D-League

[BBUK]

Good morning everyone.

Woke up again before 4 AM. I go through spells so it may be a while before a good nights sleep again. We watched our 2 year old great, great niece all day yesterday. She's pretty smart and very spoiled.

A pic from my hike the other day. When I moved down here from central KY at 22 I had never been to SE KY and didn't know what it looked like. This pic is from the top of Pine Mtn (2nd tallest in the state) looking down at my home area. If you see the wide spot at the gravel road follow that ridge below it a little ways, on the left side of that ridge facing the stand of pine trees I'm right there typing on the D-League thread. You can't see the house...we're tucked up into a little holler.

Thar's Bars in dem dar hills...

Good morning all,

As John stated when asked in "McClintock"...."Day off?". G.W.- "Off day"....


I cannot tell you how many things are going on today and tomorrow but this has to stop soon... The dependence, needs to taper off and it is going to.... One way or the other...

In any event, have a great day...

I love the mountains.

It is a cooler 48°F and sunny this morning. It was unseasonably warm yesterday and the wind was bad.

@AustinTXCat good to hear that you are tough as a pine knot. The best of luck to you as you fight this thing.

@Sawnee Cat I am a country boy. I love small bergs and the country. In Florida in 1976, the year I first moved to Florida, there was country and little towns all over the place. It was a totally different area than the one I moved from in 2000. We would drive to Gainesville to the Kentucky games and much of the way it was forest. The population growth of Florida has totally changed the state in the time I was there. Florida in the 70's was roughly twice the population of Kentucky and by 2000 it had gone from around 7 million to 16 million. Now it is up to over 22 million. So those small bergs are getting harder and harder to find.

PS
I have no faith in the Cats tomorrow. Cal needs to get his head out of his butt.

To your PS, I fear that is a permanent attachment that will require major surgery to remove.

I bought the two President Trump books. I am starting "The Art of the Deal" first.

I haven't read a book in a real long time other than the Bible or training books... We shall see...

Oh, I do have my taxes to do as well...😥 (Complex to the max this time around...)

 

[MdWIldcat55]

The Pentagon just announced they shot down an "unknown object" described as being "about the size of a car..."

Uh Oh.

 

[cordmaker]

One of my favorite spots to hang around is Aripeka, FL (pop.323) It is the 843rd largest city in Florida and the 21,594th largest city in the United States. It was a favorite fishing spot for Babe Ruth, he had a fishing cabin there. To say it is off the beaten path is an understatement. My kind of city. LOL

SC, I have a sister and brother in law staying in Clearwater for a month

I made a great deal for the fruit. 😁

A statement used in my daughters on line Quantitative analysis class/course.

What the Hell!

Bill Buckley is my political hero, bar none.

"Bill Buckley did not resuscitate American conservatism. He did not rejigger it. He created it." That is no exaggeration.

The Enduring Legacy of William F. Buckley Jr. | National Review

Bill Buckley did not resuscitate American conservatism. He did not rejigger it. He created it.

Two things,

I retain a copy of an article he wrote for a ski magazine about being in Zermatt and meeting a number of interesting people. He loved to ski. I loved to ski, but not Zermatt. I still do love it but my dang knee doesn't allow it anymore - so far at least. We'll see. I'll hope if nothing else.

My former boss attended Dartmouth and Buckley delivered a speech there. Afterwards, my boss and other student friends talked with Buckley and he invited them to his home in Stamford, CT. So they went - well of course, who wouldn't? He entertained them playing his harpsicord! who do you know that plays a harpsicord much less has one?

Depends if the name is in English. If in Greek, for instance, it begins with G using the Latin alphabet: "Giánnis". Giannis Antetokounmpo for example.

Ha, I sat through a quantum computing seminar on a Teams meeting about a week ago and the guy conducting the class couldn't stop chewing his gum long enough to talk. After about ten minutes of gum chewing obnoxiousness, I coughed out a loud drawn-out bullschmidt type cough on an open mic. I think he swallowed his gum but I got his attention.

The class was at least reasonable from that point. The agenda with quantum computing is not on topic yet in forums I have sat-in on, it is mostly sales meetings. No time for that crap, either put out something substantive or go home...

Adding my two cents on quantum computing is harnessing the non-end-points of the targeted information to be able to use it in ensuring mass accuracy along with using non-targeted information. (Yeah it sounds stupid, hence the need for better articulation in a learning environment.)

