D-League

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

I am working ambidextrous this day. I will be here until about 11, go in to the office for about two hours, then come home....geez...

Good morning D-League. Cool and foggy today in the east.

Really feels like winter today. Quail hunting weather. My dad raised and trained English Sitters which are beautiful dogs and good bird dogs but built more for the flat fields of eastern Virginia and the Carolinas than the dense thickets and hillsides of Bracken County where we hunted.

But we did pretty well. With practice I got to be a decent wing shot, if not as good as my father.

The quail in that part of the country pretty much died out with the deep freezing winters of 1977-78. I don’t know if they ever came back but my hunting days with my father all but ended.

Many years later, 2002, I was traveling as a journalist covering George W. Bush in Spain. And this fine dining restaurant we went to while Bush was in his meetings served quail. I found a piece of No. 8 birdshot in mine — and it brought back memories of when we’d have a plate of quail after a winter hunt.

Good morning everyone.

The link (if it works) is a short vid (30 sec) about the rescue of my 3rd cousin off the Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Lauren Bruner, when the survivor pics are shown he is on the far left. The vid is about Joe George, the man who threw a line to the Arizona despite orders otherwise. My cousin and a couple other survivors met with Donald Trump and finally got George awarded for his actions decades later.

My wife has a friend up today to binge watch a show they like. It's pouring the rain so I fear I will be stuck at home on the opposite side of the house. I may be online a lot today. lol

Hope everyone has a great day.

I worked in Bracken Co. some and it was a 4 hr 20 min drive to just arrive at one of the meeting spots. Do you remember Pat Taylor or Herb Rumford? I'll try to recall more names but it gets more difficult as the years go by.

Hey Storm. My parents both grew up in Bracken County and they knew everyone in Brooksville and Augusta and Powersville, which wasn’t really a town, just a road people lived along. By the time I was a kid we lived in the rural part of Campbell County so I didn’t know anyone in Bracken but my cousins and extended family.

Did they call these "fakes".... were they the first "fakes"...Hmmm...

A little longer (6 min) news story from 2017 about the rescue if anyone is interested. My cousin is in the blue shirt without the hat. He would be about 97 at the time. BTW, there were 7 survivors that crossed the rope, but one died soon after, maybe the next day.

Good morning, D, we started the book of Luke on the 1st, read 7 this morning.
I never thought I would get this busy making things for people, thank you SC, I told you I couldn't keep my grubby little paws off of it, I got all the glass cut out yesterday, now on to grinding the glass and getting it put together, the pieces are small, but I think I can do it!! SC when I opened my eyes at 4:30 this morning my first thought was I know what I can do to the middle of the star, we'll see! I also made 7 crosses for a lady, then she told me she wanted 10 more, then my sister asks me to make her 4 candy canes, told them I would, but they have to get in line!!!
I want to thank the D, for your prayers for my son and his family, it seems like they have taken a giant step forward! They still need your prayers!!! I think seeing them doing better has taken a huge load off of my shoulders!!!
I hope the D has a great day and prayers for the D!!!!

Bert, watch your mailbox tomorrow or Friday or for the next three weeks (LOL) may be something in there for you!!!!

[Girthang]

Speaking of "or next three weeks" ... I just received an order I placed with Amazon on August 3rd. Showed up the 5th of December. Got a notification from Amazon that "the return window" closed "September 22nd"

At one time I was told it was delivered in August, and that I couldn't get a refund because it was delivered, even though no one signed for it and the counter help hasn't seen it. Driver couldn't verify it. Never scanned in anywhere so... I thought I just lost the money on the order and filed a complaint

Now the supplies I ordered last week and were scheduled to arrive Friday, because we have "Prime" will not be arriving until only God knows when. Was told they were delayed until... Monday night by 10pm... then Tuesday... now may be January 14th...

Thanks my friend. The postal service never fails to surprise.

I haven't been able to work on it again, we had a death in the family and some things to do in the next couple days, but I promise to get on it as soon as I can. I am not going to rush to get it done, haste makes waste!!!!!!

Yes!

Man Kermit can do better! Geez WC, get with the program... As my Dad used to say...that lady is "pure" ugly...


I always liked the muppets too....Miss Piggy could take care of business.... She ought to chop that thing for sure...

Thanks again Bert. This Angel we are making is very special to us or can be for any family or friend, it is made from some of our MOTHERS china, we lay out a pattern the cut it with a diamond bladed band saw. I made one for each one of my brother and sisters. I am now making one for each of our MOTHERS grandchildren. I just hope GOD gives me the steady hands and time to finish these!

Yes, do not rush. There is no deadline and I do not need it for Christmas, etc. It will stand alone as a lifetime gift and that is special enough. No timeline needed.

So, I see Will Levis has opted out of playing in the Kentucky Bowl game with Iowa.

I guess this is our new reality but it makes any Bowl game a joke except the championship series, in which kids typically play. A decision like that is bound to change every player's commitment to the game and willingness to lay it on the line.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

For me it's easy, pancakes.

 

[BBUK]

I will show you EXACTLY where this came from....

 

[BBUK]

ShareGate. We use it daily.

Thanks, they use Metalogix as well. I forgot about that one but have used it. I have used the ShareGate mostly.

As much as I love gravy, I do without it. The others...any time I get an opportunity!

That is angering. No one has to do anything anymore. It is criminal what this country has become and yes I include athletes. Just my take but I wonder does Levis consider playing for the girl's football team if they had one?

(Apologies in advance Sir's and D-League.) This is nothing to do with politics and everything to do with Americana....

I have mixed feelings about this and yours is one of my opinions.

Pancakes. lol

Oops, another Pearl Harbor show starting. Enjoy your evening everone.

We have been running site migrations from on-premise to in the cloud for over 3 years now. ShareGate rules. Used it during other migrations 7 years ago. I've not used Metalogix, but co-worker has.

I did that for the 50 states and Puerto Rico in my last venture. (I think 2018, I took it on because we had several state it was beneath them. (They didn't work "directly" with customers. I laughed out loud at them.) Talked to so many people...worked so many late nights. VPN's are not your friend in those instances... (Kept me using some skills so it was okay.) Got tons of overtime too...

UK will be starting their 2nd string QB and Iowa their 3rd string. So they'll probably be as much scoring in the UK-Iowa game as they are in a soccer game.

Tue enough. Iowa couldn't score with their 1st string quarterback, but managed to cause most games to be played in the single digits or teens through their plodding style. Now, without Levis, the game has about as much appeal as a dental appointment. But no doubt I'll still watch and get excited if Kentucky wins.

I plan on watching as well. It'll give us an opportunity to extend the bowl streak and watch some of the backups play.
