Good Sunny Morning

It is a little after 7:00 in the morning and we have 58° and sun will shine bright all day as we hit 86°. zero chance of rain.

I woke up this morning with a little tingle in my throat from the night air last night. So I made a cup of honey, lemon, water and a sprinkle of bourbon to knock it out before it is something. I ain't got time for no head colds. They say local honey is the best for you and just up the road a man has a stand that sells Orange Blossom Honey our of his grove. Good stuff.

The Cats need a win over the Gators to keep their edge. Tip Off at 2:00 EST. CBS.

I smell sausage frying and my wife is going to fry up a pan of apples. Love those fried apples. Trust all are well

Now if you had a black iron full of biscuits...........a little gravy........maaaaaybe a couple of messy eggs.......see y'all.......I am headed to Cracker Barrel to meet my pigeon buddies for our Saturday morning round table..........

Oh, yes we will have all of the above. With the exception of a "little gravy". We will have a lot of gravy as it is a beverage in our house. We still cook with our cast iron skillets. My grandma used them 100 years ago

I despise Wal-Mart and Sams Club. We had a set of tires put on at Sams. They torqued one to tight and a wheel came off while we were at highway speed. They would not take care of it. All I asked was pay for towing and repairs, no threat of a lawsuit or extra money. Originally the store manager agreed, but neither he or Sams backed it up.

Walmart is a lesser evil I indulge but it is not because I want to. (Despise Target even more.) We had a Sam's membership previously and really only for the gas. Ended up now with a costco membership that we spilt between my daughters. They have some good meats and we have bought King Crab legs several times and some specials. We really go inside to let our BB run around. He has learned to stay within a certain area and when people come around he stops his horseplay well. We do have fun. BB is downstairs now with my Darling. My Darling giving my older bones a break but I am thankful.

A busy day tomorrow that starts at 8:15 or so. I will try to keep up with the game and events...

Wal Mart and Sam's club increase my standard of living quite a bit. They have good products at low prices. Why would I want to pay more at Kroger's for the exact same product?

The rush can be a pain sometimes but I fine it worth it as I am one cheap dude.

Good morning folks. Very enjoyable hike today. Cool and clear. I'm seeing a proliferation of magnificent predatory birds in the woods in recent days. Actually saw a Barred Owl, which aren't uncommon but hard to spot, some very large hawks and an osprey which has wandered into our ecosystem along a lake.

Just lifted up my iPhone and caught this medium-sized Cooper's Hawk (I think) lifting off.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 65°F and cloudy. Light wind out of the south. Today's high predicted around 80°F.

Kim Mulkey went ballistic last night at end of LSU/LadyCats game from Nashville. Ha ha, threw an assistant of out of the way. She thought her player was fouled by a UK player and it was not called. Kim got a technical. Wish she'd stayed at Baylor. Vols vs LadyCats today.

Cats at Gators today. Last regular season game starts at 2 pm EST. Go Cats!

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

Neither are my favorite shopping experience, but I get the value equation & appreciate that. We hit W-M now & then, but there's a deli & three other food stores considerably closer than nearest W-M.

Florida Mom Throws Pot At Her Man’s Head For Fishing Too Much

Yes, you guessed it, this was good Ole' Pasco County.

Back in the pre-cart days early in our marriage I let my wife walk along with me while I was playing golf (they had only recently transitioned from wooden to iron shafts). I finally had to gently say, "Honey, you can't be talking to me when I'm swinging at the ball." It hurt her feelings and she never tagged along again.

At first glance I though you said "prison buddies."

Fify Sir.... I am frugal to the max too but I really do not like a lot of things Walmart supports. Really not a better alternative around here as there is a big difference in their prices.

Your image appears to me an immature red-tailed hawk. Frequently they are confused for immature Cooper's. There also exists a size overlap of female Cooper's hawks and the male red-tail adding to that. They are avian examples of convergent adaptation where immature of woodland species of intermediate sized avian predators are camoflaged for foraging the same ecotone (Woodland edges) where prey density/diversity are highest. Further investion could be expected characterized with the Buteo (red-tail) and the Accipiter (Cooper's) fledges developing more their specialized foraging strategies as they mature. RTH vs. Cooper's​

Thanks Rooster. You are most likely correct. Both types are common in the woods near us.

50% FG, 40% 3FG. Up by 12 at the half. Owning the glass. Thanks, Oscar.

Go Cats!

Lexington "string music" sounded so good down in Gatorland. Way to close out regular season.

Go Cats!

Had to miss the game but I kept up with the score. Come on.... Texas...

