D-League

Local strawberries are in season and they are juicier and sweeter than I can ever remember. Lots of farms have U-pick um and that is always fun. I love a good, large, juicy and sweet strawberry.

Oh my gosh; "Stark" strawberries were the biggest sweetest strawberries on earth. You see the large berries in stores now but they are not as good as the Stark berries from the Stark, FL area. Plus they were cheap.

Starke, Florida is where Ted Bundy breathed his last breath. I remember the morning he got fried in Old Sparky the local radio DJ's requested everyone turn off all of the lights in their homes to cut down electricity. They wanted plenty of electricity to fry the boy. And they did.
 
Morning. Hope all is well with your souls.

Still bummed about our game. Like Rooster, basketball for me (and family) is 24/7/365. It just is. With the Cats at the top. As a matter of fact the Cats will always be at the top. They just are. No one can change that. Win or lose, regardless of ranking. The Cats and historical fans are the standard. Just are. Wishing the best for our currant team. Be blessed. Hurry up BBM. FCC.
 
I am 12 hours late but good to see you posting again. Life is great. We don't have to worry about Kentucky losing Saturday; however, I wish that I still had to worry.



To my memory I never had a "tennis" shoe that was not a converse high top when I graduated high school. Maybe it was just my area.

I get busy and it affects my posting rate lol. I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch any of the games this weekend.
 
Afternoon D.
Cal's motto this year (maybe it has been in the past also?) was "If we lose, we learn..." He may want to apply that for himself also. Glad he is our Coach but it seems as if he has a hard time sealing the deal. He's been close a lot of times to have only won it once....maybe he's due and he'll win 3 out for 4 soon?
Part of his problem is he's too damn successful!
Enjoyed the bird progrum earlier.
Golf scramble on Saturday....anybody driving through E'ville around 6 pm? North side - just off I 64. I'll probably need a ride home. :)

I would love to see this. Is it only on Netflix.

I think it since it's a Netflix pic it will only be available there until they sell or license it.

I get busy and it affects my posting rate lol. I'm not sure if I'm gonna watch any of the games this weekend.

I'm sure I'm not watching any.
 
It is way down. Fortunately it is spring fed so we have fresh water coming in all of the time. Our rainy season kicks into gear around the first of June which is the start of hurricane season. If we can get about 20 inches in a day or so all will be fine. But it is not at a crisis level yet.

Sawnee, do you ever get any gators in your lake?
 
I played bb in HS and we wore Converse hightops. It was an honor to wear them. I don't think they were on the market then to the general public. Although some time in that period and new tennis shoe came out to the public called US Keds. Wore the Converse only during games. Played 64-70. FCC.

I think the only place we could get them was at a school supplier, and we had high tops and low cuts made of leather. We had a pair for games and one for practice. If we wore the pair for practice out, we got another pair. At the end of the season, we got both pairs to take home.

Ben I have not seen one but one of my neighbors said a few years ago a 9 footer was caught and relocated. They say if there is a body of water in Florida there is a gator nearby. I live in a small populated county with a lot of marshes, springs and rivers that flow into the Gulf. A prime area for gators. Our biggest nuisance are the wild hogs.
 
Went out with Dad today. Hit a piddler mall and a park so he could get outside and smoke a cigar. Bought an induction cooktop, a round cast iron griddle, and a cast iron chicken frying skillet with lid. It's a small dutch oven with a handle. All equipment to be used outside on my cook table.

Got a battery for the lawnmower today and aired up the tires. Mowed the front grass but the back is a no go until I pick up a bunch of sticks and limbs. Didn't realize that last storm knocked so many down.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 66°F. Clear. Heading into the upper 80s later today. We set another record yesterday with a high of 91°F.

Happy Friday.

Texas Longhorns won the men's NIT last night by beating David Lipscomb. May have saved Shaka Smart's job. Wife was happy. I went though TSA security check in Orlando back end of January with Lipscomb BB players. Great kids.

Riding bicycle to bus stop, busing with it into work and then riding to credit union at lunch. Nice day for it. Beautiful rain expected tomorrow.

We'll check back later. Y'all behave.

Lipscomb. A couple of relatives are grads, niece there now on wife's side of family. Great school to attend from what they have told me.

Morning to all. Do all the teams left have juniors and seniors? Just wondering. I must be healing a bit. Back in 92, after what Michael Jordan called the greatest college game ever played, I pulled the shades and didn't come out of the house for 3 days. True story.

But hey, hope everyone survived SHIT (Sure Happy It's Thursday) as today is TGIF. Stronger each day. Love me some kitty Cats. FCC.
 
Good morning D-League

Currently 70°. with clouds and a high expected at 81°. Last night we had heavy rains with thunderstorm and lots of lightning to brighten up the bedroom. We open the doors to a covered lanai during the storms and enjoy. My wife lives for thunder and lightning storms. It is her favorite weather. The man on the radio said our area should see 13 named storms this season, with 5 hurricanes and 3 of them major. Cat 4 and above. It should bring us plenty of needed rain.

The ground should be dry enough to mow the grass this afternoon. Trust those who have been feeling poorly are on their way to complete recovery.
 
The man on the radio said there is a Final Four being played this weekend. I forgot. I will be spending my time in the cool waters of the Gulf of Mexico and will skip the games. It does feel strange not feeling nervous and getting ready for a big game but once the Cats go home, I find something else to do. No TV .

Morning D league!

Coffee!

Waiting on a repair man to look at my ice maker. Third time it's broke. First two times whirlpool covered it. This time they didn't so I found a guy who used to work for whirlpool to look at it.

Carry on!

Hey 2004. if you don't mind send him over here after you are done. My bottom tray just suddenly stopped. Thanks, FCC.
 
Happy Friday D-League. The 2020 season felt like it got off to a running start yesterday with Nate Sestina coming aboard and Keion Brooks showing much more physicality and skill than I expected in the high school championship tournament. He looks like part of the answer in replacing PJ and KJ.

Rainy day here so far. Hoping for some sunshine this weekend. Washington can be a spectacularly beautiful city when all teh cherry and Magnolia and apple trees are blossoming, and this weekend could be about the peak. My wife is in Atlanta visiting a friend so I planned just to drift around for hours and see where I ended up, roaming through the neighborhoods where I lived as a 20-something.
 
Howzit going D-League!!

It's a cloudy, foggy, wet, 54 degrees here in Hamilton Co, TN, headed for 76 and mostly cloudy later on. The rains overnight have left things wet, but at least the pollen is washed away for a day or two.

-Like Sawnee Cat said, I also won't be watching the final 4; I'm even having trouble remembering who is playing. For sports, I've moved on to baseball and the Braves.

-This weekend, I'm going to clean and brighten up my lanai with some nice plants. Can I call it a lanai here in TN?

-Speaking of plants, I'm also going to refresh the dirt for my tomato, bell pepper, and herbs (cilantro, lemon balm, peppermint, and basil).

You all have a nice day, keep the stress levels low, and enjoy it.
