I rented a sod cutter once. I didn’t know the depth was adjustable and end up cutting 2.5″ slabs. I couldn’t roll them, so I had to cut into short slabs and drag them on a tarp to where I wanted to place them,
Anthony Ashnault came out of retirement to go against Real Woods in RAF08. We all hoped he’d keep it close and he did. Down 3-2 with under 10 secs left and Woods putting on the defensive Ash Nault tried to flip over Woods in hope of getting to the back of Woods legs. Almost, Woods caught him for the TD and exposure for a 7-2 win. The next day he announces he’s leaving Princeton and heading back to the Rutgers staff.
2 days at 89F last week, 1 at 88 and 2 in the low 80’s. I got toasted replacing some siding on the house. It still better than to 33 they say we are getting Monday AM. We get big temperature swings on bot winter and summer, but nowhere near many as we’ve experienced this winter.
We have low slope roof over the kitchen, 12″ over 20 ft. I’m have someone quote replacing it with a fiberglass deck. It currently has rolled asphalt which is only 5 years old but it’s already showing granular loss and will need to be resealed this summer. It just seems to be a maintenance headache. It’s 640 Sqft. I had someone quote a metal roof but he also told me I’d to be careful walking on it. That was enough to dissuade me from metal. I’ve been on plenty of sky decks with fiberglass flooring that you can walk on.
We get moss but only on the north side which shady 99% of the year. I use powdered lime and it’s gone in a few days
Cut the grass for the first on the year on Friday. No rain it it’ll need to cut again on Tuesday.
We almost made it there back while I was working. I had a conference to attend at the Big Sky Resort in Montana, and we planned to go and piggyback off the conference. But my daughter recently had her 3rd and her husband had to go to Europe the same week. Wifey opted to help her out with the 2 little ones. Big Sky was close enough for a driving adventure.
If you want to do Banff then go there through Glacier National. It’s the same range just across the border. I’ve been to Glacier, Yellowstone, Snake River Canyon and the Tetons. The wife hasn’t seen any of them so we’ve (I’ve) talked about doing an RV tour. She’s not too keen on the RV.
You can find just about any “how to” on YouTube. Been there many times rather than wasting time trying to figure something out.
The goats in Glacier are just crazy. There not afraid of people but if get too close, look out, they’ll ram you. I don’t know how they get out of the ledges they eat off. No fear and incredible balance. We spent 2 weeks out there. 1-6 day trek and 2 -3 day overnights. zone the 3 days was spent backpacking 25 miles to the Hungry Horse Reservoir and then canoeing the length of the lake. We wanted end on the westside near the dam, but the wind wasn’t cooperating and kept blowing us to the middle. We ended up landing on the east side and fished for about 5 hours until the wind died down. We caught a bunch of walleyes.
I don’t mind dark mornings. I would much rather have more sunshine at the end of the day. I’m on the side of kept daylight savings year round. Having it dark AT 4:30 PM is too depressing. For us, that means the summer sun doesn’t set until 9 PM. since we are on the eastern edge of EST. We were backing Glacier National, it was still sunlit at 10 PM, but it didn’t get light out until 7:30 AM.
Sounds like he has a lot going on and will take on anything when he can make a buck.
Hit 82F yesterday afternoon. Woke up to 42F. It’ll be back into the 70s tomorrow.
That kind of success could be habit forming. Considering how much it costs to rent a unit, I can’t imagine someone storing all junk in on, so I guess the odds are his favor. It all comes down to the cost to take one over.
One more warm day to the low i80’s before the wind changes and rain moved in for 4-5 days.
Yeah, Jax blew through his side of the bracket. I think Davino is that good. It’s been a while since Blaze has lost and Davino completely shut him down. Jax is huge for the weight class. I don’t think we’ll see him there next year. 141 if not 149 next year. He could even redshirt next year and return at 149 for ’28. That will get him beefed up for 65K freestyle. I just don’t see him being able to drop 8 Lbs.to 57K. I knew Davino was pretty good. He a great run at the US Trials last April with wins over Nico Megaludis, Daton Fix, and Austin DeSanto at 61K.
Mesenbrink at the podium was definitely unusual, but in what Ive seen of him this year in interviews, it didn’t surprise me. I don’t know, maybe he was trying to throw a little butter on the Hodge popcorn. He should walk away with it anyway. He and Barr are the top choices and Mesenbrink has many more falls.
The first three bouts set the night. 2 champs, 2 upsets. Did you catch the video of the 165 podium? Mesenbrink got off the podium to shake the hand of each placer. He gets to Caliendo and is ignored. I guess a TF beat down and a 0-9 record against Mesenbrink does that to you.
I agree on the five year eligibility rule for COVID offering 6 years for 4 years eligibility would have been more appropriate. Same for those getting a 7th year of eligibility. I know there were / are rumblings of making 5 years of eligibility the standard. Team would have to carry 5 year rosters and payroll. For most schools they will just cut the number of athletes on scholarship.
Oklahoma State may not catch up to PSU next year, but in 2 we could very well a very competitive two team tournament once again.
Looks like David Taylor is paying back for that mammoth million dollar coaching contract. Hired in 2024 after the 2025 recruiting season his first group of recruits include 4 true freshmen that are in the finals. I’m pretty sure Sanderson’s contract bonuses take him over the million dollar mark. Sanderson’s got to be looking over his shoulder at what Taylor is putting together down in Stillwater. All of the oil money has to be feeding a wealthy NIL bankroll.
That storm I spoke of was in 1978 and things got worse as the hours passed. So much snow came down people had to abandon their cars on I287. Those cars got plowed under the snow to the point people couldn’t find their car and if they did there was no where to to put the snow when digging it out. The state finally shut dow the interstate and hired digger and tow trucks to find and remove the cars. They towed to a Walmart parking lot and told the drivers to go there to retriever the car.
The people that abandoned the cars got lucky in that there was about a 10 mile stretch where the train line paralleled the highway. If the went to the train station the line allowed them to board and ride with no0 fare. A lot of folks road that train all night from one side of the state to the other and back. The cars were heated and because they ran continuously the tracks were kept clean. By morning the roads had been cleared and they eventually got picked up at a rail station. Periodically the train would stop at a station long enough for the riders to buy food and drinks. Because the people that worked in the stations couldn’t get home they kept them open all night long. A lot of people slept in the rail stations. Yeah they found 3 people frozen dead in their cars once they finally moved them. Ran out of gas and froze. It wasn’t the worst snowfall we had but theose weather guessers blew the snowfall forecast and it occurred midday after everyone had left home.
