    Same here. I'm youngest of 5 - three girls, two boys. One of my sisters is *always* late. I do prefer people show up on time, preferably *before* on time in my line of work (IT). But I am aware of a recent generation that has a different perception of time. 5-10 min late is no big deal to them. Not like we can change them to our point of view, it seems to be a generational thing. ?‍♂️ I try not to sweat over it too much, though I have taught my sons to be on-time or early. They are good...for the most part.

    I lost my Dad shortly before Christmas 2022. He was 92. Dad was my hero. My best friend. An ear that would listen and provide wisdom that was bottomless. Dad served in the Navy, Lt. Commander. He was not one who took patriotism lightly, nor ignorantly. He was a thinker, not a blind follower. He taught me to think. I miss my Dad dearly. He taught me fishing, among many other things in life. He is missed, mourned. I will always love and cherish his wisdom, tolerance, love. Now let me shed some tears.
  4. Welcome aboard, Jen! ? You have a short, light rod and a smaller size reel. I would recommend you have it spooled with 8-10 pound braid - something like a PowerPro, or other brand (I use Power Pro) You should be able to fish a number of lighter (finesse) rigs like Wacky rigging, micro jigs, Ned rigging (a fav). I'm sure a bunch of suggestions will come rolling in, this is a GREAT forum to learn from. Stay tuned!!
  5. Agree totally. I think Daboll was Josh's Zen Master in that regard. He was more cautious with the ball, more accurate if I'm not mistaken under Dabs. If only..... I'll start to worry after 5 games. Ok, 2. No, 4 games. Gah. I'm already worried.
  6. Yup. Should have been toast. Hope Josh can find his sea legs again. I was *almost* in the dog house last night. Was a terrible 2nd half. Shouldn't have had to take it to OT. Josh got into his Hero Ball mode and blew it. At least he owned it unlike Zach last year. Hey, it's only game one. Every team is going to to after Josh to get him to over commit/go Hero Ball. It is up to him and his coaches (I miss Daboll's zen influence on him) to help him succeed. Otherwise this team is not gonna go far.

    Love wings. We have been perfecting airfrying them and using a mix of spices along with Buffalo Wild Wings or Frank's sauce(s). I like 'em mild, others in the fam like spicy. To add more, we season the wings, air fry, then toss 'em in a tupperwear container with the sauce of choice. As for locals, there are a number down here in VA, but to be honest, I love the wings from a local Mexican place here called Cinco de Mayo. They're "traditional" style and really good. Vinnie's is also very good. Have had solid wings from some local breweries and tap-houses, too.
  10. Welcome aboard, Jeremy!
  11. Welcome aboard!
  12. Welcome aboard, Bazoo!
  13. Ugh. Hoping for the best, Andy.
  14. Went to The Answer Brewpub in Richmond a couple weeks back to meet one of our sons and his girlfriend. I had the Tunnel 2 Mekong. A triple hazy IPA that was outstanding. The Diablo Quy Brunch was great, too. https://untappd.com/b/the-answer-tunnel-2-mekong/5351330 What is the brew style? IPA, Lager?
  15. Welcome aboard!
  16. Awesome catches!
  17. Awesome wacky haul! Love the rig.

    Welcome aboard, you/Doc! ?
  19. I, as a football fan, hated those years and that team. 2 Superbowl losses for my Bills. ?
  20. Until Jerry gives up the team....
  21. Worst 13 seconds ever. I'm convinced that would have been our year. Such a hard road to travel.
  22. What I want: Buffalo to win the Super Bowl. What will happen is up for grabs. I do believe the AFC East is the toughest division followed by the AFC North, then AFC West, NFC West. AFC is loaded. SB Prediction, then Buffalo 42 v San Fran 28.
