D-League

[UK_fan_41102]

Well, rough week coming to a close tomorrow. Had to put down one of my dogs on Wednesday (Old and was not eating or moving much). Held him when he went, was shaking at first but, I calmed him down. Had to take another one to get checked out at 1330 today because she has a growth that has been getting larger. It was small last time the vet saw it and said if it starts growing (it is) to come back. They took some samples to see what kind of cancer (they think it's cancer) and we have an appointment next Friday to have it removed. On top of that MIL and BIL (The vegans) are coming over again this weekend. Oh the horror! So, I went fishing this morning before taking Brandy (my dog) to the vet.



Fishing report: Warrior-cat 6---Largemouth Bass-2. Hooked 8 and 2 got away. Kept 5 because that is the daily limit at FT. Sill. Damn Vegans.

Sorry to hear about your dog @warrior-cat. I've had dogs that I thought more of than some people. They really are"Man's best friend".

Good morning from ATX. Currently 72°F, cloudy, windy and a bit wet. Expecting some more rain between now and later this afternoon. We'll take it.

Called my little brother in FL. We talked for quite a while. Middlesboro house may sell soon. Medicare finally accepted a settlement from mom's estate. Found out brother also owns three houses in Lakeland plus one in Plant City. Proud of him.

NASCAR racing comes to Austin this weekend at Circuit of the Americas. I might watch.

Chores on the agenda for later on today.

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

Dogs are part of the family but, just as important is that we are part of their pack as well. Yes, they are only here for a short time but well worth it.

Well, my wife does not have to worry about this one, vanilla pudding not high on my list of Homer type reponses.

This is an old fashioned swimming hole that once were very common around these parts. Before towns built swimming pools and everybody had their own pool. This one was located in Longwood, FL. near Orlando

It is Sanlando Springs and was damned up in 1926 to form the swimming hole. It lasted until 1970 when developers bought the land and made it private. It is now behind a gated community of expensive homes. The lake behind my house was similar. It was deep in the woods and comes from a natural spring and was once a community swimming getaway.

I remember the days when you would tell your mama you were headed to the swimming hole and she would say, "be back for supper". Now parents freak out if their child doesn't check in every 10 minutes on their cell phones. Give me the simple life

Morning stranger. I hope all is well with you.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

It is already 74.1°F and sunny on its way to 87°. No hope of rain and we could sure use some. We are into our summer weather pattern apparently.

I must mow today.

I smoked a 3.5 lb. elk steak given to me by my hunter cousin. I was not that pleased with the results, especially when I worked my butt off getting it ready.

Years ago I had a couple of dogs that were rejects someone had messed up......it wasn't a pleasant experience........now 40 yrs later.......I have two Goldendoodle mutts......the male is a fb2 and my female is a fb1.......they are very smart.......very easy to train........I have found out that raising your own dog is much more rewarding than to try to re-hab a dog from the pound......how can you not love something that is so excited to see you every morning or every time you leave the house and return........

We have three dogs. When my wife returns from the mailbox about a block away, you would think she had been gone a month or two from all the barking and howling.

I ran out of emojis. That is a "wow", "sad" and LOL all in one.

I loved it.

 

[BBUK]

I hope all are well. Got up with the chickens. My grandson crowed. Been going hard ever since. Made a good pan of biscuits. Had a couple of overeasy eggs with black pepper. Had me coffee.

Took my daughter's car to Costco for a fill-up, been cleaning on that car ever since. The carpets and mats are completed. I just chugged a yuengling. This will be at least a three yuengling day. May be four but we will see. I scrubbed her tires, aired them up. I am going to clean the interior trim and that will be enough for today. I will clean the glass and outside tomorrow. She even paid me.....

Oh may your day be fulfilling to where you look back and say...this was a good day. God Bless you all...


Edit; It was a two Yuengling day...

 

[AustinTXCat]

My uncle's place is right down the road from your Cuz......his place was on Lake Shore Drive.....

If I can find a decent deal in the area on a lot, I'm buying. Realtor showed me a lot last month, but too much development required.

Good morning D-League. Currently it's 63° with 88% humidity here in Eastern Kentucky. Later today will bring mostly sunny skies and a high of 88°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

Where in EKy is that castle?

Where are the gators?

 

[vhcat70]

Just loaded/unloaded 30 bags of mulch. Now I'm starting to drink.

Condolences on having to put one of yours dogs down. That's a tough one.

First day of cicada singing.

I haven't heard one where I live in Louisville........I was reading a blurb some place that the brood that is hatching this year is not the big one for KY......I think they said the brood that will invade us hatches in three years.......

 

[_Rooster]

I seem to recall at one time a number of years ago (maybe 80s) that the Colorado no longer ran to the Gulf of California. That it dried up long before it got there. Don't know if that's still the case or not.

Here's some info about current state of the Colorado River Delta. Linky

I am hoping the girl pictured earlier is not riddled with cancer and we can get on top of it. She is the care taker for the other dogs and me. My wife and daughter picked her from a bunch of dogs that were to be euthanized in just a couple of days if they were not adopted. She was about 6 months old and is now a little over 6 years old. I had my eye on a 1 year old white shepherd mix but, gave in to that one because they liked her. She took to me though and is now my caretaker. The picture below is the day we got her. She has a big scar down the center of her back that looks like a burn scar that she had when we got her.

Good morning D League. Took my longest hike of the year yesterday and am a little leg weary. My wife’s stepmother is in town from Florida so we are prepping for a visit.

I hope you all have a great Sunday.

Found it interesting in an article about the lack of water that there's a picture and a couple paragraphs of the nursery and the guy is spraying water on the plants. You would think they would do the drip irrigation like Israel and I'm sure a lot of areas/farms/etc do.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

That was me yesterday with the Mrs.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Beautiful sunny Lord's Day here in the Buckeye State. Going to be a hot one but at least no humidity.

Y'all have a healthy, safe, productive and blessed Sunday.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Sunday Morning,

Looking forward to worship this morning with family and friends. Our day should be pleasant with a current temperature of 60°, wind out of the East at 6 mph, humidity 65% and sunny skies. The high today should reach 83°, humidity will drop to 35% and the UV Index is extreme. That is important information for the tourists. NO RAIN. We remain very dry

Pictured below is a photo of a Florida egret with their young. This is a native bird and very ancient. Pictures of them were drawn by the Egyptians and given a special place in their culture. Trust all have a great day.

Good morning D
Happy Sunday
Sitting on the front porch with my second cup of coffee enjoying the warmer weather, the birds singing and the flowers
Going to be getting ready for church here shortly. Really looking forward to it today as my older son will be playing and singing again after a rather long hiatus. I do love to hear my boy sing. And a dear friend and her fiancé will be visiting this morning too
Been posting some on Rafters. Someone had made a thread asking where I was lol
Some things over there never change though.
I think we can be cautiously optimistic given the changes Calipari has made, but gotta see them play. Need to change more than team members
Have a great day all

Yep, a new direction now since most others have locked on to the OAD players. Now, it seems to be that Calipari is going with the tried and true players in the transfer portal. Will have to see how this pans out. It will still take some coaching because these guys have not played with each other.

Yes
Cal has to change his philosophy too
Quit showcasing NBA talent regardless of how they play and put the best TEAM on the floor

Just curious, is the longest hike and wife's step mother thing connected?

I hadn't seen any white Egrets in the Louisville area until two years ago.....now I see one almost every day......global warming......

I've seen that old house up there on the hill. Doesn't look like they have remodeled it since I was there almost 50 years ago.
