Good morning all,

Sitting at my desk working as hard as you can work and still sitting.... ;)

Looking forward to this evening for sure, GO CATS! Have to work all week but am thankful I do not have to be in the swamp. Plenty of "things" in the works. We shall see... Enjoy this day and get the most out of it. Use what is available to you to make your day good!

Good morning folks.

Austin, that’s good news that things are stable. At my age I’d take stable on any given day instead of slightly less than stable.

Last work day of the week for me. Tomorrow morning early we’re off to Niagara Falls.

A chance to see the Cats play someone else tonight. A new era begins.

It’s another beautiful, cold clear day here. You all have a good one.

It got up to 82 here today. I keep waiting for fall. It ain't here yet.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and partly cloudy. Today's high expected around 89°F.

Cats looked good last night. Exciting basketball returns to the Bluegrass. Can hardly wait for next Tuesday's game.

Attempt early voting around 7 am. If full, I'll turn around and return home.

Attending a soccer match early this evening: USA Women's National Team vs Iceland. Match starts at 6:30 pm. Plan on walking 2.2 miles one-way to Q2 Arena.

Y'all have a great day.

Good morning folks. About to get on the road to Niagara Falls.

Cats looked good last night. I doubt we can tell much from that game but it is fun to have the fan base united for a new era, at least for now. If they hit that many 3s against Duke my head might explode.

I hope you all have a good day.

This is most of our fanbase last night.

I liked what I saw but, remain reserved until we play a good team. Shooting was definitely better than in recent years. Now we need to see if they can get open shots when playing a team with a better defense.

Ditto here. But I like the hustle and the unselfish play. I don't recall UK ever shooting 50% from three especially when they take that many.

I remember Pitino's first year. UK was on probation and the Cats just played loose and shot the light out. I hope that happens again this year.

It is 43.5°F here as the sun comes up. Clear and on our way to a slighter cooler 72°.

You all enjoy your Thursday.

Good morning everyone.

Up early to head to Cumberland Falls this morning for a group hike. It's about a 2.5 hour drive. Should be a great day to hike there.

I've been to the lake all week. Fishing was not good, but the squirrel hunting was successful. While there I listened to the pre-game, watched the entire game (on phone, ugh) and listened to the entire wrap up. I can't remember the last time I've done that. Awesome start to the Pope era. Going to be hard to pick a favorite player this year. I sure hope the fans don't find a whipping boy out of this group.

Enjoy your day.

Good morning from Niagara Falls.

We have a terrific room with a great view of the falls from the Canadian side. Just watched the sun rise over the falls while huge clouds of fog hovered. Very nice.

Just saying hello. Hope it is a Good Friday.

You guys are experts compared to me. I have never even taken a picture with my phone, let alone post one. I did open my phone once and found I had been using my camera for an unknown amount of time. I have one of those old flip phones that elderly dummies like me use. 😁

Sir,
I work in technology. I'm with you though. I do have a "smart" phone an android and the cheapest one I could find. Did buy My Darling an iPhone and she likes it. Everything I do on my phone I normally send it to my computer and type on a keyboard. I text a little on my phone but I despise using a phone to do what I do on my computer. I use multiple fingers to type and learned that on my own. "Ain't" into using my thumbs to type like I see so many "kids" doing... "Ain't" no monkey...

Anybody heard of FenCIN? From my understanding it is a Biden thing involving antiterrorism it was born in Brussels and Brazil is involved. Very leftist. Small businesses must register by Jan 1 regardless of how few employees. It is only Jan and I these days, but I am subject to a fine of 591 dollars a day and 2 years in the pen if I do not comply.

Man what to do, what to do....

I have come to seriously enjoy unsweetened coconut milk in my coffee. I buy the stuff in cans by the case.

Just tried a new brand I didn't like as much due to it being so watery. That is the first one: (The one I just tried and didn't like as much as the one I have drank a couple cases of..)

This is the one I have been using in my coffee for a good long while now. Probably all of 2024.

Good morning folks. Getting ready to enjoy my last full day at Niagara Falls. Took the boat ride up to the mouth of the falls yesterday. You get quite a sense of the power of the water —along with a thorough soaking if you insist on standing where we did. We also spent a few hour walking around the American side of the falls which is a beautiful state park. And last night we spent about an hour sitting down at the edge of the falls watching a dazzling light show as beams lit up the water in various colors. Fun times.

