I know everyone on here likes good eating, so I'm going to recommend a great ham to try (if you haven't already). I used to love Superior Tavern hams until I discovered this:

I keep it in the fridge. Wonderful stuff.

Morning Legionnaires!

Weather will start to taper off a bit today and start cooling down. High 80's possibly low 90's with tomorrow even cooler. Got a little rain last night but not enough since it has not rained in a bit.

Well, about eating growing up. From birth to about 7 years old that was practically one meal a day. My father was a drunkard who took all of the money he made and spent it on booze and his friends. My mother would work last couple of years my father was with us with 4 kids at home oldest being my sister by a year with the two youngest being watched by our aunt with me and my sister going to school and coming home alone. My aunt lived in J-Town while we lived in the middle of Louisville on Fisher and then Lynn street. Me and my sister once hitch hiked to J-Town just to meat out mother there when she picked up my brothers to come home. That did not sit well with her. Anyway, the money she made was to give us more to eat but, my father would find that and spend it and if he could not find it he beat her tell she told him. He did the same to us regularly. I was hit with an empty beer bottle once when I was trying to go to sleep against a wall. He made us (the kids) walk around the room late while he and his buddies were drinking so that we would be too tired to wake up early for school and make noise. Mother woke us up anyway and I practically slept through the first grade and failed it. Eventually my mother got tired of it and met my step father who was 6"4" and weighing about 240lb at the time and ran my father off. Needless to say, we ate much better after that but, he was pretty rough too. There is a poster who used to post here who knew him (Mr. Fox, yes ymmot he is real😜) and could tell you how rough he was. One of the reasons I joined the army. Those first 2 years of school mayonnaise sandwiches was all we had. To this day I will not eat mayo, salad dressing, Miracle Whip, or anything resembling, even salad dressing's like Ranch and others. My salads are topped with either a vinaigrette, light Italian or salt and pepper.

Morning folks. It is a sunny 66.4°F here on it way to 86°; zero chance of rain.

On Jessie's daughter's death: yesterday afternoon my den filled up with folks wanting to talk. Jessie and his wife, and a couple others. We drank some whiskey, white russians and wine. The big problem is who gets the 10 year old son. Those decisions are above my paid grade, but the camaraderie really helps people sort things out.

I get my annual eye check this afternoon. I hate all the light and pray for a cloudy day. Well today is nothing but sun!

Ate many mayonnaise sandwiches as a kid. Lots of potato and white beans suppers with a slice of white bread. Speaking of white bread, anybody heard the old saying "the whiter your bread, the sooner your dead"?

Just finished emailing my congressman over the incarceration of LTC. Stuart Scheller of the marines. He sits in the brig at this point awaiting a hearing. Below is and excerpt of an article written yesterday.

“Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller Jr. is currently in pre-trial confinement in the Regional Brig for Marine Corps Installations East aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune pending an Article 32 preliminary hearing,” said Capt.Sam Stephenson, a spokesman for Training and Education Command. “The time, date, and location of the proceedings have not been determined. Lt. Col. Scheller will be afforded all due process.”
(After publication the Marine Corps confirmed that Scheller is accused of the following offenses under the UCMJ: Article 88: Contempt toward officials, Article 90: Willfully disobeying superior commissioned officer, Article 92: Failure to obey an order, and Article 133: Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.)

I am not a Marine, nor do I play one TV, but for me the charges break down like this:

• On the second and third: Scheller is inarguably guilty as charged
• On the fourth: The charge is not only spurious, but is in direct opposition to observable reality; Scheller is in truth the living, breathing embodiment of how an officer for whom integrity and courage are still more than just empty words ought to conduct himself
• On the first: Guilty as charged, said guilt mitigated entirely by the simple fact that contempt, for almost any officer above the rank of Lt Colonel, is the only opinion of the miserable rumpswabs any honest, self-respecting man could possibly hold

Stipulated: in time of peace—more importantly, with a military whose flag-rank officer corps has NOT been corrupted stem to stern by the crippling toxins of political correctness, partisanship, and self-dealing—LTC Scheller’s defiance would amount to insubordination, and the harm done to respect for the chain of command would indeed warrant the harshest punishment.

Unfortunately, that is no longer the military and flag-rank officer corps we actually have. If it were, it’s doubtful in the extreme that Scheller would have felt the need to do what he did in the first damned place. To my way of thinking, the burden of criminality is properly on the shoulders of the reprobates **cough-cough Obama cough-cough** who purposefully perverted the higher-officer corps wholesale, and the ladder-climbing, ass-kicking scoundrels who acceeded to positions they were wholly unworthy of a result of said perversion.

