We still have our raccoon. He comes up on the front porch and eats every night. Some rogue raccoons showed up a few months ago but we chased them off. Two I chased off in cages to the golf course.

This one lives under my workshop near as I can tell. She used to take him food out there when she would feed the cats but he would make his way to the front porch anyway. We give him table scraps since we don't have an actual dog.

I'm doing the best I can.

I’m sure you are 🥴. Poor little raccoon. Bless you sir. Not an acorn or pawpaw to be found in recent years. Global warming and all.

I have two oak trees in the backyard that are each over 100' tall. Lots of acorns this year. I have a "you pick em" sale going on if you're interested in any.

Ha! I’ll donate my portion to the poor coons. No room in the freezer for acorns.

During my walk a few days ago I noticed that my dog was limping really badly. Turned out he had an acorn lodged between his toes.

Good morning D, read 21.

Was told to start walking some, but don't push it.

I hope the D has a great day, mine are getting better. Got a good 8 hours of sleep last night! prayers for the D!!!!

Good for you Cord!

Went in to see my heart doctor today for the first time in a couple of years.

This was his analysis, basically (in my words, not his)

It is like taking your 1918 Hupmobile in for service. It is still sputtering along but could use a new engine. But there ain't no new engines or parts available anymore. Just keep driving it until it won't drive any more.

He was bold enough to pencil me in for an appointment a year from now. I'll take it.

Best of luck. Yeah, take what you can get. They don’t always know.

And I would add, “and their offspring will expect the same handouts upon birth, creating a never ending cycle of racoons on your doorstep”. Alright If you’re into that sort of thing mind you.

Strange subject but why do they make square soap? Hard to maneuver before the edges round off.

Square soap in prison wouldn't be a good idea.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 70°F, wet and humid. Thunderstorms moved through our area last night and early this morning. Slight chance for more showers. Today's high may reach 85°F.

This day is still too young. I've got nothing else.

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

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 64° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will be mostly cloudy with a high of 83°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Morning D

I trust all are well and in good spirits. I am waking up with a good strong black cup of coffee and ready for the day. Life is good.

Our weather is a pleasant 72° and rain chances are 7%. The high will hit 83° with mostly sunny skies.

Well I got in late last night after attending the "Monkees Final Tour" concert and it was great. Watching a 75 year old Micky Dolenz and an 80 year old Michael Nesmith perform for 2 1/2 hours with the energy they have makes me want to hit the gym. It was a lot of fun and brought back some good times. The next concert I will be attending, Lord Willing, is Ricky Skaggs who comes in November. Now that is one I circled on my calendar over a year ago. I love me some Ricky Skaggs music.

So I will sign off with one more Monkees tune and bring down the curtain.

Morning Legionnaires!

Weather finally in the 50's during the night but will hit low 80's for a high. Going to go fishing later on today after playing Mr. Miyagi at 12:00-1:30. Need to catch some fish because the vegans are coming over on Saturday. Want to go fishing on Saturday afternoon to avoid being here but...The Game. May have to record it and go anyway. Wife and her mother generally get to arguing (many reasons) not long after she gets here these days and she (her mother) will then come into the living room and start talking to me about the game just to get away from her daughter. Wife and her brother stay in the dining room talking while her mother bothers the heck out of me while I am trying to watch the game. I don't know about you guys but, I hate it when some one tries to talk to me about the games while UK plays especially when I know this will be a hard one.

I am with you buddy. I don't want anybody messing with me during a game. I put my game face on and I ain't got time for that.

Good morning D-League. Man, this week is sailing by.

Another foggy, eerie morning in the east. Lots of work to do today so I’ll check in with you guys later.

They just did it better back then. What you saw was what you got. Natural

I have a friend who was born and raised near Petra. He now lives in Winston Salem, NC.

It is 67.6°F and sunny here on our way to 84%, no chance of rain.

My wife and I visited Petra in 2011. It was one of the most fabulous trips of our lifetime. It was amazing to look at the carvings in those mountains and to see the "dwellings" carved out half way up a mountain of rock. Oh and the camel ride was nice too.

I would recommend you go if you have he opportunity.

I echo that Sawnee. Thanks for posting that shot, 41102. I got to Petra in 1990 and in 1992. In the fall of 1990, Saddam's invasion of Kuwait had nearly wiped out tourism to Jordan, so I got to roam around without much of a crowd. Here's a head-on shot of the main temple I took with my little 'happy snap' camera. The camels in front are the ones that give the rides Sawnee mentioned, as I recall.

We actually rode horses through the narrow ravine with towering rock walls that twist and turn until you get to the entrance of the temple complex.

I saw a documentary on this place, but I don't remember showing anybody going inside, can you go inside of it?

Sure, the passage going inside is breath taking. It is a nice spectacular walk or you can hop on a donkey or camel. It truly is a Wonder of the World.

A place I've wanted to go for a long time, but more & more doubtful I'll make it.

Good morning D, beautiful day here but it's going to change tomorrow!!! Read 22.

Saw where a A&M fan killed a Alabama fan after an argument, Wow!

I am doing better, amazing what two weeks has done for me in therapy! Even got another good nights sleep!

Looking forward to Saturday's game.

Exercises done, folded clothes and getting ready to do the dishes, then walk a little bit, then done for the day!!!

I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!

One of the D was talking about Hummingbird plants, I started getting seeds off of it yesterday, there is going to be thousands of them, I give them away to people who want them!!! Ours had worlds of blooms on it, then the seed pods show up and in each pod there is 4-6 seeds in each one. We will have to keep them trimmed out next year or it will take over our deck!!!!

The last part of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is filmed at Petra -- the part where they find the "Holy Grail" etc.

In the last minute, Jones and his dad (Sean Connery) ride back through the narrow passage that you ride into the temple complex that during my visits you reached via horseback.

It's a classic "ride off into the sunset" ending.

I have 3 Fedoras of that style. One light brown, one dark brown, and one black. One of my favorite actors and characters.

Entrance into Petra is through a gorge almost a mile long. One you are inside it is a City of Stone. To get an in depth visit it will take at least a day. The best thing to do to describe the city is through YouTube. i don't have the words. If you have time take a look and enjoy.

Very impressive!!!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Just came back from the nursery to pick up some banana and bell pepper plants. Funny thing the lady said they had a run on vegetable plants due to the world panic for supplies. She then said not to worry because she gets all of her plants from a local grower that ships everywhere. He will take care of the local nursery so we should not have any problems. The stock clerk at Public told me the same thing.

I read Matthew 21

Just put 2 & 2 together. Niece is getting married Saturday at 4:30... Cats vs Georgia. SONUVA!

Oh well. hoping I'll be mad I have to miss it. ...I'll still check my phone occasionally.

It happens every time. I married after the NCAA tournament was over for a reason. Football season was a long way off.

My daughter's original wedding time would have been during the UK vs UL football game. We dropped it back 4 hours!

Me and my daughter. The guy on the left is Norman Lopez (a darned Florida fan), the guy on the right is my brother in law who was a guitar picking son of a gun.

Yep. Luckily, I married in May, no sports happening that I was interested in, back then. But my timing for having children was off. 30 and 35 years ago, my biggest passion was bow hunting for deer. Anyone who has ever deer hunted in Kentucky knows that is the time to be out hunting for big bucks. My son was born November 2nd 1990. My daughter was born November 2nd, 1995. Twins, 5 years apart. Best part is, my wife and I did the math and figured out they were both most likely conceived in Nashville. We used to take yearly trips to Opryland in the winter, and it was usually late January-early February when we did it. Uncanny.
