D-League

[Girthang]

Good morning, D-League!

May you be blessed by God as you wade through the waste of watered-down and convoluted humanity. Keep your eyes on the prize, rather than this world, and give a lift to those who want to set themselves apart from this one to enter the world to come.

In the mortal words of Mr Mom-
"Bologna, abalone whatever it takes."

Name this fish. It is delicious

Seriously, though, is that some type of mahi?

Good morning D-League. It's currently 59° and rainy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring party cloudy skies and a high of 56°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

Lived in an area of Bad Krueznach Germany with similar type picturesque scenery. BK (as we called it) pictured below. Spent many hours on weekends at cafe's and shops there along with wineries and restaurants/bars.

We always and I still do refer to this as a dolphin but some time back the name was changed to Mahi-Mahi. I once asked a seafood restaurant manager why dolphin was mahi-mahi and he gave me a simple answer. He said it was because out of town visitors would not order dolphin from the menu because they thought they were eating Flipper.

I guess that is as good an explanation as any

Good morning D, read mark 6.

Another day, another step!!!

Our son and D-I-L wanted us to personally thank the D for the toast to JP! I was hesitant to take it beyond the D, but they are glad I did!!! When I told him we was going to toast JP at 7 that night, he wanted to know where he could go to watch us, just explained we were just a bunch of good old cyber friends that even though we don't know each other (well some do) we still care for each other and hurt when we hurt! There have been no telling how many toast to JP and numerous stories about him that has just made it wonderful!!! Thanks again D!!!!

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

Mine worked on S&M. Sure made a loud noise when the whistle blew.

At least two In-N-Out locations here in ATX. Usually grab take-out once every two months or so from Tech Ridge outlet. Fries are too thin, lack substance and under-cooked. Not just a CenTex phenomenon. Dined at In-N-Out San Diego while on company business back in 2005. Same skinny fries.

In-N-Out burgers are fantastic. Highly recommended. Their fries, however, can go to you know where.

I am also very picky about fast food fries and I do agree. I will go out of my way to get Five Guys French fries because they are cooked in peanut oil. We cook all our Southern cooking in peanut oil and use olive oil for the healthy meals we eat, if you can call them that. I also like peanut oil because it does not smoke. That is nice for cooking indoors

Probably was "Sandy" to eat as well as finding little cartilage "Bud's" in it.

Nope, depending on where that is Hawaii for instance, it would be called a wahine.

Good morning! Wife's birthday tomorrow and I haven't got her anything yet. I guess that's the plan for the day.

Volleyball, Football, and Basketball. UK has lost their last game this year! Buckle up!

High today 59° so I'm gonna say Fall has taken hold.

Good Morning from the Gulf Coast

Waking up to a nice morning with partly cloudy skies. We should have plenty of sunshine today. We have 74° at the moment and it will get up very close to 80°. Chance of rain is 2%.

My O' My do I love chicken fried steak. I mean i love, love, love it smothered in milk gravy and I cover the French fries in gravy too. That is what I do..

I trust all have a great day. Read Mark 6

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Did not know about the paper bag trick with ripening. Asked the wife moments ago and she seemed to know. I told her I thought paper bags were used for lunch and ugly dates.

On the daughter dating stories. Mine so far has been just one and she was 12 (15 now) as was the boy. We were over one of her friends house for Halloween picking up 4 other kids with one of the kids mother going as well for trick or treating. One boy was just jumping all over the house (not his) throwing kicks or so called (by him) Kung Fu moves eventually knocking over a lamp and breaking it. The man of the house was a retired Marine and was getting ready to fire him up when his wife got the kids out and calmed her husband down. As we were outside beginning walk for trick or treats the boy (Kung Fu guy) grabbed my daughters hand and said "Does he know?" She pulled her hand away so he came up to me and said: "We are dating" I said: "No you are not" He then said: "What do you call this?" I said: "Trick or Treating". My daughter was obviously embarrassed and tried to keep her distance as much as she could because she knew how I was about unruly children. Long story short, he was this way for a while until he did a jump kick into his friends groin area (son of mother with us) just missing the jewels when I stopped him. I told him that was enough and that he had no clue what he was doing. He then told me his dad taught him and he knew all about how to kill people and that his dad had a sword he taught him how to use and that he would slice me in the back with it and cut my spine in half where I would be paralyzed.

Enough is enough. I ask him where he lived and said he was going home or he can go alone the rest of the way for Halloween. We walked him home and when we get there, the lights were off. He rang the door bell and it was about 5 minutes or so before his parents came to open the door. They were asleep. Told me all I needed to know. Was not long after that that the boy was expelled from their school for bringing a large Rambo type knife in his back pack (not the first time we found out) threatening to stab some students. Found out my daughter might have been a target because she "broke up" with him after he would not let her speak to other boys and some girls there.

What I wanted to do was talk to his parents after that but, my wife talked me out of it.

