Good morning all,

Was thinking about MdW too... Unusual...

Sitting in the wife's car drinking my coffee. My Darling has choir practice before the 8:30 service.

Only live about 1200 or so feet away but sitting here is quiet and peaceful. I am thankful. These last few days have been stupid busy.

Watched part of "In Harms Way"... Yesterday...

Plan to tackle my garage today for part of the day.

44 outside though, gonna have to warm up some.

Need to finish pasting and painting one wall at a time so I can put up better shelving.... We shall see... Plan on making a pan of biscuits for supper. The wife bought some ribeye steaks we plan on too. Have a blessed day....

Hey folks,

I wanted to share the sad news that my mother passed away on Wednesday. We had a lovely service on Saturday, just the family of her five children, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Everyone made it but one great-grandson who had just shipped out to Hawaii on his first post-boot camp assignment with the Marines. My kids and grandkids all converged from DC, Texas and Kansas City.

My mother grew up poor in Bracken County. She had a simple but noble vision for her life from early on, to love and care for my father and their children and to expand that caring to anyone else in our town who needed it. And she succeeded in every possible way.

She died peacefully, and with the faith that we’ll all be reunited someday. It’s toughest on my father but we are all struggling to deal with the loss.

May God rest her soul and grant her the promise to reunite with her family.

Losing your Mom is hard but you made many travels home to see and take care of her. Mothers are the foundation of families. I had a good one.

Prayers for your family MdWildcat.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.

Pope press conference, it’s a new day for Kentucky basketball. Thank goodness.

Pope was fun to listen to. The crowd was amazing. Good to see a lot of former players there. All around great day.

I miss a few.... Come on home...

Played two coed softball games today. We lost both 11-8 and 9-5. We were in both games but blew it late. I have not played coed in years but the guy running our men's team has a coed team and was short 3 people. So, I brought an extra guy and the coach played so, that made just enough to not forfeit.

Not a banner day for me as I have not hit since last year and went 0-4 with 3 walks. Made a couple of errors in the first game but tightened up my D in the second. Since he was so short of players, I played SS, and he played 3rd. He is 62, our leftfielder was 61, and of course me at 66. Not the recipe for really competing against the youngsters. The rest of our people were 40 and under. Some 20-year-olds in the mix as well. Made some hard-to-get snags with the glove which felt good and the team saying they did not know old men could move like that.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 69°F and cloudy. Expecting 82°F for today's high.

- Coach Pope said all the right things at his presser yesterday. Really hope we get Reed Sheppard back.

- Tax Day. IRS already raped me.

- Monday, Monday. Wish y'all a great start to your week.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Heading inside....

Enjoy your day(s)...

 

[warrior-cat]

Morning legionnaires!

66° this morning with a high in the low 80's expected.

Have not seen the presser myself, will watch later today after the normal morning workout and walk of the monster. Workout will be moderate because I am sore everywhere this morning after the 2 games yesterday. Going to be a couch potato day today and possibly tomorrow depending on how long I am sore.

Since it was 91° and sunny yesterday, it was hot, and I lost 4lbs from the time I left the house to the time I got home. Drank 4 Gatorades during the games and two beers afterwards so, that gives you enough info as to how much fluids I lost. Drank more water and Gatorades when I got home and gained those pounds back.

Taxes... well, we have to pay this year for the first time in years. Not much mind you but considering we got a little over 3K each year for the last few years in return it is a bit confusing. The only thought we could figure is the pay raise my wife got in June last year taking over a management position in the company she works for (still in limbo about job going away. Should know definitively In May). However, reading up on returns this year we have found out that more people are paying this year so far than did last year so...

Monday, Monday folks. Be careful and safe out there.

@MdWIldcat55 thoughts and prayers again today as this will take time. Hopefully you can find comfort in the Lord.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks.

I appreciate all the kinds words of consolation posted on this board concerning my mother's passing. Thanks to all of you - it has helped. I've always known what a thoughtful, caring bunch the D-Leaguers are, and you all have confirmed it.

I'm far from feeling ready to return to the business of the world, but the world is not waiting any longer for me to play my part. So back to work, and my duties as a father and husband. I'm sure all of you have been there and risen to the occasion, as I will try to do.

Have a good day folks.

Sorry, MD. Not many keep their parents till near 70. Lucky you.

UK BB on a real tear. 14-1 in SEC, ranked 3-7 depending on poll/RPI (all up from week before).

I have both quarterly taxes filled out and stamped on their way to the post office.

At nearly 78 years old they still stick me bad.

We have regular IRA's with enough in them to pay our taxes from, so we don't make quarterly payments, just pay taxes once near the end of the year since they count as IRA distributions which can be done anytime.

I have twelve sources of income and my CPA says collect the revenue and pay quarterly. So I do that.

My CPA said she may have to file an extension. It is very complicated this year. Last week they were "under review". I'm kind of worried. Time is short.

Yes Sir,

I do my own. Just stupid complicated this year. I added another property though and we moved as well but, we've done that before. This year was different for me....

I was used to playing competitive softball, but after I quit, the plant I worked at (a few thousand workers) got up a "company co-ed league " and the guys I worked around wanted to form a team, so I joined. One day I rounded third headed for home plate as hard as I could run. I could see out of the corner of my eye that the catcher was standing on home plate sightseeing. I figured if he was dumb enough to block the plate, I was dumb enough to run over him. When I got about 3 steps from the plate I realized it was a woman. I managed to pull up and not run over her, but pulled a leg muscle in doing so. It has bothered me off and on ever since.

 

[BBUK]

If the Lord doesn't take me home, I am thoroughly going to enjoy tomorrow morning in a manner I cannot express properly.....yet. (If you have a mind, say a prayer for me.) I have to contain myself in a way I do not want to but I must. If I can pull it off properly I will hopefully give an older man a life-lesson. (We can all still learn, no matter our age.) (This guy just actually needs to be put in his place and, what I have to do, just may do it....)

 

[UK82]

No real surprises so far. Wagner, Z, Bradshaw, Edwards. A little surprised at Thiero but he may come back. Sheppard? I think Perry is a lock. Love the kid. Most likely next year will be full of portal players but that's the way of the world these days. I don't like it but this year may play to UK's advantage. Go Pope!

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F and cloudy. Slight chance for rain. High today may hit 83°F.

- Listened to Coach Brooks, Coach Pope and Coach Mingione last night. All were impressive. Enjoyable 2.5 hours.

- Baseball Cats at Cards, 6 pm tonight. Go Cats!

Wishing y'all an awesome day.

Good morning folks.

A beautiful, cloudless, sunny and cool day in the east. I briefly took pilot lessons when I was a teenager, running out of money before I could get a license then getting too busy. But there was a term my instructor used that would apply today - CAVU, ceiling and visibility unlimited.

Back to the DC office, bouncing along on the subway. I got about a third done with the work mountain that accumulated last week. Need to dig faster today. Have a good one guys.

I'm supposed to be back working in that vacinity soon though it is supposed to be at a minimal amount per pay period.

Hire a couple of moles, they have been reeking havoc in my yard.

They invaded my sweet potato patch last year. This is only the second year that the;y have been here.....they must've destroyed 250-300 lbs of potatoes........they have already ruined about half of the onion sets I put out (4 lbs) and it looks like I will have to replant my potatoes also........
