D-League

Hey BBUK - not sure exactly what the issue is, but sometimes I get busy and “like” a bunch of posts without scrutinizing them. Usually on here it is the same bunch of guys I respect so I’m not risking anything just to indicate my general approval.

But it looks like there has been some tension on the board so let me state for the record I was not intending to endorse any attacks or criticism of guys I’ve come to be fond of as part of D-League.

If I get time I’ll go back and review what’s been happening.

No biggie, just me I guess but if I like something, I like it.

I'm also sometimes guilty of liking a post with only a quick glance at it when I'm busy. I feel like I was invited into someone's home when I made my first post here. When I noticed the guy was being a pest, I noted people should be treated with respect here and then figured the best policy was ignore to see if he would go away. I skipped over all posts for awhile, so I probably missed some good posts, but I figured answering him was what he wanted from people.
 
Things I've seen or read about today...

Matt Jones is having a drag party/contest or whatever at his bar on May 1st. There is a 5 page thread about it from last night on the Paddock. Why? I'll tell you what concerns me more than that...that "E" they put at the end of grill in their name. KSBar and Grille. Drop the e.

"NUCLEAR DEVICE MISSING...As soon as I saw the picture I knew what the device was. Most would not have a clue. I have happened to use one in my travels. They contain a very small amount of radioactive material and you would have to go well out of your way to release any of it. It would take tools and effort to get it out.

They are warning people to stay away from it and to not touch it. I looked at the comments and saw people talking about Proud Boys building a bomb and questions about could an IED be turned into a nuclear "dirty bomb' with this thing. Yet another reason why we can't have nice things. Too many people allow the media to think for them. Speaking of that...

Another black man who resisted and then fought with a police officer ended up on the business end of a 9mm. I saw the video. I know what happened. Once again we have video that would be perfect for showing people how not to act if you are pulled over. Instead, the media wants us to think the officer caused the incident. The people who attempt to monetize this kind of thing are much worse than the officer. They're worse than the dead idiot.

There were just a couple of us liking posts years ago. It is a great way to keep track of where you left off.

The next time someone comes here for anything other than joining in a productive manner, I suggest we just put that person on ignore and go on about our business. We've all made it through quite a bit in our lives and I'm sure we can handle this kind of pestilence without involving the adults.

I put the person in question on ignore a couple of years ago. He was attacking Austin and Warrior Cat so I zapped him.
 
Morning folks, a cloudy 51.8°F go up to 65° with a small chance of rain. My company got here last night from Cape Cod. We had a wonderful chat with her over some wine. She will be here for about a week and spend most of the days with two of her children that live in Bowling Green and Hiseville.

Arizona company tonight and steaks are planned.

You all have a good Saturday.
The AZ folks - are they driving there? Where are they from in AZ?

I get up early and listen to a local radio show from 6 AM to 9 AM. Our local sheriff is interviewed for about 30 minutes a couple of times a week. Also sheriff's in surrounding counties appear on the show several times a week.

All of the sheriffs are very instructive on what to do if you are pulled over by a deputy. The first thing is tell them if you are carrying a fire arm. Even if you have a carry permit, tell them. The second thing is if you decide to use force to resist you are taking your life into your own hands. If you go to the extreme and pull a firearm on a deputy or try to take his firearm he is trained to kill you. And he will.

Now as a resident of this area I understand this so there are no questions . I know. If a person does not know then that too is their fault because the word it out. They should have been informed and paid attention.
 
The story always turns back to "it was a minor offense". Yes it was, until the idiot thought he didn't need to abide by the rules in place to provide a civilized society for the rest of us.

CIVILIZED LIVES MATTER!

Those 2 men were both fighting for their lives. The good guy won.
 
This little spot brings back memories. I was attending Summer Camp at Levi Jackson State Park in London and a group of us boys decided to go over and check it out. The thing I remember most is a little girl got bit by a monkey and screamed and hollered for about 10 minutes.

This is how I remembered it. Dog Patch has a little gift shop off of I-75 now at one of the London exits. I last visited it about 15 years ago. I reckon it is still around.
What I remember most was a monkey masturbating in front of the crowd and all the screaming that came with it.
 
