Man, would love to go but, saving money right now awaiting the status on my wife's job. They extended the drop dead date to be vaccinated to about mid Dec with the release for the job being Jan 4th if not. I guess they felt bad about Christmas with the first date of taking the vaccine being 22 Nov. and the release date being 9 Dec if you did not.

This kind of treatment of solid American citizens burns me up. What nation are we living in? I am not against vaccines but it is an individual choice in my mind, especially when we have seen they are not 100% effective. lf it was as reliable as a smallpox or polio vaccine about 99% of the population would take it without any worry. But it is not and if someone has had a reaction to the first one or is pregnant or what ever the reason it is their choice.

Freedom is fast fading away I pray only the best for you, warrior-cat and your wife. She has a lot of character if you ask me. I admire her

 

[warrior-cat]

I never thought a woman was above me or beneath me. Not since early high school really. I was mostly speaking of her voice. A woman with that kind of voice can have power over emotions within other people. Music can (or used to) do that to me.

An average woman with that beautiful of a voice was dangerous for me. A beautiful woman with that kind of voice... I might have gotten lost in and never gotten out even after she was long gone.

I can think of just a few voices besides hers that I thought might overwhelm me- Karen Carpenter, Norah Jones, Linda Ronstadt. Jones seems too liberal for me to fall for her as a person (and that was why I let one go many years ago who was very pretty with a voice similar to Jones). Never met anyone who could sing like the other 3, though, and looked like JLondon/LRonstadt. God has been good to me that I did not.

For me it was Olivia Neutron Bomb. She just blew me away.

Good friend of mine saw his first in person UK game and it was the 2008 final in San Antonio. Watched them win the title for his first game. I was jealous. To be fair, he called it after UK beat South Carolina the first time that year, so he deserved to see it. No one believed him. Definitely not me. But he never wavered even when they were down big to Duke and Stanford.

@Sawnee Cat. You're the only other person I know that saw a UK title game as your first. 50 years apart, but that's pretty cool. You'd probably like him.

I still have the program for the game. Programs in those days had a score card and I kept score. The Cats beat Temple on Friday night with Guy Rogers as their star. He played many years in the NBA. Saturday night was the championship against Elgin Baylor and Seattle. Adolph Rupp coached a masterpiece to beat that team. Baylor was one of the all time greats. Johnny Cox went off for about 24 points, hitting left handed jump shots from deep in the corner. What a time to be a kid.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 33° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 61°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Good morning all. It's a cold 34 out now in the Buckeye State...heading up to 49.

I'm thinking that I might agree with 'climate change'. Was thinking yesterday that just a short 2-3 months ago the A/C was on and I was working outside in shorts. Now...it's cold and was snowing the other day and a little last night. And...it's getting colder. SOMETHING MUST be going on!!!

Y'all have a good day.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Morning folks. Could not sleep this morning.

It is 36.3°F on our way to 64.

I love quail. The last I had was farm raised. As @Backer cutter stated the habitat for quail has basically been removed from a lot of rural Kentucky. They like where the meadow meets the woods and a cleaned up farm is not very attractive to them.

I remember as a kid..young adult there were pheasant and quail all over in this part of Ohio. Then, as I've been told, we had a terribly cold winter ('84-'85) that decreased the population. And about that time (I think) the farmers started to change how they prepared their fields for winter...and as Bert said the farm fields were cleaned up and I assume there wasn't the cover/food for them to make it through the winter.

Speaking of pheasants...a few years ago I heard the loudest noise one day in the back yard. Loud and carrying on. Had no idea what it was. Went outside and there was a huge pheasant just walking around crowing up a storm.

Good Morning D-Leaguers,
Wow, it's a crisp 46 degrees here, cloudy skies that are supposed to keep the temperature at a pleasant 65 degrees later on. Not a whole lot going on here today from my perspective, but I do enjoy reading some of your'alls back and forth chatter.

--This is MLB's awards week where they hand out the winners of MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, etc... Last night Randy Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays won Rookie of the Year!!!! In fact, Tampa had two of the three finalists with Wander Franco being the other. Was that a surprise to any of you baseball fans (all three of you on here)? What about the MVP awards coming up? Tonight is Manager of the Year. It's going to be a long, cold winter for me with no baseball going on.

--I'm getting used to my new glasses that I'm supposed to be wearing, so yeah, there's that piece of news. Wife and I both have them now.

