D-League

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.

Looks like Mt. Rainer. Or maybe Pike's Peak?
 
The only thing that would make the Pro Bowl flag football game a must see is if their wives or a model of their choice played for them in really flattering uniforms.
lol that would be very watchable.

In the bear pic on this page there are 3 of them. I think you were the one who looked for a bear that wasn't there on another post. See if you can find the 3rd.
 
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
CJ simply can't get it together. I can't believe he has been this ineffective all year.

CJ and I had identical stat lines last night, except I didn't have a turnover and miss two shots and he didn't watch the game from an adjustable bed.

He's let the mental part of the game overwhelm him. He's like that Cowboys kicker who missed five straight extra points right now.

Sad, because the CATS cannot be an effective team without two perimeter shooters nailing shots. It takes the pressure off Oscar., opens up driving lanes for Wallace and gives Toppin some room to maneuver.
 
My little brother moved to Lakeland in 2017. He also serves as a junior exec for Publix. Now he owns 3 houses

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

Not sure if it is now but Lakeland used to be the home of the Detroit Tigers spring training...
 
Morning folks.

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?

Watch a soccer match... (I won't but somebody should...)
 
Take a Gander at Storm's stash...

Now look a little closer... Storm was angry and was deciding whether or not he was going to tackle that Bear sniffing his homebrew... (Heck, it may have been the Bears homebrew but doesn't matter...)

I thought you might like hot peppers. Some of the hotest foods I have consumed has been Asian food. When a Chinese restaurant says hot on the menu, believe it. It will clear your sinuses. And that is good.

I love the heat.

Sir,

My Darling uses many of the various peppers but the amount she uses augments the flavors versus an over bearing amount.

When she cooks she never makes things so hot the heat takes away from the food. She started that when we married and also realized that in moderation they were great but she had stomach issues and I am more of the black pepper variety of hot. (Like many others though but at about that spiciness. Yes I am thankful..

I think this evenings supper is going to consist of a bagel or muffin toasted and an egg or two for a couple of egg sandwiches. (Hopefully just one but I am actually hungry for the first time in days.. ;))

When we hit the Asian restaurants (There are bunches around here.) I stay away from their brand of spicy. ;)

I can't remember what was in the bottle, but they do love pop and they do love chewing on bottles or anything for that matter.
 
How's it go... That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 😁

(Oh, had another bottle before that one huh? Can't remember...a first sign...)

(I'd of tackled that Bear too...) 😅
Yep. I can say I've never fought a bear but I have chased one (probably the one in the above pic) around the house in shorts, no shirt or shoes and only a broom in my hand. lol True story.

In that above pic the white pipe (PVC) is actually a feeder. I had to quit feeding near the house because of that pesky little bear there. I miss seeing all the deer/turkeys etc. close by.

Edit: I understand your sense of humor very well as I do the same thing at times. That's why I don't usually humor you with a response. :D

When I was a kid many many years ago, we went to the Smokies. There was a roadside store with a bear in a cage. Part of the attraction was buy the bear a soda and watch him drink it. Lots of soda bottles in and around the cage.

I think my ex-wife chased one with a broom too, only she was flying on hers.
 
Jerk... (But a nice jerk...) 😁
Being the new guy here I've been on my bestest behavior. You may soon find a time when you want to erase the last 4 words above.

For anyone who wants to go back and find the last bear...follow the right tree up on the right side to the top of the picture. That's my treestand with a burlap cover. At the very top you can see my shooting rail (horizontal bar) and above it you can see part of the cub. He's in my stand and no doubt chewing up a cushion or causing other problems.
 
I can guarantee my MIL is more of a witch than your ex's mom. :) I'll take that bet from anybody.

She must have bought the broom from my ex's mother.
Hey guys, twice-divorce, three times married man here. I must be the luckiest, former THREE-TIME son in-law on Earth.

First late mother in-law: Ruth, born in Leipzig, Germany late 1930s. She survived bombings of the city. She was a short, sweet loving and caring lady who thought well of me. Never a negative word. Our entire relationship conducted in German language. Had 6 children. Even after ex and I broke up in spring 1988, Ruth and late former FIL welcomed my late mother into their home for food and warmer feelings of their own apologetic regrets over the split. Passed away 2018 or 19.

Second late mother in-law: Reva, born in Middlesboro, KY. Authentic hillbilly. Gold Star Mother. Lived mainly in KY-TN border area except for brief stints near Medina, OH with late FIL and kids. Bore 9 children. One child KIA in Vietnam. Another son died young in a 1980s auto crash. She thought the world of me. Seemed she loved me even more after break-up with her daughter. Passed away 2021.

Third late mother in-law: Shirley. A true Texan. From Austin. Treated me like own son. Never a bad word or jesture. Passed away 2017 hours after Hurricane Harvey winds stopped blowing.

Life's been good to me so far!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 33°F and with experiencing rain/sleet/snow mix. We've been at or below freezing for the last 66 hours. Today's high should reach 39°F. Downpour stopping soon. I've gotta get walking before I lose my doggone mind. Taking off around 7 am CST.

Got hit three times yesterday by power surges. Knocked me off-line while working with users. Bah!

Aside from weather, all is good here. Starting work here in a few.

Happy Groundhog Day. Give us a good forecast, Punxsutawney Phil.

Wishing all you ladies and gents an awesome day.

Good morning all,

Have a day that will cause you to smile.

On MIL's...

My mother in law and I got along splendidly. She is gone now about 32 or 33 years. She came to visit us once for about a month from Korea. We spoke through interpretation. If you know anything about the Korean or Asian culture you'd know the enormous protection and emphasis on the number one son in the family. (My son, he was about five or six at the time but disrespected me (Slightly by American standards to where It wasn't even admonished.). My MIL had a hold of him in a few seconds and was ready to deliver reprimand.

We intervened but to this day I KNOW my MIL revered me and to me that has been enough to carry forward no matter what. (Not that I didn't have a good relationship with my parents, I did but I never had THAT type of incident.) Seeing my MIL in action over me for something perceived small has given me extra motivations to perform for my family and for her, so her actions were "worth it". I am thankful...

Good morning folks. 7:36 am and I’m already running to catch up -or not fall further behind. Is this what they mean by the Rat Race? Ah well. As soon as Demento Joe turns the economy around I can retire comfortably, so that shouldn’t be too long, right?

Cool and clear today in the east. Glad to have January behind us. February is no better except shorter.

Hope it’s shaping up to be a good day for all of you.

My grandmother made the best heavenly hash. No one else could ever get me to eat a desert with the things she put in it. Just the right touch of every ingredient.

Was dessert at our house growing up. Haven’t had that in awhile.

My MIL from my first marriage was great, it is just her daughter (my ex) who was not. She was caught cheating with the fiancée of a woman who let me know and that is why we got a divorce. However, that was not the only one she was seeing. I was a DI then. After the divorce she wanted to get re-married, and I said: NO! Probably the way I said it pissed her off and things went south from there. She married one of her flings (which did not last) but continued to harass me by finding out who I was dating at the time, get in contact, and then tell them what a bad a guy I was. 3 occasions when I called these ladies about when we were going to go out again, they simply said it would not be a good idea. Then I would ask why, and they would say they talked to my ex and found out what kind of guy I was. That told me all I needed to know about them and I would not pursue them again.

It worked out in the end as I have been married to my second wife now going on 23 years (June). My ex tried to talk to her a couple of times and she refused to talk to her. One time was at my son's wedding while my wife was holding our 6-month-old daughter. She came up to my wife and said: "I need to talk to you about him". My wife said: "Go away" which pissed her off. Whew! My secret is safe. :p
