D-League

Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F and clear. 20% chance of rain. We hit 100°F again yesterday and could see just 98°F today.

I prepared a vegetarian pasta salad yesterday for our potluck today at work. Pics coming.

Down to 98 degrees? Looks like fall has finally arrived in Austin
 
66.2°F, sunny and relative humidity of 62%. We got to 94 yesterday.

The guys are supposed to get started painting on the deck and stairs out back today. It should really be a good day to do it. I don't know how long it will take. There is a lot of surface and railings to do.

The Florida game just messed up my weekend. I really wanted to get them two years in a row. Such is life.

It's A Mad Mad World is special.
 
Good Monday Morning D League

It is a Blue Monday but the sun is shining somewhere. Actually it is shining pretty bright down here. We are in our late summer pattern with a current temperature of 80°F and a high of 88°F by mid afternoon. There are scattered showers in the area and a 30% chance we will get them. We had a very hard rain yesterday that lasted about 30 minutes then cleared up. Normal for us.

Coffee is good and the Cats go back to the drawing board at football practice this afternoon. Coaches have to clean up some of those silly mistakes They let one get away Saturday. Onward

I am never going into the ocean.
Don, back in the 1970's an area where I was living at the time was being developed. It was Sand Key across an inlet from Clearwater Beach. A high rise hotel was under construction and I was on the 9th floor looking down at the beach. There were at least a dozen people in the water about 20 feet from shore. I could see sharks swimming within a few feet of them. We yelled down but could not get their attention. Fortunately there was not an incident but it was a wake up call for me.

To be honest I am surprised there are not more shark attacks than what we experience. We do not have many on the Gulf Coast but over on the East Coast, especially New Symrna Beach there are several.

On his 70th birthday, a man was given a gift certificate from his wife. The certificate was for consultation with an Indian medicine man living on a nearby reservation who was said to have a simple cure for erectile dysfunction.

The husband went to the reservation and saw the medicine man.

The old Indian gave him a potion and, with a grip on his shoulder, warned "This is a powerful medicine. You take only a teaspoonful, and then say: '1-2-3'". When you do, you will become more manly than you have ever been in your life, and you can perform for as long as you want".

The man thanked the old Indian, and as he walked away, he turned and asked "How do I stop the medicine from working?" "Your partner must say '1-2-3-4'" he responded "but when she does, the medicine will not work again until the next full moon".

He was very eager to see if it worked so he went home, showered, shaved, took a spoonful of the medicine, and then invited his wife to join him in the bedroom.

When she came in, he took off his clothes and said "1-2-3!"

Immediately, he was the manliest of men. His wife was excited and began throwing off her clothes, and asked "What was the 1-2-3 for?"

And that, boys and girls, is why we should never end our sentences with a preposition, because we could end up with a dangling participle.
 
Good morning! Got meself 9 hours of sleep last night and I feel fine. Already talked to the attorney this morning about the estate, took a cat to the vet, and most importantly the coffee is hot and strong.

I'm not going to call it obsessive, but my first thought when I woke up was "why didn't we win that football game"? As it turns out, it seems that SEC size and speed is not all it takes to win a game. What else could you need? Hmmm...

Have to call some insurance people today. They are dropping the ball, still.

Hope you have a better Monday than I'm going to have. Today is mowing the grass and doing the dishes day.

See ya later!
 
Mornin' D-League.

Mixed weekend -- but I'm choosing to concentrate on the Terrence Clarke signing. Highest rated wing player Cal has ever recruited -- higher than MKG, I was surprised to learn.

Gotta give a shout-out to my 19-year-old son. He worked 34 hours this weekend - yes, 34 -- on his moving crew, including loading and driving a Furniture Van all the way to Paducah Sunday, offloading, then driving back. He got into Lexington at 5:34 am this morning. Now if he made class this morning, I'll really be impressed.

Had to miss the opening episode of the Ken Burns Country Music documentary. My parents liked it -- lot of focus on Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family, which I would have enjoyed. Any D-League reviews?

Happy Monday to all.
 
Good morning D from the Berg. The mornings here have been great, low humidity and around 65, but the humidity goes up and so does the temps, hitting from about 95-99.

That stung Saturday! I got that funny feeling when their QB went down, Oh no not the backup, he'll be a star! I just don't understand why our team and coaches don't say, ok team let's put the hammer down and roll them!

