D-League

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Thursday morning D League

The girl on the radio said dryer air is moving in cutting down the chance of rain to 20%. Should warm up for the weekend.. We are presently at 76° and it will get up to 85° by mid afternoon.

Will he or will he not. That is the question as we anxiously await the big decision. I understand he may have set a record for the shortest campus visit. I don't know what that means if anything. Probably not.

I have to get a haircut. No ifs or buts it is time. My Company Commander would not allow me to stand before the troops looking like this. So I will break down and pay my $7.00 and get it done.

Trust all have a great day.

Good morning D-League. Well, it is full-blown summer on the Potomac. Made the mistake of thinking I could take a pre-7am walk before going to the office, and got absolutely saturated by the humidity. I had to lock myself into a bathroom stall in a remote part of the building, strip down to my underwear, and give the AC ten minutes to dry out my clothes. Not a huge fan of the brutal summers here, at least during work weeks.

Looks like we'll have to be patient, maybe into next week, on KB. I 100 percent would love to have him, but unlike many I was good with Nick, EJ and Sestina in the front court, with someone Cal might have signed as a 5-6 minute player like Eloy Vargas in case of foul trouble or (god forbid) injury. I say that because I think this team's destiny is its guards and wings and I want Cal to play in a way that spreads thinks out and has Hagans and Quickley and Maxey and Whitney attacking the basket. Blackshear might mitigate how much Cal committed to that style. But again, I'll be thrilled if he comes.

• Good Morning, All.
  
• I hope that the ailing will feel better soon.
• 75º in Johns Creek this morning. Beautiful. The Zoysia looks like a golf green.
• Our #4 has an operation coming up to correct a very bad bite. The big day is July 10th. I hate to even think about it.
• As you were.
• Carry on.

Great question.

You all keep after those tomato plants. My dad and brother spend hundreds of hours to produce tomatoes that are so plentiful when theirs ripen that everyone in the county is trying to give them away. But I suppose it beats drinking as a hobby - or maybe causes it.

I raise tomatoes and also drink as a hobby!

We are in the planning stages of our 50th, for next summer. We are pretty lucky. Out of 260 graduates, we have only lost about 45.

I was in a small class of 53. 12 of the 53 are now dead. One died young in Vietnam and another of muscular dystrophy. My old girlfriend died at 46 of cancer. My best friend died in 2015 of cancer.

My class is on a percentage basis doing better than yours Ben: 4.4% versus 5.8%. Did Vietnam hit your class harder?

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Wonder if those things get throat or stomach cancer?

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

God Bless! I've got 3 stents in me...dang genetics.

yes we need to do a better job of picking out our parents!

 

[wildcatdonf]

Great question.

So the contents will get stale quicker.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

The ones on my plants will not have any more relatives. They are dead. A mass killing.

Sawnee Cat got pissed off and they got killed off.

This ole boy showed up this morning and has been begging for food all day. A Florida Wood Stork. You don't see many around. He comes around a few times a month and the rest of the time he stays out in the marshes. A wader bird.

@Sawnee Cat, my neighbor in Florida had the concrete curb like islands for his mulch. I like that. I am thinking about doing it here to cut down on my weed whacking. Can you get by with just mowing around them?

Taking no prisoners. If I was still in the military I would be accused of war crimes. I check the plants this morning and all of the worms are laying there dead. Of course my tomatoes are gone too so we will call it even.

Yes you can. I have them all around my house and it gives a nice appearance and cuts down on work. I recommend them..

71.8°F, cloudy and 95% humidity. In this rain event on my gauge (starting yesterday at noon) we have received .98 inches of rain. Thank goodness I got the yard mowed. My guy that I have hired to work on the yard, fence and deck got all the drains cleaned yesterday so the water is now routed to where they should be.

On the tobacco worm issue, I will swear that the same bug in Kentucky eats both tobacco and tomatoes.

I love them.

I will put you and your wife up in the guest house if you will take mercy on me and install them in my yard. I will cook breakfast every morning and feed you a good steak every night.

Let me know what day!

Not really. By the time we graduated it was May of 70 and it was over before the deferments expired. There were a couple that made the service their vocation, but as far as I know, none of them were lost in SE Asia. Cancer has hit our class pretty hard, since NE Ky has a higher incident rate than the rest of the state, and Kentucky has the highest rate in the country.

There used to be a local outfit who did those, but I think they went out of business. Can you DIY?

Which one do you do best?

That sounds like a pretty good deal. What is the old saying, "I would walk a mile for a Camel". They were cast in place by a local concrete company. The truck came out and poured them in place. They did all of the measuring, etc. Maybe we can mix up our own batch and lay it out. Probably need to consult with ymmot31 for his expertise. He is the General Contractor and architect for the D-League.

Ymmot is also young. We can work him hard.

Don't show up at ymmot's house until he gets that lana, er, screened in porch done. He will put you to work.

Even our flipper friends enjoy a little high as they go through life.

You don't know how true this is. I just got out of the pool and went to the kitchen and there she was. Dish towel in hand and a glare in her eyes. Mercy I feel so guilty but I will crank up the grill and fix some supper for us. You reckon that will smooth things over?

Fear not. It can fade away fairly quickly if you don't cave in.

When I first got married I did the dishes once. I (not intentionally) apparently did not do a good job and she was appalled. Not only did she never ask me to do dishes again, she won't allow me to do dishes. What an unintended stroke of luck.

I am holding the line like The Big Red 1 in France
