D-League

I have a big awkward custom made brace I'm supposed to wear, but I use a smaller store bought brace because it's more comfortable. Not meaning as a brag, but I've had 2 MD's tell me I'm the toughest man they ever met. I just do what I have to do to get by.
After my second knee operation, not major but painful, I asked the doctor if he would give me a note releasing me for work on Monday. Surgery was a Friday. He said sure, If I could handle it it would be good to walk on it. He then asked if I needed more pain pills and I told him I still had the 50 he gave me last time. He said "bertfan, you're a man after my own heart".
 
The loin side of a T bone or Porterhouse is the best meat known to man. I usually stick with ribeye as it is rich and tender, but Sherry prefers strip. I like the fat, Sherry not so much.
Wife told me one time, "why don't we just get a Tbone, I like the small side and you like the big side and we only have to cook one"? I told her EVERYBODY likes the small side sweetheart, it's the best part of a cow.

Congratulations D League! Now I'm hungry.
 
I eat steak, therefore I grill. Doesn't matter the cut of steak. I'd just as soon not cook it if I'm not grilling it, and it pisses my wife off a little bit. She never complains after she smells it cooking and is always glad when she's eating it, but she'd like me to do it more often
You can stop right there as far as I'm concerned!
 
Good morning D, read Matthew 11 this morning.

Just got back from therapy, feel pretty good right now! I have not had a good nights sleep since Labor Day week, usually up by 12:30, did sleep till 2:30 so I guess I will take that. I have been thru some things in my life, 5 surgeries, both hips replaced. both rotator cuff, and neck, but never have I dealt with something like this. My friend who I am going to at PT, we discussed some things Friday and changed my PT a little, have felt better since then, so maybe we are on the right road to recovery!!! I have not been in bed since this started either, sleeping in the recliner. He asked me what my pain level was and I told him, when one of those spasms hits, between 1-10 it's about a 15!!! But I have not had one since Friday.

Great win by the wildcats, I have already watched it 3 times, when you don't sleep you can watch lots of stuff. Defense looked great, I hope our QB gets better and I think he will!!!

I have been lurking around and saw yawl talking about Ky Legends hams, I had a sister that worked where they processed them in Owensboro and they could get employee discount on them but you had to buy a case, she would get a case, my cost for a WHOLE ham, $8, quiet a deal!!!!!

I hope the D has a great day! Bert jessie's family is on our GOD KNOWS LIST!!!!! Prayers for the D!!!!!
Good Lord! Are you Steve Austin?
 
I am going to second your post and that of Bert's. Salt and pepper only

I enjoy the taste of beef. I depend on the fat to give me the flavor that is why we do not grill out lean beef. I want fat on it, such as a rib eye. No sirloins, no flank steaks or anything similar. I enjoy beef short ribs because you get rich broth out of them. And the meat is very tasty too. I will put them on the grill and BBQ as I would pork ribs and a rich BBQ sauce. But never a steak or even a hamburger.
Well done. That has 2 meanings, 1, I like mine well done and 2, well done on the spices.
that's all I need.
 
Wow, with all of you guys falling and getting knee replacements, back operations, rotator cuff replacements, foot operations and then talking about cuts of meats and grilling steaks and other meats, it makes me wonder where this meat is coming from.

You guys be careful out there.

Man, that's bad. Sorry for your state of health & pain.
 
I'm getting around ok after my joints all locked up for a while last night. 2 days of soreness after turning the ankles and digging a 20ft ditch down to 3ft. Rain filled it back in a bit, so round 2 starting Thursday or so. Will move 2 tons of rock by hand before that's done

If I'm not in better shape after, I'll be in worse shape for sure
Sounds like about a grave's worth of digging.

I worked with my dad on a dairy farm for over 30 years. We fattened Holstein steers for our beef. Looking back, that’s probably the reason I always make a sauce for and marinate steaks. The first non farm raised steak I ever had was in Bowling Green Ky. , can’t remember what restaurant. Took my fiancée out to eat and damn near choked on the first bite it was so dry. So I sauce em up.
 
