It seems most products have changed in taste and quality over the years.
A friend of mine who is also an oncologist gave me a 1 litre bottle of Makers Mark that had two Vanilla beans in it.....it was 1995.....he had bottled it in 1985........I took that bottle and split it into two parts and added vanilla beans to both.......it is the best vanilla I have ever tasted.......I gave a 1/2pint that I had spit off several years earlier to some friends who proceeded to drink it instead of using it for cooking purposes........

For the last four days I've been tackling various projects around the house and yard. I'm talking manual labor. I feel pretty good. Perhaps I had come to be too sedentary? Other than golf I don't really do anything that taxes my muscles to the point I have to give that little bit extra to accomplish my goal.

I was pulling vines out of trees that had to be 40 feet long and my body was at about a 60° angle while I pulled hand over hand. I have several different types of gloves that would be perfect for the work I was doing. I call them work gloves. I haven't worn any yet, but I've considered it.

Someday, in the not too distant future, I won't be able to do what I've been doing. At this point I can hit it hard for about an hour straight and then take a break. I've found 23 hours to be the optimum recovery time.

Word of the day - Ibuprofen

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and think you meant to type "split" instead of "spit".

However, I am rethinking the way I deliver bourbon to Bert.
 
Having a discussion with my wife about pizza rolls.

Long story short, I bought some pizza rolls at the grocery today for lunch. Deli line was backed up so microwave fare was next in line.

She thinks they should be baked in a 400° oven to achieve the perfect level of crispiness. I think that if you are eating pizza rolls you have already given up and it just doesn't matter.

What do you say D? Female hypotheticals or pragmatism?
 
Good morning! Monday Monday, can't trust this day. Sometimes it just turns out that way.

I can trust that I'll be doing some laundry today, along with the dishes.

Went to McD's yesterday to get the wife and I a couple of chocolate shakes in honor of the day. I hadn't had one for a while but it didn't taste as chocolatey as I remembered.

Have a good day!
The power of suggestion. I have gained a few pounds with Austin's National whatever days. I am beginning not to like Austin. ;)

My wife would agree with your wife and pop in the oven at 400°F.

Microwave action for me.

I have the Rich Brooks label of Makers Mark bottle. I knew a man who was the supervisor of the FT. Sill ammunitions point. His son was an artist that worked for a company that designs labels and other promotional work for companies that hire them. He designed that bottle label and his dad knowing that I was a UK fan had his son bring one back with him. He gave it to me with the promise not to open it until UK won a NC in football and that if he were still alive we would drink the first shots together. If he was not alive, I would toast the NC to his memory. He is an OU fan but likes UK basketball because of me. THE BOTTLE: (Just took the picture)

I was thinking the same thing. Not the way to deliver alcohol to Bert (not had the honor yet) but, the spitting comment. Had me a bit skeeved.

I agree with your wife on this. Microwaved pizza rolls are a bit flat and too mushy.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 72°F and clear. Today's high may reach 89°F. Even though Hurricane/Tropical Storm Nicholas made landfall in south Texas between Corpus Christi and Houston, our local weather appears largely unaffected. Just a trace of rain. More 90s in store tomorrow.

It's early. I've got nothing else for now.

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

Good morning D League

It is 6:00 AM at my house and I am waiting for the sun to rise. We have 72° and clear and our high should reach 87°. It will be full sun all afternoon. It will be a nice day to go fishing or to the beach

In reading the posts this morning I realized I have not had pizza rolls. Am I missing something? I have a case of Vienna Sausage coming from UPS today which the doctor tells me to eat a lot of because I need the protein. Once I get those finished up I will try to find some pizza rolls around here.

I trust all are well and have a nice day.

I can't do jack poopy do with my bad hip, ankle and knee. I was going to get them replaced and Covid 19 stopped our medical system. I am still pissed that they have not called me back yet (they stopped the procedure March 18, 2020). Now that it is September 2021 I don't know if I will have it done.

If you have seen Coach Brooks you have seen my father. They look exactly alike. It was spooky when he was UK's coach as he looked like Dad and moved like Dad.

Have you had any others done? If so, how does it work as far as range of motion and flexibility and is there still pain? I have a neighbor that had both hips replaced through the VA and he had a problem at first just using a riding lawnmower but is now doing good with it although he says his range of motion does not allow him to raise his knee higher than his hips. I am sure age is a factor but he is only 55.
 
@Bert Higginbotha : Saturday's upcoming game (Chattanooga vs UK) not showing up on SEC Network + schedule. It appears on ESPN+ schedule.

Wanna bet ESPN changed their mind and now plan on charging for viewing the game? Bastards.
I suppose I will miss it live. Hopefully they will carry it as a re-run next week.

The deal with the SEC Network was that we would have all our game telecast as they replaced the UK Network that carried all the games the networks did not pick up. I hate them for this.
 
It is a warm 74.1°F on our way to 86°, but a 20% chance of rain. They are replacing my upstairs air conditioner/heater/heatpump today (the backup heat is natural gas which is a lot cheaper most of the time than electricity). They started at 8:00 am and it was already 80° upstairs. Those boys are going to get hot.

I have never watched a full episode of Yellowstone. I watched about 30 minutes of the first one and it did not float my boat. A lot of folks like it. Maybe one day I will get into it. I sure loved Longmire, enough to watch it four times.

You all have a good day and if you are near Evansville wake OldEvansCat up and tell him to get back on. Plus we need Rooster more than one day a week.

I have an artificial hip and knee on my right leg. They are as good as new. My physical therapist is brutal, and she will not stop until the range of motion is basically back. She is wonderful.

The left hip and left knee is a challenge as they must remove the metal from my broken femur:

Doctor prescribed 800mg Ibuprofen for my back Friday. Helped enough that I went to the golf course yesterday and hit a few few pretty much pain free. Medication vs spinal fusion, I’ll take the medication.
 
Sure, I could fix you a drink, or, I could teach you to make your own and allow you to be self sufficient.

Quitter!

Fix a man a drink and you've provided him a drink for a day. Teach a man how to build his own moonshine still, where to properly hide it, how to purchase the ingredients without drawing suspicion, and the process of properly converting those ingredients safely into alcohol and you've provided him drinks for a lifetime.

Something to think about.

My dad had a friend that was a trucker......he gave my father a case of Vienna sausage.......we worked together at that time and every day we at those sausage with crackers.......we were doing a job on the river and was sitting on the dock getting ready to eat sausage.......we simultaneously tossed them in the river.......I think we at them every day for about four weeks.....I haven't eaten one since and I guess that was 40 yrs ago
 
Morning D, read this morning, I got a couple extra hours of sleep last night, instead of 11 I was up at 1 this morning!!! When I wake up I just have to get up to get some relief!!!

There is one thing I really hate about not being able to do anything is, I have to depend on my sister to mow our yard, but I help her out so I guess it cancels out, but still hate to depend on someone to help!!!

I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!
