For the first time in a month we’ve been kid less during the day. With our daughter back in the school care program again after a quarantine my wife and went and had lunch at Nachos in Hopkins. We also stopped at LTD for some beer to go

It was just nice to have a small return to normalcy

It’s been awhile, but again, The Rube is my perfect movie barometer. Thanks for doing these. I appreciate the feedback.

Working at UPS was not completely unlike the military although no boot camp and you never got shot at. :mrgreen: Managers had no problem raising their voice for any reason and you had to have an attitude of, "I'm the fu***ng best!!!" at all times.

I have been using my wifi router for close to 10 years... I am afraid to replace it because it is rock solid after having issues with previous Linksys routers.

My Phillips Smart TV I bought only a few years ago no longer works with Netflix or YouTube.

Not sure if I am going to bother with getting darkness this year. The last vintage I had (cannot remember the year) tasted more like soy sauce than an imperial stout, was tough to finish.

Anyone have a recommendation for a backyard shed? I'm not very handy, so preferably pre-assembled and delivered? I've only just started to look into it, and the options are kind of overwhelming.

What university has the highest elevation FBS football stadium? I think it is Wyoming. Over 7000 feet, no? Wyoming is correct at 7215 ft. Air Force is #2 at 6621 ft.

As I said in my other post about hunting with my son, this year was the first time I've duck hunted in my life.

Yes - that...

652 people voted in The Athletic's poll of the outcome of the series. 3% of the people picked the Astros in 2. Is it sad that I'm one of them?
It's your fault then.

Maybe I'm one of the only few smart people who took part in that poll

My prediction of the Twins getting swept on Gleeman's Twitter poll is starting to look like I'm not as crazy as people would have thought.

When you can't hit and give away outs to a playoff team you're not going to win games.

NE runs the most obvious play on earth, and lo and behold, SEA sniffs it out. Yawn. What’s annoying is earlier in the game they did that fake Cam run and he chucked it to an open fullback.
