Good morning D-League. Up early today. It’s a lovely, cool morning in the east.

Feel like we’ll get some basketball Cats news today. We’ll see.

Lots of work to get through so I can head for Kentucky for the nephew’s wedding. Should be a great day. I can’t remember the last time all three of my kids, my parents, my two grandkids and all my siblings will be together. Probably Thanksgiving three years ago -the last time my mother was up to hosting -though my grandson Charlie wasn’t born yet back then.

Have a good day folks.
 
Good Wednesday Morning

Currently, 65° with clear skies. The high will be 84° with 0% chance of rain until evening, when the odds will be 16%.

I trust all are well and in good spirits. My grandkids may be altogether at the end of May, so we will plan a trip up to meet with and visit. My wife and I like to decorate family graves during Memorial Day, so we will squeeze that in too.

The grandkids have a busy schedule this summer, so this may be the only time we can all get together. My grandson is taking his MCAT on Friday, and he will continue working in research at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. He will be visiting medical schools in between. The granddaughters will have a very busy summer. After the Memorial Day weekend, one will have "survival training" in the wilds of some Western state. The AF Academy simulates a plane crash, and you are on your own for 8 days. You are trained to survive. They are given 4 MRE's and must find other food on their own. After this she starts glider training which is the first step to flying. Another granddaughter swims competitively, so she is tied up all summer too.

These kids grow up fast, folks, so enjoy the ride. Turn around and they are gone and on their own. And that is a good thing.

Take care all

Have a great hump day 🐪.

Most amazing church if not building ever. And you should see the interior. Mind blowing. The central spire will be way taller than those existing four. Been at it since 1885.
 
It is sunny and 52°F, to top out at a relatively good 72°, no rain.

@Sawnee Cat those grand kids are kicking butt. Best of luck to them.

@MdWIldcat55 and @AustinTXCat you all have safe travels. @AustinTXCat sorry that I am not going to see you this trip, so maybe summer.

Doctors appointment tomorrow afternoon; I always hate going because he will beat me up on my diet and drinking. Yuk.

Thanks Bert. I'm looking forward to being home, however briefly.

Home -- what a lovely word and idea. I haven't lived in Kentucky since 1977, and yet would never think of anywhere else as home.
 
Good morning everyone.

We still haven't had the adjuster look at my truck. Man, I hope they agree to fix it, but doubtful.

I've turkey hunted the last 2 mornings. We saw a bear yesterday within 50 yards, but no turkeys. This morning I hunted some of my old stomping grounds (mountain) since I can't get back into my hunting lease without the truck to pull the S x S. Hunting the old way brought back good memories. No turkey.

Wildlife Wednesday...it's about time to start spotting these little rascals. They should be a 10# black shiney bouncy ball of energy right now. Pic came from checking dens in Feb. (maybe Mar according to the pic) about 15 years ago. And, you've also seen the first hints of my wife.

Happy Hump Day Legionnaires!

50's this morning with thunderstorms and a lot of wind. Had some serious lightning strikes and booming thunder that actually shook the house about 30 minutes ago. Now light wind and a few clouds.

Did not get the weather yesterday that was supposed to be here so, played two ball games last night. Same result as last week, 1-1. I went 6 for 7 at the plate with a walk. Good batting night as 3 of the hits went for extra bases. Got knocked off of the mound with a line drive that put me on my ass. Lucky part was that I got my glove on it and made the out. Sat there for a moment to give my hand a bit of rest because it was a hot shot and it stung. After making sure I was alright my guys started laughing saying that it looked like I was shot at the way I fell back on my ass.

Here's to hopping you guys have an enjoyable rest of the day and God Bless.

It was enjoyable... 😁

I will probably be at the dentist office about the same time.(2:00 PM) I lost a crown on a lower right tooth and better get that fixed pronto. They squeezed me in tomorrow.

No pain or sensitivity, just a big hole back there
 
To clarify, when I say my personal record was 250 I was referring to 250 soldiers in Company A doing push-ups at the same time. Not me doing 250. I wanted to set the record straight.

Congrats on 25 in the morning. That is impressive.

Sir,

I understood, I just had to toot my horn. I got back to doing pushups as a way to get my upper body a little work out. After this move my pushups went from 10 to 15 up to the 20 to 25 range. I strained it this morning, the last two were rough.

I am looking for a heavy bag so I can get back to punching. I've been too long away from that. Just a good workout punching- "stuff"...(If you punch correctly.) I am thankful. No legs but I am thankful...

With the Reds 3 game winning streak...the Cards are now currently in sole possession of last place in the division...congrats on being second to last. I don't even look at pitching match ups or do any research at all...right now I just bet for the Cards to lose. Didn't bet the last Reds game...I bet against them first two games of the Rangers series and the Reds won both games 7-6....so I stayed away from game 3.

I Never quit doing pushups and have a pushup bar to help enhance however, I have not used it for a while. Only do knuckle pushups right now for the reason of punching. Can do around 40 or so before I reach muscle failure. I do those three times a workout during my upper body workouts Monday-Wednesday-Friday.

Is there a trophy for second best loser?
 
Good morning D-League. One more day at work then a very early morning drive to Kentucky. My nephew is getting married outside at the same spot one of my other nephew’s did a few years back —nice flat bottom bordered by a creek and hills on either side. It’ll be nice if the weather holds.

Hope you all have a good day.

Traveling man just ran through my head thinking about how much you have done lately.

Thanks Warrior. Always liked that song as a kid, and the one by Johnny Cash below...I told my wife this morning I'll be glad to have a Friday night just to chill out with her at home arguing over what to watch on Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu, then settling on a compromise neither of us particularly like so we can fall asleep half way through. Good times...

My wife and I have YouTube nights. We pull up YouTube on the big screen and each pull up our favorite musical videos and alternate. She will play one and pass the remote to me and I will play one. It brings back nice memories and is much more entertaining than any network program or some cable show with people arguing politics.

It is almost a game with us. Our musical tastes are similar and we both love music. So it is all good.

Yeah, he does it well. You all may know this, but it was originally an Australian song. That's a cool version even if you got no idea in hell where the guy is describing. Hank Snow and a co-writer just got down an atlas and started fitting places into the lines...Great tune...

And Hank Snow was Canadian. I wonder what a song like that for Canada would sound like.
