[BBUK]

Good Morning all,

Had a rough couple days due to a pulled muscle in my ribs on my right side. (A flare up due to that darned dog that broke my rib a couple years ago. The only consolation is, he is long gone.) I feel a lot better this morning. I used a couple lidocaine patches last night and I am not hurting as I was. I know what caused it but it doesn't matter. We have such a good time together. I am doing some pushups and other calisthenics to keep the old(er) at bay.
(I am upping them too as it is way too soon to slow down like my body wants.)(Has to be a mental thing. I have that licked as I am 'temperamental!(95% temper and 5% mental -M. Howard.)

BOB (Big Ole Boy) and I have things to do. His Mom is not working for a couple days so I will have time to heal. His Mom spends a lot of time with him when she's not at work. I will only see him a little today...

Oh, may the Lord bless you and keep you in his love as he always does. Don't stray from God's love. He does not move but we tend to wander away. That is when all doesn't work so well. God Bless you all...

And this one goes way back. Happy was the star of Senior Day, another UK basketball tradition gone. Happy did it best

Y that's amazing playing that much golf!!!

I'll be dialing the swing way back to get through with no ill effects. On Saturday though, I'll unleash the beast in the scramble if I have to. We've got a young guy on our team that can take it deep but he doesn't always find the fairway.

I crawled under many houses in Bullitt county...

Some of my relatives have lived in north Bullitt County since the 1960s. I may visit them this coming Sunday.

Everyone has a swing, you just have to find yours. And also consider, heat, humidity, firmness/softness of greens and fairways, wind, lie, slope, cut of the grass, type of ball, type of shaft, type of club head, hot dog vs hamburger at the turn...

Simple game when you break it down.

FDA tells Johnson and Johnson to halt the COVID shot. If you took I pray all is well. I think they have vaccinated 7 million so far

Bom dia,

• Insert random old man complaint here. I am just grumpy today for no good reason.
  • Much like 6-out-of-7-dwarves, I am not Happy. <- I kill me.
    • An old joke, I know. My daughter has been after me to recycle useful items. I am not sure my jokes were what she had in mind.
• Supposed to be 64 and nice today. I hope to sneak in a walk at lunch.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning D-League. Back from a long hike and getting ready for work.

Thanks for sharing that UK memorabilia Sawnee. That magazine cover of “freshman Chris Mills” brings back memories - all bad. Coincidentally this weekend my son was watching the NBA network and there was a game from the mid-1990s focused on Allen Iverson. But there was Chris Mills near the end of his pro career.

One small piece of commentary - remembering those days of NCAA sanctions makes me grateful to Pitino, Tubby and Calipari for running a clean program while winning championships and going to Final Fours.

I went to a driving range once a long time ago. Everything was a line drive down the third base line.

 

[bertfan31]

I'm outta here. Going early to chat with a few guys and drink free coffee. Folgers, medium roast. Been that way for many years.

Sunny and a little cool this morning in the Buckeye State. Heading to the mid 60s, so when the dew dries from the sun I'll need to do some mowing. Yard needs it again (only been a few days)...some company coming tomorrow so it needs to look nice...or nicer than it does now. Fields need mowing before they turn into overgrown pastures.

Never could get into that show. Seems that many times I go against the grain......what is touted as 'great', 'must see', etc....I don't like.

Rental car prices have increased dramatically due to chip shortage and so many folks taking vacations. What normally costs $431 now goes for $628.

Wow! Wonder when the reported monthly inflation numbers are going to show all these cost/price increases? Heard the other day that the cost of building a new home, due to materials and so forth, has gone up 35% in a very short period of time.
Ex-FIL (RIP) was very high up in the U.S. Labor Dept. Used to tell me stories of how the Clinton administration would kind of 'cook the books' to make things look good/better for them. Could Sleepy Joe be doing the same?

And this one goes way back. Happy was the star of Senior Day, another UK basketball tradition gone. Happy did it best

One of the things I will not forgive Calipari on is the absence of Senior Day. With all the kids both in the state of Ky and elsewhere, that would give their right arm to play for UK, even if they're a 2*, and without a full roster every year (unused scholarships), there's no reason why we couldn't have at least 1 Senior every year.

Morning folks. It is a cool 56.5°F and a sprinkle of rain. I am glad that I got the yard mowed and whacked yesterday. In April it is a twice a week project as the grass grows so fast.