Damn WC. That's some scary stuff for you and your family. I predict there'll be prison time in the future for that young man.

Dolphin was my first thought but I remember a friend who lived along the intercoastal had a picture with some and I thought called it mahi-mahi, which confused me.

Enjoyed Bad Kreuznach for "Fackelschwimmen" (torch swimming) back in October, 1984. 2015 video below. Nahe River water is cold when wearing a wetsuit. Not so bad in a drysuit. Believe it or not, I spent 4 years at Baumholder (1992-1996) and visited BK perhaps just twice.

Mahi Mahi is certainly a correct answer now due to the name change. But old timers still refer to it as dolphin. Not to be confused with Flipper

The other day we were discussing global warming and CO2 levels. I found this chart which show simplistically that there is not a lot of facts to support the "science". We are not even close to the Medieval Warming, Roman Warming or Minoan Warming periods.

It is important to remember that during the Medieval Warming period the Vikings settle in Greenland. We are far far away from that period of warmth. Plus the world did not end because of those warming periods. We are being sold a bill of goods.

Then we were there 2 years at the same time. I was with 1st AD G-3 training from Feb 93-Feb 95. Did a few warfighters in Baumholder working the DTAC/DTOC. Spent a lot of time in Hohenfels and Graf since our section kept an operations HQ there year round because we had to have it there whenever units were there training which was all year round given the number of units in a division.

When I was there in BK those two years, I participated in boat jousting which they had been doing for years (not sure how long) and the winner goes to the next level until reaching the European championships if they keep winning. The Kontact Club which I was a part of had a team every year with Germans and Americans together. Knew we would not win because we were always rookies going against organized jousting teams from local businesses but, it was just for fun for us. A lot of beer and wine was involved as well. The jousting staff looked like a giant Qtip or pugil stick. 8 men teams with one on the bow (the jouster) one on the stern (for balance) and 6 rowers. Single elimination. Your jouster falls off into the water and you lose.

Mahi Mahi is certainly a correct answer now due to the name change. But old timers still refer to it as dolphin. Not to be confused with Flipper

That fish has had a long, complicated naming process. As Sawnee says, it used to be called dolphin. We used to catch them when I lived in Florida and worked for a guy who had a good-sized fishing boat. Terrific eating cooked fresh: firm, tender white meat. And a good fish to battle into the boat.

While I was in Florida - 1977-78 - the name changed to Dorado, to differentiate them from flipper and other bottle-nosed mammals. So, we called them dorado during my days in Florida. Later, on a return visit, I first heard them called Mahi Mahi, which is Hawaiian for "strong" denoting how well they fought when you hooked one.

By the way, that is a fetching young woman. But she seems to be holding about 70 pounds of fish straight out without flexing her muscles. I would handle any courtship with her very delicately.

I was thinking the very same thing earlier about how she was holding those fish. Not sure the picture is totally real.

Also thought about the earlier post about what kind of fish they were. Thought about commenting that it was Hooters and the Blow Fish. But, decided against it.

Leaving out in a few minutes to play Mr. Miyagi again. People enjoy the day.

It’s 52 degrees as I type this. At 2:00 “real time”, as Bert says. Dug out my insulated coveralls, built a fire in the fireplace, and started a pot of soup. I’m preparing to hibernate. Weatherman says we may get frost tonight. But that’s the same weatherman that gave 0 percent chance of rain today and I woke up to rain this morning.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

My wife just asked me if I would like some fried green tomatoes for supper. That was an easy answer. I doubt I have ever turned down fried green tomatoes.

 

[Backer cutter]

I actually pondered on that for supper tonight. My wife loves them, I eat them but don’t really crave them like she does. May cook some tomorrow night. I pulled what we had a couple days ago, saving from impending frost.

Good afternoon! Picked up a few things for my wife. Watch was the most expensive thing because everything else is a decoy. Won't be long I'll have to go through this same deal again for Christmas. Maybe I'll get her a couple of watch batteries and call it a season.

I've got spaghetti sauce simmering for later. It's been on for about an hour and a half and the house smells Italian. Tomorrow I'll bake her a cake and I would say her requested meal will be a steak and tater. She likes yellow cake with chocolate icing out of the can. Pretty simple task. I'm capable of much more.

Had a minor accident today followed less than a minute later by almost a major accident. Driving along 2 lane highway and someone's plastic trash can blew out in the road right in front of me. Traffic was coming toward me so I couldn't swerve. Hit the brakes and the can at about the same time. It went flying across their front yard. I bet it leaks now.

Right after that I come around a blind curve and a car was just sitting there stopped behind a school bus. Locked the rear wheels up and had a hell of a ride. Get him woahed down though with a couple of feet to spare.

Garbage can left no visible damage to the front of the truck. All's well that ends well.

if they are far enough along and started to star on the bottom you can wrap them in newspaper and they will keep for a few weeks......when you are ready to eat them take the paper off of them and sit them in a sunny window....they will ripen up........
