What makes the probability higher that it's not true?
Hello all, I hope you all are well.
I do realize some have had some health issues and injuries. (I have kept you in prayer.) I have been here everyday and have kept up. I just decided it was time for me to take a sabbatical from posting. (I can do most anything I set my mind to doing except brain surgery but, I cannot leave this place (The D-League) I have taken to my heart.)
I have had a lot of changes occur recently and had to focus on myself work-wise and my family. (I still have un-finished business...) I will expound further in future posts IF the Lord doesn't take me home. Please understand I will at least be viewing this thread/ home, that I care about deeply.
A couple/ few of you know nearly exactly how much I care.
May this Lord's day bring you all the peace and rest you desire and need. I KNOW God WILL provide your needs IF you trust and ask God to provide, and you SUBMIT to God. Have faith, God IS still in control.
Bless you all...

Afternoon Legionnaires!
Hope the day finds everyone well. Bert, here's to hoping your leg is just bruised with no serious damage.
Heat wave continues here. Triple or near to triple digits everyday now. Supposed to drop to 98° by Wed for a day and then back up. Not much time in the day for fishing but, I got out this morning so...Here's the fishing report:
Many strikes again this morning (common theme these days) with 10 hooks and 4 landed (Bass won that round). One was over 4lbs and another just under 4. Ran into another guy out there who was in a kayak (I was in waders) and he landed about 10-12 bass. He was using a smaller bait than me and his biggest was near 2 lbs but, he was pulling them in hand over fist.
That's some serious tonnage....(The fish...) 🤤(Those are trophy-worthy.)
Good morning from Shawanee, TN. It's abut 70°F here.
US mail truck crashed near Claiborne Co/Union Co line early this morning. I got held up for 1.5 hours, said screw it, and took a helluva shortcut to get here. @starchief5 may know the area (Sharp's Chapel). Crazy stuff.
Gonna get some sleep soon and go grocery shopping with daughter.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
Disappointed I missed national beer run day.
Reminds of a friend whose father was wounded in Vietnam. Shot in the ass while on a beer run at night past enemy territory. Never told his children, but the officiant at his final services was given the green light to tell the story.
God bless the D-LEAGUE! May He grant that the sick and wounded see a speedy recovery and no long term, ill effects
Good morning from ATX. Currently 87°F and clear. Today's high predicted around 106°F. Huge change from yesterday on Nolin Lake.
Well, I brought a 10-month old beagle hound with me from KY. Named him "Blue". Possible massive mistake. Summer already snapped at Blue when I introduced both. Blue is outside right now. Stickers all over him. Gotta clean him up. Wife asleep. Lots of work ahead with these two. Must turn in rental car by 9 am.
Drove the 945 mile trip from Bee Spring restaurant to our front door in 15 hours, 25 minutes. Cuz loaned me a wire dog crate. Blue was upset at first; he howled when leaving his litter, but seems okay thereafter.
I'll check back later. Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning all,
Fast at it this morning. Much to do...MAN if you could only see what I sat out for "me" to do.... Work too... I guess I can but I don't do much whistling... Take care...
(I remember this song... Whistle while you work, you stupid little jerk..." Yeah, I am... at times for sure...)

Morning Legionnaires!
102° on tap for today with the next 2 days going down to 98° and then back up to 100-105 projected for the next 10 days. Next Friday-Sunday (22-24 July) is the OK State softball tournament and projected temp being 102-104°. No rain in sight, hope that changes.
Going doctor shopping today and the rest of this week except Wednesday, (going fishing) if I don't find what I like today. Will visit my wife's doctor's office this morning. Have not had a checkup in a few years and it is about time. The last checkup I did have was just a token one done by a PA at RACH (Reynolds Army Community Hospital). Really need to find one who will actually give me a work over, so I know where I stand in my overall health.
For those hurting I pray God sends you relief.
For those working he sends you energy and strength.
For those traveling he sends you protection from harm.
But most of all, he keeps you safe and happy in his arms.
Was thinking about my Dad. I was angry about an issue that came up with work. (I was "mad".)
When I stated I was "mad", Dad always told me, "Rub your "mad" spot.".... Settled me down...

When my daughter was mad at her mother, I used to ask her if she wanted me to pick up the refrigerator and throw it at her mother. She would start laughing and the mad would be over.
Good morning D League
@warrior-cat. It sure does get hot in Oklahoma. Mercy.
We have 76° at present and will hit 85° this afternoon. We should get our routine afternoon rain shower around 3:00 PM and the rest of the day will be sunny. It might be sunny during the rain shower. It often is.
I had an uneventful weekend, just getting ready for some football. Practice starts down here in a few weeks and football is in the air. My granddaughter marched to Jacks Valley, a 3 hour march from her dorms or barracks (I am not sure what the Air Force Academy calls them) to set up a gruesome camp which will involve the second part of basic cadet training (BCT). Once the basic cadets arrive they set up a tent encampment and prepare for 2 weeks of physically intensive military training.
Here is a little video of what the next few weeks will be like at Jacks Valley

I was just heading out the door to work in the yard when down came the rain in buckets. So I will wait for it to pass. Meanwhile back at the ranch,
I'd fall off that telephone pole walk in about two steps. Balance is shot.
Until you live in Florida you do not know what a frog strangler rain is. It can come down by the bucket loads.
Then the sun comes back out in a few minutes and the humidity goes to 99%! Okay maybe only 90% but it will feel like it is 190%.😁
I don't remember what balance is!
Good afternoon D-League. I woke up feeling like hell today, fever, headache, sore throat, cough, sick stomach. I was sure I had COVID, but I took one of those home tests and it came back negative.
Feeling a little better as the day wears on. But just really low energy. Work is a true chore.
But it is a beautiful day here, sunny and not too hot. So maybe I can rally enough to take a walk after a get through a run of work meetings.
Hope it is a good day for all of you.

