Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition

[NWICY]

Wow between the BB threads and the cave there are lot of angry people on CF. I think I have to become more selective in my thread reading.

Does no one realize that we can't do boo about either one? Well the cave you can do something by voting but BB just hope for the best.

Well that ends my complaint list.

I just revisited a couple MBB threads, some of these folks won't be satisfied (I was going to type the word "happy", but that's not true) until Steve Prohm is dead and buried.

And probably not then unless his head is cut off, his mouth stuffed with garlic, and a stake driven through his heart!!

Can't be too careful!

Chaser a few posts back you mentioned sharpening chains. Do you just file them or do you have a better way? My dad got one of those tip covers that you push up against something and it sort of grinds them off haven't used it yet. I've just always used a file on them.

That must take forever to sharpen one chain

I think I did 20 20 inch chains in 4 hours.

Props to my fellow RTTers who brought some sanity and reason to the Pollard thread.

Solving some 1st world problems here in 2020. Our home internet was painfully s l o w and with hubby working from home, we could not do much of anything while he was working. We have 3 iPads, 3 phones, 4 Alexa devices plus trying to stream workouts on an exercise bike. We got about 5 Mbps out of whatever we were supposed to be getting. Switched providers and now up to over 400 Mbps. Hallelujah

Now I just need to figure out why my phone is getting less than 1Mbps on LTE service. It may be due to them upgrading towers, but I would switch to LTE at home to try and be online/stream workout videos and I would get like .3Mbps

You’re not the Peloton couple are you?

@WooBadger18 Back to back road wins vs ranked opponents. Did not see that happening.

Edit: Forgot Tennessee isn't ranked anymore.

Forecast called for 1 inch, got 4-6.....

Ha—Nope. We have a NordicTrack, not Peloton. And hubby bought it for both of us, but lately he has been the primary user. Now that Christmas is over, once I get these kids back to school I will use it more.

Taking a look across the Missouri River, their king ain't doing so well. (If that's who you mean)

Always a winner with "The Sandlot" gif.

I'm guessing your not referring to me.

Halfway between Ames and Hwy 20 roads turn to poo. Looking forward to the drive to Mn at 5 am tomorrow. NOT.

Drake UNI WBB game was sort of fun even though Uni got rolled hard. Went with Simpson niece we both like to watch random hoops. I really thought that game was going to be tighter than it was.
