Road To The Super Bowl 2023
The Bears wound up with the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft when they lost and the Texans won in Week 18 and General Manager Ryan Poles was asked about the plans for that pick at a Tuesday press conference. Quarterbacks are always in the discussion for the top pick, but the Bears have Justin Fields heading into his third season. That made the team’s commitment to Fields one of the topics of conversation. Poles said the team will evaluate the entire draft class and that Fields needs to improve as a passer, but that he’s “excited” about the direction Fields is headed and that he will have to be “absolutely blown away” in order to use the pick on a quarterback.

I took apart her president to take out the worn bail spring and find out it was actually broken into 2 pieces. Still worked but major sloppy bail arm. she loves to shovel snow, she wore this one out in 2019- 2020 winter.- Wife is hard on Pflueger reel 1 yr update with pics
She doesnt have a drivers license only a permit. I tried teaching her to drive but i coudnt take the stress of it any more so i stopped. She did start out with a shakesphere rod and reel combo in 2020 which cost $15.00 at wallmart and at the start of july that year she had allready stripped the cheap gears inside. Hence the so far indestructable pfleugur president for her. She does wear out snow shovels, i will have to take pic of them as its crazy that half the shovel scoop is wore off every year. She works hard and fishs hard. She was born in her parents nipa hut with dirt floors and banana leaves for a roof in the jungle amonst rice fields and coconut trees. She grew up with no running water only a well and no refridgerator. Her familly got their first ever refridgerator in 2019 as i gave them ours when we moved to the usa. She is one tough woman.- Would you rather…..

#18 Jefferson only 1 catch for 5 yds. I heard that #18 needs 200 yds to break a recieving record for the year.- Oil Change
i change my own, dont trust any kids or newbies whom work the lube racks at dealers to not cross thread the drain plug, leave the old filter gasket on or tightening the filter. The last time 5 years ago i had the honda dealer change my oil and they charged me for 5 qts when the engine takes 3.75qts. They made up for it by giving me a ticket for a free oil change which i gave to my neighbor. Beware what oil they put in, I asked the service manager and the parts manager what brand oil and they said mobil, i asked which mobil type as there are different quality oils they sell in bulk. They didnt know so i asked whom was their distributer and they gave me the name and i called them and they looked it up and i found out which mobil series it was and it was the cheapest mobil makes in bulk. So if you have an older car they will not unless requested put good expensive oil in it, you will get the low grade.- Wife is hard on Pflueger reel 1 yr update with pics
We move around on big boulders and rip rap, even just a few steps are trecherous. Everytime we set a soft something down to lay reel on its now well out of reach. I lay mine down easilly or stick handle in a crevice and if fish is an easy unhook just hold the rod under my arm or between legs all while balancing on a rock.- Wife is hard on Pflueger reel 1 yr update with pics
Patina?- Road To The Super Bowl 2023
What year? I watched this game on tv when i was living in Levittown PA, anything is possible. 9 January 1988 - Minnesota Vikings 36, San Francisco 49ers 24 Yes, this is the one everyone remembers, and it was 32 years ago today, even! (Well, as I write this, it’s still 9 January in the Twin Cities.) Much like this year’s team, the Vikings were coming off of an upset of the Saints in the Wild Card round, and the Niners were the top seed in the NFC. The only scoring in the first quarter came courtesy of a field goal for each team. The Vikings came alive in the second quarter, as they scored 17 unanswered points (capped by a 45-yard interception return by Najee Mustafaa) to take a 20-3 lead into the locker room. The Niners started the second half with a pick-six of their own to make it 20-10, but the Vikings got a touchdown pass from Wade Wilson to Hassan Jones to make it a 17-point lead again. Minnesota stayed in control the rest of the way, and the game got to the point where the legendary Joe Montana was eventually benched for his backup, some guy named Steve Young. Anthony Carter blew up in a big way in this one, as he set a Vikings’ team record (postseason or otherwise) with 227 receiving yards on ten catches, and threw in a 30-yard rush for good measure. Unfortunately, the Vikings would go on to lose the NFC Championship Game to the eventual Super Bowl champions that year, the Washington Redskins.- Baits that work for you that others have not heard of?

Bought Pflueger President reel in april 2021 and since we fish alot from rocky, boulder, gravel banks where she catches many and then sets the rod down on the rocks to unhook and rebait the reel gets abused on the outside. I serviced her reel in july 2021 oiling it and greasing it and was surprised how beat up it was. Now its Dec of 2022 and i took a close look at her reel and saw it was really chewed up as we spent all year fishing rocky lined dams. I havnt said anything and never will because thats the environment we fish in and she brings home the fish and i am not going to put any negative thoughts into her head of her having to change her ways of fishing. I will say the president of hers has never broke and i never replaced any parts on it. I will be ordering a new bail spring as hers is just wore the heck out. The first 4 pics are the latest dec 2022, the last 3 are from july 2021.- Dealer had better fix this!

Thats when i would have grabbed my keys and gotten the heck out of there. The spark plug excuse is the solution they give to unsuspecting unknowing car owners. The service manager on up may have told the tech to pull a wire or such to cause the problem to get you back into the shop and rip you off. Did you ask if they scanned the computer? thats the first thing the tech would do to check for codes, the tech could have scanned it and purposely screed up your tranny. Drop by a NAPA or auto zone or any big parts store and they will go out and scan your car for free, I did it 3 months ago. I went to an O Rileys for my honda and asked them to scan it and they grabbed their scanner and plugged it in and in 10 seconds found out my egr valve was not closing. It was dumping burned exhaust back into the intake making it run rough. So i bought a $5.00 gasket from them, went home and pulled the egr, decarboned the valve that electronically opens and closes and havnt had a problem since.- Dealer had better fix this!

- Winter is coming...
This winter i am recovering from a november shoulder reconstruction surgery. I had a tenodesis of my longhead biceps, that means taking the biceps from where it attaches on top of the labrum and reattach it to my humerus, arm bone. Cleaned up my torn labrum which now isnt being torn more because the biceps tendon that attaches to it was cut and reattached as mentioned. Stitched my rotator cuff supraspinatis tear back together, removed some bone spurs from under my acromium, cut abnormal bone growth from my AC Joint. Been doing therapy for 2 weeks now. This was my 3rd operation on this right shoulder, surgeon told me he saved me from having a shoulder replacement. This is why i switch my handle on my reel from right to left every hour or so. I havnt and wont be shoveling or blowing snow this winter ?. Merry x-mas.- Winter 2022-23
