Super Bowl Guess?
to me it is hard to pick against denver in the AFC again and in the NFC I seattle taking a bit of a slide back. My off the wall prediction is going to be AZ.....and of course i want philly to make it but unless their defense yes better this season i just don't see it happening even though the offense will be there.

Got A New Puppy Today....
I had a bulldog and he was super healthy....unfortunately he went crazy and got super aggressive when he turned about 6. My vet, who specialized in bulldogs, said he could count the number of bulldogs that were completely healthy and those who were aggressive on one hand and then said well, you have both lol

Got A New Puppy Today....
Anthony is still a little scared of him, he says he keeps trying to bite me daddy so i told him well you need to teach him what he can and cannot bite. he is just dying for him to play fetch with him....the little guy is doing ok though and can already handle steps and plays with his toys so it won't be long before he is playing fetch with him. My other two dogs aren't quite sure about him yet, well the one at least. the lab/retriever mix gave a few sniffs and didn't really care too much the rottie/chow mix is a little more inquisitive and has been following him around our yard and is already protective of the little guy so that is a good thing. What he doesn't know that in about 2 months this puppy will probably be bigger than he is

Got A New Puppy Today....
To make a long story short, we had the opportunity to get a purebred rottie puppy for next to nothing so we decided to go for it. We have two mutts now who were both rescues and are both at least 10 years old. One is a rottie/chow mix and the other one is a lab/golden retriever mix of some sort. My son just turned 4 a little over a month ago and every boy needs a puppy....

Kayak Question About Paddle Holder
i have seen people use the native paddle holder mounted to a belt http://www.paddleva.com/APP00629-Paddle-Holder-Deck-Mount?gclid=CNyxkeyfpcACFcZQ7Aod9n4AGA seems like a pain to me. Personally if i am standing in my boat i am probably working an area more thoroughly so i usually am either wedged into some lilly pads or using my stake out pole or anchor.

I Need Help To Figure Out If This Water Is "dead" Or Not
I would go out with some night crawlers and see if there are any panfish....then if you catch one use it is a live bait and see what is lurking out there. You could always just fish it with artificials too but that may not yield the same results. On the flip side, if the lake is as secluded as you think the fish may not have seen lures before so chucking a yum dinger or fluke out there might tell you all you need to know.

Crock Kills Bank Fisherman
Generally when an animal attacks and injures or kills a human it is going to happen again as they have lost their fear of humans so in an effort to remove at least one known possibility of a human eating animal it is best to remove it, permanently.

Kayak Question About Paddle Holder
What boat are you in? In my commander when i stand up i just rest it on top of the gunwales and call it a day.....easy to get to and one less thing to add weight and potential spots to snag my fly line on when fishing. I used to do the same thing on my Redfish and my coosa when i stood up too. the coosa did have little notes built in to the boat though for the purpose

What Is The Biggest Bass You Have Ever Caught?
I have never owned a scale but the largest i caught measured 26" and was pre spawn so i am guessing it was in the 10lb range maybe....took me 3 days of fishing after work to get her to bite after i spotted her hanging around a bed, She was still fat and full of eggs so she was caught, tried to get a picture and she flopped out of the kayak and swam right back to where i caught her from while i stood there with my mouth open that i couldn't get a picture.....oh well it's all good

This Morning At "my" Lake
yes but a bass that is bigger around than long is not too common in my experience. http://www.in-fisherman.com/bass/largemouth-bass/fish-weight-estimator-largemouth-bass/

Ms 150 Charity Bike Ride-Richmond Va
Had a good ride yesterday even though it kicked my butt because i wasn't hydrated enough. I drank 4 water bottles and still wasn't sweating like i should have been. To put it in perspective, earlier in the week i rode 30 miles and didn't even drink one full water bottle and felt strong at the end. This ride was 55 and i was running on fumes...go figure but to be fair, i also didn't eat a good breakfast either. Oh well such is life. I did break $1,000 in donations though so that is a good thing!! Anyone who is still interested in donating there is still time. http://main.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/VARBikeEvents?px=4544103&pg=personal&fr_id=22247

Mis-Diagnose By Mechanic
nope but on a 20 year old motor it is possible, and i would say and not beyond the realm of possibility. Does that make sense to you?

Mis-Diagnose By Mechanic
you guys are a little harsh if you ask me. The guy took it in because he couldn't do the repair or figure it out. The mechanic performed the work and should be paid. for the amount of time involved and what he was charged for the parts it seems reasonable to me to pay the $800 dollars too...yeah the part was more expensive but it always is when you get it from a mechanic and then there is diagnosis and labor to replace the part. Who is to say the part didn't need replacing as well? now to be fair, i probably wouldn't use the guy again but i would also know that the VRO should be good for a long time. And any brake job that costs $800 is ridiculous and if you are doing your own brake for $20 you must have some pretty crappy pads you are using and not talking about replacing rotors or getting them turned if needed.

How Do You Cleanly Trim Tackle Box Compartment Dividers?
i am assuming it is the plastic ones? I have had success heating up a thin putty knife and basically pressing it right through then sanding down the edges. After that though and realizing it took way to much time i just used a sharp razor knife.

Why Is My Dog All The Sudden Attacking Our Cats?
my fiancé had a pekignese that when it got old didn't like anyone being around and would snap and bite them if they got too close. he only liked a few people and miraculously i made the cut which is good because little dogs or even big dogs for that matter that bite me get punted and his old body couldn't have handled it
