D-League

[Girthang]

Good morning, D-League!

Hope it's a productive and enjoyable day for everyone. Don't let the distractions get you down. God has the real plan under control, and His son is preparing a place for you!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 31°F, clear and calm. Our high today may reach 67°F. We'll take it.

Lady Cats won again yesterday. Six straight wins after a horrible start. Hearing they may reach the tournament.

I've been keeping up with events in Ukraine. Wish that senseless war would end immediately. Hoping the best for Ukrainian people.

Monday, Monday....

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

Good Morning all,

I hope you are all well. Back at it hard today! (Well as hard at it as you can work and still sit in a chair.)

Food for thought...

Had this two suppers ago...

My Darling made a homemade lasagna. (Her first). I never got a picture as she had it sliced up to serve by the time I got to the table. Will have it a few meals as it was huge. Edible to the max though so no issues from this Ole boy... I am thankful! (My weight is actually trending back down. I am thankful as I was highly concerned. I am 15 pounds away from where I feel real good at.)

HBO did a good document on it. Sick. When HBO as liberal as they are goes after Scientology you know it has to be bad.

Watch Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (HBO) | Max

Watch Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (HBO) on Max. Plans start at $9.99/month. Former Scientologists shine a light on L. Ron Hubbard's controversial church, its origins and how it cultivates devoted believers.

www.hbomax.com

The Scientologist own about a half a billion dollars worth of property down town. It includes all of the historic buildings like the old Ft Harrison Hotel they converted into their headquarters. This is centered around their "complex" that consists of training classrooms where they teach their converts. As you drive down Cleveland Street, the main drag through town, you see the little Scientology converts dressed in white shirts and dark trousers carrying their notebooks and walking like zombies. There is no joy and very little interaction. Just marching to class like a brainwashed robot.

If you venture down there you feel an oppressive spirit that reminds one of demons. They ruined a wonderful place to grow up. This is what I like to do with the whole crowd.

Morning Legionnaires!

66° on tap for today with 15-20mph winds. Most of the ice melted yesterday with just a couple of heavier piles still hanging on. Should be gone today. Tomorrow and Wednesday will see middle to high 70's with light winds. Have a couple of things to do tomorrow but, will bank fish afterwards. Wednesday I will test out my kayak with outrigging to see how stable it is.

Have a workout with a little cleaning to do today but, will get some more sleep in afterwards. Did not sleep well last night so...

Enjoy your day folks and God Bless.

Morning D-Leaguers. It is a sunny 26.8°F on our way to 56°. There is a hint of spring outside as I have some bulb plants coming to life. The grass is considerable longer than last week. Bluegrass and fescue will grow anytime it is above 40°.

We looked at the Arkansas game again and I feel better about the team. The Cats could not shoot worth a crap and still nearly won. I like this team.

You all have a good day.

Does the kayak have storage for those large bass?

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. I hope you all had a great weekend. It was a nice one for me and the family.

Crazy to think we're heading into March. Let's hope it is a month to remember.

Have a good Monday.

We are in store for a picture perfect day with sunshine and cool temperatures. It is 64° and will climb to a high of 70°. My pool temperature is 84° so I might jump in this afternoon.

I really enjoy Rooster's train pictures. When I grew up trains were still the pulse and heart beat of America . Mama wanted the kids at the supper table around 5:00 PM and every day the Orange Blossom Special would arrive at the train station and blow that whistle. When the whistle blew we headed home. You could hear it a mile away. I rode on it from Jacksonville to Clearwater, so mama says, I was about 6 months old and remember back that far. As kids we would ask each other, "have you rode on that Orange Blossom Special" It was every kid's dream. Great times to be alive. "Rolling down that Seaboard Line.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Speaking of trains here is a song from Ole Hank about that Pan America. Leaving Cincinnati she went right through Kentucky on her way to New Orleans

 

[berniecarbo]

I may have posted about this before. Guy who works for me is older with health issues. He was made to get the shot to stay on a med program. About a month or so ago he had a zipper accident and sores/infections on his johnson. Saw docs several times and they prescribed meds no one local had. Took over a week to get them. Had his gall bladder out in the meantime. He called this morning. Tomorrow they are going to cut part of his johnson off. Don't know if the shot had any cause and effect or not, but have heard stories.

Hank was so plain in his speaking he related way past his ability and his ability was superb.

Sir, I sure am glad you are back! Sincerely missed and appreciated.

I've never seen lasagna quite like that.

Like most kids of that time, sounds like you were raised "free range".

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Most of us who live down here go to different places than the tourist. We have our special beach and restaurants that visitors are not aware of. Here is a place off the beaten path that you have to go out of your way to get to. It is not far but isolated and just off the touristy area. It is called Inn On The Gulf and has a 5 star restaurant. (I am doing the rating so I have to say IMO) LOL. They have the freshest seafood and get it off the docks right by the restaurant.

