Anyone have any kind of update on FCC?

Gentlemen, I have been a longtime lurker here. I met FCC back when he worked at Dollar General by his posts on here. I only talked to him a couple of times but, he was a good man. I am sorry to be the one who brings bad news, but he passed away back in May. Some of you may have known, but since no one else had mentioned, I didn't think to post it. I didn't know for a couple of weeks.

Thanks BBUK. FCC was FutureCityCat. He posted here a lot. Had some issues/hard times. Several of the D Leaguer's tried to help him.

My care for American's and America runs deep. I do hope this can happen as it is long overdue...

So sorry to hear. Thanks for the update.

Good morning D-League. It’s muggy and overcast in the east this morning.

Further Condolences to the family of FutureCityCat. I recall his passing was posted on here earlier.

Those not inclined to watch the Olympics may have more incentive with the basketball team dropping a warm up game to Nigeria last night. Just looking at the roster, the US team feels a little small and lacking in superstars.

As I said in a Rafters thread, LeBron would join if he hadn’t already committed to the Chinese team.

Good LORDS' morning D, read Jeremiah 43 this morning.

We have had 3.6" of rain and it's getting ready to start again!!!! Bert it looked like yawl were getting lots of storms too!!!!!

I hope the D has a great day and prayers!!!!

Good Sunday Morning to the D

Read Jeremiah 41

And now for the local weather report. We will have a normal July day with a current temperature of 72° and Wind SE at 6 mph. We should reach 84° by midafternoon and have a 52% chance of scattered thunderstorms by 4 or 5 o'clock.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of FCC, I missed it when it was first posted. I do recall the word about Railroad Kat passing. May he Rest In Peace and be with the Lord for eternity Life is but a fleeting moment. One never knows when it is time to meet our Maker so we must be ready at all times.

I received the rain gauge I ordered and now it is time to put it together and find a good spot to place it. If I run into trouble Bert told me I could call him for instructions and if Bert doesn't know the answer I can call one of my grandkids I suppose. I trust all are well if you need rain, let it pour and if you need sunshine, may your skies be clear.

A very cool feeling 70 out this morning...overcast and gray (or is it grey?)
Anybody else love to wake up to the sound of rain? Was cool last night. A/C off and windows open, and was awaken by the sound of rain at about 4a.m. Love it. Expecting more rain today and especially tomorrow according to the forecast. Oh...and I did get an electronic rain gauge a month or so ago. A small cheap one but it seems to be doing the trick, so that's been fun to play around with.

Y'all have a good, healthy, safe Lord's Day.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 72° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring thunderstorms and a high 82°.

Sorry to hear the news about FCC.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

But did he hug you for me Sir!

I always force Austin to hug me. I told him you ask me to do it, so yesterday it was your fault.

Austin got here on time. We ended up grilling in a thunder storm. Paul held the umbrella (I know we are not too bright, but the umbrella's handle is fibreglass. 🤣 ) while I flipped the food.

Thanks to Cordmaker we finally got rain.

We ended up so far getting 3.26 inches:

Thanks for letting us know.

I did not know that Gary had passed.

Rest in peace Gary.

I probably should not post this, but UK's Brandon Stockton grew up with a lady that I graduated high school with. Judy's husband died and this is what Brandon posted. It got me crying. Bob was a fine fellow.

"I haven’t felt this much heart break since I lost my grandmother many years ago. This man whom I call Dad has been there for me for more than half my life. I’ll never be able to tell him thank you enough but I’ll definitely pass on the many lessons and values he taught me to my own son. I wish Beckett had the opportunity to spend more time with you but God needed you more. The world and this community just lost a Wonderful soul. Please whisper a prayer for my God given family Judy Reece (Mom) Jennifer Reece (my Sister) and I as we mourn the loss of Bob Reece (Dad). Thank you for those who have reached out to us already. Bob touched so many lives and I’m very blessed that he called me his Son. I love you dad. You can rest now:"

Good morning from Anneta, KY on Nolin Lake. Currently 70°F, cloudy with occasional rain. We received some massive downpours last night. Got a little bit this morning.

