I got out and back home just fine. There's some standing water in places, but the route I took was along higher ground too. There's a lot of flooding all over the state; and flood watches/warnings have been extended through the weekend already. Aaaaand now the wind is getting strong. Saturated soils + High winds = downed trees and power outages. Usually we get this stuff in November. Mother Nature is running late! The good news? It is unseasonably warm....feels like spring.

It's about to get real. They're predicting HEAVY rain, triggering massive floods and landslides. Many areas are already flooding, and they're saying this is just the beginning. It's all good at my home, but I have some traveling to do, and it might be difficult to maneuver around the road closures....and the roads that aren't closed, but should be.

Yes, you're right. I was thinking of Okinawa instead of Iwo Jima. Got my names mixed up.

Whelp, we have flooding, mud slides, road closures, and power outages now. And the wind knocked over the downtown tree: And we have another, more potent storm rolling in tonight.

Those fumbles....back-to-back fumble/re-fumbles. That's gotta be some kind of Trivial Pursuit record. The Colts...2 weeks ago I was thinking the Hawks didn't have a shot against them. Now that all the defensive players are healthy, and the Colts are missing their star QB, there's a chance.

Meanwhile, we're busting record high temps this week along with monsoon rains. Mid 50's with 4-10 inches of rain. You guys will probably get it in the form of snow.

Iwo Jima was where the most brutal and gruesome fighting occurred in the Pacific.

Who had the Patriots and Broncos at the top of the AFC on their bingo card?

The Seahawks are now 10-3, and STILL don't lead the division. That's just nuts.

Go to the gym, eat healthy, and get fit. Fish WAY more. Have fun, make memories with old and new friends.

Ok, we get it. Both brands have their diehard fans. We know who you are. You've made your presence known. Now take a breath.

Football head jigs are made for cold water. But with so many head styles, skirts, and trailers… it’s easy to get overwhelmed. This video breaks it all down — what to throw, how to fish it, and where the bass are stacked. It shows you EXACTLY how to master football jigs when temps drop. Don’t just drag a jig — master it.

I'm in!

Yessir! I never thought that was unusual until WELL after I sold it. People were like, "It was WHERE??" LOL I thought it was a great idea because it didn't matter what side of the pump I pulled up to.

Actually, I used to back down my dad's 1970 14' Terry boat with my '74 Camaro using mirrors, LOL! Yep, I know how strange that looked. But if you know that model Chevy, you know that rear window is useless; and you'd know that's one narrow boat. LOL (You'd also know where to put the gas nozzle on that car)

Yup. I used to be a "professional backseater" a.k.a. poor college kid that thumbed rides to go fishing. I backed down ramps all kinds of vehicle/boat configurations. They geometry varies greatly, and makes it difficult to do it real quick on-the-fly while launching for a tournament with everyone else. It didn't take long to learn that using the side mirrors is the surefire way to go, every time. Here's a video that explains it in detail with examples:

Well don't get too excited. They played Dallas. Like I said before.... Now before anyone dogs the Seahawks.... It looks like they're on track for another 10-7 year and missing the playoffs because the NFC West is so strong. I was expecting an 8-8 year, but they've already won 9, so everything is gravy at this point. I'm not disappointed.

Ya I know. I'm just pullin' your chain!

Receiving a cancer diagnosis is overwhelming—and it’s completely normal to feel numb and uncertain about how to respond. From one survivor to another soon-to-be survivor, I understand what you’re going through. The optimistic outlook you’ve been given is great news, but I strongly recommend asking (or insisting) on a PET scan. It’s essentially a full-body scan that can detect any signs of cancer elsewhere—or give you the peace of mind that it hasn’t spread. Either way, it gives you clarity, and if anything is found, it’ll likely be early enough for a great outcome. Through all of this, know you’re not alone. You’ve got our full support—and a community ready to provide encouragement, laughs, and anything else you need to help you through this. We’ve got your back!

How quickly you forget the Seahawks blowing out the Broncos 43-8. BTW, how are those Titans doing?
