What do you think of these Bills concept helmets?
sherpa replied to Seoulofstone's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The only thing missing from them are automatically flashing buffalo eyes, a smoking nose and a wagging tail whenever the Bills get a first down, turnover, touchdown or third down stop. If the battery issue could be resolved to make those happen, I'd be onboard. -
What Team Do FA's Not Want to Go To ?
sherpa replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would put Jacksonville at the top of the list. Poor team. Zero personality head coach. Lethargic fan base. The London thing. -
Has Carlos Danger prints all over it.

All my life's a circle.

What’s your earliest memory of the Buffalo Bills?
sherpa replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My uncle had season tickets and took me to the Sep 22, 1963 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. I still remember the smell of the hot dogs cooked over charcoal when we walked to the seats. We sat behind Chief's wide receiver Chris Burford's parents. The game ended up in a tie, but I never forgot the atmosphere. -

Go get this guy!!! (Kyle Long returning)
sherpa replied to glazeduck's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ya. My kids were about the same age as Chris and Kyle, and I sat next to or close to Howie and Diane many times at many high school baseball games. I also had a small airplane at the time and I would talk to him occasionally before and after his trips to LA for the football pre-game show. He had a ratty old Sabreliner and we used to talk about it. FAA number was N75HL. (75 was his number and HL his initials). Registered to his LLC called "My Three Sons." He's since upgraded. Kyle was on the baseball track, then went to Florida State on a baseball scholarship. Forgot about the "school" part of college and was out before he threw his first pitch. Came home and got into a few typical college aged kid scrapes, alcohol underage, and a DWI. Then got his stuff together, went to the west coast and straightened out, concentrating on football and re-inventing himself. Great to see it all worked out. -
I always preferred Sainsbury's to Tesco. I got stuck there for ten days during that Icelandic volcano airspace shutdown. Figured I should get a job stocking shelves at the South Kensington Sainsbury's to pass the time.

Evidently, nothing.

That wasn't always the case with Kyle. After high school he had quite a rough patch. Glad to see him straighten it things out. -
The 7 million wasn't for the couple. It was what CBS paid Oprah's company for the rights to broadcast it.

Nothing....Absolutely nothing like living in Kensington Palace as a Royal, and that's what he saw and similar to what they were headed for. Not even close.
-
If one has witnessed the British tabloid industry and it's absolute obsession with anything Royal, especially a scandal, it is understandable. There is nothing like it here. The paparazzi literally killed his mother. That is how microscopically scrutinized they are. They have no significant function, but they have an immense cultural function based on history. It's no way to live and I'm glad somebody exposed the misery of living as a 24 hour target.

I'm not an expert. I've just priced the systems out, and continue to do so. The problem with geothermal is not in the system. It's in the expense of creating the heat sink. If you tell some backhoe operator to dig a four foot trench 100' long and do it four times, you will get a price. Septic systems are not that much different. If you tell him you are doing it for a geothermal system, the price will change. The other issue with geothermal is consistent with a lot of contractor issues. If one person digs the field, and another provides the plumbing and hvac system, if there is a problem, they are always going to blame the other contractor. As a home owner/builder, that is not an easy thing to fight. I am not an expert on any but a few things, but I am always looking and learning, and I've done this before. The geothermal I installed on a 3500 square foot house worked great. De-superheater for hot water and very price competitive. Way better in summer than my neighbors. Pricing it out for this one didn't work.
-
The last house we built had a closed loop geothermal system. I had it installed and liked it a lot. In constructing this current house, I looked at doing the same. The cost was excessive, and not competitive. Far more expensive than what I built years ago. He isn't getting his "heating, cooling and hot water for free." Such a claim is similar to buying a bunch of food, putting it in a freezer, and when using it, claiming you are getting it for free.

I have been interested in this for years as well, and check on the industries' advancements regularly. I had a solar hot water system in my house in California, and was really happy with it. It provided all of our hot water needs. Photovoltaic is another issue, but I am also interested in that, and have been actively following it for years. The basics are that the most efficient system is an array that points true, (as opposed to magnetic) south, and plus or minus, installed at the same angle as your north latitude elevation. The house we live in now, has this exact arrangement on the garage roof, which is plenty big enough. Not a coincidence. Our church has an adjoining property and the guy has a 24 unit 4x8 array installed. His situation is less than perfect, but I talk to him regularly about the system's performance. Bottom line, I haven't seen any evidence that it makes sense for me yet, even with the perfect situation. I believe there are things coming in the next few years that will make more sense.

Buffalo Florida (college) Texas (training) Central Valley California USS Kitty Hawk San Francisco Bay Area Raleigh NC St. Charles Il (far west Chicago suburb) Charlottesville VA Kitty Hawk was the most interesting, but fortunatley I was able to get off of it for a couple house every day. -
Josh is Watching Super Bowl at Darnold's House with Kyle Allen

Nope. Emergency responders reported a call of a ghost outbreak, but it was single source. -

Should NFL Adopt 3rd Place Game Week Before Super Bowl?
sherpa replied to Dr.Sack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The injury list for that proposed contest would be longer than a metro phone book. Even the fans would call in sick. On another note, they could call it the "Gale Sayers Bowl," you know...."I am third." Oh just nevermind. -
When I posted what I did, you absolutely could. Further, I just logged in to my tdameritrade account, the firm you mentioned, and put in a limit trade for GME, which was taken, no problem. I cancelled the limit order, but it certainly did not restrict me from placing the order.
-
Did you really mean this? You can buy GME or anything else anywhere else. Robinhood restriction has infinitely little to do with the ability to buy this or other issues.
