Isn't Winter where the group performed that done the tricks on water skis? Back in the 50's & 60's.....your post almost activated a memory bank........as you can see by my post, I said...almost.........
Cypress Gardens was where the water ski shows were performed. It is now Lego Land.

Winter is the name of a Dolphin that was rescued from the Atlantic waters and taken to Clearwater for rehab. The dolphin, Winter was caught in a crab trap and crabs chewed off her tail. She was near death when they brought her to Clearwater Beach and once she was out of danger of dying a prosthesis in the form of a fake tail was made.

She is now functional but can not be released back into the Gulf waters. The prosthesis is like an artificial leg you see on war casualties. She is a favorite of the children who know her from the movie. Dolphin Tales which is her life story.

BBUK said “can tick bites on dangle berries happen”? Still trying to decipher the other two.

Blame Google... 😅 (I can say it as I used it a lot, but I cannot spell it...) I asked for many a dark beer in Germany and said please every time! (I still remember vividly that you could hold that head of foam in your hand for a bit before it melted through. That darned dark beer was near being bread!)
 
Happy lunch time fellas
Yearly check up w/Dr. today, she's rescheduled me 3 times already.
My son asked if I would play in his Fantasy Football league with his buddies. Guess who's 6-1 and in first place. I am trash talkin the sh!t out of them. I've just been lucky, but they don't need to know that...
Nice day today, next 3-4 are forecasted to suck.
Speakin' of suckin'....I miss ymmot. Anybody heard anything outta him?

You are long and lean. But that does not scare me at all!

A friend of mine sent me this photo of a black coyote he shot. We seldom see black coyotes around here. He took it to a taxidermist to have it mounted.

Coyotes are another animal that is always open season here. Wild hogs are another

I'd have had a hard time pulling the trigger on that black coyote. It looks too much like something that should have a collar, tags, and go by the name of Rex or Rover.
 
I would give y'all a big 'ol 👍 if I knew what your were talking about.
Basically BBUK wanted a dark beer. I told him he had to give me money. Austin said my money was no good (worthless). I told him all of our money was the same (American) so if mine was worthless so was his. Basically and roughly translated.

Below: I lived in Germany for 8 years with the US armed forces. 3 different times. November 1976 to July 1979, February 1984 to May 1987, and February 1993 to February 1995. I am not fluent in German but, I understand a lot.

I habe in Deutchland fur 8 jahre total gewonnt auf der US militars. Drie mal war es. November 1976 bis Juli 1979, Februar 1984 bis Mai 1987, und Februar 1993 bis Februar 1995. Ich bin nicht fliessend auf Deutch aber, verstehe ich viel.
 
Look familiar @AustinTXCat @BBUK? These lay on the end table of my couch. I have a couple more just in case I decide to get a little practice in.



I honestly may have barfed on some like that. I had a couple days before I had to work and I sure over did it when I arrived. I met a few guys I was in basic with and they "escorted" me around....Beer and wine never missed well with me... (I know I told more than you asked but...)

All I knew how to do was ask for what I wanted to drink...
 
Just for you




Name this fish. It is delicious

Darcizzle sures know how to entertain. This gator hunting darling is just awesome fun.




I've got spaghetti sauce simmering for later. It's been on for about an hour and a half and the house smells Italian.
That was a great idea.
Wasn't flipper a porpoise rather than a dolphin? Lol. I'm feeling a bit like I'm crazy, but I'd swear that was true
Dolphins are interesting creatures. I donot know if this "Flipper" exhibits a display of dominance, a trans-species psychiatic disorder resulting from PTSD or just getting even. But I now know I've seen enough to not trust one of these things.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and cloudy. We're under severe thunderstorm watch. Front moving in. Stronger winds coming. Pup will start going crazy here in a few from all the booming and banging. Temperatures probably dipping down near lower 60s before climbing into upper 70s a bit later.

Braves beat Astros last night, 6-2. I watched first four innings. ATL looked good, but also lost starting pitcher, Charlie Morton, to a comebacker (right fibula fracture). Morton actually pitched really well the next inning.

Happy Hump Day.

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

Well almost a beer.
 
As I was enjoying the Alan Parson's song the Director informed me that she desired a stereo system.......we have a new turn table in the box still........I need to get what ever I need to complete a stereo........amplifier, receiver and speakers..........I can sit and discuss playing music for days.......when it comes to stereo equipment the knowledge that I have.........wouldn't blow a thimble off of my head if it was gunpowder........I have seen discusions on here that appear to be about stereo equipment but looks like mostly a foreign language to me............will $1K buy me a nice set up or do I need to dig another jar up.......also........................................................................................I NEED HELP! Can someone give me some recommendations on what to buy...........willing to buy lunch to discuss if you are in the Louisville area........
Don't know If you were serious or not but I thought about you when I was snooping around Newegg and said self, Wow! Nice Value Klipsch

Since you insisted...

Some pics of The Castle on the Cumberland. Considered one of most haunted places in Ky.
Don't remember why I quoted this
My bro' told me the other day where he had read an article where those freighter ships are running out of food. Told him that's bad but should be no big deal...fill a small ship with food and take it out there. But he said the article said that some of these ship owners are losing so much money that they can't even do that. I find that hard to believe in that some of these shipping companies are huge...but maybe there's a couple smaller ones who are running on the edge so to speak (as a lot of companies do) and can't even do that.
Also, that many of the crew members are not being paid and are leaving the ships when/how they can.

