My wife talked to our son this afternoon. He told her to bring a coat.
She often complains about the Florida sun and longs for the days back in Estill county and the cool mountain air. I laughed at her when she said it might be too cold for her in Kentucky. LOL It has been 65 degrees today with bright sun. I am in shorts and barefoot like always. And I don't have to chop wood or dig some coal for the Warm Morning stove grandpa had in the front room back on the hill.
There's only two of us, so we have a small house which makes it relatively easy to heat. We had a acre or so cleared last year in anticipation of an outbuilding. It left me a lot of good oak firewood. We heat with a wood stove. It is toasty warm right now and cutting the wood gives me good exercise and the heating bill is very cheap.My wife talked to our son this afternoon. He told her to bring a coat.

Your son is on the money Sawnee. It hadn’t been cold in Maryland so I just brought a light fleece —and it’s going down to the teens tonight —possibly single digits the smiling weatherman says. My son and I have plans to hike up into some woods in Bracken County in the morning my family used to own and I’ll freeze my ass off.My wife talked to our son this afternoon.

I'll be sitting in a tree stand early in the morning with predicted lows 15-21 not counting the wind. I sometimes question my own sanity.
Safe travels to and from (or fro) for all those on the road this Thanksgiving season.
You came by Jared Prickett's hometown then. It's some pretty country, but it seems like it takes forever to get through the WVA mountains.
Questioning your own sanity would be fighting the crowds on Black Friday.
We have 2 fireplaces, a wood burning and a gas. You probably burn much more wood than we do, only 2-3 ricks per year, but there's something about a roaring fire that makes the cold winter months much more tolerable. Cozy. Especially during the holidays.
The past few days walking the dog has not been pleasant. Sleet, freezing rain and sub freezing temps. Yeah, Florida sounds really good to me right now.My wife talked to our son this afternoon. He told her to bring a coat.

I remember making the drive across western MD and WV from DC to Lex...I always had to watch out for the snow
Plenty of chances, but didn't happen. Excellent game, not too many TO's. IU's #23 is a handful.
Good Saturday Morning
Game Day. The world is not giving the Cats much of a chance. If you are going to the game dress accordingly. We still have a chill in the air down here with 45° and a 7mph breeze off of the Gulf. Expect the high to reach 68° with no rain in the forecast.
Not much going on this morning. I have to take the truck down to the recycle place and unload a bunch of palm fronds I picked up when the storm came through. I had stacked them up out back so this would be a good day to do that.
I better go through my old clothes and try to find something warm to wear in Kentucky. I have a couple of sweaters and a wind breaker so maybe that will suffice. I don't own any coats, gloves or fur hats. Haven't for many yeas. Trust all are well and in good health and spirits.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 22° and sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high of 40°.
Have a great Saturday.

I do the same thing as my parents required me to show respect.
I am like BBUK; I can hand it back in spades.
I guess working in a very competitive environment and then public office for 10 years tends to make you very defensive and firm. I would have given her back every nasty word she gave me. She would have found out if bitch was also not acceptable.

Oh, I certainly did that Bert. There is more to this story.
Now if you get hit by ones of these things don't panic. Call Morgan & Morgan he will make it pay.
Good morning from Anneta, KY on Nolin Lake. Currently 19°F and clear. Today's high expected around 41°F.
Great visit with Bert, Sherry, his daughter and son -n-law and Leon yesterday. Awesome food. Fine folks. @Bert Higginbotha : Please let Leon know I stopped at Marathon station in Brownsville and filled up $25 worth in gas for $3.09/gal Very good deal. Thanks!
Plan on drinking some coffee and heading up to Louisville later this morning. Hope to return in time for game today. May miss first half. Perhaps grab some BBQ in Leitchfield.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

There’s still enough 13-year-old boy in me to find that typo funny every time.
Good morning folks. Woke up in my parents’ house for the first time since Covid —we have been staying in hotels during visits before now.
We moved into this house in 1966, and I swear in the basement there are still a couple things left over from the previous owner. Talk about a place that feels like home. Need to join the folks so I’ll keep it brief. Hope you all have a good day.
It is a cold 19.9°F here and sunny. We are supposed to top out at 42°.
Austin got here basically on time. We ate and talked and caught up on each other. My daughter and son in law and my cousin Leon showed up before Austin left. He has met them several time. Just basically had a good time last night.
I dread the game today.

