After further consideration...

GET THEE BEHIND ME, SATAN!
I seen these big shots all come and go
Been there myself and there's one thing I know
You got to choose your heroes, choose them well
They could be leading you straight into hell
Let me be your protection
Keep the vampires off your neck
Sample your wine and
Stay so near that you'll never have a thing to fear
Get thee behind me Satan
Big as a mountain, strong as a diamond
Rock love
Bright as a nova burning forever
Rock love
Close as a heart beat, free as the water
Rock love
Get thee behind me Satan
I see the same damn faces in the news
Taking up sides when there ain't nothing to choose
I think their game is just designed to confuse
They cut the pie up and the rest of us lose
Let me be your adviser
Keep the monkeys off your back
Figure your taxes
Stay up all night making sure that everything is right
Get thee behind me Satan
It seems like only yesterday
Remember when I used to say
I knew we'd be in vogue someday
Rock love is love and not fade away
Lord you got to rock on
Got to rock steady
Spinning on the rock of love
Can you feel it
Hard as a rock, strong as a rock
Put your hands on the rock
You've got the rockin' steady now
I looking for a life like the rock

 
Working on yet another DR test. Client set this up and didn't think about setting up access for their own users.

I was really going more for the Luke 4:8a(kjv) vibe...
 
Anybody here a member of the alumni association? What’s the perks again? Is it just a donation? I was awhile ago and that seemed the extent of it.
 
Photo composition is everything.
And just to play off your tag line: it looks like a red wine night to me.

Supposedly you get some discounts and stuff like that, but I've never collected on any of them. Bought a lifetime membership many yrs ago. @BoxsterCy can fill you in better I would think.
 
Laramie Wy to home was a long pull yesterday easy driving though. Took off last Wed to meetings in Ks., then went through S. Colorado, came up through Sand dunes national monument (meh it was ok). Sun was fun bike down Vail Pass, then did a fair amount of biking down forest service roads ended up in Keystone. Ended up with about 40 miles for the day but it was a ton of fun. Not Boxster fitness riding but some pretty bouncy downhill semi-improved rock/sand-gravel roads then a long run on a gravel switching to paved run back into town.

Most biking in the area seems to be done on road bikes using the large selection of biking trails/paths along with bike lanes on roads. Actually only only saw 2 other fat bikes and not even that many mountain bikes.

Mt Evans Co. was really neat, highest paved road in the U.S. I learned that 14,000+ ft doesn't leave me with a a lot of lung capacity, the plan was to bike down it, but my copilot said Nope to driving down the road it was pretty narrow with no guard rails etc... Oh well it was still a neat experience.

North of Cheyenne Wy is a decommissioned Peacekeeper command pod called Quebec 1 it has been turned into state park, it was a cool bit of Cold War history.

Good eats category goes to The Bakers' Brewery Silverthorne Co excellent food and pretty good beer, both at really fair prices. Their baked in house bread is outstanding. Altitude brewing in Laramie takes 2nd, little pricier but their salad croutons just dissolved in your mouth like cheesy, garlicy puffs of goodness. Slaps BBQ in KC gets the convenience award for being only 2 blocks of the interstate tried the brisket and sausage it was good, but took 3 bones of ribs to go for supper and that was the winner of my picks there even eating them cold. Computer froze up Mon. so that's why I totally disappeared.
 
Amazeballs! Ordered a museum type storage box from Amazon yesterday, thought my dad's old WWII letters deserved something better than an old shirt box from the 1940's. Came today with just the shipping label on the shrink wrapped box itself and not shipped as a box inside another shipping box!

It's incredible how some people still think they didn't take the visiting team's equipment trucks into consideration when designing the North End Zone

You mean they aren't just going to pull it into JTS and park it right there on the sideline?!?

At times I think they could post the full set of contract drawings and people would still question every move they make. It's like they forget that, believe it or not, they've hired professionals to design and build these projects within a clearly defined scope, schedule, and budget. It'll be a blast when they start doing the walkway to see how those critiques go (my guess is they don't even mobilize in until towards the end of the season).
 
got my cpap machine today. also was relayed some information from my sleep study. A normal person stops breathing 5 times in an hour while sleeping. My study found my breathing was stopping 102 times in a hour in my sleep.

Good on you for getting it taken care of. A guy that camped with us at Oshkosh has it BAD but from what I can tell refuses to do anything about it. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even go to the doctor. Far right wing conspiracy type. When up there we generally sleep with ear plugs because well sleeping with 40k people isn't necessarily the quietest not to mention the interstate if you are near that or the outdoor movies that generally last until 11 or so most nights. They are 100% a necessity when around him or you will not sleep.

Woah, that's like every 40 seconds or so. You will feel 20 years younger once you get used to that machine with the better sleep you will get.
 
Well, I guess I have two extra cheap season tickets now. Daughter and her bf both got season tickets. I had ordered a couple of the cheaper season tickets in case they didn't. May look to see if I can sell them and flip them to 3 BB season tickets. Any regulars want to buy them I will sell them at face value to you, or I will be seeing if I can pay for them with the UNI and Iowa tickets. I do need to sell them as a pair since I don't think I can sell one very easily.
