Plans for the weekend are family reunion on Lake Erie. Lots of drinking and random stupidity, staying up till 3 am playing card games, a round or two of golf, watching a lot of football, playing mexican train, backgammon, lots of music and just enjoying each other's company. My son won't be there for the first time in forever because he's off to grad school in SLC.
September 2nd, 2022 at 11:15 AM ^
Dare I ask what is “Mexican Train”? I can only hope it’s not something you learned in Tijuana.
September 2nd, 2022 at 9:58 AM ^
IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!
For real though, I've been watching football games since last weekend. I was even watching the Fresno State / Cal Tech game late last night LOL. Oh, and did anyone catch the Purdue / Penn State game last night? What a great game! The West Virginia / Pitt game was fantastic too.
Plans for the weekend? Finish staining the deck, water balloon fight with the kid, and Wolverines Football baby!!
Let's Go Blue!!!!!
September 2nd, 2022 at 10:48 AM ^
Pitt - WVU and Penn State - Purdue were fantastic games. And the season has only just started.
This is why we love college football even though they keep relentlessly trying to kill it.
September 2nd, 2022 at 10:05 AM ^
Bang bang and Go Blue!!
September 2nd, 2022 at 10:07 AM ^
It's a slow day and I'm working from home, so... consuming all the CFB content I can find with the exception of a few client calls.
Then leaving the 2-year-old with the inlaws so the wife and I can have a date where we actually eat inside (we all got Covid a week ago), and getting ready for tomorrow's game. I'll do a pushup for every U-M passing yard and a squat for every rushing yard... hoping to be sore until Tuesday!
September 2nd, 2022 at 10:08 AM ^
Let's go! First season with the MGo baby. She is two months old and I can already tell she is going to be a huge fan! I'm sure she will learn to love Saturdays as much as I do!
September 2nd, 2022 at 10:08 AM ^
I heard there might be an interesting game on Saturday. Maybe I'll look it up. Otherwise, getting a haircut and, oh yeah, celebrating my 30th anniversary on Monday.
Bang me, but please don't tell my wife.
September 2nd, 2022 at 10:27 AM ^
Let's GOOOOOO!!!!!!!
September 2nd, 2022 at 3:42 PM ^
got all the enthusiasm but needs to work on pad level
September 2nd, 2022 at 10:39 AM ^
Thank you, higher powers for allowing me to survive the off season, the last 86 days especially.
September 2nd, 2022 at 11:05 AM ^
Kegging some cider for my daughter's wedding. It might be force-carbed by next week. Might not. Either way it's sitting nice and dry at 6.5% ABV.

User name checks out.

Bang me in Section 36, Row 35! LFG!!

“Coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine…”
(For those that don’t know - those are the first two lines of Mr. Brightside.)
September 2nd, 2022 at 11:56 AM ^
Plans? Have a nice meal tonight. Perhaps tune in to watch if the Broncos are surprising the Sparties.
Tomorrow. Watch the good guys crush their first opponent in a tune up game. Then Ducks v Dogs. Then watch ND "upset" duh team from duh state of Ohio. Then, maybe, watch whatever else I recorded all while having more nice but light meals.
Sunday? Sit in sunroom, take personal inventory (mental and physical) to ponder doing the loop while I still can (7 knots for 5500 miles? really?) versus suing an industrial monopoly and settling out of court for a ridiculously large sum to make me shut up and go away. Ponder same while washing and drying a car or two --- some of my best thinking gets done while cleaning a good looking, fast machine. Maybe take one of them out for a blast.
Monday? "Help" a crew dig a ditch to run power and Ethernet to a new location on the property.
Go Blue!
Edit: My apologies where due - I need to be more specific in some of my references. :-(
September 2nd, 2022 at 12:40 PM ^
What is ‘the loop’? Knots is boating or flying, and you can’t fly at 7 knots. Sail? Paddle?
September 2nd, 2022 at 12:59 PM ^
i know the Great Loop is circumnavigation of the great lakes, down the mississippi river, around florida, and up the eastern seaboard, heading back into the great lakes.
i think that's what he's talking about
September 2nd, 2022 at 1:19 PM ^
The loop? See the good doctor of jaws. Basically, diesel cruising the inland waterways (for me) from Bhastan to Chicago (via Canada, possibly) then down to the Gulf, over to Florida, then up the inland East Coast waterways back to Bahstan. Takes about a year to do. It's an extended and very mellow boat ride. Requires the patience of Job (which patience, uh, is not my strength).
September 2nd, 2022 at 8:41 PM ^
mr. 100 mph in a boat with your hair on fire, going 7 knots for a year? going to take a lot of tranquilizers....
seriously, so what general type of boat do you do that on? trawler? express cruiser? big/small?
September 2nd, 2022 at 9:26 PM ^
Lol, you see the dilemma, clearly.
Basically a '''live aboard' that floats, sleeps two, stores and cooks foods, has a moderate draft to enable passage in the shallower canals and waterways, and, most importantly, an airdraft under 15.5 feet to be able to pass under the lowest bridge on the Erie Canal or, at most 19 feet to transit passage in the Chicago choke point. Therefore, no towered fishboats. Also need expanded fresh water and mandatory fuel tankage to go approx 210 miles (longest hop) on the Tennessee-Tombigbee (diesel) or 450 miles (gasoline).
33 to 45 footer seems right. Optimally? Single diesel with "wing" motor, or twin diesels that sip fuel at 7 to 9 knots. Rare to need to even get on plane. Ocean going hull is way overkill as it's 95 percent inland or inshore. Trawler fine, express cruiser fine, but no masted rag boats, no cats due to narrow canals.
Kind of like taking a nice, floating RV for a leisurely, year long tour of the eastern states.
September 2nd, 2022 at 1:35 PM ^
Those who complete the Loop are called 'Loopers'.
September 2nd, 2022 at 11:59 AM ^
Obligatory Vincent Smith Bang, Bang.
September 2nd, 2022 at 12:03 PM ^
Going to the game tomorrow and then off to Chicago for the rest of the weekend.
September 2nd, 2022 at 12:48 PM ^
This Saturday? A small amount of yardwork and a large amount of football, especially MICHIGAN football!!
September 2nd, 2022 at 12:51 PM ^
Embarrassed to be this late to the BANG, but it'll be a morning run, an 11:30a Bloody Mary masterpiece, then settle in for the MOST wonderful time of the year. GO BLUE!!!
September 2nd, 2022 at 1:13 PM ^
Great to have a season opener bang and be banging again. Go Blue !
September 2nd, 2022 at 2:15 PM ^
Ready to go!!
September 2nd, 2022 at 3:53 PM ^
TO HELL WITH NOTRE DAME!!!
...amirite? Ya with me?
September 2nd, 2022 at 5:15 PM ^
Chuck, this is one time I can completely agree with you.
However, the matchup you refer to - might have provided a conundrum to Sun-Tzu. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” I don’t recall his theory about two enemies facing each other.
As you know - there’s a rather visible intercollegiate football contest in Columbus tomorrow.
My hope for it is a 7 OT affair, with a final score of 2-0.
Enjoy..
September 2nd, 2022 at 6:30 PM ^
I'm will you Chuck, To Hell with Notre Dame!!
I hope they win one game this year. My hope is that win is this Saturday to get it out of the way.
September 2nd, 2022 at 4:10 PM ^
Go Blue!!!
Going to work in the morning before the game. Our company moved and I gotta make sense of my office before Tuesday.
Yesterday, my wife had a five hour surgery, hopefully she will be cleared of all cancer. Big Bang for her!
Today, work on my day off, and spent it helping out in the warehouse. Meant to get my office set, now that's tomorrow. Emails, ugh. 7 new requests for quote...etc
Come Noon tomorrow, please may there be no interruptions.
September 2nd, 2022 at 6:13 PM ^
Hoping all went well and goes well for your better half--I know what it's like to be that spouse. Blessings on you both!
September 2nd, 2022 at 4:26 PM ^
ESPN Programming note for Friday night: Serena bumps WMU @ Sparty to ESPN2.
September 2nd, 2022 at 4:35 PM ^
I am no longer bangable. Bang me anyways!
September 2nd, 2022 at 6:06 PM ^
I was gone camping for two days!, perhaps 54 hours to be accurate, and now it's going to take all evening to catch up on my pregame reading! I need a bang to get me through!
September 2nd, 2022 at 6:15 PM ^
Ugh! In the hospital, counting the minutes until kickoff. For the love of God, Bang Me.