We may range out to some old towns in Ontario that are supposed to be lovely.

You all have a good Saturday.

Supposed to help lower blood pressure because of the potassium levels in it. Been working on trying to get mine down naturally because of the side effects of Metropolol and Lisinipril. Had one (Metropolol) prescribed by my family doctor and the other (Lisinopril) by a heart doctor. Did not like either because of side effects. However, was using Lisinipril when I was running out and called for a renewal from my heart doctor's office 3 times and in each case, they said a nurse would call me back and let me know when it was sent to my pharmacy. Never received the call either time and have not taken any for about 3 weeks now.

Blood pressure in now averaging a little above 140/85. I will take that number and work on natural ways to lower it. Have an appointment with the heart doctor in mid-November but might just say screw it if I get the blood pressure down a bit.

Good morning,

I have twelve cans of this stuff left. Checked Walmart and the half gallon coconut milk I used to buy doesn't have the crap in it and it's cheaper too. I used to use that. Put milk in my coffee this morning. Been having twinges on my right side but very slight. My VA doc ran extra blood tests and a urinalysis. Came back fine but now I think I know.

That Metabisulphite crap is a killer.

"Sodium metabisulphite (SMBS), the commercially produced salt of sulphurous acid, is a preservative used to extend the shelf life of meat products such as fresh sausages and burgers, even though it can have adverse effects on some people, especially asthmatics."

Just HORRIBLE what the FDA and USDA allow in American food. All for kickbacks...

Health Information Sodium metabisulfite typically found in consumer products should pose little a risk of symptoms due to skin or inhalation exposure since sodium metabisulfite is used in very low concentrations. Sodium metabisulfite can produce the following adverse health affects:  Contact - Skin exposures can cause symptoms ranging from minor skin irritation or itching to redness and swelling. Eye exposure to sodium metabisulfite may result in redness, tearing or moderate eye irritation.  Inhalation - The inhalation of sodium metabisulfite dusts can cause nose and throat irritation or coughing. Repeated or prolonged exposures may cause sore throat or nosebleeds. Inhalation may also cause severe respiratory reactions and aggravate asthma or other breathing diseases.  Ingestion - The ingestion of sodium metabisulfite may cause irritation of the mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.  Other Effects - The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has not classified sodium metabisulfite as a carcinogen (cancer causing).

Also read where it causes serious liver issues which is my concern.


For about 13 or 14 dollars I will trash it. Darn, I was thinking about just finishing it off but that is stupid since I have a good idea this is what is causing my issues. I really watch what I eat. I just eat too much.

My Darling made pancakes for me and the BB this morning. My daughter dropped him off so she could hit the gym. I cut it to three instead of six. Been doing that type stuff for a couple months now. Dropped 15 pounds without trying. Still eat what I want, just cut the portions. Want to get back to 205. Twenty pounds to go...

Good Morning everyone

Our trip to Cumberland Falls yesterday was a success. No problems at all except my wife didn't find anything on the menu at the lodge that she could eat due to her allergies. It was absolutely perfect weather and the leaves were great.

I'm still excited about the Bball game Wednesday and already looking forward to Tuesday and the rest of the season. Oh, I guess it's Game Day today, but................

I hope everyone has a great day.

I could have sworn that UK would tie the modern-day series with a win against UL this year. I know I've been keeping up with it because it's one of the only things the locals can throw in my face. I forgot about the 2021 forfeited season. Ugh! Now 2-games back.

IU now 8-0. Damn it!

Vandy hanging in with Texas. Vols are for real. UK should go after their coach while he's hot.

Another baseball story. It is told by Billy Sunday the baseball player turned evangelist. It involves Ned Williamson, one of baseball's biggest stars in the 1880's. After the season a group of players took a trip to tour Europe. As Sunday told it, on the way home there come a great storm and the ship was rocking. They all thought they might die. Ned was a large man and he put on 2 life vests and one on his wife. He was a big drinker and he told God that if He let him live, he would quit drinking forever. The skies Immediately cleared and the winds died down.

When they got home, Ned bought a tavern in Chicago and went back to his old ways. Sunday said every time he did a revival in Chicago, he would stop by and see Ned. Ned would cry like a baby, but he just couldn't quit his ways. Ned died a young man from liver complications and TB. Sunday said Ned's liver was hard as a rock and huge.

Just tell them that in the last 10 years (The real "Modern Day") UK has kicked UL's ass.
