D-League

I have seen quite of few of these boys around the house this spring. They are welcome but not as pets as some like to do with them. They keep the rodent population down around here so like I say, they are welcome.

A Cobra!!!
 
Just returned from another hike. Huge concert happening two streets over where shooting occurred last month. Parking lot is packed.

Earlier today during my first hike, a gent says to me, "Hey Amigo, where is your flashlight?". Ha ha, he's accustomed seeing me so early in the mornings carrying a flashlight.

Grabbed Zaxby's earlier. Love their new Signature sandwich. Current temps at 89°F. Not bad, actually.
 
In high school I ran the 440 (back when it was yards instead of meters). I hated it; however, I was really good at it.
FWIW, 440 yards = 402m - two steps longer. Me, I never could run.
I also ran 440, 880 and 800m during HS. Half-mile was my best event. A few small schools seemed interested, but not I.
 
Anyone ever watch these aincestry dot com commercials and wonder if some snopes-like jokes are the ones sending back the results and drinking mad dog while laughing their assets off thinking about the people reading them?
Beware that some outfits market genetic codes. I don't know if this is illegal but it's smells as my genetics are mine to sell or give away.
A smiling corn snake could be construed a sign of healing.
 
Was streaming an episode of Poirot the other night. The Mrs has seen them all but not me.
Scene where a train was coming into the station. Steam everywhere where you couldn't even see the train (head on shot). When the cloud clears a bit I noticed that the steam is coming from two portals at the front of the engine...one on each side like a car would have in the back. Not a train guy.....casual observer.....but I have never seen that before. Something unique to English/European train engines back in the day?
 
First Masters in my lifetime that I haven't really watched. Watched a little yesterday and none today (but to be fair haven't felt good today and took about a 3 hour nap...something I never do). Afraid the overall wokeness of all sports and the networks have done me in.

Got hooked on the Masters in about '59, '60, ? Was raining and they spent the whole time interviewing the golfers as the rain was coming down. And showing shots of the course (I'm sure back then it was only the last 3 holes or so and a total of 5-6 cameras. That was my first introduction to the Masters and I was hooked by the peacefulness and beauty of the course. Years later I was able to be at the club a number of times....never for the tournament....and it's more beautiful in person.

Hope you're feeling better soon my brother.

Water snakes here for the most part. 6 ft long black water snake interrupted my tilling last year. Banded one that suns itself on the rocks here too. Wouldn't mind seeing one of those pretty ones there. Maybe a green snake or banded milk snake would be nice

No worries here. Tried to talk some family out of submitting theirs but the world is rainbows and unicorns for some folks. Told them it would be for sale. 2 years later somebody bought the company and funny... all of their records were sold with the company.

They don't talk to me now
 
Good Morning D Leaguers

We are starting the day with plenty of sunshine and a temperature of 66°. Our high will hit 83° by 3:00 PM. No chance of rain until this evening when it will be 72%.

My TV watching for quite some time now does not include any network TV. I actually got rid of cable and stream. Sometime back we started watcing Britbox and enjoy it. Last night we saw the last episode of Morse which was a popular detective show over there for years. I will miss the old guy and hated to see him take his last breath on the final episode.

I trust all have a nice day and if you are ailing I pray you get better.
I don't know if Britbox carries Doc Martin but if they do then I'd highly recommend watching. We watch it every Thursday night on KET/PBS. Comedy/drama. Worth it just for the scenery.

Never watched a Masters or any other golf ever.
 
All Cobras to me....
e.
The snake I posted is a corn snake or rat snake to some. It is harmless to man. They have very small teeth and a bite would be a scratch at worst. They prey on mice or rats so you would not want to kill one.

There was a report of a cobra in central Florida. That was a pet and escaped . I don"t know what happened to it Another snake may have ate it.

The snake I posted is a corn cobra or cobra snake to some. It is poisonous to BBUK. They have Gorilla teeth and a bite would kill or cause sudden paralysis. They prey on anyone or anything so you would want to kill everyone you come across.

There was a report of a cobra in central Florida, BBUK killed it. That was a pet and BBUK killed it anyway. I don"t know what happened to it but I know BBUK didn't eat it.

Back from the first practice of the year. Mainly hitting and a little outfield. My hitting was normal mostly line drives when I connected good. Few pop ups and did put a couple on the fence at 300 feet and a couple of one hoppers to the fence so, I still have enough power to go out on occasion. However, I have never hit for power. I have always been a base hitter going deep only when the situation needed to advance runners or score a run and have on occasion hit one or two out a year on average.

While out there I ran into a guy who used to play with us about 10 years back who retired very early from it because of work. He came out to see how we were doing and talked for a while. Ask me if I still taught Karate and I said yes so he ask If I could teach his son (8) and cost was not an issue. I told him I taught from 2pm- 3pm or 3:30 depending on how I felt for the day and that his boy would still be in school. Apparently not, he is home schooled and has wanted to take martial arts for the last year or 2 so, and that time would not be a problem. His aunt would bring him and take him home. Well, I just picked up our third student. Trying to keep it a small group to help student to teacher ratio down.
Was doing it as a favor to an old friends daughter then, my instructor brought his girlfriend and now another one and I told them it is not about the money and the cost to them is a poultry $10.00 a week. Just need money for my gas to get there. I live out of town and drive about 34 miles round trip.
 

My Dad used to catch rattlesnakes for the Holiness Church when he was young...in Middlesboro.

I crawled under houses for a living for 20+ years in Kentucky. I have a love/hate relationship with snakes. I have many, many escapes where snakes are concerned. I respect them but I do not like them. I am not afraid of anything I know of except losing my family. I am not afraid of snakes but, I do not like them.

That stated, I don't like snakes. Ask me why, and I will state, I don't like snakes. (It may be the slithering sneaking, and deception associated with snakes. Who knows, but I don't like snakes.

Go ahead, ask me, if I like snakes... ;)

I'm going out on a limb here but from what I'm reading you don't like snakes?
