D-League

[Girthang]

Good morning, D-League!

Puppy free minute. 46° out on its way to a non-florida-balmy 70°. Rain coming in tomorrow night or Wednesday.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

36.9°F and sunny. We are on our way to 73°. I look forward to that.

Ritchie leaves today. I had a fun weekend, I just wish that UK could have make it a great weekend. Auburn stunk really bad in their second game. They got it handed to them by Miami. I never expected that.

Work on taxes today. I hate it.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Last Thursday and Saturday shall live infamously with regards to Kentucky Basketball history.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

70° and sunny not a cloud in the sky. Our high will be a breezy 82° with 0% chance of rain.

I have the 2022 basketball season on the bottom shelf and will move forward. So much to do and my candle is burning at both ends so to speak. I have a whole lot of yard work to do and then get ready for planting. Our landscape had severe damage over the winter months but l have a plan.

Strange things are happening at the gas pump around America. In our area gasoline for regular is down 5 cents a gallon from last week but diesel fuel is up $1.00 a gallon. Truckers have to be upset about this.

Good afternoon! Went to the golf course this morning for free coffee and to talk about the Cats with an old friend. He countered each and every emotional complaint I had about Cal with a factual counterpoint. As we were talking I realized that I was still in the second stage of grief. I was angry.

I'm skipping the rest of it and going straight to acceptance. Never been one to follow unnecessary rules.

I am not only looking forward to next year, regardless of who comes, stays, or leaves. I am also glad that Cal will be the one putting them together and showing them how to play as a team while he treats some as scum and others as superstars. I'm fine with what happens. I do reserve the right to be passive / aggressive if I decide to be either.

 

[bertfan31]

My house is the same age as me. It needs help. Won't go in to the whole deal, but, I feel like the house has settled over the years and reduced the slope of my main sewer pipe under the house. I've seen a video of the inside of the pipe from my end to the street and there is nothing wrong with the pipe at all.

Needless to say, it is cast iron, and therefore no modification to that pipe is realistic. What I'm looking at is re-plumbing the entire house. My wife told me last night that she didn't care how much it cost, get it done. I'll have the last laugh there. I will not enjoy it though.

 

[bertfan31]

One more thing and I'm done. Would one of you guys please tell Cal these guys are not machines. They're not computers! Tell him that if they were, then you could easily micromanage them as they were performing their intended purpose.

Tell him he's dealing with humans and none of those like being told what to do the entire time they are trying to do something. He becomes redundant and mundane early in the game.

Thanks!

1. Totally agree given new information. your free to have 2 (or more) opinions.
2. If a player doesn't want to play for UK . . . bye.
   
   

My house is the same age as me.

Mine too, a major reason why ya'll haven't seen more of me. That and the silly mask requirement.

I know the feeling. My house was built in 1998. Because of the railroad moving me all the time this is the first house that we have ever had to maintain. In my working days we would move somewhere and be there for 5 years or less and leave.

Now I have replaced three air conditioners/heaters, roof, gutters, screen in the screened-in porch, all four toilets, hot water heater, 6 windows and 2 doors. Now that does not count what needs to be done this year.

Get er done.

Someone, maybe Sawnee, was talking about the church of scientology the other day. I got an order for 24 shades through a third party from them in Clearwater on Fort Harrison Ave.

Does anyone here live in south central Ohio? If so, does the Ohio Cental RR still run a steam engine?

That is them. Their international HQ is located on Ft Harrison Ave in the Old Fort Harrison Hotel. They bought pretty much all of down town.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 63°F and raining. We may warm to around 69°F for our high. Tornadoes hit just a few miles north of us in Round Rock last night, flipping over cars and ripping through buildings. Roughly 100 homes damaged. We were lucky.

Finally received check for jury duty yesterday, 3 months after sitting in court. Sigh. Typical local government.

Wildcat spring football practice begins today. Go Cats!

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

 

[Girthang]

Good morning, D-League!

Puppy is letting us know (sometimes) when it has to eliminate. That is all. Still a bundle of joy. For someone

A cool 49° and a light dew on the grass.

Hope y'all have a great day!

