Happy Birthday goes out to another Kentucky player from Paintsville.

 

[ymmot31]

That ball looks huge!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Just watched Josh Allen kick some big ass during NFL pre-season. Yes!

Were balls bigger back then?

Were balls bigger back then?

I have no idea. Based on the picture it looks that way. But I would guess no. I'm sure someone will let us know.

I saw him and Miss Vicki get married. Might have been on a Tonight Show.

40 million people watched that wedding in 1969.

I believe my mom and dad were among that 40 million. Wow.

Had a guy come into my office yesterday yelling at one of my co-workers because he used an ellipsis to end his sentence in an email.. He (my co-worker) was requesting the correct orders for a soldier to get his travel to next duty station. The irate guys was angry and shaking telling my co-worker that the use of three periods to end the sentence meant that he was yelling and cursing him. I came out of my area of the office to try and calm him down. He explained that in his circles three dots means you are calling him an inept ass. I looked at him and then at my co-worker and ask if that is what he meant. He of course said no and that he had no clue what this guy was talking about. I told the guy it was an ellipsis and did not have a derogatory meaning. He then said that he was a PC guy and that in the PC world that is what it meant. I stopped him right there and said that we do not do PC in our office and know nothing about PC meanings. Told him that it was simply a misunderstanding by him and to just let it go and we would as well. He sort of agreed and walked out mumbling something under his voice... what is the world coming to?.

Here would be my response...

I was only in 4th grade so I didn't watch it but my Mom did. I guarantee all my Dad said was "those damn hippies".

Thanks pal. I thought I was special for seeing that.

Watching one of the episodes of Trains & Locomotives on RFDTV...it's the StL Steam Spectacular. Thank goodness for UP keeping their steam heritage alive!

I watch a game or two on TV every day. Best baseball going. I too would love to go to watch a live one.

Mine were, I tired to do just about anything.

For anyone interested, there is a college football game this weekend. Miami and Florida at 5:00 pm eastern time Sat.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F. Expecting a high of 100°F or so. We're beginning to cool off some. I hiked 1 mile last night. Huge difference in humidity between here and Florida.

Go Canes!

But I bet Gators win because new Hurricanes head coach, Manny Diaz, is a freaking idiot.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

I like that Austin!

Some other great guitarists, Page, Beck, Berry, and Van Halen. Hard to believe that 3 of the ones mentioned, were members of The Yardbirds at one time or another.

I met the Yardbirds in 1966 when they were on the Dick Clark Caravan of Stars. Two years in a row they stayed at Park Mammoth while they did shows in the area. I was the desk clerk from 3 to 11. I had my hands full with some of the more addicted folks.

Eric Clapton was a wonderful person and guys like Bobby Goldsboro, Del Shannon et.al. were sober. The others were in their own little world.

I was a soph. in college. I had never smoke pot or did drugs. They reinforced the idea to never do it in my life.

Good Morning D

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning D, it's been a rough 7 day stretch for me, I have lost 3 good friends. My neighbor passed away yesterday about 4. He was one of those men that you would think could beat death, but none of us can! My regret is we became good friends too late! He was a great guy, raised a great family. He will never pass to some of us!!! He helped build the carrier for the Saturn 5 and later for the space shuttle. Ky was his home and I am thankful he came back here!

Still raining here so no deck work. I bought some strawberries but I forgot the shortcakes for the and trust me Mrs. M let me know I did!!! But I surprised her this morning with strawberries on top of a Twinkie, man that's better than shortcakes any day!!!

I hope ya'll have a great day! If you have a good fried that you keep saying that you need to go see them, be sure and go visit them! That way you can say I glad I went instead of I wish I had gone!

I plan on being here for that.

Dang Bert! Drugs might have been the thing to put you right over the top. You coulda been a contenda!

Good morning D. Coolish and rainy in DC. Got a long morning walk in downtown before the rain. Been reading more about Lincoln, so he was on my mind. I realized at some point I had walked from the spot he first lay down his head in Washington as president -- the Willard Hotel where he came before the inauguration of 1861 -- to the last spot -- the house across from Ford's Theater. That's only four and a half blocks, by the way.

Finally feeling like football season. To root for the Gators or not? I want the SEC to remain the dominant football league, but can't stand anything to do with UF athletics, even though my oldest worked in the athletic department at Gainesville during her days there. I guess I'll root for them out of conference and against them within the SEC.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Happy Birthday goes out to another outstanding Wildcat.

Mr. Rooster or any other D league brainiacs, and remember I am a computer dunce. I have found on my deck these cocoon looking things. Having never seen one of them I just had to take one down. They look like a very small snail shell and even has what looks like an antenna one end. I opened it up and it had a larva or worm in it. I have another one in a container right now, but it hasn't opened up. A couple of them I have seen has a hole chewed thur the shell and are gone. Just wondering what they are and what they turn into. I went out on the deck Tuesday and there was a small hornet looking creature just trying to learn how to fly. Could it have been a hornet?

 

[ymmot31]

Miami is just another in a long list of programs that just chap my ass.

Go Gators!

not to say that uf isn't on the fightin side of me. lesser of 2 evils.

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks ATX. I have been to the great state of Texas a few times with the National Guard. Some of the guys went to town one weekend, said the went to this joint and they searched them for weapons, they said they didn't have any so they gave them some! I know that a military man would never tell a lie!

Bagworm moth larvae (like snails) build escape cover with cocoon like silk.

All hornets are wasps. All wasps not hornets.

It's not anything like a bagworm that I have ever seen. They have a hard shell case and are really adhered to what ever it attached to like a bolt head or just a piece of lumber another thing is that they are all up high.

I have never smoked pot or used any illegal drugs. I don't even know what it smells like. What have I missed? Cool is something I never was.

Dang Mr.Rooster that looks a lot better than the one I fixed this morning!!!!

Climbing snails like frogs don't have complex thoughts so its about resources (food & H₂O), safety (escape) or sex.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Just had a One-on-One with my manager. I'm receiving a 5% merit pay increase.

Life is good.

Happy Friday.

Hello D league!
Hope all is well!!

My idea give me your opinions: If you want to defeat ISIS all you need to do is send a few toddlers in the terrible two stage and within 24 to 48 hours ISIS will be eating apple pie and singing "take me out to the ball game."

Hey there! Played golf yesterday morning and then came home and went straight to the workshop. Many beers later my wife came home and made me come inside.

Went to the course this morning for a cup of coffee and ended up playing 18 with a guy for his birthday. Sure did get hot out there after 2.

Ben, I have to play golf here on the 2 of Oct. The 3 I may have to figure up the scores and teams. Looks like Oct 1 will be the best day of the 3 for me.

Since I first learned about him in 1979 I've thought that Al Di Meola was the best guitarist. Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin are right there with him.

No one ever mentions Mark Knopler either. Oh well, the best guitarist is probably someone who was always a session musician and we don't know his name. Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, and Glen Campbell never get their due because they were country music I guess.

Oct 1 works for me. We'll pencil it in, and if we can find another D Leaguer, like maybe Eville, great. If not, I will round up another player or two from here. What time would you want to make it? You are right at 2 hours and 45 minutes from the I-64 and Gene Snyder interchange, assuming you would drive at 75 mph.
