D-League

[Bert Higginbotha]

It is a cool and cloudy 66.7°F. We are supposed to top out at 80°. 70% chance of rain. This has been a good year for crops around here. The farmers sure as hell are not complaining about global warming.

I am still juiced about the Cats win. I plan on watching the game again tonight.

The fair still has over 600 artists so I'm assuming it's doing well but what do I know. Not sure what the attendance was but since it was cancelled last year I'd guess quite high.

My daughter has a business where she re-purposes old furniture and paints signs.......she travels around to these shows and sells her stuff......they had a show at the Horse Park a few weeks ago.......she sold 15K of her products.....I haven't had a report on the last two shows but she said she done pretty good at them also......people are spending their money at the shows she goes to........this season she started out in San Antonio, Texas and goes somewhere just about every weekend........she has a shop and the whole fam damily pitches in.....she painted 4,000 signs to get ready for the weekend fair season.........

Trying to understand the football rankings is impossible. The Big Ten bias is simply outstanding. 5 teams in the top 11 and of those 5 Ohio State has a loss to Oregon and is ranked higher. Go figure?

Hello D league!

Heading into work shortly. Retirement sounds nice.....haha

Wife is taking cat to the vet. Acting very lethargic. Barely eating. He does drink water though. Quick Google search says its feline diabetes. Which is treatable. Hopefully it's nothing life threatening.


Carry on and behave d league!

God bless!

If I had a dog I would go with wheat germ... Last dog I had ran away though, I wonder why...

"In one of the more bizarre claims in newly released Ministry of Defence files, a man says he looked on 'gobsmacked' as aliens abducted his dog, ..."

Howdy D-League. Heading back into the Smokies as our week of vacation rolls along. We took a side trip to Dollywood yesterday. Lots of good stuff to see. If you like Bluegrass music, which I do, there was plenty of talented pickers to enjoy.

I've always been a fan of Dolly and still am. But she certainly has a healthy self-image. You couldn't walk five feet without seeing a t-shirt or coffee mug with her face on it for sale, or a little sign along the walkway quoting one of her observations about the best way to live your life. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. You'd have to have a hell of a strong ego to succeed the way she has.

Back into the mountains today. God was surely showing off when he made the Smokies.

My favorite Dolly quip. Dolly liked to wear tight clothes as a teenager. She said her mother used to tell her, "Dolly, you can't put ten pounds of taters in a five-pound sack."

My son was born before I had health insurance. I borrowed the money from Dad. It was $268 in 1967. It took me over a year to pay the boy off. But by 5 years later my daughter was born and it was several thousand.

I was born in a mining camp shack. That mining camp has been long gone for many years. I would like to know if a doctor or midwife was present but it is way too late to learn that.

I was born at home and had a doctor.

I was born a poor Black Child...

In the slums of Detroit...

 

[*CatinIL*]

I miss the earlier episodes but it got so political and lefy message-y late in the series that I was ready for it to go. Haven't watched it since, actually, unless it's the episodes or clips from them with Henry Blake.

I agree...Wayne Rogers was much better than Mike Farrell.

Wow. How did I forget about him? He WAS! I remember being so sad when he left the show. Mist have blocked it out. After that it was almost all Alan Alda's show and he was not my favorite, and especially too overpowering once Roger's left.

I was born in a pool room.(actually was a pool room turned doctors office).

But do you have a story! Have you ever written anyone a check for $1.09?

Or two pigs rasslin' in a tent.

I told several people over the years who disagreed with my verdict on their substandard work, "you might as well be rasslin with a pig in the mud, because sooner or later you're gonna realize the pig likes it".

Oh lordy pick a bale of hay

pick a bale a day

If I had to pick a bale of hay, I don't know what I'd do. Probably take the alfalfa though.

I love the saying and advice our grandparents gave us. My grandpa said to me "Johnny don't mess with an old man and make him mad.....he will kill you. What has he got to lose"

I listened to grandpa. That was one way of dying I struck from my list. If you see an old man with this on his Wrangler jeans, just walk on by

 

[vhcat70]

Agreed.

Hottest girls I ever dated were country girls. Least crazy, too. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldve definitely steered that way first and foremost.

they understand what fertilization is all about.

Depends on which side you're looking at. Could be a camel toe.