Across the road is another great hang out, Sam's Bar and Grill. This is like a sports bar where you can get buckets of oysters and any other seafood you want. It is Hudson Beach and in a different county than I live in but worth the trip down there.

Same here, wc! Woke up bright and shiny at 3am. Can't get much done without waking the whole house up, but I found some things

Would love to take my family on that journey just for the nostalgia. So much has changed

Afternoon D Leaguers.

Be fun, have safe.

I downloaded that photo for my wallpaper. Gonna stare at it next time I'm eating my workday peanut butter sandwich. Hope I don't gain any more weight from looking at this like I have from looking at the "food of the day" posts. I need to lose 30lbs

Sir,
if you or any of my friends here were near. I'd sure feed you. Bless you.

The Ft Harrison Hotel which serves as the International Headquarters of the Church of Scientology. The symbol on the building in the right side of the picture is that of Scientology.

One trivia question involving this hotel. In the 1960's The Rolling Stones were staying there during a tour and wrote the hit "Satisfaction" out by the pool.

I don't want to beat this subject into the ground but this video of propaganda will illustrate what is going on.

Wow. Loved the old hotels like this in FL. Hate to see it turned into that. The only reason it's a religion is because of the tax breaks.

There's a scientology office or building in downtown Chicago near Michigan Ave that a friend told me about decades ago. I remembered our convo about it years ago and went by to check it out when I was in town. Same creepy feeling you mentioned when walking around that building

I have commented that my wife is from Kentucky and comes from a large family. They also live a long and loving life. This picture is of one of her relatives who recently celebrated 76 years of marriage. Happy anniversary Mae and Edsel. He was around before the Edsel automobile by the way. I kidded him that they named it after him. He didn't think that was funny.

76 years is a long time to be married to a person. I don't care who you are. They were married in 1946.

My day has been blessed to see this. Thank you!

That is twice as long as I have been married. Just a true blessing to my heart. I cannot imagine the depth of their love. I am sure willing to try though. I could go further but I will stop with God Bless them. They Blessed me...

Rooster Alert

I received this in my email folder this afternoon. A loose Emu is on the prowl. If you see it running around let the Highlands County Sheriff know.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 36°F and clear. Crisp. Today's high expected around 73°F. Nice.

Last home game of the season tonight. UK favored by 16 over Ole Miss. Tip-off just after 7 pm EST. Go Cats!

Another February in the books....

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

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Morning D League

I am on my second cup of coffee and watching the sun coming up. We have 53° and will top out at 71° with sunny skies and 10 mph winds off of the Gulf. 1% chance of rain, all in all a pleasant day.

Take care all and keep the faith. Our nation is ready for anything that comes. We are WOKE. What, me worry? Brandon will give us the facts tonight. But I will be watching the Cats.

Practice your pronouns because it is very important.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Work issues had me up early, so I've knocked out a long walk and am starting work.

Senior night for the Wildcats. It means a lot less than it used to, back when we'd watch guys for four years, then see them off. But I'm very happy for Davion Mintz, who seems like a great kid, and who after the tragedy of last year has finally gotten to experience Kentucky basketball this year. Cal will start him of course, but it may be more than a nod to Senior day. I predict Cal is ready to try the four guards out, Oscar in formation, with Wheeler-TyTy-Grady-Mintz spreading teams out and letting Oscar deal with the paint.

With Senior Day in mind, here's a clip I know you've all seen many times, but that still gets to me.

This week I lost a cousin I loved as much as a man can love a cousin. He was really my "big brother" and he taught me to ride a horse and other things boys did when I grew up. He was an avid UK fan and we would talk after games and celebrate or point out the team's faults in the event of a rare loss. We also traveled to watch the Cats on the road. We attend all of the Big Four Classics in Indianapolis with UK, IU, ND and UL would play each year. I would fly up and we would drive to the game together along with other cousins and uncles.

This is a portion of his obituary and illustrates his love for UK. Rest in Peace Larry. You are missed and UK lost a lifelong passionate fan.

Larry will be remembered for being an honorable man who was kind, caring, and had a good sense of humor. He loved to cook and show you his love through food. He was an avid fan of college basketball and March madness was his favorite time of year. The University of Kentucky Wildcats will forever be his favorite team.

 

[BBUK]

Hello All,
Sorry to hear about the losses. I hurt for you as well.

I've been contemplating my options. I'm getting close to it now. I have a dilemma. Do I pack it in and go with the flow or do I do what my insides tell me to do, give my last roar and see if I can instill some fortitude for good into those around me before I retire. (If the Lord doesn't take me home.) I know what I am going to do but I see what it will bring me and I am not looking forward to that part. I still have broad shoulders. Just real thankful for this thread and the people in it. You keep me focused and half-way sane. Thank you!