Here is a Lexington girl singing about her older brother who was killed in a car wreck in Kentucky. No place like home

Woke up to a balmy 19 degrees (13 with the wind chill). Plenty of frost as well. People in the stands really need to bundle up today even though the temp will top out at 39.
Finally got my water bill and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. $210. That's the highest it's ever been but considering the daily watering of new grass during a drought it could have been worse.
Have a great day and here's hoping the Cats make a game out of it this afternoon.

Hope Levis doesn't get murdered today...this OL against Georgia...bad matchup.

Wow, that brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for posting Sawnee. Beautiful song.
Hello all,
No fridge today........... as the BB says..........ToMAAAAAAARRRRooooooow.......
Out and about this morning anyway, as we are having our Thanksgiving "gathering" (Meal today due to both my daughters schedules.) (Turkey ham, collards, rolls, smashed potato's (Sweet and russet.), gravy of some sort, mac and cheese, and a couple other items.
My oldest grandson had his tonsils out yesterday, it was a rough day all the way around, won't go into the particulars but my Grandson pulled through fine and was home last night.
Below is me and him when he was a "baby". He is seven now. I video'd with him before and after... Broke my heart I couldn't snuggle him yesterday but his dad was there...
Lucas was awake but I was out, that is why they snapped that picture..
Go CATS!!!! ALL the way around!

I saw her at the Grand Ole Opry about a year ago and it was her very first appearance. She literally brought down the house and no one wanted her to stop singing.
She came out on stage with no fear and started singing and everyone was mesmerized by what we heard. I had never heard of her before.
As she exited the stage the announcer said he had been around a long time and never saw a debut like that. No fear and she just took over the stage with her presence and voice.
Her family has 700 acres outside of Lexington. Here is a new one just in time for Christmas season. It has it all. Great singing and some very good pickin' if I may say so.

I got a text that my granddaughter is running a 12k in Denver, Co today and it is very cold. She is on the Marathon Team at the USAF Academy and they have a special event in Denver today of some sorts. Why they have it this time of year is a mystery to me.
I know I would be sitting this one out but I am a softie when it comes to frigid weather and running up down the Denver hills. Not this boy. I will turn it over to the youngsters.
A long time ago I ran 8 miles (or more) every day for a full year, just to see if I could do it. I was weird like that on physical things. Once you build a little body heat up, the cold doesn't bother you.
In today's world, you have to be able to give it back. People see anything less as a sign of weakness and they're ready to take advantage. I miss the days when most people had manners.
Good afternoon everyone.
Try to type fast so I can watch at least the first 10 minutes of the game before I call it over.
It's awesome to see everyone getting to visit family and friends. I'll go Thanksgiving Day (3.5 hr drive). There will most likely be about 50 there. I'm the oldest of 8 kids.
29 degrees this morning but dropped to 24 by the time I made it to the bottom of the mountain. Many times it's warmer higher up. It probably dropped another degree or two before I made it to my stand. I must be a tough son of a gun...I didn't even get cold. It helped that I got a 10 pointer within 10 minutes after daylight.
Blessed again. I hope everyone here can say the same.

I've got some hot cocoa for the game. Perfect day for it. If things get bad then I may have to add something stronger. If it really goes south then the hell with the cocoa.
Granddaughter sent a photo after her 12K run in Denver. She is on the far left in the photo of the USAF Academy Women's Marathon Team. It is cold buddy.
Lol. Here’s a heads up for those not watching the scoreboard: Vandy beat Florida. A new powerhouse arises in the SEC!!!

What on earth has happened to Levis? That was just pitch-and-catch with a Georgia DB.
We are not good in the Red Zone. I just throw up my hands.
We have been in scoring position twice so far and yet...
