Friday is here! The Kentucky Derby will take place at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, tomorrow, marking the 150th "Run for the Roses." The race carries a record purse this year of $5M—$2M more than last year—with tomorrow's winner taking home $3.1M. The runner-up will receive $1M and third-place $500K. Coverage begins at 2:30 pm ET on NBC, with Derby post time at 6:57 pm ET.

The oldest continuous sporting event in America, the Derby features 3-year-old thoroughbred horses born in the Northern Hemisphere racing a 1.25-mile track. This year's top contenders include Fierceness (5-2 odds as of this writing), who is coming off a win at the Florida Derby, and Sierra Leone (3-1), both hailing from Kentucky. However, the race is known for upsets: A favorite hasn't won since 2018, and Rich Strike won in 2022 with 80-1 odds. (How are odds calculated?)

The Derby serves as the first leg in horse racing's Triple Crown series. Preceding the Derby this evening is the Kentucky Oaks (5:51 pm ET), showcasing 3-year-old fillies or young female horses. See Derby predictions here.

Good mornin all.

Steve, I’m very sorry to hear about your mother in-law. I didn’t see your post yesterday. Hoping for the best outcome.

[Rodnok1]

Got sunburn on face yesterday I seldom ever get a sunburn, stupid meds.
Been pushing myself right to the limit this week, been eating like I'm pregnant but have lost weight. Fence project done at least. Sun tester back together also, jjst needs cables cleaned or replaced.

Trip tonight just after dinner to the north. Sigh.... I both want to go and don't want to go as time is shorter than ever. Probably be gone close to a month, back for Dr appt June 5th however.
Bear will be getting a happy pill when we leave, rain should start within a couple of hours and persist all night.
Good thing I'm going as his Merc needs immediate work now

Off to walk the spaz and throw stuff in the car

Y’all need to come up with something better.

[Old Ben]

Morning all.

Going to take the day off today. Been working on a wire mesh fence around the Koi pond. Have more jab marks than I can count from the wire ends.

[LisaJohn]

Good morning. Glad you are taking the day off Mr Ben.

Does anyone know why the coffee pods sometimes leave the coffee grounds in the cup of coffee?

700 miles in about 10 hrs. Traffic was medium to light with only a few left lane crusisers and only a few driving way too fast for wet roads and traffic.

Bear was pretty good, could have been the sleep pills....
He was really tired yesterday even before we left. He gets motion sick a little and let me know I was going too fast on curvy mountain roads... whoops. He came close to calling Ralph.

Got here 4am or so, slept maybe 2 hrs. Bear heard train whistles and wouldn't settle down. He's currently crushing both my ankles and dreaming. I may not walk normal for a week.

Changed Merc coolant fan, sensor I ordered and had sent here wasn't correct of course. New one from Amazon tomorrow. Later today weld mower deck and look at the Jimmy see why running like a Furd.

I may be tired and tube bugging me still. Old is fun.

He looks like total shit.... Very run down from chemo and other treatments.
