My oldest grandson called last night. Him and his family are going to be in Lexington for Thanksgiving........... He wanted to know if I wanted to go to Friday's game with him................(the last game I saw in person was with him)................... That was a dumb question......I haven't even looked at the schedule to see who they play.................I forget who the Cats played but I remember two things that night...........Patrick Paterson was a beast and hurt his hand in the game..........Perry Stevenson was a very rude person.......literally pushed my grand son out of the way when approached for an autograph.........the boy got every signature on the team......even BG took the time to stop and sign the kid's UK hat.........I guess he was butt hurt because BG didn't play him enough.......he was pushing past everyone.........

Good game for the Cats. They needed one like this. In-state teams usually have extra motivation. Not the most impressive win but they found other ways to score other than relying on the 3s. Should help going forward per couch coach UK82.
Wow, did the D know that Cooper Flagg is 17 years old, I'll be when he turns 18 so I won't have to hear that schiff!
Not the picks I cherish Sir! (But thanks!)
Good morning from Burbach, Germany. Currently 39°F. Nearly 4:55 am local time,
Visited with relatives yesterday. Plan on cleaning up later and will pay "Tante Doris" (aunt Doris) a visit in nearby Dillenburg hospital later this morning.
Full day ahead. Must prep banana pudding and dressing later today. May nap in a few.
Glad Cats won last night.
Pictures on the way soon. Y'all behave.

One of these days I will have time to come back full time........The Director is trying to get all the mileage she can out of the old mule........She wanted the pool gone, the deck reconfigured with additional ground level pavers.......and a nice Koi pond where the 18' x 33' pool was..........the deck was ate up from the chlorine.....I want a lifetime deck......I used 5/4" wood the first go around with 2 x 12 joist on 16" centers.........now she want Trek decking and it has to be on 12" centers......so basically rebuilding the whole deck......there is a post in the middle of roof over one 10' x 20' section......she wants the center post removed.........She also added that when I got her Koi pond finished I would have room to build an additional 14' on my pigeon loft........if I can live that long.....
Good morning everyone.
Whew, tough game to watch last night. I had just told my wife that the game shouldn't go too long since we don't foul much and play a style that we don't draw many fouls either. Not as fun for us to watch, but we need these type games. I really didn't expect it from Western. They are going to be a good team.
Leaf blowing on tap for today. They just keep coming. lol That is one thing bad about living high on the hill ( but a whole lotta mountain above us) that I haven't figured out a better system. 2 weedeaters and a wife willing to help is the best I got.
We're going to my parents tomorrow for Thanksgiving. There should be about 45 there in the not small but cluttered house. They've been in the same house now for nearly 50 years. Get there early to get a seat.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning folks.
Good win for Cats. A tough game to watch and not an efficient performance. The kind of game we’ve seen talented freshmen allow to slip away in recent years. But last night the Cats didn’t panic and stayed focused.
My favorite part of the game was Coach Pope’s postgame interview. I came away from that assured good results would come from a ragged performance.
Long work day ahead, then T-Day! I hope you all are settling into a terrific holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving - early.
Today installed toilet grab bar since have knee replaced in two weeks. Simple, right? Well, ends needed to be screwed into stud for strength. Makes sense. So the first 36" bar wouldn't work w/o angling significantly which I didn't want. So returned for 32" one - 16" distance between studs, right? Well, turns out the ones available are like 31-31.5" apart. And each end's plate with pre-cut holes needs 3 heavy screws at somewhat different distances apart.
Finally figured I need to angle the outside screws towards the middle. Even though I drilled pilot holes as instructed, managed to strip the heads of two Phillips' going in. Backed one out. The other head was too stripped to budge. So I had to cut the head off with a hack blade held in hands. PITA. Had to make trip to HD to get replacement screws.
Anyway, 2.5 hrs later it's done - except for minor drywall repairs where I drilled holes in unacceptable widths.

Self-Proclaimed. I think it was the hiring of "The Pope" in basketball that gave me the delusion of sainthood. Since he is a Pope, it only stands to reason if I support him, it makes me a saint. I could be wrong but...

Ragged but well coached. Threes not falling so he (The Pope) adjusted and worked the paint. It is refreshing to see adjustments being made in real time instead of the "tweak" to come following disappointing losses.
I don't think people really appreciated just how funny Redd Foxx was. That guy was one of the greats.
George and Ron.. (May have posted this before but DARN some serious punching...)
Pete roasting The Ryan Express...
Apologies but some good ones coming out... Vince, Alison, and Ricky... Just seriously good music...
I added this one of Nipsey Russell roasting Hank Aaron..... Just enjoyable...
Added Ali Foreman...

I used to love listening to Mike Shannon. Mike was associated with the Cardinals either as a player or announcer for 64 years. He is the only person in Missouri high school ball history to win state player of the year in both basketball and football in the same year, yet he played MLB. He was especially entertaining after he had a few beers. He knew everybody so he had loads of stories. He was full of Yogi Berra type stories.
Don't they call that transfer by association.......
Some might, but I call it BS by proclamation (FALSE).
Close.WRONG (Pulled out my best imitation of wc. Mimicking is a form of flattery right?)
When I sat down and opened up my computer it popped up a picture of me from back in the day (it does that sometimes).
This picture is around October 1976 Ft. Sill OK 321st FA OSUT (One Station Unit Training) same unit for both Basic and AIT. Those were the guys I used to hang out with. The guy just above me (Aponte) was the only person to ever beat me in the 2-mile run during the PT test my whole career in the Army. Happened only once. I never let it happen again.

Talk about running for your life. A buddy of mine and I used to hit the pavions down on the waterfront in Izmir Turkey. A pavion was a night club where girls hustled guys (a lot of the guys were lonely gi's) for drinks. We were walking back to the bus stop. If we missed the bus, it was two hours till the next one. We are walking along and I noticed my buddy wasn't there. I looked around and he is a half block behind and urinating on a car window. Next thing I know, there are twenty or more highly irritated Turks chasing us. I was in great shape, so I easily stayed way ahead of the group. My buddy was strong as horse, but not a runner. I got to the bus stop just as the driver was pulling away and got him to stop and wait on my buddy. I can still picture him rushing to the back of the bus and giving the crowd a one finger salute as they faded into the background.When I sat down and opened up my computer it popped up a picture of me from back in the day (it does that sometimes).

I knew the correct word but can't in all good conscience swipe a man's moniker/ trademark...
Happy Thanksgiving to the D crew, stay safe and eat all ya want!
