D-League

[Kai Slater]

Hi D-Leaguers,
Another rainy, muggy start to the day, but the remnants of Hurrican Fred will keep the temps in the low 70s all day; the flip side of that is much more unneeded rain around here. According to my rain guage stats that I keep at my home weather station, I've had 82.35 inches of rain since January 1st. That's not a typo and we still 3.5 months left in this year. I wish I could take half of that total and send it our west somewhere, locations where the drought is the worst it's ever been.

Nothing else of note going on around my world. My oldest son started college yesterday, so there's that. I'm also gradually easing back into exercising since mostly recovering from corona. I suffered mostly mild symptoms, but it sure did suck the endurance, strength energy out of me. Hopefully I can slowly build back up again. A few days ago, in my tennis "league" I play in, I was wiped out after one set.

Have a good one today.

Woke up this morning and you couldn't see 30 yards due to the fog. Gets really bad at times with all the corn/soy fields. But it's now clearing up even though the sun isn't out. Cloudy and 68 here in the Buckeye State now....heading up to 80.

Not much going on...but I'll find something to occupy my time. Always something that needs fixed, trimmed, sorted, cleaned up, etc

Y'all have a good day.

Good morning D-League. Continued drizzly weather in the east. At least the heat has broken.

Busy with work today, so I will just wish you all well and check back later.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

74.7°F and mostly sunny and humid on our way to 84°F. I got the yard mowed yesterday afternoon. It was one full week between mowing. I have not go that long since early March.

Dentist tomorrow.

Afghan problems were not necessary. Joe is blaming everyone but himself.

i never ever thought we would have such an inept person in the White House. We have had a few questionable ones (most in recent years) but, nothing on this scale.

 

[BBUK]

Hmmm FB keeps blocking this for some reason...

Oh, may your day be void of harm and void of dealing with those who would do harm. May God's mercy, grace, and love engulf you and your families. God Bless you all...

 

[awf]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and cloudy here in Eastern. This afternoon will bring showers and thunderstorms and a high of 77°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

One of the prettier places I have visited.........I could definitely go back for another look see......

This is one of those days where you go outside to do a little work, and within 5 minutes you have to wring the sweat out of your shirt. Hooomid out there.

Speaking of heat/humidity. My little bro has Parkinson's. Guess he's out in California right now...desert...fairly close to Nev. line. Called my older bro the other day and told him how much better he feels out there even though the temp is well over 100...but there's little to no humidity. Mentioned how the humidity just sucks every ounce of energy out of him. He lives outside Atlanta...so I guess this trip is helping him a lot.
Even though my g'father died from Parkinson's....I don't know a whole lot about some of the side effects.

One of my best friends from childhood has Parkinson. We have known each other all of our lives, went to church together, fished together, played ball together and really are more like brothers.

I have watched him decline for the past two years to the point he is now in a wheelchair. It is a sad disease and I too know little about it.

[BBUK]

Just for some old time memories of his Airness.... AFTER retirement. It is a good story to listen to, only a couple minutes.

My almost 78 years have sucked any endurance, strength and energy out of me and I don't have any hope of it slowly building back up again.

I kind of know what you are talking about, except I am 70, been staining for about 6 hours today, I AM DONE FOR TODAY!!!! Getting closer to being done!!!

Has any of the D ever listened to the Eagles Radio station on Pandora? Plays lots of music from the good old days! Heard some Bill Wither's enjoyed listening to him!!!

 

[starchief5]

Anyone here remember Cas Walker? He was a colorful character who had a chain of supermarkets in East Tennessee/SE Ky back in the day. He had a popular TV program on out of Knoxville and Dolly Parton got her start on his show. Here he tells how he is going to handle thieves that come to his stores. It's a riot.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

I hope this isn't boring everyone, but I came across a couple photos my photog buddy took as we toured Kabul the DAY AFTER THE TALIBAN LEFT in November, 2001. This is how they left it. The US taxpayers poured in two trillion dollars. We'll see how long it takes before its back in this shape.

These pictures remind me of some of the mountain villages I saw in Turkey. For my part, post all of them you want.

I love your photos Md. Keep them coming. They are fantastic

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Thanks Sawnee and Bernie. I didn't realize this inevitable collapse in Afghanistan was going to get under my skin the way it has. I probably should have seen that coming. We should have left the day our intelligence told us there were no more al Qaeda still to kill in the country. But cwe stayed. And certainly any administration should have been able to execute a withdrawal without it becoming this FUBAR...

I hate to make a political post on the D, but it really bothers me also. I've seen innocents die because of helping us in Viet Nam. How can anyone ever trust us now?

Someone once described radical Islam something to the effect as people who want to go back to the way things were a thousand years ago and want to kill everyone who doesn't want to go back with them.

I went up to this girl in the parking lot intending to steal her pocketbook but asked her for a date instead. Ended up marrying her and she's been ravaging my pocketbook ever since.

20 years and 1 trillion dollars. What was accomplished? Really sad. I'm angry. I'm damn angry. God bless the brave men and women who put up the good fight.

Beshear: Mask mandates under active consideration.

Interpretation: Mask mandates are coming.

Anyone know of a nice cave for sale. Preferably far away from civilization.

p.s. If you voted for this boy scout then you're off my Christmas card list.

Just so you know...that 2 trillion didn't go to Kabul...it may have been earmarked but that "taxpayer" dough got earmarked for political pockets in one way or the other. yeah a small percentage like 15 to 20% went to Kabul or wherever but don't mistakenly believe the dough wasn't laundered back to US political or political donor slush coffers.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and mostly cloudy. 50% chance for rain after 6 am. Hope I can walk a few before drops come down. We should stay under 90°F for today's high.

Happy Hump Day!

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

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Morning all. Another foggy morning in the Buckeye State. About 70 now...heading up to 85. And humid. So any outside work will yoube done this morning...and finish by noon, early afternoon.

Those pies look good.

Y'all have a good day.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and raining here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring more rain 🌧️ and a high of 83°.

Now I'm hungry for one of those pies.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[Girthang]

Good morning, D-League! Last moments of peace before the rest of my day commences. Thought I'd spend it with the best Wildcat fans!

If you want to look at some interesting and eye opening stats, look up the state of Gibraltar and what the mrna shots have done to their health. 100% coverage and top 4 for worst health outcomes afterward.

May you all stay safe and healthy, and continue to seek shelter with the giver of life! Have a great day

 

[Girthang]

Speaking of tomatoes...ours are doing great. Much more than we need. Planted about 10 plants...way too much.

Anybody ever seen a tomato that grows like a cherry tomato...but the tomato itself is in like a wrapped, dry leaf pod? When the pod dries out..and gets brown the tomato is ready. Peel/open it up and the little tomato is yellow/orange. Has kind of an orange/citrus taste. Really different.

Not on this planet I haven't! Sounds like danger pods from a scifi movie to me.

 

[warrior-cat]

Morning Legionnaires!

80's for the next couple of days and then back in to the 90's Modified workout for the morning with the Total Gym (unless headache is gone by workout time) and then, couch potato workout for the rest of the day (series binge watching and naps). Have an online meet and great with home school teacher at 5:15pm today.

Praying for all of those families in Afghanistan who will be under the Taliban rule. The women and children especially. I know it is a fallen world but, it still saddens me that these people who by just being born there will be subjected to harsh treatment.

We for our families need to remind our younger ones just how good they/we have it here and I thank God I was born here.

Oddly enough, my wife went to the Commissary after work and bought one yesterday. We did not touch it last night after dinner but, as Rod said:

Tonight's the night, and it's going to be alright.
