Oh, the memories. Yukon Stove. Burned MOGAS or Diesel if I'm not mistaken. Was once near a soldier who suffered an epileptic seizure and kicked lit stove over out at Graf. Thank heavens we placed fire extinguishers nearby or burned down tent. SOP back then.

Set up by Bad Hersfeld near East-West German border one winter . Heh, I listened to my SW radio lots during down time when not patrolling. Stove kept everybody warm as temps hit zero. Ha ha, built a bobsled run. Dude broke his leg sliding downhill about 60 MPH.

Only in the Army, I tell you.

I loved the sound of the Yukon stove when it was humming. Alaska was the only place I have ever been where you lay the howitzer after setting up your tent and stove. Normally, the first thing you do is lay the howitzer for the direction of fire first. But, in the winter, it was so cold that we had to set up the tents and fire up the Yukon stove so that if anyone felt early signs of frostbite coming on, they would go to the tent to warm up and then come back out and help finish emplacing (lay) the howitzer.

I got frostbite 3x over there. All while running ranges.

Good morning everyone

Game Day! I think this game is important. We need some energy/effort back and if we don't see it this game I believe it's over for the year. I predict we'll see it. Oh, saw where Pope took the seniors out to eat, but Kerr was not with them. So, red shirt this year and back next? I think so after that pic. I really think this team missed his energy and effort after he went out. He may have been a more important piece than we give him credit.

Long day yesterday driving, working at the lake, driving back. Not much on tap today except wife has some plans. I've been so busy I'm not sure what they are....going to town to get little projects done. Then I'll watch the game while she has a bible study meeting.

Enjoy your day.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 68°F and cloudy. Winds kicking up. Severe fire risk. Possibility for thunderstorms.

Dell fixed my laptop. Too awesome.

Chemo today.

Wishing y'all another good one.

I absolutely love pound cake.

Ok, D, is there any way to watch the Senior night festivities? They don't ever show the whole thing anymore!

Go Big Blue!!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 54°F and clear. We lost power for 3 hours yesterday. Dust storm knocked out lots of powerlines.

Leaving in 45 minutes for hospital. Wife needs a procedure.

Happy Hump Day, y'all.

Good morning folks.

Nice early March win for the Cats. LSU is not a great team by SEC standards, but they are probably as athletic and big and talented as some teams Kentucky might face in the first couple rounds of the tournament, so steamrolling them is a hopeful sign.

Warming up fast in the east. Heading into work. I hope everyone has a good day.

Fun game. It helped to partially take my mind off the chills, wet cough, sore throat, aching, etc. from the flu. Missouri coming up. May have to play them twice in 5 days. Hopefully a win will keep the Cats out of Auburn's bracket.

The Cats had fun last night and so did I.

Plus Auburn went down big and Mississippi State lost to Texas.

I dread going to Missouri. They can really be hard to beat at home.

Not to my knowledge.

Back in the Joe B. Hall era the NCAA outlawed UK showing the Senior night festivities because it was an unfair recruiting tool. Before the advent of the SEC Network we could see then on the UK network but it is gone.

They were pissed off the UK did it better than Duke, Indiana or UNC!

Senior Night 2025

I was talking about it being live.

Remember those days. Guess this might be the only way to watch Senior Night now.

The thing I hate about Auburn losing is, guess who will be #1 in the polls, ESPN has drooled all year for this day! Duke will always be #1 in the toilet for UK fans!!!

To get a higher seed & away from AU, need to win & have A&M or MSSt to lose. Both at home, but MSSt has tougher game against AR.