But no worries...we have Joe and Pete in charge of things.
The shortages are a good thing. It shows we have demand. Joe said so.
Good morning D League. It got down to 35 degrees in suburban Ashland last night as we had out first frost. Doesn't look like we will have any more for the next 8-9 days. Saw where Klobuchar wants to give Prince a Medal of Freedom because he "made our lives cooler." I didn't realize that was a criteria. Since it is, I am going to nominate Bert for one. Everyone have a great day.
Here's the plan. Let's have a war on drugs, but if someone dies doing illegal drugs, let's lionize them! Why? Because of science!

Good morning, D-L!

A bit nippy out there in the Bluegrass. Foggy bottoms and frosted tops until the sun got to it a little while ago. Ran an early errand and just got back. Gonna do some work around the house today. Gonna add some insulation and find a cold beer at lunch... No idea why that's on my mind.

Isn't Klobuchar the one whose husband had the covid and was treated with hcq. "Saved his life" iirc was the quote. In spite of that, she ridiculed the president for taking it. Piece of work that one.

I'm interested in a bill that would lock up politicians and judges that lie, demonstrate hypocrisy, and sponsor or pass anythingthat violates the constitution or rule on anything against constitutional mandates. Instant revocation of their seats and new elections with appointments that must be ratified by the people.

No more excuses. When there are that many weeds in a field, it might just as well be bushhogged and plowed under. Start over again in the spring
If only our founding fathers had thought to make the government, of the people, by the people, for the people. We could do something about it.
Last time I went to WDW was 20 years or so ago. With the "woke" bs, don't plan on going back. Used to be you could go at certain times of the year and crowds weren't bad. You just had to do research on the best times to go. We went one year and just missed by a few days being there during some kind of gay awareness week. Lots of people were real upset as they didn't let the general public in on it. I'd of been pissed if we were there that week. I think several church groups were there and they tried to make a stink about it. Apparently it didn't phase Disney.
A girlfriend and I went to Kings Island one time and it was gay day. We didn't know until we got there. Bunch of people, mostly dudes, wearing pink shirts. We had a blast that day and didn't really have to wait in line for anything.

See below
I think that was Cypress Gardens, in Winter Haven. We went there in 1976.
I was there in 68
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 57°F and clear with 47% humidity. Today's high expected around 77°F. Is fall finally here again? Stay tuned. Should make for a nice morning walk

Wildcat volleyball swept #21 Volunteers 3-0 last night in Knoxville. Go Cats!

Braves got pounded in 2nd inning last night by Astros in World Series, lost 7-2. Bah!

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

Good Morning, D-League!

Gorgeous pink, purple, and violet sunrise before the weather turns violent. Going to feel my share of the storms today as I take some brush to the landfill (closed on Wednesdays, the most beautiful day of this week of course). Hope it stays in the truck ok.

Hearing from my peeps in other states that the hospitals are seeing tons of side effect cases from the pokes. Blood clots, heart issues, nerve issues, etc. Seems the boosters (they said no one would need) might be worse than the initial doses (that they now say they "couldn't tell were safe unless they started giving them to people").

Our Father in heaven will hold them accountable for what they've done to so many with their lies. I'm praying the first round of justice for them occurs here and before too long. They are criminals. No two ways around it. This country will be held accountable for its lack of justice in these and other matters. I hope the people don't pay the steep price the gov planned for them.

Thankful that y'all have made it through this so far, and praying you make it through the rest with minimal discomfort! A friend of mine posted something I will share later that gave me hope this morning.

Back to work for me! Have a great day!
 
D-League,
Hey, good morning, I hope everyone is doing well.

It's a cloudy, rainy, windy morning around here; my thermometer says 59 degrees. I went for a walk around my neighborhood this morning, like I do each morning at 5:30am, and some of the wind gusts nearly toppled me over, trees bending sideways. I guess that big storm system is passing through today and we're getting some of it. It looks like Fall has arrived for good.

I'm going up to Lexington this weekend to see family and to attend a wedding Saturday afternoon and evening, which means I'll miss a lot of the good football games. Oh well, I'll just have to read about them later on.

I"m a little bit bummed to see the Braves go down last night, the World Series is now 1-1, with ATL missing two of their best pitchers and the best overall superstar MLB all-world Ronald Acuna. All of them out with injuries. Can the Braves overcome this and win?

Bible study wise, I'm now going through Mark and doing an in-depth, verse-by-verse study of Colossians.

Who in Lexington gets married on game day? It has to be a non football fan.
 
Yeah, I knowf that's right! I might have to use the streaming app on my phone, turn the volume down, and watch it discretely that way.
Good idea. That is why they invented an app for our phone. I did that during a birthday party I attended in Nashville in September. It was a surprise party thrown for one of our cousins by her agent and publicity manager. The party was right during the UK game so I turned on my app for local Spectrum TV and didn't miss a thing. Her brother had it going on his phone too :p

Precisely why we got married in August and had to honeymoon before football season started... What are people thinkin? Lol

I've heard some folks are moving up their nuptials since the economy has gotten sketchy. Trying to avoid more shortages I guess.
