First time I glanced at that schedule I saw 6-6.

Very possible. Away games against Ole Miss, Florida, Texas and Tennessee plus a home game against UGA. USC has beaten the Cats the past 2 years. UL is no given. Auburn is still Auburn. I'll stick with 7-5 but that might be a little optimistic. Need an upset.

Getting closer and closer to kickoff gentleman.

Schedule is very tough this year, can't slip up against any team we should beat. I put us in the 6-6 to 8-4 range with 7-5 most likely. Have to beat everyone not named Georgia and Ole Miss the first six games and start 4-2.

For me, our schedule is bimodal: 4 extremely tough games, 3 in the middle, & 5 very easy to not that tough.

Good morning from Varis Guest House in Lerwick, Shetland Islands. Currently 52°F, cloudy and windy. Today's high may reach 55°F.

Really enjoyed myself here in the Shetlands thus far. More so than Orkney's.

Ship shoves off at 5 pm local. Plan on arriving at least by 3 pm for check in. 14-hour overnight voyage down to Aberdeen. I've reserved a sleeping pod for this trip.

Ask and ye shall receive.

Good morning folks. Very light rain during my run this morning. Glad to have made it to Friday and to be looking ahead to a long weekend.

I'm supposed to be part of a Kamala Harris interview today. But her staff is jerking us around, and saying it might have to be tomorrow (Saturday of a long weekend.) We'll see.

So, we'll find out some things about the football Cats this weekend. Honestly, I've been a fan too long to expect much. Pencil in another 7-5 with three cupcake wins and Vanderbilt, and 3-5 against the real schedule. Honestly, I hope that isn't too optimistic. Elsewhere, I am really hoping Texas A&M can throttle Notre Dame tomorrow night. That alone would make the opening weekend for me. A few other good games.

I hope you all have an easy Friday.

It is already 78.8°F here at 8:55 am on our way to 96°. Yesterday was a hot one.

@MdWIldcat55 Harris is scared of a microphone or a reporter with a note pad. She changed every one of her positions from 4 years ago last night on CNN. I don't understand how she ever got out of law school.

She setup an interview with a Korean news station, then at the appointed time sent them a pre-recorded video. (This within the last couple days.)

Good morning everyone.

You all have something else in common with me....you look better as a couple than as an individual. I say that often about myself.

We've been in Pigeon Forge this week. Walked the entire Cades Cove loop ( a little over 12 miles). We only saw one bear, but did see over 20 deer.

Getting close to watching a game again.

I hope everyone has a great day.

I tell people all the time, I am the black sheep of my family. They laugh. They see my picture, they quit laughing.

I use a classic John Wayne quote: "I am God-given lucky."

I was out at 5:30 am for a run and heard right outside my house a really eerie, mournful cry. Much more robust and spooky than a Mourning Dove. I managed to get a recording on my I-Phone and sent it to my stepfather-in-law, who is an avid birder.

The verdict: This guy, the Barred Owl.

My favorite. Well, one of my favorites. We imitate those to make a turkey shock gobble in the spring. "Who cooks for you, who cooks for you allllllllllllllllllllllllll". It's pretty awesome to get a 1/2 dozen or so calling back and forth before daylight.

On the issue of AC, our system has gone out at least once a year in the prior three years but not this year (so far). The last time it got repaired the repair man told us that the next time it goes out we would need to replace the whole system because it is old, and we need the newer system because R22 is getting scarce or cannot be used anymore. If it does not go out before next spring, we plan on changing it out anyway before it heats up again. This fall I have other issues to deal with. Wife wants carpet gone and wood flooring, new furniture in the living room, lights in kitchen and dining room changed etc...

Money, money, money, money...MONEY! It all comes out of my account as I told her a few years ago that all house repairs and upgrades will be my burden because she puts a large portion of her earnings into stock and other retirement type areas since she will have no other income outside of SS when she gets to my age.

Oh, and yeah, she wants a new car so we can give her 2017 Nissan Rogue to our daughter when she finally (working on it now) gets her license. I told her I will give her $10,000.00 for a down payment for what she settles on to keep the payment down. She will start looking in about a month or so to get the end of year deals.

Good morning folks. Got my run out of the way and getting ready for a work day, thanks to our vice president. Yes, Kamala postponed her interview yesterday, so we're doing it today. Then I've got to do some other work with designers, and so on, to get ready for a deadline early next week.

Cats need to get off to a fast start today. I see UK is a 27.5 point favorite. I have a feeling its a slow start with a new QB and so many changes on both lines. I think the Cats pull away in the 3rd Quarter and win by a couple touch downs.

I hope it is a great Labor Day weekend for all.

OK. But is that an attempt? I'd figure a shot/gun/knife/climbing the stage to come to with that. Oh well.

A long time ago there was a football player, maybe Mark Curtis? A fan up in the stands had been drinking with friends who dared him to go down on the field, grab the ball and run. He did and the player put a vicious tackle on him. Said the guy wanted to see what it was like to run with the ball, so he showed him what it was like to get hit. The guy was hurt bad enough that he couldn't work, so he lost his job. When he lost his job, his wife left him. His life was ruined.

I don't know what the Trump guy had in mind or if he had any weapons. Even the hand can be a deadly weapon. Maybe he was drunk and just did something dumb or maybe he meant harm?

Electricity went out about 20 minutes ago. They said it may be a few hours before it gets turned back on. I may not be watching the game so, no artillery during scores if they don't get it back on.

Lucky today had a high of around 88 otherwise🥵

That sucks warrior. Hope the Cats have a smooth, dominate game with no injuries.

Very much enjoying this beatdown of Florida that Miami is giving them.
