Anyone care to give a drama-free synopsis of what went wrong at tonight's game?
I don't need to hear that "they didnt care/didn5 want it enough, or that were in free fall and won't win another game this season.
I'll hang up and listen...

Well I was going to say this but you got there first.

I'll add there's something behind the scenes and concerns.

Make sure to get your materials quickly if you have any upcoming construction projects. To grow my business, I’ve been working on a significant project over the last couple of years, starting with informing and getting approval from my neighbors, securing financing, and dealing with the DNR.

My contractor informed me that the contract price must increase due to a major rise in material costs. We finalized our deal before the tragic fires, and they wanted the material costs to be set at the time of purchase. I told them to lock me in, as prices could go down but could also go up. I made a down payment and insisted they secure the materials when they felt it was right.

My wife redlined their contract, and their attorney contacted her. They met, and the contractor amended the agreement, which we both signed.

Tomorrow, I’m gonna sic my wife on them.

On another note, there are a couple of things that will increase costs per the contract, and I'm fine with that as we both need to adhere to it. Ugh.

I can’t remember if I had posted this so I apologize if I have.

We recently decided to start using our wood fireplace. Unfortunately it isn’t set up to be a real heat source as there are no fans or such to circulate the air around the firebox and push the warm air out more. Going to continue investigating solutions but for now I will just lay in front of it

Not exactly sure.

Put one of these infront of the fire place.

How out of touch is Boxster with pro sports? Was leaving the gym late afternoon today and overheard some people talking about their kids being bummed out about the Vikings loss on Monday. And, it was news to me.

So, yeah, I watch zero local TV news and don't follow the Vikings or pro football unless maybe Purdy is/was playing.
I have a soft boycott of the NFL going (basically if it’s on at someone else’s I’ll watch, but otherwise won’t follow it or watch) and thought it would be difficult since the packers are so big in Wisconsin. I was surprised with how easy it is to tune it out.

Shot 1-16 from three and had 14 turnovers.
If you are still looking for a synopsis, this is about it.

We played sloppy. We really missed Milan. Gilbert, Heise and Lipsey didn't step up and make their shots.

Also, Small from WV had a ridiculous shot-making game.

Also also, the camera guy showed a long-haired blond kid with a head band way too much.

Just spent almost 2 hours in the passenger seat trying to teach 14 yo daughter how to drive….

It's a challenge but we found that it's better for me to do it than my wife. She gets even more nervous, gives way too many instructions and caused the kids to have way too much stress.

It's a bit brisk. Tonight will be fully brisk.
I get to move my daughter back in to her dorm tonight. At least it's just the stuff she brought home for the break.

Evidently, somebody in her dorm has been bringing homeless people into their dorm frequently. This does not seem wise.

I watched the end of the Rams game yesterday because they were playing in the snow. Caught most of the last two minutes because it was on a big TV hanging from the ceiling in the big weight room at LifeTime. Game caught my eye because of the snow and snow's cool so watched between sets because the one minute between sets is sort of boring. And Rams couldn't pull if off.

Already forgot who they were playing. :rolleyes:
