D-League

Sure it wasn't maggots?
There was a prophecy by a pro-Trump, conservative minister a few months ago about 'insects' invading D.C.
Now, was it a true word from God...or did he put 2 and 2 together knowing that this was the year of the cicadas?
Saying that....in my neck of the woods (literally) haven't heard one peep (or whatever screeching sound that is) and have seen none.

So I'll go with the prophecy that D.C. is a swamp of corruption, etc...God's fed up....hence the release of the locust. 😉
 
  • Good Morning, D-Leagueanites and Lurkers.
  • Missing BF31 and Beverly.
  • The White Tails must not love me anymore. Haven't seen very much of them.
  • We haven't had any Cicadas either.
  • Coffee over.
  • Breakfast over.
  • Wet on this deck from a shower last evening.
  • Lola had to wait until it all dried to get close to me. She wasn't happy about that.
  • That is it from here.
  • As you were.
  • Carry on.
  • Get well soon if you are sick.
  • Be careful out there.
 
I fixed a Cornish Hen last night, not sure which way to fix it, but I used our Dutch Oven, melted butter in it, then cut up 2 onions, then put whole carrots on top of the onions, brown sugar, then put the Hen on top of that and cooked for 1-1/2 hours. Mrs. M thought it was delicious and wants to cook it again soon.
Any of the D, fixed it like this?

I have not seen nor heard one locust. I listen to news reports out of Washington and Baltimore and they are loud as bagpipers.
 
Well, I guess the cicadas ain't all bad...In my younger days I made many, many of those junkets either on the "Zoo Plane" as we called the press plane, or, when my name would role up randomly as a pool reporter, on Air Force One. I was never a full-time WH reporter, thank god, but during the Clinton and Bush 2 eras got pressed into service from time to time. You are basically a glorified stenographer. And yes, the WH press contingent was overwhelmingly liberal and pro-Clinton, and anti-Bush.

I don't know if they still do this -- it's the kind of thing Trump stopped -- but they used to mail everyone who flew on AF-1 one of these certificates. I got a bunch of them somewhere.

Not me, but I bet it would be good.

Hell I am such a security risk that they won't let me in the same airport! 🤣

Swipe that maggot off your foot... jk jk...

Sounds good cord. I grill them every once in awhile. Them little boogers are getting pricey.
I love candied carrots, or whatever one calls them. Little brown sugar, butter, maybe a bit of honey.
 
Good Wednesday morning, hump day if you are still working for the man.

We have a current temperature of 71° and sunny skies. Chances of rain today are no better than 11% at 3:00 PM. We should get up to 87° about the same time.

I smell sausage frying in the pan, we are starting the day off right with a good breakfast. My favorite meal of the day. Coffee is good and I just finished Jeremiah, Chapter 4. I see a similarity in Israel at that time and America today.

I trust all are well and in good health. Have a roundabout day
I think RAB's/circles are great, but that is way messed up. BTW, in MA they're known as rotaries. Had them in early '70's already when I went to school up there. Also BTW, it's difficult to find a stop sign in England.
 
My Tanker Buddy strikes again.... (Thanks Mike D.)

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F, cloudy, steamy and hazy. Humid. Today's high tops out around 96°F. Heating up again.

This afternoon after work I'm heading to Hop Doddy's for a few beers with colleagues. Plan on riding city bus. We're slowly returning to normal.

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

Hope everyone has a good day and stays dry. My computer went down a few days ago and it looks like the motherboard is the culprit. So, I will probably have to purchase another laptop and I’ll not post much. This is from my phone, and I hate it.
Having a power button failure with mine so, I have kept it on 24/7 for the last week or so. Bought a new one the other day and will eventually start using it after transferring all data from this one.

Good Thursday moring

Sausage is frying and the sun is up. Our temperature is 75° and wind South South East at 4 mph with a humidity of 82%. Chances of rain are 15% and the high will reach 86° by midafternoon. That is a nice beach day or just boating around.

How many slept in the back window of the car when you were a kid. No seat belts and the cars had a lot of interior room. I had a brother and sister and when we were traveling and getting sleepy I had to go to the back window since I was the oldest. Is that child abuse today? Am I entitled to get reparations?

I trust all have a great day and are in good health.

I have not, but I have always wanted to.

I did that too.
 
Morning all. Had an early eye doc appointment, so a late start to the day. Plus with all the eye drops in the old eyeballs no outside work today, because....can't see 😄 So today's a lay on the couch and watch TV/movie day. Probably watch a few westerns. Got Geronimo:American Legend on now.

Yep...did that too. Things have gotten so goofy....my stepdaughter and her 2 rug rats are coming in later in the Summer for about a month (joy joy). They live in Seatlle and she's left leaning of course. Her youngest is about 8 now....and she wants to make sure that we have the car booster seat ready for when they're here. Its not a full baby car seat...but close. Just goofy....but of course some of these states now have laws where the kids have to be in a car seat until they're 25. 😉
 
We had a number of posts a few weeks ago about Lake Mead. Saw this just now....
 
Good morning D-League.

I just finished Jeremiah Chapter 6.

The temperature at present is 71° with Winds West at 9 mph. West winds give us Gulf Breezes. Chances of rain are about 11% by mid afternoon. The high should hit 84°. We will have plenty of sunshine.

We have been enjoying fresh corn on the cob (roasting ears at my house). Local farms have an abundant crop of Silver Queen which is one of my favorite varieties. I trust all have a great day and watch out for bicycles.

Nice looking morning in the Buckeye State. Mild with a bit lower humidity. Last day (in the forecast) for chance of showers/t-storms...but we got none yesterday when they were saying we were to get t-storms in the afternoon. But forecast for next couple of days is hot. Maybe 90 tomorrow.

Need to do a little mowing today. Hope the back holds up....been hurting every since I last got on the yard tractor.
Eye exam today. Getting my first bifocals. Ugh! Looking forward to my first prescription sunglasses though. Should make walking the canine more enjoyable.
I wear glasses on and off. Have script but normally don't wear them in the house or out working in the yard....but to read and drive. I had bifocals and hated them. Got rid of them and got no-line bifocals. Hated them. Got rid of them and got progressives (I think). Like them. Much easier to focus, refocus, etc.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F partly cloudy and hazy. 94°F looks like our high today.

Happy Friday, y'all!

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

Love, love german chocolate cake. My mom made the best (IMO...I'm biased).
Have never tried the boxed german chocolate mix, but have made just a boxed chocolate and iced it with the caramel pecan icing that Duncan Hines, etc have in their little premixed icing containers. Turns out pretty good.

Y'all have a good Friday.
 
Good morning D-League. Waking up early with these longest days of the year. I've already knocked off a long walk and a productive morning of work.
I feel like I'm ready to go back to bad.
Unfortunately, still a couple years from having that option.

Rainy and humid here. But at least it is Friday.
I hope it is a good day for everyone.
 
Good morning D, Read chapter 6 this morning!!! Who is coming from the north?

Supper was excellent, 3 cheese scrambled eggs, Velveeta, white American and mild cheddar in them!!!

Got a call from my son this morning, drunk driver decided to drive thru our church yard last night!!

Glad I mowed yesterday, had a slight window of opportunity to get er done before the next rain and made it by 10 minutes!!

I hope the D has a great day, Prayers for the D!!!!!
