Bert is an additional option for me for me to ponder. Eville, if you make it fine. If not, nothing changes.

They got the color right.

I'm fairly regular...this seems to help.

After the ass. fudge post I am now scared to go buy any. Better make my own.

Yesterday at the State softball tournament we were in our fifth game when in inning 5, there was a pop up in foul territory towards the oppositions bench. I was on the mound and took off to try and get it when something popped in my calf. I immediately went into to limp mode. Could not run after that. In fact walking has been difficult. Thought at first it might be a tear but there is no discoloration. Had a 2 hour drive home and while it was a bit painful, I still got home OK. feels a little better this morning but, still difficult walking.

Sad part is, I was having my best hitting performance of the season. Got put out only once in those 5 games.

Good Sunday morning D League

Woke up this morning with every bone in my body aching. Some bones I didn't know I had. I spent a few days shoveling this week and it has hit me big time. I hire out the lawn mowing but do everything else myself. I might have to address this issue. We do have some good weather today with temperatures in the low 70's now with highs into the mid 80's. Sunshine and a nice breeze.

Good news for our basketball recruiting. The state university and local football teams are all practicing so that means football will soon be here.

I'll drink a few more cups of black coffee and get ready for church. I need a good service today to get my mind off of these aching bones. Make it a good day

Good Morning D

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and fair. Expecting 96°F for a high today.

Y'all have fun at your meetup. Behave.

 

[ymmot31]

Good morning! Whatever you guys decide is fine with me. Rooster, 82, and I could all ride down to Bert's together. Don't we have someone else right here in Louisville? Bev might be able to go on Friday but I thought there was someone else who lived nearby.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

It is already 71.6°F and sunshine. I must mow the yard today. I should have mowed yesterday but I had company so I didn't.

It is supposed to get to 90°F again.

I am free most days this week for a visit. I only have to go to the store some time early in the week to pick up some medicine.

Good news on the recruiting front. I hope he can shoot lights out.

Warrior and Sawnee. Welcome to the "I just can't do that anymore" stage of life. I am surrounded by women in my family. Any problems have always gotten forwarded to me to take care of. Move something, fix something, whatever. About six months ago, in a ceremony at a family gathering I announced that I was turning over the patriarchy to my 28 years old grandson-in-law. Don't call me, call him. He is a good guy. Strong as an ox and has developed from a total klutz to a decent DIYer. Me? I'll just sit and drool in my cereal.

Retire, Don. You're running out of time. Just do it.

Interesting thoughts Chief. I’m a big guy and ‘only’ in my early 60s, and still feel I’m that go-to guy for the heavy lifting jobs for the wife, daughters, mother-in-law, women friends. But as Tennyson said, ‘we are not now that strength that in younger days moved earth and heaven.” I’m still half stove-up from wrestling an old refrigerator out of my basement and up a grade last Sunday. Bruised across both biceps. It’s pretty clear to me my days of being effective on jobs requiring brute strength are waning fast.

I believe my favorite martian is here and 55 has posted about his love for Linnig's. So I presume he's in the area. I'm fine with 82's lunch proposal, a trip to Berts. Whatever, I'm easy. Ky is home for me and I could be just as happy taking in a spin about the state & Ohio River enjoying the green, using the D-leaguers as points of interest along the way on my own. No way this needs to be a single event. I could easily do both or more with a big grin.

Me too! I looked at the link for the top 25 breakout quarterbacks and kind of noticed that Terry Wilson is not mentioned. Troy has a qb worth mentioning, and Kent St., but not Kentucky? The guy who led UK to a 10 win season gets no mention at all, in any poll?

Human nature being what it is, I suppose it's better for us to be overlooked and disparaged based upon our history rather than have people telling them everyday how awesome they are. Put a fire in their belly. Fine with me.

Yeah, early 60's myself, will be 62 on Thursday and am still playing softball. It helps that I have stayed active with workouts and stretching 6 days a week. Can still do the splits (Not Chinese but American) and can kick above my head do to martial arts but, have been dealing with plantar fasciitis, achilles pain and now this. Will probably tone it down depending on how I recover from this last one.

 

[ymmot31]

I played my last game of softball when I was 40. Pulled a hamstring running down a fly ball that any competent shortstop would have dropped back and caught. Didn't pull it too bad at first but I shouldn't have gone to bat right after the initial pain. The next pain when I took off to first was much worse. We only had 10 guys so I stayed in the game. Took 3 more hits to get me home while I was hopping on one leg.

I ran on Friday at the golf course. I was about 30 yards from my cart when the phone rang. Impulse action from all the time I got calls about Dad. I actually ran pretty hard and it felt good. I was out of breath a little when I got there and it took a few minutes before I felt normal again, but later on I felt great. Must have got some things lined up that were askew.

I gave up on softball after busting my rotary cuff in my mid-40s. My game was ‘tall shortstop’ who could play deep and count on a strong arm to nail guys from the hole behind third. Once that was gone, I played a little first base but didn’t stick with it. I kept playing basketball with my 6’6” son until I was about 60. Now it’s HORSE only. The good part about not playing any more —in my memory I get better and better. Why no one paid me to play is a mystery (though I suspect if there was video it’d be pretty obvious.)

I would not have let it go. I would have had to go in the water with it. Looked like Tarpons.

Just found out our team won E State. Had to come back through the losers bracket to do it and that is what we were doing when I got hurt. Below is picture of team (without me, left early to take care of injury).

Here is a link to the Equifax website to see if you are eligible for any reimbursement due to the 2017 data breach. I was not.

According to this site, "Every person can receive up to $500 for the time they spent “taking preventative measure or dealing with identity theft,” court papers said. Consumers are eligible for up to 20 hours of reimbursement. Ten hours — $250 — can be self-certified and do not require any documentation, according to the document. Another 10 hours have to backed up by documentation such as banking and credit card statements."

Yeah, got about 12 State Championships from E to B's. Could never quite crack the A levels. Got close a couple of times.

I remember playing in a tournament in the late 70's where we lost the first game and had to play 3 more to win. I had a cleat go bad on me in the second game and had to play the last 2 barefooted.

none for me, but my wife is eligible.

I'm definitely on for lunch anywhere, any day. As much as I'd like to visit Bert (if he'd have me) I can't block out that many hours any day this week. My loss. From listening to ymmot talk about his trips to Smiths Grove it must be fabulous!

You are invited. I doubt that it is fabulous, but it is friendly.

I am 73 and nearly crippled. I am bone on bone in both ankles. That renders me incapable of walking very long and absolutely rules out running.

Breaking my femur two years ago left my left leg two inches shorter than the right. The cumulative effects of a bunch of injuries’ and lack of cartilage equals a crippled old man.

On to my post earlier this morning:
It is now 88.3°F and I have mowed the yard. I did nothing else, just mow. That will buy me time to a cooler day to weed whack.
