What will Groot cost? I don’t think he’s a jag.

I’m that kid in class who didn’t really read the book. Can you tell me how it ends?

So, I’m looking at the website now. I think it might be an adjustment for me to get used to something different than the way I’ve grilled for decades. I’m not saying that is a bad thing. I do cook a bunch of stuff on indirect heat under the hood (well seasoned skin on, bone in chicken thighs are a regular), and I’ll use the little rack up high in the back when there are flare ups. I’m intrigued. My wife has us making a list of things we want to do and places we want to go this year. Put it on the schedule, then make it happen. (Or try like hell.) Cooking classes was one item we both had high on the list.

Wait, if they have a combo, that sounds perfect! Is there any reason (other than expense) not to just replace my Weber grill which is hooked to the house for gas? Is there a downside? I was thinking of having one on a patio, but it would be more convenient where the Weber is on a deck outside the back door.

You mention the cleaning and I think that would be my greatest cause for hesitation. I have a flat cast iron grill pan I use on my gas Weber grill when I’m trying to get a great sear. It works great, but the pan is too hot to do anything with it when the food is done, and I find by the time I get back around to it it’s very difficult to clean and maintain. I’ve got to think the black stone would be better than that?

Good luck! I’d hate for you to set the bar so low…..and still come up short!

I had a tennis buddy who was once hit by lightning. The courts where we played are surrounded by a golf course, and an alarm goes off if lightning gets within 5 miles or something. When the alarm went off, he moved much faster than anything he did on the court.

Yes, let’s fire that bum who coaches those bums. Some people are still whining while conveniently forgetting this was supposed to be a difficult transition year. We may flame out in the playoffs, but I’m happy with our overall season to date. I’ll look forward to seeing some of the younger guys this week. I think our backup OLine may be better than what we fielded a few years ago when we were picking up guys at the final cut to start for us..

I remember when “who do we want in round 1?” meant it was Halloween and we were looking forward to the draft.

I remember the Painful disappointment of seeing our starters lose to teams who were resting their starters. That is NOT a good feeling going into a looooong offseason, but that’s why we spend so much time looking at the draft. Hope springs eternal.

I have never met Alexa, and I hope to keep it that way. 😊 It’s wireless with whatever source you choose (Pandora, Sirius, etc) from your phone. We have speakers all over the house and my wife can turn them on when she’s in that area. They can be as small as a Coke can, but a tall boy gets you pretty good sound! You can hide it on any counter. Please look into it.

I’m not sure if either of them can be nearly the D-Bag Favre was.

I had Polk Audio surround sound at one point, and I was very happy with the performance. Of course, that was a long time ago and I was a virgin to that stuff! But times have changed (rapidly!) and I just hope that all the available options are explored. We have Sonos speakers all over, and you can carry them outside with you. .

We have spent significant money having old speakers and intercoms and other antiquated things removed from our current house. We have WiFi speakers everywhere, and you can turn it on or off by room. Please seriously at least look into that first. Cheaper and more flexible.

Well, for what will look like a cold weather preseason game, it will be interesting to see how that plays out. How much, if any, Von will we see? So, there you go, something interesting about this game. 😊 I don’t gamble, but I’d pluck Evans getting all the opportunities he needs from Baker.
