ON THE PHONE WITH DON LIVE NOW! QUESTIONS?
Hope all is well.
Yes, all is as well as can be.
@Bert Higginbotha Hey bud, I told Don that I would call you tomorrow afternoon and have a conference call with Don like we did that one time at Bert and Sherrie's Good Time Emporium and Hacienda. Are you good with that?
Played two games (Softball) last night. Won the first and lost the second. I sucked with the bat, but my D was still there. Took one (bad hop) off of the chest (bruised but enough meat to take it) and still got him out. Heard my shortstop say "Greg would not have made that play, he would have gotten out of the way. Greg is our other pitcher. We alternate pitching games and EH when not pitching. Defense or the lack thereof lost the second game. Both short stop and third base played matadors on several grounders. After the game they both said, "Sorry Mac, we should have got those". I told them I was not worried about it; we were just out there these days to have fun (beer league ball). Winning is more fun but, a couple of beers and the guy talk afterwards was just as much fun. However, I am not so complacent that I don't want my hitting to improve so, since all of my bats are old, I ordered a new one today. Supposed to be one of the hottest of the new bats going. Had it personalized with my name (Mac the shortened version) so no one could steal it.

I guess it's beerly possible...
My Youtube just randomly played me this jewel. Enjoy and remember where you were when you first heard it. The second is a little later, but you should still be able to narrow it down pretty closely. Music is awesome!
This just randomly popped up next. Instant memory.

I played softball one year for a beer distributor. Trouble was, it was Strohs. They gave us free beer. All we had to do was pick it up. After a bit, no one even bothered to go get it. Also played a couple of years for a bar. Free drinks if we won. We almost never lost.
Played my first couple of years of Lawton softball with the Lawton A's. Bunch of good talent on the team. The guy sponsoring the team also coached it. Found out later he sponsored it with money he embezzled from the finance company he worked for. He had a good lawyer and stayed out of jail until he was caught fondling a ten-year-old girl. He spent a year in prison then got back out working for the same company he embezzled from. Apparently, he knew how to bring in the business.
Played for many sponsors over the years and one in particular was a BBQ joint who fed us at least once a week for free.
I envy your abilities! Sure did love my days playing. I played with some very good teams in the past. 1 loss in 4 seasons with 1 team. 4 championships.Played two games (Softball) last night.

And THEN, it played this...
I played softball for the Clearwater Nationals. But that was yesterday and yesterday is gone.
Strohs beer was awesome! It was the second beer I ever had behind Falstaff, which is what my father kept in the garage fridge. Strohs beer, along with Jim Beam bourbon, got me through high school. I'll always be in debt to those libations. Roll with what brung ya, and what not..
My plumber has been trying to unclog our sewer. No luck. I should know something by 8 tonight as to whether or not the problem is on our property. Fingers crossed. Could be a really expensive repair/replacement.
Well MSD just left and because we don't have an outside clean-out they'll have to send a guy over tomorrow with a camera to pinpoint the problem. I'm preparing myself for a large decrease in cash.

Really am blessed to be healthy enough to continue to play. Have had some Achilles problems last few years but, slowing down running the bases seems to have helped a lot. Most of the time now if I get on, I can get a pinch runner if I want one. They keep me on generally because of my abilities with the glove and being able to handle the constant winds to get the ball over the plate. I have been hit in the head or face a few times over the years with one hitting the side of face because I turned my head just in time to keep my teeth. Hit my ear and cheekbone area and I had some bleeding but xrays at the local hospital proved that the internal bleeding has stopped. Ball spun me around facing second base with my face in the dirt. Tried to get up but our catcher was pushing me back down because I was bleeding and told me to stay down. Told him I needed to let my wife (who was in the stands) know I was OK. He said: "look up." I looked up and she was already on the field standing between me and second base with her hand over her mouth.
These days I wear shin guards, knee pads (under the pants) and a mask when pitching. Don't want to mess up this mug any further.

Good evening, D-League!
Still running ragged, sore, tired, and dodging the weather and the pollen. Hope yall are doing well. Thought I could catch up by last weekend, but more keeps getting added to my list of things to get done last week. I'm over a month behind. Maybe I'll be able to catch up before the football season kicks off!
God bless the D-League! Good night yall

Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may hit 100°F. Heat relief on the way, we hope.
Pup threw up again. We're watching her closely. Wife also sick and going to the doctor. I'm gonna see if I can work from home today.
Watched "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" last night. Awesome special effects, but story lagged from first two flicks.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D
We have a nice morning with 68° and a little fog on the lake. We expect a high of 87° with scattered clouds with about 2% chance of rain. Rain is expected this weekend, thank the Lord.
It should be a good day to fly. We are headed to the airport soon to catch a flight. My granddaughter graduates from high school this weekend and then she will be preparing to head out to Colorado Springs for the Air Force Academy. It seems as if yesterday I was flying up for her birth. Time does not slow down.
I trust all have a great day.

Have a safe and fruitful trip Sir.
Morning D-Legionnaires!
Hot, hot, hot happening today. 100° yesterday with 101° slated for today. Want to cut the grass but will wait until tomorrow when a cold front moves in and the high is expected to be 97°. 😋
I wonder if God frowns upon us if we eat Devil's food cake.
Whoa, I feel like Keanu Reaves in one of his iconic movies rolls after that remark.
Hang in there straight people! (From the John boy and Billy show)

Good Morning all,
Speaking of Dolphin urine watch what the "woke" crowd does now...
The Dolphin's taste...

Good morning to all in the D-League.
I should be available.
Heh, I actually drove into work and here now. Dropped pup at vet. I think she has an upset stomach.
I thought a few of you history buffs and Americana fans might be interested in this. It's a Norman Rockwell illustration depicting famous photog Mathew Brady capturing Lincoln's image in his DC studio - a place where everyone from Henry Clay to Walt Whitman to George Armstrong Custer and dozens of other luminaries visited.
The buidling where all those people visited Brady's studio is still there. Its just a couple blocks from where I work. No plaque or other sign of what an historic place it once was.

Sorry, my day didn't go as I had planned. I did call Don to let him know. He said he was going to drop by and say hi before long.
I risked $30 dollars playing golf this week. I won $70. Baby needs a new pair o shoes!
You better go and win two more times then.
No! Baby needs formula.
Hello to Donfather from me. Hope all is well.
CATS! CATS! CATS! Huge Congrats!
Wife bought chocolate covered pretzels. Damn it! Binge night.
Drove thru tremendous t-storm this evening. Many cars stopping on freeway. Me, I kept going at about 30 mph and let the car ride the waves on the road.
Attended 5th/6th/7th grades band concerts earlier. GS plays sax in 6th. I get a thrill out of listening to how each class is improved over the one below. It's impressive how much they learn in what I think is a short period. And I know zilch about music.

We missed the first wave of storms tonight. Others on the way later.
I envy your GS. I'd pick the sax over every other instrument. God I love the saxophone.
