Just an enjoyable snack I call a meal...

Rice cake with a lima bean coating... My Darling soaked the lima beans until their skin came off, then took the skins off and created this masterpiece of a meal/ snack. Had it yesterday evening and just finished another piece... Yes I am thankful. Just a hint of sugar.

That coating is just Lima Beans, all steam cooked...with Rice Flour.... Just enjoyable...

Afternoon , D, not much going on today, just looking forward to the ballgame tomorrow. When I worked at Dyno, we had a problem with the powder we worked with sucking the moisture out of our hands causing cracks to develope. The company bought us some hand lotion named Stokolan which is some of the best lotion I have ever used for dry hands, after I retired I ordered some to keep on hand here at the house. I also have discovered that Chapstick is as good if not better than any lotion I have used, just rub in into the cracks on your fingers. Just a helpful hint I thought I would throw out there to the D on a slow day.

What an era....

 

[BBUK]

Man,

Going to sleep as late as I can remember. Papa's granddaughter here is in bed with Grandma. (She is 4.) Papa is sleeping in the most comfortable mattress in the house on the floor in our upstairs.

I finished my job work around 6. Did personal work for mine and My Darlings other interests until around 8:30, then surfed the internet after my youngest daughter then my son called. Ole Dad interjects in so many areas. About 10 or so I sat at my desk and did........nothing until now. Been a long while since I did that. I am thankful.....

IT'S GAME DAYEEYAYEEYAYEEYAY!

Wife and daughter want to go out to eat breakfast when they get up (IHOP, Jimmy's Eggs, etc...) They normally get up later in the morning on the weekends (daughter every day) and we generally get out between 1030-11:00 and eat lunch out. Now they want to eat a breakfast type meal instead of lunch. I told them go ahead, but as for me, I will eat breakfast earlier and lunch after the game. They have decided to eat at home today as they don't like going out without me. Better plan as I plan on taking down Christmas decorations after the game (yeah, they are still up).

Good morning from ATX. Currently 45°F and clear. Two cold fronts inbound. Today's high may reach 60°F. Great chances for snow/ice next Monday and Tuesday. Try hitting up grocery store later.

Tide vs Cats at Rupp. Game starts at noon ET. Go Big Blue!

Wishing y'all another great day.

Good morning everyone

Roads are finally clear around here and now just waiting for the next snow storm and cold. It brings back memories of the winters we use to get consistently........Wow, just had a big tree uproot straight across from the house. Freezing and thawing will do that. It sounded closer....no damage to anything.

Looking forward to the game. Need to win these at Rupp.

Have a great day.

Donald not bad. Tastes great over the holidays.

Good morning all,

Rowsing now, sounds like My Darlings awake, listening to her phone and the south Korean conflict reporting. Korean news is as bad as The "American* news but that countries populous is also finding out the lying, non reporting and deceit too.

Getting my house ready to be trashed all next week by the builders Monday who are coming back to repair our ceiling drywall and wall issues again. Will only work here Monday, then Friday so a dirty trashed house all next week....

Go CATS....

Some of the wild ducks are very good. It depends mostly on what they eat. Puddle ducks eat mostly plants and are good. Diver ducks can feed on fish plus plants and they are iffy. One of the worst wild game animals I've eaten was a diver duck (Bufflehead). I raised Chocolate Labs for twenty years and absolutely loved duck hunting.

I'm not sure I've eaten a domestic duck either.

Oh, a buddy of mine called me yesterday. I met him by hiring him when he worked in Colorado for my agency at the time. He got another job with the Army near me, we met and his wife, my wife and I became good friends. He is one of the Chief Cloud officer's for the space force now. He just told me after two months the scum chump, that he got the job at Fort Knox he wanted to be able to come home and be near his Dad. He named me as a former supervisor/ manager and I got the chance to talk with the hiring manager for his job for a good bit talking about Kentucky and Fort Knox. (He is tremendous at his work but a glowing recommendation works wonders as well.) It seems the hiring manager and I knew each other way back when, when I worked at Knox... I was kind of down because I thought he never got the job and I knew he wanted it but even after my glowing recommendation I thought I failed him for a couple months now. He's such a turkey.

Anyway he's going home a big shot. A serious Big Shot. (He deserves it.) Just a feel good story that helped me keep going yesterday. He is a Kentuckian born and bread so Kentucky is getting back one of it's own and a goodun. I will tell another story on him and his wife another time if I think of it... Just an unreal situation that doesn't happen to many people. I don't have the sense that God gave a goose... 😆

Go CATS!!!

 

[UK82]

Go Cats! Butler questionable to play today. Ugh!

I think it is over rated, just like deer.

 

[BBUK]

Oh Sir, Sir, SIR...

Deer must be prepared properly but the jerky, Oh the deer jerky... An experience... Yeah Duck I can take or leave. Ate a good bunch of it over in Korea but I called it a cross between chicken and turkey but more bland. (Just me...)

 

[BBUK]

Okay, I will tell the story of my Buddy, I mentioned above. I took his wife to have her baby. It worked out he was in a class in DC and couldn't get out of it. I took his wife at five or so in the morning to the hospital to have her baby. He came late that evening as she was having it. When I dropped her off She hugged me and kissed my cheek and thanked me. I looked at her and said; "I didn't do anything." I think I made her go into labor as she started belly laughing so hard.

