I did not know him, but we may be kin.

I looked him up after I posted. He died in 2020 (86). I worked for him about 6 months. He wanted to make me his supervisor then but I turned him down. (He ran an excellent company but I had my own vision by that time and started working on it. I think somehow that hurt him in our relationship but I never wronged him nor he me that I know of.) His son Shawn and I got along well. Five to ten years younger than me and I was in my mid-twenties when I knew him.

Just thought I'd mention it in passing when I saw the last name. Roy was engrained in Kentucky for sure. Used to pass out the tickets to ball games...(Business stuff...) I knew he had graduated from UK and was an Alum. (He stayed active doing things with UK but I was not privy to them other than in passing.) (I was too busy..."catting" around...)

Good Morning all,

Had my biscuits and over-easy eggs... with coffee it hit the spot. Yes I am sore but My Darling was ready to go again. We do love it on the ocean. When we lived in South Carolina we stayed on the ocean, almost daily after work and never tired of it.

A cleaning day for me, I will be milling around in my office and Garage. A cool day it seems but things will heat up. ;) Have a great day...

GO CATS!!! (REFINE yourselves!!!)
 



Afternoon Legionnaires!

Got up early this morning and took my daughter to the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge to do some community service required by her online school as part of their curriculum. We did some clean up on the bike trail and a lake shoreline there for our part of the community service. We had trash bags for trash and recycle items. When we returned with our bags my daughters online administrator was just bringing theirs back (her and her husband and kids) and she looked at ours and said "Wow, you guys really filled up your bags". They just don't know how well we military guys can do Police Call. When we got there, there were a lot of people already getting their bags and grabbers so, the only area left was the bike trail and lake shoreline which no one else wanted. That meant there was a large area to cover so we had quite a bit to pick up.

My daughter who does not do much physical working out, or anything else, hung in there better than I thought because I was moving along, and the terrain was rough. There were a lot of spider webs and other bugs flying around which bothered her a bit, but she took it like a trooper. I told my daughter her mother would have never made it because she freaks out around insects (especially spiders). I was supposed to go fishing today but when my wife told me what she (my daughter) needed to do I knew my wife would have gone but, really hoped I would take the task myself. So, being the great husband I am (heh, heh, heh), I did my manly duty.
 
Fill up the car and truck, start your generator to make sure she runs, put on the storm windows, put the stuff that can fly away in the garage; then stack up some good DVD's to watch!

Stay safe.
It would have to do a 90 degree turn to the right to slam into me. My brother would be a direct hit, he lives in the Apalachicola area. But he is a pro at handling hurricanes and has a lot of experience.
 
I delved into the fray just a little on the political board today but it was just a slight venture as I have to get some sense of a possibility to effect change or I don't like wasting time. (Time is a precious commodity on this earth.)

I have been known to be called weird and some other things (deservedly so many times.) but darned if some of those are some seriously flawed characters. I'd actually like to see how they live to see if it correlates with how they type. I do doubt it does. At least I hope it doesn't mesh with how they live.. jmo
 
Anybody recall the name Ezzard Charles (The Cincinnat Cobra)? He was a friend of Ali and Rocky Marciano. Ezzard was really a light heavyweight who fought up in weight. Beat Joe Walcott for the heavyweight championship. He was never the same after killing Sam Baroudi in the ring. Oddly enough, only a few months earlier, Baroudi had killed a man in the ring.

Oh do I. I am a little older and my boxing hero as a child was Rocky Marciano. Marciano knocked out Walcott for the championship in 1952. This match was with Ezzard Charles

I just got out of the shower after going over to the political forum. I feel dirty reading that liberal garbage. I get called every name in the book by some of them. It is a hoot.

You are right they are seriously flawed and their is no hope for redemption of them. I too wonder if they believe the nonsense that comes from their keyboard.

They did a computer fight in 1969. They actually sparred to make film for the fight. Ali said his arms were sore from the beating Rocky gave them. He also said only a computer made in Alabama could beat him.

That was Marciano's game. He was not a big man and had short arms. So he would pound away and hit the opponent in his arms and they would get numb and heavy. Once that happened Marciano would go for the knockout.. He had a powerful punch
