Chili is like pizza...it's all good but some are much better than others. I'll eat skyline but I won't search it out.

No team in the tournament could hang with Colorado today. Wow!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

They opened a Skyline here a few years ago, and it never made it. Then, a Gold Star opened in the same building, and it couldn't make it. I guess our are is just not ready for the Cincinnati chili. I like it, but once every 6-8 weeks is enough for me. I suppose others felt like me.

We have them down here. There must be some transplants from Cincinnati because it is doing a real good business. If you are visiting Clearwater it is located on Gulf to Bay Blvd as you head to the beach. They always have a crowd.

Other areas of the state with Skylines are Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Naples and several more in the Miami area. And if you want to make your own our Publix stores sell the little packet with the seasoning and you can find it frozen in the frozen food section.

It is very similar to Greek cooking because of the touch of cinnamon.

Seen on Twitter: "Oral Roberts has more wins over Ohio State than Jim Harbaugh."

Heh.

You all do realize he will be totally out of control now, right?

And Bert H will be blaming all his bad posts on the other Bert.

We have it in our frozen section, as well. Most around here like it ok, but I guess we don't have the population to sustain it. Probably about like White Castle. You like it, but only so often.

Bert? Bad posts? C'mon now, Chief. You know better than that.

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday.
Been in and out all day. Working in the yard. Nice day in the Buckeye State so thought I'd get out and do a few things. Was thinking of doing it tomorrow, but don't like to work on Sundays (brought up that way...the Lord's Day...day of rest). Spread fertilizer/pre emergence. Couple days on and then rain in the forecast for Wed....so hopefully it'll do it's magic. Put on 4 big bags (10,000 sq ft each). Could have got/done more but that's enough.
Anybody done a concentrate liquid pre emergent? Or do they even make it? Was thinking while walking around the yard with the spreader that a liquid type might be easier (although spreader's not hard).
One thing I'm thinking of doing is putting a 'tee type' area in one of the fields. Weed & feed and keep it cut and then practice short-mid irons from it. Haven't played golf in years, and doubt if I get back to it, but I figure when I'm bored it would be something to do...along with a little target practice with my pellet gun. Was thinking of putting in a green too....but too much work. But, when it gets warm, with all the yard/gardens work....don't have a lot of time to get bored.

Time to wind down and get ready for Dinner/Supper. Rotisserie chicken, asparagus, salad (maybe) and some b'day cake from earlier in the week.

Carry on. See where we lost a couple of 'pros'.......

 

[UK_fan_41102]

I just saw where Boston will sign with an agent and declare for the draft. While that part isn't shocking to most anyone, it becomes shocking when you have 3 declare for the draft off a 9-16 team.

9-16

It is an absolute joke and is killing Kentucky basketball. It isn't funny anymore. And we ain't done yet bro

It's beyond sad, when UK loses almost as many players off the team as the games they won.

Haircut (normally annual, but going 2x yearly) complete. Wife has known the hair stylist for over 40 years. Long-time family friend. Everybody masked up. It seemed sorta strange during this "new normal". Front and back yards mowed. Couple beers down the hatch. Watching college basketball tourney. Hope Cal watching too. It's a doggone travesty UK Wildcats nowhere in the mix this season. I just ordered some stuff from Germany. Probably arrive next month. Life is good.

Hope y'all are enjoying this first day of spring. Weather is beyond awesome.

 

[bertfan31]

When the announcer said Pitino had done as much as any NCAA coach, I pointed out to him that Rick had done more, since he was probably the only coach to operate an on campus brothel. He ran a full service program, but with an unhappy ending.

 

[AustinTXCat]

I might be in the minority, but hopefully Ricky P upsets the Tide.

Hmmmmmm......stimulus checks going this past week...email from Target about a big sale on TVs, soundbars, etc.
Coincidence?

We're saving our entire check if/when it arrives. Honestly, I have no idea whatsoever if we've received the check or not. We're filling our return within the next few weeks.

 

[BBUK]

I have seen your name spelled various ways. There must be a story behind that

Has to be drinking involved Sir. Has to be...

Oh, I do hope all had a glorious day today. I slept in late but got up, half-way cleaned my garage, vacuumed my upstairs and took my darling out for our weekly shopping trips to the markets. I do enjoy reading all's input. God's blessings to you all and your families. May you come to realize the impact God has in your lives. Give thanks, God loves you!

My wife cuts mine and has since about 1995 or so. My darling was a barber for many years and really helped us get on a good path financially. She had to be one of the highest paid barbers in San Antonio while she was there. She had a tremendous clientele. Has a knack for cutting hair but I was able to talk her out of working since we left South Carolina.

What did you order from Germany?

The new norm.

 

[AustinTXCat]

What did you order from Germany?

A couple interesting, custom-made latex products. Nearly had them shipped to my ex-wife or son, who are both German residents, but decided to pay an extra $5 for shipping to ATX.

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 50°F and cloudy. A high of 76°F is forecast for us today. Nice out.

I caught the end of the Longhorns vs Abilene Christian Wildcats game last night. The other Wildcats upset the Horns 53-52 in the first round of the tourney. Just loved it. More games today. I may watch a few this afternoon.

Chores and grocery shopping also on my agenda for later.

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

 

[catfaninsc]

Morning D. Salutations from the shanty.

About 6 of Austin’s crunchy tacos sounds pretty good for lunch.



More coffee..................................................

I have a lawn service (True Green) since I had a lot less success than them when I was doing it my self. They come five times a year, 4 for regular fertilizer and weeding and once for lime.

Morning! good folks of the D-League. It is a sunny 48.0°F on our way to a relatively warm 66°F. I am planning on bring out the plants from the garage and work shop for the summer. I am tired of having to water them. God will not do most of the watering.

I watched a lot of basketball yesterday and last night. I did not intend to watch the NCAA this year, but I love the sport. I am mainly rooting against teams instead of for teams. I sure am enjoying seeing the ACC go down like the Titanic. I did root for Florida State because Leonard is my friend, even though I usually root against anything else connected to Florida State.

I did not want Boston to come back to Kentucky. I though he was selfish.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

. . . . a FaceBook funny:

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Sunday Morning, I trust the Good Lord takes a liking to you today.

It is Spring? Spring?

We are currently 55°, with winds NNW 7 mph and humidity is 77% with a UV Index 3 of 10. Our high will be a smoltering 67° and wins will increase to 12 mph. Most of the day will be partly cloudy.

Speaking of yard work we trimmed 36 palm trees this week and it took two large trailers to haul away the debris. These are old, very mature trees that are also very tall. Thankfully I only do it once every 12-15 months.

So that pretty much concludes my yard work other than regular maintenance of mowing and fertilizing. I will sit back and let nature do what nature does.

Even though the Cats are not in it, it has been a great tournament to watch. Close games, upsets, buzzer beaters etc.

Agree on Boston. He did do the right thing for him by declaring. He will be drafted mid first round and make $$$$$$$.

 

[AustinTXCat]

This morning's haul at the Mi Mercado parking lot 2 streets over from us where shootings occurred March 12.

Life is good.

In a few years he will top what I made in my career, and I considered myself a success but I sure as hell could not play basketball.

I hope Loyola hangs on and drops Illinois to the curb. Could all these upsets be attributed to incompetence on the part of the committee? Considering who was in charge of that committee, it has to be in the discussion.

 

[bertfan31]

Well, that was fun. Indiana and the Big10? Birds of a feather flock together and what not. Got tired of hearing how good that conference was all year.

Didn't lose a nickel on sports this year so far and won $250 on a Super Bowl pool.

Taking a break from basketball and heading outside to the sunshine.
