Well, I was bored & trying to get sleepy. I succeeded.
D-League

- Start date
Ditto for me too.
Good morning from North Smiths Grove, KY. Currently 62.4°F and cloudy. Today's high expected at around 78°F. We actually have some clouds in the sky. It is so strange to see them. This, I believe, is the driest October of my life in this part of the world.
Berniecarbo as one gets older it is important to learn that we are becoming more fragile. I know you young punks don't realize that yet, but it happens!

Market hopping....no complaints here. I obtain the results. 😍
Blue White game in a little less than 3 hours.
This is the only game of the year that we Cats can't lose.

My Darling bought a case of cabbage. (Napa cabbage.) among other items I barely had room for in my trunk. Assorted soups and side dishes are coming. I am thankful...
Edit: Do you notice no grocery bags... We do not do bags here in Fairfax county as there is a FIVE CENT tax on EACH bag. Yeah no charge but a five cent tax.

Lower left back/hip been killing me since Monday. Eased up a bit today. I'm on a collusion course with a hip replacement. The only variable is time.Berniecarbo as one gets older it is important to learn that we are becoming more fragile. I know you young punks don't realize that yet, but it happens!
Blue-White game at the half: W 52, B 48.
Plenty good shooting. Weak on the D. It's practice.

Hey folks back from a long, enjoyable, but tiring day driving through the Shenandoah Valley with my daughter. Now i face a few hours of mindless chatter with our house guests - my wife's college roomie and her husband. Ah well. The price of being in a marriage. And a small one.
Missed the Blue-White game. Who stood out?

Several looked good; however, I am still trying to figure out who is who. Three did not play, Sahvir Wheeler, Oscar Tshiebwe and Lance Ware. C.J. Frederick looked good. Toppin and Collins impressed me. The big guy seems really agile for a man of his length.
It was so disorganized that it was distracting. The quality of the production sucked big time and Cal shortened the second half to 10 minutes. No commercials but many, many times the guys doing the "play by play" did not know what was going to happen next. If you have SEC Network + you can probably still watch it as it will start over again if you hit play.
Carries all his sense (cents) in his pocket ..

If you have any skeleton decorations for Halloween or rocking chairs...you better be on the look out!
From the article:
Footage from a Ring doorbell camera captured a man driving up to the victim’s Austin home in a black truck on Thursday at about 6:00 p.m.
The owner told FOX 7 Austin that he zip-tied the skeleton to the rocker, hoping to deter thieves, but the thief just decided to take off with both items.
The thief is seen loading the gangly ghoulish decoration into the back of a black truck with a waiting accomplice inside.
This is not the first skeleton-stealing incident to hit the Austin area.
Earlier this week, a neighbor’s Ring camera caught another thief stealing a 14-foot skeleton decoration in broad daylight.

You get taxed for grocery bags? Did I read that correct.My Darling bought a case of cabbage. (Napa cabbage.) among other items I barely had room for in my trunk. Assorted soups and side dishes are coming. I am thankful...

No bones about, these guys are ghoulish thieves.
Good Sunday morning D-League. It's currently 46° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 77°.
It's looking like a Phillies-Astros World Series. Phillies are up 3-1 and the Astros are up 3-0 and have yet to lose a postseason game.
Have a great day.

Good morning D-League. Beautiful day in the east.
Still not sleeping well since I learned of the passing of my friend, so I’ll keep it short and wish you all well.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 67°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 90°F. Possibility for rain and cooler temperatures tomorrow as another front rolls in.
Watched couple football games yesterday and Blue-White game, of course. It appears Cats have some shooters on the roster this season, not taking anything away from Kellen Grady or Davion Mintz. On the other hand, poor production quality by SECN+. Perhaps because of location (Pikeville)?
Grocery shopping and chores on today's agenda. May watch a little NFL.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

We do not get grocery bags at Costco or Sam's Club but I always thought that was because we were saving money. But I do not know of any grocery store where you get charged or taxed for bagging groceries.
We get a choice of paper or plastic. Free of charge and someone will offer to take the groceries to your car. If it is raining they will offer you an umbrella.
Below is an actual photo taken at Santa Maria Island. Beautiful colors.
I would leave the damned county. The tree huggers and climate change guys want to depopulate the globe. Screw them and the jack ass they rode in on.
Back at it, doing what I do on a Sunday after church... helping the daughter(s).... computer work non-the-less.... I am thankful!
They started charging for plastic grocery bags -paper not an option - in my Maryland county years ago to “offset global warming.” I bought 3-4 cheap bags of my own and force them to use mine —in a number of years I’ve never paid the bag tax. On the few occasions I’ve forgotten my bags I just make them load the stuff into carts, I load it in my car and carry it in the house un-bagged. A small price to pay to give the far-left county council the middle finger.We do not get grocery bags at Costco or Sam's Club but I always thought that was because we were saving money.

