Evidently trash pick-up services are having a hard time finding people to work. This is the 3rd time in 5 weeks that Rumpke has failed to pick-up our yard waste. My Dad uses Waste Management and he's having the same problem. He called to complain and was told there's a labor shortage.

I read a blurb on WDRB a few days ago that said that, "43% of Kentuckians didn't want to go to work".......I used WMS for 40+ yrs......$147.50 every two months.......I called Hometown....same service $54 .........when I called WMS they said they could give me a senior discount.........yeah after charging me an exhorbant price for.........EVER.....
 
So why isn't this video available? It was running fine when I posted it.
The left is doing everyting in their power to make it look like Biden is doing a good job......even to the point of lying and hiding info that would make one think otherwise........they are not going to let the world see what kind of mess they created when they appointed him president......if they can help it....
 
Saturday night was the first night sleep since this all started the first week in September!!!! Slept from 9-6 felt great!!! I go to see my hip doctor in the morning in Owensboro, I am feeling better but just want to make sure everything is ok with my replacements.
Good news Cord.
Any of the D, on HOB? I saw a headline that said, out of surgery. One of our players?
A poster named bluejohnson. I assume he was talking about himself.
I will be there when I start training in the spring........as soon as the hawks quit chasing...........part of the reason I haven't posted here as much as I was is.....I purchased a GPS system that tracks my birds..........my wife says that I have become obsessed with the data I am gleaning from this project.....I have raised birds for..........many moons......I am learning some interesting things about these homing pigeons......
Good. Sherry and I look forward to that.

It is 68.5°F here and we are supposed to get up to 78° with no chance of rain. Last night around bedtime (by bed time) we got .02" of rain in a couple minutes of downpour.

Yesterday afternoon I mowed the yard and the wind must have averaged 15 mph. Over half of my wild cherry leaves are down already and the hackberry is 25 percent off. I am trying to get my yard cut a little shorter as they are coming to pressure seed it Thursday. I have problems with bermuda grass and since August I have been killing it and now I need the holes reseeded. This will be the fifth time that I have done this. The last time three years ago, I killed the complete yard but the crap keeps coming back, probably because of wind driven seeds.

@bertfan31 check your person conversation for my phone numbers.
 
I no longer have HOB

My sole focus is on YOU... (D-League)

Yeah, that's what that means.....

Take heart..... After a week or two I may contact Ole Justin and see if he has any deals... (I don't do merchandise deals.)
 
Man I am just a commoner again...


Sigh......

No HOB no more.... (NOW you're in for it...)
I did HOB for a year.......I don't have to be the first in line to get UK info......if it is worth knowing it will be on the internet or here for that matter...............I am at the age that I am eliminating anything that isn't needed.......no TV......and not much contact with the outside world beyond here..........I am OK with it......our government is forcing me into being a hermit.........and as long as I have contact on here I am OK with being a hermit also.......
 
Well my wife is deep into redecorating the inside of the house and has asked to be left alone. I like that. So I am going to eat something then head outside and do some fall and winter planting. Life is good.
I try to explain to the Director......I don't have to be involved in her projects......nor her mine........she was back at the loft trying to tell me how to build my loft......50+ yrs of construction........I can point to buildings downtown that have my finger prints on them.......she just got interested in the racing pigeons this summer while riding along when I train my birds................I raised canaries for 20+ yrs....most of that time I was trying to develop a white canary with a black top knot.....think Beatles style hair cut........after about 10-12 yrs I started to get there......I finally raised two like I was trying for.......excellent singers too.....I came home one day and she was so excited and pleased with herself......she had sold two canaries that afternoon.........the guy gave her $100 ea for them.....$50 was the going price.........I cringed when she told me which two she had sold.............since that time she has mostly stayed out of my hobbies/projects till here lately................
 
They won't let me like your video BBUK.....the censor police are every where.........while I am not religious the left is totally against religions.........religion gives a lot of people hope.......and they want people to despair and not have hope......it will make it easier for them to make the changes to our country they want.........
 
Good Tuesday morning D-League

We have a nice day ahead. It is 73° and the sun is coming up and we only have a 2% chance of rain. Our high should reach 84°.

I am selling a whole bunch of my gun collection to continue my down sizing. A couple of men are flying down from Ohio and will pick up two beautiful Henry Golden Boy rifles, one a .22 mag and the other a .45 caliber. And several other AR-15s and a few hand guns. Also 2,700 rounds of ammo. 1,200 rounds are Russian made 7.62 caliber which are getting nearly impossible to find. I am setting aside 11 rifles and pistols for home protection. I just don't have time to go to the range anymore or shoot in the woods.

