Pretty bummed we lost Wallace for that contract. Especially with no guarantee that white comes back 100%.

I have to trust the process on this one...there has to be some other direction McBean or Wallace wanted to go. Wallace might want a shot and showing he can be a #1 cb and wouldnt be able to prove that in Tre's shadow.

How was your trip?

Awesome. Probably more history in Barbados than any of the other islands we’ve visited. Beach’s we’re ok, food was great. Highly recommend the local rum, especially some of the drinks. I had a rum martini that had sage in it and it was crazy but incredible.

Just finished the last kingdom on netflix, one of the better shows I've watched.

Next on my list after I catch up with drive to survive. Hopefully before the first race of the season this weekend.

For those who work out (I think BuffaloWeather does)...is taking a week off from lifting detrimental or helpful?  I haven't been to the gym since Tuesday.  Got busy with other things and just felt like I needed a break.  Definitely getting back in there after work.

Completely agree with @BuffaloWeather  Taking a week or even longer off can help, especially if you’re lifting heavy and constantly straining your CNS. I just had ten days off for vaca and my workouts when I got back we’re awesome.

Cold, rainy stretches in April are the worst. We're hitting the time of year where I'm always hoping for above average temps.

Officially a season ticket holder can't wait! @Buckeyes_Suck We gotta meet up for a pregame beer this upcoming season. 

Also just found out I won a trip at work to Florida in June for being a top 3% employee, if only they gave me more than a 2% raise...

You really need to change jobs to make more money. I get comfortable and don't do well with change. 

Congrats on joining the club! I'm game, we have a pretty nice tailgating spot not far from the players entrance.

Agree with you on the change of jobs. Both my wife and I moved a couple times before we got the pay and benefits we were looking for. It sucks but its usually the only way to do it effectively.

Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders.  This is his third team and he's back in the NFC East where his career began.  Curious to see who the Colts will acquire.

Havent liked him since he was a baby about Foles winning the Superbowl.

So I’m going to be getting a new pickup here at some point (deposit down, now waiting for transport I guess) 

Any of you guys deal with insurance or have any recommendations? I’ve used local small towns insurance til now but kinda considering going to a big name one. Geico, State Farm, etc…
I went with a new company last April and this guy is just to incompetent. He’s messed too many things up in 10 months that god forbid I make a claim I’m afraid I’ll not actually have coverage or something.

Geico has been great for us. Best friend is an insurance broker and he can only match their rates but without all the bells and whistles geico offers.

Finished with 3 inches of crusty heavy concrete here.

Currently 37° with breaks of sun and very windy.

Plowed 4 driveways in the neighborhood including my own.

 

Is this a 4wd Deere? 
if so would you recommend?

I have a husqvarna that is desperately under tractioned…

Start a tropical page with people who actually care like@Syrmax and @BuffaloWeather.

  I hope you're having a wonderful time in your tropical paradise.  

Lol thanks. It’s been sunny until today but it looks like rain until I leave Sunday. 
 

Back home it looks like at the very least I got enough snow to prevent muddy paws. 

83 and rain here

As of February 28th, I believe, only a negative rapid test, as opposed to PCR, is required for vaccinated people to enter Canada.

Awesome, we miss our day trips to Canada. The US side of the falls is crap. 

Solid 4” of snow here, with the bottom inch being pure slush. Glad to have gotten it plowed before it froze.

Let the time lapse run for 5 hours today and it only used 60% of the battery.  Drone shots would have been epic!

 

 

That reflection wave at 1:45 is epic. Great vid

Got more video to sift through later but this one was probably the best with the trees smashing into the bridge deck.

These videos just don't do it justice. I highly recommend anyone here to check this out if you have the time.

Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert are the new Brady, Ben, Rivers, Manning in the AFC but obviously a tier below those guys. 

With the way the league has changed if Allen or Mahomes want it I think they could crush all of Brady's stats. However I think it would be tough to make or win as many championships without Belichicks (mis)interpretation of the rule book.

@Buckeyes_Suck You're going to Barbados? What are the testing requirements for them? I saw Norway removed all testing requirements and will likely see many more being added soon. Excited to get back to international travel this year. I know Puerto Rico doesn't require testing too. 

Same as most, PCR within 3 days or rapid within 1 day. If your vax'd no quarantine, i think if your unvax'd you quarantine when you get there until a second test comes back negative.

Currently they require masks in all public places, but at least we can rent a car and things are open. When we went to St Lucia this time last year we literraly had to be shuttled to and from the house and couldn't leave the property.

Were planning our next Europe trip now for early July and will probably go somewhere that has relaxed requirements. The big think I'd like to see happen is canada calm down, because flying out of toronto is so much easier. For Barabados we have to fly to NYC tomorrow and then Barbados Sat.

Anyone got a clue as to timing? Flying out to Barbados Friday night/Saturday morning.

First time snowmobiling today, might be hooked. Did about 100 miles across the southern tier. One more reason to love snow. 
 

Very dense 12” in Clarence, a little less out in west falls. I think this is the deepest snowpack I’ve had since moving to Clarence 5 years ago. The Snow allowed one of my dogs to catch a squirrel, thankfully the dog just wanted to play and let it go.

@Buckeyes_Suck Just finished dont look up, really enjoyed it. Was hilarious. Loved the ending.

I’ve gotta watch it again. I think this movie sticks around like wedding crashers or step brothers.
