  1. Looks like this one just got cancelled (but sounds like they're working on a virtual show).
  2. ...and the Saints back up Jamies Winston threw touchdown for the Saints. Not really a big deal as he completed plenty of passes to players in Saints jersey's downfield the last five years, although he was in a Buccaneers jersey at the time.
  3. A-10...the Warthog. When I was in grade school, GE made the engines for these so the military did a low, slow flyover. For a young male, it was incredible. Last summer, I was listening to Bob & Tom and there was to be a tribute to the healthcare providers with a flyover by A-10's. I took my teenager and we made the two hour drive. It's impressive to see one, let alone four in formation. Where else can you see such a thing and not be their target! As quiet as they are, you're likely toast by the time you can see or hear them approaching
  4. Jacob Voracek (Philadelphia Flyers) Best....postgame interview......ever!
  5. Welly Mercedes SLS....
  6. Finished up turning this.....(different paint scheme, but same Hot Wheel) Into this......
  7. Jacob Voracek Best.......post game....interview....ever!!
  8. Apparently the post office hired Ace Ventura when he wore the HDS uniform in the Pet Detective movie. I presume "fragile" means kick here
  9. An e-mail from my teenager's school..... Ohio recently passed a law allowing community members without a Bachelor's degree to substitute teach for the remainder of this school year. Seriously....a pulse is a qualification to substitute teach? Just for a laugh I clicked on the link and there is about 20 local schools. I joked with the family I'm disqualified as I have two Bachelor's. The wife said I would last about an hour.....my son had less faith and gave me 30 minutes. I lack that filter between the brain and mouth.
  10. Congratulations!! My mom passed six months after they hit their 50th anniversary. I made Dad put it in Mom's obit as it's not an easy accomplishment
  11. Two of my foursome are on a Glucosamine supplement. Turner is almost 12 and (per the Xray) the ball never fully developed in his hind hips so he's always had issues and this has helped him tremendously. I've been on it for 20 plus years after a recommendation from a former NFL player turned trainer.
  12. I have a serious thing for redheads (Ginger) but the 'girl next door' type was much hotter.....
  13. When posting pics on your store's Facebook page, pay attention to your background! Both of the following are 'toy/collectible' stores Store #1....picture of individual items but took the pic on the register counter, but also in the shot is the notebook showing a column of 'sell price' and 'cost to buy'. Oops! Store #2....either they drove a few miles away to purchase an item for $12 at Bargain Hunt or gave the seller around $6 and priced it on their page for $28. Come on, like the people that sell the kits hoarded from Ollie's at least pull the store tag.
  14. Wally World only had one.......(picture plagiarized from eBay)
  15. We went Iams mini-chunks as I have an Aussie that has an allergy to a lot of the meats in dry food that she ended up getting hot spots. The mini-chunks as I also have two smaller dogs that snarf their food and it sounds like Nathan' Hot Dog eating contest. We were buying it from Sam's Club but you can get comparable prices from Chewy and not have to deal with people that ring up a cart full of stuff and then act surprised they have to PAY for it as they go searching for their debit card.
  16. 19 x 10 x 72 cabinet. The door is on the wrong side so will have to fill it and slide into place in the man cave. $11 at local auction.
  17. the Grinch is alive and well in SW Ohio.... Clermont County. Three years ago, the county outsourced the operation of the animal shelter to an organization that made it a no-kill shelter and it became a benchmark for others to copy. The organization found out on Facebook they were getting booted as the county thinks they can do it better and cheaper. Hamilton County. Reassessed the properties and tax bills are going up on average 15%. People out of work and struggling to make ends meet so lets pile on the debt.
  18. I'd say Dallas mostly this year...... NFL Team Leaderboards: Receiving NFL Passes Dropped Rank Team Passes Dropped 1 Dallas Cowboys 27 2 Pittsburgh Steelers 27 3 Detroit Lions 25
  19. On Yahoo's home page.....ESPN is expecting the Atlanta Falcons to name Marvin Lewis their next head coach!!! I'm a Buccaneers fan (back to the creamsicle jersey days.....not jumping on the TB bandwagon)....this is great news. No playoff wins in SIXTEEN seasons for the Bungals.
  20. 1966 Falcon awaiting front and back chrome. It's not the one currently on eBay but ironically missing the same pieces and same damage to the B pillar.
  21. Nowadays, it's all about seeing how much the company can gouge the customer..... Requested a bid to frame the new deck we were building (we hadn't decided on the pattern layout for the decking itself). We got a quote for over $5k to build it out including the decking Had a switch that went bad my car that I took to a dealership to get fixed. They added a charge (I think it was $20) for shop towels that was a plug and play as well as a hazmat charge. Replaced a garage door and found one I liked but no one would install it unless they sold you one too (it was the same brand) Took quotes for new roof. Mr Roof salesman was so aggressive pushing me to sign he was one sentence away from having me call 911. A second one gave me a quote & I gave him a warning I've been in commercial real estate for over 30 years and know what this should cost....they came in over $3k over the third bid who not only got the work, I gave them recommendations that lead to two more jobs. YouTube videos are the go to as they don't teach life skills in school anymore!
  22. I've limited my Funko purchases (due to space) but had to have John "Bluto" Blutarsky (pic plagiarized from the Internet). They need to do one of him in the Dean's office when the Delta's get their midterm grades..... Still a big fan of his work on SNL as well as movies so I will need to watch it
  23. Yeah...caused public school lunch flashback. Food was so bad that the students organized a brown bag boycott to get the school to change. This was over 40 years ago and it took alot to get everyone to participate back then. Now kids flip out if there's not a vegan, gluten free, non GMO option.
  24. When I bought my Genesis, I turned off all this stuff off as the horns, strobes, lights, sirens, bells, etc are annoying. I do use the backup camera as the combo of old/fat make it hard to turn around to see behind me. The wife thought I was nuts for buying the G8 out of state (it was an all day trip) for just the bun warmers......until she drove it. The Genesis has the heated steering and seats. The one that concerned the wife and I this a.m. was Petsmart delivers.....thru DoorDash. NO! I have an Aussie and she would be the one that would get tired of waiting for me to feed the foursome and somehow mess with the laptop or phone and order something.
  25. I had to Secret Santa myself as Round 2 has reissued several versions of the AMT Ford van , but the MPC version has not come back. Years ago, my sister in law told my wife that I'm very hard to buy for as if I see something I want, I just buy it. Comes from my childhood as I used to select things from Sears catalog and Santa's accuracy was on par with Shaq from the free throw line. Fast forward to a few years ago....Sam's Club has a Maisto 1/18 Nissan GT-R I wanted. The girlfriend of my oldest son had a family pass so I asked them to get it for me. That request was redirected twice and, well, I still don't have one. A couple years later, we pulled names from a bowl for Christmas in which we all put possible items for under the tree. I am a bourbon snob and one of the things I was a small bottle of Jack. I got a bigger bottle of 'bourbon' that became a quest to figure out where it came from......finally found it at WalMart. Bourbon and WalMart should not be used in the same sentence.
