D-League

Good morning from ATX. Currently 64°F and clear. Today's high may reach 88°F. We may stay outta the 90s.

Walked two hours total yesterday. Hopefully I can get in a least one today.

Taking one rifle and one shotgun to a different shipper today. Last shipper sat on weapons for 8 days. Nein.

Wishing y'all an awesome day.

Good morning folks. Busy day already.

Warrior, I'm sorry about your friend's passing. Never the right time to say goodbye.

Rainy and cool in the east. Loads of work today. If I get through it, things will lighten up the rest of this week. And I'll get through it.

Hope the day is shaping up well for everyone.

I got back on Sir,

I went through the password change part but it never let me complete anything. I tried so many times it locked my account..

After a few hours I tried again and logged right on after facebook asked me if several recent posts I had made were mine along with verifying some pictures.

Sure glad I didn't have to go through that password change junk...

(I say that, let me try another computer now and see...)

Edit: Seems I'm good.... Like nothing ever happened... :rolleyes:

Good morning from ATX. Currently 58°F and clear. Expecting 81°F for today's high.

Cost $187.20 to ship a Remington 788 .308 and Winchester 1300 12 ga. shotgun back to KY. Crazy.

MRI and CT scans this morning. Currently on month 15 since diagnosis.

Vandy visits Rupp tonight. Game coverage begins at 8 CT. Go Cats!

Happy Hump Day. Wishing y'all a winning day.

Good morning folks.

Cats with the home finale tonight. Really need to win, and should. Go Cats.

Busy days at work. I had to give a speech to about 100 people yesterday, which I don’t enjoy and added a lot of complications to the day. That “hour” of the speech and questions after took a lot more prep time. In the past now, and by late morning I should be caught up with work.

Foggy in the east. Warming up. I hope you all have a great day.

HA,

Better you than me. I despise doing that and I doubt I ever get inside your type arena as mine is more focused but I have times when I must speak to large audiences. I can do it but sure do not like doing it. I'd do about anything else. I am not one for the lime light. just enjoy making people better around me, hoping my leadership notices... Yeah, right...

I don’t enjoy it. What I’ve learned through the years is that you have to SEEM like you are enjoying it. People respond to the energy and enthusiasm and effort to connect as much as whatever you say. So I gotta get up for it. And that takes a toll.

Read up on Thorlo socks. They are .expensive, but family owned and American made. They make socks specifically for different type use. I love the cushioning. I ran A LOT for years and they really helped with cushioning the impact. I will say since the old man died, some people are saying quality has dropped a little.

I quit wearing socks several years ago......I guess I have bad circulation.......when I wear socks, they cut the circulation off in my feet.........when I would take them off I would have a deep circle on my leg at the top of the sock......I never could wear colored socks..........I ain't have any fun getting OLD!

My bread and butter. I am stupid so making an ass of myself in front of a large group never bothered me.

Edit:
I was elected President of my High School class and my Principle wanted me to take a public speaking class in college. He got me in as a high schooler in college. I took to it.

In 2017 I finally bought a nice bass boat......seven years later it has less that 30 hours on the motor.....I have only had it out of the garage twice in the last two years......just to run old gas out of the tank.......I told the Director the other day that I was dropping the insurance on it........I planned on it going to my SIL when I pass but I am thinking I will let him tow it home and transfer it to his name the next time they visit.......maybe he will use it more than I do......he takes the kids over to the Horse Park 2-4 times a month and takes them fishing......

That's hard to do, and a laudable accomplishment Awf.

The last serious speech I had to give was for my induction into the Kentucky Journalism Hall of Fame. I actually did something I never thought I'd do -- I joined Toastmasters for several months just to have a place to practice the speech and get feedback. That was a prettty good group, at least the DC chapter. Had I joined twenty years earlier I'd have gotten something out of it.

In the end, COVID wiped out the ceremony and I gave the speech via Skype hook-up, a major disappointment for my parents and kids.

Sir,

I fish off the bank these days. Years ago when we lived in Radcliff I had a 13 foot John boat with a trolling motor I fished Fort Knox regularly. (That thing fit in the back of my F-150 at the time.)

My Darling is not much for fresh water fish and when we moved to San Antonio, I sold that boat and always wondered why though I don't even have a place now to store it if I had it. (I know i was on Fort Knox about once every ten days or so. Just enjoy being on the water.) Remember ice forming on my line many times.

Was actually looking at a place near the Chesopeake Bay (About 80 or so miles away depending on where you fish. I have a spot about 60 miles away that I like.) recently to buy with my oldest daughter to get her started in on some property. Thought I might open one of those airbnb things.

The weather never worked out to where we could go look at it. I think it's still for sale.

Even on the ocean I fish off the bank. May be nice to hit the water every once in a while. My Darling and I love the ocean. (May not be in the plans...)

The ponds and lakes on the Fort Knox reservation are legendary......at one time you could purchase a $5 permit to fish them.......I am scared of snakes........so there's that.........My buddy bought a place two years ago....(he got took).....they spiffed it up and started to rent it.......they made their mortgage.......but it was almost an hour to get there......they are closing on it today.......he said that he would have to make his fortune somewhere else.....

Yeah,

It seems a lot of work and IF you have good people assisting, maybe but that is a BIG maybe these days.

I really only wanted it to be able to park a boat to be able to fish. (I know, I know but that was my thought process.) The home is only two years old so any major issues should be okay for a while...

I see so MANY boats just parked all the time, or in storage....

It would take a natural act (Disaster) to keep me off the water if I had a boat...

I hear a lot talking about paying for the gas. (I'd bring some oars... ;)) (Or get me one of those "Solar" outboard motors....) 😁

The place I was looking at was about 700 or 800 feet from the water. (Maybe a 1000.) A couple streets over. Had a nice lot too.

I too hated public speaking. My last semester of college my advisor said I am missing an English credit and told me I needed to take a public speaking class.....negative. He said the only other way is to take 2 other English classes. Sign me up!!! I needed the hours one way or another anyway.

Fast forward another year and I took a job that required it daily. I ended up speaking occasionally in front of 200-300 people at a time. lol A paycheck makes you do things you didn't think possible.

@awf............impressive.

Fishing....that's how I found this thread. Did a search on fishing and it popped up. BBUK (and others) was talking fishing and maybe blue crabs and here I am.

Every once and a while we latch onto a Stingray... My Darling had her friends over and they had a feast..

Belt or Ribbon fish, there is a knack to catching these and I know it.. Going soon to catch a cooler more at a new place soon. Boney but just good eating...

Good morning everyone.

Babysitting the 3 yr old great, great niece again today. Her Mom is now a full time Mom and expecting her 2nd any minute now. So, we don't get her every week like we did for almost 3 years. I think all 3 of us will have a good day.

Nice game last night. A little iffy from the start. I glanced at the box score and I believe we had 44 rebounds with no player having more than 6. Balance. However, the defense. Goodness we can't stop a guard who wants to drive to the basket.

A huge game for us Saturday. It and the SEC tourney means something. I hope the coach/players feel the same.

I hope everyone has a great day.