And it wasn’t just a saying, they meant it. I know, I’ve seen it happen. Don’t mess with what few old tough guys are left. They ARE tougher, and will prove it very quickly. Different breed than today’s “tough guys”.

 

[vhcat70]

Man, that was a good nap. Oh, Hi There! Now onto my Dry Riesling & salmon.

Only one side to view........, never mind. Rainy days etc. wandering minds. “Idol minds, are the Devils handy work, ohh, the trouble I get into”. Who’d a thunk it? Rainy days, not getting paid. But I digress, back to the subject: what was the question?

 

[bertfan31]

OK, listen up. It's 2021 and we humans are fairly advanced in a technological way. I'm not going to talk about us being in a regressive mode socially. What I want to talk about is the cloning of pets. If we can agree that nurture is more important than nature when we talk about individual animal personality, wouldn't it stand to reason that the clone would closely resemble the original in many ways? Provided it is raised in the same environment, in the same manner, I would think it would be a pretty cool imposter.

My wife is going to lose a cat in the near future. Might be a year but I doubt it. He's a very old dude and he came to meet us the day we moved in. He's a Maine Coon and about the coolest cat I've ever been around. I can't clone him but I'm thinking about getting her one. I think as far as cats go, they look pretty badass.

If we could clone our pets and have them spayed and neutered, we could also cut down on the number of strays.

Now that we've all accepted the cloning of pets, let's talk about people. It will happen eventually and be illegal until it becomes just unpopular. Then it will become accepted leading it to be thought of as normal. It will eventually become mandatory.

Rinse repeat for the next taboo.

Proud to have ridden this big wet rock through the cosmos with you guys all these years but, the wrong people are driving the bus and there's no telling when we're going in the ditch. But we are. Going in the ditch.

Sleep tight!

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

If folks accept cloning, then there will be no cells left in my body.

Geeze, I can't afford to be cloned everywhere! ! !

I walked to school in two feet of snow and it was uphill both ways. (The snow part was true.) I did sell food stamps two for one... My Mammy slapped me silly four ways to Sunday too...

@UK82 I've changed my mind about building an amp and preamp. I'm going to just purchase an NAD C328 instead. That should do me fine and it will be cheaper than what I was going solder together.

What I want to know though, is can I use that splitter you gave me to run two sets of speakers and one amp, rather than the two amps and one set of speakers written on it?

Y’all D leaguers have risen above my raising. Too much thinking, I don’t think I belong. Cloning anyone on here, I don’t know. Maybe Sawnee, as he’s older than earth and still going strong. But he lives on fantasy island. Who wouldn’t look good there? And Bert? You’re dreaming of clones of your likeness man. Everyone wants to be a retiree in Smiths Grove, right? Next stop, Belayre, or however it’s spelled.And, last but not least, BBUK. 😂. (Hope y’all know I’m joking). Mostly.

Totally agree about Rogers being better. I also liked Larry Linville better than David Ogden Stiers.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Radar was the only actor to be in both the movie and the tv show.

In the show, they made it a habit of trying to hide his left hand ( usually with a notepad), due to 3 fingers being abnormally short.

I agree.

 

[Girthang]

Both were so annoying as characters they nearly made me quit watching, but I agree that Linville was better as a great foil for the rest, especially early on.

Well we received not good news about our house kitty. His kidneys were shut down. They have put him on fluids to see if there is any change. The prognosis is not good. The odds of having to put him down are pretty good. He's eleven years old. I got pretty used to having him around the house. He was a package deal when I married the wife. Me and him had gotten pretty close and had many a conversation. I will definitely miss him. My wife is taking it pretty hard. The year 2020 took my grandmother and now almost a year apart 2021 is gonna take my kitty friend. Fall time is becoming my least favorite part of the year when it used to be my favorite.

Carry on D league......if you got furry friends give them an extra scratch on the head tonight and when they do something to annoy you tonight or tomorrow just let it go. Might not get the chance to do it the next day. Sure wish I had the extra chance to do so.

Is that the Mapletree model SP-1? If so then yes you can reverse the hook-up and run 2 sets of speakers with one amp. All speaker terminals on the back right? No RCA jacks? Better still, it's a switch not a splitter.

Speaking of M.A.S.H. I thought McLean Stevenson was much better than Harry Morgan.
