Black bears have been sighted in and around the Louisville area the last two or three years......I think Prospect was the last sighting I read about. It wasn't that many years ago that I read that they were moving back into E. Kentucky........
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
The thing about retirement you have to learn is........break time last longer and you get many more of them.........my breaks work out to about 60% of my work day.........I know that is paltry percentage......I am working on getting it up to the 75% range........
While I do eat beef I am not a big beef fan........I like ground beef but I would be OK with never eating a steak.........I would pick the dumplings over the steak........except....I would be using either duck, rabbit or squab to flavor the dumplings.........
Good Friday Morning D League
Football weekend is about to begin. High schools tonight and Big Saturday tomorrow.. I have the SEC Network on and they are hyping the Cats vs. LSU. It is going to be big and I hope the Cats rise to the moment. It is important.
And now to the weather. We will have a pleasant day, it is 68° and the sun is coming up. We have a 65% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon with a high of 84°
I have a few citrus trees to spray this morning and maybe detail my truck. I am just going to hang around and get ready for some football. Speaking of black bears one climb a neighbors tree a couple of years ago and fell out with a thud. We actually have ?bear huntin' season" down here. Of course there is a limit as to how many tags the state issues. I doubt I will do any hunting in the future but it would have been nice to give it try back in the day. I keep this posted in my garage.
Y'all take care

Morning Legionnaires!
Today's weather is going to be mid to upper 90's with tomorrow going to possibly be record breaking for this time of year. Once again, I need my cooler weather.
Praying for those animals with the problems here. They are part of the family after all. No matter how annoying they can be sometimes. 4 Dogs and 3 cats at my house does sometimes grate on me but, for the most part they are more of a blessing than a hinderance. It is only when they all want attention at the same time that it gets bothersome.
Looking forward to the game this weekend. Will probably go fishing tomorrow or Sunday morning. With the weather still being hot it will be short lived.
Much like my dog........he is a good dog.......now all I have to figure out is.....what is he good for.......
I have to fight off the couch potato urge. This morning after working out (missed yesterday due to laziness) I will dust and clean (vacuum) the house. One more grass cutting for the year is coming but, I am waiting to make sure that is so.
awf:
"While I do eat beef I am not a big beef fan........I like ground beef but I would be OK with never eating a steak.........I would pick the dumplings over the steak........except....I would be using either duck, rabbit or squab to flavor the dumplings........."
Never been a steak guy myself, did not have many growing up. Had a few out at restaurants but, when I order them and ask for well done they generally don't com back well done. My wife and daughter like them and eat them when they can. With prices going up as much as they are I doubt they will eat too many in the future.
There is a pair of Bald Eagles that hunt a lake about a half mile from me.....they are always sitting in the trees around there.......and Sir......you need to use some asterisks when you us that s***e word around me....😬
Chicken and dumplings are one of those foods that once you get a craving for them it has to be filled. Yesterday my wife came home and said let's go to Cracker Barrel and get some chicken and dumplings. I said why? You make them better than Cracker Barrel could dream of doing. So how about it. She got out the pot, rolled out some dough and in a matter of minutes a big steaming pot was ready to dig into.
I am watching the SEC Network right now and they are featuring Boudin. Might throw a couple on the grill pretty soon.
For ya'll who crave some good dumplings.......look up this video on FaceBook......Hoyt Tidwell's chicken and dumplings........they are just like grandma's..........fool proof......I make them..........simple......and again........I make them......
After reading this post the first time I had to re-read it in Johnny Weismuller's Tarzan voice. 😁
Good morning D-League. Back to the normal world. Lots of work piled up.
But it’s Friday. So, an easy reentry to reality. I hope everyone has a great day and a fun weekend ahead.

Boudin looks good there. One of my co-worker I shared an office with is fromLafayette, LA and used to bring this and other cajun style meals to us to feast on throughout the day. He made it all himself at his house and, man, he could do a feast like no other.Chicken and dumplings are one of those foods that once you get a craving for them it has to be filled.

