Kentucky and country music lost one of the best, Tom T Hall dead at 85. I met him and his wife Dixie many years ago and talking to him was like talking to a friend on the steps of the General Store. Some of my all time favorites were written by Tom and Dixie Hall.

One of my favorite Tom T Hall songs was a funeral song, "Forty Dollars"

I reread my post last night that I sent on my phone about my views of the planets. The auto correct on my phone is terrible.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 67° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly sunny skies and a high of 87°.

Everyone stay safe on this Saturday.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. We've got 77°F and cloudy. Clearing later for a high of 98°F. Compared with summers past, we'll take it.

Plan on taking a walk after bit. Must sort some old computer equipment for sale, probably on Craigslist. Go through a few boxes.

14 days until some Wildcat Football!

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

Speaking of Tom T. Hall, he was born here in Carter County, about 20 minutes from me. County music has lost a true legend, RIP.

Had to look up Spumoni. Never heard of it. Looks good though.

My wife had some surgery a couple of days ago and has had trouble sleeping. Last night she got up and went outside and was sitting in a chair when she heard this sound. The sound was coming from the direction of the lake, Panther. I asked her if she went outside and she yelled. NO NO NO

One of my sons as well. He was in the Marines and was in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He was part of a unit that was called F.A.S.T. (Fleet Anti-Terrorism Security Team) Lost a couple of guys (one Marine and one interpreter) with an IED explosion in the vehicle ahead of his. While I hate that he lost friends, I am grateful he came home safe. Not everyone does.

On the lighter side, after his stint in the Marines (4 years) he went back to college and became a nurse who works in the ER/OR for a brain surgeon in Tennessee. He married his wife in 2006 and now has 5 kids. When he was preparing for the wedding he requested that I wear my Dress Blues if I could still fit in them because he was going to get married in his Marine Blues. I could still fit in mine even though it was 9 years after retirement. Had everything pretty much locked away and kept sharp. Only thing I had to do was cut my hair and beard. Below is him, my daughter and me with the brood from last year.

I love it. Just a fine family! My son is an RN as well. He has two children my grandbabies but he and his wife divorced finally. She is a real nut job. I am careful to say that but she is... he does most of the taking care of his children now.

Oh, enjoy your day in the Lord, may you find opportunities to love. God Bless you all...

Tried some down in Italy. Gelatos are okay. More like a sherbet. Problem with Euro ice creams, in my opinion, is they lack substance and consistency which American ice creams are known.

Good Saturday morning to you all in the D-League,
It's a foggy, muggy, but sunny morning; 74 degrees to start out. I don't have to tell you the weather forecast; it's like a broken record around here, so you probably already know.

Breakfast is left over pulled pork tossed into an omelet with sliced ginger root and okra. Topped off with a few splashes of Tobasco sauce.

It looks like a day of house cleaning ahead for me. Maybe mow the yard if the thunderstorms hold off late enough.

There is a little town a little south of me that has one of the highest New York City Italian retirees in the state. Italian restaurants are all over the area. I never leave an Italian Restaurant without ordering spumoni.

Going to the commissary shortly. Me, my Darling, and my Grandson. That boy likes to run....

It is a sunny 75.2°F on our way 85°.

Bad news about Tom T. Hall. I loved the man and his songs. What a great legacy he leaves us.

Even with all the legal issues going on, I'm as excited about this season than I have been in many years. Hopefully I'll still feel that way after the season is over.

A funny from FaceBook:

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

This is about 10 minutes from me. No electric and highway blocked in both directions but we are dry. Some areas saw up to 11 inches of rain in a little over 12 hours here in Middle Tennessee.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Guess who. I spent many Saturday morning watching him

 

[*CatinIL*]

I'm watching the LLWS with what looks like family members only for fans. How sad.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Sorry to hear about Tom T Hall, pride of Olive Hill.

For whatever reason a lot of men from his home town got into pipeline work —Pipeliners Local 798 —during his generation, as my dad did. I worked with guys from that town from Alaska to Montana, Utah and other points west. Some of them knew Tom T and his family and all said he was a decent guy.

My favorite song of his is Clayton Delaney

Looks like he's using both of his trigger fingers.

Anybody else have in-law, 'step' family members where you just would like to hide for the day?
Tight lipped with not much to say?
In-law, 'steps' who come in...take over....everything has to be their way? Eat/grill what they want to eat/grill?
I'm having a ball.
Y'all have a good evening. Wish I could join you. 😟

Wow! That's a lot of water. Hope you guys didn't have any problems.

Did it rain a lot in the Nashville area? My oldest son lives there now. He's an absolute weather nut (he should have been a meteorologist) but I haven't heard anything from him. But I've been busy and so has he this weekend.

Think Nashville got a little rain. The majority was in 4 Middle Tennessee Counties.

I would like to say no...but...

Grilled spatchcock chicken with grilled corn on the cob tonight. Vodka tonic in the glass. Tom T. playing in the background.

Man that brings back memory’s. That’s one of my favorites also.

Not trying to be political. This thread is too dear of a place to me. This is Un or anti-American. (Whether it is true or not, I do not know.)

Had his Cap on backwards and I couldn't get the camera on my phone to it in time..

If true, then screw her. I was lucky. Unfortunately, some of my brothers-in-arms were not.

Anyone know of a dog friendly cabin on a lake within 150-200 miles from Louisville? God bless our parents but we need a getaway. Been awhile.

Good Sunday morning D-League.

The weather at this moment is 74° and the sun is rising. We will have sunny skies today and a high of 86°. Humidity is 64% and the UV Index is 9 out of 10. A slight chance of rain at 15%. So a very nice weather day.

I trust none of our D League have friends or family still in Afghanistan. 7 were killed last night . I never thought America would admit they did not know how many Americans were in any part of the world. I thought that is one reason we had passports.

Enough of that, I read Micah 5

And now for another cup of coffee, take care all.
