D-League

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 66°, with 92% humidity. This afternoon will bring a chance of thunderstorms and a high of 86°.

Today is my 21st wedding anniversary. Doesn't seem like it's been that long.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

Sorry I missed it. Happy 21st anniversary.

A happy anniversary to you and your better half. (It must be that way but you already know it.)

Oh, and may God bless all of you to have more days of love and togetherness with your families. Time is what God gives you, use it wisely. God Bless you all...

Four Norwegian vegans, ages 26-28.

I thought I read that ABBA's tour bus got hijacked during the Mogadishu Tour...I guess it gets tough to find gigs after a few years out of the spotlight.

I hope all is well with the D-League. Busy times at work for me. And my wife is back on the 6am shift at the hospital so by late morning it feels like it has already been a long day. I hope it is a good one for everybody.

Looks like a parody of the BeeGees.

Happy, happy to you and your better half.

Looks like the beach scene from that Jodie Foster movie where they build a contraption that makes her travel through wormholes without the vessel leaving the planet...

As my fancy friend always says, "Buonanni!"
(Happy Anniversary!)

This cartridge is on sale for $20,000. Kind of makes you want to bring that old Technics out of storage.

No idea what that is

Turntable cartridge. Of course you'd probably want to buy a $50,000 turntable to use it.

Thanks to all for the Happy Anniversary wishes.

Speaking of things for sale, got an email yesterday from Rush Limbaugh's site where they are/were selling some of his private things .... golf clubs. Why they sent it out I don't know because it looked like all the clubs were already sold. Club was mounted in a display case that you could hang on the wall (at least that's what it looked like). Looked like they went for 3-5K apiece. Thought they could have gotten more.

Waiting on the rain here in the Buckeye State. Is a nice, comfortable mid-70s now with a high of 80. Rain was supposed to be here around 8 a.m. but now looks like 11...if at all. Front's moving to the North. So it's been one of those mornings debating if it's worth getting outside and starting something. Think I'll just wait it out......because......

like warrior, I'm sore this morning. Did a lot out in the yard yesterday...about all day. Mowed front yard, trimmed an area in back that had grown up some, etc. Cleaned and rearranged the garage....moved an old buck stove from one side of the garage to the other to free up some room. The Mrs. asked how in the world I moved it (she was out running with a friend having fun while I worked) and I told her I just picked it up and carried it...but had to lift it over my head to get it over my table saw... 😉
So it's one of those achy days. The old bones/joints don't get any more limber with age...why is that?

A sure sign summer is on the way. I like mine cold with a salt shaker nearby

I recently sold a Rush Limbaugh "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" mug for $99.00 on Ebay. I had it in a closet since 1998. I got it for free when I subscribed to the "Limbaugh Letter"

Congrats on 21 years.

You can do it by mail. Also, you can request that they send the old one back (they will put two holes in it) and you can use it later as an extra ID in case some place required 2 or more.

I never renewed mine after I quit work as I never plan on leaving the U.S. on my own.

No. The salt shaker must be IN HAND! 😁 I love watermelon.

I have one on ice right now. A big 'un. It is that time of year

Same here. If I do go overseas (have no urge to do so) it would be to Israel (not now though...duh) or France, Germany. I could care less about the tourist sights of Europe....but I've always wanted to follow the route of my Dad's unit in WWII. France, Luxembourg, Germany. Found a private tour that followed the 3rd Army route, but then Covid hit.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

It is 75.4°F and cloudy here. I am praying for a little rain. My yard is in great need. The maximum chance is between 1 and 3 pm. The high today is supposed to be 75 so we are there already.

You all have a great day.

Lord willing I want to make one more extensive trip overseas and that would be to my ancestral home of Northern Ireland and Scotland. I have a friend over there and he has provided me with a wealth of information on my heritage dating back to 900 AD. That is when my family name began.

This is the spot I want to stand on.

The Mrs bought our first one of the year the other day. A little early...wasn't great, but wasn't bad. Think it was 3.99...was (I think) 6.99 a week or so ago. Loved it when I first moved to Atlanta and there would be trucks on the side of the road selling them for a dollar. Imagine they still do down your way.....but not for a buck anymore.

Watermelon question. Whatever happened to the large/seeded ones. Almost all now are the small/seedless ones. Easier to grow? More melons per acre? I like the large ones better but up here you don't see them much anymore.

Should be in your stores in a week. Need to find/harvest seeds for those somewhere though.

Since my recent prayers failed to bring about the desired result, I will do the rain dance of my ancestors for Bert while praying to God.

Got no answers for that. You'd think we'd just be getting warmed up/limber by about 50 years

None of ours had one of those. Where did it go on the turntable?

 

[Girthang]

This world is screwed, no question. I'm just glad I have neighbors like I've found in the D-L.

Have a great afternoon! Going back to the grind (technically it's tilling but isn't that grinding?), lunch with some friends at 1230 and I may have had too many beers to drive there... It's only 81° here but I got a little thirsty

Back in the day a lot of people called it the needle. The cartridge houses the stylus or needle.

Oh yes, plenty of watermelon trucks around. My county and surrounding counties are agriculture based with plenty of watermelon patches. We still have the very large with seeds watermelons down here. The most common ones are the rattlesnake watermelons. I wonder if due to the reduction of the family size and cost to ship they just don't send that many out of the South. Who knows.

RATTLESNAKE WATERMELON

I remember the very first time I brought my wife down to Florida from Kentucky. I told her the minute we hit the Florida line she would see watermelons 10 for $1.00 or ten cents apiece. She told me I was crazy but guess what.....lol. There they were. They were the size of what I use to call an icebox watermelon but 10 for $1.00. nonetheless. Of course this big 250 lb boy might cost you a couple of dollars or three

Good morning D, cloudy and cool this morning!!!!

Read Isaiah 49 this morning.

May go metal detecting today, my friend called me yesterday, said he was going to the farm today if I wanted to go. He told me where two old wells were and where the old house was, been in the family since 1860's. Directions are go out 431 somewhere , turn left on another road, then go 5.6 miles out to nowhere!!!

Hope the D has a great day! I always have the D in my Prayers!!!!

Keep a close eye out for Cobra's. They are everywhere!!!
