Yep, a Cats win, a Bengals win, and a UL loss is my normal trifecta for a good weekend. UL had an off week so...I will take the other two for this past weekend.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
Good morning D-League. It's currently 49° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring a partial clearing and a high of 56°.
Everyone stay safe on this Monday.

Good morning D League. Cloudy and cool today. Looks like rain is coming.
I slept in a bit after staying up much later than usual both weekend nights.
But now back to work. So I’ll catch up with you all later. I hope it’s a good day.

Got restrictions on your drivers license and then have corrective eye surgery? Be sure to have your license changed to reflect that. Got stopped over the weekend and State Trooper wasn’t happy. Never crossed my mind to do that. Got pulled over in the scales in Indiana on way to Chicago to make delivery.
We have two weather warnings today. High winds and drought conditions are putting us on an elevated fire warning. Tonight a freeze warning. Talk about night and day.
My Dad just had cataract surgery last week. I'm assuming this would apply. I'll let him know. Thanks for the heads up.
Sunny and 46.9°F. We are going to 55° then it plunges down to 29 and climbs up to 51°. No rain in sight. We are really dry.
Well Kentucky is now ranked 19 (AP) and 18 (Coaches), we moved up and Mississippi State got to remain in the polls at 24 in both.
I hope that this does not come off as bitching: How is Utah 15? Unranked Florida beat them. They beat USC but lost to UCLA. Utah was the only ranked team that USC has played, yet they are still ranked number 12. Plus we all know that the West coast teams are wonderful until they play a team in a decent conference.
BYU was near the top ten until they played a couple decent teams, like Oregon and Arkansas. Notre Dame last week was bragging about beating BYU. Power house Cincinnati has played one decent team, Arkansas, and lost to them yet they still are in the rankings. Arkansas only got a couple votes.
I will not address the ACC, what a crap show.
It is a tough place to play but I am sure glad that UK is in the SEC. We have the best conference known to College football and it ain't even close.

You got that right Bert, and the SEC today is probably stronger than any conference has ever been in history. Four of the Top Seven. A quarter of the Top 25 -- and teams outside the Top 25 like Arkansas, Texas A&M and others that could probably win the PAC-12 and maybe the Big-12 and finish in the top two of the ACC.
Well, in addition, granddaughter's Purdue won - I was at that game & spent the evening scoreboard watching though it was a fun game, and true football - they use their feet a lot - FCC won thier MLS playoff game.
Good afternoon all,
I was up and to work early. I am only working through Wednesday this week and my work doesn't go away ...
I walked to the microwave to warm my coffee this morning and one of my coworkers was wearing a UT orange pullover. He's a decent guy so far but I laughed out loud only due to the fact with his build he looked like a jack-o'-lantern. He was a happy jack-o'-lantern though....
Sure was some vocal angst in a couple areas of my building though...

I have been thinking about eye surgery....just thinking. My reading is getting rough but it is not horrible. Distance is okay.
I have some eye pills I saw that I am going to try a bottle. Who knows... I didn't see any bad ingredients.
Sure wish I had my vision I had before I turned 40..... My brother is 71 and has no visual issues. I am thankful but will keep trying to thwart the bad eyesight....
Went to the DMV today. New eye test, got a new license and was good to go.
You're just speaking the truth Bert. If UK was in the ACC, they'd be in ACC Championship most likely. There's no way they're not better than UNC, Syracuse, or Wake Forest. On the other hand, UK is most likely looking at being the 3rd best team in the SEC East.
I remember that, it was rough stuff (I ingested a ton of it, notice I didn't say digested...
). All the while butter has no better substitute health-wise.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 57°F, a bit windy and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 70°F. Fall finally here in Central Texas! Cold front moved through. Wearing long pants for first time since April while out walking this morning.
Local news just reported Dallas-area Fentanyl overdoses up 500% since 2019. Yikes! It appears we've got a serious epidemic going on.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning D
The temperature is 69° but a "cold front" is headed our way that may drop the temperatures into the mid 40's tonight. Today's high will reach 75°.
I trust all are well and have a nice day.

I hate when we have a week off in football, as a fan...2 weeks between games is too much haha.
I think we have flaws, but Tennessee is going to be in a dog fight.

Morning Legionnaires!
41° this morning with the high expected around 60. Whooo! Hoooo! I'll take it for a day or so then back up into the 80's for a week. Looking forward to the cooler weather even though it is only a couple of days. Fishing will be thrown off but, when it warms up for the days following, I will be back on track.
Wife bought two turkeys on Friday (.68 a pound) with the intent to keep one frozen until just before Thanksgiving and the other to be cooked this weekend. Figured while they were under a dollar it was best to get them now. I love turkey so; I am good with it. With prices still going up we must take advantage of the prices now.
My mortgage went up $195.00 more for next month. All of the increase was in the tax and insurance area. Biggest increase ever by far so, I will be on the phone with the mortgage company sometime today and ask why such a large increase. Hopefully they are not gouging because of the current inflation problems.
At any rate, Thanks Joe Biden!
Rant over.
Good morning D-League.
this is guessing weather. Do I need a sweater? Fleece? Heavy coat? I guessed nothing today and was wrong. Medium jacket would have been correct.
Still, clear and beautiful.
Really feeling like basketball season.
Looking forward to this weekend. My middle daughter and I are planning our annual Halloween tour of the Shenandoah Valley -see the changing leaves along the Appalachian Trail then take in some of the fun, spooky history. All the 17th and 18th century towns up there are steeped in ghost stories. It’s no random thing they set the Blair Witch movie in the small town of Burkittsville at the foot of South Mountain. She’s going to book us a ghost tour or two.
Gotta grind out the rest of this week first. Hope it’s a good day for all.

