D-League

[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

 

[UK82]

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

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

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.

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

 

[BBUK]

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.

May your puddle be poodle-less...

Yo Momma is so ugly the whole world faked a virus just to have her wear a mask!

Yo momma is so ugly she walked into a haunted house and came out with a job application...

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!!!

You just had to do that didn't you!!!!

looks like I am not going to get to go, still raining here in the Berg!!

Any of those ancestors have experience in rain production?

[UK_fan_41102]

It's a shame that you have to offer up bonuses and gifts to get people to work nowadays.

I'm guessing his shoe size is bigger than his IQ.

 

[Ben101er]

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

Asking price and getting price are two very different things. Happy Anniversary to 02.

[Bert Higginbotha]

Just checked the weather, it said rain well stay in the Berg and no rain for Smith's Grove, Bert's fault!!!!! It is pouring here!!!!! Raining cats and dogs, just stepped in a Poodle!!!!

Wth, Bert! Cut it OUT!

Hours later I have received a whopping .004" of rain. I must start paying the preacher more.

No actually that's the set price from Acoustic Sounds. Not an auction. Outrageous? You bet but some people will buy one just because they can. It's the epitome of the point of diminishing return.

With my poor hearing the sound coming from a computer playing an MPeg3 through a solid state amp is the same as a fine quality tube amp and good vinyl.

Sadly I've lost some hearing as well Bert. It's like a cruel joke because audio has been a passion of mine since I was 12 and heard my first really good stereo. I had the "golden ear" but it's faded now. Good quality headphones help. I have 6. The only stereo equipment I buy now is for replacement only. Upgrades would be pointless.

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.

A pair of newlyweds.......Congratulations!

 

[awf]

Great info about requesting old passport back. I never knew that. Thanks.

I have my old passports for souvineers......reading them is the only way I can remember where I have been......I didn't renew mine this time.................I would be happy to never leave the state again......

You must have wore those dancing slippers out there feller.......we got about 1/2" shortly after noon........

Must've as it's worked for me before

Looks like a hog painted to look like a watermelon

Hmmm. Ours was considerably lighter and cheaper looking. Guess this one provided better sound

Good morning D League

And now for today's weather report:

Currently we have 64° with fog but the sun will take care of that soon. We have light winds of 5 mph coming from the SSE. Humidity is 74% and by midafternoon the high will reach 83°. NO RAIN and we need it

Thank you Austin for mentioning your passport. Guess what, mine has expired also. I forgot all about traveling with this COVID scare and hadn't looked at it until I read your comment. I guess it is time to get busy and renew it. And thank you Warrior-Cat for the information on mail renewal. I had no idea

Trust all have a great day. Blue and white evening on the Gulf.

Yeah, Just go on line fill out the renewal request and follow the instructions. You will need new pictures but don't need a birth certificate. The old passport will suffice. You can pay for it on line too.

 

[warrior-cat]

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?

Decided to go out fishing today anyway because Friday is another vet visit I forgot. So, fishing report was Warrior-Cat 1---Largemouth Bass 0. Caught only one and it was about 4lbs. Got stuck in the weeds and I thought that was all I had so, when I pulled it in with a ton of grass around it I did not know until I cleared the grass that it was hooked. No fight, just drag from all of the grass.

Yo momma so ugly when she was born the doctor slapped her face and said oops then, turn her upside down and slapped the other end.

Yo mamma so ugly when she was born the doctor looked at her face and her rear and said: "conjoined twins!"

You know how you hear people saying "where are all the flying cars" because we're X "years from the Jetsons" and such?

I'm sitting here wondering how no one has figured out how to regrow hair like the ones that grow in your ears and nose as you get older. ? They grow faster and more stealthily than hair on your head, and the ear hairs are a pitch to pluck out.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 64°, with mostly sunny skies and a high of 86° expected later today.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and cloudy. Winds out of the south. Expect 89°F for today's high. We'll take it.

Must call around for some bullets and shells. Old lady worried about getting robbed. Plan on driving out to her brother's or sister's places so she can familiarize on a couple firearms. Looking for 12 and 20 ga. buckshot, and 9 mm. Probably go shooting first weekend in June. Also must replace our surveillance camera controller. It shorted out.

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

Read chapter 50 and 51 this morning

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Absolutely beautiful out this morning...sunny, mid 50s...heading up to mid 70s. Some heavy rain woke me up last night, but you know how that goes....have no idea what time, how much, how long, just that it was raining.

So, while the grass is a little wet I think I'll put some weed & feed on it this morning.
The Mrs got a carpenter bee trap yesterday. She was so proud of herself until I told her I had seen some videos on YouTube on making them....and had planned on making a couple. But that's OK. Also told her about how Bert had posted a picture of the bag/fake wasp nest at his house....so we'll try that too. We've got a few of those rascals around.

Y'all have a good Thursday.

we have a turntable that was supposed to be blue tooth compatible......that is the only component we have.......I don't know squat about stereo equipment......I need to get a good mid range $ equipment to hook it to.....I need everything but the turn table......Oh, and I have albums......stacks of them........
