Officially destroys my last bracket. Happy to hear it though.
...and a little larger than a spinach seed
Good morning from ATX. Currently 44°F and clear. Weatherman just said we expect 85°F for our high. Meh, we'll take it.
Remember the kid whose truck flipped over by tornado and he nevertheless drove off? Chevy dealer in Fort Worth plans on giving his family a new red pickup. Heh, good for them.
Duke beat Texas Tech last night. Bah.
Happy Friday!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
Was hoping TT would come up big. Disappointing
Good Friday morning D League
I received a call last night from my granddaughter with word U.S. Representative Andy Barr of Lexington, KY called her to say he made an appointment on her behalf to the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. She will graduate from high school and report in mid June.
She is the first on my side of the family that will serve in the Air Force, my folks were all Navy and Army. But my wife's side has quite a few Air Force veterans.
Our family prayers will be with her as she ventures out into the Wild Blue Yonder. Congrats young lady.
Congratulations to you and to your granddaughter! That's huge!
Great news about your GD! You should be proud.Good Friday morning D League

I've almost resigned myself to the fact that Coach K is getting another title. Arizona and Gonzaga lose and Kansas is the last #1 seed remaining. Duke has 3 first round picks including 2 lottery and a solid 2nd rounder. To make things worse it's very likely that there will be a Duke/UNC matchup in the Final 4. Just shoot me now.
We could see it coming as soon as he announced he would no longer run through the maze for cheese. That's just one reason I'm not watching any of the tournament. The fix is in, so I'm out
We all know Duke was given the easy path to the final 4. Their region was the easiest by a long shot. Not subtle at all. Duke UNC F4 was the aim from the beginning. They split their games this year during the season and a rubber match is worth many millions to the people who make many millions off of sports.
What the hell is going on with my weather? 50° today, 44° tomorrow! It's almost like the weather and the climate does whatever it wants to do, whenever it wants to do it, and it doesn't matter what Man wants or does. I think we should pass a law. That works great for everything else.

Y'all are making interesting comments about the NCAA tournament. I admit I tore mine up when UK failed to show up and threw it away. It would be painful to watch so I have not followed it.
I am convinced those in charge are pushing for Duke to take the trophy.

We have 67° and sunshine, our high will be a mild 71° and a nice breeze. Pass a law.
We don't get above 50° until Tuesday and that's only 56°. Supposed to hit 78° on Wednesday though. Woohoo! Then it's right back down to the 50's for about a week. I got all the typical I need, I want some tropical.
Congrats to her. Way to go girl.Good Friday morning D League

A cool 44.6°F and overcast day here and topping out at 53°.
I enjoyed the Arkansas game but went to bed before the Duke game was over. I got up too early yesterday morning.
I hope the powers lose but I agree with Ymmot that they will probably try to force a Duke championship.
The selection committee really did a poor job this year.

Rooster I guess you are getting a lot of heat this week?
Friend the fact is.........she has you trained so well that you think you have her trained.......I can't explain it completely but.......it happens once you have been married a while....... one day you wake up and realize you've been had...........I remember the day clearly for myself....I decided I didn't care and rolled back over and went back to sleep.....
Morning Legionnaires!
35° this morning with a high in the mid 60's and moderate winds. Tomorrow will get up to mid 70's as will Saturday. Light winds at about 5 MPH for both days. That is rare and good kayak fishing weather. Wife took tomorrow off and wants to go shopping. I showed her the weather for the next 2 days and her next response was "Take me to work today and pick me up afterwards so we can shop tonight." Heh, heh, he, I've got her trained.
I hope all of you are well minus the grief of this so called program that is UK.
In any event the sun did come up the day after. Having some rough situations but they are not life threatening so far so they are not worth complaining about.
The good news is last nights supper...
The most horrible news is...
At the least this country should strive for this again!!!
I'd state I am back but I really never left. Just shut up versus griping and complaining.....
God Bless you all and your families... For YOU, I am thankful!

I assume you're looking for weather update. This sunny weekend daily highs lower 90s lows in lower 60s. Stormy Tuesday in the 60s and potential for maybe a quarter of an inch. Wednesday sun and temps return to normals between mid 70s to mid 50s. Glorius weather for us as good as it gets.

Howdee! Back home safe and sound again. Well, I'm safe. Bought some more pieces for the shelves I was going to build. I say "was" because now it has turned into a large cabinet with doors. I'll go to Lowes and pick up some hinges this weekend. I like to use those soft close hinges, seems civilized.
I almost stopped and got something to eat while I was out and then I remembered there was some ham in the fridge. I knew I had some swiss cheese and a few slices of rye bread left. Threw on some lettuce and a couple of slices of tomato along with some homemade mayo. I could get fat on those!

