I didn't buy the reciever......I didn't know...
I was walking a 40 ft ladder in a atrium we was working on downtown.....it felt like I had lost my balance and I threw my weight back at the ladder....when it smacked back into the wall it hit my wedding band and smashed it on my finger............ by the time I got the the bottom of the ladder it was swollen and blue........it had to be cut off....I lost my first wedding band a week or so after I was married......I have never wore another since.....
Good morning! Had a heck of a time on the golf course yesterday. Wind got up early and was relentless by the time we were done. Must have been a few 50mph gusts. most of the big ones were in the 40mph range though. Managed to shoot an 83. On my way up there soon to figure out the scores. Doubt I won anything this week.
@awf I've got a couple of old school Polk bookshelf speakers you can have if you'd like them. I'll bring them when we get together for lunch with 82.
@UK82 I just looked at the weather for the 9th and the high is supposed to be 58°. It will be more like a Fall game than a Spring game.

Hope your finger and hand get healed soon Austin.
It is a cloudy 46.8°F here. We are supposed to get to 52°. We had a windy day yesterday and last night and it is still gusting pretty good now. We ended up with .78" of rain.

That link was to the most recent 6 hour GOES loop of the United States cloud cover. Below is an upgraded link of the past 20 hrs & yes it shows the storm progression across the southeast. The maximum loop on this publicly available. I used their data for years. A valuable tool if you figure how to use it. 20 hour GOES CONUS LOOP
I hope DeSantis doesn't let up on Disney & I hope other FL state officials speak up too.
What has Trump had to say? Thanks.
Some billboards near the Disney entrance ripping them would be nice.
@UK82.

DeSantis has proven in the past he will not cave. He refused to shut down schools when the entire nation was closing. Several powerful and wealthy businesses consider DeSantis an enemy but he is a champion to the people. Disney sees him as someone in their way of supporting the thing most important to them. More and more Democrats are supporting him. Over 52% of Florida Democrats support this bill. So a majority of Democrat parents do not want this agenda taught to their children.
DeSantis is not alone on the issue. In fact he did not suggest or author the legislation. But he made it clear he would sign it and his wife, Casey and mother of three small children was a huge supporter.
I am not sure where Trump stands on it. If he has spoken out I have not heard it. Maybe he considers it a state issue and is leaving it up to Floridians.
I like your idea of billboards near Disney World. You know that is coming. There will be a huge movement against them in our state. Look for it as it is already starting. Disney is wearing out their welcome. Finally

It's not just Disney. It's not just Florida. It's a Smallworld after all. The reason it appears the freaks are in charge is there is some truth to that with the "NO limit" lunatics of "Frisco" integrated with capitalistic/corporate nerds of "Silicon Valley" and I'm really unsure how much. We know from life, there is balance of growth and survival. We all get to decern truth from fantasy. Time has always been too short to know the answer. I've been around long enough to believe it's wisdom that's lacking.
Below are examples of Raymond Scott's work. Was he part of the problem? He obviously provoked the nature of man?

Kind of like President Trump. He was an unknown quantity when he first ran. (Key word, "was"...) My prayer is for many more just like President T and Governor D!!!
Oh, Hello all! Have a great day!
Trying not to be too political for the D. As a life long Democrat, I have not voted for any since Obama got the nomination for his 1st run 2007. Not a single one for any thing. Still won't as long as the leaders are completely void of competency. I generally vote for them Rs because the Ds suck on just about everything.
Good afternoon D-League.
First, Bernie I'm sorry to hear about your friend Dennis and will keep him in my prayers.
I'm fascinated by the radicalization of Disney. That company has had a bottom line built on the wallets of Conservative Americans since way before I was born. Do they really think they can alienate that segment of the population and not suffer any economic consequences?
I was lucky when my kids were little. My wife's parents had retired to Ft. Myers and we could send the kids down for a summer visit and they would take them to Disney World -- something that I had no real interest in doing but probably would have just so the kids wouldn't miss out. But how many families throughout the south and Midwest are going to make that sacrifice to go to a place that doesn't share their values?
I notice their stock is down about 22 percent since November. The whole market is down somewhat, but the company seems to be under-performing the rest of the economy. Maybe that's for reasons unrelated to their gender politics. I guess time will tell.

Thanks. You make it clear & obvious that RD is head & shoulders better than Trump.
I was a life-long Democrat too - till I reached 25.
Disney has always been part of our holidays because of the wholesome nature of the Disney brand. It is gone like the Wahoo Bobcat (stored in a few boxes for now)
Me too on the politics (I cherish the sanctity of this place (The D-League).), I just brought them up to contrast nearly ALL the rest. There are a few but not nearly enough that will face down the loud mouths ("Ignant" loud mouths on both sides.)
I love your comment. Let's do it starting with me.
Getting back to the spirit of the D League our weather is nice but windy. We have 81° and about 6:00 PM the rains will come and get heavy by midnight bringing in a cold front over night. We need the rain.
Just went to a "Farewell" party for a female co-worker that was, to say the least, bizarre.
She had warned me she planned to be "a little risque" but told me to be sure and show up -- it'll be funny.
When its her turn to talk, she tells this long anecdote about going on a business trip a couple years back with a man on the staff to Las Vegas -- now that part was completely true and everyone knew that.
But then she starts into this long story about how the guy started pressuring her for sex, but she put him off by saying she didn't believe in sex before marriage -- so he took her to one of the quickie wedding chapels and they "got married" -- even though both are already married. She then implied they had a hot weekend together before getting the marriage "annulled."
I'm standing next to the guy while this is unfolding and he was white as a sheet. I swear I could hear the blood drumming in his temples.
She finishes by saying -- "That's all just a joke, by the way - I really had you all going!" So now she's leaving and everybody is going to half assume the story was true about a married guy. What the hell...
I had taken this woman out for a farewell lunch earlier in the week, and I was just waiting for another "joke story" about us ending up in a motel...I'd already decided I'd interrupt her and say, "sorry, but don't disrespect my wife." But luckily she didn't go there.
Never try to be Joan Rivers in a going away speech. Thank everybody, say its been a pleasure working with great people, and sit the hell down.

