I used to know a guy who was in one of those hardcore biker clubs. He had a really nice looking Honda chopper. They said get a Harley or get out. He rode his Harley off the side of a mountain in the Rockies while drunk. It killed him.

I cannot tell you my childhood and the vileness I had to deal with just to live. God's grace is real and God's hand is Devine. I don't think or hope for a God, I KNOW there is a God. No way should I be here typing... I am thankful...

I can relate. When I came home from Viet Nam, I had a hard time coping till the Lord convinced me of the error of my ways. After a bad day, I can still hear and see memories I don't want. My job was to protect people and sometimes it wasn't possible. Jan woke me up the other night and said I was kicking and screaming no. I told her I didn't remember what it was about, but I was dreaming I was in a railroad car and there were some Vietnamese behind me, including a 19 year old girl who worked for us. I was trying to protect them from Viet Cong who had opened the door and coming in, but I was helpless.
 
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.
We hang out in PM's in the winter......before WuFlu.......I have seen that person........You know bertfan31,....it might have been the only person he has had conversation with in a while.....I have several items I have been on the search for............you are right it is more fun when you have a cause.....
 


Morning Legionnaires!

Back to the water today for more fishing. Temperature right now in the low 50's and supposed to go down to the mid 40's until about 0830 or so then starts going back up. Moderate to medium winds (10-20 mph for here) so bank fishing will be the order of the day.

Nothing else follows............................................................
 
This is what a service station looks like. Oh how I miss them.

For this to be a perfect example of a service station.......there should be a big stack of Coca-Cola Cases......at one time Standard would give a 6 pack of the 6-1/2 oz size bottles for a fill up or 8 gals.....so you would have to put about $1.50-$2.00 worth of gas in your vehicle to get the free cokes......we never got the cokes........the old man would put 50 cents worth of gas and two quarts of recycled oil in his old 51 Ford pick up.....
 
Good morning! Supposed to be cold and windy outside. I'll take their word for it.

@Sawnee Cat I've worked at Crystal River before. I liked that area. Also worked at St. Lucie on the other side of your state. Never made it to the one in Miami. Turkey Point.

UNC passed us in all time wins a while back but then they fell on hard times and we took the lead again. Kansas won't have it that long. They've played more seasons than we have but we have a higher win percentage. That should count for something.

Listened to Jerry Eaves yesterday and he said that he wasn't officially on Payne's staff, but he was telling him to call Dontae Allen immediately and get him to Louisville. Swell. They'll make T-shirts about it.

@Bert Higginbotha glad you guys ate that bread. That was about the ryest rye bread I've ever eaten. You know I love a good rye.
Mmmmmmmm.......Linker's Rye Bread.........it was my favorite bread.......
 
The Cats are losing a lot of records that have been on the books for many years. I guess it is time to re-write the media guides and take out records that are no longer held by UK.

The Cats can also take out the Gold Standard talk and we are special and we are this and that. That is history now. A lot of UK fans seemed unconcerned so I guess it doesn't matter any more.

Of the ones saying it doesn't matter anymore, I would love to know their age. I would guess most, if not all are probably below 35.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 60°F and clear. Expecting 89°F for our high.

Visited emergency vet clinic again last night and stayed there for over 5 hours. Pup still not eating. Possible pancreatitis, but unsure. Pup stayed there overnight. Vet office just called and said pup acting much better after more medication. She's eating and holding food down. This has all been an expensive nightmare so far.

And then there were six. May watch a few more games today. Both my teams lost yesterday.

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

This my favorite Spanish cuisine and in my top 5 favorite of all cuisines. I prefer it with seafood and chorizo with a touch of saffron for coloring.
 
Most likely Kansas and UNC to round out the final four. Yukkiest.
This would be a nightmare. Of those four I would have to pull for the Villanova Wildcats and if they don't do it, then Kansas or UNC in that order. Just stop Duke. The 2022 NCAA Finals may be my least favorite of my lifetime.

If I were to fill out a bracket with the worst possible outcome this would have been it. Especially if Duke wins it all.
That may be the way I fill out my bracket next year for the big bucks. Just put in the opposite of what I think will happen. Can't be worse.

See below...
Yeah, I'm also pulling for Nova. Somehow I just knew Duke would make FF. Seemed predetermined by higher powers (cough cough CBS + NCAA).
We can probably go back in this thread and see where it was said as soon as K announced his retirement that Duke would win the tournament. Just like they did for Wooden.

I had a Triumph with ape hanger handlebars in the late 60s. Loved the sound of that bike. The Harley guys didn't sneer at me nearly as much as they did the Jap bike riders.
 
Good afternoon, D-League!

Sun's a shinin but somebody musta bumped the "winter" button last week. 42° and on our way to NOT WARM. Not happy about it at all.

Since basketball is over, though, I'm excited about UK football once more. Gonna see if I can get into a practice or two somehow. I'm currently enjoyin time with my daughter watching the "baby cows" passing out in the pastures after their milkshake lunches.

Slept like a bear the past 2 days. May be ready to get sore again by tomorrow morning.
 
I honestly believe the 1970's had the worst fashion, EVER

I can remember kids making fun of me in grade school because I would wear blue jeans to school. I was also one of a few who were wearing tennis shoes to school at that time. Chuck Taylors and proud of em! By the time I was in the 8th grade I was wearing bib overalls to school.

Not too proud to admit I had a couple of shirts that had snap buttons, but I never owned a pair of bell bottomed pants!

In 1962 my uncle got out of the Navy.....he was really short and I was really tall.....I got all of his "deck pants"........they made me wear those dammed things to school......had a big button flap on the front and the bell bottoms were bigger than the waist.........I was several years early on the style change.....I also had some lovely shirts to wear with them........ my mom had made off of a blouse pattern.....had 1-1/2" red candy stripes on it.......the damn thing probably made people dizzy to look at it......and she made me two of them with the same cloth and same pattern........I got a lot of fashion advice from the other kids........
 
I was just reading about 4 homeless people being killed by a driver who left the road. Why? Why are there homeless people who stand a chance of being hit by a car? I often lump all homeless people together because the ones I've encountered, and dealt with, were usually just drunks wanting me to help fund their party. I always tell them that they've chosen a lifestyle they can't afford.

If we would have dealt with the homeless back when it was an anomaly and not a normality, then it wouldn't be a problem now. I say that without knowing percentages. Maybe the same amount of people have always been homeless. Maybe that's just the way life works.

Regardless, there are a lot of people out there that don't have the mental faculty and physical ability to work for a living. If we are a "society", then we need to care for these people. I would like to know the percentage of homeless who are unable, compared to those who are unwilling. I believe that would help to steer public opinion and government intervention quite a bit.

One thing is for sure, as long as we tolerate a government that promotes this type of behavior and results, it can only get worse. If broke don't fix itself, it gets more broke. Nothing constant but change.
 
Not a banner day fishing but not skunked either. Hooked 2 and landed 1. The first one got away because I was in a hurry to cast out and was rigging my hook up quickly without making sure my knot was tightened securely. When I hooked into what felt like a lunker (sometimes small ones fight good though) it was a good fight but the knot apparently came undone and it got away. Below is one that did not although I put in back in the pond after taking the picture.
