  1. Pink Floyd Meddle 'one of these day's' is cranking now Got the mojo rising. The universe is falling into place.
  2. I saw a profile of Dalton Risner. Very impressive and mature young man. Wondering if he makes it to the 2nd round.
  3. in Quintaphonic sound with Eric Clapton, Tina Turner and Ann Margaret ? I saw that movie at the theater when it came out, I was 13.
  4. That sounds like a fun job at that age. I worked after school starting at 15 thru high school, at the Broadway Market and then at Mercy Hospital. Seems like I had fun wherever I was back then and I'm sure I would've loved working in a bowling alley.
  5. I used to bowl as a kid with my dad and brothers or with my friends; and then in college I was in a bowling league with some buddies. There were many pitchers of beer involved. I was pretty good. Around 170 avg with a 278 high game. I always enjoyed it but haven't gone in over 20 years.
  6. My Grandpa used to make nice chess boards and cool cribbage boards that looked like ships in his basement wood shop. I have one of each. I have always loved chess and can't believe I went so many years without playing. Glad I got the Play Magnus chess app. Feels good to be playing again.
  7. WEAKNESSES: Lacks ideal length and point-of-attack power…inconsistent shed technique and timing…can be bullied in the run game…inconsistent base strength andcan be displaced by blockers, especially when his pads rise…doesn’t always replace his hands on his get-off, stalling his pass rush…always looking for an edge, butdeveloped a reputation for being a borderline dirty player due to questionable hits…older prospect and will turn 24 during his NFL rookie season. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-2019-nfl-draft-profile-di-christian-wilkins-clemson Dont agree with can be bullied in the run game assessment. He was rated a top 3 dt as a run defender and pass rusher. "Wilkins was a brick wall against the run, recording a 93.6 run-defense grade. Among the top interior defensive linemen in the class, no one recorded a lower average depth of tackle against the run than Wilkins at 0.1 yards."
  8. I started young and played a lot at different periods of my life but haven't really had anyone to play against in the last 20 years or so. I learned from my older brother and 'Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess'. We had a few other master chess books laying around. This is the first chess app I have had and it is really challenging, my brain started to hurt the first time I played from not playing for so long.
  9. Don't waste any capital on Solomon Thomas. Move it along.
  10. I downloaded Magnus' free chess app. recently. You can simulate playing him at different ages. I hadn't played in years and I have only used it a few times. His 14 old self beat me pretty easily about 5 times in a row so I started lower and beat him when he was 8☺ I have won one game so far against 10 yr old Magnus out of 7. Feels good to play chess again and exercise my brain in that way.

  12. That would be my ideal, #15 and 2 2nd rounders. DT OT WR TE in the first 3 rounds in whatever order they fall.
  13. good list. I forgot to list Winovich, the guy is incredibly athletic for his size and goes all out. wonder if he makes it to the 4th, if so the Bills should snag him. He was incredible the year before last when he was healthy, would be psyched if they got him.
  14. I can imagine that being really annoying.
  15. I just figured out that if you tap on the plate it gives you the answer. Evidently if you are not color blind you won't see anything on plates 14 and 15. I am extremely nearsighted but not color blind at all.
  16. I could see all the numbers and the squiggly lines but what were plates 14 and 15 about. I could differentiate colors but couldn't make out any particular numbers on those two.
  17. Metcalf is as agile as a 300 lb lineman. His 3 cone and shuttle times were incredibly awful, bottom 5 percentile of wrs. There were literally 300+ lb linemen more agile than him. Not to mention he is not great at catching the ball. He is a blazing fast workout warrior. Meager production in college, AJ Brown outproduced him by a huge margin. I hope the Bills stay away.