--What else? Oh yeah, I'm now working on keeping my warm weather plants alive for the cooler months ahead, nursing my Hibiscus along will be my next little garden project.
--Have a great day, trust Jesus in all your dealings today and make the best of it.

 

[awf]

That's what we had tonight! Chili cheese dogs with baked beans and hash browns on the side. Got full. Will do better tomorrow.

I always tell the Director that I don't care what she fixes to eat as long as when I get done I am full..........it doesn't matter if it is a T-bone or a couple of bologna sandwiches..........

We had 28 huge flower pots along with countless smaller ones.......I built a 8' x 16' room in the garage to store them in.....it was a major job to put them in in the winter and then sit them out in the spring to get them acclimated......then she started growing orchids.....she needed another 8' x 8' room for them.....only this room needed heat and cooling........it sits empty since the orchid chapeter closed.....we gave most of the big potted plants away....we had some very nice looking hibiscus. I bought a little pointsetta for $1.89.....I had that damn thing for 15 yrs or better......it was about 5' tall.......white flies took it............The Directors flowers are a lot of work for .....ME.......

Yeah, it can be some work, but I don't mind it at all. Overall, we had a pretty good spring/summer with our plants/veggies. We have pretty long growing season around here. Recently, I've experimented with growing my tomato plants, various peppers, and herbs in large pots.

When I grow them the usual way in the ground, all the critters eat away at them and my dogs have torn into them as well, so the pots are good compromise. I'll probably go back to growing in the ground next spring, with a little screened in area to keep the varmints out.

When I stayed with my daughter in England I walked a lot......the River Great Ouse.......they built huge clay banks and most of the river sits higher than the surrounding country side......the British imported Chinese Ringneck Pheasants......and the dam things are everywhere.....you could hardly drive to base with out one trying to hit the grill of your car.......I was walking the river one day and say something that looked like a blue gazing ball like you see in peoples flower beds.......I took off towards it when I got about 75 or so yards away from it it flew off.......I looked it up and 1 in a 1,000,000 are the most beautiful blue pheasant you have ever seen......

 

[awf]

We had a most wonderful garden season.......the shelves are full of beans, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, pickles and white potatoes......when we planted the garden we didn't plan on doing any canning this season since we were pretty well stocked up........but with the way things are going......you make hay when the sun is shining........it is easier to throw old canned goods away than it is to wave a wand and make them appear......

These Ole' Boys were raised and still have a ranch just a little south of me. This song is on the money for us old folks.

Not being a hunter, I go on what I am told by some of my hunter friends. The coyote moving into this area has also made a dent in many ground nesting birds. Just 20 years ago I had wild turkey in my back yard and the field behind the house. I have not seen one in five years.

There are few or no pheasants in Southern Kentucky. I have seen one in my life in this part of the world and he may have gotten away from someone raising them.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

I had no idea until I saw a video a month or so ago that pepper plants are perennials. Showed where/how you can trim them down and bring them inside for the winter.

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

Don't know if anybody is/was a Meat Loaf fan. Maybe one or two songs I liked, but was never a huge fan.
This popped up on my YouTube last night. Was interested in watching it since it was a clip from Mike Huckabee's TV show...which is on a christian network and his guests are normally christian and/or conservative.
Anyway...funny guy...looks much older and a bit frail from the last time I saw (seem to remember that maybe he had some health problems a few years ago? Not sure). But he tells a story about the day JFK was shot...he was born/raised in Dallas. Interesting clip if you have the time.....

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Morning folks.

I'm late to the discussion of female singers that had the ability to touch something inside a person.
I saw Eva Cassidy at a club in DC called Blues Alley in the early 1990s, a couple years before she died, and her voice instantly affected me that way. She was from the area and considered just a local singer trying to break out, but clearly had a big talent. She passed from cancer at age 32, 33, in the early 90s and was almost totally unknown at the time, but people have discovered her music since then and she is that rare artist to be appreciated by the public only after death.
I could have picked a lot of her songs to post, but remember how she sang this one live.

 

[bertfan31]

Good morning! Listening to the Matt Jones show and they were making fun of Laura Ingraham for a segment on her show where she pretended not to understand her sidekick was talking about a show called "You". They did a take off on the old "Who's on first" skit.

Last week someone had written them that they had no common sense and Matt objected. I did as well because what the guy should have said was, as a group, to a man, they lack common knowledge about a vast variety of subjects.

Dude was right about them in this case. They actually believe that this show takes place and that Laura and her sidekick didn't talk about this before the show. They call it rehearsal in the business Matt.

