Got back from the VA, the MRI was with contrast, no biggie but I wasn't expecting that. A big miss on my part. Unusual.... We shall see...

Just got back from checking my PO box. They screw up a lot. This time they got the box # right, but wrong person, wrong city, wrong state and I had to wait in line for 15 minutes to tell someone about it.

A crying shame with the talent on this team. No, they aren't world beaters and there is no AD or MKG but this team can play IF, they play to their capabilities....(Who will take this team to their full capabilities...)
Man this is off topic for sure. I am not even sure if this series is still on or is re-runs but I sure like the Blue Bloods clips I have been receiving for several months now. Just a good show...
I had a fantastic workout this morning with solid vitals and good cardiac excercise.
I am heded down to the Drivers License place tomorrow and finally get "Veteran" stamped on my license. I have been putting it off for years but now it is time. It is free and all you need is your DD-214. All establishments around here honor it if they give discounts to veterans. With inflation skyrocketing any saving is nice so I say go for it.

Sir,
So are you Black or White????? BWAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAHHAHAAA.....
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Had to get a Michael Jackson gif in somehow.... 😅
Yeah, he is a little too happy with it. There are better videos but, I could not find them.
You all are a tough audience some days but, that's okay. Nothing but love for you.... 😅 😁
A Christmas party recommendation. Best of the best when it comes to peanuts.

You all have a restful evening. God Bless you...
As a native Louisvillian that detests the local team, I have no problem. Screw UL.
Good Morning
A very busy day ahead and it looks like a nice one to do it. 62° at present and the high should reach 79° with a full day of sunshine. 2% chance of rain.
We are enjoying the Christmas lights around the area. I trust all are well and your days Merry and Bright.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F and cloudy. Today's high may max out around 74°F.
Alarm clock (repurposed smartphone) failed this morning. Running late. Something else on my list for troubleshooting.
Worked late on another call with Microsoft yesterday. Meh, only an hour.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Good morning everyone.
We put in about 10 miles on our hike to Mount Rogers, the highest elevation in Virginia (5700+ feet). I'm a little sore in the hips since we walked a little faster than our normal pace keeping up with the hike leader. He's walked the entire Appalachian Trail. My wife and I were the only ones that made it all the way with the leader. It's a group sponsored by our Ext. Office.
The little bear gif sticking out its tongue reminds me of one of our favorite days. My wife and I got to help check a bear den in the winter and I have a pic of her holding a cub about that size and the cub stuck out its tongue like that.
I hope everyone has a great day and prayers for those sick and with upcoming surgeries.

