D-League

Here is a little picture to maybe pick up your spirits for the Holidays. Put UK on the back burner and let's enjoy the season folks. My wife snapped this just a few minutes ago. This is her cat. When she is home this cat is almost always around her.

I love cats.................................in your house. 😁 (It is beautiful as far as cats go...)

I am glad to see some Christmas warmth though. My Darling and I just got back from church, then we hit, Walmart, Sam's, and Costco. Put the finishing touches on the things we need except for the baby back ribs we will wait to grab at Costco later this week... Ribs and roast "beast" for Christmas according to My Darling...

Have a great rest of your day(s)...

I know this is hardly a soccer-friendly zone, but I have to say that Argentina-France final was one of the craziest, and most intense sporting events I can remember. It had everything —and a satisfying ending, at least for me.
Watched entire game, including extra time, and loved it. Unforgettable championship. Fans got their money's worth.

Not un-friendly to soccer at all. It is just that I have never had legs to be able to run faster than at a trot. Hard to get into it when I was envious... ;)

Don't really like cats myself, but my wife and daughter have wanted one for years and about 2 1/2 years ago a kitten showed up on our doorstep and we kept him. Then my wife and daughter said he needed some company, so we got two more. 4 dogs and 3 cats unless you count my daughter who we call Cat short for Catarena which makes 4.
 
Who Dey indeed. Needed this one. Now just hold the line to keep Ravens in wild card status. What is really bad is that Tampa Bay is leading their division at 6-8.
Who Dey! Bengals have it all in their hands now to win the division and host a playoff game.

Nice recovery from dropping the opener on a missed PAT, starting 0-2 and 4-4…

WC, that tree would look great with a cordmaker Uncle Ken ornament on it!!!!
 
I hope all have a peaceful rest of your evening. Heading into the office this week. (Was going to take leave but forgot how empty it will be and I will be able to do all the training and annual certification things I need to do... at least 40 hours worth...) ;)
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 48°F and cloudy with increasing rain chances. We may have reached today's high.

Apparently El Paso suffers from a major refugee crisis. City is overwhelmed with new bodies.

Light shows all over town. Tis the season .

Another weekend in the books. Monday, Monday.....

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

Good Monday Morning

Buddy it is cold outside. 35° is cold down here. The sun will shine and the skies are clear and the high should reach 70°.

I trust all had a nice weekend and if you are in pain it is much better than it was. I guess we are counting down to Christmas. It will be here before you know it. I am ready.

Today is a workout day and final meal planning for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Our family tradition is oyster stew for Christmas Eve and I am going with the Prime Rib on Christmas Day. Now we will work out the trimmings. Life is Good and God is great. Take care all

The man on the radio is talking about buying ammo and firearms. His store has a nice supply for Christmas and a few boxes of shells should be good stocking stuffers.

He made a good suggestion, be prepared and build a bunker and load it up with ammo. Not a bad suggestion for a Monday morning.

And new housing starts are down 70%. So that is the local news for today. Something has to give.

Good morning everyone!

Slept til 7 this morning...shocking, but needed. Not much on tap and still haven't watched the first highlight or reviewed the box score of Sat's game. I think I'll just keep it that way.

I hope everyone has a great day. Not much planned here today.
 
Good morning D-League. Getting psyched for my Physical Therapy session at 9am. Want to earn that Gold Star for best leg lift and knee rolls.

Satisfying weekend in the NFL, for some of us. Bengals with a big comeback win. Ravens lose and look incapable of scoring. And for me, Commanders lose what may turn out to be a playoff elimination game with Giants in satisfying fashion -- two questionable calls on 1st and goal under a minute. I'll root like hell against them until their odious owner is forced to sell.

My son got back from Lexington last night. He was due in after I went to bed. My hup woke me up after midnight and went in to his bedroom to check and he was nowhere to be found. In my foggy state, I was starting to imagine a road mishap, and went downstairs to see if I could see his car. I caught him heading back down to the basement with an old high school girlfriend also home from college who wanted to say hello to him. Damn, to be young again.

Christmas barrelling down. Most of wht I have left to do is wrapping presents, which I absolutely hate. Hope the week is shaping up well for all of you.
 
Anybody seen anything on this? Some say "juiced" balls were used in Yankee games (Judge's hr record chase).

I was juiced last night, and I didn't hit any home runs so, it doesn't work. Least not for me anyways. ;)

Can't anyone just do what they say they are going to do? All a man has is his word but I guess that is now for sale, I hope not to most people. Geez, even baseball... Not just roids now it seems.
 
Coming Friday to an ATX near you.

Thursday nights forecast for us here is supposed to get down to 2°. Will start dropping Wednesday early afternoon and fall throughout the night. A friend just called me about 30 minutes ago asking if I could help him move out of his apartment Wednesday because his rent went from $685.00 earlier this year to $800.00 back in June and is now going up to $925.00 the first of the year. Thanks Joe. Anyways, I hope he starts early because the wind is also supposed come out of the north and be 25-35mph with higher gusts.
 
My phone is crapping out. Ye Ole LG Velvet... Nearly EXACTLY two years. Almost overnight the battery won't hold a charge for about five hours... Gyroscope is whacky using Google maps, ...yadda yadda yadda...

Just ordered My Darling an iPhone 14 plus....

I need an Android... Any decent recommendations? I have T Mobile the senior plan but I don't want to buy part of the company when I buy the phone...

My work phone is an iPhone.... Thanks for any input...

Those thousand dollar phones they can have, looking for cheap and good.... Yeah, good an cheap.,

Will work for a cheaper phone bill. I have a sign and everything...😁
 
Dang. Just checked the weather forecast through Christmas -- chance of snow Friday, and if we get a covering it just might stay around. Lows predicted at 12 F and highs at 22 F.

Been a while since a white Christmas, as far as i can remember. That'd be nice.

If I never see a snowflake again it will be too soon. I had a lady (fellow employee) in San Antonio when I was at Fort Sam get fighting angry when I wouldn't turn around to look at some snowflakes. (I saw it was bothering her so I fought the urge to turnaround.) (My desk faced the interior of the room.) The lady was ready to file a complaint against me (And we always got along splendidly but I guess I rubbed her mad spot.) She got angry like I never saw her act in nearly six years of working around her at the time. (I knew she must have been having some trouble at home but at that point I was really trying to help her once I realized it was something besides me.)

She got a couple other people involved as witnesses to what she called a confrontational attitude.

It got to the point I had to defuse it. I looked at her with about six or seven other people standing in my office. (It was confrontational after the initial contact.)

I said yeah Mary (Her name was Mary.) I can see it now at the hearing.

They will ask the charge; I stated; "It will be a charge of failing to look at a snowflake." (I winked at her as soon as I said it and she threw a paper at me and then hugged me laughing.)
