THE NEW D-LEAGUE

[BBUK]

I have two co-ed softball games late this afternoon so, I get to watch the Bengals lose to Miami (reverse jinx). Although, I might not play as I strained a quad in my left leg 2 days before last Sundays games and only played our first game before deciding not to play the second one. Leg muscle is still a little sore so it will be a game time decision. I asked them to get another pitcher for this weekend and if they did, I will sit these games out as well.

Back up to the low 90's for the next few days too.

Would ya listen to this guy........................ Holding out for more?????????? What?????? Uh, er, mon_ _.......... Okay, hope you get to feeling better soon.... Need a team mate to whump that arse... But, uh, he be a fool if he tried.....

MAN I am glad I live far away! (I'd probably be already more disabled than I am if lucky to be still breathing as well just egging you on... )

Hello All,

Got back from church a few minutes ago. We searched a lot of churches when we moved to this area of Virginia. Started attending this church before covid and I think it was the last or next to last Sunday for a pastor that had been there something like 30 years. Had a guy from Louisiana (Brad) for over a couple years and now have had this Pastor Josh for over a couple years. He is well into God's word versus appeasing the masses and I am thankful... (Not judging at all but calling it as I see it. A lot of churches in this area do appease the masses to, it seems, keep the dough flowing.)

I never have been a big church kind of guy but this three service church is about the largest around. The congregation should be very thankful.....

When we started at this church we had about an eight mile drive. Now it is a 1500 feet commute nearly straight down the road. Just worked that way but I AM thankful....

Good morning D! Great win by Kentucky!! I have never seen a coach whine, complain and stay on the field like Lame Kiffin did! Kentucky just out toughed them!!!

Good morning from Nolin Lake near Anneta, KY, Currently 52°F and partly cloudy, Nice.

Loved Cats win. Wow.

Driving out to Middlesboro this morning. Spend couple days there. Visit Cincy on Wednesday, Stay the night. Return here Thursday. Bernheim Forest Friday.

Wishing y'all a great start to your week.

Morning D-Legionnaires!

68° this morning with a high expected around 90°. Still rather hot. Suppose to start getting cooler on Thursday with a possibility of some rain (still need more).

We won both games late yesterday afternoon (5:30 and 6:30pm) and they could not find another pitcher so, I played. Basically, jogged to first when I hit. Did reinjure leg slightly when I took off for second after a line drive to right field went to the fence, but not so bad I could not go. This was one of those times I wished I had a bad hitting night, so I would not have to run (not really, I hate those games). 6 for 6 over all for the evening.

Enjoy the extra day off folks, have a peaceful and restful day, and God Bless.

Good morning folks. Happy What Used to Be Columbus Day. Just another working Monday for me.

Beautiful day in the east. That figures, after a weekend when it poured constantly. Maybe I can slip out at lunch and enjoy a long walk.

Not much else going on. Bengals looked very ordinary hanging on the beat the woeful Dolphins. At least the Used to Be Redskins blew a certain win with ridiculous clock management. I used to root for them back in teh John Riggins day, but their fan base eventually turned my off, and their previous owner, Dan Snyder, was the final affront. I want them to lose every game now.

Hope you folks have a good day.

Hello All,

A late night, a slow start of the morning. On my second cup of coffee.... Light today hopefully.

MdW, the feds be coasting on this "off-day"... Tried calling the VA just to check but their phones are off.

Still waiting on the reigning-in but I will stop...

Still getting My Darling adjusted to her CPAP machine. Knew it would be a process but she is using it well, just getting the mask issues and other kinks worked out.

I do hope all of you are enjoying your day....

Can't get much better than 6-6. I swung at to many bad pitches to 6-6. it felt to good to knock the crap out of the ball and I didn't want to wait on one. I liked Stan Musials answer on his theory of hitting, "I look for a baseball and then I knock the **** out of it."

