Legacy Box is advertised on Rush's show but I have not used it. I have a bunch of tapes from the late 40's and early 50's my dad made. Lots of old UK ball games on them. Maybe some day

Convert Film to Digital Service: Film Transfer to DVD

Preserve precious memories by transferring old film to a digital format, including thumb drives, the cloud, or DVDs. Simply send us your film, & we'll do the rest!

legacybox.com

Sir,
Just looked online. It seems Costco also does these conversions. I convert a lot of media types but I don't have an 8mm player or I'd offer but doubt I could complete any large amount by Christmas. @Ben101er

May be worth a membership if there charges are not too much to convert. All it really takes is time if you have the equipment. (I usually start a project and just monitor it while doing something else too.)

Edit: Costco seems pricy but not sure how much film is 150 feet.

I hate a thief, oh how I hate a thief. Nothing gets me angrier than someone stealing.

If I have something you want and you need it more than me, you can have it. Just ask, don't steal it from me. I give away most of what I own it seems so stealing irritates me a little more than normal I guess.

I'm with you on thieves. I've always heard "If it isn't worth working for, it isn't worth having".

It and other social media sure has changed our society. What a difference in the way people treat each other. You can insult and threaten people over the internet in ways you could never get away with face to face

Having a civilized conversation on social media is a rare thing nowadays. I don't care what you post, someone will take issue with it. Makes you realize a lot of people are either off their meds or need them prescribed.

 

[starchief5]

Yes Sir, I am sure with you there. I cannot stand a thief or a liar. I do not tolerate either.

And assassins. Don't leave out the assassins.

Mrs. M was MAD! She said I'll shoot somebody!!!!!

The D, would just have to know Mrs. M and her saying that! We have been married for 22 years and we have had one argument and that was because I wouldn't question one of my kids deeper on something she did!!! But I will say this, I know when she is mad at me!!!!! I will also add, that I did not deserver this lady, but GOD granted my prayer when I asked GOD to send me someone that would love my kids as much as me!!!!! I really think she loves them more than me!!!!! Plus the grandchildren!!!!!

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Since some are discussing old photos, let me pose the question to all of you. Does anyone know a a person, or business, that converts 8 mm film to a disc? I found some old rolls of film from when I was a kid and thought that it would make a nice Christmas present for my sister.

Walmart photo center should be able to do it for you Ben. Link

 

[starchief5]

I have exactly five FB friends. One of which is my wife. Her FB posts (she actually doesn't post much) are the only way I know somewhat what's going on in the family. I laid down the rule years ago that unless it involves something I personally need to do something about I don't even want to know about the family drama (bunch of women). It has worked well. My wife threatened to block me last night because I caught her reporting something dumb that she had done (just answering a "few questions" and receive a free gift) and mentioned it to her (doh). She already regrets it as the sales calls come pouring in now to her cell phone which number she gave to them. I've had dozens of friend requests which I ignore.

Any Lexington peeps have a good source for seasoned firewood? The dude I bought from last year was fast and decently priced, but the wood was too green. Preferably looking for someone who will deliver and stack it on my stoop for me.

Thanks. Costco doesn't seem too pricey, but I don't have a location close enough to me to warrant a membership.

Thanks. That sounds reasonable. I will take mine in.

I have Baller Cal on ignore for a reason.

Strange as it may seem with this being a UK sports site but I don't think any of the D-League lives in Lexington. I'm actually getting some wood delivered later this week from a guy in Oldham County but I doubt he'd deliver that far away.

Good evening D, got a call from Mrs. M today, she had a roll of nickels and on one end was a Buffalo , she wanted to know if I wanted it. I told her just go ahead and bring it home. It came in from the Feds. Anyway I unrolled it and there was another one in there too. Just barely could make out one was made in the 40's and no date on the other. The Buffalo nickel was the worse designed coin, the raised date was the first thing that wore off. I have a few, but more of them don't have a date than has one. Still a beautiful coin. Mercury dime is my favorite coin. I have found 4 metal detecting, with 1916 being the oldest!

Tomorrow marks the 35th anniversary of the Joe Theismann injury. I watched that game and damned if they didn't play it over and over ad nauseam. Still one of the most gruesome I've seen.

Remember it well. Probably about the last time I watched the NFL.

Wonder if Joe gets a good deal from his orthopedic....between his leg and hawking Medicare plans now.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 44°F and clear. Today's high is projected at 79°F. Beautiful.

Happy Hump Day.

