    Did your soul have boobs? No? Well, there you go.

    They opened for Swedish Sex Dungeon in KC a couple years ago.

    I had a temporal artery biopsy Tuesday and I'm scheduled to see a rheumatologist mid-July. I've been on prednisone again since the 5th of June. I am supposed to get the biopsy results next Tuesday. The biopsy was done because I had a couple of blurred vision episodes. Overall, I'm functioning pretty well. We traveled to the Keys for our Anniversary and another wedding in JAX without too much discomfort. So far so good.

    Oh, I’m aware.

    It's a complete and total shitshow, but you already knew that. I really had high hopes that Sherman would restore some sanity to the FO when he bought the team. He has not and now he is asking the KC metro to fund his new stadium dreams with this roster. I've been a fan too long to change it now but god damn if I don't think about it. Name a bandwagon that I should jump on. Salvy should have been traded a couple years ago. He might be the only player they have that might bring a barely respectable return.

    So sorry to hear this, Bear. If there is anything you need, just ask. I owe you a couple.

    Word is that there is a slim chance he will return but I can’t see it. There isn’t a program anywhere that couldn’t use him and if he wants any post season play, it will have to be elsewhere.

    Not at all surprised by the Royals futility but the Angels being at the bottom is the cherry on top.

    Well done, Kids! Keep up the good work.

    I heard a multi engine prop plane yesterday and ran outside to see if it was Doc the B-29. It wasn’t but I couldn’t identify it. AN-12BK from Ukraine Air Alliance says Flightradar24. Going from DC to San Bernardino. Went to wiki and after reading about it I’m surprised it didn’t fall on my house. Damn if there haven’t been a lot of them that crashed over the last 60 years. Even if you discount the ones that crashed after an Afghan Stinger there have been a lot. Probably not coincidental that the majority had Russian pilots. I’m curious what this one is doing stateside.

    Today's Blossom had a very favorable set of letters. I scored 347 with a longest word of 13. For shits and grins I looked at the all words list and replayed the game using the longest words and the words that used all the letters. That score was 447 so you weren't far off with your selections.

    IMG_0933.mp4 I stepped on a cricket and a parasitic worm started to crawl out of it's ass. By the time I fetched my phone it was out and squirming. Google tells me many crickets , grasshoppers and Mantii are afflicted. The internet blew up a couple weeks ago with videos of these so I thought it was cool to witness it first hand.

    IMG_0933.3gp What is the process to make this show up as a video rather than a download?

    Looks like I have a roadtrip in my future.

    Clamp an electric drill in a vise and chuck up a piece of metal close to the proper OD. Turn it on and use a file or dremel to turn the little end. Poor man’s lathe.

    Green and AD Saal have been buddies since they met at Murray State Kentucky. National search my ass.

    I have yet to read anything about this guy that makes me think he is an upgrade over Hibbs. He’s younger I guess. Time will tell but meh for now.
  19. Shoxthemonkey
    Any of that sounds better than SC,KS.

    Wife was putting stuff under the deck before the big rain hits us and says we have a rat snake taking refuge under the mower deck. I’ll try and get a picture if I remember after the rain stops. @deadshank it’s raining like nobodies business in Strong City. Is Missus Shank there? Wife and I were there for the rodeo parade but left before it started because of the downpour.

    I used to know this aggy that could never catch a joke. They flew right over his head. FWIW, he weighed about 5 bills.

    Well, OSU and WSU have played for years. Careful what you wish for.

    Local radio hints at the current ORU coach being the top of the list. I haven't googled him yet and can't remember his name. So far I have been very impressed with AD Saal. I liked his Basketball hires but this move seems a little rushed. Hibbs was interim but he let it be known that he would be willing to continue. He had some nice recruits lined up. We have some deep pocket donors but I think they are getting tired of being asked for money to make people go away. I'm not one of them but I know a couple and that's the sense I get.

    No, Todd Butler had Arkansas ties but some of the rest of the staff were former Shockers. Brent Kemnitz was the pitching coach and I forget who else was involved. I thought Loren Hibbs did a very good job with Wedge's kids and should have been retained but I suppose his age worked against him a bit. Seems like a dumb reason to me but that's all I can figure. After agreeing to only be the interim coach, the head coaching bug bit him hard and he really wanted to continue. Time will tell if the new AD did the right thing, I guess. Thanks for the response.

    Wichita State let the entire Baseball staff go this morning. The AD made it sound like the next staff won't have any connection to the Stephenson years. There has always been a connection to Gene since the program was revived way back when. This was a little surprising because there was some modest improvement shown this year, 3rd in the AAC, more all-conference players than any other school, etc. Add in that he also hired new Men's and Women's Bball coaches and I thought he might leave baseball alone. @Beau Vine @shadow_operative2.0 Who is out there that would be a good hire for a non-P5 program and the Shox in particular?
