THE NEW D-LEAGUE

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning folks. Happy Saturday. Cool and clear in the east.

struggle for the Cats last night. Some good signs -- no turnovers by the three guards, McBride showed a nice shot. But I'm worried that JMU -- far from the most athletic team on the schedule -- figured out how to shut down Milan. Pope better figure that out fast. Not sure he is creative enough to do that.

Huge day for the football team. Go Cats. I really feel a win today wipes out five decades ranging from total ineptness to occasional moments of "good for Kentucky." Maybe the biggest game since the 1970s.

Something happened yesterday that hit me hard inside, just really hard to explain! A few years ago I made a GOLD STAR for a family in Owensboro, it was an experience that really took a toll on my emotions! There was times that I just had to put down and walk away from it, it took me a while to finish it. When I delivered it to them, there wasn't a dry eye in the room! To watch a Mother hold it against her heart, words can't describe! The thank you was so real as much as anything I have ever felt! That's what makes what I do so awesome!!! That gets me to yesterday, we walk into Texas Roadhouse, set down, Mrs. M leans over and says, look on the wall! There was his picture hanging there, it just did something to me! I think just knowing I made something in Honor of HIM and being Military myself just caused it. Just crazy emotions!

Case in point Sir. I'd put you up against any today. You will bask Sir. You will bask. God Bless you!!! I look at mine nearly every day and think of you.


Hello All.

The BB got here at 6 and was not ready to sleep. that's okay. He's a good boy and I am thankful...

His final soccer game is later today and he has a party to go to afterward... Busy busy, I hope you all are as equally engaged. You are blessed if you are...

Go Cats!!

Just WoW…… No chance. I never look through these glasses in an accusing fashion but just WoW.

Cats lost. Bah! Neyland Stadium is a difficult place for visiting teams. Wait until next season.

JMU gave our Cats a game. Yikes!

They did give the Cats a game, but I think the Cats responded well to the pressure. I also felt that Pope was using this fame to get some in game experience for some of the players and that will pay off down the road. JMU came in with a plan and they stuck to it. Tuesday will give us a better gage of where the Cats are. Go Big Blue! I hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning D, well our show went good yesterday, we went a little bit over our goal, so we are happy. I think there were so many vendors there that people just had to pick where to put their money. One thing is that we had a pre-order for 5 Cardinals, which will add to our total, so GOD is good and life is good!! Cats took it on the chin last, but I am thrilled at where we are, nobody thought we would be 7-2 now!

I’ve heard people say, “Tomorrow is another day.”, but it sure as hell doesn’t feel like it today. Enjoy.

Good morning folks. Hugely disappointing night. The Cats just didn't seem to be sharp and focused.

But the sun came up and it is yet another beautiful fall day in the east. I was up well before dawn for a long hike. Venus rose so bright in the east I was positive it was an aircraft moving in my direction for several minutes. I finally took a compass reading and checked the path of Venus and it was dead on.

I hope you all have a great day.

Thank you for the kind words! One lady last told me I'm just a hobbiest! Then I was talking to a lady one day and told her what she said and the lady stopped me right there and said, has your work ever made anybody cry? I said yes, she told me, don't you ever believe that you are just a hobbiest, you are an artist!!!!

I was exchanging war stories with a guy the other day and remembered this one. It was during the cold war with Russia. We had several bases in Turkey (which bordered part of Russia). On my base we had F-100's. Four were in hangars loaded with nukes. We also had a backup area where the number of planes varied. They flew in and out between bases to confuse Russia about location I guess. They might be 0 to 50 to 100 at any given time. They could be loaded with nukes and in the air within two hours.

The four were kept in a very high security area and could be in the air headed to Russia within 2 minutes. Pilots and crew lived a few yards away when on call. No one man was allowed inside the hangar by himself, not even the pilot. One day a guard decided to pee on a bomb. He got caught. It cost him a bad conduct discharge and jail time. In the middle of the night, they had to call out a large crew to prepare another plane and load it with nukes.

I guess for the rest of his life, the guy got to brag about having taken a leak on an atomic bomb though.

Morning D-Legionnaires!

Watching the Bengals play the Falcons in Madrid this morning. Bengals offense playing well but the defense is keeping the Falcons in the game as the score is 24-17 Bengals.

I have 2 co-ed softball games this afternoon. Should be the last 2 of the fall season. We are currently sitting in first place, but one of the teams we play today is second with 1 loss behind us. Still feeling a little soreness in the left leg hamstring but manageable.

Cats, meh, regroup and win the next 3 and we still have a shot at the playoffs.

Enjoy the rest of your day folks and God Bless.

A nuke at our site somehow fell off the maintenance stand. I swear, choppers appeared overhead within 20 minutes and we were a remote site! Also tight security. 2-person rule at all times, but always more armed personnel on-premise.
