Was excited to get to go to Charlotte next week for some work I’m doing, hoping that maybe it would at least be in the 60s. But NOPE! Looks like 30s for lows and highs in the 50s with rain. Beats -20, I guess.
What everyone else said. But my money is on the cartridge getting plugged with calcification, etc. They can be cleaned or replaced pretty cheaply, your area hardware store or big box store would have a replacement unless it’s a really old sink.
Agree that the Bills/Chiefs game is pretty much as good as a Super bowl and man I hope Buffalo wins. I can’t imagine anyone outside Kansas City and Taylor Swift fans disagree…
I think Washington is my new NFC team. Jamison Williams is an incredibly likeable young talent.
B-man, you should put those bait tanks/sink next to your new man kitchen.
Ah, energy drinks… I don’t drink a lot of them – but sometimes you’re on a fishing trip with your buddies who golf more than fish. You stayed up too late the night before and it’s time to start the party again the next day. You’re barley staying awake jigging walleye because that’s the only technique your golfer-turned-fishing buddies know how to do. And DANG does Monster taste yummy with Vodka! That’s when I drink energy drinks. 
How about old minds with short attention spans?
It will make you feel young again! (or at least wish you were)
Thanks for the tip. I think I’ll order this for my son to read.
Yes! this is a great one for kids to read. It’s not terribly long and very engaging for adventurous young minds.
I know a couple guys that do it, they usually collect wings and cheeks and hang on to them over a summer and cook just them up.
It’s a great way to do a big crowd appetizer if you save them up like that. Especially if you’re doing a big steak grill-out at the cabin! By Labor Day we usually have some saved up.
My favorite book – I’ve read it 2 or 3 times. It’s a great deer stand read, you can get through it in a day if the action is slow. But it’s a first-hand story of two boys becoming men and beating the odds. And Yes, Sevareid went on to have a LOT of adventures in his later career. I borrowed my copy to another hockey dad about 5 years ago, and then he and his wife got divorced and I’m not even sure where he’s at these days, but I never got it back. I’ll have to buy a new copy.
I don’t understand how a diehard fan of any team can root for a division rival to succeed. No thanks!
Ha! this is funny. Maybe I used to be this bitter but I’m just not that emotionally wrapped up in it as some, I guess. I love football – especially GOOD football. The fact that the Lions are in our division has nothing to do with it. I wouldn’t be routing for the Packers or Bears, but it’s all situational – I routed for the Chiefs when they started their run, again – a well-run franchise that deserved to succeed. But it’s time for change. The Lions redefining the game, they’re charismatic without a lot of ego (by that I mean destructive me-first personalities), they get the best out of their 3rd string guys – it’s SO rare. They deserve anything good that’s coming to them if Campbell doesn’t gamble it away – which is their biggest weakness.
A Detroit/Buffalo Super Bowl would be a great thing for the sport. Not sure who I’d route for, I have a lot of respect for both teams these last few years. Bugs me that Detroit may get a Superbowl win before the Vikes, but can’t say a lot of bad things about that team. Buffalo probably deserves it more from an historical perspective. They’ve had a some SOLID teams over the years (and some embarrassingly bad ones). Detroit’s just pretty much always sucked, except for a small glimmer during the Barry Sanders era. But it would be a breath of fresh air from a KC re-run, they’re about as annoying of the mid-2000’s-2010’s Patriots.
I like about everything and will eat too much of anything if it’s in front of me… I’m not a candy guy, but baked goods are my nemesis. Holidays are the worst, I’ll plow through cookies like it’s nobody’s business.
But as far as stuff not a lot of other people like. SPAM is a big one, for me. Cold, fried – doesn’t matter, I’ll house a block of that before my wife can say “You’re disgusting!”
I turned it off after the strip sack/TD. I have better things to spend my time on. Just the Vikings doing Vikings things – you think I’d be used to it after almost 50 years, but I’m not. I’m just used to never being used to it.
Doesn’t feel like a gameday – just feels weird and I don’t like it. Coming off an embarrassment against Detroit, the whole backdrop of the fire situation and the game in essentially a neutral spot (which might help from a fan perspective, but is just strange all-around). Will be an emotional night for everyone, but especially LA. The Rams will be motivated to play. Regardless of the game – I hope to see some type of unifying pre-game thing between the two teams. Call me sappy all you want but there are bigger things than football.
Lots of lives and property being lost out there. Lots of lives being turned upside down.
Next summer will be all about the mud slides.How many feet of snow or how many consectutive days of -20 would equal those fires?
