I made a big pot of pinto beans (seasoned with salt pork), a skillet of cornbread and a pan of fried taters (fried in lard) Saturday. They were the best I had made for a while. I finished them off yesterday. They got better each day. I'm the only one who will eat them. What can I say? I was raised in the hills.
Got one just like that. I make my “world famous” vegetable beef soup in it. I use 3 or sometimes 4 quarts of canned tomatoes and the same 3 or 4 lbs. of browned ground beef and then all kinds of vegetables and a couple of cans of rotel season salt, one onion and table spoon of sugar and black pepper. Cook for four hours or so. It’s better on the second day too!
 
It is none of my business, but when it comes to TV's I have a lot of experience. Probably bad advise because if you get it on my advise it will blow up in the first week, but I recommend Sony.

I have had 4 Sony flat screen TV's and bought two for my kids. They are good. The last four that I bought the best price was at Amazon.



* "Any use of this advise will be used against you in a court of law."

Sony replaced a tv for a guy I know. They had the tv 4.75 years. One of those old monstrosity size TVs from the mid 2000s. Almost 18" thick and 50+" or so. He was thinking maybe he could repair it, so he called a repair guy in Richmond, KY. The repair guy asked him the make, what was wrong, and then guessed what the TV looked like exactly as if he was looking over the guy's shoulder at it.

Said he'd attempted to repair a lot of those for Sony warranty services and that I should send the repair request through them. He called Sony and to his surprise they did send the service guy out at no charge, even though the refular warranty had been expired for a couple years. The circuit board needed to be replaced, but they didn't have them anymore.

Seems they had a recall and went through every last one of them. He was disappointed he couldn't fix it, but then the Sony rep asked him, "What kind of TV do you want?" Shocked, he asked how much it would cost him.

Sony ignored the question and asked if he wanted a 55" plasma (the kind they had previously) or a 40+" ___ (whatever the newer kind was then before OLED and such). He said he'd rather have the larger screen size, and the Sony guy said they'd send it out the next day.

No shipping. No fees. Just sent him a new TV. $969 TV. Because he had a "hunch" (what I called it) that he could fix it.

He always said it was God taking care of him and never to discount such "hunches" as pur own, but a gift of the spirit. So I try to do that and pay attention to them now.
 
The offensive player initiated the contact on the helmet to helmet.

There's been a TON of that lately and they never call it. That's how you know it's not a rule about player safety.

Also saw a ball carrier facemask a defender without a call in the 15min I got to watch the biffle yesterday. Flat out pulled the defender down to the ground by his grill to get the first down. Was glad to see that team didn't win after the refs blew that call and others to escort them into the end zone.

What WAS amazing was that Troy Aikman shut up anout the great stiff arm long enough to look at the screen and mention the facemask with some surprise. There is hope in the world after all.
 


Morning legionnaires!

New month and new week for our football and basketball team. Things will start ramping up now. A win against Tenn. would help soften the blow from Saturday and my Bengals yesterday.

One of my brothers B-day is today, another is 1 Dec and mine is 1 Aug. I have a sister who's is the 2nd of Jan. I guess my mother liked the first days of the month as delivery days. Only one is later on in the month and that is the 19th of Aug. If you did not know Jim Varney was dead and you saw the one who's birthday is today you would (if a fan) ask him for his autograph. They could almost be twins. Doppleganger?

That is something I have noticed about face mask, hands to the face, and targeting which happens all of the time. If it is initiated by the offense when running with the ball it is not called against them. It makes no sense. Just like the breaking the plane rule for touchdowns. Why not call a catch a non catch if the ball is caught after it breaks the out of bounds plane but both feet are in.
 
I may end up getting a Sony but if it is no good it will be all your fault.

I actually have six tvs in my house. Two of them are Sonys, older flat screens that I bought a couple of years ago at garage sales for $20 each. I loved that old plasma Panasonic though..

We have a Panasonic (and a Sony now), but they're not as nice as the newer screens and are having a hard time with some of the tech hooked up to them. Don't want a "smart" tv. Can you still by tvs that aren't smart tvs?

Exactly. It's just about money, cuz offense apparently equates to viewers and money. I'm a defense first kinda guy, because offense is easy. I just want my old game back...
 
Good Monday morning D-League

We woke up to 46° and clear here on "the Nature Coast. This afternoon we expect a high just short of 70 at° 68°. It is fall in Florida.

I ran into someone I had worked with back in the 1970's and started asking about some of my old coworkers and almost everyone of them had passed away. And I was older than half of them.. Some died in their 50's and 60's. The final chapters in my life are like an obituary page.

Well we got to experience what being a Kentucky football fan is like Saturday. Losing to an inferior team and not showing up ready to play ball. And we can not blame it on cow bells. It would have been nice to finish out the season with only one loss but it is not to be. I was listening to some pregame talk on the radio and they were making fun of Starkville and Mississippi in general. Calling it the worst spot on earth for football. Well it was funny then but not this morning after that worst spot on earth, in their words, kicked your ass. Who is laughing now Kentucky.,

I trust all have a great day and you enjoy the cool weather.

