Morning D-Legionnaires!
Weather did not get as bad as predicted last night and it rolled through fast. Winds are still blowing with gust up to 40mph but supposed to calm down later on this morning. 73° on tap for a high today and 77° for tomorrow. Will give it until tomorrow afternoon and go fishing again.
Not much going on today other than going to go through some of my fishing gear to set up area specific lure bags for lake fishing vs pond fishing. I Will be doing more lake fishing than normal from now on given the mercury levels in the fish of the ponds I frequent. Lake bank fishing will be heavy on spinners and crank baits, while ponds will be plastic worms/bugs, and top water. Ponds around here are heavy with grass, and I run weedless plastics mostly. Lakes have less obstruction (other than rocks and stickups) to grab hooks so I can run other lures with hanging hooks.
Well, for those of you going to work be safe out there (especially bus/subway/train travelers) and the rest of you, get off your butts and do something! No really, relax and enjoy your day and to all God Bless.
Good Monday Morning
66° with a few clouds and light fog on the lake that will burn off soon. The high should reach 77°. I have a clear schedule this week and that feels good. I will work out 3 days this week and get caught up on my yard work. I also need to pressure wash some walkways and drive. Always something to do around the house. It never ends but I like it like that. I doubt I could live in a condo or apartment.
I trust all are well and in good spirits. Basketball regular season is winding down and baseball is getting most of the news down here. Not much coverage on basketball. Thank the Lord for Cats Illustrated and the D League.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 48° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring thunderstorms and a high of 67°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
To be picky, I've been told practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect
Good morning D-League.
Cloudy and cool in the east. Already back to the grind, working from home on Mondays as usual.
My son is coming home in a few weeks for his last spring break before graduating from UK.
I decided it'd be a nice treat to take him to a Washington Wizards game, and by luck they are playing Sacramento on the Saturday of his break. He and I had just been talking about the great games Fox and Monk had for the Kings - a combined 87 points on Friday!
So, I got us some decent seats, a little behind the basket but on the first level and unobstructed -- over $100 EACH. I guess I'm just a complaining old man, but I remember when my dad working construction could take three sons to see Oscar Robertson in the old Cincinnati Gardens for about $15 - total.
Ah well, he'll enjoy it and I hope it's the kind of thing he looks back on the way I look back on going to games with my dad. We'll go into town early, hit a Smithsonian Museum he has always enjoyed then go to a steak house downtown and make a night of it.

A very windy 63.0°F here and we are to get to 73° with a 50% chance of rain. Warm weather in late winter is a dangerous thing in South Central Kentucky.
Good to see that you did not get hit @warrior-cat .
@starchief5 good to see you post.

The gym where I work out has dropped Direct TV. But no problem we can still find programming on the four TV's.A FaceBook funny:
Good afternoon D, been married 25 years today. When I ask GOD to send me someone who would my kids as much as me, HE sure answered my prayer!!! Only thing is I think she loves them more!!!!!
I received a text from my granddaughter at the USAF Academy that this weeks starts the "40 Day Countdown to Recognition" This is a big deal for first year Cadets because once they go through this (and survive) they are granted the same privileges on campus as the upper classes Cadets.
No more walking on certain areas of the sidewalk, they can eat normally in the mess hall. Etc. But to get "recognition" you must go through a week of hell on earth. Here is a video of what to expect. During the period the Academy locks down and no visitors are allowed.

