Morning Legionnaires!

20° right now with a high of about 36° expected. Still have the ice on the ground that came in Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Have not had above freezing temps until today. Solid hard slick surface outside still. Nothing has melted since that night. Roads were salted Wednesday afternoon so, wife went to work Thursday and Friday.

GAME DAY!

I guess I should do a multiple post of the 4449 when it rolls around. I've been blessed to see it 5 times. Only once was it stationary. The whistle is just unforgettable.
I've yet to see it roll but it's a bucket list Item. Fortunately I got to see the Big Boy run through Arkansas, MO & IL last summer so I got to check that one off the list.

Here's a photo I grabbed of that chase.

@Bert Higginbotha , great to talk to you and just following up to make it official. I am all and well. Everything on my body is working as designed including my plumbing which is very important when you reach my age.

I just got back from our annual "Cracker Supper" that is held in Largo, Fl and put on by the Largo Historical Society. This is our 47th year.

Here is a little bit about it and some history. My grandpa traded at this feed store and it is now preserved and in a park downtown. My g-grandma was born in Largo, FL in 1853 and her grandfather was the first white man buried in Pinellas County, FL which has about 1 million residents today. They raised cotton and cattle.

Take care my friend and prayers for all of the D League.
 
Just amazes how so many teams are slapping away as a way to play the game. Ar-Kansas is not as physically hitting people but they are making tons of contact that is going un-called.

Was going to ask, as I missed the entire game. Thanks for posting this.

I expected it to be that way this game. Really hate the SEC lets this crap go on in league play. They're hurting the league in doing so

I was wondering where you were but the plumbing report is more than I wanted to know.
 
36.0°F here on our way to 52°. It is not supposed to rain. I guess that I will have some grass growing this week.

The Cats just could not get over the hump yesterday. I predicted a loss at Ark and a loss at Florida. Wheeler and Washington were rusty. That loss will probably drop the Cats a line, but I don't see much difference other than you are going to get a good team one game earlier.

I cooked ribeyes after the game. I had not done a steak in over a month. Dang ribeye steak is goooood.

Good to see Sawnee back on board. I was worried and called him.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 38°F and cloudy. Little bit breezy. Clearing later for a high of 62°F.

Cats competed hard yesterday. Grady could not get open. We played Hogs close and nearly pulled it off. UK has a great team this year. Two more regular season games remain: Ole Miss and at Gators.

Taking a walk later and chores. Usual Sunday.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

I really like the quote at the bottom of your post by "David Sergent" So very true and unfortunately many Americans would love to erase it. Not this boy.

I really admire Ukraine and their resistance against Putin. They are willing to fight for their nation. I hope our nation would do the same if we were invaded but sometimes I have my doubts most would. We don't even demand a secure Southern border.

This basketball season has revealed a very strong SEC. Much stronger than I imagined. The SEC has always been a tough league and under rated, in my IMO, but this year may be different. I would like to see at least four SEC teams in the Sweet Sixteen. It could happen.

I can taste that ribeye. My favorite cut of beef. You know how to eat Bert
 
Good morning folks.

Tough loss yesterday. To me, the best way to look at it is that the Cats were going to have a game or two playing out of sync, and especially getting mediocre performances from TyTy and Wheeler, when both guards returned at the same time. It would have been fantastic to win but unsurprising to lose a close game.

I prefer to look at the bright side - virtually every other potential #1 seed lost, so the Cats’ post-season prospects weren’t hurt much.

Beautiful day here. Cold and clear. I hope you all are doing well.
 


Morning Legionnaires!

A cool 25° at wake-up time and a high of 56° on tap. Should get rid of most of the ice still on the ground today.

March madness right around the corner and I think that it is really going to get crazy this year. My only real hope outside of UK winning it all is that somehow Duke gets ousted early because if they make it to the FF I think it would be hard for anyone to beat them because there would be a push for K to go out on top. Think of the sports talk shows having a field day of feel-good stories as much as they slurp on him now.

Well, did not mean to ruin your mornings with a horror story so let's get back to having a good day.

That area of FL was tough to get to in the 1850's I believe. No roads, just by boat/ship. Maybe horse & wagon.

I think that was the state of affairs in most areas of the U.S. My dad, born in 1902, said that when he was a kid it was hard to find a paved road in my part of Kentucky and that was 140 years after settlement. People used horses. The beauty of Kentucky was the extensive river system all over the state.
 
There is a thread on the Paddock about Scientology. Scientology pretends to be a church but it is a cult to make money. I posted a comment from a personal experience I had when I lived in Clearwater back in the 70s. They decided to make it their world headquarters and completely take over the town. They succeeded and now own the down town area, control the school board, control the city council, judges and police department. They run the whole show and the result is their beautiful downtown is dead. The other residents of the town stay away.

I moved away but always had in mind to retire there someday. When I visited I realized that was impossible due to their influence and control of the city.

Below is a website explaining their control and influence. It is a "Master Plan" on how to ruin a city.

HBO did a good document on it. Sick. When HBO as liberal as they are goes after Scientology you know it has to be bad.

Good afternoon,

I have a fridge full of those. (Three boxes anyway) Usually the BB's to partake but I will have one too since it's that day.

All have a "berry" good day!

Glad to see you post. I truly miss your devotionals. Not that I might need one, speaking for a friend.

I recall visiting the Edison estate in Ft. Myers that was built in 1880s. Said the only way to get to FM then was by ship. Seemed strange.
 
Dang.... take a listen to this....(If you've a mind to...) Caught me off guard while I was scrolling down the Facebook page... (A seriously new twist with Willie's son singing the lead..)