Charging a nickel per plastic bag is nothing more than a money grab by some greedy politicians.It's for the children Sir...

Sir,
When we have a chance, as soon as we have a chance, we will. (Looking for a ranch home in a retirement community in Prince William county.) A lot of amenities where we live but the living arrangements are not good as far as housing. I'd hate to tell what we paid for our current house that we never liked before we bought it. I have 20 years in 1-3-2023, then all bets are off.... I am still thankful as I have half my family around us. (My two daughters and two of my now/ soon to be six grand children...)... I complain but I know who holds tomorrow and I know who holds my hand. (I say that not guardedly as I have example after example of where and when God has intervened on my behalf. Too many to discount it to "luck".)
I just hope things really change here in about two weeks...... Then I will better know what we have to do...

Exactly! Some real gutter trash. My only hope is this time in about two weeks some real commitments for change are implemented. If not we're toast...
Edit: there was once a contract with America, this better happen again for real.
Watching the Bengals play, and they started out like gangbusters early only to cool off slightly and are holding on to an 18-point lead early in the 4th quarter.
Weather in the 80's today with a 20-degree shift coming tomorrow. Easy to see why with the wind whipping around 30mph constant. Rain in the forecast for tomorrow as a burn ban is in effect here for the wind is so high and the ground so dry.

When this covid bs started, I needed to go in Rulers grocery for two items. You had to wait in line so many feet apart and an employee gave you permission to enter. I grudgingly went a!ong with it. When it was my turn to enter, the lady said you have to take a cart. I told her I only wanted two items and didn't need a cart. I guess they figured if you had a cart, it would keep people further apart. That was my limit. I said I guess I didn't need to shop there after all. As I walked away, she offered me a quarter to pay for the cart. I smiled and said 25 cents is not the point as I walked away. We have a very lefty governor who did a lot of damage with his bs covid rules.
Yep, I reuse Walmart bags from Prince William county. If I need them I have them. Yeah, it is getting ridiculous. I won't get political but it is too much paying for all lunacy left ideas through ALL tax payers. It MUST stop soon. (Taking a break.)
HA HA... I bought my son candy cigarettes a lot while he was growing up. You know, he never one time had to worry about second-hand fat. The boy never even had baby fat. The turkey had a wash board stomach at four.
Does have that dunlap disease now though from some recent pictures...
Speaking of turkey, we are having that for dinner tonight.
It has been a rewarding Sunday and I am winding down to start a new week.
I received a nice text from one of my granddaughters, the one who is a Cadet at the USAF Academy and she had what she called an "epic" weekend. I guess that means good in young people speak.
She did the German Proficency Challenge and was one of only three women at the Academy who tried it. She came through with flying colors and got the Gold. If you pass there are three levels of awards: bronze, silver and gold.
The test is off the charts. You have a fitness test, a markmanship test, medical and mopp gear test, 100 mm swim in OCP's, and a 12km ruck with 35 pounds.
Being one of only 3 girls in the Academy to even compete and winning a gold is quite an accomplishment for an 18 year old. You have to hit every target in marksmanship to get a gold . 5 of 5. (edit: 17 of 17) She said she was tired but it felt amazing to do it. The girl has always had guts.
To be honest I had never heard of the German Proficiency Badge. The test was administered by German military. Here is a picture of the badge you are authorized to wear. It is worn on the left breast pocket. Perhaps some of you ex-military guys who are younger than me have heard of it. It was all German to me.

Listening to this classic album taped in Toronto's Church of the Holy Trinity in 1987. Unusual because all band members were crowded around a single microphone during recording. Turned out just fine.
Wow is all I will say. I am a Windows man and have been translating my expertise to a macbookpro. (Actually my expertise in windows is long antiquated as I work in a much different environment now..) I backed up my daughters data using apple products and then verified it actually worked. (I had to clear an external hard drive I had then format it to be compatible with apple.) I did that and then erased the macbook, formatted it and am now waiting for the image to finish. Once it does I will throw Office for MAC on it and install McAfee. THEN it will be all hers again. (I have a copy of her data but I am not reinstalling it unless asked and then only what she asks for as she had some old data on it. If all works I may upgrade her memory.... We shall see but it took a while....
