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.

Just watched a video recipe for a fruit compote last night. You're freakin me out with this stuff!!

 

[Girthang]

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.

Senior Day in football and basketball always get to me. Always emotional for players I know are playing their last home game. I'll be misty eyed for Oscar and the others tonight as I've grown fond of the young men.

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.

Very sorry for your loss, Sawnee Cat. For you it will seem too long, but for him it will seem like just a minute until you see each other again. May he rest peacefully

Isn't it about time for Bertfan31 to get out of Cats Illustrated jail?

Maybe Leon Russel can sing him out. We need you Bertfan31

Thank you, eternity and time will be no more.

A picture below tells the story of our childhood. He taught me to ride a horse and plow the bottom 5 acres with a mule. He was the best plow boy on the creek and would plow gardens for a $1 bill. That is what we did in the 50's. RIP cousin, you were closer than a brother. I will miss that phone call after the game tonight. Larry was a graduate of Belfry High School in Pike County and loved his Pirates too. He played basketball back in the 50's during the King Kelly Coleman years.

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.

I hope they catch him soon. He is constantly running by people, yelling out "You only pay for what you need."

Meet FP260. He is doing well and has passed his test of remaining in the wild and feeding on natural prey. Which is a good thing.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Florida Fish and Wildlife and Conservation Commission (FWC) continue monitoring FP260’s location. For the past several weeks the panther has been located on public conservation land and feeding on natural prey. Given the panther's recent behavior, we and our conservation partners, including FWC, are pausing plans to remove FP260 from the wild.

There is nothing wrong being conservative . . . especially with endangered species. We learned that subsidized predators can and are perfectly content with eating their preferred prey into extinction. Low numbers of top predators is indicative of a limited resource and usually not the problem. It's well-intended mis-informed do-gooders being Simpletons.

Swamp inhabitants including pythons and the like can and do use this. Predation of the swamp deer fawns is real and not likely the lion but they'll finish the job and get the blame. It's all the swamp predators. A lion roams for many reasons. If it's for food, a steer (or your dog) will do and become a subsidized predator further jeopardizing the deer pop. The USF&WS is a federal agency so don't expect competency. Conservation partners . . . uh oh. Agenda driven subsidizers.

58% FG, 54% 3FG. UK playing great on Senior Night.

Go Cats!

[starchief5]

Uh oh.

 

[OldEvilleCat]

Up 9 at the half. Nice to Grady & Mintz knock down some 3s on Senior night.
First 4 minutes of the 2nd half, need to get up by 15 then cruise

 

[AustinTXCat]

Way to go, Cats!

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Nice win. So, the Cats now depart Rupp for the rest of the year, to play between three and ten games - one regular season game and between 1-3 in the SEC tourney and 1-6 in the NCAA tourney. Can they go on an epic ten-game winning streak and make history? We’ll see.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 44°F, clear and calm. Expecting 75°F for our high later this afternoon.

Texas election primaries occurred yesterday. I voted early last week. No line. Polls open 7 am to 7 pm six days per week. The notion that anyone is denied a right to vote is utter horse crap.

Switching gears, happy for our Cats. Played well at home. Let's take care of business in FL this coming Saturday and later next week.

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

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Good morning. It is a sunny 35.6°F in Smiths Grove on its way to 72°.

The Cats won last night and Kansas lost! That is two straight losses for Kansas. I am happy. Hopefully we can add to our all time lead in games over them. Purdue lost which keeps UK's chances for a 2 seed going.

Florida did not look that good against Vandy; however, they ended up winning by four mainly based on the FT differential, UF 14 VU 6.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. So the month of Madness is in full swing. It may be one we long remember. Hope so.

Busy with work so I’ll wish you well and catch up later.

Good Morning all,
I need pie, I have no pie, I will settle for an English muffin with cream cheese...

Talking about eating........do you cut your milk back when you add cheese to your biscuits??????.........I want to venture into some of those cheddar cheese biscuits...........You know.....I am the type to never be satisfied with something.....always tinkering and improving..........expanding my repertoire.......

I use buttermilk, (cut in crisco shortening and butter. Everything is used cold. That is the key.) I do mix the dough a little more moist but that is due to my Darlings tastes. I normally add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese during the last few stirrings. I am not a measurer type. I add until I feel it is correct. I do use about two and a half or so cups of self-rising flour, cut in the butter and crisco, then add the buttermilk, then the cheese. I use a mason jar cap (The screw on part) to cut out my biscuit bread. Bake at 450

One thing I do not do when adding cheese is add any salt as the cheese has plenty to our taste.

I guess by now all of you have received you COVID test from the government. Mine showed up in the U.S. mail. Have any of you in the D used it?

I looked it over and mine had Made In China on the package. So I tossed it in the garbage. I guess I contributed to government waste. Think about it. The China Virus. Our government is using a test Made In China to test a virus deliberately given to us by the Chinese. No thanks. The United States of America is the dumbest bunch of clowns on earth, and now we buy oil from Russia. So on and on it goes.

Nice win by our Cats but they better tighten up the defense.

I am actually taking the BB shortly to his doctor's office to get a drive-through rapid test. He was exposed at school and needs this to go back. Just got off a video call with his doctor. Me and my Darling have never taken any tests. Got the initial two shots but I think we are done as far as that goes. Ahma is feeding him now.

Thank you.......I have mastered plain biscuits......I told the Director about your cheddar cheese biscuits........I add extra milk to mine as I prefer the texture of the bread that it produces.....I have an old snuff jar to cut my biscuits.........it's one my MIL used for no telling how many years.........she made a big biscuit...........they doubled as bread for a tomato sandwich when we was out working in the fields.

Good morning D, plenty of sunshine here in the Berg. Been reading in Daniel, He says it's going to be bad!!!!

Good game by the CATS last night, but according to some in RR, it looked like we lost!!!!

Had the I didn't want to do anything yesterday, until Mrs. M came home for lunch, she told me more or less to get my A$$ out of the house and go metal detecting, glad she did. I spent 4 hours going over the same yard next door that I have been over no telling how many times, left with, 50 cents, 4 dimes, and ten pennies, a crescent wrench, a half inch wrench and a Harley Davidson emblem with a bunch of patent numbers on. I am going to give it to a young man whose DAD was avid Harley rider, his DAD passed away 2 days after JP.

I hope the D has a great day and prayers for the D!!!

We received our test kits a couple of weeks ago. Wife had a few days of being under the weather last week. Which is unusual for her. Used one of the kits. All clear.

The BB was negative. Thankfully...

If you want fresh Gulf shrimp go to Pelican Seafood in Tarpon Springs located on the Sponge Docks. Never frozen and certainly not from China. These are Key West pink shrimp.

I DO love me some shrimps!!!

I know every way there is to cook shrimps!!! (I sure hope shrimps don't have no gizzard.)

I did some shrimping on the coast of South Carolina but mine were never that large but, I ate'em...

 

[Sawnee Cat]

This is what I am having for supper tonight along with a few other things. One of my favorite vegetables and a kissing cousin to cotton and hibiscus plants
