D-League

Good morning D-League. Mini Beach vacation is off the an excellent start. The ocean is really lovely this time of year and you can walk along the beach at the edge of the waves for a mike and see just a few people. Pods of large dolphin passing by just off shore —amazing creatures.

We went to our favorite fish and chips place for lunch run by a British couple we’ve gotten to know over the years —best fish and chips I’ve had anywhere including London which I’ve visited 4-5 times. Then for dinner we had the best crab cakes with fresh Chesapeake Blue Crabs I’ve ever had —and that’s saying something because Maryland is to crab cakes what Kentucky is to bourbon.

Nice day planned so I’ll wish you all well.
 
Good morning everyone.

@MdWIldcat55 We've only been once but loved the Dewey Beach area.

Frightful Friday...I always said in 40 years of outdoor education that copperheads are not aggressive and I've never been struck at even though they've had plenty of opportunities. Can't say that anymore, but it hesitated just long enough for my old man quickness to kick in. It was just outside the screen door of the patio and I may have walked by it 5 minutes earlier to get it stirred up.

Thankfully my hand/eye coordination is still good and the second swing with the broomstick while it was trying to make a getaway and snake eyes. 27"

RIP

I hope everyone has a better day than the snake.

Super to hear. We are at Westmoreland State Park. No fish but we are the only ones on the pier. I have tons of work to do but have the rest of the weekend....

Have a wonderful time. (Sounds like you are...)

Copperheads are the worst. I've been so close to being struck multiple times. Each time they hit home, they hit metal. (This is multiple occasions at different times at different places. Yes the Lord has watched over me so many many times in many many different types of mortal danger.... I am thankful...
 
Man,

I may have messed up...

I think this is a Red Drum. I thought the keeper size was 15 inches and this was about 17 inches but I looked it up. (I am still not sure that is what this is but if a Red Drum it was supposed to be 18 inches to keep it...)

The only decent fish I caught all day... (Supposed to be goooood eating...)

Saw this online tonight. Visited Segovia, Spain before covid. A few years since this 1911 photo, but still really cool:

Sill living under the Might of Rome. Townspeople under the majestic arches of Segovia's 1st century Roman aqueduct, 1911. The aqueduct bridge uses no mortar or cement between the 20,400 blocks of stone, which remain standing solidly today in a perfect balance of forces.

Temp here dropping like a rock. Windy. 74 @ 5pm. Now 59. 45 by morning & high of 58. It is October.
 
Good morning folks. Another nice day at the beach yesterday. And it should be the same today.

Cats have a rare shot at one of those program defining wins today. It would be a hell of an achievement, and maybe the biggest win for Kentucky football in my lifetime? That may be an exaggeration but I can’t recall beating #1.

Heading for a walk along the beach. Hope everyone has a good day.
 
@MdWIldcat55 We beat #1 LSU back during Andre Woodson and Rafeal Little's day not too long ago.
@BBUK We all do it eventually. I made a dandy mistake once deer hunting, checked it in for all to see. lol
Thanks for that reminder Storm. I recall that game and LSU being highly ranked but not #1.

My historical knowledge of the basketball program far outweighs that of the football program.

Just looked it up to be sure and also found out we beat #1 Mississippi Sept. 26, 1964.....2 days before I was born. So, it's only happened once in my lifetime. #2 sure would be nice.
Not that I remember that game, but they must not have stayed #1 for long as OM would up 5-5-1 that year.

Now we did beat another #1 during my lifetime in the 1951 Sugar Bowl: Oklahoma.
 
Good morning all,

Raining, no soccer.... bought the BB some parachute men. We are running up and down the stairs.....throwing them off the balcony....😐🥰🧐.... I bought em.... He's a good boy .. The Lord knows what I need...

Thanks... (Figured I'd post it for posterity... (Got lots of sense..but seem to carry them in my pocket mostly. ;) )


Andre Woodson... He was such a nice young man. He was at North Hardin when my children went there. A friend I worked at Fort Knox with at the time had a daughter Andre dated. I was at some park and Andre was there. (A tall booger.)

Anyway, he was still in high school and talking to him was seriously refreshing as he could carry on a real conversation. (Used Sir and Ma'am then.. His parents could be proud. (That was what I thought at the time.))
 


Above is excellent... Below is beloved...

 
Come on UK............... Do it "Your Way"......



GO CATS!!!!!!


"Twist and Shout" CATS!!!

Georgia, 6 possessions 6 scores. Over 300 yards passing. In my wildest dreams I never saw this coming. Stupid penalties didn't help but it wouldn't have mattered. Men against boys at this point. Hate to be negative. What really adds insult to injury is that UL is playing Notre Dame tough. One of the few games I pull for the Irish.