About my rotator cuff surgery, true story. Dr. Alan Anderson did mine in Nashville (he tragically died in a chainsaw accident) he was a huge Tennessee Vols fan and we had some discussion about UK and tennorsee sports. So he tells me I am going to sew you together inside your shoulder with blue thread, I said that would be great, I get the photos of where it is sewed up and guess what color I have, ORANGE!!! I ask him about it and he just smiled!
Richard Anderson was the guy who played Oscar Goldman in the 6 Million Dollar Man the man who had Steve repaired. Coincidence? ;)

Only really remember having steak one time in the military mess hall. Graduation ceremony from Jungle Training School. Steak and Lobster. Was my first lobster ever.
When I was in the Army Lady Bird Johnson, wife of President Johnson did our menu. She was a Texan in cattle country and we had plenty of beef on the menu. I would guess we had steaks 2 to 3 times a month, maybe more often. Usually on Saturday or Sunday.

Another thing about Army life. When the mess Sgt drew the meals it was for a full company. A lot of days and weekends we had folks on pass. Most of the Cadre went to Louisville on the weekends. Since they missed chow their food was thrown away and taken to some place to feed some animal or make dog food. For some reason it was not donated for human consumption.

I developed a very good relationship with the Mess Sgt and he gave me and a couple of my buddies food that was not used. We picked out what we wanted. I lived off base and would take sides of beef home, nice steaks and lots of seafood. Fish, shrimp, etc.

Four of us bought a huge deep freeze and put it in our apartment basement. The apartment had four units, two up and two down and we were all in the same company. We ate better than I have in my life and it didn't cost a dime.

That's pretty funny.

Good stories.

After visiting Fredericksburg a few years back, stopped at the Johnson Ranch Historical Park. I was surprised at how normal/average everything was. House was a big & rambling white frame, but nothing pretentious. Was added onto several times. Couldn't tour it at the time because Park Service was repairing as the structure was deteriorating & weak. The Johnsons' graves are in a family cemetery around a huge tree about a 1/2 MILE back of the house. Maybe 20-40 graves. Again, nothing pretentious. Headstones were large but reasonable. Surrounded by a 2' wall or so. Anyone could walk in as not guarded. But folks were respectful.

I used to enjoy watching The Weather Channel...

Unfortunately it is nothing more than a MOUTHPIECE for the LIB Leftist.

Yeah, I know, they've been that way for a while now but I just got around to posting my opinion.

Sorry Steph... but I prefer to get my weather news from...

Something stirring in my equatorial region making me hot. Must be the weather girl...I mean the weather. Steph ain't bad but, if she is a liberal perhaps we need to seed her clouded mind and let some sun light in.
 
Nice to have you back cordmaker, I am up with you on Matthew 11.

Well I came a hair of joining you on the disabled list. I was working in the yard a few minutes ago doing some trimming with my weed wacker. I tripped over a metal object and went head first towards a concrete edge I have that separates a flower bed from the lawn. 5 years ago there is no way that would have happened. But this is not 5 years ago. My head barely missed it. Close call.
I started an addition to my pigeon loft back in the spring.....about six weeks ago I finally got around to sheathing the roof and putting some roofing on it......I fell off the rood.....I got lucky and fell into some tall Pampas Grass........it still shook me pretty good as it is a little over 9' foot off of the ground.........I banged up my right shoulder and elbow......I laid there a few minutes and the first thought I had was that I am too old for these kinds of shenanigans....some how or another it has slowed me down a notch or two.......I ain't hurting anywhere besides my normal aches...but I guess it just aged me some.......made my mind get in sync with my broken down body......

Unfortunately she pumps man-made global warming pretty much every day...Hurricane during hurricane season...Global Warming...

Is the equatorial region just below the roof over the neverlands? If so, I can’t see it. But it feels strange after viewing the above posts. Very strange indeed. Maybe I should check a mirror.
