Good morning folks. Have a blessed day!!
Good morning D-League.
Austin, I hope your recovery is going along well.
Lost a very close friend a couple days ago named Michael "Buck" Tharp. Just now feeling like I can talk about it. We'd met almost exactly 30 years ago in Mogadishu where he was working as a corespondent for a news magazine after spending more than a decade in Tokyo for the Wall Street Journal.
We hit it off as former small college basketball players, and after that traveled together to places like Sarajevo and Kosovo and Iraq. He was about ten years older than me, and had served in Vietnam before getting into the news business. He grew up in Kansas and was a Jayhawk fan, and for him I'm glad he got to experience that final championship in March. After living much of his life in Los Angeles, he reconnected with an ex-girlfriend from college in his 50s, took her as wife #4, and moved into a big place she'd gotten in a divorce in Dallas. He lived a colorful life, and is gone too soon. I'll miss him.
Hope you folks are having a good day.

Hungary had the largest number and percent of Jews who avoided the Holocaust as their leaders were late to the Hitler side & still resisted sending their Jews "on vacation". Beautiful synagogue & memorial garden. Men had to wear head coverings for the tour. They said my UK ball cap was fine.Good morning D-League. It's currently 47° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will see thunderstorms give way to a steady rain and a high of 55°.
Have a great day.

I wish ATX would hurry up and get better, I'm about to starve, don't know what to eat without him telling what the food for the day is!!!!!
Good Morning from rainy Smiths Grove. It is 55 and we already have had .50" of rain since I first got up and it is pouring right now.
In "general" I am busy. Been hard at it. (As hard as you can work but still sit in a chair.) I am up for a bit, have to walk about a thousand feet and sit again. Yeah rough life.
I WILL have to visit the treadmill this fine evening. Getting ready to do a meet and greet...
Have a great day!

Just checked out their website. Very interesting.
Sounds like a great place to take your daughter.
I personally have never been fitted in my life and I am stuck at the brick wall of a 10-15 handicap.
May check that place out myself.
We had a thunderstorm with heavy rain a little before 7. Guess when I got up.
Cord, have you seen anything like this? It made me think of you.
Good morning everyone. Edit...good afternoon...not use to being on here after lunch. I'm not babysitting too hard. lol
We're babysitting our great, great niece this morning. She turns 2 years old today. Not much else happening here. There was some storm damage in Mercer Co. (my old home county and family still there).
@Sawnee Cat We didn't watch the mermaid show when we were at Weeki Wachee a few years ago. Is it worth seeing? We just did the kayaking and then on to something else.
Have a great day everyone.

I had heard about one, but this is the first time I have seen it, thanks Bert!! My sister and her husband own a bicycle shop, Now I am going to have to call her and see what is the smallest rim that they have!!!!Cord, have you seen anything like this? It made me think of you.
It is a nice little break in the action. Most of our guests who come down want to go so I have an annual pass. I would recommend a person try it one time, if it is not for you the park has a lot of other attractions. You can even take a dip in the water which is the same temperature all year long, about 72 degrees.
YouTube has a lot of information and videos that tell the story and I would recommend you take a look at them before deciding to go. One thing for sure these gals are pros. Most come from around the Brooksville area and are expert swimmers.

Sir,
I've seen good workmanship in my life from several sources but Cord's craftmanship with stained glass is extraordinary. I am thankful...
Them's fighting words... Just completely criminal with what so few have done to so many. Pure Communism...
No faces that are distinguishable, so I will post this...
I've never been fitted either but I do know people that have and they highly recommend it. I stopped playing about 20 years ago, not because I didn't enjoy the game but I just couldn't find the time anymore. I started playing at a young age too. 12 handicap in 2002.
I didn't eat supper today due to attending a chili judging contest during the lunch hour and beyond. (Had my fill) BUT,
My Darling made these: (I am about to eat them now...) (Two of them anyway.)
What are they? Mashed potato's combined with sweet rice flour, and stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese... (Just had my first bite. Never had these before...) Edible...

Been on phone all day. Also discussing my condition with doctors. I will update you fine gentlemen at a later time.
Thanks all
Thanks all
Thank you BBUK, my best friend who got me into stained glass were in a glass shop in Owensboro one day and the so called owner told us we weren't pro's we were hobbiest she was a pro, made my friend so mad he left everything he was going to buy laying on the counter and walked out. I ordered some glass from a place in Florida a couple weeks ago and we were talking and I told her that I don't do a whole lot of stained glass ( boy that has changed) and that I was called just a hobbiest, she stopped me right there and said, have you ever sold any of your work, I told her yes, she ask have you ever made anyone cry when you presented your work to someone, again I said yes, she said, listen to me, you are a professional artist!!! What she told me that day and you guys here in the D has really changed my outlook on what I do!!!!
ATX, you are on our GOD KNOWS LIST, I don't know your name, but GOD does!!!
I'll stick with craftsman brother Sir. A laborer of love. (I can tell.) Part of what I enjoy is taking people out of their zone. Would have enjoyed being around someone who'd call you anything but a professional. They'd have a bad day. If they were able to change the way they act toward others, they would... (Some cannot change...)
God Bless you....

You are at the top of my prayer list Austin. 🙏 God bless you and your family
Bert, my sister that owns the bike shop, I sent her a picture of this, she's already ask, how much if I supply the wheel!!!!Cord, have you seen anything like this? It made me think of you.
My favorite night of the week. Thursday pasta night. Reggiano cheese has gone through the roof in price.
Good morning D-League! May God bless you and your family this day and may you have a great weekend as you gather to spend time in His word.
Good morning folks.
Sounds like Austin is progressing. That’s great news.
I’m off to a morning physical therapy session soon. My wife says she can see improvement in my gait so I’ll keep it up and hope for the best.
Sad news about Lisa Marie Presley. I suspect her son’s death wore down her will to go on.
Hope you all have a good day and a better weekend.

Good Friday Morning
60° at the moment and this may be our high for today. The temperature at 3:00 this afternoon will be 57°. Last night I was awaken by a very hard thunderstorm that lit up the sky. Lightning was heavy for about one hour and the rain came down in buckets. It will bring a cold snap for the next couple of days.
I said a special prayer for Austin before I went to bed last night and also this morning. I trust he continues to improve and is back 100%. He is a valued member of the D league.
I have a full plate today and I best get on it. The chorizo (Spanish sausage) and eggs are ready.

Possible discharge next week. There is more but I will discuss at a later date.
Y'all keep on keeping on.

Great news Austin, keeping the faith down here. The Lord be with you.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will check them out.
Only 4 days until my daughter and son in law move from Memphis to Madison Alabama and it can't get here quick enough. She sent me a text last night and said there have been several murders and the victim then burned in the Memphis area recently. They think it's a serial killer apparently.
