D-League

Good morning D-League. Beautiful day in the east. I’d take this weather 24/7/365.

Free lunch today as we Pat ourselves on the back for some recent perceived accomplishments. Way past caring about such things but not too cynical to enjoy a free sandwich and a couple fresh baked cookies.

I have a feeling we’re a few days from getting good news via the transfer portal for the basketball Cats. Would love the kid from South Dakota to join the band.

Hope it’s a good day for all.

Morning Legionnaires!

51° this morning with a high of 75° expected. Should be a couple of nice days going forward. Saturday is supposed to be one of our nicer days this week so...fishing.

Wife ask me last night what I was doing Saturday and I said fishing. She said that her mother and brother (who have not been here since Christmas) want to come over Saturday. I said, "Ok I will take a bit longer at my fishing holes". She gave me one of those looks. Still, I did not waver. Last time they were here my wife and her mother got in a more intense argument than normal. After they argue her mother generally joins me in the living room and starts asking me questions and bothering me on all kinds of subjects (que doctor Smith "The pain, The pain). My wife likes that because it gives her a chance to visit with her brother. My daughter goes into the computer room and stays away from her grandmother. She has never really been close to my daughter. She usually talks about her grandkids in Florida and Arizona bragging on their accomplishments which also pisses my wife off.

COME ON BASS, TAKE ME AWAY!

Praying for Bass weather! You might need to stay at a cabin rigjt by the lake to make sure you get there early enough!

I would not be surprised if @BBUK wife is not the Chief Chef at one of Washington DC's finest restaurant. She is a world class cook. And I bet it tastes better than it looks and it sure looks mighty fine.

Sirs,
Thank you...

I'd use a term that John Wayne used in "The Comancheros" "God Given Lucky" but that wouldn't do justice to what I have and feel for my Darling... She is so much more than a good cook BUT, she sure can cook. I tell her all she has to do is stick her finger in the food and all is good.

The cooking is only part of it but in my teens all I ever wanted was a family. I earnestly told the Lord then, I'd be different if he gave me a family. The Lord did that, and I was, but oh how I failed in many areas. The Lord has still honored and showered me with blessings because of his grace. I like to think back to David and what God promised him because of what was in David's heart. God has honored me and if he took it all away today all I could say is Blessed be the name of the Lord.

Oh, we have our turmoil and our crosses to bear as my three children all are parents without spouses, each for different reasons. My Darling and I love, hurt, care, and pray deeply for our children and grandchildren. The blessings still flow...

"Because I know whom I have believed in and am persuaded that he is able, to keep that which I've committed, unto him against that day!"

I laugh about that as I remember those days in my building. We had people making 170k annually and all they did was walk up and down the halls looking for free food. It was a joke to many but it was and still is sad to me as taxpayer dough is so wasted in DC and the government.

The free food made me chuckle though as one man I knew in particular used to stop by my office and grab a cup of coffee about twice a week and then invite me to take a walk with him. Every once in a while I would to stretch my legs and introduce myself to new people. This guy knew exactly where to go to get free food. Every time.

He got his coffee from me and told me once he was paying me back though I didn't care as he brought his own cup and I'd not turn down giving anyone a cup of coffee if I had it. He'd take me to the party with the food and "pay" me back by giving me other peoples food.

The thing about DC is, I was around all those money-making people knowing that if you loaned them five dollars, they'd cheat you out of it. It is their way of life...(For a bunch, not all.)

Re gov waste. I worked at a gov plant for 12 years. It was run on a cost plus basis. In other words, if it cost the company running it 100 dollars to run it, they were guaranteed 100 dollars plus X% profit. Every few years major companies bid on the contract to run it. Obviously it leads to much needless spending. The more you spend, the more you make.

Good morning! Tee time is 1127. It's 55° right now and supposed to get to 67°. I hope the wind doesn't blow like it did yesterday. I got chilled out pretty good and it was several hours before I warmed up.

Derby coming up next week. I wonder what the controversy will be this year?

I'm one of the 3 people who are still holding on to hope that Sharpe will be suiting up for us this season. Forget the money and the fame, maybe dude just wants to experience a year of college life before he jumps into adulthood. Maybe.

I guess I'll mow the grass this afternoon, because, I have to. I'm not going to like it though, I'll tell you that!

Y'all come on back now, ya hear?

That's ridiculous! At that age she should know better.

Yesterday morning when I woke up, I knew it would be a rough day at the course. I had worked two shifts in the workshop the previous days and it hurts me to be out there that long. All the twisting and squatting and just being on my feet that long take quite a toll on me. Throw in that I'm in the middle of a very bad RA episode, and you end up with the 88 I shot yesterday.

This morning I felt much better. The weather was beautiful and the wind was just a minor breeze. Shot 76 today.

That nun is not only the oldest person on Earth, odds are, she's the toughest too! You gotta be tough to get old. "It ain't for everybody". Sorry about the Cal joke but I still find a little humor in his bullshit.

For those of you who may not know, I am a guy! I do guy things, I have guy thoughts. That being said, my wife just asked me to wait to come in the kitchen while she fed the cats. What the hell? I was after a cold beer in the fridge. She might as well have asked me to lop off a pinky finger or something.

Like the old saying says...can't live with em, can't live with em.

I'd love it if Baylor committed to the Cats but he's got a long line of colleges after him. Broome is still on the table but it's looking more and more like Auburn for the big guy. Reeves was good news though. Good shooter and the Cats need shooters next year.

Digital scale. That's the weight I try to maintain but I'm not always successful.
Click to expand...

rotflcgu 😂🤣 Yeah at 5'11" (The Army never would give me 6'.) I try to maintain 190 but, uh, I have to go down through 220 and 210 and get back to 205 where I was at just at Thanksgiving this last year then my "family" decided to partake of LARGE cakes and pies this past Christmas season, get their slice and then leave them. Me being the one to never waste food I sliced my way back up near 230. I just teeter on 220 now. At night I am above 220 and in the morning I am below 220. (Yeah you learn when to check the weight.) I am trending in the right direction though BUT, I have a kingly choice of foods on a near daily if not daily basis and loving good food as I do, it is hard to drop drastically. I hovered near 205 for over five years too... Sigh...

Well, watching the Reds again and they are down 6-1 in the 5th. Hardly anyone in the stands.

So a woman at work today struck up a chat about how bad her baseball team, the Washington Nats, are, and I laughed that the Reds are truly wretched and yadda yadda, we ended up with a bet as to who would lose more: Nats or Reds. “Winner” gets an expensive dinner in October.

So, Go Reds! Lose them all!

I do believe the Reds hold the worst record in the league thus far at 3-14

That's a shame. I lost interest in sports with my last bastion of sports release along with institutional love are the Kentucky Wildcats. I hope nothing else happens in that area that includes country as I will not flinch in choosing though it would sure hurt.

The only highlight so far tonight is that Phillip Diehl who pitched in the minors for the Redbirds was called up for tonight's game and came in the game for the 6th inning for his major league debut and has got 6 outs in a row. His family and friends are all in the stand because he is a Cincinnati native. They are the only ones cheering for the team. There are about 15 of them there.

I like this portal idea. I was originally against it even though I knew we would benefit from it more than the average school. I didn't like it because it removes a level of responsibility. Teach kids about consequences of decisions and what it means to take responsibility for the decisions they make.

Now I just want to win. Screw it. Give em steroids, hookers, and shoes. Let's admit that we just want the competition.