Had a wonderful visit with Bert and Sherry yesterday. As always, incredible food and hospitality. We survived a very close lightening strike. It sure spooked those cattle out in the pasture. Heh, the sudden flash also spooked us humans who were close by. Great memories.

We're heading to Louisville later today for visiting a few friends and family.

Again, RIP FCC (Gary).

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

This is the one I bought. I am anxious to start playing around with it. Especially when a Cat 5 hits us. LOL

On the Olympic note, I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to watching this year. The crowds will be limited and evidently they'll be prohibited from cheering or even talking loud during the events. My greatest concern is seeing American medal winners kneeling during the National Anthem. You know it's going to happen. I've always loved, loved, loved the Olympics but that's one scenario I can't stomach, and on a worldwide stage. 1968 all over again.

I like the running events. Probably all I'll watch. Maybe some swimming. Events that are judged are useless to me.

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Had two of our infamous monsoons pass through here two night in a row. Got through the first one with no tree damage. Whew. I had heard that a second one was coming so I spent a couple of hours yesterday in this ungodly heat bracing up limbs of the most vulnerable one. To no avail. I lost a 25' tree completely last night in my back yard. I usually bite the bullet and take care of this stuff myself but I'm gonna hire somebody this time.

FCC. Sad and tragic story. i hadn't heard. But not a surprising end. Sounds like an act of mercy almost.

Prayers for his family.

Isn't FCC the poster that @wildcatdonf would talk to once in awhile and tried to help?
Speaking of...haven't seen don. Hope all is OK.

Just kidding of course,

Ben was the guy who tried the most to help him, as I remember. I contributed also, along with several others.

Gary was a good guy who got hooked.

Rode to Louisville (Hillview) after stopping for donuts in Shepherdsville today. Traveled from there out Gene Snyder to Fairdale. Worked on a 31-foot Paradise Point camper trailer. Those things are fairly involved.

Ate lunch at Moby Dicks. Good cod sandwich. Awesome hush-puppies. Left there and drove 31W all the way down to E-Town. Noted this world famous landmark between West Point and Radcliff below:

Back on Nolin Lake. Life is good.

Couldn't see that vault, something blocking my view. (I've been there.) jk jk...

Oh, I hope all's day went well. Been out and about. Too much out and too much about but what can we do. God Bless you all and may your evening be peaceful...

One of the greatest sporting events ever. Broke the record by nearly 2 feet. Olympic week at the D.

 

[BBUK]

Good Morning all,
Don't know the weather but it's warm. Been busy and will be again if the Lord doesn't take me home.

Oh, May this day be a day that will be special in a good way, to you! God Bless you all!

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Another Monday, of another week, in another month. In the mid-60s heading up to 80.
Been a weird Spring/Summer weather wise. Dry April...cool wet May....Summer has been up and down, a stretch of hot weather then it cools off. Haven't had the A/C on nearly as much this year as normal. Maybe I'll head out to the climate change conference where all the billionaires are dumping all that nasty killer carbon in the air with all their private jets and see what the heck is going on.

Y'all have a good day.

[Bert Higginbotha]

Morning folks. It is a relatively warm 72.9°F on our way to 83°, with 70 percent chance of rain. Saturday and Sunday we ended up with 3.63 inches of rain.

If it does not rain I will mow today, so you all have a good day.

The weather is normal for this time of year. We have 72° and the high will be 86°. We should have plenty of sunshine this morning and our regular chance of thunderstorms late this afternoon. We had a nice one last night.

Today the Stanley Cup winning Bolts will have their big boat parade. Always fun and it should draw a big crowd.

I am headed out of town tomorrow for about 2 weeks so I will spend today packing and preparing for that. I trust all are well.

Good morning from Anneta, KY on Nolin Lake. Currently 72°F and cloudy. Increased rain chances roughly late afternoon. Expecting 81°F for today's high.

Really enjoyed our trip to Louisville area yesterday. I learned much about RV camper trailers. We literally figured out how one expands sides manually and with battery power. Also leveled the trailer out. Cuz drove. Heh, it was nice playing passenger for a change.

We plan on getting into something today. Definitely running up to Leitchfield for a few things.

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

Pecan pie is up there with coconut cream and pumpkin pie as one of my favorites.
