Getting ready to leave the house for 2 softball games 6:30 and 7:30 tonight. Weather hit 60° today and is there now. light winds but it is supposed to pick up shortly as the temp drops to low 30's overnight. Got a long sleeve undershirt on just in case it drops a lot while we play.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 45°F and clear. Calm. Today's high expected at around 72°F. Nice. Our coldest mornng since March 25. My favorite time of the year. Might wear a jacket on my morning walk. Warming up tomorrow. Chance for rain next week.

Texas power grid continues to see record demand. Just experienced an all-time October record. All those California peeps moving here.

Happy Hump Day.

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

Good morning,

There is a chill in the air. 45° as we work our way up to 67° with mostly sunny skies and no rain for the day.

I am barefoot and will remain so no matter how far the temperature drops around here. Today is physical therapy on the shoulder and then a few hours working out on the machines, treadmill, etc. Cardiovascular stuff.

Bacon frying and the coffee is good on this chilly morning.

Trust all are well.

Morning Legionnaires!

37° right now with a high of 69° expected. Light winds and all sunshine in the forecast.

Lost both games last night 14-13 and 19-17 as I went 4-6 at the plate. The fight after the last game was a draw as 2 people (one from us and one from the other team) were bleeding from the head. Our left fielder and their shortstop have a history and (as I found out last night) have had scuffles in the past. Both men are in their 30's and married with kids. Both were jaw jacking during the game and when the game was over, and we were in the line to shake hands their shortstop sucker punched our left fielder, and it was on. Did not last long as members of both teams pulled them apart with both sustaining head injuries (nothing serious just a little bleeding). There were a couple on each side squaring up but nothing else happened.

Their pitcher was bouncing around like ricochet rabbit telling people he was a black belt in BJJ. He was a scrawny young man probably in his early 20's. One of my guys turned to me and said "OK Mac, this one is yours" I just shook my head and laughed as one of the older guys on his team who knew me grabbed the kid as I was trying to tell him to just leave it be and go back their dugout. As I walked and talked with the older guy near their dugout Ricochet was still yapping from the dugout and said to me, "you don't know who you're messing with" That's when the guy I was talking too told him to shut up and sit down.

Three men were ejected from the field (our leftfielder, their shortstop, and Ricochet). Ahh well, youthful exuberance.

Good morning, D, Read Romans 10 this morning, what a powerful verse!!!!

Any of the D ever seen the satellite train, pretty amazing.

I have been busy, but I keep up with the D, I have been working on my glass ornaments, I have made somewhere around 85 the last couple weeks, got 25 laying on the worktable ready to be soldered. Solder, when I started about 20 years ago, I was paying less than $5 for a pound roll of solder, I found some cheap solder at Hobby Lobby for $23, some places for name brand is $30! Thanks Joe!!!!

Bert, my twisted sister was at Jackson's Orchard yesterday, she bought me some Fuji apples, best one I have had!!!
It was really good with peanut butter!!!!

We have had two days in a row with 29 degrees, but what beautiful days!!! Got a message from my farmer friend, they cut their soybeans Sunday, time to arrow hunt!!!! My son found a bucket lister on our last hunt, a double-sided nutting stone, one side was stained really dark where they had cracked walnuts on that side. We just need some rain to wash the dirt off the arrow heads now!!!

I hope the D has a great day and prayers for the D!!! Please keep my sons in your prayers, Jason is still struggling with our loss of JP and my other son is a policeman! I keep up with the D, trying to get back in here with yawl, you guys help me dealing with things!!! Lucky to have found yawl!!!

Good morning D-League.

Nice photo of Philly 41102.

Quick story -My wife and I really like Philly. It’s only a two hour drive for us. Lots of amazing history and museums. One late winter morning in 2020 we just got the urge for a Cheesesteak, got in the car and drove to Philly, went to Geno’s for lunch (we give them the slightest edge over Pat’s cheesesteaks) hit a few of our favorite museums, had dinner at a great Italian spot we know and drove home. The next day all the COVID restrictions hit, and it turned out to be our last road trip for a while.

