D-League

[Sawnee Cat]

Morning D-League. It is a warm 75.0°F on its way to 94°.


My son works from home. He has an office dedicated to the job. Here he is Tuesday during a crisis at work:

Some times it is an overnight job.

Barefoot is what I am right now and how I stay most of the day. I worked out of my house most of my career. My cases were usually out of state and I had to fly to them. I used my office for paper work and to make phone calls.

When I was in an office there were too many distractions and I could not get as much work done. My daughter works for a company that may make her work out of her home permanently. The decision will be made September 1. 95% sure it will be home and not office.

My son was in the Kentucky Guard in Louisville for a time until he transferred to Florida before they deployed him. It was right around that time frame!

They may have crossed paths.

My Son's name is Luis, he is a hard character to forget.

This is not political! If true, this is just wrong and should be rectified!!!

Federal Government Gives Millions to Group That Supports Defunding the Police

The federal government provides tens of millions of dollars in contracts and grants each year to a nonprofit group that supports the movement to defund and dismantle police departments.

Very cool Colonel. That's not the place in Bracken County, KY, near Germantown? They featured that on one of those cable shows - Treehouse Masters I think -- Its very close to where my parents grew up, and I always wanted to stay there...

No, this one is in Ohio. A couple of months when I was looking around for a place and I Googled 'treehouse rental Ohio' , or something like that, I was surprised at how many came up. Guess it's kind of thing.

I put this on the football board earlier today. Looks like the NCAA and courts have greased the slippery slope of college athletics. Unintended consequences.

No. 1 high school QB recruit may skip senior season, enroll at Ohio State to profit off NIL

The NCAA set new rules allowing collegiate student-athletes to profit off their name, image, and likeness, but now it appears to be trickling down to the high school level as well.

One of my boys sent me some pictures the other day of when they were building Buford Dam outside Atlanta that led to Lake Lanier. Been in front of that dam many times back when I lived outside Atlanta and we would take the boat up there. I had never seen them and thought they may be of interest to some of you .... especially @wildcatdonf and @Sawnee Cat.

A little warm and humid on the porch this morning. Storms rolling in so it might be a wet morning/afternoon.
The Mrs and her daughter and the kids are heading out later this morning for a long weekend at a small resort in east/central Ohio. Place has treehouses you stay in (may just be cabins on poles like you see in the Smokies), but they'll have fun. Not too far at all from the 'amish country' here in Ohio so I'm sure the Mrs will want to go to a couple little towns and shop. Already told her that if they do....to stop off at my favorite all-time restaurant with the best/largest donuts I've ever had...take a cooler and bring a few home.

Me? I'll enjoy the peace and quiet. Nothing else on the docket.

Y'all have a good day. Matthew has stayed where they're going......

As I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate the simpler things more, like peace and quiet.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear. 82% humidity. Slight possibility for showers late day. Expecting 97°F for today's high.

We hired a crew to pressure wash and paint our house. Also need an outside panel replaced. Washing complete. Painting should commence shortly.

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

Amen to that.Likes to all above posts, sorry, don’t have time to pilfer through. Shit, farming is tough during late July-August. Lots of sweat and no net😅

Never thought of that (likes to all above post). I miss a few days and I am reading and liking at Commander Data's speed. I will have to use that one sometimes.

It's a hot one today, to hot for a UPS driver to get out of his truck and make a delivery. Jan saw him turn around in our parking lot. The back door to our building was wide open and you can see it from the driveway. There were 2 cars parked by our front door. Jan was sitting where she could see out the front door and watched him drive away. UPS says he tried to deliver and we were closed. She's spent a lot of time on the phone with their automated service and occasionally a person who spoke English poorly, basically a big runaround with UPS saying the package is 25 miles away and we can go pick it up.

I should have made a career of being a UPS driver. I’m omitting the rest of my response

Haha. Can’t top that. But today our UPS driver apparently pulled up during a torrential downpour (I came in just before it started) dropped off a cardboard package on the front stoop and didn’t bother to ring the bell. By the time I found the package the cardboard was about as stiff as oatmeal. Luckily the contents weren’t something that water would damage.

Then you could get a lot of homeless ladies to come visit easy.

The Director is a respiratory therapist and works for Kindred Hospital......she tells me she is more worried about the new fungus among us.........it can be deadly and so far.....it seems to be immune to present drugs.....

Any links to papers on that? Want to read up on it this weekend, if I can. (Yeah, I'm a nerd when it comes to health stuff.

 

[starchief5]

I have two bad ankles, one bad knee and one bad hip. One artificial knee and one artificial hip. I was aiming to get the ankles and hip replaced last year but Covid-19 interfered and now I am not in the mood.

Shees Bert, if whatever you have creeps up much higher you are in big trouble.

That's what they all say until they get swooped up into that spacecraft and get an anal probe along with all the other stuff that human anatomy examination entails.

Chief, if I didn’t know better I’d think you’ve been brainwashed by CatinIL. Those illegal aliens from another galaxy just want to enjoy the American dream —not abduct us and take our stuff.

Anybody ever have a cat that would play fetch?

Yes. Best and last cat I ever had.

I've never researched my family line but I suspect they came across chained to the oars.

Same here. Probably had "nearly walked the plank" written all over em

 

[Girthang]

I was a lifelong Democrat.......then Bill decided to get cute with a young lady in the oval office.........the politicians all agreed he was a moral POS but said he was doing a good job and didn't vote to impeach him.......now I am an Independent.....but I vote republican.......straight ticket the last two elections.........I always thought that it was being simple pulling a single party lever.........I would die before I would vote Democrat again.......I am in the middle of a very good book by Mark Levine......American Marxism.........it's worth the read..........

Gonna buy that tomorrow. My reward for getting this flip finished.

 

[Girthang]

I still live in KY......we have to color in the oval and the ballot goes into the machine.......that is the last we see of it...

Have no doubt many have been changed because of that.
