I never had the chance. I tear my ACL second as a freshman in HS. They didn’t have the surgical technique the have today. I still have a 7″ scar where they went in and cleaned me up. The knee was never the same and the docs advised I quit the sport. My knee still gives me a weather report for rain in the forecast. Aches like heck just prior…[Read more]

yeah, Gable totally underestimated Hendrickson’s improvement I sense he was a bit gassed in those final seconds. I’ve never seen anyone hold him down like Hendrickson did. I don’t think Steveson wants his career to end like it did at the NCAA and expect he’ll be on the mat in Las Vegas. Parris will be there so that will make for an interesting…[Read more]

I presume you’ve watched Hendrickson take out Steveson by now. If not, it’s worth the time. Hendrickson was on top of his game. Steveson looked like he expected to win easily.

NCAA weekend. Wifey not happy, too much wrestling on the tube. We go through this every year. Sunday will be back to normal.

It looks like you may get chance this year. Mt. Adams is rumbling. It was an incredible spring day, 68F and blue sky.

My cousin wax in Washington at the time and shipped a jar of ash. I still have it somewhere with my mineral collection. He’s with the Coast Guard but has since moved up to Alaska and is captain of a cutter patrols US the fishing and crabbing boats. The Chinese and Russians like to poach the US. He’s boarded quite a few of their ships.

System went goofy again blocking y log in.

I hope you don’t reside near Mount Adams. They are saying it’s getting ready to blew it’s top.

The state wrestling tournament enters the finals this weekend. We have a 3X champ that got himself in a real pickle at the district tournament 2 weeks ago. His father confronted a bunch of opposing fans about their jeering. One pushed him backward and on top of fans in lower seats. The kid had just won his district title bout and ran up into…[Read more]

Expense of incarceration is deemed excessive.

Wild weather bouncing between high 50’s and mid 30’s. Wind has been 30-40 mph which makes 55 chilly.

The gang was over for wifey’s birthday. I booked a trip to Bermuda in June, and then Switzerland, Italy and France in August.
Her reply, “It’s about time we’re going somewhere.”

The Bronx and Brooklyn are disasters these days. Both are NYC boroughs, and the city council basically follows Sa Francisco management. They rewrote the felony crime book and downgraded much to misdemeanors and adopted no cash parole. Crime is rampant and even worse given the volume of aliens now residing in the city. Downtown NYC is a crime…[Read more]

We haven’t been to a zoo since the kids were little, the Bronx Zoo. It’s a tough neighborhood to drive through to get there. Last time we went, we were stopped at a light and three thugs threatened to smash the van with bats unless we gave them money. Fortunately, the light turned, and I sped off not looking back for injuries. From then on, we…[Read more]

Hit 60 here yesterday so I spent a lot of time outside in the sun. I opted to replace a broken wheel stud which turned into a major effort getting the caliper off. I watched video on Youtube and the guy made it look easy getting the caliper bolts out. No doubt he restarted the video after spending a lot of time getting them loose. I’ve since…[Read more]

The cold weather just started to break here. 52 yesterday and mid 50’s through Friday. Sunshine and looking forward to it.

That youth wrestling tournament was a nightmare. I had no idea it was going to be that big. #2 son’s boys cancelled out because of colds they picked up Friday. There were 22 brackets. No.1 son’s boys had 17 and 22 in their…[Read more]

Temp was 28 today but the windchill knocked it down to 5. 2 more days around 30 then into the 40 for 10 days. 5 are just a blink away.

Absolutely crazy weather the past week. 2 5″ snowfalls followed by b50’s which melted them away. 3 days of wind gusting to 50-60 MPH. Now we’re heading into 3 frigid days with highs of 30F just before we get hit with more snow Wed/Thurs somewhere between 1 and 12″

We’re saddled up inside and that rowing machine would have been a nice break.…[Read more]

The Eagles defense totally dominated KC forcing Mahomes to make bad passes. You know he is accustomed to completing unreal completions that he seems he was overconfident in his ability. Still, he landed a few bombs in the 4th Q and that last 65
yard bombshell to the endzone. was right on target The Eagles O Line stifled the KC D. They…[Read more]

Sounds like wifey may have picked up the norovirus that’s been roaming around. It’s been brutal for those affected. It’s quite common for it to be communicated through kids / schools.

I hate to do it but I’m rooting for the Eagles this year, more or less for Saquon Barkley, the former Giants via Penn State running back from NJ. He’s been the…[Read more]

No snow here, just sleet, rain and now ice. That’s a miserable combination because you can’t do anything outside and can’t go anywhere. The guessers are saying maybe 2″ of snow tonight.

I can’t do any kins of berry. The birds and squirrels get them just before they ripen. I’ve been trapping the squirrels and dropping them in an orchard 20 miles away. They keep stealing the apples.

Yup, beautiful while it’s coming down, but then please melt away. They say 2 inches of rain tonight. The ground is rock solid, frozen to about 4″. There won’t be any ground drainage, so I’m expecting major runoff and flooding. That’s unfortunate since we are still deemed high fire hazard due to the fall drought. It looks like we’re are losing…[Read more]
