Friday POSBANG: Bye Week Edition

Submitted by father fisch on
Good Friday morning! This is my swimmer's last early practice day, it's homecoming for my girls at high school, and Team Michigan is recruiting like crazy! Happy Friday, everyone...

early for a bang, but since the 1 year old doesn't quite understand the horrific ramifications of a 4:00 AM full wake up, I guess I have nothing else to do for like 2 hours. Only 15 hours until Duke and Louisville kick it off. Bang bang, I suppose.

oldest's team won handily last night.   the 3 middle sons play tomorrow - should be sunny and actually pretty warm.

as to the OP's comment about swimming, since the satellite shows it's about 56 degrees in lake michigan,  i might try one last swim this afternoon.  i went earlier in the week and it was close to polar bear time.  nobody out there swimming but me though, very quiet, very pleasant.

My son is starting QB on his high school team, but I'm not even looking forward to the game tonight because the coach is the Hoke of high school coaches. They have no chance to win because he'll run it up the middle against 10 men in the box three times in a row, then punt on 4th-and-9. He's only a sophomore, so hopefully it will get better after we run this guy.

Who doesn't love a nice bang?

There's also the British food dish "Bangers and Mash"...I wonder why they refer to a sausage as a "Banger"?  Those wacky Brits.

Sort of reminds you of a football, eh?

It's also Fall Break at Michigan, so I get a full house for the first time since Labor Day weekend. Lots of small things going on, but mostly just enjoying her company.

In my previous life, I've had the pleasure of watching both Berreta and Benelli demo shooters ply thier trade.  It's an awesome show of ability with a shotgun.  If you haven't seen one, I highly recommend it!  Your gif looks cool, seeing it in real life is doubly cool.

I miss that life...

Insane...

I've been dove hunting with some special ops peeps a few times.  They see things differently through the sights of a gun.  I'm not a bad shot, but can still go into box #2 limiting out on dove. Those guys?  They shoot judiciously, and never miss.  On several occasions, I've seen two dove fall out on one shot.  Of course, shooting is their business, but its not natural how good they are!
