Yes it’s nice to see the Whitetail in the yard in the fall.
I actually have them coming in my yard throughout the year.
One mama with two little ones as well as another mama with a single and when I’m in the backyard with the dog the little ones actually walk up curious if our dog is a new playmate.

They are so used to us being in the backyard it doesn’t bother them. We have seen various bucks somewhat substantial racks.

Just be careful not to give them that “candy” corn too late into the season as once they start switching over their diet it can be harmful cause bloat and rumen acidosis which can be deadly.

My 4str mercury which is a bit older 2004 acted very similar as well and it wasn’t even part of that service bulletin and it would start right up and idle for a while as soon as you put the coils under a rpm load she would start chugging , and then finally die. Some days it would run fine until all of a sudden it didn’t then I finally figured it out. It’s definitely on my experience turned out being a hairline crack in one of the coil packs.

If you haven’t done so yet definitely do a quick compression check to make sure a cylinder or truth and drop out.
Unlikely but still worth a check

be sure to check the coils.
Mercury did have a service bulletin out and they actually ended up paying/replacing a lot of coils for people.
But I believe that has now since expired.

You could even Google mercury coils and your symptoms are very familiar, at first they likely had reduced performance and then the problem becomes intermittent and it’s usually a slight crack or other in the coil that is also affected by ambient temperature with thermal expansion contraction

KJ Osborn to the patriots one-year deal

Thus far I’m liking some of these moves for the Vikings to be competitive this year, realistically I think they should unload Danielle Hunter, while he’s good this team has been cash-strapped for long enough especially considering the money wasted on the cousins experiment.

Yep, off to Atlanta four year deal and the Vikings were not looking or considering four years.

But I think Kirk cousins can’t do anything until Wednesday at the earliest

180 million, 50 million signing bonus, 100 million guaranteed.
It’s a business and it’s a money grab and I can’t blame him

Yep, you gotta take the points when they are there, that is maximizing each possession in a championship must win game.
The anguish for the lion fans will be painful for a while.

I like being aggressive. But at some point it crosses the line. I think Detroit should have kicked both of those field goals. Mainly because it just gives too much momentum to the opposing team to come away with zero points multiple times like that.

I stand corrected, it was a season to forget and I have

I believe the vikings beat the 49’er with Doobs and also without JJ.
Just saying

Great season pack
That last pass reminds the gunslinger himself.
Killed many of season doing that for the pack & Vikings

GREAT the season is Over – Now to watch the Bears, hope they send the Packers packing.

It was just a matter of time for Mullens to chalk up one more int to his stats. 391 yards and untimely turnovers again.

Where is the sense of urgency here with under six minutes left in the game down by 10 and not even at the 50 yet

A little bit of dual threat mobility that Dobbs brings could helping this game, Lions don’t know his speed.
Meanwhile KOC lucked out that fourth down in less than a yard TD to JJ makes little sense when all you need to do is keep moving the sticks. It got 7 nonetheless.

edit:
What the heck has happened to the D, I understand missing a couple corners but this is just sick

Take Mullens out of the game…

KOC Chandler is getting over 7 yards per carry average you are gonna go for a fourth down pass to a return man.
I’m not totally against going for it on fourth down but those 3 points were valuable

Losing LaPorta for the playoffs will be a huge for the Lions…

while I don’t wish to see players get injured, it’s almost like Karma after the cheap shot hockenson took two weeks ago.

JJ is going to blow a gasket and want to leave the team before the game ends.
Can’t blame him

Time to find a different game to watch, just so painful watching. KOC looks on the sideline remind me of the dumbfounded looks of Dennis Green years ago, except Green would have his hands on his hips

Mullens lol
The death of the 1st drive was on him with the delay
Just give the ball to Dobbs, he is the only backup to actually win a game or two.

All I can say was Hall had no business being in that game as a starter. Not sure what KOC saw this past week to make that decision. But in true Vikings franchise fashion if you’re gonna get embarrassed do it on the big stage. On the bright side today we don’t have to sit there and say next year.

Those were NOT fans of the game, I want to see healthy team matchups.
They may think they are vikings fans

No reason to gloat, we remember the Anthony Barr hit on Rogers and what the the packer season was like after that for you guys.

Soft D zone and nobody wants to actually tackle.
All aspects of the team a total fail on the same day your playoff destiny was put back into your hands.

A fitting end to a disaster of the season.

Not once this season being blown out, imagine being trounced by the Packers on your last home game, let that sink in for the whole off-season.

Not sure why any more, it’s like they have given up already.
Again, ugly, Hall is garbage thus far

At this point it’s time to put Dobbs back in there and rotate him with Mullins and it won’t matter if this defense can’t stop anybody.

This is like the 1st or 2nd week of the season defense.
They are playing very timid nonaggressive.
Way too much soft zone as well

That with poor offense, they be in trouble

This is ugly, For all those that wanted to see Hall, there you have it.
This is a must game rotate QBs if you must

While I don’t see the Vikings or Packers making any type of deep post season run. This is great for player development, meaningful football in playoff type games with the playoffs just a couple wins away.
It is something that grows character win or lose.

Now Steelers 30-20 with under 5 minutes remainning,
Would have been nice to see them punch one of these last two into the end zone.

edit:
Vikings control their playoff hopes now, win two and punch that ticket.

Steelers currently up in Seattle 24-17, third quarter.

Ram’s took advantage of NYG giving the game away, some teams just know how to jump on a opportunity given to them.

Meanwhile any post season play for the vikings needs to win these last two games, AND One of these to happen
Steelers win today vs Seattle
Cards win next week vs Seattle
49ers win next week vs Rams 49ers nothing to play gain

Be nice to make it and not see another 4th & 8 3-yard failed pass
What a disaster of a season.
