Sorry for your loss.

Wishing you a great day as well.

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!

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?

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

All hornets are wasps. All wasps not hornets.

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

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 like that Austin!

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.

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.

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.

All you guys are wrong about the greatest guitarist. Here's the best.

You're one right ymmot. He had one of the best guitar riffs of all time on "Money for Nothing".

Did you get to meet any other bands while working there?

 

[OldEvilleCat]

We'll pencil it in, and if we can find another D Leaguer, like maybe Eville, great.

Thanks for the invite Ben101er. I'm not sure about making that trip...that's a 4 1/2 to 5 hr drive not including the time change. I have a few vacation days left so I'm not ruling it out. Oct. 1st seems like a nice day for some golf... It will probably take a special set of circumstances...i.e the redhead is OK with it & I get away from work. I always like to play new courses.
Let me mull it over...maybe I could meet up w/ymmot outside of Lville?

OK, I've got it in my phone. I'll make it there faster than that.

Great. 'll let you guys coordinate logistics on your end. Just let me know the time. Just try to get there 30 minutes before we play, to hit some balls on the range and get a feel for the greens.

You have to get up a little earlier, but it is great when you get that hour back, on the return trip. If, we play at 10 am, you could be home by 5:30 with the change.

Congrats! You earned it.

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.

I might be the only 76 year old man who has never seen pot. Only pictures. I missed it completely. It just wasn't around when I was a youth. By the time I was married and raising a family I had more things on my mind . So I missed it. Now my brother was different but he was 10 years younger

 

[UK82]

Had to share this pic of the twins, sister's grandkids.

 

[UK82]

Beautiful night to dine out on the deck. Yeah we're late eaters.

 

[ymmot31]

Played the Friday night scramble tonight. Nothing much happened to speak of, except for the last drive I hit. 423yd par 4 and my ball was sitting right next to the 100yd marker in the middle of the fairway. I can't imagine I'll ever hit one that far again. Everything must have come together just right.

Great picture, thanks for sharing. So cute. ❤

I've had some good things happen lately and I've had some good laughs, but I know without a doubt that I haven't been as happy as those two are there since I was about as old as they are.

 

[ymmot31]

I am 59.25 today. That means that along about this date 60 years ago I was conceived. I am declaring my official status as ELDERLY. Give me my discounts!

I'm not too far off. Conceived sometimes around Valentines Day 1960. Obviously my folks were romantics.

Going to go fishing this morning until the heat comes in. Usually get to my spots at daybreak. More to follow...

Good morning D League

Expecting a beautiful day and football is here coffee is so good I think I will make another pot.

Have a great day all

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F. Could see 102°F later today.

Today is our annual SEC Kickoff Picnic. It begins at noon. Free food and beer. Gotta print a ticket this year.

They are so cute. I love little ones, but it is also good when you can send them back with their parents.

I will concede the discounts, but you still can't play the senior tees.

Ruh roh. USA basketball in trouble.

Streak ends: US men's basketball falls to Australia, 98-94.

Just an exhibition game, but Coach K is not walking through that door.

I am a 73 year old man who grew up in Park City on a farm that raised hemp during World War II. Our fence rows were full of wild hemp that kept coming up until 1965 when the State Police came in and cut it down.

I never smoked it because my dad told me not to.

I wish I had two just like that.
