Speaking of, how much of a bastard is putting together a grill?
Depends on type of grill. See tons preassembled at Lowes, etc. everyday. No brainer if you have a truck or trailer to load it in. Put my Traeger together and was a PITA mainly because it weighs a ton.

YouTube is the greatest invention for those who want to repair broken ish on their own. Recently repaired our fridge with a simple $150 new part fix that pre YouTube I would have spent a fortune either having someone come out and fix, drive myself insane trying to figure out or just buying a new appliance.

So very true. The most surprising thing to me has been how simple most machines really are (dryers especially). If you have free time and just like to tinker around with stuff, it’s pretty enjoyable.

I can disassemble and put a clock/watch back together but I turn into a barely functioning human when it comes to reading an instruction manual. I get the job done but it takes 5 times longer than it should because I’m constantly looking for a screw I’ve dropped, the drill bit I need is missing or I’ve put a part (or three) on backwards. I just really hate paying someone to do a job I should be able to do myself, excluding electricity. I’m afraid of that.

If I can't put it together by looking at the picture, I may be in trouble.

I have ADHD when it comes to instruction manuals.

Late, but re the Miami Ohio game in 2009. Standing in line at the beer stand at Paul Brown is the first time and place I had a connection with Gyero. Somehow struck up a convo with the guy in front of me about the catpaw. He asked if I frequented Gyero, which I did not. He recommended I check it out. The next Monday once in the office I did, and have been a daily reader since (tho I think it took around 7 more years to post).

Have no idea who I spoke with in that beer line, was browning out as a result of morning car bombs. Could have been any of you, or some lurker *******. Who knows. After I left the game I ended up passing out on the curb outside Newport Pizza. Woke up to a police officer kicking me in the ribs and commanding me to get up. Only reason I didn’t go to the big house is my dads cousin is a local police chief. He looked at my license and just laughed, “oh you’re one of them.” That connection has served me well on a few occasions, over the years, in the local area.

Some of you losers *really* sucked at being single and smashing tons of hoes.
🙋🏼‍♂️
Still slaying at 40 over here. Given I’ve tried very hard to not look like I’m 40. The fball team came up with as a group 28 and I laughed my *** off and said thanks fellas. Also, been hanging with my local barkeep who’s 22… 😬.

I think significant others are like growing up somewhere, a lot of people just get comfortable with someone or somewhere and whether they’re miserable or not they just stay because it’s what they know. Nothing wrong with that at all, just not for me…yet. Maybe one day.

Not to pile on the trip down memory lane, but apparently the cop went into the pizza parlor and asked if anybody inside was able to claim me. According to my sister in law, my wife waved him off and said that she’d rather not have to deal with me for the rest of the night. Fortunately, my kind sister in law walked outside and dealt with the situation. My she-devil wife, who also has no recollection of the matter, was going to leave me to just rot on the side of the road.

I woke up on the floor of anth/sloot's hotel room iirc.
That day is one big haze.

I recall meeting the crew in the parking lot of Paul Brown, slamming a bunch of shots because 2009 self thought that was smart, then waking up at the foot of Anth and Sloots bed.

On my way to the pisser I looked down and thought, "Oh, yeah, I know that guy from X, think he was in my brothers class?" Then puked in the shower 🤕

Good times.

This sounds as if my wife would do this.

Aw, F it I don’t want to deal with him, take him to jail and let him figure it out tomorrow……thank you officer!

Im renting a limo to Dr Boats event in December to avoid this exact scenario!

Not my home county, I grew up a county over on the beautiful banks of Lake Cumberland.

Still not a place I would recommend a 40 year old single guy to spend his Winter after moving from Key West though.

Eh. It isn't like he's getting anyone pregnant any time soon. Let the dude slay.

Jeepers -- the "I'm over here slaying in Adair County!" take is one of the ages. The bonus is that I'm reasonably positive that every woman in Adair County could whip rogue's *** and mock his faggy quads.

* Adair County is a trip. My dad grew up in Roley, Kentucky on the Adair / Casey line. It no longer exists. I have a second cousin who burned down a lot of buildings and cut his pinkie off with a circular saw for insurance money. He also got into pimping for a while and brought a prostitute to my great-grandmother's hospital room when she was passing.

What a weird place. The people are tougher than ****. I woudn't fight a single one of them. Some people play for keeps.

* I have no clue if my second cousin still partakes in pandering but he's probably the only person I know with a reliable line of poon in Columbia, KY.

