D-League

Good morning and Happy Friday from ATX. Currently 67°F, clear and calm. Today's high expected around 91°F.

Heading into the office at 11:30 am. Working from home until then.

Heard Levis may or may not play tomorrow. Hope so. Go Cats!

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

Good morning D League.

Working til noon then heading for Delaware for a fall beach weekend. The older I got the less I enjoyed laying on a packed beach listening to someone else’s boombox under a broiling August sun. But in October you are virtually alone on the beach and you can take in the majesty of the ocean, watch for schools of bottlenose dolphins and just general chill out -then hit one of a half dozen pretty good bars and restaurants. Weather is supposed to be perfect - 72 and blue skies.

I hope you folks are heading into a nice weekend.

Morning. It is a sunny 53.6°F here. We are supposed to get to 71°F. We are supposed to really get cold sat/sun down to 34°. The tender plants must be taken care of.

Sure hope Levis is able to play tomorrow night. We are getting deep into the SEC and we need all hands on deck.

I got to see my kids yesterday for lunch. They were on their way to middle Tennessee to RV. A good time. I also got to lunch with a fellow on the national board that runs around with my kids @kyjeff1. He is a really good guy. Maybe we can get him attracted to the D-League.

Here is our picture:

That's a great photo Bert. Like me, you have a son who left no doubt from which tree the apple grew and fell. Last time I was in my small town I bumped into an old friend I hadn't seen for decades. He said, "I saw your son the last time you all were in town. I just saw him from a distance but there was no doubt -- he WALKS just like you did." Another woman my sister went to high school with told me, "I met your son with Kelly's boys. He not only looks exactly like you did, His voice sounds exactly like yours did."

Now that's a small town where the kids you grew up with remember each others' walks and voices.

That guy with me is Jeff. He is a poster on Cats Illustrated and he runs around with my son and daughter. They are big into RVing.

My son is red headed and blue eyes, here we are last Christmas:

He drinks gin and tonic and I drink bourbon.

Always interacted well with Jeff Sir, the few times we have interacted. Yes a good poster for sure. With the back story and even better poster.

Hello all,

My Darling and I hit the road early this morning back to the Naval recreation area in Maryland. No fish are biting but we have a five gallon bucket full of large blue crab.

Waiting for the fish that bite and don't nibble. Caught nothing yet on the leaders I made...made a bunch of those suckers too. Will give it a full day before I cast judgement but disappointing for sure...so far....

Still a bad day fishing... ;) Have a great day!

He is an Iraqi vet. He put in 20 years in the national guard (Florida, Tennessee and Kentucky) and was activated in late 2003. He retired at 20 years because his wife wanted him to. He would still like to be in the U.S. Army.

The picture below is the day he became a 2nd Lt. (a long time ago)!

Now he works for Norton Health group in Louisville. He is a computer engineer. The boy never had to hit the books hard. He still pisses me off. I don't like smart people!

But I am proud of my son. I am proud of my daughter. Sherry and I should have had more kids. They have been wonderful.

Good morning D-League. Lovely day in the Atlantic Coast of Delaware.

We visited our favorite fish and chips place last night -anywhere. My wife, who has spent a fair amount of time in London -claims this place tops any British F&C she has had. The guy running it is a pure working class Brit who we’ve gotten to know a bit over the years.

Then we stopped in a seaside bar for a quick drink. Suddenly the place erupts in cheers. We’re in Philly territory and it was the reaction to that 6-run 9th. Sorry Bernie.

It was a nice evening, and we’re headed to a little patisserie that makes remarkable cream cheese croissants. I needed a break from DC.

Hope all is well with you folks.

Morning Legionnaires!

48° right now with the high supposed to be around 60°. Winds 10-20mph with light rain. It has been raining off and on since around 9:00pm last night and is supposed to have more rain possible the next few days. Much needed too. Temps will go back up tomorrow in the low 80's for a couple of days and then 70's for a while. I'll take it.

Hate that the game is in the evening. Not much to do on a rainy day. Guess I will just have to watch the Red River Rivalry by myself. Was supposed to go to a friend's house with many from out softball team to watch the game but, his FIL was moved to Hospice on Monday in San Antonio with cancer all over his body. They have him on Morphine and do not expect him to make it pass this or the next week.

Well anyway, GO CATS! AND GOD BLESS.

Good Saturday Morning GAME Day

I can't believe we are almost half way through the football season. Things are getting interesting. It is 58° right now and the high will be 81° with only a 1% chance of rain. The sun will be out all day with a cool breeze. Some of the best weather of the year often follows a hurricane. That has been true again this year.

I voted yesterday and feel good about that. We have some very strong state wide candidates. I voted for this man who attended a high school football game last night in hard hit Collier County. They cleared the football stadium and played ball a week after the storm. I trust all are well and root the Cats to victory. It is important.

^ I call bs for two reasons. They're not allowed/supposed to add any adornment to themselves or their property. The Domino's sign does that. And the carriage doesn't have the legally required slow-moving vehicle triangle on the back.

The Cards closer (Helsley) jammed a finger on the last game of the regular season and was questionable for the playoff game. After a few pitches, it started effecting his throwing and he had a terrible game. Manager Marmol kind of threw him under the bus postgame, but he waited far to long to see what was happening and he let things get way out of hand before reacting. A lot of card fans are po'd at Marmol.

Good morning fellow D Leaguer's, read Acts 28 this morning. What a beautiful day here in the Berg 37 when I got up at 4 this morning, supposed to have frost tonight!

It's game day, I hope the CATS do better than the Cards yesterday!

Been working on Christmas ornaments this week, made 44. I have to get working on some THIN BLUE LINE BADGES, got them cut out (5) then clean them, foil and solder them. Wish I could send every one of the D one, shipping prices sucks!

We need a rain bad, need the rain to wash the dirt off the arrow heads so I can find them!!!! My son (JP's dad) found a bucket lister a couple weeks ago, he found a double-sided nutting stone! I wish I could post a picture but this ole country boy just can't!

Where I volunteer at Hope 2 All the first week in September, we gave out 406 food boxes, that's from 9-1, we were starting to run out of food so Feed America told us to just give out one a month from now on. Our director, who is a Baptist minister, came in Monday and ask one of the guys if he had his weapon with him, he said people were getting mad at him over it, (he was just kidding about the weapon), they are getting so use to handouts that they get mad if they don't, what they don't understand is, it's better to get one a month than none at all!

I can't hardly believe it's been almost a year (17th) since we lost JP, will try to fill the D in sometimes later on.

I hope the D, has a great day, prayers and go CATS and Cardinals!!! (NOT LOSERVILLE!!!!)

This alligator gar fish was caught in a fence during the hurricane. It is a favorite fish of the Seminole but I always thought they were to bony for my taste. And they are ugly if you ask me. These things get up to 8 feet and can weigh 300 lbs. Big enough to feed half a tribe of Seminoles.

They are one of the oldest species on earth and pre-date the alligator.

Good late morning all,

I am nearly in need of being in traction. Won't let My Darling know...I will post some pictures later.

Caught a 50 quart cooler FULL of huge blue crab using string, chicken legs (I think six or seven lines out at a given time), and a long- polled net. We started about 9AM yesterday and stopped about 7PM.

Had the chumps iced down last night and went to bed. The suckers are still alive and kicking...

My Darling is working on them now. Me, I am lying prone in bed dreading getting up. I was downstairs earlier looking at them but didn't stay long. My Darling lives for days like yesterday and I do like them but how does it go....the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak ..

Eh, I will make a pot of coffee shortly and go clean my lowest level. The BB's play room and my garage. Have a great day and..............

Go CATS!!!!!
