Been a day, been a day... not bad, not okay. At least I am still on leave tomorrow....

(Still have two weeks of use or lose leave before the end of the year plus holidays...) 51 days until I have full retirement benefits. (Don't plan on retiring but who knows what's in store...)

Oh, I LIKE what I do... Just bummed out...(It will pass...)
 
Good Morning to the start of the week. Monday Monday

We have 55° at the present and should reach a high of 75° with cloudy skies and a 5% chance of rain.

I trust all are well and in good spirits. Still bummed about football but that is nothing new in the life of a UK football fan. Very frustrated with our offense. Something is amiss.

Have a nice day.

Morning Legionnaires!

29° this morning with light winds. High expected in the upper 30's with light rain or snow but no serious accumulation expected.

Having a new 75" Visio flat screen tv being delivered today from Sam's. Have a 60'' flat screen in the living room we have had for 10 years or more that my daughter loves to play video games on so, we will move that one to her room. We have the current one on a stand but, I was thinking about mounting the new one on the wall behind the stand.

Nothing more other than wishing all a good day and God Bless.
 
A bit late saying hello today. Incredibly busy morning so far.

Those are sure a couple attractive lady cousins of yours Sawnee. I'm glad they got to experience the red carpet treatment at the CMAs.

Trying to get a lot done in the net three and a half days so I can make a lightning strike to Kentucky on Friday, staying through the weekend. I'll go by Lexington and pick up my son then on to Campbell County -- the rural, southeastern part -- and see my parents and siblings. Looking forward to it as always.

I hope you all have a good day.
 
Good Afternoon everyone.

Another 4 hr sleep night and then 8 hours in the treestand. Saw plenty of action (fighting, chasing, etc) and 5 bucks within 15 yards. Biggest was an 8 pointer that I hope makes it through this year. If my wife or I don't get one in the next week or so those smaller ones better keep their distance from me.
 
And my other cousin on the Red Carpet. She too is a huge UK fan. Her father was my daddy's brother and the whole family bleeds blue. Kentucky blue. It is hard to believe Debbie is 63 years old and is already drawing social security. Time sure does fly.

Good looking women, of course.

I married a Kentucky woman.

Once they get their hooks in you; you are finished!
 
Glad to see DJ Wagner on board. I think this is Calipari's best class, and to have it all locked down by early November is extraordinary.

* Edwards is seriously Cal's best small forward recruit since Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
* Some recruiting services have Aaron Bradshaw ranked #1. That puts him in the conversation with some pretty remarkable Cal recruits like Davis, Noel and Towns.
* Wagner is ranked #1 by some other services. He and Dillingham may well be the highest ranked pair of guards Kentucky has recruited since Wall and Bledsoe.
* Reed Sheppard really impresses me. He strikes me as being in the mode of some lesser heralded Cal recruits who were underrated -- like SGA and Tyler Herro.
* And then there is UGO, recruited for next year, but who has already forced himself onto the floor for this year. The only concern with him is that he doesn't show so much promise the NBA poaches him before next year. I actually think he'll stick around. Guys like Oscar, Bacot and Timme show that the NBA is reluctant to pull the trigger on big men early.
 
This guy pulls out in front of me on my way home today, which led to me braking hard and hitting my horn. Well the guy starts throwing up his arms when he gets beside me, so I roll the window down and he wants to know why I blew the horn. I said you cut me off back there, and his comeback was "who wants to wait 15 minutes to pull out". I use to love driving, but anymore I despise it because of people like this.

We made a trip south of Nashville Saturday for my moms 95th birthday. Got to deal with the interstate traffic. Its full of folks who think they are NASCAR drivers weaving in and out of traffic.
 
$45 for 2-4 oz Maryland crab cakes? Guys in that part of the world help me out.

I'll stick with a $9.99 Whopper meal (For two). (I love seafood of many kinds and I don't mind people getting rich but, not all off me.) I said the same thing to customers when I was in the bug business. "I want to make money and I want to get rich but I don't want to do that just off you (Speaking to the customer.)."

I do without several things I like, not that I can't afford them but because the things I wanted are now, more than they are worth... to me...

COVID has me all confused. UK has 5 players listed as seniors. Oscar, Reeves, Wheeler, Toppin and C.J.. Do any of these players gain an extra year? If not then it'll be another really young team. Talented as hell but young.
From the way I understand it, they could all comeback. It would be nice to get at least a couple of them back.

CJ is playing his 3rd collegiate season this year. He never saw any official game time last season. CJ red-shirted 2018-19 at Iowa and played two seasons with Hawkeyes. He should be eligible for a COVID year.

Wheeler is playing his 4th season this year. He should be eligible for a 5th season.

Reeves is eligible for a COVID year, and so are Toppin and Oscar.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 39°F and mostly cloudy. Strong wind out of the north. Today's high expected around 54°F. Pup barked and scratched at door soon after letting her out. So it's chilly out.

Cats vs Spartans tonight at 6 CST in Indy. Collins should be back. Oscar still day-to-day. Go Cats!

Packing a little after work for trip back east. Ready for another journey.

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

I am simple when it comes to food (and many other things). Beans, potatoes, meat, eggs, and a few other things is all I need. I rarely eat lobster or crab when I go to Red Lobster (once a year, anniversary) I generally get the admiral's feast and take some of it home for later. My daughter gets the lobster or crab. My favorite fast food is KFC, but they too are getting expensive.

I've been simplifying my meals. Ate some homemade bread and drank some water last night for dinner. I'm going to try fasting for 3 days at a time soon. Hope I'm still married after that. (I.get.grumpy.)
 
Good morning everyone.

I'm taking the day off from hunting today. I don't want to sit in the rain all day.

It's all about value (well 90% anyway) for me when eating out. Being the oldest of 8 kids I have always watched my money. It allowed me to retire at 55. That and marrying the right woman the first time. I tell my younger friends that that is the most important financial decision you can make.

GAME DAY!! Don't forget Canada when discussing the seniors. He may be a walk on, but he's a 4th year senior at KY. That's a unicorn now days. Ware may be the first non KY scholarship player under Cal to make it 4 years.

Yeah, fasting does that to me too. Think about it for a moment though. There are many things in the world today that point to the existence of God because the bible speaks of these things. Fasting is just one of many, and now doctors, nutritionist, and others suggest that we need do it for overall health and resetting of the system. Go figure.

Morning Legionnaires!

Temp in the mid 20's right now with a high of 48° expected. Moderate winds and partial cloudiness will have it feeling like 30's all day. The monster who has a lot of fur stayed out almost all night. She comes back in early morning to be with us but then goes back out because she loves the colder weather.

You guys stay warm today and God Bless.

And yes, there is an Oh, and by the way: IT'S GAME DAY!

Good morning folks. Hope all is well.

Getting colder in the east. And gray.

So the basketball season starts in earnest tonight. I hope this is the beginning of one we remember, like 66, 75, 78, 92, 96, 98, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, a few others. We Kentucky fans have been blessed with good memories.

Concentrating on work today in hopes of getting out early Friday for a quick trip to the Bluegrass state. I’ll check in with you all later.
