D-League

Man,

Been working today. Detailed My Darlings car, moved dirt to the back patio for her flowers, washed several loads of clothes, been to soccer practice, baked a large pan of small biscuits for My Darlings church group lunch today..(about 50), threw the BB in the wagon and walked him and My Darling around our subdivision twice, and now playing Legos with the BB.

Got four yuenglings drank and I needed them. Hitting the shower then hitting the hay.... Have a fine rest of your night.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 51°F and cloudy. Windy. Today's high expected around 68°F.

Yeah, Vols jumped out early on the Cats pitching yesterday. Score was 5-0 top of first before a single out occurred. Better luck today. We'll be watching.

Heading over to Aldi again today. Love that store. Too bad store located 7.5 miles from here.

Wishing y'all a peaceful Sunday.

Good morning from eastern KY. Pic is from last night, but home is just over the hill from that gravel spot you see. The view is from near the top of Pine Mountain looking down toward my home and out towards the Hazard area. Hard to imagine there are houses buried deep under the hills and trees.

Busy day today and hope to see some good news this evening when I check back online.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Storm I love the Appalachian mountains. They are not as majestic as the Rockies but are simply pretty.

Good morning folks.

Back from a long hike. Flipped on the TV and it was perfect timing to see the last big shootout scene in Unforgiven —one of the peak moments in the canon of Westerns…”I don’t deserve this. I was building a house.” “Deserve’s got nothing to do with it.” Maybe my favorite line in a western.

Heading for a shower then coffee. Hope it’s a good Sunday morning for everyone.

I read something on RR on NIL that reminded me of a story I heard many years ago. When business was booming, I knew customers from all over the USA. One was a lady from Nashville. This was when Mercer was playing for UK. It wasnt for NIL as that didnt exist then, but universities had people whose job was to solicit funds for the school. My customer knew the lady whose husband had the job of getting donations for Vandy. Mercer was from the Nashville area. His grades were short of qualifying for Vandy by a ridiculously small number and Vandy would not budge on the numbers. The guy was inundated with calls threatening to stop donations unless Mercer was accepted. Obviously, they did not and it got to the guy so much that he had a heart attack.

This is a second hand story, but I do think the lady who told me the story knew people at the university and don't think she would lie about it.

I sure drink coconut milk by the can... A couple cans a week. Love the stuff in my coffee. The unsweetened version. Just a good feeling drinking it with coffee.. Caught it on a real good sale and bought two cases. (That was a second time I was able to do that.) Stuff gets pricy.

I like coconuts and drink the milk from the inside of the nut. Used to eat them quite often in the past but have not in a while. They are rather dry even in the nut once opened. However, when I was in Panama (Jungle training) in the early 80's, There was this Samoan SSG who climbed a coconut tree and got us a couple, took off the husk, and broke them open. We drank the milk and could eat the whole coconut because it was moist and fresh. Best tasting coconut I ever ate.

If anyone is interested, Thunder Over Louisville fireworks show begins at 9:30. If you're not in the viewing area I'm sure there's an online site. I'll be watching comfortably from my sofa. No way would I venture down there. The airshow is still going on. Planes have been flying over our house for hours.

Pretty good year if the news is telling the truth.....only one shooting at Waterfront Park......They will move the address for all the assaults and robberies over to Washington Street so the park doesn't get the bad name it deserves........my friends got robbed at gun point a few years ago when they first opened the walkway over the Ohio.......the Po Po put the address of the incident over on Washington Street.......their explanation to him was that, "the park doesn't have an address".....hmmmmm.....

I got another story for you guys. I had a customer from St Louis who stabled horses for people. Now I always liked Mike Shannon (aka Moon Man). Moon was quite a character. He was called Moon because people said he couldn't possibly be from this world. Moon came to his barn wanting him to board his horse for free. Moon's reasoning was since he was a big name around St Louis, having his horse in the barn would bring more business to him. I hate to tell that story since I always liked Moon, but I thought some of you baseball fans might be interested.

Brought back a memory Sir...

When I was a teenager I worked a LOT of different jobs to keep making dough. Went to "classes" to learn how to sell Filter Queen vacuum cleaners. (This was up near Detroit.)

Had a demonstration with Elvis Shelton (Some may know him as an Elvis impersonator.) (A local Elvis impersonator.) Anyway I went through the demo and he had the same thing in mind, I give him a filter queen and he'd advertise it to his fan club. I think he told me at the time he had 750 or so members. I laughed then and I laugh about it now.

What I did offer him was part of the proceeds I received for each one I sold to his fan club, of course he never went for that. Even in my teens I was pretty savy... Have to trust yourself if you are anything in the first place but that concept may be too bold for many...

Just a memory....

