My little brother moved to Lakeland in 2017. He also serves as a junior exec for Publix. Now he owns 3 housesLakeland is in Polk County and is growing leaps and bounds. The Lake Wales area is really nice and there are some great fresh water lakes around with large mouth bass.
Have you explored Citrus County? That is a very active place and has Crystal River, Homosassa and is scenic and nice.
Lakeland is the home of Sheriff Grady Judd. Don't mess around in Polk County. lol
Personally speaking, I love Lakeland area. First house my little brother purchased was a 1925 remodel. Old Lakeland is just so rustic. Many old-timers told me during my visits Lakeland reminds them of old Orlando before Disney invaded.
City is aptly named. Numerous lakes all over that town. Home prices may be a bit cheaper. Little brother go married and moved to Plant City
Atx ever been to the Daily Press Restaurant, featured on Food channel this morning?

Morning folks. It is an icy 31.3°F. At 6am it was 32.5°. The ice has formed on our back deck and we have ice cycles on the awnings. There was no ice at 6 o'clock.
Hope the Cats can pull it out tonight.

I second the Lakeland area for a place to live and work. Before the "boom" Lakeland had many cattle ranches, orange groves and of course lake after lake after lake. 550 lakes that occupy over 135 square miles.
There is world class bass fishing in the entire county. Lake Kissimmee has produced several records.
Largemouth capital of the world
Bert, we had it all, rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow!!!
Well doesn't look like we got the ICEPOCALYPSE in Lexington last night.
Another 9pm game tonight? UGH
Warming up next week?

We have a wide format printer, so we can print our own designs on shades (though it's to time consuming to do many). When Trump was president, through a third party we did a small order for a Trump hotel in Miami. Jan did a MAGA shade with a patriotic theme and stuck it in with the regular shades. We didn't expect to hear from it ourselves, since it was a third party deal, but were disappointed he didn't hear from it either.
We also gave our local police two MAGA shades when Mitch McConnell was in town to speak to them. They were supposed to tell Mitch that one was for him and the other for Trump. They probably got trashed.
I'm sure all of you have been waiting for this news to come out but looks like March 2nd is the big day that Morgan Wallen releases his new album with 36, yes count them 36 songs. Now that you know dress warm if you rush out to get in line to buy your copy today. 🤣
Sir,
There seems to be scanning apps for phones. May be worth a look. I know my daughter uses one to scan larger items. Just amazing what the phone apps can do.
Hello all,
Had a hard chore today... Had to make some personnel decisions. I am not sad about it except that the failure falls on me. They made the decisions for themselves but it was my failure too though I wasn't their hiring official. I gave them a good long chance trying to bring them around to alignment to the mission. I never mind ingenuity or outside the box thinking but when we have a defined mission outcome upfront. There is no place for stubbornness which in theory many times is the unwillingness to work. Just the way it is... Not a happy day for me...

I had no idea. I will check into it. thanks a bunch
Talking Civil war, interesting (to me) segment on Antiques Roadshow from Santa Fe concerning a Turner Society target rifle that was used by a member of a German Union Regiment, the well-known 9th OH. Also had a long knife similar to a Bowie. The rifle and knife were identified as made in Cincy & the rifle was converted from target shooting to real shooting. Valued at around $5K.
Turners were and to a degree still are a German athletic association that included shooting early on. Brought here in 1840's & 50's by waves of German immigrants - including most of my ancestors. They were strongly pro-Union and raised regiments that operated in the German language in the Union Army. Gr-gr-grandpa Brandt was in 28th OH, also Cincy & German. As I've said, he was shot thru the head in VA. There is still to this day a Turner club in Covington with a gym. Attended rat races the night before the Derby there a couple of times.

Wallace out tonight. This team just can't seem to completely get over the injury bug.
Must Win game . I can't imagine losing to Ole Miss
Well.... What can you say. Hopefully Wheeler is OK. They'll win this game but it's still the worst team in the league. They've already lost to the worst team in the league, USC. Come on Cats!
Tied at the half. This is Ole Miss. A sorry team. I am afraid UK is not very good.
But good enough to beat Ole Miss.

