D-League

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D-League.

Been a longish morning already. Saw my wife off on her trip to South America to be part of a mission to provide surgical help for kids in Guyana.

I always enjoy the first 24-48 hours of being alone, but the good vibe fades pretty quick. I’ve been part of a couple for most of the past 45 years and it’s a pretty engrained habit.

I see Louisville lost to Bellarmine last night. They made a late push to keep it close so the celebrating at U6 has probably begun.

Clear, crisp and cool in DC. Feels like hunting weather though it has been years since I did any hunting. My dad loved it and I loved going with him. Quail mostly, though now and then we’d get a few rabbits for his mother’s stew. Good memories.

I hope you all have a good day.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 64° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky this afternoon will be mostly cloudy to start, with occasional rain late and a high 75°.

Have a great day.

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.

Ha! My neighbor below me (again, think mountains) has a young Pyrenees. I stepped out on the porch this morning to sit on the porch and watch the bird feeder and drink coffee. I didn't make it one step and the dog was barking at me for the next 20 minutes.

 

[berniecarbo]

When my folks lived on a farm, they had a Great Pyrnees. He was big and friendly. He used to leave them gifts by the front door sometimes. The biggest was a deer carcass.

I like boxers better. They are a barrel of laughs, known as the clowns of the dog world. They are very athletic. It's said if dogs formed a football team, boxers would be the linebackers.

Good morning D

Been sitting on the lanai enjoying a very pleasant breeze as Miss Nicole passes through the state. We have a little moisture but no damage and no weather issues. Just a stiff and pleasant breeze

It is 68° and the high will be 72° with 100% chance of rain this afternoon. At the present time it is not raining but wet and a stiff breeze.

I guess they are still counting votes in Arizona and Nevada

I trust all have a pleasant day and good tidings of joy to all.

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(?)​

I feel good about this. Kari Lake will be a good governor and clean up the voting mess out there.

This is what Ron DeSantis did his first day in office. Florida had the most screwed up election process in America so he fired the Supervisor of Elections in Palm Beach and got rid of the one in Broward County too. The home of hanging chads.

Now it is one of the best and was able to count 7.5 million votes within 5 hours of the polls closing.

Yeah, they do let you know when someone/thing is around.

We have a Pitt mix that I think is half boxer and half Pitt. Her body is boxer like but the head says Pitt. She is a rescue dog and the organization we got her from said she was half Pitt but was unsure of the other breed. Apparently, she had been abused by a former owner and is skittish and somewhat aggressive towards men. She stays away from me for the most part occasionally coming around if wife and daughter are not here. She has bitten me twice while I was messing around with my daughter. She is my daughter's dog and will not let me mess with her. She drew blood once but, it was not bad. I simply chastised her for it and she backed off. That was before the monster (Anatolian Sheppard/Pyrenees mix) got here. Now that she is grown, when the Pitt growls at me the monster gets in between us and puts a stop to it.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Why the hell does it take so damn long to count votes in AZ?

Because it is run by a Democrat that is running for Gov. They even ran out of paper ballots! GEEZE, they need to get out of the damned sun.

We had 3 boxers at one time. We had Maddie, but a rescue had 2 boxers, a mom and a pup (both white). The mom was full of buckshot and deaf. She was the friendliest dog I ever saw despite her abuse, but the pup was scared of everything, particularly men. After a couple of months he got used to me, but never really adjusted to other men. Maddie had to teach him how to play and they became best friends.

Good morning folks. It is a sunny 59.5°F on our way to 76° with no chance of rain. I am hoping Nicole will bring us some rain before it gets cold Saturday.

Rooster that is good stuff on Kari Lake. She sure is a fine looking lady and smart as can be. She would be a good Gov.

My old friend Ritchie Curtis is going to be here Friday night for a good part of the next week and Ymmot is coming down probably to watch the Vandy game and we are going to cook some baby back ribs Saturday after the game. I will start smoking mine before the game. It is a rib off. Ymmot fixes his and I fix mine. I am going to try to give him the bad rack!

@storm1507 good luck on the deer hunting.

I got some work to do so see you good folks later.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Just returned from an evacuation drill. Short. Cloudy, but pleasant outside.

Already back.

Good late morning,

Stayed up late, got up late. Taking My Darling to an early dinner. Shopping hopping, and a couple other runs. Have a memorable day in a good way.

In Florida they start counting mail in votes when received. They don't wait until polls close on election day. And you can track your vote on line. I did it.

I have been there often.

Pittsburgh is a nice town until lately. Pittsburg, the town that steel and coal build, and now the dumb asses have elected a Senator that hates both industries. How do they get that damned stupid.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Well the sun did not come out today and years ago if it did not come out we got a free newspaper. But with the demise of newspapers that is just a thing of the past.

Tropical storm remnants are all that is left of the Hurricane that hit the East coast and we did not have damage over here just some palm fronds in my yard and lots of soaking, good ole' rain.

