MORNING D-LEGIONNAIRES!

53° this morning with light winds. High today to be in the mid 70's. Those of you battling high winds batten down the hatches and stay safe. We had a good amount of wind yesterday. Had neighbors trash cans sitting in my front yard among other things. 3 of my 4 dogs stayed in the house mostly yesterday, but the monster spent about half of the day outside laying around with the wind in her face. She seemed to enjoy it.

Full day scheduled with a men's prayer/fellowship breakfast at a friends church in Lawton at 0800, cutting grass shortly thereafter, then try to watch UK/UM baseball game at 1:00pm (have an app that I think will help get it), follow that with the Reds/Pirates game (starts at 3:10pm so will already be in progress when the UK/UM game is finished). Dinner and a movie with the in laws after the Reds game. It's almost always Dinner and a Movie these days when the in laws come over, and that is almost every weekend. BIL gets a break from his mother as she generally commandeers one couch and the big TV in the living room early when she gets here while my wife and her brother stay in the kitchen/dining room and visit.

Well, going out to the shop first (in a few minutes) to work out, then on to the rest of the planned day. You folks enjoy your day and God Bless.

Good morning folks.
Windy and cool today. I’m getting a walk in, but looks like I might get caught in the rain.

I did something last night I’ve never done in my life —I watched almost a whole women’s basketball game. A buddy of mine who is an ex-college player from the 1970s kept telling me their games were closer to basketball as we remembered from high school.

I picked a good one to start with. That girl from Iowa beat undefeated South Carolina almost single-handedly. Very exciting game. And yes, in ways it did remind me of good high school games from decades ago —the mid-range game is part of it, an attention to fundamentals, not relying on above-the-rim athleticism. Caitlin Clark has a smooth shot-she was 14-14 from the line with many of them under incredible pressure.

We’ll see if the men’s games are as exciting today.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 53° and partly sunny here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring a mix of clouds and sun with gusty winds and high of 70°.

Stay safe out there today.

 

[vhcat70]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 54°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 83°F.

Happy April Fools Day. Let's get that outta the way.

And then 4 remained. Go Canes! Go Owls! Plan on tuning in later.

Dusty mess aka kitchen remodel continues. Bah!

We were kitchen-less for 6-8 weeks during our remodel around 6 years ago. Microwave/grill/eat out.

 

[vhcat70]

Hadn't watched a women's bb game in years before the IA-SC game last night. Clark is really good. But the thing that got me was how poor shooters SC were given they were undefeated. IA not guarding them beyond the FT line was amazing to watch. Totally begging SC to take 3-pointers & they wouldn't do it. SC's O was like pre-3pt line days. SC outrebounded IA 2-1, took 20 more shots, and still had only 2 more FG's. SC apparently just muscles teams to death. Nothing dirty, but not a fun look.

We were kitchen-less for 6-8 weeks during our remodel around 6 years ago. Microwave/grill/eat out.

We've been following a similar route. Grabbed enough Chick-Fil-A last night for today. Microwave still unavailable. Luckily I can boil water in an electric kettle. Keurig works. Plan on making coffee here in a few.

Good Morning all,

70° with sunny skies and no rain in sight. We will reach 87° this afternoon. A good day to be on the water.

I am looking forward to the games today. I have no interest other than I want UConn beat and maybe the California team from San Diego. So I guess I am rooting for the U and FAU. I still find it hard to believe a non basketball state like Florida has two teams in the Final Four. Never in my life would I have thought such a thing. It just doesn't seem possible or make any sense.

Before I sit down to the games I am going to spray my yard for noseeums and then make a big pot of homemade chili. I use the old Brookings recipe from Euclid Ave. In Lexington, KY

One of my favorite swimming holes. It is located at the Home of The U. So I post this in their honor of making a Final Four, something I thought impossible for all of my life.

Morning folks. It is sunny but windy as can be. We got 1.63" of rain yesterday. Of course I went to Sams club and loaded the vehicle in a down poor. Put one has to do what one has to do. I was not going to stand out side the door for 30 minutes waiting for the rain to lessen like a bunch were doing.

You all have a good day and hopefully the two Florida teams will win.

Jody's got your girl and gone.

And anger at seeing hands in ones pockets...

 

[warrior-cat]

Watching UK-Missouri and the wind is playing havoc on the outfield. Missou got a double on what would have been a routine fly out. UK got out of it though with a strike out and another pop up that carried away from the second baseman but the right fielder got there just in time to get it, so three down and now the bat cats with 2 on no outs.

 

[warrior-cat]

UK gets first three batters on with a double and 2 hit batsmen. Then, a routine pop up to the first baseman that the wind blows away from him and the second base could not handle either and UK scores 1. A double scores 2 more and an errand throw scores another. At the end of one UK 4 UM 0.

Edited: After 2, UK 7-Missou 0 Another hits batsman, a walk and some hits add 3 for the Wildcats.

 

[vhcat70]

^Equally unfair weather.

 

[cordmaker]

Jody's got your girl and gone.

Got out in 75, still eat fast, Mrs. M has ask me a few times, why do you eat so fast, I just say it's the MILITARY still in me, can't help it!

 

[warrior-cat]

My wife gets on to my daughter for eating fast but she (my daughter) always blames it on me. She tells her mother that she always says she is a lot like her father. Old habits.

 

[warrior-cat]

UK up 9-0 in the 8th.

At my grandsons birthday party. Super hero theme. Spidey showed up....