It would be even more funny if it wasn't true and accurate... and prophetic.

He's probably letting you know all the time, even if you don't realize it. Just need to keep an eye on him. A young pup will probably need to eliminate 20 or 30 minutes after eating/drinking or soon after a round of play. If you see him sniffing around at those times, he's telling you. Have a treat handy, take him outside and praise him highly in an excited voice when he does the deed. We used that method to train Maddie when she was 8 weeks old and had her house broke the first weekend.

Morning Legionnaires!

45° on tap today with high winds. Rained most of the day yesterday. The most rain I have seen in a while.

@autintxcat, We don't need anymore "creeps" in this country we have enough of them all ready. Don't want to overload my donkey or in my case, my jackass.

 

[BBUK]

Hello all, still not back but the sun is still shining... Have a great day!

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Morning D

I trust your day is filled with what makes you happy whether it be sunshine, rain or fog. We have a sunny day, my preference, with a temperature of 56° and the sun will move that up to a pleasant 84°. The golf courses will be crowded as usual. As will the beaches. I will be working in the yard and hauling loads to the recycle center.

Have you ever heard someone say "Pray for our President". Preachers love to say that in the pulpit. I saw a bumper sticker that read "Pray For Biden --- Psalm 109:8"

So I looked it up and I found a reason I can pray for Brandon; Psalm 109:8 - "Let his days be few and brief; and let others step forward to replace him."

Praise the Lord I Saw The Light

Courtesy yesterday's storms, I believe. Peak Texas. Great Chevy truck endorsement.

BTW, unless you catch the pup "immediately in the act", it will probably do no good to scold/punish. He won't associate the punishment with the act of pooping indoors being a misdeed. Likely it will just make him look for a hiding place next time- ie behind the couch. Best just to clean it up and watch him closer for warning signs next time.

Good advice! Learned that from my friend's first wife, actually. He caught her dancing with another man and took her to task. She just stopped dancing with other men in public.... He's got a good one now, though.

It is a cloudy 59.0°F on our way to 75° and a chance for rain.

I worked on taxes to I could not take it anymore.

You all have a good day and stay safe Austin.

No, pray for our president because Harris and Pelosi are the next in line behind him. Man we are screwed.

Thanks , Yes very. Yes Maybe too much. Exactly why she needs to shut up. After falling in, YouTube beat you with this. I ran for about 4 hours instructing YouTube how to find more of that eclectic stuff we obviously enjoy. I'll go back listen to what she has to say. I absolutely hated the shack shakers until I started listening to the folklore.

Radio said the national average of gas had fallen $.07 in the last week. It hasn't budged off $3.99 since right after the war started here.

Good afternoon! Woke up at noon today. Slept through a couple of different texts about playing golf this morning. Snooze you lose.

Might stay home all day. Need to get out to the workshop and start on next project. Might mow the grass. No need to rush into anything.

Have a day!

So......I had a pair of English Sparrows that decided to set up house one the top of a deck post at the roof line.....I wadded up some hardware cloth and put it up their..........after multiple attempts they got a piece of grass to cling to the wire and they were building again.....I just got done putting some 1/2" x 1" welded wire up there.....they will have to relocate....I thought about pulling a Robert Stroud and raising one but.......I have enough on my plate........I remarked to the Director how much the sparrows were like the Democrats........they are relentless in getting one peice of straw to stick.........then they start pilling it up........the Dem's sling lies until their neophytes start believeing them and then they pile on.........OK......end of rant......

Hell you should have mowed mine while you were down. GEEZE.

Checking in late today due to heavy work pressure D-League. Looks like you fellas are cooking along as per usual.

I did see one piece of good news on a Cats blog: The hideous checkerboard uniforms are apparently going to be phased out for basketball before next year. Those damn things were cursed.

Talked by phone again today to a woman today working for the Red Cross on the Ukrainian border. Ugly scene getting worse there, so far, especially for older folks reluctant initially to leave the only homes they ever knew.

Vito Tisdale out for the season with a knee injury. Torn ACL and Meniscus. Season ending sounds premature since this is only March. Must be torn up pretty bad.
