Sorry I haven't been in here lately, guys, but I hope everyone is doing well!

Welcome back Woo, did you attend the Badger game? If so what went wrong just bad breaks? Hows the law business? Do you have a GF yet?

Just so you don't think your getting questioned too much I've been working in Minny, went to a game watch with Boxster and Pants and go to Kansas for work next, and worked on my own stuff till dark tonight up a 5:30 tomorrow to get some stuff done before other stuff starts.

Made my first sale today. Designed, built, and delivered an end table to fit over a dog kennel.

Pics? sounds pretty cool.

I did! and we just got outplayed. Our defense did ok, but definitely not great, and our offense just couldn't get moving. I'd kind of compare it to the Iowa State-Oklahoma game last year in that while Oklahoma was probably the better team, Iowa State just outplayed them. It was the same thing here. Wisconsin's the better team, but BYU just flat-out outplayed us.

And it's going well! I'm learning a lot and enjoying it. And not yet. I've been on a few dates with different girls but nothing that's turned into anything serious yet. But it's been good.

And wow, you've been really busy then

NW condolences about going to Kansas.

A/C update. We spent Friday night in a hotel and last night at my wife’s grandparents. Tonight we decided to gamble and turn it back on. Took a long time but it got it down to where it should be. Just going to keep a close eye on it and hope for the best.

Packers/Vikings game neither teams fans left overjoyed probably. If your a Packer fan at least they didn't lose. If your a Vikes fan your probably hoping they try out kickers this week.
Well at least @SCyclone had a beautiful day for a game.

You turned the AC off for a few days and now it worked?
Was it running constantly before?

As a Vikings fan I look at the fact that they missed 3 field goals, had a punt blocked for a touchdown and Treadwell dropping passes when they counted most and ended up in a tie.

It was barely keeping up Thursday night so we had someone check it out on Thursday. He cleaned some stuff that I couldn't get to which helped but said the thermal expansion valve was also broken which may take a week or more to get in. He said that if we ran it we would risk freezing it up doing more damage to the system. Last night we gave in and gave it a shot and it has been keeping up fairly well (once it finally got caught up).

My thought is that if it starts freezing we will notice it not keeping up, blowing warm air and the condensation drain will not be draining anything so if we keep an eye on that stuff we should be able to stop it before it does too much damage to the system. Fingers crossed.

When making spaghetti, do you mix the noodles and sauce together or leave them seperate?
I leave them seperate so I can put the amount of sauce on I want, and leftover noodles with butter and asparagus is good. GF mixes together. Who is correct?

This is the kind of mistake you are currently allowed to make. Once you get married, just realize that you are always wrong.


(By the way, I think you're right but if your wife says you're wrong, you're wrong)

so along these lines, and hijacking to baby stuff again - how is it that babies struggle to get out liquid poop? If adults had liquid poop they could never leave the bathroom. Makes no sense.

This is a highly underrated question/observation.

I missed the game since I was coaching my fifth graders football team. I coach defense. Don't like the offense we run, its a square peg round hole situation all the way around with that. Defense I just roll with the skills each has and make it work. Try to make it similar to JH and HS set up. Actually this year, the HS has come closer to what i do, which is more modern. (The old DC was pushed out by the doctor due to heart problems at 75).

After Saturday at the game and yesterday on the field, I'm pretty crispy. I was the odd ball telling everyone to get the helmets off and get water every chance they could. Other coaches come from the old HS coach who believes you need to earn water breaks. I'm of the other side that believes hydration is critical. He also believes always having your helmets on makes you tougher, I believe it just makes you hotter.

Ours never struggled. They'd just wrinkle their forehead a little, and up the back it came.

First almost full game I have watched in years. It was pretty entertaining for an NFL game. Just don't do NFL anymore. Teams are all the same for the most part. Change uniforms and no one would notice. Boring.

I leave them separate, but I've seen on some cooking shows, they will mix. I happen to like a few other things on mine than others, so I let everyone make their own choices. Kind of like, when someone pre-dresses the salad. What if I didn't want italian??

I used to love Italian dressing, then I switched to french. Lately I've migrated to the thousand Island camp.

so, similar to how we did well in bball when I sat in a bathroom........OU kept scoring when I'd go to change baby. IDK how to get around that one.

Looks like some potty training is in order. That or we lose to OU for the next 3 years.

My dad and hubby got to be on the sidelines of the ISU game on Sat, hubby came home a little crispy too. My dad took a pic of the field thermometer reading 102.

Players don’t do you much good if they are dehydrated and sick on the field, what a crappy attitide especially for 5th graders. Poor things.

Went to our HS football game on Friday (mainly because the ISU Band was performing). The opposing team kicks off at the beginning of the game and on the return one of our players dislocated his fibula and broke his fibula. Ouch. First half of the game ended up taking 90min.

JFC, those guys are total ******* morons! That is the kind of profound idiocy that kills people. Seriously, how can you even coach with people this ******* stupid. They are just ******* wasting their brains if they cannot think and learn any better than that and they have no goddamn business coaching kids.


Note: Super sore point with Boxster, crazy hot button stuff for me, no pun intended.

My basenjis liked their spaghetti without sauces. So there!

And flashback for me of Sasha slurping single long strands of the noodles called spaghetti.
