D-League

My buddy moved to sarasota after we retired in ohio and kept his boat at a marina on the crystal river. i went down to visit him once and we went out the river to the gulf. he was hoping to show me some manatees but they weren’t in.
They come in when the weather starts cooling and the Gulf waters cool down. They can not take cold water so they move inland up the rivers to keep warm. Manatees are very abundant and one can almost cross over a narrow river by stepping on their backs. Crystal River is one of my favorite spots.

A famous baseball player, TedWilliams, had a place in Citrus County (Crystal River) and did a lot of fishing from there.
 
Oh, got my Mazda back yesterday and it seems fixed. The Mass air sensor I bought cheaply didn't work (Was able to return it.) The OEM Mass Air sensor worked but also needed a transmission control module sensor. Those and labor cost me $485.00 (The car worked well today. My Darling and I took it for a drive this afternoon as well. Seems okay.) The parts neared $300.00 (I had already priced those) so I figured the $485.00 was reasonable.

I am going to replace the serpentine belt and the A/C belt soon on the Mazda. The Skyactiv engine has a timing chain. (They wanted $226.00 for just the serpentine belt which included installation so I think Advanced will get a drive-by soon since AutoZone has the belts for around $28.00. (I am good and cheap labor...)

Got a price to replace My Darlings brakes and rotors. The guy quoted me about $650.00 an axle. Since I can buy the parts new for about $380.00 total for all four wheels at Advanced (Already checked)(Mid-Grade parts.), I know what I will do in the next month or so...

Going to watch some Errol Flynn... Captain Blood (I watched part of it the day before yesterday.) May also watch some of Gentleman Jim...

Have a good rest of your evening...
 
Good morning folks. Well. the day is finally here. Kentucky football is back.

Always some question marks for the first game, and some things we can count on.

Question mark: Will Rooster, who has been MIA lately, make a surprise appearance with the spinning blue sparks on touchdowns?

Count on: We will have Warrior's artillery barrages on all scores.

There are probably other ways to analyze the game, but I'l leave that to you fellows. Have a great day.

Good Saturday Game Day

Football in the Bluegrass. I am excited about the Cats first game and looking forward to the new faces in key positions. Wide receiver being one. It will not be easy to replace Robinson but we may have some young talent that can get the job done.

The weather here is pretty much like it was for the past weeks. We have 74° now, the wind is ENE at 7 mph and the humidity is 97%. We should ease up to 87° and have a 49% chance of scattered thunder showers by mid afternoon. Just another September day.

We are missing rooster and hope he shows up today when the Cats score. I trust all are well and in good health and spirits.

Go CATS, GAME DAY

Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 86°F with a chance for showers.

Game Day is here. Go Cats! I must hook up this Fire Stick so we can watch the game on our large TV rather than my laptop. Start working on it around noon. Planning on Zaxby's for dinner before game time.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

72.0°F and cloudy. We are supposed to get rain today. We got .12" over night.

Game day.
I just checked my e-mail and there was a weather alert that said we had rain and 55mph winds at my house during the night. The wind gusts were on and off between 2:00am and 5:30am. I slept through it. I checked the yard this morning and there was no debris but sure signs of a heavy rain.
 
Good late morning all. Seems I slept in...been up for about an hour. Coffee just finished. Want biscuits but too late. I have bagels, English muffins, and cream cheese.

Who knows where this day will lead. I will start on my garage. May go buy the belts for the Mazda. Need to cut my backyard. Plenty to do, we shall see. Will try watching the game as well...

Have a great one...
 
Damn. I guess I jinxed Appy State. They were only able to score 61 in regulation against the mighty Cheaters, but their high-school quality defense gave up 63. ASU actually scored two touchdowns in the final minute - while giving up one on a terrible onsides kick - but failed on TWO 2-point conversions in that span.

Meanwhile, watching Georgia after watching a couple ACC-mid major games is like watching a major college game after watching high school teams.
