T&C

Funny thread, thanks for the laughs.

Lets go Jets... this is a weird series east and west. Jetttttssss

Agreed, Go Caps! It would be amazing if they took out tampa in 4 games.

From what I know most tv's nowadays use virtually the same parts and are just marketed under a different name. Yeah, that is a sweet TV for sure... if the cat ever went on a rampage and broke it I'd go out and buy another one.

Grabbed attention when it came out for sure.

Going by that I can only write half of...

I know right. Why pay for something when you already have it, it's like paying twice.

I got to thinking... if this is a small town like they say (I haven't googled it so don't really know), this could turn into a "where were you when" kind of scenario, kind of like us with say the Balloon game or the freaking forward pass game. If I lived up there I'd for sure hit the hotel up and watch with the rest of the town. Jets had better win tonight so they have a buffer, LV ... although a one hit wonder loaded team, will be deadly at home. Go Jets!

We are opposite with the DVR thing... I watch everything "live" but our viewing habits are probably different, I have no use for one. Regarding the Ticket, even when I had Directv, I dumped the ticket probably 10 years ago... If the Bills game is on regular TV fine. If not I just dial it up on the computer or watch at the BBB around the corner. Got tired of spending $300 a year on something I already had. I've got to say, it felt/feels pretty good to get out from under the wing of a money grabbing monster like Directv. Now if I could only figure out a way to create electricity for the house lol.

I bought one of these back in December at walmart and it's the best tv I've ever owned by far. Crisp clear picture, easy to use, has inputs for anything you want, tons of free movies etc., and it would be less than half of your budget.

A case of bad timing: 'Nobody's happy about it': Power outage set for Rossburn, Man., during Jets game Manitoba Hydro has planned a power outage in western Manitoba town from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday CBC News · Posted: May 14, 2018 5:00 AM CT | Last Updated: 5 hours ago People in the town of Rossburn will have no power from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, during the Jets playoff game against the Vegas Golden Knights. (Chris Seto/CBC) 1 comments People in the town of Rossburn, Man., will be cheering on the Winnipeg Jets in the dark Monday night. Manitoba Hydro has scheduled a power outage for maintenance from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. — conflicting with Game 2 against the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL's Western Conference final. Extra 10,000 Whiteout Street Party tickets to be released Sunday Winnipeg Jets fans fill downtown for first game of Western Conference finals John Kostecki, who owns the Rossburn Hotel, said a hydro employee put up a bulletin Friday about the outage in the small town 275 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg. "First thing that went through my mind was 'What, are they crazy?'" he said. Manitoba Hydro needs to upgrade the substation's transformer and the planned outage notification came May 9, before the Jets beat the Nashville Predators in the second round of the NHL playoffs, a spokesperson said in an email. "Generally, scheduled outages are planned days in advance to make sure staff are available, customers have plenty of advance warning and that it's scheduled for minimum inconvenience," the spokesperson said. Kostecki said he understands the maintenance work needs to be done but the timing is not ideal. "I would rather have hydro fix the problems instead of having an unplanned outage, but they maybe could have done Tuesday," he said, laughing. "Nobody's happy about it." Fire dept. generator will fuel game Over the weekend, Kostecki ran into the town's fire chief and they came up with a solution to the problem. The local fire department has a diesel-powered generator that needs to be run a few times a year and the chief is loaning it to the hotel, he said. "Instead of just burning the diesel for nothing, we decided to wire up our satellite and our TVs in the bar and we're going to watch the game by candlelight and cook hotdogs on the barbecue," he said. The hotel will charge patrons $10 at the door and all proceeds will go to the community's skating rink. Getting on the Winnipeg bandwagon? Vancouver has as Jets win again "We're trying to fix the roof, and put in some new lighting in there, so it's going to a great cause," Kostecki said. The Winnipeg Jets face off against the Vegas Golden Knights at 7 p.m. CT Monday at Bell MTS Place.

This is a cut and paste comment I made on another site regarding cutting the Directv cord after 17 years: Update: Signed up for the Sling TV blue package... $25 a month and has every show or channel we watched on Directv. NFL Network, Food channel, H&G, Nat Geo, History, etc. $75 a month savings for the same damn thing. Plus, Ruku has tons of movies and shows for free... and none of this accounts for what the antenna brings in. One thing though, they won't use a prepaid credit card... so I have an American Express prepaid card that I'll just use up on food shopping and then throw it in the garbage, had to use my bank card.If anyone is considering cutting the cable bill just look at the packages Sling offers and decide from there, best move I've made this year.

I live 5 miles as the crow flies from Amalie Arena... I stepped outside and could smell the stench coming from there, had to come back in. Tampa is going down Stormy Daniels style... no way they win this series, kind of makes going to work just a little more fun.

I love how quiet Amalie Arena is... no way is tampa coming back in this series with the next two games on the road. Golden.

Actually it was a documentary... I'll put it over there.

...to each and every one of you Mothers.

This could be Buffalo in Montana.... tee hee

As long as Tampa doesn't make it to the cup I'm good, although I'd like the Jets to win it all after all they've been through in their franchise. Caps winning the cup would be fine here too though.

Everything is going as planned... Caps win, Jets win.

Haven? You missed a subtle message a few posts back.

I live in Tampa and am rooting for the Caps... it's 93 here right now, this is a hockey town? Also pulling for the Jets, can't imagine what their fans went through for those years.

Orlando is beautiful at this time of the year... you should head on over.

I like how someone recorded this but didn't try to get the car out of there. Junk/prop car maybe... or a camera on a tripod and no one around.

This book cover reminded me of another writer, I had to google it to get his name right... Troy Nesbit. Read all of his books and also Franklin Dixon was a writer in the same style.
