*If you are betting a large sum of money, who makes you more nervous as an opponent? My answer is still Jordan although a recognize the counting numbers just by sure longevity will favor LB.

*My daughter is contemplating a transfer of schools because she has become good friends with a group from our other HS. They are good kids so I'm fine with it. Neither HS is at capacity (really we should just have one at this point) so she is free to do so but must consider the fact that she has to sit out a year in golf. With what's going on at the NCAA level isn't is time to get rid of this rule KSHAA? Gawd forbid my daughter get to enjoy her sophomore year of girls golf because she wants to "attend" school with her friends. Would cause anarchy!

*Still can't get my boy interested in sports but he is completely obsessed with fishing...watches fishing videos, shows, is full of new facts about fishing to lay on me every day I come home from work. Worse things, I suppose.

*Chase and I got handicap whipped at his member/guest. That truly is a format in which CPG can come in useful. Although, a lack of understanding of the rules for the front nine and some really crappy play has to be laid at our own feet.

*I'm at a loss for those who believe that what we've seen from this pandemic is acceptable governance. But whatever, I have a job to do and kids to raise. I'll take my orders.

*I won't say I haven't daydreamed about doing something like jcrow is doing. Who am I kidding, the closest I'll get is the occasional all guys golf, hunting or fishing trip complete with full notice and approval of my better half and a payback girls weekend for her in the future.

*Who knows about this football team, man. I'll be honest, I thought we were past some of the dumb **** we saw the last two weekends. Guess I'll just be thankful we have it to watch. Does the state of emergency order give ANDY the power to change our unis? I'll tune in at 4 for the power K, promise!

-Looked up our boy Stoops. Dude plays at a 13.7, which isn't incredible by any stretch but indicates the individual clearly has plenty of time to work at and be a decent golfer, which isn't that easy for busy professionals/parents/etc.

Would be interesting to see if he has toned down his course antics to get to a 13.7. Hard to imagine being focused on the next shot as you are getting escorted off the links.

DeSantis to all sports teams in Florida...you are free to open to full capacity if you wish.

-Snakes never really bothered me much. I'm not going to go grabbing one but I've fine with a respectable distance. I run across them out at the shop pretty often. Eased up on my arch-nemesis, the common spider, a little bit as well.

-Was a responsible young man yesterday and crashed early only to be woken up at 1a with an alarm service call at our NKY branch. Of course none of the guys up there are answering and our really expensive cameras aren't responding. So sleep from that point on was useless.

-I'm good on watching the VP debate. Thanks.

-Was a bit surreal seeing Kayne on the absentee ballot.

-The BOSS is back. K. Get f*cking pumped, dude. Stick to your daily shaming of the people actually following your rules.

-Feel like JCrow needs to take a deep breathe and focus on the bigger picture of his walkabout. Seems like he may have done that last night with the flight to Denver. Don't want to waste too much time wandering around the deep central US on your big adventure.

-Not a full blow Jerry McGuire moment for me but I have found myself browsing for **something** to occupy my interests. Not really a boat guy. Maybe an older car/truck although I have nowhere to store it. Last week was thinking a small piece of land with a farm house and pond/creek would be a good idea. It's not. A bit allover the place with the big lifestyle change incoming AND 4-0 staring me down.

Settled for a new pair of running shoes and a meat mixer for making sausage.

-This nonsense has relaxed dress codes everywhere and I'm really having a hard time getting back. I'm still in office everyday but I rarely see more than 1 or 2 other employees. I've made it through several days in the office without even changing from my workout clothes. 😨 Anyway, Mott & Bow has helped with that a bit. Couple khaki mercer pants are accomplishing the comfortable but still somewhat professional appearance I need.

  • Not a fan of getting outlook invites of people going on vacation. Just shoot me an email, pal. I don't need to see on my calendar that you're in Myrtle Beach for the week.
  • Team "Peak" in the the old peak performance vs longevity debate. Applies less to LeBron because his peak is up there as the best of all-time AND he's got the longevity, but for the fringe cases it's not a debate in my opinion. Give me 8 great years as opposed to 15 above average. Yes, that means I would rather have Albert Belle than Harold Baines.
  • Haven't taken a week off in 2020; may just pull a Crow 🙌 in December (minus the telling my co-workers to F off).
  • Only took 7 months, but I finally have the home office setup where I want it. Docking station, big monitor, proper camera angle, a mic that works, etc. Was running purely off the laptop since we started.
  • Taking a year off on UK football. I'll watch the games, but I'm not going to flip out or get too emotionally invested (minus "The Shining" moment I had when TDT threw the pic on the Auburn goal line). I'm going to chalk this up to an odd year and give Stoops credit for what was the best two years I can remember in UK football history.
  • That said, I'm nervous about basketball. UK basketball was my favorite thing from the time I was 8 until around 2018. Now it's just not the same. With this entirely new team and COVID, I'm worried this will be a terrible year for college basketball.

-Back in the office today. Got an email blast this morning telling us the executive assistant for our Division VP, who I’ve been working with regularly, has been in the office the last two weeks AFTER testing positive because her boss deemed her too essential. All hell is breaking loose.

-My former company announced a couple of days ago that their shutting gown the corporate offices in St Louis and moving everyone to permanent work from home. The new normal. Doubt HCA does it because we’re in a brand new, state of the art building that the city gave tremendous tax breaks to to move here from Williamson County.

