D-League

Am feeling whipped today. Put in a FULL days work of ye ole manual labor. ;) Wearing my fitbit again which lends to me holding myself accountable. (I am again tracking all I eat and drink.) (Eating too much but I already knew that. Now I have it in writing which lends to me holding myself better accountable.) Ate 2280 calories today which is less than I have been eating. (Had a yuengling just now and had to add that. The other days were just food.) (Yesterday and the day before 2295 and 2130) The difference today was I burned 3200 calories with 12k+ steps...(The stairs helped out.)

I hurt but it is a good hurt... Looking forward to getting back to under 205. I want to hit 199 one time and then I will be content with around 205.

Yep, I am thankful to have my fitbit again. I am not in the habit of lying but now I would be lying to myself in writing... ;) Back to work tomorrow as well. You all have a peaceful, rest of your evening(s)...

Pfffftttt! 205...................................................................... #metoo.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 61° and partly, cloudy heading to 75°F, We hit 83°F, a record yesterday.

I guess celebratory gunfire got outta control NYE. Some little kid nearly hit. Assholes.

Spate of local food truck thefts lately. Those things are expensive.

Y'all behave.

Morning Legionnaires!

Prayers for Damar Hamlin. Was watching the game when it happened. Probably need to just call it a draw and leave it be.

Not too much going on outside of morning workout today except loading up a trailer of old stuff (no longer functional or broken) and going to the local dump to get rid of it. Weather will comply, mid 60's, sunny and light wind.

Those of you working out there stay safe and to all God Bless.

Oh, and yeah, IT'S GAME DAY!

Good morning D-League. It's currently 59° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring occasional showers and a high of 70°. What's difference a week makes in the temperatures.

Have a great day.

Nice image, 41102. Everyone should visit the Louvre at least once, even if you find the Frogs a pain in the ass. Went there on a lovely September day in 1990. I was with the woman who became, and still is, my wife, and whom I am still wildly attracted to. But I will say this just among us -- there were more beautiful women floating around the Louvre that day than I can remember seeing, to use an strong example, walking around Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills on a summer day in the mid-1990s. And that is saying something.

In short, I don't remember the works of art on the walls, I remember the works of art walking the halls.

Warrior - That was my initial thought -- call it a tie and cancel. But the more I think about it the more impossible that seems -- as do all possible solutions.

If they call the game a draw, it immediately eliminates the Ravens as Division Champs -- basically giving the title to the Bengals for canceling a game. (as it stands now, the Ravens can win division by beating Cincy if the Bills do too.) And it POTENTIALLY could determine the 1 seed in the AFC - a huge edge you play all season to win.

But what if you decide to play the game? The regular season is over in five days. No way the Bengals and Bills can play TWO games that fast - if they did and someone else got seriously hurt the league would face its worst crisis ever. And you can't push back the playoffs easily, or have playoff teams playing games in that gap -- that's why the bye is so critical.

It'll be interesting to see what the league comes up with.
 
Good rainy day from Smiths Grove. It is 61°F here now and we are supposed to get to 65° in the afternoon. So far we have .41" of rain. We are under a tornado watch until 11am CST.

I don't follow the NFL, but the heart problem to Damar Hamlin is shocking. I did not specifically know anything about the kid but the interviews on the news indicate that he is one fine young man. May God bless him and hopefully he can get back to football.

I don't know what to expect of out Cats tonight, I am just scared!

I took the Director to Europe for our 35th anniversary............I had been in England for months and she flew over and met up with me. She thought we was staying at my daughter's place.......we did but we also spent ten days in Paris.........I tried to get tickets to the Louvre and was told that they were sold out for months............we got up one morning and got on a bus just to ride the circuit and look around......when I saw the Lourve coming up we decided to get off and look around........we walked into this big pavilion and was wandering around............. There were two women standing in line..............there was a ticket office right there so I went over inquired about tickets as the two women in line said they had bought their tickets........bought two tickets........went over and got in the line.....(3rd & 4th persons). We spent the day there..........for the first 45 minutes we were pretty much in front of the crowds........saw a lot of great art including Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.........If we get the chance we would like to go back and spend several days looking through the Paris museums.........I know zero about art but I do enjoy looking at it......

I'm good with eliminating the Ravens as division champs.:)

Now if they are going to play the game it would have to be by at least tomorrow or middle of next week to give teams at least a little time to recover. But next week would screw up preparations for the playoff schedule. A real dilemma here with playoff implications.

Yeah, but the NFL will never do that. And if someone like KC gets screwed on the No. 1 seed because the Bills got a free tie? The whining would never end.

The NFL is apparently considering adding a 19th week and pushing back the start of the playoffs.

I guess you could do that and keep the Super Bowl on the same date - just eat that unnecessary extra week between Conference Finals and SB...

Yeah, I was joking anyways. I knew they would have to come up with a comparable solution. Pushing back the start of the playoffs will still screw up a lot of plans for fans.

Like the idea of eating up that extra week but, I wonder if that was really the intent of the extra week. A buffer for unforeseen problems. More structured towards weather (given time of year) than injuries of course.

Thanks for the kudos.

I was taught to fish (sit) then to read and given books to read. More important, I had to learn when to shut up. Then TVs came along and I peeped through the ventilation perforations on the rear panel to see the little people and it was glowing tubes of orange wires. I was confused, saved a few years later. By that time I was a fledgling biologist. Later I realized economy/ecology were the same word just different toolset. The GIS/GPS stuff came 30 years later. It was mapping using new tools with long eyes. I tried real hard not to choose. Still struggle with the cost of neglect of my own choosing. A friend explained my ears grew too slow.​

Sir,

If you chase around "paderjizz" in flight, youse a bird brain extraordinare....

Me, I'm just simple-minded....
 
Don't get me wrong, I'll take the win but the box score is disturbing. Wheeler, Oscar, Wallace and Toppin accounted for 65 of the 74 points. Livingston had 5 points and 1 rebound in 29 minutes. The only 2 that played off the bench were Collins (9 minutes) and Reeves (14 minutes) for a combined 4 points and 1 rebound. This team is not that deep. Thiero and Ugonna are young projects, Ware is Ware. CJ and Reeves seem to be regressing and Collins is a no-show. I think the talent is there but it just hasn't developed yet.
