- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Those last two engines are one number apart.
I presume you played the role of Slim Pickens & rode the things all the way.I was part of that. The Shuttle main fuel tank had to be sent via barge. CSX delivered the solid fuel rockets (the ones on the side). Guess from where? Huntsville!
And guess which is the safest way to transport dangerous stuff. RAILROAD. We are good.
You won the prize vhcat.
NBA draft has started. In two of the first three clips Keion Brooks got abused - by Paolo Banchero, #1 with a jumper over him and jabari Smith blocking a shot back in his face. The ghost of Adolph Rupp getting revenge for Keion calling for a renaming of Rupp Arena?
Good take. I usually didn't play coed softball, but one day near the end of my playing days, I did. I was rounding third as hard as I could go. If the catcher blocked the plate, I was going to run over him. I looked up at the last second and there was a 110 pound woman standing on the plate and not paying any attention to what was going on. I pulled up at the last second and pulled a groin muscle. The darn thing still bothers me from time to time.
That kid had no reason whatsoever making such a call. None. Zero. A few things in life are totally off-limits. Renaming Rupp Arena is one.
I played first base in a softball league, and saw first hand what pitchers went through. I applaud the job you all do on the field.Rough night last night with softball. Lost first game in which I was the EH (extra hitter) by 1 run. I went 2-3 at the plate. The second game we won by 1 and I went 4-4 but was knocked out of the game in extra innings as I was hit for the third time by another line drive at me (pitcher is 45ft from the plate) and could not continue. This team was an up the middle hitting team and is why I was pitching that game. There were several hit up the middle and I got all but one of them out. The one I did not get out hit my glove/wrist, bounced up in the air right at the second baseman but he saw me get hit and immediately ran to me to make sure I was ok not looking at the ball which went up in the air and could have been caught. I got hit a couple of times last night. Pictured below are the results of last night's ones that hit me. Left hand, right leg calf, and left leg upper shin.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and clear. Today's high expected at around 103°F. We tied a record high yesterday at 104°F. 18 triple-digit days so far this year. Good possibility for rain next week.
Received bad news last night. Don suffered another stroke. Please send thoughts and prayers his way.
Must take our dog in at 7 am for more IVs. There's a good chance pancreatitis returned. Playing it day-to-day again.
Happy Friday!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Most don't want to pitch in slow pitch because batters can control where they hit the ball generally. My wife said that I am just a masochist and love getting beat up. I told her no, I don't get hit too much during the year. I usually catch them. I was a little slower this week as I did not pick the ball off the bat as well as I should have. It has been that way for a couple of years since they have gone to the yellow balls. That and I am older than before which is why I wear a mask now when I pitch. Most do these days with the bat technology being more advanced.
Hand is feeling better this morning. Could not close it all of the way until this morning. Still stiff but less pain. Legs are ok as well. Need to cut grass this morning so they will get a little workout.
Prayers for Don and his family.
Good morning folks.
Prayers sent Don’s way. Please let us know more when you can Austin. I’ll hope for good news.
TyTy fell but at least caught the first round last night. That means guaranteed money - just over $1 million for the first year, based on last year. You wonder how close he could have come to that with NIL money in Lexington while improving his draft stock closer to the $7-$9 million a year lottery money. Ah well, best of luck to him.
Hope it is a good day for everyone.

Hello all and I lift Don and his family up in prayer. God's comfort to him and them...
Good Morning all,
I got started late this morning. The BB played me into oblivion last night. I was seriously out of it. I have tons of things I need to get accomplished but that wasn't happening yesterday. I bought him some balloons and that was all it took. Blowing up the balloon and handing it to him to let the balloon shoot all around the room was the order of the afternoon. That and letting the balloon fart all over the place.... playing was on and could not be stopped... Take care...

Hey It's Good to Be Back Home Again....
I thought back to John Denver... This song was sung in a different arena but it sent a chill...

I'll admit that I never wanted to pitch in softball. Watching line drives whiz by pitchers heads kind of turned me off on it.
Glad you're feeling better this morning.
A long time ago in my area of Ky at least, there was unlimited arch on pitches for a couple of years. Some pitchers would back up as much as 5 or 6 steps and reach a fielding stance before the ball was hit. I normally played third base, but a friend was our pitcher and he liked to take a break from pitching, so against weaker teams, we'd trade positions. Offense suffered from the unlimited arch, so they abandoned it after a couple of years. I hated to see it go.
Prayers for Don and his family. He is a mighty fine person and I imiss his posts and comments. God bless.
Good morning, D-League!
Waiting on some laborers, so I wanted to give a shout out. Happy Friday! Hope it's a good day and a great weekend for y'all

Good morning D
It has been a busy week. We are in KY with our youngest granddaughter while my son and daughter in law are in Coloraado Springs at the AF Academy . The oldest granddaughter is now a cadet in BCT. They fly back tomorrow. .
The youngest is a competitive swimmer so we have been taking her to various swim meets. My oldest grandson returns from studying in Spain next week so we will stay to see him before heading back to Florida.
Trust all are well. Special prayer for Don. And Starcheif in Arizona

Good morning. It is another sunny day. We are at 77.0°F on our way to 92° with no chance of rain.
Sorry to hear about Don. Best of luck to him.

Talk about a guy with an ironclad excuse. What jury that included any men would convict him?

You know good and well she commits spousal abuse... Da boy gets beat regularly...
She's got his junk in her pocket, if she's not wearing it around her neck
w-c is too old & slow to back up.
So he's able to speak the language of FL now?
That's the true definition of coyote ugly. You chew your arm off just to keep from waking her.

Man I got a serious TP stash in the lower level of my home. I order some things on line when I can and to get to the total for free delivery at Walmart I usually add some TP as it is a decent deal. (I stacked it all together a few days ago and realized I better add some other necessity the next several times...)
Heh. Brilliant minds think alike. We've currently got 150+ TP rolls stashed.
They're good wall insulation.
Double 🤣 🤣 That is about the amount we have stashed...(I was ashamed to admit it...)🤣🤣
Old toenails are a PITA. Soaked in hot tub to soften up. Then the biggies still tough. Getting harder & harder to reach. And my right ring toe is now a bloody stump. May need to go for a transfusion. But at least my shoes are loose on the ends again.
Very good point. 6 to 12ft arch used to be the legal height for slow pitch until USSSA took over. I used to use a very high arch and move back giving me more time to react. Some Umps that liked me allowed me to go higher. Now with the lower arch requirement not much backward movement can be attained and be set in time to plant my feet for defense.
A pecker pendant? Oh man, I shudder to think about it.