Cold morning today -low 30s. Heading for work on the subway. Hope you all have a great day.

Morning fellers.

Know what happened 59 years ago today?

A little barely 18 year old girl and I got ourselves hitched.

You two must have been in love for it to last 59 years. You got me and Sherry by 3 years.



Love is wonderful.

Of course without pictures it did not happen. Here is my Sherry 5 years into our marriage:

I guy I knew many years ago was going to divorce his wife. I think he had 3 or 4 kids.
The judge told him how much his child support was going to be. He said he didn't even make that much money. The judge said, "Well, I guess you are just going to have to get another job then". He told the judge. "Hell, I'd rather live with the old bitch if that's the way it's gonna be." Then he got up and walked out.

Congrats to Starchief for 59 years of marriage and Bert for his lovely bride. What was she thinking?

On another topic: I saw a stat today that is sobering as hell for Reds fans. In February 2019, the Padres signed Manny Machado to a 10-year, $300 million deal. A week later the Phillies signed Bryce Harper to a 13-year, $330 million deal. Everybody said both teams were crazy to tie up that much money. But this week, 4 seasons later, those teams will compete for the NL Pennant.

In other words, you got to spend money to compete. But as the idiot, incompetent son of failed Reds owner Bob Castellini said in April, "Where you gonna go, Reds fans?" I don't know where I'm going to go, but I'll repeat what I said of Phil Castellini then - he can go to hell.

Hey D-Ler's. I had a great weekend back in StL last weekend. The Golf team that I was on came in second which was pretty impressive knowing the cheating that was going on. :)

Anyway, keep an eye on the skies the next few days/nights...I heard there may be some weird stuff going on. Anywho...👽👽👽

So walk out of the bridge club tonight at 945 & standing on the roof of the car right outside under the safety spotlight is a great horned owl! We were within about 15'. Just gorgeous all light up and flicking his head around. And big. Five more people came out & he took off before we could get a photo. Never knew they'd stand around that low or would tolerate people for 20-30 sec. A just wow moment.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 52°F, clear and calm. Today's high maxing out around 86°F. Rain chances improving for next Monday.

Heading into the office this morning. They are re-imaging my work laptop this because my OS came down on a list. Should not take more than 2 hours. Providing me with a loaner.

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

Good morning all,

My Darling and I are hanging a shingle again. Going fishing. It is cold and only getting in the 50's today but we are going to try. Heading to Maryland again to the other naval base. Patuxent River MD. We shall see. More for fishing this trip. There is supposed to be three fishing spots on that base.....

Have a great day.

Good morning D-League.

Cool and clear again today.

I see the Astros got a jump on the Yankees and the Padres have evened things with the Phillies.

I confess I’m struggling to care. Baseball was a big part of my life, not just as a kid but as a young adult. I feel like I barely recognize the game now. I wonder if younger people have the same fanatical enthusiasm I once did. I know the crowds are bigger than ever in many cities.

I saw a box score from one of the Yankees-Indians games the other day. (Sorry, they are not the Guardians to me.) 18 pitchers were used between the teams. Bizarre. I once saw Jim Maloney and Bob Veale both on the mound through 12 innings of a game that ended 1-0.

Enough old man rant. I hope you all are doing well. Looking forward to the weekend -Blue-White game and a day with my lovely daughter through haunted scenery.

Morning Legionnaires!

44° this morning with a high around 80°, moderate winds, and sunny skies. Will cut the grass tomorrow for the last time this year, I am sure. Supposed to be around 90° tomorrow with low 90's for Saturday. Fishing will happen Saturday and maybe tomorrow if I feel like it after cutting the grass.

Working out here shortly and then later this morning, off to do the Mr. Miyagi thing. Vegged out yesterday for the most part except for replacing the 2 lift cylinders on the rear hatch of my hooptie (2006 KIA Sportage). Watched a couple of videos on it (for reference) to make sure I was doing it right and found out (once again) that people making some of these videos out there really aren't experts (nor am I which is why I watched videos). While the way they did it would work, they made it a little more difficult than it needed to be.