No clue on offense. Streetball .
Ole Miss is also missing their 2 leading scorers.
Gppd morning from ATX. Currently 31°F with heavy freezing rain. Significant icing occurring, Reports of 30,000 without power in Austin due to ice and fallen trees. What a mess.
Glad about last night's win. Cats took care of business. Reeves = team MVP, possibly for the season. He went 6-7 from beyond the arc last night.
Happy Hump Day.
Wishing y'all a safe, productive day.

Good morning D-League!
A morning so warm it would make @Sawnee Cat jealous! 62° and a light breeze from off of the river...

No wait, 26° stiff wind, sleet/snow mix on the ground, and a long, lovely day ahead! Cats won last night, but it doesn't feel like it. RR is fixing to fall into an abyss with the next setback. Who will step in to stop it? Lol
Hope it's a good day for all of you, and I'm hoping to catch up all over the DL this evening. May God continue to bless the D-LEAGUE!

Thanks, @AustinTXCat
I've got family down there right now that I'll need to check in on. Haven't been following the news at all.
Looked at the stats post game last night and saw that we shot 50% from 3 and thought "awesome!" Then I noticed ONE guy got us there or it was otherwise a horrendous shooting night. A little shocked, but not TOO shocked
Good morning D-League. It's currently 27° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 35°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
Good Morning D League
A win is a win. 60° with foggy skies. The sun will take care of that in the next hour or so. The high will be 80°. It is February already. The year is already going too fast. The first thing you know it will be NCAA Tournament time. Are the Cats ready or will they be?
Prayers for all in the ice. Nothing is worse than ice and freezing temperatures. It has been a long time since I was around an ice storm but when I lived in the Georgia mountains they were common. Always bad, especially in those hills.
Nothing much happening here other than I am headed to the gym. Today I work on the shoulder, do some curls and cardiac. The left shoulder is improving and pain decreasing.
Take care all. And WAKE UP if you need to.

Morning D-Legionnaires!
22° this morning with moderate winds and a high in the low 30's expected. Late afternoon expecting freezing rain that is supposed to continue through the night. That was supposed to happen Monday night but...we will see.
Decent game last night and as someone said, "A win is a win" and I will take it. Did fall asleep during the last 6 minutes of the game because I knew we were going to hold on because my prediction in Old Red's prediction thread was UK-75/Ole Miss 67.
Put me on top (for now) in the SEC games predictions leader board.
Good morning everyone.
We didn't get too much snow here and driveway is still mostly clear. It's still right at 32. Sometimes it's colder at higher elevations but sometimes it's warmer.
Great game by Reeves. Oscar, Toppin, Livingston played to their expectations. Wheeler did good offensively for the most part, not so much defensively. CJ disappeared. We had a few needed minutes from some subs.
Wildlife Wednesday....where's Waldo?

I am going to give this a try. Looks good. I will add a bunch of jalapeno peppers. Real hot ones. They are good for your stomach.
Good morning folks.
Woke up with about an inch of snow on the ground tha had not been forecast. Pretty.
Glad the Cats got a win. At this point of the season, all you can do is grind ahead, hope to keep getting better, and then surprise people in the tournament from the position of a badly seeded team.
Hope it is a good day for all of you.

Roads where worse in Lexington this morning but they had school. SMH
Grinded out that tough win last night against mighty 9-13 Mississippi.
Zero faith this team wins the SEC tourney, let alone a natty.
Don't see them gelling into something that changes my mind.
No football this weekend. What do I do?

When you find out, tag a fellow football fan (me) to let them in on it, please
9 games left. Halfway through the SEC schedule (6-3). I just checked out the remaining games and it's somewhat favorable for the Cats. I still see some losses probably to UT at home and road losses to Florida and Arkansas. I feel semi-confident about the other 6 games. That should be enough to secure a low NCAA seed. I will agree with Matt Jones. Seeding won't be as important this year given the parity of college basketball. No real clear cut favorites.