See what our grandpas had to put up with. Take a little nip and you get no lovin'. These gals meant business.
If it weren't for alcohol, I doubt any of those would have done much lip touching. Maybe with each other.
Just read where a lot of people are complaining about Chet Holmgren fouling out last night. I'm so tired of the idiots they hire to talk over the game who don't know the rules. That semi-circle under the basket is there for a reason. So Chet couldn't do what he was doing. He was not the primary defender. Verticality means nothing in that situation. He was the secondary defender and all he has to do is touch the offensive player while he's going up for a shot. I wonder how many times he's done that this year and not been called for it?
Hate to say it, but Doug Shows got that one right.
The semi-circle is also known as the restricted zone. The circle signifies the line where players can and cannot pick up a charge. If someone is trying to pick up a charge and is standing inside the semi-circle (or closer to the basket), then they are inside the restricted zone and will not pick up a charge, but rather a foul, having the other player involved shooting free throws. If the person is outside the restricted zone, then the person gets the charge and the other player picks up the foul.

They's a lie...😉
Some fibbers, that's for sure. I had a bottle of this and it didn't last long but created lots of giggles among the wives, sisters & daughters.
They quit bottling this bourbon, but the bottle seems to have magic. Never gets empty. The ladies vanish, Then off in the distance, howls & giggles. I eat & be merry convinced someone in my tree must have been deaf, dumb and blind.

Didn't Andy Dufrene have it too?
I could party with the swigging blond in front.Back from the pub. Great time. We held this event in memory of our beloved Shirley, the lovely lady standing 2nd from right. Totally selfless. She retired in 2020, age 70, and moved from TX to be close to her mother in Maryland. Passed away last week. Her mom is 96. Amazing lady. She always put others ahead of herself. Understood mainframe computing like no other. Really miss her. Photo taken by me on Christmas Eve, 2016.
Just WOW !!
I spent my later evening watching the USA-Mexico World Cup qualifier match. Wound up cero-cero. We had the better chances but blew two point blank shots.
I had a great day today! I was happy and in a good mood, and you know what? Each and every person I met today was in a good mood too. I just counted up 7 people that I talked to today for longer than a minute. I had a conversation with them. Each one of them ended with both of us smiling and going on about our lives.
One that stands out was an older feller who was wearing a Vietnam War cap. We were looking at the same table and I remarked to him that my family had that same table in the early 60's. He told me that he and his wife had had that table as well. He was disheveled, but not dirty. He had several days of beard and not a tooth in his head, but he had stuff to say and I had time to listen.
We did a couple of rows together and I told him about my father and I doing this very thing. He seemed happy to help me look for speakers and I know the feeling. Piddler malls are more fun when you are on a scavenger hunt for that one thing.
We found some speakers but none of them were appropriate for a golf cart. I knew I wouldn't find any, but the fun is in the hunt.
He told me he comes there often because he doesn't live far. I hope I see him again.

No lips, no problem.See what our grandpas had to put up with. Take a little nip and you get no lovin'. These gals meant business.
St. Peters with BLM shirts. UGH! Who do you pull for, UNC or UCLA. I guess I'll hold my nose and hope UCLA wins.
I've got a bluetooth speaker now. I've purchased a powered head unit and need passive speakers. Can go down to 4 ohm. Head unit is 4 channel but I'll bridge it to 2. I have 2 6.5" drivers now that I can build a simple enclosure for that will fit my cart. Looks like that's the plan. For now.
My God, St. Peters just beat Purdue to advance to the Final 8. Did the world stop spinning? The stars are aligning for a Duke title. Kansas in a tight one too. Damn.

If, St. Peters wins the NC. Then, is it a bad loss? Can we not say that it wouldn't have mattered if we played them in the first game, or the fifth? Just mental jello. Duke will win the 2022 NC and K will forever be absolved of being one of the biggest pieces of shit in history.
Kansas/Duke in the title game. How bad does that suck? Or Kansas/UNC. Either way it's bad. Now I'm kind of pulling for Villanova. Maybe, just maybe Arkansas pulls off the upset tomorrow night. Oh wait, UCLA in the picture too. Arghhhhhh! Go Houston.
I watched a few games at Bert's house on that Friday, but I haven't watched a second since then. I don't want Duke to win, but I've prepared myself for that scenario. I'm fine with it. It has absolutely no impact on my life whatsoever. I'll deal with it like a storm. It comes, it goes, it's gone.