Golf is the worst sport that I ever played and I loved it with all my heart. I could knock the crap out of the ball and never know where it was going. Back in my railroad days CSX owned the Greenbrier and Sam Snead was the pro. Sam told me twice that I should give up the game. I told him I should but I like it too much.


I had to edit the "know" to knock. Geeze how do I do stuff like that.

Thunder Over Louisville will be this Saturday but.... it will be different. What a shock! To prevent crowds they'll be shooting the fireworks off in 5 undisclosed locations throughout the city. Not the riverfront. Rooftops? Fields? Seems kind of hard to hide but we'll see.

Thunder Over Louisville is back but has a new plan for 2021. Here's what to know

Thunder Over Louisville is back for 2021, but like everything else during the pandemic, it will look different. Here's what to know about the show.

Two sports I was really good at were b'ball and golf. Being fairly tall, golf was a bit more of a challenge in that with standard clubs it seemed I had to 'reach' with my irons. So once in high school...with custom clubs...that got much better. When a Senior, coach of Memphis' golf team came to look at one of the guys on our team. Guess he noticed me too 'cause I got a call a month or two later with a qualifying offer that if a kid in another state didn't take it, they would offer me a scholarship. Alas...he accepted.

Back in my railroad days CSX owned the Greenbrier

Had no idea CSX owned Greenbriar. What a beautiful place. Have visited a number of times....and it never got old.
Take it they've sold it by now.
Amazing how for years they did all that 'secret' construction underneath it for gov't officials in the event of a nuclear war....and for the most part, people didn't know it. A few guesses maybe but didn't know exactly.

I never went back again. It's the only time I ever hit a golf ball other than putt putt.

I think that they have sold it. It was nice to have the company pay me to stay there as it can get a little expensive.

Never could get into that show. Seems that many times I go against the grain......what is touted as 'great', 'must see', etc....I don't like.

I did not watch the original shows for much the same reason. When it started back up in the 2000s, my daughter picked it up, and we started watching it as a family. I really liked the newer version. Once she went off to undergrad, and I was single again, work took over my time. So I drifted from it.

On occasion, I will watch a few episodes. If Lexy comes over for a TV day with dad, Dr. Who seems to be a show we can watch. lol

I think it is definitely an acquired taste for most. I do enjoy a bowl of popcorn with either Clara or Amy on a cold night. The Doctor is just kind of there.

The character Clara had an expression that tied into her first and last appearance in the series.

"As my mum used to say, The souffle isn't the souffle; the souffle is the recipe."

I love that sentiment.

Good morning! Not much to say other than I'm awake and I don't want to be.

Supposed to play golf today and tomorrow. Then I might play Thursday afternoon but probably not. Friday evening I'll play 9 or 27 holes. Saturday morning playing in a scramble at 0800 and then directly on to Smith's Grove.

Somewhere in the melee I'll have to mow the grass again.

I'm still trying to deal with the end of civilization or I'd be there with you folks. We'll get our 2nd kneeded vaccination Friday.

That's more complex than figuring out how to measure chlorophyll activity using satellite telemetry . . . .

Happy Lunchtime everyone...a piece of fried chicken & some tater wedges.
Some peach cobbler would go nicely with that.
Got myself in a golf scramble on Sunday, debating to take a vacation day on Monday.
Yesterday would've been Dad's 83rd bday...time rolls on.
No military experience here, but I do admire & respect the heck out of'em.
Oh, well...all for now, back to the "W" word.

Here's the one that sticks with me:

Birdie birdie in the snow
Broken wing and broken toe
Took him in and fed him bread
Then crushed his ****ing head

Dry land fish, soup beans, fried taters, and corn bread make for a good supper.

If you ain't had dry land fish you ain't from Kentucky!

Huh?

Edit; Oh, had to look it up....

I met a "Schroomer" while on a bird survey. He was researching mushrooms as a USFS/student intern. A "splitter" trying to figure it out. He used dried mushroom spore dispersal patterns to id the ecotypes. More than I wanted to know. I showed him one of these.

 

[BBUK]

If you ain't had dry land fish you ain't from Kentucky!

Yeah a Michigander by blood, a Kentuckian by heart and heritage. My youngest was born in E-Town. (But, I'm an honest Michigander.) When you talk to me you ask if I am from Kentucky or Texas. I always state, I am a hood at heart. I thought I was black until I got my drivers license...

Of course not but when you're camping on a bird survey and it's daybreak at 9,000' or so.
