Was a little surprised to see UK as -17.5 point favorite against Vandy...Vandy is awful, maybe they have some injuries I don't know about, their last two games were a 3 point loss to Missouri and an 11 point loss to South Carolina. The final score against Ole Miss was bad (Kiffin scored a late needless TD to run up the score) but Vandy actually led that game at halftime. I think we will win, but I thought the line would be more like UK as a 10 or 12 point favorite.
 
Good morning All,

Arrived at my VA appointment a little over an hour early. This is my primary care who I am supposed to see annually. We shall see...

Working from home the rest of the day. I am off until Tuesday. (Burning some leave.)

One of those days I plan to take My Darling to harvest some oysters and clams. I may throw a couple poles in the trunk but that is not the target.

Have a great day...
 
Good Morning

Skies are cloudy and the temperature is 69°. Chances of rain are 21% and the high will be 72°. There is a little disturbance out in the Atlantic named Miss Nicole. She is 400 miles wide and probably will dump a lot of rain on the state.

Thank you Kentucky for re-electing Rand Paul, probably my favorite senator. Also I had a personal interest in the race of Andy Barr since he recommended my granddaughter for the USAFA. Nice win and a very nice person and excellent congressman.

Florida is officially deep red and very conservative. Not a single Democrat holds statewide office and Florida added 4 GOP to the U.S. Congress. What happened down here is one for the history books. Hispanics carried Palm Beach and Miami-Dade for DeSantis and I think we only had 5 counties in the state go Democrat. First time in history. When I grew up down here every county was Democrat.

I trust all are well and in good spirits and health.

Storms a brewing

Sawnee... I assumed you lived in KY and retired in Florida.

I'm still working on my first pot. I doubt I'll need another. Forgive me for my warped sense of humor. My wife shakes her head and rolls her eyes at my attempts at humor.
I was born and raised in Florida, 6th generation. Mothers side of the family goes back to the early 1800's in Florida. I attended UK from 1961-65, went into the Army and was stationed at Ft Knox.

My father was from the Pike County coal fields so that is my Kentucky connection. I do have a son and his family living in Lexington. He also graduated UK and married a Lexington girl. So he stayed up there.

Daddy and mother met in college in Tennessee, married and moved to Florida but daddy's heart stayed a Kentuckian until his final breath. He would fight a person over Kentucky.

We're in Letcher Co. one county south of Pike Co. My wife's family were all coal miners. Our BIL finally retired last year...the last one.
 
Good morning folks. Hope all is well.

I woke up this morning and there were no storm troopers checking passports at the Metro, no swastikas hanging off government building in downtown DC, so I guess Democracy didn't die overnight, as our enfeebled president had warned us.

A disappointing election but I predict what at least I would see as a Silver Lining: Both parties read the tea leaves and move away from Trump and Biden for 2024, and toward candidates that are less divisive. Or maybe the opposite will happen and the polarizing will continue.

My wife is heading out later today for a volunteer mission with other doctors and nurses from her hospital for South America -- Guyana -- a clinic not far from the notorious Jonestown. She's promised not to drink the Kool Aid. They go down there and teams perform surgeries, etc., on kids with no shot at it otherwise.

Need to get back to work. Have a great day.

While the good guys did pick up some seats in the house, the whole of the election for me was disappointing. It looks like it will be status quo in the senate. With as bad of a president and vice president we have it should have been a sweep of both which tells me there is either something wrong with the election process or "We the people" as a whole have lost our way.

Make no mistake about it. There is massive voter fraud going on electronically. I won't comment again in this forum as I value all of you as friends.
 
This morning one would expect our governor to be resting and celebrating a historic landslide victory. He flipped Palm Beach and Miami red for the first time in my life that I can remember.

But no, instead of resting, he has addressed the people of Florida getting them prepared for Hurricane Nicole. Instead of sitting around waiting for the storm he has the people prepared. He has sent the National Guard to areas in the path of the storm. He has about 20,000 utility workers ready to go to work. He has opened 50 hurricane shelters. He has first reponsders all over the state on standby alert.