My family is from Adair County, so I say this with love, but slaying what?
This is a FACT.

The options here are SLIM to absolutely NADA. But you nailed it, the barkeep has one kid she got while attempting to go to WKU but still looks great because she was 19 or 20 when she had her. Not sure how EVERYONE in the county could be obese but they've pulled it off like there was some challenge or something for money.

The only options really here are the students and that could get me fired but I'd still have a go if the opportunity arose, I'm making but a 1/3 of what I did in KW anyway, so whatever, I'm here for the rezzy building.

The crazy part about my salary is it's NOTHING but I still make more than the median household income which is mind-blowing. It's basically a mom and dad that one works at Dollar General and the other at a gas station and they spend the majority of money on cigs, weed and bud heavies consuming on the porch while their two teenage children join them and the 3 younger kids who haven't had a bath this week walk barefoot on the gravel and don't even move when a car is coming. It's like every movie stereotype of KY/WV you've ever scene, maybe worse.

And it's not shitting on anyone if that's the truth so I don't feel bad about it.

Also, I travel to other places for the night when we actually get a day off, see you Saturday night Hardin County, so it's not like I don't have some lassies around the commonwealth.

Furthermore, 82% of the guys on here get all hot and bothered when they see a girl in a high strap bikini bottom at the pool like it's been 2 decades since they hooked up with a good looking gal in their 20s... oh wait it has. ;) So I don't want top hear it.

-Besides that, first game this weekend and I'm STOKED! Bout to lay some wood to St. Andrews and will be all wrapped up and ready to drive North by 5p.

-Been all in on Shark Tank lately. Had never watched it before but very interesting. But by 9:30-10 I can barely stay awake to get through a riveting episode of Southern Charm or Below Deck. Thank God football is back this week.

Given everyone was aware from what history has shown us, I honestly hope OKC would have put a clause in the contract if he is stupid enough to play outside of their games it isn’t covered/insured.

He was such a risk already, to do this in a PRO AM game is fitting.

Notes from 10,200 feet.....

- Heading home next weekend after being on the road most of the past year. Starting 10/1, we did 6 months in Denver, 2-3 in New Orleans, and 2-3 in Leadville. Our renters are moving out and we're going back to reality.

- Lass is officially in love with this place, and I'm going to have a tough time convincing her to come back home. Wish I had bradyjames money, because I'd happily buy her about 20 acres with a cute farmhouse, a handful of donkeys, some llamas, goats, another dog, and a high clearance 4wd to get her around. Guess I've gotta keep slangin' insurance until that day comes.

- Speaking of burros, we are 100% doing this next year:

link: Burro Racing

That's out buddy Bob pulling off the big upset in the third leg of the Triple Crown.

- I've been to this town about a dozen times, but this year is different. We got to spend enough time here to actually make some friends, get to know the locals, hang out at the dive bar with all the other townie drunks. You know, fit right in.

- Had this song stuck in my head for 2 weeks:



It's been covered by everyone, but I'll take Larry Redmon's version FTW.

* I was about to remark that Game of Thrones picked right back up where they left off, but I don't remember anyone getting raped in the 1st episode. Kind of disappointing. We'll see what GRRM brings in episode 2.

* The "chip on the shoulder" cliche is so overused and worn out that's it's practically meaningless these days......BUT, the back-and-forth between Stoops and Calipari was a huge boon to the feisty ginger. It basically gave him a platform to talk **** about how blue collar, hard working, tough, and ready to compete in the SEC his team is. Just perfect timing, really.

My old college dorm mate used to say "it's on like a pot of neckbones." Not sure what that even means, but Aaron Perkins was right. This season --> it's on like a pot of mf'ing neckbones.

* Just got an email from Gatton inviting me to the College of Business tailgate for the home opener. I can't make it, but y'all let me know if you want me to put you on the VIP list. Donnelly is bringing the shot ski, and Brad Jordan is officiating the ice luge.

* Really happy 5 whole months into marriage, but if you ever read my posts agonizing about the depressing state of single life, and being lost in the world without a committed relationship, ole girl is looking over my shoulder as I type.

* Book list....

Running With Sherman (Chris McDougall)
Going Clear (Lawrence Wright)
1984 (George Orwell)
The Winter Army (Maurice Isserman)

* Don't forget how amazing Chet was in 1 Summer League game. Go ahead and put him in the Hall of Fame, imho.
