Siding is pretty easy and quick once you get the first couple rows on. How tall is the house? More height is the worst part.

Just a ranch home. I told him yesterday that it would probably be best to get each side started and once he got up about 3 feet, where all the electric and other stuff goes in it would be quick. I mentioned that since that would make it easier for me to finish if I had to. Instead he actually finished one side and left one wall to start. So he has 2 done, and 5 started with one to go.

Should have gotten your input when the concessions manager was asking for food ideas for the tourney. They tried Casey’s breakfast pizza one year but had a lot left over. They were going to do cinnamon rolls this morning and pulled pork sandwiches for lunch. Our usual “real food” is hot dogs, walking tacos, nachos grande (basically a walking taco on nacho chips), and teriyaki chicken sandwiches.

Feed the parents. Most teams will make all the meals for themselves. I cooked 10 pounds of sausage for breakfast burritos for today. Thankfully, I didn't buy the other stuff for them and we can probably just freeze the sausage and get it out for when we do have to make them again. I was also supposed to buy ham and buns for 100 sandwiches, waited last minute and they cancelled out before. I can eat ham all day long so that wouldn't have bothered me.

BTW, the breakfast burritos were my signature breakfast for the last several years. Now everyone does it and I thought about trying something different but they won't let me.

Update from Ames: slushy sleety snow-rain. 35 degrees. You don’t want a pic.

Hired a guy to side moms house. Lost his job so I pulled it from a contractor to help him out. Said it would be done 11/15 no matter what, well it is far from that. Been putting in a few hours here and there the last couple days. Now has a little done all the way around the house but one back side. It will make the house look a whole lot better. With mom pushing 88, I figured a few bucks would make the house seem so much nicer down the road and help a friend at the same time.

Says he is lining up jobs and will probably move after first of the year. Son is doing the building trades class in school, I told him to pay close attention to the siding job. I may need any help I can get come January.

Was walking the neighborhood about a week ago and guys were shingling a house. It was in the teens. Shingling is summer work so the shingles are flexible, bond and lie nicely. To make it worse they were the cheap thin white shingles and it totally looked like crap. I assume they must have been friends or family cause they were not even Hispanic guys and all the pros here are Hispanic.

What else do you get besides the "dumb" reaction?

Status, however.........

You know me well enough to know I don't care about status...but that "dumb" reaction icon is wonderful!

Looking at the radar, driving over for the game probably wasn't one of my better decisions. I think most of my life has been based on "not one of my better decisions"

I can do cold. I can do snow. I can NOT do cold rain. Not without massive pain meds.

Games like this are for the younger fans.

No more rain, come on out! (Just ignore the slush and puddles.)

Don't agree. Some people can now pay in order to have an icon others don't have and one that wisely got deleted in past upgrades. Besides, I like the "tool" because it's subtle enough that the real tools don't know they got tooled.

And....we have ice falling from the sky

 

[BCClone]

roads complete ice here. Now giant snowflakes falling. Have cyclone tv turned on waiting for the game.

Yeah? Then what's that stuff I see falling out of the sky outside my window?

I've done cold games before, but if I get wet, it just soaks into my bones and I'm in pain for most of the game. I love the team, but I just can't do that any more.

You have a point. However, I would like to be able to call some of y'all dumb at times.

Made one post and than turned the game off too.

I hate our fans some times.

I can imagine it's pretty awful. These guys are just kinda sleepwalking through this game.

That and a combination of apparently none of the posters in there have ever played a football game in ****** weather conditions.

How are you doing in the wet/cold/rain/snow/wind?

I told Lew I feel really guilty after seeing the stands, but I know I'd pay for it if we were there.
