Arky takes down the Zags. At least something might be salvageable from this miserable post-season. Go Hogs! Hate to say that. Now I'm hoping Duke, UNC, Kansas and UCLA go down.
Officially destroys my last bracket. Happy to hear it though.

The people thinking Biden was going to be better than Trump had an IQ smaller than my shoe size.
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.

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.

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.Was hoping TT would come up big. Disappointing

We have 67° and sunshine, our high will be a mild 71° and a nice breeze. Pass a law.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.
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.We have 67° and sunshine, our high will be a mild 71° and a nice breeze. Pass a law.
Congrats to her. Way to go girl.Good Friday morning D League

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 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.Rooster I guess you are getting a lot of heat this week?
See what our grandpas had to put up with. Take a little nip and you get no lovin'. These gals meant business.

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's a lie...😉
Didn't Andy Dufrene have it too?This same exact pic was taped up on my dresser next to my bed. Indeed a woman. Mama mia. Delicious.
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 !!Congrats to her. Way to go girl.
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.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.

Here's your next project.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.
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.Are you looking for permanent speakers or portable speakers?

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.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.
