D-League

Good morning D-League. It's currently 41° and cloudy here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 56°.

Stay safe out there and have a great day.

Crappy concrete job there on the front.
 
Good Tuesday Morning D

Well yesterday afternoon we got a little rain, 1.7" in a little over an hour and also large hail. Some hail in the area measured 3". Currently it is 66° and we will see 83° with mostly sunny skies and a 10% chance of rain.

I trust all are well and we are thankful @AustinTXCat is enjoying some good times with friends and family. Family is so important and the older you get the more you realize how important it is to have their love. I received some nice photos from my granddaughter taken on Recognition Day and received word from a grandson who is preparing for his MCAT exam. They will be here when I am gone and I will leave this earth a satisfied man knowing God has bless us and kept us together and strong as a family.

Take care all,

MORNING LEGIONNAIRES!

53° this morning with a hint of rain. High to only be 56° with thunderstorms possible in the late afternoon. Looks like it could be a stay in day for me.

May try to get a walk in for the monster this morning depending on whether the weather cooperates. She is always in a better mood for the day when she gets her time outside of the fences. Back yard is big, but it just isn't the same.

Supposed to have 2 softball games tonight, however I doubt we get to them unless the rain is light, or it misses us. Actually, hope it rains, because the newer bats we have are expensive and rated for weather 70° or higher and could easily dent in cooler weather. Will have to use an old bat tonight if we play, don't want to waste the $400.00 I spent on the new one last year.

Well, that is about all from me this morning. You guys enjoy your day, be safe out there, and God bless.
 
Good morning folks. Beautiful, sunny and cool morning in the east.

Back on the subway heading downtown. That’s the moment you are REALLY finished with vacation.

Busy week then heading for Kentucky in the wee hours of Friday for a nephew’s wedding. This’ll be the fourth weekend out of five I’ve traveled, dating back to the Dallas trip to give the eulogy for a friend. I’m looking forward to the weekend when I can be home in bed, zoned out eating cheese and crackers and channel surfing for a so-bad-it’s-good streaming movie with my wife.

Hope it is a good day for all.
 
Hello all,

At home doing small stuff. Amazing... cleaned and put another leaf in our dining room table. (Oh, got my RO system installed late Sunday night. Great to have water on call again.) Sorting and tossing stuff too. Right across from our house is a large dumpster for building scraps. Got some of my scraps/ crap too.

I am thankful, hips feel rough but I am thankful...

Have a restful evening and go at it tomorrow...
 
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.
