    I did not catch RAF 08. Real is the deal for sure. I do’nt know much about Ashnault but kudos to him for doing it, making a little money, and on his decision to head back to Rutgers.

    We have a metal roof on a outdoor shed covering. Very slippery when wet and also dry. Not recommended for older folks like me who have to get up there and clean it and I’m busy slipping all over the place. No golf shoes on that!! They are more like lean toos. Fully open to the elements but has a roof. It stays pretty dry in there and we…[Read more]

    Well, my wife decided she needed a floral barrier to the garden. So I had to remove the grass in that area. I rented a sod cutter that worked pretty good. But I’m still sore from all that work. Lifting the rolls of sod, they are very heavy and there’s no good ergonomic way to do it. But I’m slowly recovering. That cutter worked pretty…[Read more]

    Well, she chose well. But she really should see this stuff.

    I get to spray the grass for moss today. Moss grows rampantly around here. It’s green so from a distance the lawn looks ok but there is moss everywhere. We’ll attempt to get rid of it and get the grass growing. I get to do that after work.

    She needs to see those. Definitely. Everyone should see these. Tetons is a great park. Yes yes yes.

    RV or no, she’s gotta go.

    That sounds like a great trip. I have fished for Walleyes but only brought up a leach. I’ve been wanting to go to Banff which is just north. I’ll make it there at some point. I also want another trip to Yellowstone, again. I love that place. On the other hand we live in a really nice place, deer come through the property almost…[Read more]

    I’ve been to Glacier park once. Funny story, my Dads family was going to go. They lived in Idaho Falls, ID. So a significant trip back in the day. My dad got pneumonia the day they were to leave and was in the hospital for 2 weeks. His whole family never went. His sisters blamed him for ruining their vacation and they never went there,…[Read more]

    Yeah, that pretty much explains him. Very motivated. Can’t sit around. Has to be doing something. Still cool and wet here. It’s 8:18am and it looks like dusk out there. You can see but it is dark. Typical Seattle.

    Yes, you have to weigh how much the unit costs vs how much crap there is to take to the dump. Those are the costs. So hopefully what you can get from it outweighs those costs.

    This morning is foggy here, or maybe that’s a little bit of drizzle. Not sure, but it is cold out there. We burned some yard debris on saturday, it burned down in our burn enclosure, burned all night, was still smoking in the morning and afternoon. It is quite remarkable how fires just destroy everything given the time. So that was pretty…[Read more]

    Quite the story on Jax. How do you get a guy like that? Just amazing.

    Agreed. Yes I did see the Caliendo dismissal of Messenbrink. But he did shake at the end of the match. I get it kind of. The champ going to everyone shaking hands and saying good job guys, good job. A bit of a scene really. Caliendo got beat down for sure.

    I was expecting an exciting match from Jax, but that didn’t happen. All of…[Read more]

    Yes, Taylor put together quite a team this year. PSU did not do as well as seeded this year. But they did well enough to win comfortably, but not as much as in previous years. They are probably wondering why Starocci couldn’t get a 6th title. (Disclaimer: I am totally against him having a 5th season or anyone else having a 5th season)…[Read more]

    Wow. I’ve never seen anything like that. That’s incredible. I guess something you had to live through to actually understand it.

    NCAAs are mostly going along but there are some upsets. One #2 lost before the quarter finals. All the #1s are on schedule. But there is one guy that was seeded #27 that is in the quarters. So that’s…[Read more]

    Yeah, been there, done that. I never had that issue in MN. The snow was dry and they cleared it quickly. In Seattle, the snow is wet and turns to icy slush when a car runs over it. Traction is zero. I’ve had bad commutes before. I’ve had times I couldn’t get up the hill to get to my driveway. Had to abandon the car on the main road.…[Read more]

    I do ok at home but I do like the office. The show is very sparse now mostly on the ground. The hard surfaces are all pretty much clear now. I did a lot of shoveling, I think that warmed up the asphalt and melted the snow quicker. So getting off my hill is doable. I have new tires on my car, the first set was a sport set and had terrible…[Read more]

    I live on a hill and it is snowing now. and accumulating. I’m not driving today, the driveway is steep and getting to the main road is even steeper. I have a Dr appointment I am canceling right now. This kind of snow is super slippery and my car is not really good in snow. We lost power for a few seconds a couple of times last night and…[Read more]

    Well, the stock market is tanking and tanking my 401k with it. I’m concerned that this war is not going to be a short war and my savings will get hurt. I have an option to put it all in a “savings account” that gets minimal gain, but does not lose. I’m thinking of doing that right now until this stuff stops.

    I read that WA is sending rainy…[Read more]

    Wet and rainy here now. Dark too. After Saturday, I think it starts to warm up so that will be nice.

    Actually we are pretty lucky that we have the weather guessers. Back in the day, they just got what they got. Now at least we usually have a little warning. Hawaii is gonna be getting it with the Kona winds coming. That’s a reversal…[Read more]

    Was supposed to rain all week. We got hail yesterday and right now it is dry and chilly, 34F.