D-League,
Good morning everyone out there; I hope you're doing well. It's 68 degrees outside, muggy, sticky, humid air along with fog and clouds. After getting deluged yet again with tons of rain over the last few days. Good news is that, for the next several days, we are supposed to be rain-free. While others are praying for rain, I am praying for DRY weather. High temps in the low 80s. It really doesn't cool off around here until November. With all the rain and humidity, my yard needs mowing in the most terrible way.
I'm expecting the UK football cats to have a tough game tomorrow night. LSU will be playing desperate football with Coach O fighting to save his job; well, that's what Paul Finebaum and some of his famous callers are saying. It still puzzles me how a coach can win a championship two years ago, then the masses are calling for his head just a couple years later. Some folks just have no patience at all and act entitled. Chill out, it's just a game (to me it is anyway)/
Who else is watching the MLB playoffs!!!!!!???? Tampa Bay took down Boston last night in game one and Houston Astros won big against the White Sox. Now, today, this Braves take on the Brewers along with LA Dodgers/San Fran Giants.
Intesting stat about the young, future star of the Tampa Bay Rays, 20- year old Wander Franco. He reached base in 43 consecutive games, passing Mickey Mantle's 36 game mark and tying Frank Robinson for consective games reaching base for 20 year old or younger players. Crazy, isn't it? That guy is fun to watch and a true "gamer" for the Rays.
You all have a nice day; make the best of it in this crazy world we live in that growing darker by the day. Trust God and acknowedge Him in all your ways and he'll make your path straight.

Ah Cajun food. Does it get any better? This is LSU weekend so Cajun is mandatory. We have several little Cajun places around here and one has a "food trailer" that pops up all over the county. This is the menu. I always walk out with some boudin for $6.25
From that menu, for lunch, I'll take the Louisiana Cajun Fried Fish with sides of boiled potato and fried corn.... Then, later on, for supper time and ballgame time, I'll take Mom's Famous Gumbo and an order to Boudin; thrown in a few Beignets also.Ah Cajun food. Does it get any better?

My Cards are gone. Since the post mentions Mantle, etc, I can't pass up a short Stan Musial story. Stan was a young guy just called up from the minors in a day when there was no protective equipment or rules to protect hitters. The Dodgers had a pitcher named Van Mungo who was noted for his fastball and headhunting tendencies. Van's first two pitches were head high and tight. Stan lined the third pitch in the gap for a triple. As the ump cleaned off home plate, he called out to Mungo, "Hey Van, you sure scared the hell out of that kid, didn't you?"
This was my school days. 1949 to 1961. The girls passed notes and if they got caught the teacher would bring them to the front of the class and make them read it. Out loud.
The key to eating steak is to chew it up before you attempt to swallow it. When chewed properly, the steak transforms into ground beef. Presto!
Didn't get a chance to get caught up because now I'm running late. I shouldn't have agreed to play this morning because I have to play both days this weekend. I don't have a phone or I would have called him yesterday and cancelled.
Have a good day!
We're dealing with this right now. Lots of pain. She's whining. Can't blame her. Bone was broken, Not an torn ACL as previously suspected. Her and pit bull next door often got into bark fests through the fence. Pup overextended herself. Chasing birds was the breaking point, so to speak.
Better than knee joint reconstruction at least. Our pup was out 6mos when we had it done
Good morning, D-L!
Done with regular chores. Need to go pick out a new phone and run some errands before I meet friends to get a san'wich for lunch. Smoked prime rib or smoked brisket? Every few weeks I get to choose and it's difficult every time.
Cats should be able to run on the Tigers. Watched LSU play a couple games and their run defense wasn't as strong as I'd expect from them. Pass defense was pretty strong, good pressure from the DL, but the teams I watched them play didn't run the ball well, so no idea if that DL can get pressure while worrying about the run.
Defensively, the Tigers pass extremely well. They have the receivers you'd expect them to have. Tall fast and good after the catch. Their quick passing game is better than most we'll face this year. If we're soft they can turn those short passes into big plays. I hope the D is ready and rebounded from the emotional vic last week.
We need to stay healthy if any of this is to matter long term. Keep our QB off the turf, and keep their D on its heels. Get the ball out quick when we do throw. I hope CRod runs for over 200 the way Moe ran on them the first game I saw him at CWS.
Gotta get back to good-for-nothin status. Have a great day!

