Nursing a Yuengling Black and Tan for desert... First one in at least three weeks... just as a change of pace.

I am thankful...
Sir, there for a second I thought it was gizzards! :)
 
It is a cool 47.5°F here and we are on our way to a whopping 51°. Yesterday it was foggy and rainy most of the day but not a productive rain as we only got .11 inches. Not quite as productive as Kentucky's basketball offense!

It was nice to see Alabama beat number 1 Houston and it was also nice to see Arizona down Indiana. We still don't know who the good teams are yet as higher ranked teams are still gettting upset as often as not. I am glad that lowly Memphis beat Auburn, I simply don't like Bruce Pearl.

You all have a good Sunday.
 
Good morning everyone.

Busy yesterday bear hunting. I didn't spot any bear but did see a couple of deer. Church set up, church, and then some hunting this evening for today.

What happened to the Cats? I listened to the first 10 min on the radio and everything seemed to be going good. By the time I began watching, it was dribble around til 10 seconds left. ??? Oscar is great and all but when we go exclusively to him everyone else goes to sleep.

That is an awesome house Sawnee. Too fancy for my taste, but my wife would fall in love. But, ............ lol. I would like to downsize what we have now. I wish we didn't add on back in our younger days when we wanted more stuff, more room, more, more, more.

Everyone have a great and blessed Sunday.

Good Morning Bert,

Anytime Bruce Pearl loses I am happy. I see he received a lifetime contract like Cal so he should be in the SEC for a spell.

I was impressed by the comeback of Alabama. Houston had a nice lead and Bama came roaring back and had 4 freshment on the floor at times, 3 freshmen are key on their team and solid players. They looked seasoned already. Bama has beaten 2 number one teams this year. UNC and Houston. Neither game was at Alabama. They are going to be hard to handle if we have to go down there.

The hardest thing my wife and I have faced in our last years is downsizing. I have been able to do it to a degree but my wife, no. She is too sentimental. About the only way she will part from is something to give to the church or a charity. She likes to give.

I explained to her that when we are gone somebody will come in and junk everything, have an estate sale and give it away or end up throwing it away. I see it all the time. None of my kids want any material things from us because they have their own homes and plenty of stuff now.

This is something my grandparents did not have to worry about. They didn't have much to give away or downsize. About their only possessions was precious land.

Morning Legionnaires!

43° this morning with around 50° expected for a high with light winds.

A UK win, a UL loss, and an Army win over Navy is a good trifecta for me but, a Bengals win with a Ravens loss would put icing and a cherry on top of the cake.

You folks relax and enjoy your Sunday and God Bless.
 
Good morning folks. Taking it easy this morning after spending Saturday working and getting some of my Christmas shopping done.

My wife and daughter are away on a visit so I have the house to myself.

Glad for a Cats win. Not where the team needs to be but moving in the right direction. A season is hard to predict. This weekend last year the Cats lost to Notre Dame - one on the worst losses of the season. Then over the next month, beginning with the UNC-Cheats game, the team played the best basketball any team played all season. We’ll see.

Hope it’s a good day for all.
 

For you baseball fans. I always liked Maris, though he got a lot of bad press. I learned a few things I didn't know till I read this article.

It is all how it ends up. The journey has been tainted.

I always liked him too. He was a nice person and talented.

After baseball he had a nice beer distributorship (Bud) in Gainesville, FL and did quite well.

When with the Cardinals, he and a bunch of other players used to come to far western Ky where the Ohio and Miss rivers meet to hunt during the off season. I hadn't realized the hand and knee injuries was what sapped much of his power late in his career.

When I moved from Jacksonville to Smiths Grove in 2000 we downsized. Our house was so crammed with furniture that we could not move around in it.

We gave a bunch of stuff to the kids and still were cramped.

So dumb Bert and Sherry immediately added on until we are back to the same size. We still have too much stuff. We should have had an estate sale and lived with it.
 
Roger Maris ended up with a remarkable career and a lasting place in baseball history without, one could argue, elite talent by MLB standards. In other words, he was blessed. And he seemed worthy of it.

Think of his career -traded to the Yankees in time to be part of five World Series teams. Then, as the Yankees are fading, he gets traded to the Cardinals and ends his career with two WS appearances and retires as a National Champion.

And he is in just the right place at the right time for his historic achievement -61 home runs, a high percentage in a right field corner which would not have been HRs in any other park.

Hey, we should all have careers that play out like that.

What area did you live in? Sister lived on Mandarin Rd in Jacksonville. Always took me to The Fish Camp when I came in, I think on Jullington Creek.

The 49ers got up 35-0 on the Tampa Bay...FoxNFL moved the game early in the 3rd quarter in my area to another game with a close score.

Do they ever do this in college basketball? I hate when UK has a game and we are waiting on another game to end and one team is up 23 points with 5 minutes to go and they won't switch over.
 
Yes, we have. I knew Bobby and Mike. My ex also attended Powell Valley HS.


Holy Shit - Im glad you brought this back up
So you're Bobbys age i think & did you go to PVHS?

I was the only one that went to Middlesboro HS
Only Kentucky fan besides Dad too [laughing]

Good morning D-League. It's a cool 48° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. The afternoon forecast will not be much warmer, as the high will only reach 50° along with partly cloudy skies.

Hard to believe it's exactly 2 weeks until Christmas.

Have a great day.

No, MHS. I called you a few years ago for a meetup at Angelo's, but message went to voicemail.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 58°F and foggy. Today's high expected around 72°F. Cold front moving in.

Another nearby homicide, according to the news. Good old North Austin.

Early voting for mayoral runoff wrapped up. I still have not cast a ballot. SOBs disenfranchised me by moving the polls. Figures.

Another weekend in the books. Monday, Monday.

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