They are packing Proud Park as a result of such a great start.



Go Cats!

"Florida Atlantic lost its second game of the season at Mississippi before reeling off 20 straight wins.
During that streak, in December, a Caesars Sportsbook bettor in Illinois wagered a total of $400 ."

If FAU wins the national championship the bettor wins 800K. What are the odds. Well, I just posted the odds. FAU looking good right now.

 

[UK82]

Heartbreaking loss for FAU. Most likely the next game will decide the NC but you never know.

 

[BBUK]

The boy was in the zone today. Not many times he had all his friends around and his Mom and Dad.. I was thankful for him. His Ama and Papa sat back enjoying...

That's one of the BB's good friends. (I don't think his Dad will mind I posted this...)

There were super hero's all over the joint...

Got me so motivated, I stopped at Home Depot and brought back eight 16 x 16 patio blocks... Have to make two more trips of eight and some sand but I didn't eat my Wheaties today.

Diclofenac in order..


Have a blessed evening...

Got a question for the D, is there any way to stop text messages I get? I keep getting one from Netflix saying my account is being locked, don't even have Netflix. I always do delete and report but still get the shiff! Got one at 3:45 this morning!!! Thanks in advance

Just mute your notifications Sir is all I can say. I get texts from unknowns and all they say is... "Hello" or "How are you.".... It is criminal as they will try and try to trick, deceive, steal, cheat, or just create havoc..... Too many criminal types now.... No accountability...

 

[cordmaker]

Wow, it didn't take South Carolina's coach very long to start blaming people!! I am glad they lost!!!!

Same here. I'm always happy when a Dawn Staley-led team loses. Go Hawkeyes!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 62°F and mostly cloudy. Today's high should max-out around 82°F. Nice 4afternoon temperature expected.

And then there were two. Heart-breaker suffered by the Owls. Huskies simply outplayed the Canes.

Go Aztecs!

Go Hawkeyes! Plan on watching women's championship game today.

Kitchen remodel nightmare continues. Goal is at least enjoy a working microwave within the few days.

Wishing all a peaceful, enjoyable Sunday.

 

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone.

It's been a busy couple of days for a retired feller. Babysitting and a early Easter party for the youngin Friday and yesterday my wife and I shopped, ate out, and watched a movie. Then I returned to watch the games. I watched all the first, but couldn't stand to watch all the second.
Go San Diego State.

The movie "My Only Son" is pretty good. I was a little disappointed they didn't get into Abraham's later life a little, but still worth the ticket to get in.

Off for church setup in a bit. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning D-League. It's currently 40° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring mostly cloudy skies and a high of 58°.

Have a great Sunday.

This is for Android, but Apple is similar.

1. Go to your messages.
2. Tap on the one from Netflix
3. Tap the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner.
4. Tap on details and then select block.

Yeah I plan on watching the women's game as well just to see Caitlyn Clark. I had to watch Youtube videos just to see who she was. Very impressive.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Happy Sunday Morning. It is 49°F and sunny. We had a lot of wind yesterday and today it is still. We are supposed to get up to °F today.

Both teams that I was rooting for lost, so I just hope that UCon loses. (I left the second n off intentionally!)

 

[BBUK]

Hello all,

Had only one service today at our church. Felt the spirit like I never felt since we've been in Virginia since November 2016. I am thankful.

Made this Palm Sunday service..


Three families just left our new home where they prayed us into it.

No place to sit now but as soon as we are able the wife and I will have them back over and we can fellowship further...

Still moving things now...

I will check in later if the Lord doesn't take me home.... God Bless you all...

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good afternoon folks.

Beautiful day in the east.

Got my wife’s college roommate off to the airport for her return to Atlanta. Soaking up that very underrated sound —silence! The woman didn’t stop talking from the moment she walked in the house on Thursday until I dropped her off at the airport.

Didn’t get to see the games last night because of company. Sounds like the SD-FAU game was a classic.

May try to catch the women’s game a little later. Go Hawkeyes.

Hope you all have a good day.

John Calipari shares scoop on Oscar Tshiebwe's NBA Draft decision

Kentucky head coach John Calipari revealed the next step Oscar Tshiebwe plans to take in his basketball career.

www.on3.com

Oscar to enter draft per Cal. Interesting that this comes from Cal and not Oscar.

 

[warrior-cat]

Just finished watching UK sweep Missou with a 3-1 win today. UK run ruled them Friday night and Saturday but had to fight to win today. Bases loaded in the top of the ninth with 2 outs and got a pop up to the catcher to win. 25-3 for the season so far.

Now watching the Reds-Pirates bottom of the 5th 2 outs and Friedel hits a solo and Fraley follows with a double.

Edited: Inning ends on the third out with Reds up 3-1.

 

[UK82]

LSU with 59 points in the first half. Damn! They're clearly the better team. The officiating has been atrocious. Probably my last women's game unless UK makes a deep run one year.

 

[berniecarbo]

I am curious to see how much game time is shortened because of shorter pitch clock this year.
MLB has different time limits for the pitch clock depending on the situation. They are:

• 15 seconds with no runners on base.
• 20 seconds with runners on.
• 30 seconds between batters.

I know a couple of years back (not sure when) they cut down on the amount of time outside the batter's box (between pitches) for batters. Viewing replay for calls kind of took the time that saved back. Also wonder how much affect the non-shift rule will have on hits and scoring.

Just read that so far the average game time is down 25 minutes.