For that lunch san'wich, I'd go with the brisket. Other than that, I hope you're right about the LSU game. I'm firmly persuaded that UK has what it takes to get the "W" and have a solid back to back victory; UF and LSU would be pretty sweet for our season.
I was watching until the Cards got put out. One thing I noticed that I did not know, I did not know that the umpires checked the pitchers for foreign substance after they leave the mound!!!!!
That smoked mullet don't taste like hair does it, asking for a friend.Ah Cajun food. Does it get any better? This is LSU weekend so Cajun is mandatory.

Good morning D, read Matthew 16 this morning.
Pt going good. My friend, the owner of the place started asking me questions about my leg last Friday, then started putting his thumb on a place and started pushing really hard, what ever he did changed the way my leg has felt every since, I feel like i am almost there!!!
I don't think I have seen any predictions of the score of the game Saturday, Mine is UK 24-LSU 18.
I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!
Going to try and piddle around today without over doing it!!! My boss has laid down the law!!!! But she's not here! Just like eating something your not supposed to, if nobody's around it didn't count!!!
Speaking of that, I have this weakness for Munchos Chips, I have to be careful because I could eat a whole bag of them if I am not careful!!!!!

Funny you mentioned smoked mullet. I bet 90% of America have never heard of smoked mullet but of all the foods I have mentioned today, I pick the mullet.
I read Matthew 16
Same thing as Shad, right!!!LOL
Maybe a little similar. Mullet swim in schools and are vegetarians. You don't fish for them with bait and a line. They will not strike so you have to use a cast net. They also have gizzards like a chicken. The meat is oily like a mackerel and this is why they make good smokers. But fried mullet was my mothers favorite fish and probably mine too. Catfish is a close second. Mullet also produces some very delicious roe.
Proud to see UK athletes everywhere, watching some ladies golf in New Jersey, young lady from UK playing in it!
I was eating a steak in a steakhouse about 40 years ago and began choking on a piece. My wife saw what was happening and went into the next room where some firefighters were sitting at a table. She is not an outgoing person and meekly went up to their table and said "Excuse me. My husband is choking in the next room. Could any of you please help?" In the meantime I was up pacing in the next room. Somehow, the piece of steak flew out of my mouth and plopped onto the floor. My only thought during this big crisis was, "What an embarrassing way to die." I have always been careful to cut my steak into very small bites and chew it well since then.
Day 2. She's in much better spirits today. Painkillers work great.
Mullet and snails are in the same basket as far as I am concerned. I have tried a bunch and it is always bad.
Never a snail or mullet for me.
They started doing it this year, due to pitchers using Spider Tack to increase their spin rates on pitches. It was leading to increased velocity and movement on pitches.
Got to be smarter than what you are working on. That is from my Dad through me. (That mindset has served me well over the years. I am thankful.)
Speaking of meat. Went to the Commissary today and got a couple packs of Chuck Eye steaks. (About 10 to 12 pounds worth as the meat processor behind the counter packaged the meat for us.) They don't even put the Chuck Eye steak out now, you have to ask for it. It is a delicacy. Any selling concern wants to sell their other more expensive product first so I am happy the way they are doing it.
Speaking of biscuits, I am liking my once a week biscuit baking cadence. It has worked well except for a couple weeks ago. Actually got some whole buttermilk at the commissary today! (Anxious to see how it changes the bread in the AM if the Lord doesn't take me home.)
Speaking of Yuengling... I only have one of those in the fridge. Have not had time to consider drinking one for a few days. GAO came calling and I am assisting my leadership hard now. (They need me after all...) I need a 24 pack of Yuengling lager and a 12 pack or two of Yuengling Black and Tan (Walmart was out the last time I was there.). That lasts me a couple months at least.
Have a great evening and super weekend! Go CATS!
Sushi chicken gizzards are in the same basket as far as I am concerned. I have tried a bunch and it is always bad.
Never a sushi chicken gizzard for me.
FIFY Sir! 🤭 😁✌️
Yeah cheating is an acceptable way of life now. So many can look you dead in the eye and lie lie lie, cheat cheat cheat.... Show me a person who can be shamed and I will show you a decent person.

Love this video because the man understands. He fries the mullet gizzards the way all the Old Florida folks do. @BBUK