I see susidized behavior. Mtn lions are the same. They'll eat their prefered prey (Big horned sheep) into extinction then drop down the mountain to eat a calf. Do-gooders make sure the cat is not hunted. Not being woke, these Tommies fight for productive territories with food and Mollies. Multiply the old fashion way humping out families. Don't hunt because they don't have to. Learn to live on subsidies until rare prefered prey populations that no longer exist are reintroduced. This behavior is not new. It's wildlife management. Without wolves,to punch them, bison and elk become lazy government cows that destroy ecosystem diversity as well sniffing out prefererred forage to gobble up. Wolves being smart eat the dumb or lazy.​

It's puzzling for sure.

Anywho, just wanted to do a buzz by the D-L. Temps are about to take the plunge here in LVille. Speaking of which, tough loss for the Birds last night. That's too bad...

 

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone.

Happy Veteran's Day and thank you to all that served.

Baby sitting for our nearly 2 yr old great, great niece today and doing a few errands. Then I'll watch the ball game and get to bed early tonight.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and cloudy. Today's high expected around 71°F. Monster cold front moving through after thunderstorms pushing temperatures down to 39°F.

Off today, but must take pup to vet for an ultrasound at 8 am. Plan on hitting up BJs Brewhouse for lunch. Riding bus around 3 pm to main shopping area and dropping by Red Robin and Buffalo Wild Wings. Back by 6 pm for the game.

Duquesne Dukes vs Cats tonight at 6 pm CST. Go Cats!

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

Veterans day. My son spent most of Wednesday putting them out in Spencer County. In Smiths Grove our Ladies Club does it.

It is a warm 59.9°F and we are to get to 65°F before the temps start going down really good tonight. It is supposed to get to 34° early tomorrow morning.

We so far have been gifted with .35" of rain so far and it is raining pretty hard as I type.

Game tonight. I love basketball.

Morning Legionnaires! Happy Veterans Day!

43° this morning with the high of 44° expected. Very windy this morning making if feel much colder.

Wife wants to go shopping this morning so we will be leaving in about 2 hours or so.

In remembrance of Veterans Day, I was looking through some old pictures from back around 1977-78. The one pictured below was between me and another soldier named Brewer who was a big Nebraska farm boy. We were horsing around and doing a little Army hand to hand throws and I got him up in the air demonstrating a hip throw. No, no one got hurt. We were getting ready to go out for a night on the town in Frankfurt Germany.

 

[warrior-cat]

Oh and buy the way... IT'S GAME DAY!

Here you go hunters and outdoorsmen. The perfect Christmas present for the man who has everything.

Happy Veterans Day fellow vets

Now fall in and rise and shine. We have a job to do.

Good morning D-League. Rainy and cold in the east. I put on some rain gear and took a walk but after about a mile I was getting soaked and freezing and decided I had too much work to do and scampered home like a wuss.

Thanks to all the veterans in the group.

For Veterans Day I commissioned a writer to interview some veterans who'd served in different conflicts -- including two people I'd first met while covering Desert Storm. I thought it came out pretty good, if anyone is looking for something Veterans Day related to read.

Not a tease for the package, but I found the first guy a real bad ass: A Lakota who traced his family back to specific men who fought Custer, then through servving in the US Army in WW1 and WW2. He was a combat medic and Vietnam, and his sons have served in Iraq. Now that's some serious family heritage. The Vietnamese American who was a refuge as a kid and ended up a Marine chopper pilot is a guy I got to know in Saudi in 1990-91, and we've stayed friends. And the female surgeon shot down over Iraq in a rescue chopper was also someone I knew during Desert Storm. A good friend of mine wrote her book.

Fighting for Our Freedom

For many of these Americans, serving their country is a family tradition

Now THAT'S a dip....

Glad I am aware of your persuasion....

Also glad we are about a thousand miles apart.

I knew if we lived close you'd be chasing me most days, and from what I've learned you'd catch me too. I'm just a hard head.

Yeah, I say it but some don't believe me. I "ain't" got the sense God gave a goose....

My 3rd cousin was a Pearl Harbor (Arizona) survivor who just passed away a few years ago. My Mom is from Alaska and Washington and I did not even know this until about 10 years ago. He wrote a book "Second to the Last to Leave" and was the last to be interred on the Arizona. Interesting man and it was unfortunate that I never had the opportunity to meet him.

Pearl Harbor Veteran Expected To Be Last USS Arizona Survivor Interred On Ship

Lauren Bruner died in September and on Saturday, his remains will return to the USS Arizona. He is expected to be the final USS Arizona survivor to be interred on the sunken warship.

On veterans day my 55 year old son was able to get into his dress blues.

A lazy rainy day and I'm thankful. I thought we may have headed out to harvest some oysters. I'd have done it but it's about a hundred and eighty mile trip one way. I didn't wanna do it but we probably will tomorrow.

I am looking forward to watching the game....
