Rodgers would love that! And cash in on that Ney York money.

I think he can still win another super bowl if he has a championship defense. He is still a good game manager.

I would have to share a comment in regards to Packers Defense. They did well on the home stretch and corrected a lot of mid season mistakes including on the special teams. My issue is and always has been the Offensive line for not protecting the pocket or QB to give more time to the QB. Just my 2 cents. David Bakhtiari has been a thorn in my side with him always being on the injured list and then playing mediocre at best.
 
Afternoon all,

Meetings done for today. Tomorrow I get to assist moving off our Exchange server and onto Microsoft's 365 email. They spent an hour going over with me how I change accounts, assign licenses, etc. So far everything is looking good. Once we get the email moved, we'll have to get everyone back on with Outlook instead of just webmail. It will be busy, but shouldn't be hard.

Not going to make the daughter change the outlet. Something she can razz her old man about!!! 🤣

Troy: Bulging disks are no fun. Mine is in the neck (between C6 and C7) and can really bother me at times. Especially at night when my left arm goes numb. PT has helped a bunch.

I agree, a top-notch offensive line is also necessary.

Back when I was working we had a learning experience about not hurting your back when lifting. The instructor asked us what is the best way to avoid hurting your back when you lift. So I answered "get someone else to do it." They did not see the humor in that.

Good Morning All. Raining lightly and 50° right now. Thunder in the distance. It won't get much warmer today, 57°, but the rain for now appears to be almost over and I doubt that I could measure the amount in my rain gauge.
Yesterday was another beautiful day at 76°, partly sunny and no wind. Knowing that it was probably going to be wet today, I mostly did stuff in the yard. I consolidated several piles of brush for eventual shredding and cut & stacked another week's worth of firewood. Wanted to do a little hoeing in the garden to break the surface crust and pre-eliminate stray weeds, but it was still just a little wet from the 3" of rain last Thursday.

Yesterday out in the train shed, I mainly continued on with the ground cover/concrete painting that I have been doing for a while. Lots of progress although it also doesn't seem like it. I did pause long enough to snap a few progress shots.

I also have done some painting on the four loading platforms, including safety yellow paint on the stairs and concrete color on the bases.

I also made more than a few laps with the covered hopper that had been derailing, now that I added more weight. Many laps at varyiing speeds with no derailments. Today I will reverse the travel direction to ensure that I truly fixed the issue. It was already up to the NMRA recommendation, now it is about 1/3oz over.

Mike -

Like you, if scrapple is the only thing served, I could eat it, but I certainly don't go to the grocery store looking for it!
Tom O -

Are you saying that there is no good political news???
Hmmmh! I would be apprehensive about that tax firm too. If they want you to file an extension this early, they're either too inexperienced to do the return, or too busy to give you the attention that is required. Maybe both!
Have a very safe trip.

I headed out to the rain gauge a few minutes ago, and surprisingly it had 0.5" in it. So I checked the Weather Underground and found out that I had slept through an earlier rain event that provided most of the total.
Every one have a great day.

I'd be ecstatic if I could get my ground cover to even look remotely like your's, but I can't, so I'll keep trying anyway, I'm told miracles do happen. :)

Does anyone have a suggestion for a craftsman model RR magazine?

Railroad Model Craftsman is the best Model Railroad magazine out there. Lots of good quality articles.

Just got an estimate for $475 + tax for yard clean-up and leaf removal...last year, when I still had the truck, I filled up 20 55 gallon bags with Oak leaves, not counting the ones I left at the curb for the township pick-up. Got another estimate coming on Saturday...Price included removal/disposal.

Not surprising that once Rogers career began its decline, the Jets would decide they wanted him...

I don’t believe the statisical year he had is any indication he had a bad year. What he had was a lousy team and IMO worst coaches.

I truly believe he had a good year but his receivers for the 1st 7 games didn’t show up. His offense line, once the hallmark of Packer teams was a joke.

I am tired of his off season antics. Is he coming back or not? 3 years in a row of Thant question is tiring. He is not giving up $115 million in guaranteed money over the 2 seasons.

He definitely can get a team to the conference championship game.

i don’t think the New York endorsements mean that much to him. He’s already a huge Wisconsin commercial success along with his multiple national commercials. Supposedly worth 400-500 million and part owner of the Milwaukee Bucks that 40% is selling for 4 billion, he owns 10% of the team.

If we put stoves, refrigerators, old grills out on the curb they will be gone in less than a half hour. The scrappers have a 6th sense.