No traveling plans. I was hoping to find someone to bring me back a case of Luck's Pinto Beans if they had room.in their car. Can't get them out here
One of these guys ( @Bert Higginbotha ) can send you a private message and get your address. He'll give it to me over the phone and I will then mail you a case of Luck's Pinto Beans. That's how things work.
 
Probably me and I apologize to the D for that. He and I had many arguments. He has followed me to other places in the past. I guess to be the best he has to try and take down the best. News flash, he isn't good enough.
You're fine . I know I have little to zero concern with anything that occurred. I'm not likely to subsidize and feed the starving beast. Who needs a pest? . . . A lonely pest.
OK, you just happened upon this thread. Did you read any of it? Before we go any further though, I should tell you that I'm the least of your problems here. I agree with certain points you made earlier. Everyone here does. We are not a fringe element. We are about 1200 years of collective experience.

I'm sure you are a well traveled, well read individual. If you are who I think you are, then you should have no problem in redeeming yourself and winning over the group.

Welcome aboard!
Did he gain composure, get lost or get tossed. Not worried just curious how things work.
Still the greatest cooking tool since the discovery of fire. We had pan seared trout tonight and it was fabulous.

I've never been a policeman in civilian life, but I was a military policeman, 99% security, but taught the basics of law enforcement. I seldom get pulled over, but when I do, my hands go to the top of the steering wheel, in plain sight. Policeman are human. When they approach you, they aren't sure what is going to happen. They may be nervous. One of the main things they worry about is your hands. Where are your hands? What are you doing with them? Why make a potentially nervous man with a gun even more nervous? Keep your hands in plain sight and you will start the encounter in a calmer fashion.
 
Mid-Century architecture/design is my favorite.

Recently watched a documentary on the Oyler House.

(That being said, Frank Lloyd Wright was a POS horrible human being, and his houses leaked like sieves. Not that he had anything to do with the Oyler house, I just wanted to get that out there.)
Visited Fallingwater. Gorgeous. And falling apart in places. That cantilevered balcony has had to be reinforced several times to keep from falling off.

The cost of shipping is prohibitive. Ends up about $5 a can with shipping. Way too much. I was just flashing the idea of someone buying a case there if they had room in a vehicle and I would meet them in this area sometime and reimburse them. Did not wish anyone to go to a lot of trouble.

What is strange is that those beans are packed in Tucson but not available anywhere out West.

You can get them on Amazon with free shipping but the cost is $21.00 for 6. That seems like a lot of money for canned beans.

Sir,
I checked, the cheapest I found for luck's Pinto beans for 6 x 15oz cans is $21.32 let me know (sounds kind of high) and I will have them shipped to you. (No shipping cost)
 
Went out to eat tonight. Cracker Barrel was the closest place, so we went there. They can't get help so half the dining room was closed and the waiting list for a table was an hour. We decided to drive across town and went to Captain D. It cost about six dollars more than the last time and the portions were smaller. Lets go brandon.

The Director and myself met another couple at Mike Linnig's yesterday afternoon............two fish platters, a coke, water and order of onion rings......$55+........and there wasn't any hush puppies on that platter...........we won't be going back there anytime soon......they also had a wait time of 1 hr 10 min to get food........it's good fish.........but it isn't that damn good!
 
By softball ladies ! Down 7-1 to Hogs & massively rally to 10-7 & top two seed in SEC tourney! Congratulations, Ladies !!

Edit: The top two seed already may be wrong. Looking at standings now I don't see how that can be right, but that's what I thought I heard. Maybe they meant whomever wins the series with the final game today. Looking at score today, they need another big rally. :(

Just watched the latest Bond movie "No Time To Die"





Edited for spoiler alert: Should have done that with original post on this.
Do not read next three post (Quoted my deleted post) below this one as I was drinking and not thinking. Gave away too much information not realizing it had not been out that long. Apologies to all.

Pissed tonight, just watched the latest Bond movie "No Time To Die" and they killed off Bond. 007 was different in this movie but Bond comes out of retirement to help. Well, that is the last one I will watch. The new 007 is a woman. Q is gay. Felix Leiter was also killed off. Ian Fleming, Albert R. Brocoli, and Connery have to be turning in their graves. Brocoli's daughter just ruined the franchise.

What is the world coming to when the woke crowd destroys Bond.