She had a fine son. She is quite a bit younger than my friend as he was I think 55 or so at the time. It was not his first child but she had to go through some costly treatments and procedures to even have a child...

Always struck me funny as I tell people I took my Buddy's wife to have her baby... I have had many experiences in my life but that was a new one...

As far as you know???

 

[UK82]

Good game so far. Have to stop Nelson in the 2nd half because he had his way in the 1st. Also, it's amazing to me just how many close in shots Williams misses.

 

[UK82]

Tough loss. I always hate to play a top team coming off a loss so this isn't unexpected. Cats gave up too many easy buckets and offensive rebounds not to mention losing the 50/50 battle. This team is one of the best offensive teams in the country but their defense will lose some games. Still, hard fought and they never gave up.

It hurts me to watch a game like that. This is an older team and I am concerned as to if they can "impose" there will on other opponents or even learn that at this stage. If not at Rupp, not sure it can happen at all.

Just hoping Coach Pope can pull off some magic. Won't use any old terms but if a switch can be turned on defense-wise or an applicable result, who knows...

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good afternoon folks. Tough loss for the Cats.

I had a bad feeling about this one after Alabama dropped the home game to Ole Miss.

SEC this year will break a lot of teams. I trust Pope to keep these guys strong and focused.

 

[warrior-cat]

Donald not bad. Tastes great over the holidays.

Would not want to become Daffy because of it.

Yep, defense needs to be ramped up.

I can only speak of my stateside antics while in the service, I cannot imagine the areas you and others served. My big deal was Grenada. (Nothing to compare.) I got wasted more than a few times to where I could remember eating but not what I ate which is why I stated what I stated. (As far as you know...)

Yeah, but Alabama is an older team too, with Nelson and Sears both 5-year players with multiple years in Alabama’s system and returning from a Final Four run. And they lost their last game AT HOME to Ole Miss.

I’m just not sure it’s realistic in the SEC this year to talk about any team being good enough to “impose their will” on the other top tier teams. You are just going to have to hope to make more plays and have a better shooting night than the better teams in the league.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 28°F, clear and chilly. Wind from the north. Today's high may reach 42°F.

Disappointing loss. Let's see how Cats respond.

Gonna make biscuits and gravy this morning. Brats for lunch.

Wishing y'all a peaceful Sunday.

 

[storm1507]

Good morning everyone

It's already snowing and sticking on the driveway here in the mountains. It's looking doubtful for in person service today. Thankful for online streaming.

Tough game yesterday. I wonder why we struggle to get 3 point shots off, but our opposition seems to be open quite often. If we shot as many 3's as they did a possible win???? Oh well, still enjoying most of our games. I watched the 2nd half of the TN-Vandy game. Vandy looked good.

Enjoy your Sunday and get ready for some cold weather.

I have never eaten duck.

We have raised ducks for several years. We have French Muscovy. They are a lower fat duck. they don't quack and they are the only duck that doesn't have Mallard in it's background. We make sausages, ground duck and roast one occasionally. my favorite part is the liver. It is the best liver in the world. I normally de-breast them and cut the remainder up for my dogs to eat. We also get several hundred eggs a year from them.

Brother Awf Sir, you and SawneeCat make me sick. You and your Duck livers and him(Sir) and his chicken and fish gizzards... Dang, or...


Darn, darn, darn...

Good morning folks. Waiting for more snow in the east.

My wife and I have been going to an Episcopalian Church in Rockville, Maryland and I noticed a small sign outside this morning that might be of interest to a few on here who I know are into history,

It described how in late June of 1863, when he was supposed to be screening Lee's flank on the way to Pennsylvania and scouting Union troop movements, Jeb Stuart ordered troopers into the church we are attending to arrest some strong union loyalists who were hiding there. It also notes that most of the locals enthusiastically welcomed Stuart. It sounds a bit like a tiny episode that got blown out of proportion, but I googled it and apparently there was some kind of fracas at that church.

Those with an interest in such things know that Stuart did tarry way too long in Rockville, capturing Union army wagons and such, and left Lee in the dark on Yankee troop movements, a major failure.

Whatever happened it adds a bit to the experience to think of that church standing in the path of so much history. Another church right down the way we tried a couple years ago has the grave of F. Scott Fitzgerald in the back. Lots of history in this part of Maryland.

 

[BBUK]

Good morning all,

Only My Darling went to church this morning. We had an 8:30 service due to impending snow....

Me and the BB slept in...

Working around the house today getting ready for tomorrows trashing unless snow puts them off... We shall see. have a great day!

My Vice President at CSX in Baltimore had the corner office and it was shocking when you went in: a large 4x5' painting of Jeb Stuart on his horse with his troop behind him charging into battle.

He was so anti-union (1987-1992) that he got by with having that picture in the corner office on the 18th floor. He would not move to Maryland but lived in Virginia. His last name was Atkins and his family was from Atkins, SC. He was a Vandy Law grad.

What a man. Hell he even promoted me.

Hey good folks of the D-League please help me out with this logic question:

Why with a "home court advantage" **** did Alabama get 34 free throws to Kentucky's 20? They made 13 more points at the line than UK.

HOW? WHY?

**** humor

Bert, I got a conspiracy theory on this, ESPN hates Kentucky, so they throw their anti-Kentucky crap at them to influence the outcome! Heck I just watched a video where they blamed the BBN for Cows and Arkanass failures!!!!