John would do this to a child or young person...
He'd do this to that vermin...
I bet the sweetie would prefer this... (But he wouldn't get it...)
I read women enjoy being spanked. No?John would do this to a child or young person...

I learned how to swim by being thrown in the lake by my older cousin. We were at Lake Wimauma on the pier. I was 5 or 6. He asked me if I could swim and I answered maybe, I never tried and he picked my up and slung me as far as he could. I hit the bottom and came up and splashed around until I got to the shore.John would do this to a child or young person...

Everybody laughed. That is the way we use to do it.
Well I am still batching it for a few more weeks so I get to pick what I want to cook for supper. Tonight it will be liver and onions. My wife will not touch it and I love it so I am headed outside and frying me some liver.
That is what you do when you are in charge. I will cook about every thing I love that she doesn't while I have the chance. She always wants me to cook outside when I fry up things like that so I will honor her request. I am going to have a feast.
I am a simple man with simple tastes.

I wasn't thrown or pushed Sir, I jumped in willingly thinking since everyone else could do it, so could I, (I was in a swimming pool at my friends pool party when we were young.) Another kid who lived there ended up pushing me to the side after I swallowed a half gallon or so, sunk like a rock I did but I have since learned some common sense or at least caution. I was a reckless mug... A stunt like that will "Wise you up" as my Dad used to say. (Just remembered that.)
It's the Yin and Yang of life.
Not my yang you don't...
I suppose you yearn for your yang to stay where it is.
You "ain't" NEVER lied!!!
Edit: Dang that sounded dainty... Half of it anyway...

Good morning from ATX. Currently 82°F and clear. Today's high expected around 102°F. Yesterday we briefly hit 106°F before storms moved through. Too bad we received no rain. Heat advisory in effect.
Our new family member is not working out. Wife pressuring me hard to give him up for adoption. Afraid he'll be leaving us soon.
Back working today.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Morning Legionnaires!
99° on tap for today with a cooling front coming in tomorrow bringing 98° before we go back over 100 for the foreseeable future. Wednesday may be my only fishing day this week. We shall see.
Made an appointment yesterday with my wife's doctor for this morning at 0945. Now maybe we can get things started in the right direction for my future health concerns. Will be more of a consultation to see what needs to be done going forward and where I stand (hopefully).
Be safe today and be good or, be good at it.
I was never brave enough to spank Sherry.
Good early afternoon D-Leaguers.
It is a cool 90.3°F here on our way to 89°F. So much for my weather forecast. The reason for the "cool" is because the humidity is down to 43%.
@MdWIldcat55 I hope you get to feeling better. You and @warrior-cat are the two "healthy" folks on the board. Most of the rest of us are too old to do much.
Because of my fall on July 4th, I finally have an appointment to see my orthopedic surgeon next Monday. Anymore if you want attention you have to call 911. So I am going to have to use a walker for two weeks because I did not want to call 911. That is stupid. I call my regular doctor and I could see him in three weeks (I could see a nurse practitioner in a day, but why pay retail for a non-doctor?). A specialist is only 1 week. I used to be able to call my next door neighbor and get instant attention, plus he was a heart surgeon and I never got billed! 😁
You all have a wonderful humpday-eve.

My family dr was my next door neighbor for many years till he retired and moved. Now my dr is a guy who used to date my daughter. You have to have an appt to see him though, so I usually see a nurse practitioner. They open at 7 and if I'm there just after 7, I can just drop in with only a 5 or 10 minute wait.
Thanks Bert. Turns out I have COVID after all, which is a colossal pain in the ass.
Symptoms are no worse than a bad cold, but the timing couldn't be worse in terms of getting my work done.
Hello all,
Sorry to hear about the calamities but you are taking heart. I've been having issues as well needing some doctorly advice/ treatment. My three children are in the medical field. Nearly my son is an NP, RN, and CRNA. I listen to them but steer clear from putting them on the hook. If something happened to me even without any cause from them, it would weigh too heavily on them. In any event I have to get these older bones feeling better. Just aches and pains (I hope) as I get checked out fairly regularly.

That's probably a wise move. When I was in my 30's, I had a wreck that really messed up a leg. I had 3 surgeries on it. The dr that did the surgeries quit doctoring later on. He was going to work one night and his wife complained of a headache. He said the take aspirin and I'll see you in the morning thing. When he got home, he found her dead. Though unlikely to happen, you don't want that on your kids.
Ever tried with a straw, makes the drink go down better. 🤪