Just got back from the BB's T-Ball practice and taking My Darling to the Food Marts.... Now going to finish a paper I promised my CIO and RMF team lead on Cloud containerization... and the security thereof... ;) (I need a couple hours to read so I can ensure my thought process is correct...) Have a fine afternoon and GO CATS!!!

I had a few swigs of coconut milk that way but not to the extremes you mention. Just bought at a store.

I like about coconut anything. I shy away from the added sugar though but it's good.

Afternoon D, not a lot going on today, saw where the bat cats lost. Also saw where we just picked up our first recruit, the big guy for Drexel, Williams I think. Also want the D to know there's a comet out right now, suppose to peak tonight I think, it's called 12P/Pond Brooks. You can find it in the western sky just above the horizon, between sunset and 9 p, if you can find Jupiter it will be west of it, going to try and find it later. Have a good one D!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 52°F and clear. We may see 74°F for today's high. Nice out. Hiking later after sun rises.

@cordmaker : missed the comet. Little too cloudy here last night. Thanks for the heads up.

Meh, Cats lost to Vols again in baseball yesterday. Meanwhile, UK men's tennis won another SEC tournament title.

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

Good morning D-League.

Another beautiful day in teh east, though I am stuck at work. Looking to get ahead on a few things. On Thursday, my wife and I are flying to Austin then driving out to the US FIsh and Wildlife site where my son lives and works for a visit. Looking forward to seeing all that and the Texas Hill Country.

I hope it is a good day for all.

Doubt it rains all day on those days. In fact, if he's located out in Hill Country, y'all may catch more breaks than us here in ATX.

Morning Legionnaires!

51° this morning with moderate winds and a high today in the low 80's

Coed softball games were rained out on Sunday, but I have two games with the men's league tonight.

Spent yesterday afternoon watching the 96, 98, and the 2012 championship games. Was just surfing YouTube and they popped up so...a good way to spend a lazy afternoon.

Monday/Tuesday start of the week for me and wife. She took yesterday off so, this is her Monday to start the work week.

@Bkocats, drop by more often, less grumpy over here (weird though, since we are the older guys).

Stay safe out there folks, and God Bless.

Good morning folks. Plowing through piles of work so I can leave Thursday morning for Texas and the visit to our son with a clear(ish) conscience.

Cats are picking up some pieces. So far, only Amari Williams looks like a starter on a competent team. But some of the other guys who are reportedly on board can contribute, and be better in years to come. I'd like to see Pope lock up Great Osobor from Utah State today. I believe he's a worthy piece. Then nail a couple from the hand-full of top guards out there. But I'm feeling optimistic.

Hope you all have a great day.

Good morning folks.

Last work day before my Texas trip.

Cool and clear in the east. A beautiful morning for my walk.

Reds back on track last night. It’s funny how baseball can be a thread running through your life. I’m on a Reds’ history site on FB and someone there noted that 60 years ago yesterday the Reds beat the Colt 45s 1-0 despite being no-hit. And my memory of excitedly talking about that game with my dad as a young boy over the morning Enquirer, how weird it was to win without a hit, came back as clear as if it were yesterday. Amazing to think he was a man in his early 30s then.

Heading in to work. Hope you all have a great day.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 70°F and cloudy. Rain chances increasing this morning. Today's high may reach 83°F.

- 4-6 assholes attempted to break into next-door neighbor's place night before last. Police came out. No arrests.

- Yay, Coach Pope recruited another player . Let's see how much longer he needs to fill a roster with guys who can play. Stay tuned.

- Worked late yesterday. Queue full of tickets awaits this morning.

- Chemo this afternoon.

- Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Good morning everyone

Back from the lake. We had some good but chilly fishing weather. Only caught one keeper striper but still a good trip. Pic is the little dock where we usually launch our boat. One of the big marinas moved into the ramp where we originally launched when we first bought the place 25 years ago. It's way back in the middle of nowhere but really growing since Covid (not good for us).

Glad we picked up Williams and looking forward to filling out the roster.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Morning Legionnaires!

61° this morning with moderate winds. Low 70's expected for the day with thunderstorms possible.

Dental appointment today to see if upper left healed enough to put in implants.

Played 2 games last night and did better offensively this week than last. Went 3-4 and 2 walks as we won both, 14-7 and 10-1. Found out one of the new guys (younger) has a cannon for an arm as there was a base hit to the outfield and a man on second tried to score. I was behind the plate and the throw was on a rope but a bit high. I went up to get it and I guess the runner thought it was going over my head because he did not slide. I caught it and brought the glove down on his shoulder before he stepped on the plate. It was a the third out of the inning and as we walked into the dugout, my guys were laughing saying that they did not know an old man could jump that high.

Hump day folks so, get it done so you can glide into the weekend.

@MdWIldcat55, safe travels.

@AustinTXCat, God's hands be on you for treatment.

To everyone, God Bless.
