A simple "Hello coach, how you doin? Thanks for joining us today." may have gone a long way.

I got the impression the Harbaugh was distracted - had other things on his mind. He didn't want to do the interview, but couldn't get out of it.

Cutting out of work now, headed to the only lake in Oklahoma that isn't closed down due to high water levels.

I highly recommend this motorcycle.... http://media.motoblog.it/y/yam/yamaha-fjr-1300-2013/big_Yamaha_FJR1300_my2013_a13.jpg Yamaha FJR1300 - the ultimate sport touring bike. This dude rode from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Key West, Florida in 86 hrs and 31 minutes. http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/608/3739/motorcycle-article/yamaha-fjr-sets-continent-crossing-record.aspx on an FJR. Power, comfort, styling and utility. What more could you ask for? I had to sell my bike and my pickup when I split with my GF a few years back. God I want that bike back!!!!

Exiled, I wanted to tell you this story yesterday, but its too long to type on my phone... I mentioned in my previous post that we fished all day Sunday. We went to a very small lake near my house. Our original plan though was to go to the Verdigris channel Saturday evening to net some shad to take to a different lake on Sunday for hybred bass fishing. I had never been to this particular location on the channel - Rogers Point recreational area, if you care to look it up. It is above all of the locks, about a mile below the entrance to the Port of Catoosa. As soon as we put in (at around 5:00 PM), we knew right away that we would not be able to fish. The water was flowing way too fast for my trolling motor, and there was tons of debris. I mean, huge stumps and limbs. We even saw a couple of entire trees floating down the middle of the river. I found that if I stayed close to the bank that I was safe to run, so we shot up river to do some exploring. There was not another soul on the river, until about 15 miles up river (@ hwy 20), we came across a group of kids, five dudes and two girls, all claiming to be 21, floating out in the middle of the channel among all the flotsam. They had a tiny (maybe 3x6 ft) one man fishing platform with a plastic lawn chair and an ice chest, a couple of swimming pool floating rings, a large nearly deflated air mattress, and another ice chest they rigged up with batteries, a car radio and a couple of 6x9 speakers, and ONE LIFE VEST! They had put in something like 30 miles up-river, just below the Oolagah Lake dam at 10:00 AM. They were out of beer and out of drinking water. One of the girls was straddling a log. We threw them a rope and dragged them out of the center of the channel to get away from all of the wood. They all climbed in the boat with us and we dragged their flotilla back. I was worried I was going to get in trouble for overloading my 8-man boat and for not having life vests for everyone. I couldn’t tow them any faster than idle speed because it was swamping their "vessels", so it took us a couple of hours to get back. When we did arrive, it was right at dark, it had started raining with a little lightening, and this particular ramp is not lit up at all. Even had they made it that far, they a) would have never seen it in the dark and b) had no chance of extracting themselves from the river current. Their next stop would have been the locks, and I imagine that would be a very, very dangerous place in these conditions. Those kids got very lucky that we found them! As fast as the river was flowing, they would have been halfway to New Orleans before anyone started to look for their bodies!

Spent eight hours on the lake with dad. We caught two bass. Little 1.5 pounders. I would've pitched mine back, but it swallowed the hook and I would have killed it trying to remove the hook, so I brought it home and cooked it for myself. It wasn't big enough and I am not skilled enough so I decided against fileting it. Just scaled and gutted it, off with the fins and head, sprinkled on a bit of cajun seasoning, and pan fried slow and low in butter. It was spectacular!

SCORIN DORRIN! nice!

LOL.

"Still edible" was the qualifier. You tell us.

S S S S S Sammy and the slant!

Maybe. I'm concentrating on KC now. Much more doable for me. OMG, I have trouble just imagining what it will be like at RWS on opening day this year! I haven't been to a game since 1980 when I was seven.

Boysenberry and maple at IHOP is awesome. Blueberries? Yes please!!!

If I had $500 and I was forced to spend it on something fun....damn that's not as easy as it sounds! At this moment, I would spend every dime to be at the season opener. Maybe a guided fishing trip? Something cool for my car?

God I would like to experience this. A buddy that I met last year, a rare Bills fan in these parts, invited me to the HO. He is driving up for the game, and his family had some extra tix. All I needed was airfare. Well, he and I got into it two weeks ago at the bar. I knocked him out. We ain't friends no more. I regret losing my temper. I regret losing a friend. I really regret losing a ticket to the opener! Dude was an **** though.

Think of the play that Hogan made last year. That, and Freddy's stiff arm were the two biggest offensive plays of our season. And Freddy took second place in that metric.

I haven't read anything more than the headlines. What were these dudes in for? A successful prison break in this day and age is pretty dang impressive.
