two missed balk calls on that lefty
It looked like that to me almost every time he threw to 1st. In any event the 20+ minutes on the replays were way too long but for once we are getting calls like that. And YES, THESE GUYS ARE REALLY GOOD!

Canada has a myriad of issues
Therein was the problem, as other teams found out. One thing I thought was Drink’s problem last year was he didn’t use Jaysam as efficiently as he could have. Dayes presence in the previous season also played into that. Nines was good but Dayes was much, much better and that allowed Jaysam to be a bigger threat since the defense had to keep an eagle eye on Dayes also. The obvious things that cause fits for a defense is more diverse weapons on offense (rules of war).

Put in 500 hills of Serendipity on good Friday. Waiting another 2 weeks to put in some more for staggered crop. Bill, what was that asian bean you were talking about?

Ummmm, tex I think, and it’s only my opinion, while we didn’t knock Clemson off we did send both da ville and the semiholes packing this year. The year before if we had a kicker Clemson wouldn’t have gotten that natty perhaps. Couple that with the Ref ripoff by the domers this year and we were very close. Since 2001 by the middle of the season I knew we didn’t have a chance. Like I said in my previous post, look at the recruits we got this year. I’ve never seen that since I started following recruiting classes. Yeah, we got a blue chipper or two from time to time but the rest were never all 3 stahs and above. By some services we had 5 four stars, FIVE! I LIKE IT!

3) Place kicking will be better
The glaring hole. Dang, I sure hope so.
Did anyone happen to notice just how many 4 stahs we landed in this class? Or for that matter how many 2 stahs and less we DIDN’T have. Most of the sites I saw had everyone of our recruits as 3 and above. CTC never did that, TOB NEVER EVER came close. Say what you wish but there are some things you cannot coach up and genetics is one of them and a goodly portion of those kids with the stahs also have the genetics. Football mindset is another. You can teach and you can train and you can body build but those go only so far. And the higher the starting point the greater the end result. A few of those kids will probably turn out like Chubb, a monster, and that is how you compete with Clemson and FSU, and how you continue to stomp UNX year after year. DILLY, DILLY!

The Pack 9 atop the ACC. Conference Top 5 finish in Basketball, really good finish in football, other sports doing REALLY well, and now the boys of spring look like they could be something really special. Has anyone seen the list of statistical leaders in the conference. A LOT of Pack players on that list. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO! We got us a convoy! A good time to be a Pack fan, at least from my view point.

Did anyone notice that zone D looked very familiar. And they play it really well. If FSU wins tonight I’m taking LOC, hopefully the spread will be kind. I’ll say this their path to the final could be magical.

Second childhood? Some of my favorite memories was playing with toy trucks/tractors/etc. in the dirt. Now days the tractor is just bigger.

Caring for a parent is one of the most honorable things a person can do. I take it she passed away recently. If so from all of us, our condolences.

Tractor, I have 4 total. Two are 16 X 4 and made out of railroad ties. I just finished building a greenhouse over them (something I had planned from the start). The sides come off of it and it will be my mater beds this year. That way I can close it up in the fall and continue having fresh maters deep into the fall. The other 2 are 4 X 40 and originally were just mounded 2 ft high beds. Last year I bounded the tops with 2 X 6s. That made it a lot easier for them to retain water since before they just had sort of a mound of dirt around the perimeter. I’ll never do it another way again.
I originally had a 50 X 75 row based garden. Could never keep it watered when it was really dry and had tons of things that just overwhelmed me with maintaining it. My methods now I love! The only stuff I grow from seed in the beds themselves is corn. After it pops up I treat the beds with Preen (trifluralin) and I have no weeds. Sparse grasses have popped up but they are easy to pull. Every thing else is grown from seedlings germinated in plant trays which now I have plenty of room for. I have Texas Bluebonnets germinating right now (my wife wanted them after a trip to Texas). Those will be in her raised FLOWER bed. I also have a raised herb garden bed.

Had many friends that went the straw bale route and loved the results but that didn’t work for me. Plus on the back end you have to find a way to dispose of them. I wound up using them as part of my raised beds and they added volume and airspace. YMMV.

Sorry missed your question about replants, when the corn is done I plant turnips, greens (various), shallots, onions, scallions. Love arugula, broccoli, spinach and brussel sprouts.

BOTB,
Okra and Cukes work in there. Also purple hull crowders for me. The corn is Serendipity (bi color and REALLY sweet), YUM YUM YUM. Corn is really packed tight, 4 rows six inches apart and staggered 6 inches. Cukes, peas and beans love ’em for climbing. Only problem is cukes can sometimes hide and next thing ya know you have a dirigible on your hands. Squash is zucchini, yellow, blue hubbard and acorn. My beds run east to west and plant the corn on the north side, everything else on the south half. I run 3/4 pvc with tiny holes for DIY surface irrigation right down the middle of the corn. When it’s about 2 feet high I slip some liquid fertilizer in there and everything in those two beds jump.Smarter than the average bear

Bill, my two big raised beds are of the indian mound variety, the three sisters with a few more thrown in, all compatible veggies. Been doin that for 3 years. The white stuff is up to 2 inches. The commute from rawlee today was almost two hours with 10 wrecks (two upside down) thrown in. I’m just hope’in the roof on my new greenhouse holds up. First it was 40 mph gales now the snow. I’m ’bout tired of this junk.

are best couched in terms of strange variables called “twistors,” and particle interactions can be captured in a handful of associated twistor diagrams
They misnamed it… it should be twisters! Anyway, that article made my head hurt. Add vertical time to that and I say “hand me that foil hat”

My costs with Dish went up 5 bucks this year due to some increased costs associated with local broadcasts and a few cable channels. that is the first price increase I’ve had in the last 10 years for my “service”. I did upgrade 2 years ago to a new base unit, which dish did not charge me for the upgrade and it allows me to record 16 channels at once (plus an over the air channel so 17 recorders) and prime time TV for all 4 networks. It’s DaBomb. No one else has a dvr with that many recorders.
I left Direct many years ago because they refused to give me a break on new equipment when they were giving that equipment away for new customers. With dish the most I ever paid for an upgrade was 25 bucks when they came out with the DVR recievers and that because I wanted two of them (one for me, one for the wife). When I upgraded to the single 16 channel DVR my bill actually went down by 10 bucks due to having only 1 recorder vs. 2. Compare the prices between dish and direct. You may win on that “first year” but you will more than pay for it on the back end, and the 2 year contract per year coasts will be more than dish. I’ve done the math on that one more times than I care to admit and every time dish came out ahead. That’s why I’ve been with them for over 14 years.

Stephen Hawking just came up with the answer to every thing. Before the big bang (and the start of our universe) time wasn’t horizontal, it was vertical. Yep, that’s it, time wasn’t horizontal.

I-4 is a madhouse all it’s own. I ain’t fond of the drive to rawlee through the Clayton bypass (talk about STOOOOOPID, thanks DOT) but it’s got nuttin’ on that I-4 train wreck. The few times I’ve been through there over the past 15 – 20 years I am surprised they don’t have a road rage shootin everyday.