When the storm hits he will have us prepared and ready as best as humanly possible. That is why we want our governor and first lady Casey with us four more years. He always seems to be ahead of the curve. Leadership.

Yes Sir,

We were to start our trek to Gainesville today but my Son mentioned what was coming and we and he thought better of it. (We will make the trip later if the Lord doesn't take us home.)
 
I get it every post. It has caused a double post a few times. I thought it was my computer however, the only time I have that issue is when posting on CI

Yes Sir,

It is a site issue. (Thought I was losing my mind for a bit, (Don't have much left to lose so I'm cautious.) I was on my phone and do not navigate as well as I should on it but when I sat down at my computer... yep.)
 
Has anyone noticed that when you post you get an error stating you have to wait to post again? Weird.... but all is still working so that's good.

No problem on this end.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 80°F. More warm weather expected until another front rolls through Thursday evening.

Cats looked good after a slow start last night. UK has some awesome shooters in Reeves and Frederick. Next up: Duquesne Dukes.

Election Day. Please vote if you have not already.

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

Good Election Day Morning

We had a good view of the Blood Moon about 5:45.
Our Red Moon was most entertaining. Skies were very clear.
 
Why the hell does it take so damn long to count votes in AZ?
Swamp critters have learned how to cheat and are very creative. Kari Lake's team has busted them twice. Right now it appears she has done it again. She has 1/2 million casted ballots they (her opponent Katie Hobbs & current Sec of State) tried not to count. Being a former investigative reporter with ears and eyes everywhere Kari Lake is said to have recieved information of shenanigans within 2 minutes after the polls opened. Republiicans saved the ballots to capture the cheating and has the evidence and ballots to validate her victory(?)​

If that's true then she's brilliant. May actually push the Senate race ahead as well. The vote count has been stuck on 66% for hours.

Sir you give me hope. Bless you, I have been in a funk KNOWING about the electronic treason.... In a complete funk.

Ich Auch (me too).

No problem on this end.
It's now evident who stayed up late last night watching the election returns and drinking and who didn't 😉.
 
I'm going to have to try a Yuengling sometime. Personally, my favorite drink is a Mike's Hard Black Cherry.

Yuengling is a mellow good tasting beer. Not a high alcohol content. If I'm on a drunk some evenings I will have three bottles. My normal is one. I liked a mixed drink from time to time but I don't have any liquor in the house.... (I'm lying, My Darling has some soju in the house for marinating some dishes she cooks. I drank some of that while in Korea and if you want some serious rock-gut whiskey, that is it. While in Korea about a ten ounce bottle was 70 cents. It has an after taste, makes you stink if you drink enough of it. (In Korea it was a seven day affair watching/ dodging drunks walking the roads.) They drank all the time. Nuff said. ;)

Good morning everyone.

Awake at 3:30 this morning...dang. We're doing some final preps at the deer lease today but already looking forward to watching the B-ball game tomorrow evening. I'll most likely be in a treestand during the Vandy football game so will miss that one.

Rain is in the forecast beginning tonight. We're needing it. The smell of fall forest fires is in the air here in the mountains.

Morning Legionnaires!

63° this morning with a hint of rain in the air. Today's high to be in the low 70's and a possibility of rain throughout the day and night. Winds 20-25mph with gust over 30mph.

Went to Sam's yesterday and ran into an old woman who had about 10 40lb bags of dog food on one of those big carts. I jokingly ask her if she had a pack of dogs and she said: "Basically, yes". She said she lived on a farm and had several Pyrenees that run around their place protecting their animals. I told her I understand and that I had 3 Pyrenees mixes and know how much food they eat a day as I too was buying more dog food. I have had several breeds/mixed breeds of dogs in my lifetime and have found that the Great Pyrenees (for me) are the best dogs to have as companions and guardians of the house. Affectionate, protective, and very loyal breed.

Well, not much going on today. Workout (shortly) this morning, train my student at 10:00 and then back home for my daily nap.

For those going to work, safe journeys and God Bless.
