he may get in two or 3 bottles every month of so. He does not display it on the shelf. I got mine by asking and he said he had one and it was under the cash register. The only way you know if they have it is to ask. I bet a lot of stores operate the same way.

The European Bream mentioned and shown in that article looked similar to Drum, a rather nasty fish I have caught on occasion here in Oklahoma.

BTW, going fishing tomorrow (weather permitting). Was going today but last nights deluge of rain ruined it for me.

than a drum. Oh yeah, I,ve caught monster drum fishing for Black & White Bass in large lakes & rivers. Can be exciting on a 7' medium action open face with 12 lb. test.
 
Good afternoon! Seems like I've been busy all morning but I don't have a lot to show for it.

I did get the grass mowed front and back, so there's that.

I went and got some 4x4's to make the door frames out of. They look rough right now but they'll come along nicely once I hit em with the sander.

Also picked up some light bulbs for a 6 light stringer I'm putting in the top of the porch near the house. I can space them and light up the entire area nicely, I think.

My wife is on the beach today in SC. I'm fine right where I'm at doing just what I'm doing. And beer.

This is a nice beach day.
 
Got that stringer of lights hung up. Looks good and is a nice little addition that I hadn't counted on.

It's about 1700 so I'm going to call it a day. Still have to go out and close everything up. Might go ahead and hang out in the shop until late. Classic rock, cold beer, comfortable chair. There's a good breeze blowing that's hitting my double doors just perfect for flow through ventilation.

See you cats on the flip side!

They say these go real good with a cold beer.

Just back from moving my middle daughter home - she graduated from University of Maryland Friday, as did her mother about 30 years ago. We stopped into a bar called Bentley’s where my daughter has been working - ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt once gave her a $50 tip. Among other artifacts: a signed Len Bias Jersey. When I was new to the DC area I was going out with a woman who had close-in Maryland seats and I can remember seeing Bias play against Michael Jordan. Talk about seeming like another lifetime.

Yeah that was really tragic. If I recall correctly he died a day or two after the NBA draft.

Oops sorry. Congrats to your daughter!

Germans love Makers. Every trip over I carry a couple small bottles. Give them away. One of these days, I'll travel over with a bunch of small bottles, hang out in Sweden (not Sweeden, KY), and sell them.