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Local sportscaster says, Kentucky holds on to edge the Gators. It is obvious he did not watch the entire game or does not know how Calipari coaches. UK runs up a double digit lead and then goes into stall ball to finish the game out. It was not like the Gators were on a huge run at the end of the game had the Cats kept playing the win would be 15 or 20 points.

UK was in control and coasting like Cal always does at the end. Good win and Cats get a decent seed in the SEC tournament. I would love to see the Cats take home the trophy from Tampa.

Our oldest black iron is a skillet that the in-laws received as a wedding gift when they got married in 1936...........it was used and well seasoned when she received it as a gift......where they are from it was custom to give newlyweds something useful...............it was a poor community, in a very poor time........it was made in Korea...............

Ouch, ouch, ouch....

Cal has not been resorting to the stall ball this season that I have watched. While I was watching the scoring on Yahoo's site, I hoped that was not happening. Let these horses run Cal, let them run... The stall ball has been what has caused UK to lose in situations where they should have and could have won!

 

[BBUK]

My contingency was at the game today!!! (I didn't realize it until a few minutes ago when I saw my son's text.)

My son in the middle and my two grand babies (The smaller ones in the front.) To these two I am G-Pa... 🥰


Note: My son is a graduate of UF as well. He knows his roots! (He did attend UK but entered the Kentucky air national guard and then in the Florida guard and did his time in Iraq.)

Florida is one school I want to beat as bad as we can beat them. I still remember watching games in Alligator Alley. But no complaints today, it was a good win and I am happy about it. Oscar was a man among boys. as he usually is

He hasn't done it much, but Oscar was in foul trouble and I think he wanted to limit possessions. Every time Oscar left the game, UF went to the big kid and started cutting the lead. If we had run it up and down the floor and Oscar fouls out, we may not have liked the outcome.

Tell him I could hear the Go Big Blue chants throughout the game. Good job.

 

[warrior-cat]

We controlled the game the whole way and I do think stall ball was in play at the end until they cut into the lead.

Does anyone else think that Cal has a problem drawing up out of bounds plays or is it just me?

Thanks for explaining Sir. The games I have watched this season have not been vintage Cal stall ball no matter the opponent the last five or six. (I knew his reasoning, I just was completely against his reasoning, not that it mattered what I was against.) With his new staff, I saw changes in that area and had hoped upon hope it would be a thing of the past BUT, in certain situations like you just explained, I can fully understand it. Thanks (I was just able to watch the box scores.)

My wife and four of my friends were given tickets by Joe B. We sat at the end of the bench and figured out just how nasty Florida can be.

I tried to figure out when UK plays in the SECT.

They show UT as the 2 seed.

What am I missing?

Supposed to be Friday night. I believe we are the second game.

TN holds the tiebreaker over UK.

8:15 pm EST next Friday, March 11, based on what I've read.

OMFG. LadyCats beat UT tonight in the SEC semi-final led by Rhyne Howard. My dumbass forgot to watch. Sorry ladies.

Go Cats!

My wife and four of my friends were given tickets by Joe B. We sat at the end of the bench and figured out just how nasty Florida can be.

Was that in Alligator Alley? I use to go there every year and I have seen some unbelievable things in that "cracker box". Most high schools gyms are bigger than that place was.

Some of the things I saw happen over the years. The gym had sets of large doors that opened up about 10' past the back end zone line. These doors were always closed when Florida was shooting at that goal and always opened when UK was shooting. There was a strong wind and the player had to shoot straight into it . I swear I saw free throw blown out of the cylinder a couple of times.

Another thing they would do was the windows. Large windows allowed bright sunlight to shine right in the face of a team if adjusted a certain way. Some student always figured out how to adjust them to shine on UK. During an afternoon game UK would be shooting directly into the sun Finally the court was only a foot or so away from the seats. Many, many times a UK player tried to take a ball out on the sideline and had some UF student pull the hair on their legs. I swear this had to be some fraternity house initiation routine. You couldn't be a member of the KA unless you pulled the hair off of the leg of a UK player.

Rupp hated that place, Harry Lancaster would be prepared to fight. Meanwhile 6' ll" Neal Walk laughed and put up about 30 on us.

I don't remember this for a fact but I don't think Alligator Alley had air conditioning. If they did it was broke when UK played

Good morning folks. Hope its a good Sunday for everhybody.

Now, I'm not a Marvel movies fan, as opposed to the comic books when I was a pre-teen.

But I'll take a crack at "favorite Marvel scene."
Here's a scene I watched with my son when he was a kid that I liked:

Imagine it with Coach K saying, "I have an army OF REFEREES"
And Cal responding "We have an OSCAR!"