None in terms of damaged property. May have a few furnaces go out and pipes freeze – a city or two may have some water main issues, but it wouldn’t cause widespread devastation. Even a major tornado outbreak wouldn’t come close. I think a hurricane might be the closest comparison. I hate the winter in MN more and more every year, but wouldn’t trade it for that kind of risk and a little warmth for 3 months.
My worst fear with my kids driving. Glad everyone is OK!!!
did it lay outside on the ice first?? That becthe first clue. Personally that slime doesn’t bother me. Cleaned my share of them slimers
Yes – and I know that’s about the worst thing you can do. I’ve heard a burlap bag helps a lot. I don’t spear a lot, Anyway – I don’t mean to distract from the thread – I can deal with slime, too, but I would’ve loved just to be able to hose it all down rather than have to wipe it all up. even with my big wooden board, you can only do so much with the sink sprayer before I’m covering the kitchen in slimy splatter. Need a better home set-up for the occasional bigger fish.
I haven’t been there in years, but my buddies and I used to go to Silver Rapids Lodge in Ely every year (White Iron Lake and Kawishiwi river connecting Farm and Garden Lakes). They have great camping site options, it’s crazy cheap (at least it used to be), you have dock access and you also have access to the resort amenities like a bathrooms/showers, Lodge, Bar/Grill etc.
I know the resort has been in the news lately because they want to greatly expand it into a Grand View lodge type of thing – which is sort of a polarizing issue up there. But I believe it’s still business as usual until they get that figured out. Give them a look. Great fishing! They also have a beach/swim platforms etc for kids.
Otherwise, if you want to rough it a little more. go with Kab or Namakan in Voyaguers. Just book a boat-in site and you’re golden if you don’t mind beaching your rig.
As a Vikings fan taking an objective look at things and offering a little sympathy to the enemy – we feel ya. I mean, Washington won – and I was routing for the Pack because I believe that would’ve meant a home game for us next week IF the Vikings beat the Rams.
But that game was just about a replay of Last week’s Viking’s/Lions game. Defense did all it could to keep you in it but the offense just didn’t show up. While my disdain for Green Bay is baked into my genetics, I think I hate the Eagles more. I would’ve loved to see the NFC North still have 3 teams in the playoffs after week 1.
I love the fact that teams that would have been left out of previous national championship games or 4 team “playoffs”, are the last left standing.
Agree – they finally got the playoff system right but they messed up everything else.
It’s plumbed to the sink faucet. It’s so you can give dirty hands a rinse without getting knobs bloody.
I have the pedal plumbed to the cold side (since it takes some time to get hot water to the sink anyway). Then the hot water at the sink is hand operated, and the washdown is hand/hot as well. Under the cabinet I installed a 1/4 turn ball valve if the garden nozzle ever starts dripping or needs replacement.
Awesome explanation. Now I get it. Great idea for hands-free sink control when you you’re hands are full blood and stank!
Just curious, is the “gas-pedal” there just to keep the pressure off the nozzle since those rarely seal well and always drip? Do can you lock the pedal into the “ON” position if you need to move around with the hose a little?
Yeah, sounds like the Pasedena area is getting hit pretty hard. Every time I watch the Rose Bowl it just looks like paradise. LA is a dump, but go a valley or two over and it’s incredible.
a couple blizzards, ice, and maybe some hail are all OK in my book. Beautiful area, but I wouldn’t live out there if you paid me to – and you’d have to because I can’t afford it. Hope everyone gets out safe, I would hate to live under the threat of something like that every year, let alone the anticipation of “the Big One.”
First pic is a Snowy grouper, correct? Pretty appropriate for the winter season!
They were not good in the red zone plain and simple. Play calling and inaccurate throws made it a one sided score.
Big part of it but it’s not that plain and simple. If we want to make it in the post season, we have some special teams issues to wrestle with – missed kicks aside, the kick out-of-bounds was inexcusable.
And beyond the red zone, the O-line got dominated – which is always a festering issue with us. Sam was under constant pressure and we clearly didn’t plan for Detroit to bring a blitz and trust a 2nd & 3rd string secondary in man-to-man situations. Watch for the Rams to do more of the same. We were exposed.
Big ol’ fat Sauger in that pic, Jeremy! (sorry, off topic)
But B-man, you already got the tough part taken care of with plenty of access to plumbing and wall space. Plans look good, love the idea of oversized and heavy cabinets that you wouldn’t hesitate to put a 15 lb. meat grinder or big sausage stuffer in. I seem to see plenty of used stainless tables of all varieties on FB Marketplace for sale – usually for a pretty reasonable price. Not sure if your current situation is up-to-code (or if you care) but I believe any outlet in proximity to a water source needs to be on a GFI circuit. Easy enough to switch it over if it’s not already.
Keep us updated on the progress!