-I don’t give a **** about Stoops’ golf game or maybe if he had one too many collides and was told to leave the course. TMFS

-Jordan was the first black athlete that Madison Avenue felt was “safe” enough to market to America. Even Magic wasn’t considered that (and he’s bitched about it in the past considering he helped save the NBA along with Bird) and David Stern was one of the architects of building the Jordan marketing juggernaut.

-I’m a Kobe guy so I don’t really care for the Jordan vs Lebron debate. I don’t think you can go wrong building a team around either one. Everything else is semantics really and probably a “you had to have seen them play in their prime” kind of deal.

-Already feel the redass brewing about Saturday. Have zero faith in the Football Cats right now.

* I won lottery pick #10 in the big bourbon raffle last night. I have to wait until the 9 ahead of me make their picks to see what I win.

There were over 2200 entries. $23,270 went to my buddy's widow and 2 kids. Pretty awesome.

* My cats killed one of those ringneck snakes in my basement once. I guess it came in wherever those touching chipmunks came in.

* I don't think the election is going to be close*. IMO, the only question is if Biden will get over 350 electoral votes or not.

Disclaimer - There is still plenty of time for something major to happen to completely swing things.

* Trump is actually running a "I saved the Big Ten Football Season" ad up here. That is literally what the entire :30 ad is about. Sad.

* I had some fried okra yesterday. It was excellent. When it is done properly it is fantastic. When it is done poorly, it is terrible. Not much middle ground with fried okra. No sir.

* Please continue the rain dances for Saturday night. Piglet's secondary needs it.

* LeBron is fantastic and would've dominated in any era. That being said, I'm taking MJ if you make me choose.

* Congrats to me for successfully pulling off the back massage trojan horse leading to fantastic sex this morning. I even completed the Caddyshack Ty Webb/Lacey Underall "oops the baby oil lid came off" maneuver without a hitch. I love working from home twice a week.

* I am infinitely more desirable now that I am the proud owner and user of the BakBlade®. Keeps my sasquatchness down to a minimum. Probably only one cut that should've required stitches, too.

* Speaking of being desirable, I might start working out again tomorrow. I'm at an all-time high on the fatassflabometer. Pretty embarrassing, actually. Maybe I shouldn't deep fry my veggies?

* Alright, back to work with the lot of you miserable ********. Have a great Thursday.

Anth, restore an older car. I’ve got an 88 Grand Wagoneer that I have been needing to sink some money into.

A Mercedes 450SL from the 80’s would be a good look for you.

Could restore my 1983 Monte Carlo. Engine is probably in rough shape and I'd image the hydraulics are shot. 😁

In other news I'm apparently not allowed to have my old job any more. Checked in on that just in case today.


Where ever you adventure takes you, if you happen to end up in a remote Alaskan wilderness in a janky, run down school bus, be very careful. Some wild berries can and actually do kill you. But definitely keep a journal to live to tell about it all. Have fun, be safe.

My dream car is a 1972 Buick Skylark GS Convertible. They go for about 80-90 thousand fully restored. My Great Grandad had a non convertible one and one of my fondest memories of my childhood was rolling along down to the Minnow Hatchery in the front seat for an RC Cola and a cherry pie.

- Liquor Barn was a homerun! Picked 3 Toasted Wheats(and they just bought Dep’s) and 1 Toasted Rye which was unexpected but a pleasant surprise since I produced enough for Ky and TN, but haven’t got the TN distribution channel locked in yet.

krazy, went to send you a PM about Down Home and I'm a dumb and can't figure out how to do it. Trying to decide on the 5.5 year or the toasted as a gift for someone. His all time favorite is Woodford, so tbh he's kind of a bourbon simpleton and so am I, but he loves trying new stuff so I need your rec.

That MB isn't my style at all. Looks great, but I'm more muscle car if I'm going back. Mid-Aughts DB9, now that would pique my interest.

Defender 90
Landcruiser

Some sort of 80/90s SUV is cool with me.


Probably at the top of my theoretical wish list. On that note, was happy houring with a buddy last night who owns a high end used car dealership. He’s pretty much owned every single crazy badass rare/expensive luxury suv imaginable. Most recently sold off his 4-door Defender for $110k. Said it was gone in less than 30 minutes.

The song says it is suppose to be a RC Cola and a Moonpie.

Currently restoring a 1963 Ford Fairlane.

First car was an '85 GMC Jimmy (Blazer), 4x4 five speed. Had it fully restored with a UK blue body, grey trim and black tinted windows that surely wouldn't pass the legality test these days. The 4 Zeppelin symbols stenciled across the rear glass was just the right rebellious touch for a 16 year old.

Paid 3k for it and never had an issue. Would love to go back in time and slap my younger self for selling that beauty.

My uncle drove this car off the lot on late 1968, and my dad took over payments and ownership a few months later when my uncle went on an all-expenses paid tour of Southeast Asia via the Corps.

1969 Plymouth Satellite, big block, 4 brl, 4 sp, rally package, bucket seats, posi-trac, with some sly internal mods to boost the hp while keeping the stock look.

We spent about a decade doing a full off restore. Thing is badass in every way.

My first car was a metallic green 1972 Cutlass F85 Rocket. Paid $300 for it, annual insurance was $500. Car would scoot, had it over 140 mph on BG pkwy one night, scared me nearly to death. Sold it for $2k when I bought my truck.