That's because we are round, can see the grass is always brighter on the other side of the fence and liked to eat before we understood that 555 nm sensitivity really mattered. I am very appreciative that the original solar powered deal deal was sealed before the animals crawled out.

Sawnee -I don't know if you ever listen to podcasts, but there is one I've been listening to on my iPhone off and on for awhile called "The History of Rock in 500 Songs." It's by a Brit named Andrew Hickey.
I mention it because he does an entire episode on Rosetta Tharpe and the song "This Train" and its place in proto-rock history. Pretty interesting. It's Episode 5 of what is planned to be 500...
Good afternoon! Not much of a day for me. Didn't win anything. Highlight of my day so far has been a couple of chicken thighs from the grocery store deli. They were too salty.
Don't know him but I'd sure like to visit. I'd also recommend Magnetic Tape And Recorder on Preston Highway. They sell and repair stereo equipment. Very knowledgeable.
Football weather!
I might head over to that flea market on Saturday. I've never been. I did spend some time and money in that area back in the 80's though.
The flea market in Simpsonville has become a Little Mexico over the years. Wouldn't doubt that one is the same.
If you ever need huge speakers with flashing lights all over them, Simpsonville flea market is the place to go.
I spent a bunch of nights on 7th street.......as they say, " I spent money like a drunken sailor on weekend shore leave"........my favorite watering holes of the day were along that strip.....the flea market wasn't there and I remember it still being use by B&W as tobacco warehouses...
Get Warren Buffet's RR off the D-League! 😁
Should have walked up and .............slapped her in the face....
I won't go into some escapades I have had but suffice it to say. My Darling and my time together has been over a few decades as I know many of yours have been much longer than mine and My Darlings.
As I have told my wife (Not trying to down her in any way.) but any woman running after me is either a lunatic or has aids. (They don't know me like my Darling does.) I keep that mindset.
And another thing I have used a couple times when I was unfortunate to be confronted in this type of awkward manner. I complimented the lady and stated they were lovely or something like that but I asked them to understand something, My Darling had given me decades of herself. It would take at least those decades again for me to hurt my Darling in this type of manner. I asked them to please understand. I did things apologetically as to hope that it would be the end of it.
(Three years in Korea made me understand the depths of low some will go to.) I run from that and as quick as I can.
One thing I am thankful for now. I work from home. Rarely are my Darling and I far apart unless we are at a church function or bible study where the genders are separate. I guess some could accuse me but it will surely be hard to prove.
Have a great evening,
Oh give a thought and a prayer for me and My Darling. We are looking at a house in the morning that we are seriously considering making an offer to purchase. House purchasing now as you know is stupidly crazy. (I have a license and do this part time but mostly for our use in purchasing or selling and to help my children as needed.) The Lord will give us what he wants us to have. Bless you all...
I will stop the book report now....

Read today that Will Smith was asked to leave after he slapped CR. He refused to go. Also read that the police are still contemplating charges. This gift might keep on giving because CR said he hasn't had time to rationalize everything yet but that he would be talking about it in his future sets and that it will be serious and funny.
I hope CR starts talking about that dumbass Jayden Smith as well.

Will Smith, estimated net worth of 350 million, his wife 50 million. Chris Rock 60 million. Just thought I'd throw that out there. No reason.
Sir,
That was the intent. Then the Booger Butt and Little Booger came along and they aren't moving as of now. We may still move later but for now if it works out we will stay here a while. I can move anywhere I want to move now within the states. What I will very probably do is sell the house I live in as the price is good and high right now (Though my Darling wants to rent it. I don't. We have some good equity in this place and no capital gains to worry about.) and get us out of the stairs as the house we are looking at is in an over 55 community. (Gets us out of Fairfax county to into Price William County where the taxes are lower. Closer to BB and Little B too by three or four miles. May be too close to the daughters though.)
We thought of moving to our house in South Carolina but just not enough there that would make it good for my Darling. Florida is a consideration too with our son being there but now that is a future thought.
Who knows how it will work out. We are open-minded but these townhome stairs are not fun.
So when will CR sue WS and even up those wealth numbers?
Good Morning all,
A wet day but that's okay... We shall see, we shall see, we shall see...
Have a great day!

Good morning D
They forecast heavy rain and we got it. Current temperature is 68° and we will climb to 77°.
Remember what today is and don't get fooled. And no Tiger Woods is not going to play in the Masters
Have a good one
