Here is an interesting happening over St Pete Beach, FL Lightning forming the tail of a rainbow.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Wishing you a speedy recovery.Good morning D
Well put me on the injured reserve list. Yesterday I was washing down the deck around my pool and dragging a garden hose. The hose knocked over a heavy and large planter and it went straight to the bottom of the pool. I jumped in, clothes and all, and attempted to lift it out.
Something popped in my left shoulder and I immediately had excruciating pain and limited use of my left arm. My wife has been out of state for 3 weeks and I am alone but I did manage to get the pot out of the pool. Not before spilling dirt, now mud, into the water. Today I will attempt to clean up the mess.
Meanwhile I am typing with my right hand and hurting like crazy but I will survive. It is the price for living a long life. Take care all and stay cool.
This was the culprit
Thanks, I should mend back up in a few days. I have more motion today than last night. Last night was rough as I couldn't sleep on the shoulder and it was throbing with pain.
I pray for a good nights rest for you all....
Take a trip on the Wabash Cannonball... In honor of @_Rooster

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79°F and clear. Today's high expected around 104°F. Heat is back on.
Plan on firing up the crockpot after a morning walk.
It's Monday. It's early. I got nothing else.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

It appears my left shoulder injury is most likely a torn rotator cuff. It couldn't happen at a worse time because I have 20 large bags of cypress mulch to spread around and had it on my calendar to do today. I don't like it but I guess things happen that way. I am going to get me a shoulder brace and skip a doctor's visit for the present. I found some good excercies on youtube and will try that too. If it clears up in a week or so I should be OK, if not well I will face that if it comes to that.
Meanwhile the weather down here is in the same summer pattern as usual. We have clear skies with a current temperature of 76° and 94% humidity. The high will hit 87° by mid afternoon. That humidity is not going away and we may have some rain showers later today. Chances are 46% but even if it does not rain we will have thunderstorms rumbling.
I need a coffee refill so I will wish all a good day and those in need of a physical touch, keep the faith.

Morning Legionnaires!
103° expected for a high today which is 6° (cooling front
) lower than predicted a few days ago. Tomorrow is supposed to be 111°. No fishing planned for this week as the overnight temps are in the high 70's to lower 80's.Left hand is still hurt to the point that I cannot swing the bat full out. May not play in the State tournament this weekend. 😒 Last time that happened was covid related.
Sorry to hear about Sawnee's rotator cuff, and Warriors hand.
Hope you guys feel better soon. I busted my rotator cuff many years back, and didn't get it surgically repaired. It healed up well enough to function.
But my days as a softball shortstop who could play really deep to get to balls and still throw guys out were over. That was about the best part of my game dating back to high school baseball, so I missed the feeling of nailing a guy by a step on a ball backhanded to my right.
Ah well. Not as traumatic as when I realized I couldn't dunk anymore, somewhere in my early 50s.
With that litany of loss, I'll wish you all a good day.

Ouch on me... I have never been athletically inclined though I could do some things different ways. As an example of my athletic prowess. Even in my best shape in the Army (at Fort Huachuca) I had to have a running go to touch the bottom of the net on a basketball goal. At 5'11" as I understand it my "hops" are very sub-par...
I could do 25 chin ups (Proper chin-ups), I always maxed out the strength side of the PT test(s). I could climb a 100' rope. Jumping, I could barely get off my toes...
Good Morning all...
As my dad used to say about those of us who were not particularly fast, he runs to long in the same spot.Ouch on me...

Dang shame, SC. Tough thing to deal with. Good luck.
Did you play for the Big Trains?
Good Morning D-League. It is a cloudy 73.6°F on our way to 85° with a 30% chance of rain. Early this morning we got a welcomed .57 inches. We could use a couple more inches. My grass is under stress.
@Sawnee Cat you may want to see a professional on that shoulder. Sherry went through that and I think the sooner it gets attention the better; however, you are over 21!
I was not much of an athlete. I never started on the high school basketball team. I never started on the high school football team. I never started on the high school baseball team. I did win the region in the 440 yard, but I refused to go to State because I was tired of getting sick from running my guts out. I really pissed my coach off. But being on the team was important. The girl I was crazy about was a cheer leader and the cheer leaders rode the bus to games with the team, so I got to sit with her as long as I could make the team. It was worth it!
I go to the Doctor this afternoon to see what is broken, stretched or ripped in my left leg.

I have been working in the yard and just came in for a bite to eat. We got one of those sudden rain showers too but it will pass as fast as it came.
I picked up 20 bags of red cypress mulch and spread them around. My shoulder feels pretty good and I am glad I have that out of the way. I sprayed roundup in the area last week and it did a good job. I still have more roundup to put down and if it dries up a little this afternoon I might finish it up.
The shoulder feels pretty good after throwing those bags around and maybe the heat and humidity is helping with that. I picked up a shoulder brace and will wear it for awhile to see if it helps. The pain is bearable for now. I honestly think when you get as old as me pain becomes a part of your life to the point you pay as little attention to it as you can. As long as I can keep moving I will be working. If I am able I should say.
I put a nice roast in the crock pot this morning to have later today. My wife should be home next Friday if the planes fly on time so until then I continue to batch.
I feel like Ymmot when I am in the kitchen now. He knows how to feed his belly.

The best to you Bert when you see the doc. I am praying he can treat it conservatively and not have to use the knife. Just get well.Good Morning D-League.

