D-League

[Ben101er]

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.

Overcast and about 70 in the Buckeye State...high is only supposed to be 74. Good chance of showers all day so its a bit muggy.

Hate those roundabouts. Years ago all these small towns had them, but they were then called town squares...some towns around here still have them. But the 'roundabouts' must be the new thing with road engineers. We were at one 4 or 5 years ago in a suburb of Columbus. Very, very busy intersection...so why?
Saw a couple of cars that got tired of waiting their turn...that just floored it. Came within inches of causing a crash.

Y'all have a good day.

I got accustomed to the roundabouts while living in England......they rely on everyone respecting the rules........that is why they no longer work in this country..........respect for the laws/rules of the road.........

Howdy D-League. Hot, humid and overcast in the east. The cicada song has become a constant -- two weeks it has rarely stopped during daylight hours and easily dominates other environmental sounds like bird songs or cars passing. They must think I'm a tree, because they make a direct line for me when I'm walking and love to light on my legs or back or neck. I discovered two of them high up on the back of my shirt this morning -- I think they were trying to mate.

I hope all is well for the D-League. Have a good day folks.

Sure it wasn't maggots?

One of my railroad friends, Russ Hamilton of Hamilton, ONT played bagpipes for the "Queens Brigade". He used to bring them on his trips to the U.S. but they got really picky about the ivory in them so he had to stop.

He could entertain anyone within a half mile of him.

Ditto.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

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.

 

[cordmaker]

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.

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

I edited it before you pointed it out. But what do you have against babpipers?

Maybe babpipers are one of the types of pipers one must pay.

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.

I really liked the onions, I guess the butter and brown sugar made the very tasty!!!

First it was a the Guatemalans and now the cicadas. It's been a rough week for the left.

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.)

 

[AustinTXCat]

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.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 70° and overcast, with thunderstorms and a high of 80° expected later today.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[BBUK]

Vote for them people, vote for them...

I am dropping off posting for a bit. This is becoming too much. What in the h_ll is half this country thinking about putting this vermin and rubbish in charge of anything... Yeah, I am better off alone at this point.... I will read some but enjoy this communism...

Read Jeremiah 5, telling them like it is!!!!

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 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. 😉

I edited it before you pointed it out. But what do you have against babpipers?

Someone had written in a bathroom stall, "I like grils." Someone came along and crossed out "grils" and wrote "girls" instead. The next person then wrote, "What do you have against us grils?"

 

[cordmaker]

Good afternoon D, just got done mowing and it is hot!!!! Neighbor walks over and says, you are a tough ole bird mowing in this heat!!!! not sure how to take that!!!

Breakfast for supper tonight!!! Scrambled eggs with cheese in them, biscuits, gravy, sausage and bacon!!!!!

Hoover Dam Reservoir Hits Record Low, in Sign of Extreme Western Drought

The reservoir created by Hoover Dam, an engineering marvel that symbolized the American ascendance of the 20th Century, has sunk to its lowest level ever, underscoring the gravity of the extreme drought across the U.S. West.

Just returned from Hop Doddy's. Great time. Limited masking. Great visit with everybody.

Eye exam today. Getting my first bifocals. Ugh! Looking forward to my first prescription sunglasses though. Should make walking the canine more enjoyable.

 

[AustinTXCat]

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.
