  1. Legs, arms, and head all very high. Starts the turn to his back at 2:11, enters the net at 2:12. 1 second (actually think it was less) to make the turn, position himself, and enter the net. One frame at 2:12 shows the enter position, so you need to go to 2:11 and advance frame by frame to see it.
  2. Five years ago (actually five years and six days) my father had a stroke. Up until then my folks were more than the sum of their parts, Mom healthy as a horse, Dad sharp as a tack. Overnight they became not twice the problem, but the problem squared. Dad was in an out of rehab and assisted living for 9 months while we turned the family home into a nursing home. It's a full scale nursing home now, complete with hoyer lift, 24/7 care from aides, and daily visits from a nurse. Still, managing it is a nightmare. 4 inches of snow is an emergency, aides need to be able to get in and out of the driveway. If they can get out of their own. What if they can't? Guess who has to fill in. Another rough winter is predicted, I'm dreading it already. Not to mention the daily conflicts between the aides. And scheduling issues. Mom's 99 now, Dad turned 100 last January. Five years ago I was 56, looked 46. 61 now, look 71. Taking on all this has aged me 25 years in the last 5. I tell my brothers that they need to find a way to spend a week every three months here, with 3 brothers that would give me a week a month break. Brothers have not been able to help. So, am I considering putting my folks in a nursing home? Starting to think about it. Assisted living is much better than full scale nursing by the way, but my parents need too much help for assisted. Let's just say I'm doing everything I can to allow my folks to die at home. They don't seem interested in keeping their end of the bargain. Enough about me, thank you for the opportunity to vent. If you would like to discuss how to protect assets, in home medicaid, etc. PM me. I'll send you my phone # and we can talk.
  3. well done...HS still exists.
  4. I'm not even going up in an airplane, let alone jumping out of one. One of those things that you think up with your buddies after a night of heavy drinking then realize how stupid it was in the morning.
  5. What does auto and tire have to do with football? https://www.clevehillauto.com/
  6. Heard this as a Grateful Dead joke decades ago.
  7. As usual I'm not feeling the affects, which is fortunate, because I have a golf date with a smoking hot 55 year old. That's a younger woman to me.
  8. Don't smoke it myself but it's not like making it a criminal substance has stopped its use. Why not let financially troubled governments benefit from the sale instead of criminals? For the argument that most users of harder drugs started on pot, I point out that most alcoholics started on milk. Did smoke for a few years in my teens and early twenties, simply outgrew it, never felt like it was something I just had to quit because it was ruining my life.
  9. 61 years young
  10. I never get hangovers. Maybe move a little slow in the morning if I'm way over served, but never a headache. Maybe if there was a price to pay I wouldn't spend so much on wine and beer.
  11. I'd forgotten about him. Yes, eerily similar. For those that also forgot here's his wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Strzelczyk
  12. It seems like Murphy does his best to find something positive about calls, Schopp does his best to find something negative. I remember a pre-draft first round pick discussion back in 2003 where callers were supposed to pick the Bill's first pick. Absolutely lamb basted the guy that picked McGahee. Not sure why that sticks out in my mind 15 years later, maybe because I pretty much stopped listening to him after that.
  13. Guessing he's buddies with Hauschka, played with him in Seattle for a few years. Played college and started pro career in Canada, used to bad weather
  14. Long Island, the island on Lake George, not the one near Manhattan. Nice camp ground, not the one
  15. Wanted to resign him as well but some guys are just injury prone. Too bad for EJ, hopefully it isn't bad.
  16. Thanks Thanks 3 story colonial with several peaks and valleys, no chance of doing it myself. All of the contractors employees are certified.
  17. I have a reply in that thread saying I'm still here. No idea who the dead Steve is.
  18. Thanks. This speaks more to traditional corrugated metal than to the coated variety I'm thinking about, but it gives me some questions to go back to the contractor with. Concerns may be the same.
  19. Anyone here have a metal roof on their house? Wondering about your experience. I'm thinking about the stone-coated steel like pictured in this link: http://themetalroofoutlet.com/gallery-2/ My main concern would be noise during rain. Looks like the stone coating would minimize that but would rather hear from someone who has one. Also the house has an attic so that should dampen any extra noise from metal vs asphalt. Anything else I should be aware of? Putting on a new roof is not something I want to deal with twice more, this one comes with a 50 year warranty and I'm 61. Any advice/insights appreciated.
  20. Um...I'm Steve and I'm still with us. No idea what this thread is about.
  21. Played softball until I was 59, but never been to a major league baseball game. Plenty of 3A but no major league. Never been married. Don't know where the "never" is in this one, but Mom's 99, Dad's 100, both still live in the house my brother's I were brought up in. Don't think many can say that.
  22. Personally I like having a different identity than the other 31 cities in the NFL, whose fan bases are known as (insert name of team) nation.
  23. Other than the game day experience for me is 3 parts I agree with everything you said. Part 3 is post game party. (I don't give up a Sunday just to leave the game early and miss post game traffic, and I can't stand post game traffic back to Rochester so I wait until it subsides to leave)
  24. To paraphrase Jimmy Stewart from It's a Wonderful life, "This kind of riff raff does most of the working, paying living, and dying in this community." Exactly who the heck is going to go to the new stadium if ticket prices are designed to keep them out?
  25. I'm 61, never owned anything buy manual transmission. For one thing they just take a little bit of the boredom out of driving. For another, as has been alluded to, it reduces the risk of theft by 90%.