Heard about the game, but missed viewing it. At the time, I was on duty at a remote missile site. No AFN TV. German media started covering American football during the early 90s. Ugh, injury looks horrible.

Wishing all our fellow D-League members happiness and health.

Morning D Legionnaires!

Prayers for all who need them (That would be all of us).

Yesterday, wife and I went to commissary for groceries and I suggested getting our turkey there and she complained that she would not pay $1.40 lb for a turkey so, we passed it by. She then looked at other places on the internet and found it for $.98 lb at Walmart. Wants to go there today after work to buy one. I then said, we will go several miles out of our way to buy a turkey for $.98 and spend a few bucks on gas to save maybe a couple of bucks on a turkey. She said "Yes". I just shook my head and said " Can't figure the mind of a woman" and she just chuckled.

I've seen turkeys advertised around here for as low as .33 a pound. Tell the Mrs how much she could save if you guys drove from OK to OH to get one. 😊

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Now, here's something inspiring....in other words you're not dead. A line or two from an email we got this morning from a health organization we've done some business with over the years. Advertising getting a flu shot....

'You deserve a round of applause! You’ve made it to November — despite all the challenges — in a year that feels like it will never end. We’re proud of you! Please take a moment to celebrate by doing something good for yourself.'

Good morning from what I consider a chilly Nature Coast

We have 46° at the present and we should reach 69°. The sunshine is bright with clear skies and a low for us of 65% humidity. And I still do not have any heat in my house. I am going to go as long as I can without it.

The lawn boy is mowing outside and the yard is getting a little tender loving care. I often think of poor Les Moore on a day like today. He never knew what hit him

Have only had to use my heater for about a week during the Ice Age here. Most of the time when I wake up the house is around 68-70° with the outside temperature near 50°. Today's high will be around the mid 70's and will remain close to 70° for the next week or so. Saves on the electric bill.

Exactly. With weather like that who needs a furnace?

My house does not have heat or a source of heat. I have a heat pump but it only has an AC mode. Last year the mother board for the controls went out and the AC man did not have a control with both heat and AC on his truck and said he would have to order it. He did have one for AC only so he put that one on for no charge. He told me to give him a call when I need some heat and he would come out and take care of it. That was July when heat was the further thought from my mind.

We still don't need any heat and I am going to go as long as I can without it. Last year I doubt we turned on the heat more than a couple of times and that was because my wife insisted on it. She over heats in the summer and chills in the winter. Women do that sort of thing

I saw where the Governor of Pennsylvania is going to require masks inside your house if you have people from multiple households gathered. Should be easily enough to enforce.

[Bert Higginbotha]

Another bright sunny day and currently 34.7°F on our way to 56°.

On heating our house: years ago the price of natural gas got high, so I installed two heat pumps with gas backup (emergency) heat. In the last few years natural gas is way, way cheaper to heat with than electricity on the heat pump. So I place it on emergency heat and enjoy the big savings.

You all enjoy your hump day.

Just amazing how they think they can make these be required and enforce them. Just complete insanity in our country right now. A bunch of wannabe dictators trying tyranny on for size.

Oh, A great morning to you all. May your day be filled with eternal riches. Joy unspeakable and full of glory!

Our kitchen, dining and living room is all an open area. We have a fireplace and just close off the rest of the house. It will keep us warm enough without using our electric heat except while we sleep. I also get a daily workout during the winter months busting wood.

Looking forward to the end of Medicare enrollment period.

That and car warranty calls. I must get two or three a day and all from a different phone number. I always block the call but it doesn't stop them from using a new number.

I usually let them go to voicemail but this morning I answered one. I had a foreign sounding lady on the phone trying to sell me an extended warranty. She got about 10 words out before I let her go. What a horrible way to make a living.

• Good Morning, All and Lurkers.
• Happy Hump Day!
• We have 37º in Cumming. Blanket cover to keep from freezing.
• I took a break to listen to Tom Leach. Mack Jones was unbearable. Turned it off.
• All posts have been liked.
• Wildlife since Monday have been 9 sightings. Lola barked at the two that we saw this morning. Lola getting some sunbeams right now.
• Clear and blue sky. Just beautiful.
• SawneeCat: Hope you are healing and well. Good move on hiring out the lawn mowing. You need to take it very easy.
• FCC called the other night. Woke me up. I fear he is still intoxicated. He is drinking himself to death. I called him back, but no answer. Poor thing. Pitiful.
• When is rut?
• That is it.
• As you were.
• Do carry on.

I've gotten many of those warranty calls.
