Life’s been good to me so…

I can’t complain but sometimes I still do.

Couch covers are being washed. 

Ordered from Home Depot and…

Ordered from Home Depot and had them shipped to my house. Comes factory direct.  Only thing to note is the hardware aren’t magnets.  They screw together, which actually turned out to be better as it’s more secure, in my opinion  

Fab Glass and Mirror

The acrylic is actually…

The acrylic is actually really light. So used a level to get the first one set up, then taped to the wall with painters tape. Went one at a time after that until all four were taped in the right place. Holes for mounting hardware are pre cut in the acrylic, so just marked the center of each hole, took them off the wall, drilled the pilot holes, hammered in the included drywall anchors, and screwed in the hardware. Getting the pictures in the frame was really simple too as the paper is heavy enough weight the two pieces of acrylic sandwich well enough without the need for adhesive.

They update this almost daily saying what order number they are through.

I did my undergrad and masters in AA and never heard the term, obviously. Love this blog!

Your username.  I had to look it up initially thinking it was some made up combination of things. I was wrong!  Fascinating.

With some warm water and no scratch dish scrubber, you can get the bar codes off so it’s a nice, clean look.

Our hotel is close to the stadium.  So we're going to sailgate over to the game and then play it by ear after that.  The return boat ride really seems like that's all it is, just a trip back to the port.

Noon on Saturdays. 

What decade is it, by the way?

Which is I guess legal?  But iphone videos from 100 hundred yards away isn't legal and undermines the game.  Having just recorded my kids choir at a Twins baseball game from less than 100 hundred yards away (they were in centerfield and I was by a foul pole) I can ensure you 3x zoom on an iphone doesn't provide any discernible details.  Couldn't even see kids faces.

The truth is, Smith and  Day…

The truth is, Smith and  Day sought to undermine Michigan's victories to protect themselves from their own fan base.

I agree with this take.  

Have you seen their schedule…

Have you seen their schedule?  It's laughable until Oregon.  I know you're joking, but thought worth saying as they'll start number 1 and they absolutely will be number 1 if they go undefeated until the game except for maybe one scenario: we go undefeated.  Given our monstrosity of a schedule, if we roll undefeated into Thanksgiving (doubtful), we would be absolutely deserving of the #1.

That white sticker in the…

That white sticker in the bottom middle of his helmet is particularly nice.  I can see OSU and MSU fans with their sharpies at the ready.

And they knew Stalions…

And they knew Stalions existed and could (and likely did) changed things accordingly.  

This doesn't get enough…

This doesn't get enough attention.  The fact that people state they knew about the situation was a BENEFIT to those teams because they could react in advance rather than going "oh shit" in the middle of the game.  Stalions arguably hurt Michigan more than he helped.

That’s called battery. It wouldn’t have stuck in Columbus, but he committed a crime against you. So does Gene’s criminal record need a few asterisks?

Could it have been moved to the message board?  Or is that not possible? Posted as a diary in error (not by me) and was generating decent discussion.

Should I really trust the advice of a 17 year-old skipping school?

Love bluey. My favorite line is from this episode as well: “this is what happens when you’re unhappy with what you’ve got: someone’s husband eventually gets it.”

Our Weber is holding strong as our regular grill and we have a cheap electric smoker that works well for our needs in the space.  Pizza is my wife's hobby (and one I very much so enjoy), so looking to do a standalone pizza option.

Depends on the barrel. There are barrels that are over 135 and they didn’t. Concentrate the alcohol. All depends on how it’s made stored. Age matters too. I don’t trust anyone from total wine.

$70 with tax and shipping. 100% would be doing this for the bottle given it’s a 2 year whiskey.

Penix career also won’t last as long because it won’t start for at least three more years. 

It’s interesting to me that…

It’s interesting to me that KOC liked the fact JJ threw it on a line to Johnson in the highlight from the Minnesota game they grabbed. I remember that play and thinking if JJ had put air under it it could have been a touchdown. As I’m not an NFL head coach, perhaps throwing on a line was the right move then?

No. I can’t remember the timeline exactly, but it was closed soon after I became of drinking age. Charley’s and Scorekeepers were the usual haunts. Dollar pitcher and soco limes S’keepers on Thursdays. 100% avoided Friday classes.

Edit: posted this before reading through other comments. This is becoming a sad and frequent joke.

Perfect season. Perfect recap. We would have overlapped in school (class of 04). I didn’t have the early years as I didn’t grow up in Michigan, but my wife and I met in school and have shared our fandom for over 20 years.  Your piece resonates with me in many ways. Excellent.

Nice. Looking forward to getting to know this offense. The D is already so familiar. 

Highly recommend Minnesota…

Highly recommend Minnesota. Not so much Minneapolis proper. Choose a suburb. Minneapolis and St. Paul are improving, but they are not yet what they were pre-Covid. Plus, the school systems are all much better in the suburbs (some are outstanding and almost all are top notch). Housing can get to over a million if you are hell bent on top notch areas and new builds, but I’ll say there are tons of options in the 600-900k range in great areas.

Well, we did close the gap quite a bit in the last game of the year. They had a 23 point lead heading into that game.

They are convinced one person, and only one person, is responsible for the “somehow we’re 3-0”.  Delusional.

Bummer.  Maybe he's just threatening to leave to get more NIL?  Wouldn't be surprised if these kids are learning this valuable corporate world skillset.

Looking to buy 4 Washington away game tickets. Need 300 priority points per the email that came out today, and I’m a few shy of that unfortunately.
