To be fair they did until the Reckless.

They loved the Cat 6 and 7.

After that it trailed off until now.

I used to fight this.

I went back to reading books by 40w incandescent light (not led) in my bedside lamp.

Add a window unit set on 64.

You can use an electric blanket for the winter.

If desperate you can take like a half dose of metoporol which is a none habit forming beta blocker. Really settles the brain down and is an old drug and pretty safe at low dose.

I also never watch TV in bed. I quit using my phone as well in there.
Kawasaki makes a great one what you ask.

The second row will fold up and slide forward for a larger bed. Its a beast.

A friend has it on a giant lease and it is a beast. He works the shite out of it.

He just doesn’t have it.



He doesn't want it.

He clearly backed off in his last election when he was cooking.

It's an easier path this way. He gets to bitch and complain but doesn't really have to produce anything.

Its feigning resistance. I wouldn't be surprised he was engineered as opposition.

Much like or RINOs here.

My advice:
Don't hire the wrong person thinking you can make them the right person.

It never works.


I hired a young farmer for a tech type job. He had some experience and a little schooling but I convinced people to hire him and put him in my crew.

In a year he became the best in the crew. Hes fantastic. I knew he could learn and it was my.job to get him there.

I told him if he had more like him send em our way.
So we are looking at another house.

We like the floors but they have scratches from the previous owners dog.

Can floors like these be buffed out or refinished?

Seems like a waste to throw away 1500 sq ft of flooring if they can been buffed up and sealed or something.

Anyone know?

Ive coached rec baseball (and basketball) now going on my 9th year i think.

I usually drsft the Sandlot kids and we have a ball. I let way more serious kids get drafted by a few coaches that are hustling tournaments and all stars after rec ends. I teach fundamentals and drill em pretty hard but I do move kids all over so they get to play everywhere.

Like an old man said... A lot of these kids it'll be the last time they ever play competitive sports. Let em play.

Ive seen some amazing kids come through that are naturally head and shoulders above everyone else. Some playing with shite equipment or gloves and bats I loaned em. I cant tell you how many baseballs ive purchased and given away to kids.

One thing that I have noticed is these Sandlot kids know how to do things outside baseball. Ive coached a bunch of the same kids and they can work on their lawnmowers, they fish, cast net, hunt, and help their dads build shite...well rounded.

The kids that play ball year round dont seem to know how to do anything else but that.

I wonder how it will do them when they grow up after school and not made it anywhere else and all of a sudden have to do grownup things....

Its not a critique, just an observation.
Im pretty stoked.

One of the Rec baseball teams I coach as manager they put numbers on our jerseys.

Mine is #39.

We found a company that can make custom jerseys and hats to match.

I think next year we'll be the Sabres.
Put the Braun kid in there and let's see.

Hats off to the ref for being the bigger man and doing the right thing by letting it go.



On the kids rushing the court i can agree.

Not on him initiating contact like he did. No excuse. Should have been T'd up.

That is his fault and he did it purposely. He went straight over to initiate contact.

If it was called and they lost he'd have no one to blame but himself.

North End Zone was closed.

The rest of the stadium sans the upper deck was full. The decks added a lot around stage time.

I brought my family but It was my daughter's 16th birthday gift.

Show was way better than I expected. People complain but he did a really good job. I only knew a couple of songs but it was good.

His two acts with him were very good.

Parking was easy and getting out of my.lot took 8 minutes in total. Best ever getting off campus.

Weather was perfect. People were nice.
What better way to accelerate the replacement theory.

Energy Content (The "True" Cost): Because ethanol provides about 30% to 34% less energy per gallon than gasoline, consumers need to buy more ethanol to travel the same distance. When adjusting for this, ethanol is rarely cheaper than gasoline.


I proved this with hand calculations when I traveled a lot when I had my 2002 f150
