D-League

[starchief5]

No, I didn't get excited but I did make a spelling error. It doesn't happen often but I always laugh about it. Most of the time I'm typing, I'm also watching tv. Most of the time I proofread what I've written but sometimes I just hit send and check it later.

I did end up playing golf today. The second person who called made a much better argument than the first guy. I caught up with them on number 4 and played on out. Was 1 under after we walked off 18. Doesn't count though. I'll try to duplicate tomorrow.

Hmm. I didn't cetch any speling errers in your post.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 52°F, partly cloudy and calm. Today's high predicted at around 78°F. Nice, Fog may roll in a bit later.

Co-worker out this morning. Hope we are not too busy.

Happy Hump Day....

I checked out the women's volleyball thread and a poster said he didn't want to play Wisconsin again because they had a freakishly tall player. I looked at their roster and couldn't tell which player he was talking about. They have a 6'7", 6'8" and 6'9". Take your pick. Hell that rivals UK's mens basketball front line. Doubtful they all play at the same time but what do I know.

I watched UK vs Wisconsin volleyball match earlier this year. Badger gals are giants. Definitely would rather avoid.

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

Good morning D-League. It's currently 31° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring rain showers and a high of 52°.

Everyone stay safe on this hump day.

@Sawnee Cat hey bud, looks like I'm going to peter out on the bowl game. I was all game to go when it was going to be the Outback Bowl. I'm not sure I'm willing to deal with Orlando on New Years Eve.

The plane tickets for the weekend ended up being 325 instead of 61. The cheapest motel I could find was about 250 per night. I'm going to end up dropping a grand and I can't help but think of what I can do with that money right here at home.

I hate myself sometimes, but it's for the better. Hopefully

I can understand, Tampa is a much better venue for a Bowl game. The city is more fun and the restaurants are hard to beat. Plus they have Ybor City. Ybor City is a hidden jewel that even a Nun would take down her hair and have fun in. Sangria flows like water in Ybor.

When you start adding things up it can get expensive. I expect a great Kentucky crowd because so many folks with Kentucky ties live down here.

50 years ago girls that tall were put in a circus. But since there are no more circuses around they play volleyball for Wisconsin. I would want to avoid them too.

More than half the time I don't proof read mine I just hit send and let things fly. If the message is understood I am good with it.

Hello all,

In DC again, yeah....it's a swamp!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good morning D-League.

Well it is December and the days are getting shorter. I realize life is getting shorter for me as i am deep into the December of my life on earth. Not really a bad thing for me as life has been good.

It's currently 40° and we will have sunny skies as we climb to 72° A perfect day to have a bowl game and just have some fun. The coffee is extra good this morning as I sit here in the cool of the morning wearing my short britches and fleece jacket I thought I had given to Goodwill. I gave my wife a nice reward for finding it.

Well, a lot to do today as we prepare for a family Christmas so I better get on it. The smell of sausage has my spirits high and hot biscuits just add to what should be a great day. Trust all are well and prayers to those who are in need or have a special request.

I love the Old Fashion Trolley Cars

Good morning folks.

Happy December. Christmas is bearing down fast now.

I wish I’d stayed up to see the Dukies lose. But I did watched the Syracuse-Indiana game. Exciting game between two mediocre teams and always fun to see IUseToBe with a frustrating loss.

Morning Legionnaires!

2 cups down, loaded up and trucking.

Weather comparable with @AustinTXCat. Will allow more work in and around the outside of the house today. The rest of the week is more of the same. May decide to try and get a little fishing done tomorrow afternoon. Get a day or 2 in before the weather gets colder. Been watching a few fishing shows everyday for the last week or so.

Es ist Mittwoche so...Hump Day! That is for those still working.

If you run into this cowgirl tell her Waylon's back in town.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

I don't even own a suit. The last time I wore a suit was for a civil service job interview 18 years ago (I got the job, for which I didn't have to wear a suit). I had not worn a suit for 17 years previous to that interview. I am definitely a blue-collar guy.