I can get into a little AI and Robotics.

Good morning all,

Yeah I'm up at 5 on a Saturday...don't ask but it's stupid.😡

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 37°F and clear with a light wind out of the northwest. We should warm to 58°F. Morning walk might be little chilly.

Third day of chemo complete. My monster, steroid-induced appetite remains intact. Radiation treatment begins next Wednesday. Real test comes then. Stay tuned.

Got together with former engineering colleagues at Buffalo Wild Wings last night. Lots of fun celebrating and discussing old times. I really needed it. May hit up Oktoberfest in Germany with them.

Modern problems: This past Thursday, trash man picked up our trash and lost our can in his truck his truck. SOB! Wife called city. City services are supposed to bring us a new can today, but I'm not waiting around. Plan on emptying full bag in one of many dumpsters down the street later this morning.

Game Day. Plan on tuning in after return from errands later this morning. Go CATS!

Wishing all y'all a happy, enjoyable super awesome day!

You got this with your experience in the 59th Ord.

Did not know she had a national day. You sly dog.

 

[warrior-cat]

Oh and yeah:

IT'S GAME DAY!

Watch it....

I nearly resemble that remark. I sneeze while on the scale, I've seen my weight decrease 75 pounds. (For several seconds)

We expect good weather over the month. Baseball Spring training starts soon so if they like baseball maybe they would want like to take in a game. Or practice . The Philadelphia Phillies have been in Clearwater for 77 years.

Spectrum Stadium is right off U.S. 19. Easy to get to.

 

[BBUK]

Sterling or Egyptian?

Huh?

I don't walk like one...

Good morning,

I feel like Jethro, up with the chickens. Took my daughter to Dulles for her flight to SA.

Taking a few days with her friends.......on a cruise.

The BB is with My Darling.

I'm getting ready to start reading "Think Like a Champion..."

Haven't read but 20 pages of "The Art of the Deal..." but that book is in my office next to My Darlings room. I don't want to wake them but they will be rousing around shortly anyway ....

I need a pan of biscuits....

Good morning folks. Out in the woods, checking things out. I just walked into a small flock —six or eight —brightly colored bluebirds. Maybe it’ll be an omen for the Big Blue. Damn. I hope so.

Should be a nice weekend. My wife and I have reservations for a pre-Valentine dinner at a restaurant in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington. It’s a place Bill Clinton favored and he was no amateur when it came to eats. My wife and I first went there as a couple back when we first started going out in the late 1980s and it’s been a favorite through the years.

I hope you all have a good weekend planned.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Saturday Day Morning

Game Day, I am glad the game is early because I have a few things to do later this afternoon. This is a big game for the Cats as they can not afford a loss at Georgia. I feel it is a must win and they can't slip up.

Temperature is 66° and the high should reach 81°. We have a system coming off of the Gulf that may bring a few thunderstorms this afternoon. There is a small craft advisory.

Nice catch, the Old Timers could reel them in. A day's catch? No limit in those days.

Trust all are well

Cool,

I haven't been to many functions in a lot of years but I've been invited along with My Darling to a 50th Military Dinner/Dance at some fancy joint in DC near the end of April...we shall see...

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good Saturday morning D-League. It's currently 27° here in Eastern Kentucky. Partly cloudy skies this morning will become overcast during the afternoon. A high of 49° is expected.

Have a great day.

Biscuits in the oven. I can't bake a pan without thinking of my Aunt Mildred and how effortlessly she sculpted the most beautiful and tasty biscuits imaginable every day.

I use a baking cutter (I guess that's what they call the device you chop in your butter and crisco shortening.) My Aunt did everything by hand with at most a fork as I remember.

I can make a pan of biscuits well but my Aunt did it in half the time and with less mess.

I and My Darling are satisfied with what I produce. My Darling rarely eats bread but she enjoys my biscuits... I am thankful.

I sure love laughing. It doeth good like a medicine. It IS a medicine. That is strictly biblical... Jerry Clower used that line in his shows...

This is more my style for eating and presidents. Ronald Regean ate here. The original (and the only one I've tried) is in Sikeston. A lot of ball players from St Louis go down to Sikeston try it. The home of the throwed roll.

Sir,

My four years of military service was served under President Reagan. I am thankful.
