Great thread - I'm still watching (over and over) one of ESPNs Top 25 games of 2016 - Pitt beating eventual NC Clemson at Clemson. Pitt was 5-4, while Clemson was 9-0. Pitt drove the ball right down the field 75 yards on 1st drive and 3rd drive. Score tied 14-14 end 1st Q. Pitt won. Cle...

Still watching National Champ Clemson's only loss on the Pitt-Clemson game as one of ESPN's top 25 games of 2016. Clemson finished at 14-1. Beat undefeated Alabama in NC game (Alabama ended 14-1). Guess what? Pitt with Matt Canada beat Clemson in game played at Clemson. Clemson's only loss, who...

re: Gravely ZT HD

Absolutely fabulous machine. I got a new 60" Gravely ZT HD about 2 years ago. Use it to cut 1 acre lawn. Around many trees, house & over bumpy lawn - about 1.5 hours per cut. Uses only about 1.5 to 2 gal. out of the 6 gal. gas tank each time. Sorry, I have the 2 cylinder Kawasaki (24 HP...

re: Neatest thing you have built?

fishfighter - hang in there - I built (kit built) a Heathkit electronic depth finder in about 1969. A circular scale displaying 0 - 60' with a spinning neon flashing light depth finder (using regular transom mounted transducer). Circuit board, soldering iron, transistors, resistors, capacitors...
I love all of Pink Floyd's music. I mean I love it all... I'm over 70. Been there. They, in all their incarnations, are so superbly great!!! I have all, I mean all, of their music. Argue on particulars all you want, guys. I love all of Pink Floyd's music. Great thread. Carry on. ...
[quote]I've been curious about this but had no idea how drilling into a crank and/or adding weight would work, I may do some tinkering leading up to this weekend.[/quote] Drilling into bottom of hollow body floater/diver lure, regardless of size/action of lip (shallow, medium, deep diver) to add we...
[quote]Will the game be on C-Span?[/quote] Yes. From what I heard on TV, game will be televised on C-Span at 7pm EDT. I get C-Span1 and C-Span2. Neither indicated programming included that game. So I recorded them both for several hours beginning 6pm CDT. We will see. Hope I helped. ...

Hi New Iberia. I grew up there, then 5 years Lafayette, then 7 years Baton Rouge area and then Houston area since. Welcome to board. You are totally contributing to LSU softball. Shout out to New Iberia and area. Thanks for your posts. Have read them all. LSU is totally my team also. :g...
Looks/sounds like a water problem to me. Over or under watering? Does 5 gal. pot have one or more holes at bottom not entirely on concrete so it can truly drain? I have had pots in the past being entirely on concrete and pretty much "sealed" at bottom so they could not really drain water reasonab...
[quote]LSU's issue is the offense not its pitching. [/quote] Totally agree. To win at this CWS level, LSU needs runs. To get runs, LSU needs real hits (doubles or greater). Against great pitching, LSU needs great hitters with BA of .300 or greater to do doubles or more (slugging % enters)....
Don't claim you "debunked" any major point I made in any post by "debunking" a small, minor point I may have made about slap hitters (slappers) being able to make it to 1st base in world record time or not. That does not constitute winning in baseball or softball (baseball). Runs do that. Not get...
[quote]OBP means everything? I disagree, respectfully. [/quote] In response to Mulerider, so do I. I held off responding - I think he was really responding to you. However, he was indirectly responding to me. Bhs83, I so totally agree with you. OBP, as a stat, implies that hitters (slap...
[quote]On base percentage may mean a good bit, but it takes two slapper hits to get a runner from second base to home plate, probably 60 percent of the time. Look at the better teams, they are not so much small-ball. They may mix some small-ball into the stew, but they are mostly wide open swin...
[quote]Leave me out of this debate. ETA.. I have nothing to discuss yay or nay... just want to ride this train to the finish line... having a lot of fun so far!![/quote] You and me both. I love our Lady Tigers. So far, so good. Wow. Aren't they something? Answer - yes, of course. They scare...

Kafka - great songs. No kidding. Keep up the good work... Songs mentioned in the first poster's response to OP are Marty Robbins' "Big Iron" and "El Paso". Just mentioned, not linked. For the 37 people (j/k, maybe 250 million people more/less) in our 350 million USA population that may...