I trust all are well and I read Matthew 19 and 20.

Keeping only 11 rifles and pistols for home protection? You're getting awfully bold in your twilight years.

I have been a premium member since they came up with it. I just like the gold badge.

I rarely go to HOB or any other site; however, I like to see what I want to see.
 
You guys are making me feel like a Bernie Sanders Progressive with my puny arsenal of a Remington .22 rifle, an Ithaca Model 37 12 gauge pump and a little Ruger 380 automatic I got back in the day when some people in the DC Government I was writing about were threatening me.

I have a few more guns at my dad's place in Kentucky, including a sweet L.C. Smith double barrel 12 gauge ideal for quail hunting in heavy brush. But I suppose if you can't lay hands on it, it doesn't count.

Good morning D-League. What a night. I stayed up to watch Bama lose. Crazy.

To answer the question posed above, the CBS football analyst predicts Kentucky will move up to #8. That'd be an amazing rise for the program.

On a sad note, I heard that 4-star Gen. Ray Odierno died last night at the too young age of 67. I got to know Gen. Odierno fairly well during the Iraq war, first in his role as CG of the 4th Infantry Division when the war started, and later as the theater commander in Iraq. I considered him the best of the American generals in that war -- more competent and engaged than Petraeus and less of a phony who courted the press for headlines.

Some of you may not know that Ray's son was badly injured early in the war, losing an arm to a rocket propelled grenade. We had private conversations about that, and I know how much that affected him.

I traveled with the 4th from Fort Hood to Kuwait, then into Iraq, through Baghdad, Taji, Balad, Tikrit and finally with a small task force up to Mosul in the spring of 2003. Gen. Odierno apparently thought I did a fair job covering his troops, because he personally presented me with his Challenge Coin, which I'm proud to have. SOme of you ex-service folks might be interested:
Condolenses for the loss of your friend.
For those wondering, I was searching through the guide for football replays of future opponents and found out that

UK Basketball Pro Day is on SEC Network at 530pm

Replay of the LSU victory at 11am tomorrow, same channel
Watched Pro Day. Helps me learn their faces and numbers.
31 days of horror movies here. Except game days of course. We'll be watching Freaks, a controversial film for its time (1932), people actually ran out of the theater. It was banned in the UK for 30 years. I love it.

https://listverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/9-schlitzie.jpg
Freaks is cultish fun. My cultish fav is probably "The Terror of Tiny Town" starring Billy Curtis.
I'm so disconnected from college hoops anymore that I have to guess what Pro Days are (Though sounds pretty obvious.). Never heard of them till now. And am fine with that.
Nebraska's Lets Go Brandon chant brought me back to collegiate football and I've never been a Husker fan before.
@Bert Higginbotha @wildcatdonf @Sawnee Cat @AustinTXCat @UK82 @_Rooster @Ben101er and anyone else that has my phone number...give me a call when you get a chance so I can put your number back in my phone. I wasn't able to retrieve ANYTHING from my last phone. Thanks!
Good excuse. Expect a call soon as I don't text, tweet or have an eye anything and still system rebuilding so I'll look you up. You in the impotent stuff near the middle of puter pile. 82 right there as well.
 
This is what you must do. My grandpa told me if a man has you down and is beating you to a pulp, just bite off his ear. There are no rules in street fighting or self protection. There just ain't
Came home crying to my Dad that Tony had beat me up. He got pissed and told me that if Tony was bigger than me then pick up a stick or a board and beat him with it. If Tony was smaller than me then I needed to learn to fight, but either way do not come to see him again about somebody beating me up. We were all around 12 and he was 16 and probably bigger than I ever became. He came back later and I ended up beating him pretty bad with a broomstick. His parents came to see my parents. He never came around anymore.
Not a big gumbo guy but, that looks good.
Dude, you are a picky eater. We all see it. Consider this an intervention. Errybody likes gumbo!
I am glad to hear you are getting better.......I wish that they could fix me but.........I spent my whole career thinking I had to work harder than anyone on the job.......it did get me to the top of he heap.......but the orthopedic surgeon told me I had abused myself and there wasn't anything he could do to help......

I have been the domestic around here for the last 20 yrs......I told the Director to not say anything to the ladies at work about my domestic abilities.........no need having strange women knocking on my door.......
It hasn't happened at my wife's new office yet, but at the old one whenever one of the ladies was having a birthday at work, they would request some kind of dessert and I would make it for them.

I wouldn't do their dishes or windows though!