It isn’t LTC Scheller who should be sitting in a cell awaiting trial and punishment. It’s his accusers. Scheller’s real crime was his courage, and his inability to just sit back and keep his mouth shut in the immediate presence of the brazen outrages, the raw treason, to which he was forced to bear witness. Yon says:

One who Surrenders to the Machine vs Warrior who Stands
LTC Scheller is essentially a prisoner of war at this point. Not by letter of the law, but in essence.
Scheller is the first POW in the unfolding civil war. A Marine officer taken by Marines.
Notice the narrator misses the point of self-sacrifice. It’s all about career.
The longer Scheller fights, the more support he gathers. The harder the war-losers punish Marine Scheller, the stronger this leader becomes. This true Marine can flip the script and suddenly outrank this tormentors through elected office, and/or power of the pen.
It’s only over if he quits. If Scheller goes Honey Badger, they are in for torn flesh.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 63° and foggy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly clear skies and a high of 80°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

I'm saying Bruges, Belgium. Great, great place to visit.

They built an underground line from the local brewery two miles to the bottling plant outline town so that trucks didn't have to navigate the narrow streets. The taproom at the brewery was open!

In Bruges, beer to flow underground

Come summer, it won't just be water flowing under the streets of the Belgian city of Bruges -- a two-mile pipeline exclusively for beer is under construction.

I know everyone on here likes good eating, so I'm going to recommend a great ham to try (if you haven't already). I used to love Superior Tavern hams until I discovered this:

I just returned from Publix and picked up a "Kentucky Legend" ham. It is the only brand I buy. My wife is going to make a "1905" Columbia Restaurant salad for supper and the Kentucky Legend is best for that. She said she would make it if I picked up the ingredients

It's the only brand I buy as well. Nothing else comes close to it imo. As someone already mentioned, it's good for breakfast or supper.

Saw Seger in high school back in the 70's. Night Moves tour. Came out for 3 encores. Most likely staged. Enjoyed it though.

I saw him in 76 at Freedom Hall. Opened for Kiss.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 70°F and cloudy. Rain showers moved through last night and early this morning. 40% rain chance around mid-day. Today's high could reach 89°F.

Happy Hump Day!

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

Horsepower is a made up term. Horsepower cannot be directly measured. Horsepower is a function torque.

Cats are an 8 1/2 point underdog against the Gators. Home field advantage helps. Gotta be honest, even though they're 4-0 (should be) they haven't impressed. Florida is playing as well as any team right now SOOOO..... I'm cautiously optimistic. Where have I heard that before?

Yeah, I believe that whole heartedly. I have always been against those who say that they did what they did because they were mistreated when they were a child. I don't believe in that excuse myself. I have never beaten my wife or my children. Swatted them (the children) on the behind once or twice but for the main part all I needed to do was give them a looked and tell them no and that did the trick. My step father used to whip us until we had welts and such. I made a decision that I did not want to be like my father (Who died last October) or my step father. Once you hit the age (mentally) of understanding and accountability you make the choice not your past. I know some people say if that is all you have known you know no better. I can't buy that because there is plenty of information and people out there to show you a better way.

I worked with the Belgium army (forAustin: 4th USAFAD 59th ORD Bde) for a little over three years on my second tour in Germany Feb 84- May 87. Most of the time we went to the field we convoyed to Belgium and spent many weekends and weekdays off enjoying the sights and the people. Their beer was some of the best I have ever had. Spent a lot of time in Antwerp and Brussels.

Except for taxes, all of Central Europe indeed has their priorities in order. Belgium is a fun place. Trappist monasteries there are legendary for beer. I last visited Belgique in 2010.

As soon as this COVID crap subsides, I'm heading back to Europe for 3 weeks. Hopefully Summer 2022.

I have in my bucket list a desire to visit my ancestral home of Northern Ireland and the Southern Lowlands of Scotland. I had this trip booked but medical issues caused me to cancel everything. I was also planning to visit England, France and Belgium in the same trip.

I would like to rebook it, hopefully in the Summer of 2021

Good morning D-League. I hope the day is off to a god start for all. I've been working for a while, trying to get everything done so I can head off for the Smokys and the cabin we've rented with a clear head and no harassing calls, texts and emails.
