D-League

A typical road in Korea...

But I sure do miss that toilet.... I loved that toilet...

Somehow I picture BBUK like this:

 
Today is my Birthday BUT I'm not looking for any "best wishes for your birthday" messages. Please don't. I just want everyone to know how cool it is to share this day with veterans. It's a privilege and an honor. Today is their day. Mom could not have picked a better day to bring my sorry ass in to this world. My sincerest thank-you veterans!
My mom turned 90 today. Happy birthday 82!

Thanks for the kind words Warrior and Bernie but I certainly don’t feel I deserve the honors rightly bestowed on veterans.

I always knew there was a basic difference - I could come and go when I wanted to. The guys who were there fulfilling their oath to defend the country didn’t have that option.

So, once again, thanks to all you veterans, your service to our country is very much appreciated.
You could come and go as you pleased, or you could have not gone at all. The key is you went of your own free will. Some soldiers went because they were made to go. I chose to go because it hurt my soul to know guys were being forced to go while I Was safe at home. In a way, I went for selfish reasons, to soothe my concious. Trust me, you deserve our appreciation.
 
Happy Birthday to @UK82 . Wishing you many more.

Watching MASH final episode now. Never saw the final, which aired in 1983. I'd just returned from peacekeeping duty in the desert and had other interests in mind back then -- i.e chasing ladies.

Listened to Buck Sexton and Clay Travis earlier today while driving back from BJs Brewhouse. Guest on the show reflected on his wounds in Iraq, loss of leg and recovery. After listening, I realized how lucky I am.

Ate some of the best Spaghetti and Jumbo meatballs at BJ's ever. Delicious.

Happy birthday to your Mom! My Mom turned 87 Sunday, Dad 86 Saturday. A lot of November babies in our family.
Thanks. My dad will be 90 in April good lord willing. So blessed to have had them this long. And I live less than half a mile away, so I can check on them daily. Worked beside them all my life on the family farm, truly blessed.

A non happy birthday to you.

Have a great other 364 days! Is this leap year coming up? If so have a great 365 other days! I cannot wish or pray you more than that and stay within your request. 😁
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 46°F and clear. 79°F looks like our high for today.

Nice break yesterday. Back working today. Co-worker out again. Hope we're not too busy.

Robert Morris Colonels visit Rupp tonight. Game at 7 pm EST. Go Cats!

Happy Friday!

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

What kind of work do you do for yours to be working and his to be out again. I would quit that job. ;) 😁
 
Good Friday morning D-League

Trust all are well. We have 66° and partly cloudy skies. A very slim chance of rain as the temperature climbs to 73° this afternoon.

Austin's chicken soup looks appetizing this morning. I came down with a head cold and sinus "drip" and a hot chicken soup would do me good. I will have that today.

Not a lot to do today but something always comes up. Take care all

That is something that has faded away and very rare in today's society. You are blessed. When I went away to college I pretty much left home forever. It was college then to the army and then to work. I only see my son and his family a few days out of the year.

Growing up my family was large on both sides and my early childhood was full of experiences with aunts, cousins and grand parents. But it seems the decades after WWII people started to scatter and farms were busted up and lost for ever. Below is the house I grew up in my early childhood. No heat, no AC, no indoor plumbing. It is long gone and now residential homes, condominiums and shopping areas are on these 100 acres. No trace of citrus groves or cattle. I do yearn for a simple life again but that is a dream gone away.

You are blessed.

It's a sunny 38 in the Buckeye State. Heading up to the low 50s. Sounds like MdWildcat and BBUK might be getting some of the rain we had late yesterday afternoon and evening.

My mom turned 90 today.
Happy B'day to your mom.
Sadly we are going to a viewing this morning of a lady who was the mother of a good friend of ours. She was 92 (I think). Was in a car wreck last week...broke a bunch of ribs, bit thru her tongue, and something in her stomach was split from the sideways lurch of impact. Told the Mrs. at the time she wouldn't last...only lived a couple of days. Sad.

Was yesterday anything special for @UK82? Thought I heard a rumor...but guess not.

Y'all have a good day.
 
A few of you inquired about the health and status of "Winter" the prosthetic tail dolphin at Clearwater Aquarium. She died at 8:00 PM last night. She was 16.

Sorry to hear that. Hoped she'd pull through.

We were hoping to take our daughter there to visit last year, but the plandemic cancelled our trip. Rescheduled to this winter, but will still come too late to see Winter. Makes me a bit sad for my daughter.

It is amazing our young girls were so attracted to Winter. I had never heard of her until my 10 year old granddaughter, at the time, told us about her. She visited a few years ago and it was amazing the interaction kids had with the dolphin. One youngster had flow all the way from the west coast. The child had a severe disability and inspiration from the dolphin aided in her recovery.

There were many stories like this

Wow, what I would give to go back and spend some time in that house in that era.

I had it yesterday in preparation for today. Or the day before.... My greats meals run together some times... ;)
 
Dudes making caddy shack 2 or is it 3?...
It would be 3, but if it's anything, at all, like 2 then you would be better served watching 1 while you sleep.

Speaking of golf, didn't happen today. Dude backed out on me after he got there and felt the cold wind. We ended up playing shuffleboard back in the bar. I tried to tell him last night that we play too much golf to play when the weather is this bad. I'll play when it's 35° as long as it's sunny and the wind isn't blowing. When it's 50 and overcast with the wind blowing 25mph, it's too cold.

Interesting note: we tied Duke while Oscar was in the game and they outscored us by 8 when he was on the bench with "foul trouble". He only played 11 minutes of the first half and then sat again when he picked up his 3rd "foul". He ended the game with those 3 fouls. Hmmmm...

Someone should have been keeping up with that fact during the game. I would rather lose with him fouled out than with him having 2 fouls left to give. Play to win! Don't play not to lose.
