D-League

OC, I flew up for my 1st cousins, daughters birthday. She is Sr Marketing Director for a cowboy boots company Outside of Texas and Vegas most of her work is in Nashville with country music stars.

Her agent and publicity director hosted the party in Franklin, TN and then they took us over to The Opry. We met Connie Smith and others. I especially wanted to meet her.

A young lady, 19 yo from Lexington KY, Anne Wilson was the star of the show. It was her very first performance at the Opry and she blew the doors off of the building and raised the roof. WHAT A VOICE. Kentucky has produced another Super Star. Her very first record went to #1 and that was a first time a woman had done that.

Today I will follow my wife all over the town and catch an early morning flight back south

Go CATS, a great win yedterday.

I remember when Connie Smith came on the scene. I loved her music and she impressed me as a very nice and humble girl. She had a very nice gospel album.

 
Good morning! According to my wife, it was raining here this morning. I didn't get up to look because I trust her judgement on such things.

Nearly broke my left pointer finger yesterday coming in the side door to the house. Somehow it got hooked in the latch as I was walking around the storm door. This morning it is swollen and I can barely bend it. Not as bad as last week when I walked my knee into the corner of the coffee table.

Talking about pain...I'm now well into my second month of having Shingles. If you are over 50, GET THE SHINGLES VACCINE!! You do not want this shit!
Really sorry to hear about your troubles. Hopefully you're through the worst of it.
 
Good day, D-League!

Hope you're enjoying (what's left of our country) this fine (soggy) day! Administration is rescuing (importing) refugees (democrats) by the county full and sending them all over (swing states) the country for the 9th straight year. Should be fully under (Chinese and middle eastern) control by the end of September.

The airlift was a complete (democrat) success! They rescued (everyone but the people that helped us and Americans) a total of over 100k people and left no one (enemy) behind!

Peaceful (beheadings, hangings, and trafficking) diplomacy has begun in earnest once again. The world is a safer place for those (enemies of our constitution) at home and abroad. We've even bolstered our (negative) perception while arming our new allies the Taliban.

All this work to be celebrated this Labor Day!

Along with the possibility I will be getting a divorce soon, I can't think of a better start to fall!
Damn I sure hope a divorce doesn't happen. Unless of course you want one.
 
Uh oh, Governor Beshear will hold a special legislative session to address Covid concerns. I got a bad feeling about this.

On a different note, if anybody believes in the Old Farmer's Almanac then we can expect one of the coldest, snowiest and longest winters in many years.

I am ready, but I don't believe half what they publish.
 
There is a BBC show that my wife watches, over and over. It is called "New Tricks". It is a detective show where they bring in the old bastards to solve dated crimes. Here is the lyrics to the jingle.

It's alright, it's okay
Doesn't really matter if you're old and gray!
It's alright – I say, it's okay
Listen to what I say

It's alright, doin' fine
Doesn't really matter if the sun don't shine!
It's alright – I say, it's okay
We're gettin' to the end of the day

High tech, low tech
Take your pick
'Cos you can't teach an old dog

A brand new trick



Then repeat.​


I thought that was perfect for us old farts on the D-League.

I ain't skeerd. I live in Phoenix (and there are only about three weeks until the brutal heat is gone).

*I'm genuinely curious. Has anyone ever gone back over the years to check the general accuracy of the Old Farmers Almanac's weather predictions?

Old dogs have our own tricks and it ain't treats for those that piss us off.

Oh yes. It's just a nuisance at this point. Doesn't bother me all the time like it did for 6 weeks. Should be totally over in the next few weeks.

Old Farmers Almanac? Pffftt! I saw a wooly worm at the golf course that was totally black! Can't go wrong with the wooly worm forecast. Also, there is an abundance of acorns on my oak trees. I don't have to tell you what that means.

"Batten down the hatches maties, there's a coming up a bloooow!"

This show is mine and my wife's favorite. It has a perfect cast. It makes murder humerous. We watch it every night
 
Funny and coincidental....we had reservations for this weekend at the Opryland Hotel. Was going to go there since my oldest son moved there earlier this year...and the Mrs has never keen there (especially the hotel...beautiful place). But when her daughter and kids first scheduled to come in for the Summer they didn't know if they would be here thru Labor Day or not. It all depended on what the schools would be doing in Seattle. If remote/at home they would have stayed. If in person they would go home. So I cancelled our reservations just in case.
Funny you mention the Opryland Hotel. Quite a few years ago they bought new lamp shades for ever room from a guy from California who got them from China. They were all bad and Opryand was pitching a fit at him. He called me wanting us to take a crew to the hotel and fix them. I wasn't about to waste my time and energy bailing out someone who bought Chinese crap. I don't know what he did, but I told him we didn't have time.

I was just going to say that it has been forecasting incorrectly for this area for years, but eventually will get it right if they keep the same forecast. It's like Phil Steele's mag.

I saw 3 woolly worms last fall. All 3 had different forecasts, if you went by their markings.

It's probably due to weather mod. Can't expect a wolly worm to get it right in such horrid working conditions

New Tricks is great. Gerry is a real piece of work.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and clear. 30% chance for rain around noon. Today's high may reach 96°F. We hit 102°F yesterday.

Made a mistake yesterday. Cards play Ole Miss tonight.

Happy Labor Day! Yeah, I'm off, but still up early. Planning on a walk and then taking care of a few things.

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

Just so happens I had my coffee ice cream last night. Always ahead of the curve
 
Good morning, D-League!

They're protesting all over the world right now. People are carrying signs and letting their voices be heard in Scotland, France, and the US. How long until we have some kind of crazed violence that the gov just needs to respond to with force? I'm hearing it's a matter of days.

In other news Chicago schools lost 90 bus drivers over mandates, 70 in one day. From what I know of some Chicago schools, that may be a blessing for some of the children who no longer have a ride there.

The entire sports world seems to have forgotten that the 1st weekend of college football isn't over, with Ole Miss set to play (with) against UL this evening. Seeing ND's miraculous (being handed a) victory against FSU will make you forget such trivial matters.

Hope y'all have great Monday and rest of your week! I'm going to go have some fun of my own for today and through the week. Moving lumber, digging a trench, and more such grooviness!

In order of taste for me, the left one first, the middle one in front, and then the cone. You can have the back one.
 
Looks like a lot of the D are up and at'em this morning.

Beautiful morning here in the Buckeye State. About 60 out now heading up to the mid-80s. No chance of rain.

Made a lemon cheesecake yesterday for today...so we'll see how that turns out.

Y'all have a good Labor Day holiday....the unofficial end of Summer.
 
Morning folks. It is 64.4°F on its way to 83°.

I am having to re-record the second quarter of the UL Monroe game as my machine dropped a bunch of frames. I don't know why it does that sometimes but it does. Plus it costs me $0.50 for another bluray disc. That hurts a old scrooge.

Have safe travels SawneeCat.
 
I drive slow until I get to the curve.
remember this one?

Cop: I clocked you at 95mph!

Jerry Seinfeld: Oh, you must have got me in the curve, before that I was doing well over a hundred,
Yeah I think the PGA can come up with a better system.
I see it both ways and think the way they are doing it is better than starting everyone off even like every other event. Good play is rewarded over a longer period of time and reduces the chances of someone just getting hot for 4 days and winning the championship for the year.

My main gripe with golf is, rule changes made to equipment in an effort to bring about change on the PGA tour should not affect the equipment available to amateurs.
