The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home. 34.3°F on its way to 61°. I am supposed to mow today and we are to get a new toilet in the guest room out back. The old one cracked.

Good morning D-League. 37f during my long hike this morning.
I saw the beaver that makes occasional appearances in the pond a short distance from my house today —or a beaver. This guy seemed bigger and was more Auburn haired. It is odd that you’ll see them for a few days then they disappear for months at a time. The pond is connected to a creek that runs a few miles to a huge lake where you can see beaver dams at all times, so I guess occasionally one strays up the creek to our pond.
Also saw an Osprey, hawks and a large great blue heron, so a busy spring morning at the pond.
Hope all is well for everyone.

There are no good deals to be found. From what I'm reading, buyers can't haggle much with the dealers, if at all. Also, you'd be amazed at the asking prices for used cars. Cars with over 150,000 miles going for top dollar. No way will I buy a high milage auto.
Good morning D-League from a cool Washington DC.
That's sound advice but program cars aren't always easy to find especially now. I just want a safe, dependable car with relatively low milage. Point A to Point B functionality. My wife drives maybe 50 miles/week. We can walk to most places so our driving habits are minimal.
Have a good time!Good morning D-League from a cool Washington DC.
The only interest I have in today's Final 4 matchups is whether or not Duke and Kansas lose. I can't believe I'm pulling for UNC today. Three of my most despised teams are still alive. In order of disgust:
1) Louisville
2) Duke
3) North Carolina
4) Kansas
5) UCLA
Indiana is no longer a top 5 because they're meaningless.

Awesome. Enjoy. Have fun and safe travels.Good morning D-League from a cool Washington DC.
Good morning from ATX. It's truly a good morning. Pup ate about 3 ounces boiled chicken last night and roughly 2 ounces same this morning. No vomiting. She seems more attentive, active and feeling like her old self. Fingers crossed. She's back at the vet this morning for more IV fluids. I pick her up at 1:30 pm CST.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

None of them but was a pretty fair hand at double pinochle in the day.
That is my game. Double pinochle and bridge are my card games.
Good morning D-League from a cool Washington DC.
We've walked in the same steps for sure at one point. I have that picture and a bunch of others I took. Have fun.
We used to play pinochle and rook.........we play dominoes a lot.....we have dbbl 6's all the way up to dbbl 18's we will have games that will last a week or more.....we don't use the dinning room table for anything else.......
I miss the family card games we enjoyed growing up. My favorite was Rook. I haven't played cards in 30 years or more.
Ritchie ate that whole Rueben and then blew up your toilet. I'll accept partial responsibility.
Sounds golden.
I am going to send him the bill! 😁
I not confident at all things can get better anytime soon either.
I bought an attorney's Lincoln all wheel drive SUV for my wife that was a trade in at Hertz with an extended warranty but not my work truck. After searching a year, found what I wanted in a work truck from Texas that had been in cal storage (Low mileage) because it couldn't pass CA. environmental regs.

Pretty creepy list so I thought I'd pile on:
6) Tennessee
7) Indiana/Ohio St. (cant tell the difference between a buckeye & a hoosier)
9) All UK's SEC smelly low down good for nothing competitors.
10) Arizona just because they hate UK Basketball and fans threw beer bottles at Oregon cheerleaders

I tried that once, but my wife got pissed because I told her I wasn't playing.Old Maid is about as bold as I have gotten with playing cards.
I am thinking about selling my 2012 Mazda once we move. I used it as my commuter car since we moved here until covid. I bought it new for my daughter before we went to Korea so I wouldn't worry about her having car troubles. Got in that hail storm in SA (I know Austin remembers, I think 2013 or 2014). Anyway USAA totaled it and I bought it back. It has a junk title and I think 76k miles now but it is a good car. ($75.00 a year for taxes versus nearly $300.00 for the Camry.) I'd drive it to Alaska now (I'd say California but I want no part of that place.)
My Darling wants me to sell her 2015 Camry but it has 47k miles on it now and it is a lot larger than the Mazda. The Mazda has the Skyactiv engine and I am told it is a great engine. No troubles.
My wife's Camry didn't pass inspection yesterday. (Have a cracked windshield I have to get fixed now... sigh...)
Was thinking of buying the new Highlander extended version once we get moved into a cheaper tax area.
Good morning D-League from a cool Washington DC.
The last time I was in DC JFK was the president. I visited his residence.
Good afternoon, D-League!
I've been out of town and avoiding social media as much as possible. Hope everyone is doing well.
My friends in IL and WI are enjoying an April blizzard, so things are pretty good at 59° here.

My wife grew up in a very strict religious home. Regular playing cards were forbidden but Old Maid was allowed. Since we retired she likes to play the slots a couple of times a year. She'll only risk $20. She was ahead about $300-400 at one time but hasn't won in a long time but is still ahead. If she gets $20 ahead, she quits. Loses her $20, she quits.
I was a total heathen before I met her. But like that notorious killer of women and children and just about everything else that walked on two legs, William Munny, after he met his wife Claudia "I ain't the same, Ned. Claudia, she straightened me up. Cleared me of drinking whiskey and all. Just 'cause we're going on this killing, that don't mean I'm gonna go back to being the way I was. I just need the money."
Loved playing Rook. Introduced to that game when I moved here. Used to play every weekend. Haven't played much in 20 myself.
With good KY folk it's well worth it. Played Rook against and then with a WW2 veteran back in the early 90s. Told me things about the war that I never knew. He and his wife were from MacGoffin County and somethin special.
Played dominoes a time or two and enjoyed it but not sure if I really know how to play at all.
Sound like a politician...with that my friend stuff.

Sir, my Dad never allowed cards in the house.
I don't know this to be fact but I've heard from multiple sources that before I was even a cockerel, me and my twin cousin "Sweet Baby Dumplin" 's first beers were stolen from family playing card games setting their beers on the floor. They were all relieved after we had enough and went to sleep.

If discipline is required, I don't ever feel bad. Better he learned it from you than wound up dead for biting the wrong person.
I'm not watching the game. Just can't do it but I'm keeping up with the score. Kansas up 11 at half. And the nightmare continues.... Still a half to play.
I need a front bumper cover for My Darlings car... No way.. "Out of Stock"... Been since our snow I think in early January.
All I've done today is watch Mecum auction on tv and forage for food. I did go outside one time to help get groceries in. I don't feel like I've missed a thing.
Oh man you missed a classic. Gujarat Titans beat the Delhi Capitals in a classic cricket match. Damn the Indian Premier League never disappoints.
Kansas in the final. Well hell. So should I pull for UNC? One more title and they're only 1 away from UK. Should I pull for Kansas? Just passed us in victories, although UK has a better winning percentage. Or should I pull for Duke? Coach K's farewell and possible 6th title. No good outcome but Kansas only has 3 titles. No way do I want the rat to win. Kansas it is. Sh@t!
Go Kansas! They aren't going to hold the record for long.
I don't like where we are right now with UK basketball, but we've all seen worse and each time we've came back. We'll come back this time too, with or without Cal.