Thanks for your concern, my wife feels the same way you do about me going to the doctor. But it has only been 4 days since I pulled the pot into the pool and ripped my shoulder. It is doing better. Maybe the brace will help.
My dad's advice to me was "you best get a good education"
During my noon walk, I found 23 wheat pennies in an empty lot full of junk. Coins just lying around like someone dropped them. Many appear in great condition.
Sigh. No 1943 steel pennies in the lot.
Sigh. No 1943 steel pennies in the lot.
1943 steel? I'm not prejudiced, I'd have picked them up anyway...
Edit: DANG!!! Going to make me look through my stash now to see what I have. I do remember having some 1943 pennies. I guess a magnet is the way to find out... (I looked up the value...)
Darn you ATX, you got me side-tracked now....
😅 Me and my Mr. Howell schnoz...

My sister called me up a while ago and talked about spending $30.00 on something that cost that a month. I told her that there would need to be a good amount of food in that price for me to spend $30.00 a month. She acted like it was nothing and I know I am much better off financially than she is. Just took me strange as what she was talking about was frivolous.
Any Indian, I mean Native American, Heads?
Y'all ain't gonna believe this. I just found and carried home a set of golf clubs + bag. As I was walking along, guy says "you see that guy? I'll pay you if you pick up his shit." I said, "man, no, it's okay". Walk further and it appeared some dude pushed along a couple carts with junk inside. Lots of other stuff. Should have got pictures. Below is our dog, Summer, sniffing my latest find.

Like my Dad used to say, more money than sense... Dang ATX, you could darn near make a living walking.... At least in "decadent" Austin.....
Anybody talk to Don lately? Have not seen him in a while.
Yes, called him July 7. He suffered another stroke few weeks ago. Seems to be doing better. He sounded good.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 82°F and clear. Today's high expected around 104°F. We're under excessive heat warning. About two more months remain of this misery.
Wife put my newly found golf club set find on neighborhood chat bulletin board. We'll keep it up there for a month, then on to Craigslist.
Must accompany wife to dentist at 12:30 pm today. She broke a tooth.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good Morning all,
Been a rough couple of days. Engaged to the max and spread out to the max. A bad combination in my book but, as my son says at times. It is what it is... So many areas need attention. Too many areas but oh well... I got to IM my niece yesterday as well. It was her birthday. We were really close for a lot of years before I went into the Army. (Still are in some ways.)(She was just a baby then until she was about 5.) (She is one of the daughters of my BIL that died a couple months ago, and my sister that I talked with yesterday.)
Have a great day!

That and some copper infusion makes some nice and healthy bread.
Me thinks you have to work on your English. "Did not steal those pennies in the lot"
You're welcome.
On your death bed you will receive total consciousness. You got that going for you, which is nice.Y'all ain't gonna believe this. I just found and carried home a set of golf clubs + bag.

Sorry, mind just went that way. 🤪
The pond would be good for you... 😅
Yes, if not just for cleansing but, I would also use it to fish and find golf balls for Austin.
Oh, ambidextrous...
Morning Legionnaires!
111° on tap for today with light winds. Has not rained here in many weeks so cutting the grass has not been necessary for over 2 weeks. Supposed to play Mr. Miyagi today but will cancel since the gym has no AC.
Not much else to report.
Get healthy D-League.
Good morning D Leaguers
Another day and another dollar if you can find it on the street. I have my 6 months dental appointment today. I expect a good report. God did bless me with good teeth for which I am thankful. My mother had all of her teeth when she died at age 95. Daddy lost all of us teeth by the time he was 21 years old. I plan on leaving with mine.
Our weather is Florida Style today which means our high should hit 86° in the early afternoon and we will have a chance at thunderstorms later in the day. Most of the day will bring sunshine and scattered clouds. The humidity is the difference maker and most people from out of state have a problem with it. It takes awhile to get use to it.
I trust all are doing well and old time regulars like Don, Starchief, Rooster and Cord as well as the others are feeling well. I pray Don continues to recover from his stroke. My shoulder is on the mend and the brace helps. I think I am going to get through this little pain with home care and time.
Keep the faith.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 71° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies, with a chance of a thunderstorm and a high of 84°.
Everyone stay safe on this Tuesday.

Good morning D-League. Just got back from voting in the Maryland primary.
As always, it was a mostly futile gesture aimed at voting "against" rather than "for."
We have well-backed candidates in my county who basically run on doing more for illegal aliens, including building more taxpayer subsidized high-rise developments. They've been running ads on television accusing the sitting guy -- who is enough of a lefty a-hole - of not doing enough for illegals. So I go out and vote for the people the loonies target. We'll see if enough have my POV. A good sign - I was the only person at the polling place.
I'll leave the rest of my political rant off this page.
Already very hot here today. Hope you fellows are staying cool.

When we arrived here, I never even fathomed living in Maryland. Virginia is bad enough. I have yet to see the change I had hoped for with the new Governor... (I will stop...)
It is sunny and 78.4°F here. We are supposed to start getting back in the really hot summer mode again this week. The high today is to be 89° and the rest of the week above 95°.
Went to the orthopedic surgeon yesterday and it appears the damage to my left leg is all muscle. He again reminded me that every joint is covered in arthritis and anytime I want the left hip and knee replaced to call him.
Ymmot called me Sunday and he had talked to Don. He is doing better. He had trouble hearing so he keeps the phone next to his ear.
Stay cool out there folks.
