ExiledInIllinois Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Worked all day... Still @ work till Midnight... Missed the game. Busy here w/yachts going south for winter storage... Commercial push is on before winter... Barges and commodities moving all around... Gorgeous autumn day! Off-shore wind... Perfect on The Lake!

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Ralph is that tall? Rumor has it Boyst likes his guys in chaps too!
Chef Jim Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 How was the air show? Fantastic!! Saw the Angels up close and personal. Way better than a Bills game any day!
CowgirlsFan Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Fantastic!! Saw the Angels up close and personal. Way better than a Bills game any day! Excellent and an apology for the play of my "girls.
Chef Jim Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 I think I will resurrect this topic every week. This week promises to be almost as cool as the Blue Angels. This week I'll be learning how to install a drip system.

Chef Jim Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 I had to take penicillin for weeks to FIX a drip system. Wrong spigot. These hoses are long.
Chef Jim Posted October 18, 2015 Author Posted October 18, 2015 Looks like I had another great day in the sun.

Watched the game in an hour before the Mets started. Collinsworth was right.

Watched the game in an hour before the Mets started. Collinsworth was right. And I was right when for the third season in a row I was singing "I won't get fooled again!"
Dr. Fong Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Third time was a charm. I finally went to watch The Martian instead of suffering through this game. I knew they were going to blow it and they sure did.
Chef Jim Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 I'm taking my Sundays back. Do it. It feels good! Being able to enjoy Sundaya a great. Even when they win there are times during the game you hate them and yell at the TV.
Gugny Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Do it. It feels good! Being able to enjoy Sundaya a great. Even when they win there are times during the game you hate them and yell at the TV. The TEN win was the most un-enjoyable win I've ever experienced as a fan. During yesterday's game, the penalties and mistakes made me lose interest quickly. I can understand not playing well due to a lack of talent. But not playing well because you have no discipline and you're being coached in a schitty way ... that's no fun to watch. This isn't an, "I'm done with this team," rant, by any means. I'm sure I'll watch many of the games. I'm just done planning my Sundays around them.

I'm just done planning my Sundays around them. I finally did that this past Sunday. I just KNEW they weren't going to win. So I went to the movies instead. Felt great not to be stressed out about it. I still felt ****ty after I saw the score, but at least I didn't have to sit there and be miserable.

Two years ago was the last time a Bills loss made me miserable. Last season, I enjoyed the wins and didn't let the losses get me down. This year, even the wins have been unenjoyable to me. The only effect the losses have on me are that I get mad at myself for not doing something more productive on a Sunday afternoon.

The only effect the losses have on me are that I get mad at myself for not doing something more productive on a Sunday afternoon. See I'm the opposite. The games wins and losses the last few years have been miserable for me. The losses for obvious reasons, but the wins I was miserable too because of the ultimate futility of it all. This year was supposed to be different, and I have enjoyed the wins, but the losses have been so tough because they have all been just so unnecessary.

I'm sure I'll watch many of the games. I'm just done planning my Sundays around them. Oh I'm not done with the team either. I still periodically check my phone for score updates but the days of watching the pre-game, heading to a bar to watch the game and then the post-game are waaaaay behind me. There are so many other things to do on a Sunday. Most of us only get two days off a week to have one preoccupied with the schizophrenic elation and hate of a Bills game just isn't worth it. I think the best part of a game is following along on the TBD game day thread. Love 'em, hate 'em, love 'em, hate 'em posts are hilarious. And it all depends on the outcome of 3-8 second play.