Turned down a golf game this morning. Wrong guy texted me. I play with him in a foursome but we're not on a one on one game basis. He's too intense and I need to spread him out with two other guys.

Is that enough?

This painting just sold for $82.5 million.

This sculpture sold $78.4 million.

I'm thinking about selling my big green egg cook table and wet bar combo for about $100 million. Prolly a buck twenty if they want the eggs thrown in.

Were those "master works" by Hunter Biden? I know he decided last year he was an artist, in addition to a conman and a drug addict and a sexual deviant, and is now selling stuff that looks like it was done by a first-year art student (which he is) for $500,000.

For me it was Olivia Neutron Bomb. She just blew me away.

She was definitely next in the list. First in my younger years, but after I got to listen to Julie London, she got bumped down the list. : ) not too far that I wouldn't have stopped listening to the others while we were dating....

My friend has got a banner he made down there and had at the game, the ticket in the official NCAA ticket holder he got (out of respect) from some Iowa fans, got to meet Coach Montgomery of Stanford, and slapped hands with Tubby, Donna, and the team when they got to the post-game celebration. He won a friendly bet with 3 couples at the bar where they watched the Stanford semi-final game. They bet him when Stanford was up big, and he took the bet. So they all bought his drinks.

No real memorabilia though. Just memories, but he loves to talk about it. Heard the story 3 different times

Does the smell of apple butter cooking get anyone besides me ready for the holidays............my grandmother would cook a big cauldron of it right before Thanksgiving.......I have big pot on the stove I started cooking yesterday.....................bought the Director her traditional poinsettia plant this morning.......starting to feel like the holidays for me.......first time for the Director and myself to share bread on Thanksgiving in many years......

Used to hit pheasants every couple years driving in Illinois when I was there as a teenager. Haven't seen a pheasant since I visited there in the 80s and I still visit family every couple years

I did apple butter one time over an open fire. In addition to a fire pit we have in the back yard, we also have an old, old stone fireplace that was in an old building that was torn down decades ago. They left the fireplace...which I am glad for in that it's probably 120+ years old. The fireplace still has the old metal/steel swinging bars that they used years ago for cooking.
Put all the ingredients in the pot and hung the pot on one of the bars over the fire.. Followed the recipe but really didn't know what I was doing. Guess when you cook over an open fire you don't really cook over an open fire 😄 When it was time for my homemade apple butter...it was like concrete in the bottom of the old cast iron pot that I hung on the steel bar...directly above the fire. Got just a wee bit too hot. Finally threw away the pot....probably was 100+ years old...couldn't 'chisel' the apple butter off the bottom.

Great story. I have quite a few items from the 1998 Championship season listed on Ebay. Here is one. It has a replica of the floor and all of the scores for that season. Also the Sports Illustrated Magazine Cover for the finals, with wood frame for mounting in your UK Wildcat Room.

The last animals that I killed were two coyotes. They were attacking my neighbors dog and she called "Buffalo Bill" Bert to equal the fight. I got one down and the other limped away and I could not get the second shot as he was about 100 yards away. A .22 ain't much good past 50 yards.

On pheasants and mineral deficiency: I have been told that they do well in glaciated land. Southern Kentucky was not glaciated. I don't know if that is true but it sure sounds good.

That is Corner Stone, not John Hagee nor Matthew Hagee in the lead from watching that video. Amazing that would happen there knowing the connotations. Some do but not too many wear ball caps during any kind of church service. Sure looks like it happened but who was using the church (I am positive it was a sanctioned event.) and was that a planned action? I'd probably look for a comment from either of the two Hagee's in this instance...

I found a couple responses; (I have not read these.)(I won't be able to until later this evening but I will as John Hagee has been trustworthy as I believe his son to be... though men do some things to lend to not trusting in man but trusting in God.

If me, I have no issues with the connotations as at some point you must take actions versus just talk BUT, not in a house of God in that manner.... (I will look for any comments from John or Matthew Hagee in this instance. (Not sure of John Hagee's health as he is getting up there, age-wise. I hope this doesn't harm him.)

no you probably couldn't chisel it out......but.........if you would have taken and put two or three inches of water in there and let it cook over the fire it would have come out...........also never add your ingredients beyond the apples till it is almost cooked down......that helps with the scorching issue....the Director has a special pot that has a multi layered bottom that cost almost $400.....it isn't scorch free but we don't have to stand over the stove from start to finish....