My sister made it back from the Philippines safe and sound, just dealing with jet lag for a few days!

Been waiting on this week since last year, heading to Arkansas to go after them trout!!! I am going to try and top my last year big fish, I caught a 20" Brown Trout on 4lb test and an ultra-light rod-n-reel. I like the battle. I was told that I was the only one that used the ultra-light gear.
Have any of the D been on the White or Norfork Rivers in Arkansas? I guess I caught the smallest fish there last year, it was called a Sculpin, weird looking thing looked pre-historic and about 2" long, never knew he was on there until I reeled it in.

WC good to hear that the WP's are still working!

Glad to hear RR is out of the hospital, please stay out!

The mowing has slowed down, don't have to mow but ever 2 weeks now, but I know that will change if we get some rain.

Ok D ya'll have a great day and prayers are still going up for the D Leaguers that need them and for those that don't, whether you need them or not! Great bunch of people in the D!

Y that's funny!!! But did you hear that they have combined Brilcream and Viagra together? Heard it makes your hair really stand up!
 

When I got home yesterday there was a huge bullmastiff in my yard. He came over to see me as I was getting out of the van but wasn't sure if I was a friendly or not. He was panting quite a bit and it was hot so I went and got him a pan of water. As he was drinking a black suv went driving by and he took off after it. Must have been his human. Had to weigh at least 100 lbs, prolly 120.

Collards is green, my dog's name is Blue
and I'm so lucky to have a sweet thang like you.

Yore hair is like cornsilk a-flapping in the breeze.
Softer than Blue's and without all them fleas.

You move like the bass, which excite me in May.
You ain't got no scales but I luv you anyway.

Yo're as satisfy'n as okry jist a-fry'n in the pan.
Yo're as fragrant as "snuff" right out of the can.

You have some'a yore teeth, for which I am proud;
I hold my head high when we're in a crowd.

On special occasions, when you shave under yore arms,
well, I'm in hawg heaven, and awed by yore charms.

Still them fellers at work, they all want to know,
what I did to deserve such a purdy, young doe.

Like a good roll of duct tape yo're there fer yore man,
to patch up life's troubles and fix what you can.

Yo're as cute as a junebug a-buzzin' overhead.
You ain't mean like those far ants I found in my bed.

Cut from the best cloth like a plaid flannel shirt,
you spark up my life more than a fresh load of dirt.

When you hold me real tight like a padded gunrack,
my life is complete; Ain't nuttin' I lack.

Yore complexion, it's perfection, like the best vinyl sidin'.
despite all the years, yore age, it keeps hidin'.

Me 'n' you's like a Moon Pie with a RC cold drank,
we go together like a skunk goes with stank.

Some men, they buy chocolate for Valentine's Day;
They git it at Wal-Mart, it's romantic that way.

Some men git roses on that special day
from the cooler at Kroger. "That's impressive," I say.

Some men buy fine diamonds from a flea market booth.
"Diamonds are forever," they explain, suave and couth.

But for this man, honey, these won't do.
Cause yor'e too special, you sweet thang you.

I got you a gift, without taste nor odor,
more useful than diamonds... It's a new troll'n motor!!

Dangling participles are a big, big problem.:weary:

Oh boy. Now that's some good stuff right there. Trollin'motor. Yep, cause her arm gets tired when we go fishin' and I get her to skull right up close to some brush. FCC
 
I'm on hold with an insurance company now for over 25 minutes. "we are currently experiencing high call volume, please remain on the line for the next claims specialist, we appreciate your patience". Listen toots, I am not being patient here at all. I am dog cussing you and I know for sure when one of you does finally answer I won't have a chance of understanding the accent.
 
Hey Tommy. You think Plat is LEK?

I'm 90% sure Plat is not LEK. I may be wrong.

LEK was one of the worst spellers you've ever seen until someone turned him on to spell check. He once told me what I had said was a logical "phallacy". I told him that he had committed a Freudian slip. I had it as my sig for a while. If you watch his posts you'll notice his misuse of homophones. Spell check can't help him there.

May not be him but as far as I'm concerned, I can't slam platindumb any harder than that. On the internet.

Well, LEK or not, I slam Plat every chance I get. Heh heh.

LEK was the biggest egghead ever on Paws. He once posted that he knew more about any subject than anyone on here. And I don't think he was joking.

He was a freak about logic.
