We've run one for a year with a polaris also in the pool. It was annoying how often it would get stuck on the floating hose. Last week, i wrapped fishing line across the legs and put it back in the pool.... hasn't gotten stuck again.

I have several Makita 18v tools including the trim router and three or four saws. But the batteries also go in my lawn mower, trimmer, and blower. Happy with them.

It's '03 for me but they are all special. I remember going to games with my dad in the 90's and we would have 10 tickets, in the lower bowl, and couldn't give them away. I was in school for the Saban years and the game day experience was just next level compared to just a few years before. I mean, just a few years before we were excited about the independence bowl. The '01 Sugar Bowl was surprising and the '03 NC just came quick. Was a good time to be in BR. Can't imagine what last year was like though.

You should nominate him. Reality is there are just so many great athletes that some are over looked.

This was the exact game that came to mind for me as well. A friend and I were at the game and were so excited when LSU took the lead.

In '07 I nearly broke up with my girlfriend (now wife/no pics) after the Arkansas loss.

If your job has transitioned to you working from home,

How did the transition go?
I started out with something temporary in the living room, but once I realized this wasn't going to be a two week thing, I cleaned up my home desk and treat it like work.

Are you more or less efficient?
WAY more efficient. I was in corporate and all these higher-ups would stop by to chat. Nothing kills progress like stopping every 30 mins because a VP wants to tell you a story.
The other big positive is the Teams meetings. My job role is spread out with one or two people in each region. this is the first time we've ever collaborated real-time on projects and it's been great.

Has your compensation been affected? How?
No affect. They did have layoffs a few weeks back but it was just cutting dead weight.

What do you enjoy about working from home?
I love it. Biggest thing is wearing shorts and no commute. And the commute is both ways. If I'm rolling on something in the afternoon I keep going. Before I was watching the clock and thinking about traffic on the way home.

What’s been the biggest challenge?
Wife (no pics) and I were both in the same room the first two weeks. Once I got out of there and set up my own spot it's been golden.
Also, early on I upgraded from AT&T's shitty wifi to a mesh system. That's been huge. Better printer would be nice too.

What is your company telling you about timelines for returning to pre ‘Rona normalcy?
We get an email every few weeks that just says keep on doing what you're doing. They don't say it, but I think they don't want to adsorb the cost associated with cleaning the office. Cost of cleaning supplies and "professionals" to wipe down high traffic areas is out of control.

Which changes could stick around once this is all over?
I could see when the lease is up for renewal they shrink our office footprint. We have 5 floors of a building now and I could see that being cut in half.

This, be prepared with questions to ask them.

Also, don't just prepare answers to questions. Have someone actually ask you the questions and let you respond. Do this a few times. The same questions over and over. It will help on the spot when you are trying to find the right words.
