Caleb definitely is looking like everything as advertised and then some, and we’re just scratching the surface. That’s because, only the Bears would try to take a talent like him and make him their “system” guy, vs. playing to his talents. Almost did that with Shane Waldron til we came to our senses and canned him. I like the new OC, Thomas Brown and how he’s played to Caleb’s strengths and let him play much freer these last two games against the Packers and Vikes. But we need to get rid of Eberflus. Hopefully tomorrow (assuming Lions beat us), and let Brown be the HC for rest of season as a try out. Or hire an offensive minded HC for next season who can work closely with Caleb and bring him along, work through the inevitable rookie/year 2 mistakes and maximize his potential long term.

But…we are the Bears. We’ll f@#$ it up somehow!

I scuffed up a new Mercury cowling a few years back when I forgot to remove the ski pole before trimming the motor up (what an idiot). Took the cowling to a friend’s body shop and he had it wet sanded, buffed up and looking like new in 20 minutes. I’d start there before trying to paint it. Good luck.

Fiber optic cable just came available up at our cabin in the UP. It’s fantastic. Super fast. As good if not better than our Comcast service outside of Chicago.