I attend a large church of thousands and I cannot recall ever seeing anyone, including any speakers, wear a suit. Speakers do however wear long pants, even if it is jeans. It's just a West Coast thing I guess. I wore a suit to church every time until I moved out West.

Like Sawnee I rarely wear long pants. Shorts and sandals almost all the time.

Wow, no suits. Even the Hatfield Clan dressed up to go feuding. How can you shoot McCoys without dressing up. That doesn't cut it in the hills. You have to look your Sunday Best.

Ha......... I met the Secretary of the VA today. I doubt he will remember me. In fairness though, I doubt I will remember him either...😇

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Good late morning to you good folks. I have overnight company again so I am getting a late start. I watched by bluray of the UL football game last night. It is better the second time around.

I really wish that I had caught the Duke lose. I love anything bad that happens to Duke or Notre Dame.

It is an overcast 53.2°F in Smiths Grove on our way to 61° and a 40% chance of rain. A little rain would not hurt us at all.

I can't believe it is December already. Where did the last 40 years go?

On typo's and spelling: you must overlook my horrible grammar and typing skills. My sister was a whiz at language and I was a total dude. I had to have 6 hours in either Russian, German or French for a chemistry degree. I made 2 C's and probably was lucky to get that. Some of you guys have fantastic language skills. I envy that.

I will start pulling out Christmas decorations today. I dread that.

Speaking of suits and killin' reminds me of a dark chapter in my family's saga I only learned about when I was already in my fifties. It wasn't something my mother talked about with any pride.

Her mother - my grandmother - had an older sister she was close with. The family lived in the town of Augusta, Kentucky. The sister got married and moved right across the Ohio River to a small town there. One day way back in the 1920s, for reasons that my mother claims are still a family mystery, the man came home from work and shot my great aunt dead.

Learning about this story later in life sort of shocked me, so I did some research. Sure enough, I found the guy on the Ohio Department of Corrections website. Not too many details about the crime, but his photo was posted on a page with everyone Ohio executed. One of the things that struck me is that everyone on the page was in a similar suit. I wondered if they recycled them after the "Death Row Portraits."

Anyway, here's the scoundrel who killed my great aunt...

The debt repository...

Less than 500 feet from the first picture above...

Some other notables...

Oh, all within view of the front door...

 

[BBUK]

A couple meals I had the last few days...

You can look at this as Spam made of fish with a lot less salt, rice pressed into thick noodles, onion's, peppers, an egg soft-boiled, beef, and a lightly red pepper-spiced sauce...

The Name? O-Dang (My pronunciation.)

Vegetables as they should be eaten at times...

With an over-easy egg, and some lightly spiced red-pepper paste. Mix it all together and.....eat it!

I'm happy, but why isn't her a$$ chapped too?

Where are the people. One would think the streets would be bustling with men and women, boys and girls.

 

[OldEvilleCat]

What up fellas!

National Pie Day!
Custard Pie, my favorite.
I'm gonna tell you the truth, ain't gonna tell you no lie,
I'm crazy 'bout her custard pie!

If it's good for a man aged eighty three,
Know good and well it's good enough for me!

I'm gonna tell you somethin', don't tell nobody else,
I wants that pie all to myself!

Come on babe and be nice,
I want you to save me a slice!

Says, I don't care if you live 'cross the street,
When you cut that pie, please save me a piece

Well boys, sayin' I have to go,
Can't get a dish, she can't give me no more!
She got to give me some of it,
She got to give me some of it,
She got to give me some of it
Before she give it all away!

YOU GOT TO GIVE ME SOME OF IT

 

[BBUK]

That was about 8:15 this morning. Some were out and about but.... I doubt it still flourishes as it once did not long ago...

Edit: Oh yeah and pictures cannot lie in this arena...

I watched my first Christmas movie of the season today, "Trading Places". Have to watch it every year. Wife says it is not a Christmas movie but, I have to disagree.

Slept late, played golf, drank a couple or four beers, ate leftover pizza. That's about it.