I recently found out the Old Home Place, the house I was taken to after my birth, may still be standing. Well, the wood from it that is.
This old house was built by my grandpa in the early 1900's and was torn down after he died and the farm/ranch divided up and developed. The man who tore it down took the wood and build another house a few miles away. The wood was cypress and pretty much lasts forever. The man's grandson is one of my best friends and he will help me try to locate it. It is located somewhere between Largo - Clearwater but that area is solid development now.
If I can locate the house it will be a big deal to me. And it gives me something to do.

Little chilly down by Corbin this morning.

Good morning good folks of the D. It was a cold 33°F this morning at 6:30am but we had enough cloud cover to avoid a frost, of course it has already frosted twice so it does not matter. It is now 37.8° but we are not supposed to get past 53. Still no chance of rain.
I went for my annual eye checkup yesterday (in Bowling Green) and down I-65 the color of the trees was quit impressive. Part of the color is because of lack of rain, but also the rain does not knock the colored leaves off the trees. The sun was bright and the colors wonderful.
I have to figure out a way to record the Friday night Blue white game off ESPN+. It is hard to get around the HDCP (High Definition Copyright Protection) that they encode to keep folks like me from making a copy of it. Intel came up with the technology and I don't know how to get around it. Last year I could get around it by using my BluRay player instead of the smart TV; however, now ESPN will not let their app work on any devise that has an HDMI outlet on it. My only hope is to get it off my computer. They are about to end my hobby. It really pisses me off because I do not sell the games, I just want to have copies of them.

My folks came to Kentucky from Amherst County. It is on the Piedmont side of the valley. Pretty country over there.
I spent two summers in college working on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I dated and got engaged to a long legged North Carolina girl. She dropped my ass the second summer. Virginia was just up the road. In fact we parked off the Parkway just over the Virginia line. Fun times.
Yeah, it's really nice out Route 340 west from Frederick, Maryland.
That little corner near Harper's Ferry you can pass through three states -- Va-Md-WVA -- in fewer than five minutes. That's the area I'm talking about. We range from Frederick, Maryland through towns like Sheppardstown, Maryland, Sharpsburg, Maryland, Harper's Ferry WVA, Martinsburg, WVA, on out to Winchester, Virginia -- hometown of Virginia Patterson Hensley, better known as Patsy Cline. That's one of the towns I got married in along the way (there were only two.)
We take back-roads through the hills. Ground trod by Stonewall Jackson and many another hero of the Army of Northern Virginia.
I was pleased to see Keith Whitley is being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. His young career was tragically cut short like many other greats but while on earth he was a super talent.
What could have been had it not been for those demons that got control of his life.

Sherry's, my wife, great great grandfather, a man named Ritter, was born in Frederick, MD and migrated to Kentucky.
On the Patriots: my Fourth 4th granduncle was Patrick Henry's lawyer, an British officer in the French and Indian war and a Col. in the Virginia line in the revolution. His brother Benjamin Aimsley Higginbotham, my 4th great grandfather, fought with him in the revolution; along with Ben's son, Ben Junior. Ben Junior's son, Larkin claimed the land in the west (Kentucky) and that is how my folks ended up in this area.
So a big portion of my family and my wife's family came to Kentucky from that area because of the American Revolution.
I love history.

Last's as long as three weeks or so too, right... 😅

Sir,
I seriously liked his music and then he was gone. Lorrie Morgan had a hard time too from what I read.

Insurance companies and taxes, taxes and insurance.... fight the chumps. Blacken both eyes.... (I have a bout with them too shortly.) Interests rates at 2.25 fixed, hallelujah but the other two................Bidenomics along with a communistic opportunity... (I will stop, I will stop...)

Global warming Sir, global warming...or is it climate change? I always get those two confused as I have no agenda...
If it gets below 70 degrees we will call it the return of the Ice AgeGlobal warming Sir, global warming...or is it climate change? I always get those two confused as I have no agenda...
Sir,
xbox has some capture technology built into Windows 10. I know they did some changing but I captured a lot of training video's off Youtube that way. (Youtube hosted but I paid for the training and was able to record it using the capture technology. I think that was added to having to pay extra now but I am not sure of the cost. May be worth taking a gander depending on what operating system you run...
You know a lot more about computers than me, but the HDCP is for real. I want studio quality video, 1080 lines at 34 frames a second. Intel knows what you are doing if you route the signal to a TV versus some other devise. If you do it 1/30 of a second later they shut down your devises. They are smart.
The stuff of YouTube is not top quality and I want good stuff.
Last year I could go through my BluRay player to pick up the games on ESPN+ run it through a cheap Chinese splitter and it would defeat the HDCP. Now you can not get ESPN+ on your BluRay player (they figured out what guys like me were doing i.e. if you have a devise that you can capture the signal on and use it then they shut down the apps on any device that has an HDMI output). It has to go directly to your smart TV. So you cannot get the signal from your TV to reproduce it. The guys at Disney and Intel are smarter than me. I have been trying to find some illegal software to defeat the HDCP and I can't find it.
Out of my league Sir. I stay careful if at all possible. I will send you a site in a side bar.
Yep, I think we compared notes before Bert and concluded along about 1680-1750 or so your wife's kin and my immediate ancestors must have been near-neighbors. My great-great-(etc.) grandfather owned a "plantation" -- whatever that meant in those days -- along the Monocacy River which runs just south of the town of Frederick, MD.
