D-League

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F and clear. Muggy. Humid. Today's high expected reaching 97°F. Summer is certainly here.

Ventured into my workplace office yesterday. It looks like time stood still. Surprisingly very little dust after 15 months away. Eerie in some respects.

Normal Sunday routine in effect. Plan on walking in a few. Must clean up a few things around our home office. Shopping around noon. Zaxby's this afternoon.

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

When I first moved to Atlanta I found that Southerners (the good 'ol Southerners) have black eyed peas for New Years Day dinner. That, pork and 'greens' (and other things of their choice). Peas and greens are for good luck in the coming year financially....peas is coins and greens are dollars.
Had never heard of it till I moved there.

This is a typical New Year's Day meal at my house. We were cooking black eyes with ham hocks and collards with ham hocks. The peas will be served over rice to make "Hoppin' John" I also add some hot peppers to it. The collards are served with hot pepper sauce I make out of vinegar and whole green and red tabasco peppers.

This tradition must go back hundreds of years. It was my grandpa's favorite meal and he said his mother, born in 1853, also made it.

Good Sunday morning D-League. It's currently 72°, with scattered thunderstorms and a high of 86° expected later today.

Everyone have a blessed Sunday and stay safe out there today.

Where I lived in Northern Kentucky there were lots of people with German roots -- the area was pretty much evenly split in population between Scots-Irish Protestants like my people and German Catholics. Mostly no one paid any attention to that different heritage. But the people with German family roots always ate Saurkraut and pork on New Year's Eve.

Black-eyed peas with pulled-pork sandwiches tonight. God I love black-eyed peas. Not for everyone. My MIL hates them but she hates everything. Evil woman (ELO).

Your MIL sounds like mine. She also hates everything, plus she acts like everyone owes her. If I could buy her for what she's worth and sell her for what she thinks she's worth, I'd be richer than Jeff Bezos.

I did. Dad had 1940 Dodge coupe with wide shelf there. Battery was under passenger seat.

Oh, I wasn't on the shelf in early-40's. It was early 50's. I think that was the first car Dad ever owned. Everything was scarce after the war & he had little money, so I think he got what he could get & afford.

 

[vhcat70]

I unintentionally lied to you guys. As I said, I hadn't seen him in years and what I found out from him today was even more exciting. He was retired army, but an NCO. He was at one time First Sgt for General David Petraeus.
Nice guy and he thinks the world of Petraeus. Special Forces guy. He knew (showed me pictures to prove it) several big shots.

That's better even. He worked & grunted for a living.

Wonder when they're going to finish that.

Then you were in Campbell or Kenton County as Boone was mainly Baptist. But you're right. I'm a blend of both groups ex the Irish part.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning D, read 8.
Every D, have a great LORDS' DAY!!!!

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Very good analysis. Rural part of eastern Campbell - not Newport. But Bracken County has a similar mix, maybe not quite as heavily German.

 

[Girthang]

Good M'afternoon, D-L! After a late night and early wakeup, I got to back and sleep in... Now I'll have a heck of a time getting everything done today, but I feel like a new person getting started on the rest of it

 

[warrior-cat]

I am going to give you guys my go to recipe. Very easy to make.

Bread: (your choice)
Peanut Butter: (your choice)
Jelly, preserve, jam: (your choice)

I really am not picky with the bread or the peanut butter but, the go to for me in the PB&J is actually Strawberry Jam or Preserve. Eat that at least twice a week.

 

[vhcat70]

12 Mile/Gubser's Mill? 4 Mile/Camp Springs? Melbourne? California? Know them all well. Grandpa from 12 Mile. Parents both born in Newport since Dad's dad (German side) work at Wiedemann (What else?) even before Prohibition & Mom's dad (English/Scots side) was streetcar conductor.

That’s the general area. Family in Silver Grove, Alexandria and Melbourne. A generation before that, Brooksville and Augusta.

Just dropped a check for $150 in the mail for your cookbook. Cord, I hear, wants two.

Alright!. Maybe we've been down this road before, but know Pelles & Sanfosses in SG. Go Big Trains !!

YES!

They like me, they really like me! Reference anyone?

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Yeah, I think we have. I know all the Sandfosses and my sister married the brother of Joey Pelle, who owns that Pelle’s bar and grill in Silver Grove.

I never look forward to breaking in a new vision prescription but this time hasn't been too bad. I'm doing my part for myopia pride month.

Just saw where actor and Kentucky native Ned Beatty passed away. Some of his more well known roles were in the movies "Deliverance", "Superman", and "Rudy".

Ned Beatty, indelible in ‘Deliverance’ and ‘Network,’ dies at 83

The character actor also appeared in two “Superman” movies during a long, accomplished career that included theater and TV roles.

Over a mile shot.

 

[vhcat70]

Good Morning, Everyone !!

(Just getting an early Monday start.)

 

[vhcat70]

Yeah, I think we have. I know all the Sandfosses and my sister married the brother of Joey Pelle, who owns that Pelle’s bar and grill in Silver Grove.

"Pelle’s bar and grill in Silver Grove." means 2/3 of the people in Silver Grove own the bar or work there.

For those that don't know, St. Ann's Convent just south of downtown SG is where the home for the handicapped scenes in Rain Man were filmed.

 

[UK82]

We all love Clint Eastwood westerns here on the D but to be honest I enjoy his Dirty Harry movies better.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 65° and foggy, with mostly sunny skies and a high of 88° expected later today.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 80°F, mostly clear and humid. Our high today may top out around 98°F. We could reach +100°F by week's end. Our miserable summer has again arrived.

Monday, Monday....

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

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D League. Sunny and cool (so far) in the east. A beautiful day, which can’t help it if it is a Monday.

I’m out walking through a patch of woods, and for the first time in four weeks the birds are louder than the cicadas. I think those buggy buggers are on their way out.

I hope everyone has an enjoyable day.

 

[warrior-cat]

Morning Legionnaires!

Hot day coming up. 74° already mid 90's today and 100's by the weekend. Going to the Wildlife refuge and museum early on with wife's family then on for a lunch date.

I have always like Ned Beatty's characters. RIP

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Beautiful morning here in the Buckeye State. Sunny and only 60 if my weather app is correct. But will warm up quickly in that the high for today is mid to high 80s.

As bad as I hate to say it....might do a little outdoor painting today. Not a big fan of painting although everyone tells me that I'm a good painter and quick at it. Why? I worked on a paint crew for a house builder/developer family friend of ours one Summer in college. Learn all the tricks when you do it daily. But I hate it.

Y'all have a good beginning of the work week.

 

[BBUK]

So do I. Clint is the king.

Eh, he is a great one but....

God Bless you all. I hope and pray today brings you contentment. I am of the adage that you should be content but never satisfied. May your days today bring you personal fulfillment.