Congrats Cord, she must be special!
Re walking on certain areas of the sidewalk: I spent about 3 months at DaNang (Rocket City). There were wooden sidewalks in front and behind the hooches that led to the latrines. It was a rainy season, so if you stepped off the sidewalks, you stepped in the mud. Since we were security, we kept an M-16 with us at all times. There was trouble between blacks and whites and the blacks would set on the back sidewalk with rifles and force whites off in the mud or to go to the front sidewalk (the long way if you were near the back of the hooch).
I had inadvertently done something that caused some of the blacks to think I had disrespected them. I was also the highest ranking non career guy in security on base. One day coming back from chow, a few whites came up to me and asked me to lead a "revolution" which was basically a civil war. I had no idea what to do or say, but I guess the brass were watching. Early the next morning I was on a chopper heading to Tan My LORAN station as their new asst NCOIC of security. I have no idea what happened with the situation at DaNang, but I was happy I didn't have to deal with it.
You GOT to be named................Willie...
The no marching mugs, scatter marching, or route stepping. I was a marching Mug... (I liked it...)
Wow Sir,
I never had any issues in Detroit growing up though, when I was in I think the fourth or fifth grade, (Busing was becoming a big thing, even though we didn't need busing. We were well blended.) A small stump of a black kid punched me square in the nose, turned and ran away through the crowd. (We were all crowded in and he took a cheap shot I guess he was taught young.) Anyway it got me angry more than hurt me though he caught me with a real good shot it didn't bring blood.
I looked for that kid for I know a year or two as I planned to pay him back. Never did see that peckerwood again... (I'm not one to hold a grudge but if I ran into that person today, I'd think about paying him back.)
I had an issue in the Army one time but it isn't worth mentioning because it got settled quick. Amazes me to this day how people can be coerced into prejudice attitudes.... It seems at times easily.
For some reason the Good Lord has had mercy on this poor dumb country boy a number of times. Maybe He figures somebody as dumb as this guy needs a little extra help.
He looks like Snoop Dogg:
25 years together, God is good and answers prayers. You have a beautiful marriage.
@AustinTXCat 23rd for me and my wife on the 16 of June.
She is Bert!!!!Congrats Cord, she must be special!
SC, if I wasn't such an A$$ the first few years it would have been much better!!!!
Yes Sir,
God has had a hand many times in protecting me when I should have came to harm. I am thankful and try to live being thankful as I know who holds my hand.
That is hard to believe. Some thing must have got a hold of you.

Northern Kentucky's Liam McFadden-Ackman accomplishes rarest baseball feat in single inning
Northern Kentucky dropped a 14-run first inning on Western Michigan during their baseball game on Sunday afternoon, and Liam McFadden-Ackman's rare feat is a main reason why.

I wasn't thinking of him at the time but he sure could be from the same bloodline(s), sired that is...
Think yours was much better IF that is an option.... Not sure the word better fits anywhere here... 😅
It was the debul
Norse's field is named for my cousin's deceased husband, Bill Aker. He started their baseball program in 1971 shortly after the school was founded and coached them until 2000. For several years it was a part-time gig and he worked nights as a printer for the Cincy Enquirer paper. No college degree. That would never happen today.For the baseball fans here on the D.

I can't say enough about him. Just a wonderful person. Might be the only person who loved baseball more than my Dad though I don't know how that is possible. They'd talk BB hours on end - MLB, Reds' players, local players, strategy, rules (Dad was a semi-pro ump.), you name it.
DW and I took a Mediterranean cruise with my cousin, Bill, and her family the year before he passed away in 2011. Bill spent many summers teaching baseball to European players at the request of the US government. He traveled all over Europe with that effort. No matter where we stopped, he'd been there. Again, great guy. I still miss him and think of him often.
OT: When we were in Korea my wife's niece came to visit with her husband and two children.. Man these two youngsters were top notch. Just pleasant to be around. Had a great time with them. They wouldn't even speak to me until I spoke to them. (Kind of a customs type thing as far as respecting their elders BUT, once I started showing an interest they became the two most loving young people. (I love young people in general.) We got along splendidly.. (I just shuffled through and saw this picture and wanted to share it. They are as nice as they look, even nicer. Just had a great couple days with them. (All Mom and Dad wanted was a free place to crash while they came to see the sights.) We had four bedrooms so no biggie... (That's my family in the background picture.) Just me and My Darling were in Korea though both my daughters did visit once each...
Have a restful evening... God's peace to you all...