They are going to have to pay better to get someone to do it. People have been given a taste of money for nothing, checks for free now and it will be hard to get them to go back to work.
Knowing about you I know we have had to have met at one time or another. Even if, in passing.
82 and I used to go to the same bars, concerts, Belvedere events, fireworks shows, Catholic picnics, state fairs, and I bet he was even there when they fired off that damn fountain. He probably spilled a beer on me at one time or another.

For some reason I just took to singing this song while I was composing this social media post to me E friends on the D!



I don't know how or why I know this song but I sang right along to it. Help me remember.

Know what you mean. All I have are hunting guns. But I have a basement full, and a few in my closet for the dumbass that decides to invade my house. Only one pistol, it’s the only gun I never learned to shoot well. But I can shoot the rest well enough that he ain’t getting to pistol range. I can remember multiple hunts from looking at each gun I own, and it always brings back good memories. I’ve never sold a gun in my life. Just couldn’t bear it honestly. They will go to my kids when I’m gone. And, although neither my son or daughter hunt anymore, they can both shoot a gnat off a dogs ass from long range. I made sure of that years ago.

Good stories Backer.
All this gun talk got me thinking of the best rifle I ever had -- for about three weeks.
In the first days of the Ground War during Desert Storm, February 1991, I was with a scout patrol of the Big Red One. Iraqis were surrendering in droves, and an Iraqi Captain walked up to me and handed me his AK-47. It was a beautiful weapon (see below) finely grained wood and a bayonet that flipped under when not in use. I fooled around and learned how to take it apart -- as I recall it only has something like 17 parts.

Anyway, I wanted to get it home. But the Saudis let it be known that anyone caught smuggling guns out of the country would go immediately to jail, and stay there indefinitely. I'd been overseas for seven months and couldn't bear the idea of being stuck in an Arab lock-up. Meanwhile, a network TV producer had let it be known he'd buy any battlefield guns -- they had a license from the Saudis to ship back tons of equipment unchecked.

So I sold it to the guy for $500 -- and still regret it. Would love to have it on my wall.

Yeah, guns make memories. My family history is all about hunting, fishing, shooting etc. I still have my grandfathers fish gig he made out of truck springs. I saw him gig thousands of fish with it, and wouldn’t take anything for it. Best times of my life enjoying the outdoors with family. And thanks for your service, by the way. Glad you made it home safely, so many didn’t.
 
I feel like I am inadequete with my poor little collection of guns........The Director bought me a Remmington 270 deer rifle for my birthday in 2011....I have never had the trigger lock off of it.........I bought a Springfield 9mm........I bought the Director a .380..............and I have a Gamo 1300 pellet gun for varmints.....that is the only gun I have fired.........I did purchase the Berna pepper spray gun for the Director and myself......sold my old JC Higgins 12 ga about 45 yrs ago......cold hard winter and needed money......I wish I had it back......

My wife doesn’t own a gun, per say, but, like my kids, I taught her how to shoot and hunt. And she is one of the best turkey hunters I’ve ever seen. So patient, and any Turkey within range is in a world of hurt. She grew up with 5 brothers who all hunted and shot guns. But they never let her do those things. So when we met, she jumped at the chance to join me, and she excelled at it. It’s really made our marriage stronger and more satisfying for 40 years. (I’ve turned into a bag of mush tonight, damn).

You wouldn't happen to know a guy named Robert Ludlum would you?
 
Good evening D, good report today, my doctor told me after a few x-rays that everything looks good with my hips, he thinks it's a muscle issue, told me give it another month.

So the doctor walks in today with his assistant, shakes hands with me and Mrs. M and says, your my patient that worked in explosives right I said yes sir, he turns to his assistant and says I told you so!!!!! Kind of make a fellow feel good that he remembers where I worked after all this time. As I was leaving, I said since you remember me, how many more do you have that worked with explosives, he said I was the only one I have ever met! I remember the first time I went to him, we talked for over 30 minutes about everything I did with my job before we ever got to what was wrong with me!!!!

Read 20!

Have I ever told you how much I hate crackheads!!!!! I ought to be a law that if you rent to them, you must live next to them!!!!!

Have a great evening D and Prayers for the D!!!!

Guns, I have 3 pistols, 380, 38 and a H&R 939 22.I know it's a cheap one but it a beautiful pistol with an odd shaped barrel. A Remington 222 that is a great varmint gun, Rem double barrel 20 and 12 gauged pump. I also have my DAD'S 22 rifle that is really old!!! I also have a brother that reloads everything!!!!