Good Morning D-League,

I'm tired after a hectic weekend. I drove up to Lexington for a big wedding bash; first time I'd been up there since May.

Now, for the local weather. It's currently 47 degrees on my thermomoeter with Sunny, clear, crisp skies, headed up to 68 degrees and a nice Fall day. I have one of those "Ambient" home weather stations with all my data linked to the Weather Underground network, so you, me, and anyone else that cares can view my current and past weather conditions from anywhere.

What happened to UK football the other night? I was at the above-mentioned wedding, so I missed it. I thought that we were supposed to go 11-1 this year and fans everywhere we upset because of the "lack of RESPECT" that the sports world was denying us. Next is the UT vols and we could be in for trouble. I believe that we will have to play like we did against UF or LSU in order to beat the vols......and hope that they make some mental errors/penalities against themselves. I hope I'm wrong.

Anyway, lots of crazy going on in the world, including that globalist UN conference featuring the pope francis and obumma as keynote speakers. From my understanding, they are unveiling the 7-year global plan, which is centered around the platform of Climate Change. It's pure evil and I wonder how much of this is setting the stage for the upcoming 7-year tribulation and anti-christ rule that we read about in the Bible (see Daniel, Revelation, and 1st---2nd Thessalonians for more details). If you haven't already, please admit you're a sinner and believe the gospel, good news of Jesus paying the penalty for your sins by his blood shed on the cross. See John 3:16.....1st Corinthians 15:1-4 Time is short.
 
Braves. Getting sleepy. Braves.
I was hoping that the Braves would close out that World Series win last night. that bullpen game plan didn't work out so well this time. I get why they do that, but it really is like Russian Roulette.

Now, it's back to Houston for the final game or two. Come on Braves, can't you just win 1 more?

I saw that the world is meeting on global warming. It is hard to take this serious when you wake up to 46° in Florida. What a joke and people buy into this. We are a stupid world.

Bring back Nuclear Power and tear down the wind mills and eat more Beef.
 
A cold 43°F and sunny here. Supposed to get to 59. Humidity is way down to 53%.

I went to bed last night and the score was 8-5. I was hoping Atlanta could pull it out.

You all have a good day. I have ball games to edit because I was lazy yesterday.
Bert, can you edit a win at Mississippi State for us. Much obliged
 
Or popcorn... a kid I went to school with had the misfortune of his mom making him hand out bags of popcorn on Halloween. I ate it in front of him to try to make him feel better about it. Wasn't bad
When I was a kid, there was an old lady in our little town of 900 or so people who made popcorn balls for trick or treaters held together with some sticky sugary confection she made. After nearly 60 years, I can honestly say that was the most delicious Halloween treat I would ever receive. Your post reminded me of that.

Injuries to the Braves' pitching staff
 
Most of the cities are college towns. I would guess Austin for Texas. Dallas has more Baptist Tallahassee sounds right for Florida and of course Lexington is Lexington. Is anyone in that city sober

I am embarrassed that I have let my city down......................I will try to drink more.........if'n someone will keep the Director in check.......................I will need some help to keep her from kicking my ass..........

I didn't hit send yesterday, so here!
And Rooster will railroad you. Do better! 😋Happy Halloween 😎

Good morning all. Finally can see that big bright orange ball in the Eastern sky. Seems like it's been raining daily for two weeks. Close. Getting up to the upper 50s later on. Normally I try not to do any hard, physical work on Sundays....was taught that it's the Lord's Day..a day of rest. But, with all the rain and the temp dropping into the 40s in another day or two...I've got things to do in the yard. So...out with the lawn mowers and trailer...mow, pick up a big pile of brush from some tree trimming, etc. Last mowing of the season.

Then get the snow blower out of the shed into the garage. Time to get prepared.

Y'all have a good, peaceful, healthy Lord's Day.

Good thing it's Sunday!
Cats need to get healthy and regroup this week. Can't let Tennessee beat them at home.

Everyone stay safe on this Sunday.

Cool place. Went looking there for an ancestor my Mom said was buried there according to family lore but who in reality wasn't buried there. Fun anyway. Historic Central London is amazing.

We had one of those in 42" and it lasted just as long if not a little longer. Kind of funny that plasma is now an old outdated technology.

I use my feet to get mine rolling then pop the clutch....;) I was trying to beat your hoopty story.

I do have a 2012 Mazda 3 that is totalled due to the San Antonio hail storm five or so years ago. Has a salvage title but a perfect commuter car. If I cleaned the windshield I'd drive it to Colorado. 77k on it.
I did that all the time with a 71 Datsun Truck

A reason everyone loved their plasma was the very deep black levels. The OLEDs have even lower levels. What I did was go to Best Buy compare then shop online. including Best Buy.