Morning Legionnaires!
50° this morning with a high in the low 50's expected.
Light day today. Normal work out and dog walking first (after wife leaves for work) and then, find a holiday movie or two to watch.
You folks out and about. be careful. For those staying home like me, rest easy. To all God Bless.
Good morning folks. One of those days so far. Overslept. Forgot to take the garbage cans to the curb last night and missed it this morning. Missed a train and got stuck on a platform in the freezing rain. Then a text message from my wife saying “oil light on in car.”
Hope things are going better for all of you.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 50° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring rain showers and a high of 58°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
I know what it is like to get that call from your wife. Mine called sometime back about the Service Engine light being on. I told her to take off the gas cap and screw it back on. She said she was dropping it off at the service department instead.
When she got there she told the service manager what I said, I suppose to get a laugh from him. He told her "let's try it". They did and the light went off. Funny how these things work.
Well things can only go up!
Yeah, that's my wife to a T. Oil light on? Either drive it without worrying about it or take it in for a $4,000 engine overhaul that may or may not solve the problem.
I've learned this car. It has a hair-trigger oil light that goes on about every eight months - especially if you get behind with routine oil changes, which is my fault as the man but in my defense I never drive this vehicle so I lose track. What it needs is about half a pint of oil until you can get it to Jiffy Lube for a change. Then the light goes off for up to a year.
Why is it burning a little oil every several months? I don't know but it doesn't seem worth thousands of dollars to find out.
My dad was a great shade tree mechanic, but since cars are not baseballs, I didn't learn anything about cars. Jan knows more than I do.
When I first retired from the military, I worked at the first place that would hire me and that was Montgomery Wards in Lawton OK. I first worked preparing the store for opening and then later the automotive shop fixing flats, putting on new tires, oil changes and just easy stuff most guys can do. I am no mechanic either but now when my old karate instructor/friend has problems he calls me. Just the other day he had a flat late night outside of Planet Fitness in Lawton and called me the next morning to come change the tire, so I did. He has never changed a tire or anything. One time around spring this year, I jumped his car and showed him how to do it and gave him some cables. Not long after, he called me from OKC while visiting his now ex- girlfriend and her car's battery was dead. He asked if I could come to OKC and jump it. I live about an hour from the city limits, and she lives further in. I reminded him about the cables, and he said he still did not know how to do it so, I talked her through it over the phone.
Turning back the clock to Spring Training 1951, Vero Beach, FL. Here I am out on the training field with the Brooklyn Dodgers. We could mix and mingle with the players and carry our autograph book around without the player charging to sign your page.
These were some of the Brooklyn Dodgers greatest teams and players of all time, the early 1950 teams. Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider and the list goes on.
Kids had fun back them. We would get out of school and ride our bike over to Dodger Town. Get our gloves and back up the outfielders. If the ball went over their head or they knocked one in the weeds we could run it down and keep it. I had my uncles Navy locker full of baseballs. LOL I am wearing one of his sailor hats which was another thing most kids had back then.
EDIT: And oh, it was all free. Nobody charged a penny and you could just walk through the gate. There was a small charge for actual exhibition games (The Grapefruit League it was called) but just training, 0. An exhibition game was probably 25 cents for a kid and maybe 50 cents for an adult. Sometimes they would just let kids walk in without a charge. It depended on the man at the gate. If you didn't have any money.

That's very cool, Sawnee. I didn't get to see any spring training games until the late 1970s, but it was still fun then. And in the mid-1960s, old parks like Crosley Field in Cincinnati were small enough and built in a way that the players were fairly accessible. I still have a scorecard from 1968 signed by Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez, among a few others in those pre-Big Red Machine days.Turning back the clock to Spring Training 1951, Vero Beach, FL.

Sawnee Cat is awesome.
We didn't think back then that the autographs and other memorabilia would have any value. I remember taking a clothespin and pinning a 1952 Mickey Mantle baseball card to the spokes of my bicycle. To give it that engine sound. It was my favorite card so I wanted that one in my spokes. it was my favorite because The Mick was replacing the Great Joe DiMaggio.
This is what a 1952 Mantle card looked like. One sold for $2.88 million bucks. And I had one in my spokes
Nothing as good as Sawnee, but as a kid, I got to see Stan Musial at Sportsman Park in St Louis. Stan hit one off the screen in right field for a double. Owner Angie Busch was losing to much money to batting practice home runs, so he put Up a large screen that ran from the right field line to deep right center. you had to hit it over the screen and on the pavilion roof to get a homer. It cost Stan a lot of homers over his career.
Locker rooms were behind the lower stands and separate little buildings from the park. Players had to walk under the stands thru the fans to get to the dugouts. Only thing close to similar today is Wrigley. Maybe Fenway. Attended 2nd last game at Crosley.
50 RBI in one month in AAA. Unreal.We didn't think back then that the autographs and other memorabilia would have any value.

Did you ever flip cards? We used to play touch - no double touch allowed - or match and the ultimate, match touch. A 20 match touch game could cost you a 100 cards.

What is the MS migration tool called? I led that a few years ago and need to again. I forgot the tool name. (I have it in my archived docs but thought I'd ask.)

ShareGate. We use it daily.
Talking about autographs earlier: Anyone recall Bob Petitt? He was an NBA star in the 50's. He and Cliff Hagan played for the St Louis Hawks. They had territorial draft picks back then and west KY was part of their territory. The Hawks came to Murray for an exhibition game. Bob had a bad shooting game, so he stayed on the court for close to an hour shooting. Lots of kids stayed watching him and waiting on an autograph. Bob must have stayed another 30 minutes till every kid got an autograph.