I have had plenty of bad hitting days this year. Been in a slump of sorts until one of our guys finally approached (the others did not want to tell the old guy how to play/hit) and said that he saw a different stance than what I had been doing before and it looked as if I needed to back away from the plate a little and move forward. I did and started ripping the ball. Sometimes you (generalizing) cannot see your mistakes when you get comfortable in them. I should have realized it sooner but... I have long arms so, I was not getting the meat of the bat on the ball lately.

Good morning folks. Cool and clear in the east. A beautiful day. I took a long walk this morning out under the stars. Really lovely. It was the kind of morning you could feel gratitude just for being alive, however old and broken down and past the days of living great adventures.

In at my DC office now. Dealing with loads of nonsense. But maybe I can steal away at lunch to tour Ford's Theater, or one of the Smithsonian Museums nearby, or check out the National Archives, where I worked almost 50 years ago (48, my first job in DC, and just saying that number seems incredible) and now work just a few blocks from, but haven't actually visited in years.

I hope whatever the day has in store for you all, it's a good one.

Hello All,

Been at it early but not overwhelmed "at it"...

Took My Darling to the Quantico Marine Base Commissary and we hit it on some Chuckeye steaks. Got a good haul and some other stuff. I even got a case of Yuengling at the class 6. (Package store). Had points saved on my Star Card but you can't use them at the Comissary ....where.. I accumulated them so, I got a 24 pack of Yuengling Lager Long neck bottles for $3.99 today. Maybe I can drink one or two today. I have not had a beer or anything alchoholic in a couple months...

Doing some cleaning in my and the BB's office. I am thankful........................

I DO hope all enjoy this day the Lord has made.... AND, be glad in it....

Good day/week today Gents. Off work for the week and been busy doing some house cleaning as far just getting rid of "stuff" that hasn't been seen/messed with in years. We all need to do that sometimes.

Found some things in the closet that I just can't get rid of just need to find another place for it. I found a box of some of my PawPaws old knives, letter openers, fountain pens, and a small box of old wheat pennies. Yeah, those ain't going anywhere.

Are there any turkey hunters on here? I found a Jim Worley homemade turkey call that my Wife was going to get rid of that was her Dad's but I kept it as she wanted to toss it. My FIL is a well known nut grower here in Kentucky and he has met people from all walks of life, particularly when it comes to the outdoors. I don't hunt and have no idea who Jim Worley is. I'd guess my FIL met him and he made him a 1 of 1 wood box turkey call. I just couldn't get rid of that! If any of you fine folks know who this gentleman is and can maybe pass some info down that would be great.

Taking the Mrs. to the Bardstown Dinner Train tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it but there's storms in the forecast. I've never been on a train, but I think it would be cool for a rainy train ride in the Fall.

Tried my luck at fishing at my normally productive spot on Taylorsville yesterday and had zero luck outside of an almost hand sized gill. Was shooting for a few crappie. I tried all kinds of different colored grubs and crapped out. I'm usually good for a few 10+ inchers there. If they weren't biting it means they weren't there. Possibly felt the warmer weather approaching and backed off a bit.

Have a great week fellas!!!

I had no luck either this past Saturday at my favorite bass fishing spots. Not one bite.

There is a Dwayne Worley who is a pretty big name in the turkey call business, but I've never heard of Jim Worley. It's been over 10 years since I was heavily involved in the NWTF (National Wild Turkey Federation).

Take the train ride if you can. Cool stuff, I road the VRE (Virginia Railway Express) from Lorton and then from Woodbridge Virginia up into DC every work day for pushing seven years. I never got tired of that ride. I did tire of some of the people but that took time as you'd run into them every day.... Seems it was about a 23 or 24 mile ride... Just never did tire of that ride though it took me longer commuting. (Oh but the stress relief...)

I know of one here that takes the DC Metrorail (Quite a different experience.). I took that too a lot but I do/ did enjoy that VRE.

Take the ride...
