I've been to 13. 2005 Ohio State is still by far my favorite. I think it was the loudest plus I only got tickets last second at the tailgate for cheap. They were 40 yard line with the old folks. I brought in two flasks started sharing, soon I swear every old guy pulled out their flask. Maybe it was because our state at halftime but those old bastards starting standing and cheering the 2nd half. Soon entire stadium was. It was the first time I in person ever saw the old rich folks with an energy to match the students. Never sat in such good seats since.

This reminds me of a post I once saw when searching for something.    It addresses Allison Hill and H-Burg Crime in general.  A LOOOONG time ago I used to help out at the Bethesda Mission.

Yeah, the writer should go back and visit Allison Hill

True story - my wife was taking pictures of an old building there years ago for a newspaper and was hollered at that she should leave the ghost and come with them. 

yeah, its pretty rough. When i'm there, i'm armed.

Thanks!! We've done pretty much everything around - the rail trail in Lebanon, Boyds, etc etc but these are new to me!

Depressing...

First, I learn that CBS has the Whiteout game and therefore, no Kirk Herbstreit, the former Suckeye QB that is now our #1 fan. 

And now the weather. Going to be a fun day and night. @sauss06- interesting call here...go early, claim good parking and get drenched, or show up later, stay drier, and get stuck in a field of sh*t?

Hmmm....

our "current" plan is to leave here at 8. should put us there by 10. My daughter ordered rain ponchos yesterday. I'll take a change of clothes. nothing sucks worse then driving home from State College soaked. we're in lot 11

I've been fretting especially with parking more so than the actual game. Still a lot of uncertainty this far out.

1.07" in camp hill. Dense pea soup this morning. Looks like an amazing 5 days until a total washout of a weekend.

My shingles were so old, the fiberglass was coming out/through in many places which basically left me no shot of getting insurance to pay even if I had damage.   The guess was 25-30 years old. 

wow

My neighbor had amish do his roof and he had to go pick them up and take them home.  LOL.   Slate is cool.  I like the way it looks. 

When I re-do it, they'll be fiberglass shingles. I would not want to guess cost of the slate.

Yea, not sure any asphalt shingles are 50 year regardless of what they say....they do make metal shingles but again those would be 40-50K for a house like mine.

The original part of my house is slate. not exactly sure when they were put on, but 75+ years. its a 12-12 pitch. At one time i'd have no problem redoing that roof, but i'm not as limber as i once was. so I'll be paying the amish to do it

For those following Roof talk, I also found out that even if you are missing shingles, your roof has to be "young enough" to be covered under many insurance policies.  So, if you have the 3-tab type roof which is not put in much anymore, anything 15 and over and many insurances will deny the claim or pro-rate.  20 years and older for arch shingles. 

I don't recall year, but when we built my sister and BIL house, he paid  A LOT extra and we put 50 year shingles on. Part of their house is A frame. believe me when i say i hated it. My dad and i were on one side, working off roof jacks for a loooooooooong time. when others took breaks, my dad was a work horse, no breaks. Anyhow, shingles lasted like 20 years. they ended up suing to recoup some of the money.

That is the issue with people like me, if we lose power and go back to olden times, I am in trouble.  No one will want my skill set anymore :-).   You have the real skills. 

we are fortunate to have a lot of skilled guys in my family. 

And beer is cheap labor 

Just now, Bubbler86 said:

I priced out shingles with Home depot types and it was 7-8k just for the shingles.    That better be 20ABV beer then.  

everyone jokes that my family is like the Amish except we drink. We have built 6 new houses, 4 major additions and countless roofs in our family in the last 25 years. Not so much anymore. the house i built in 1996,  a 28x52 raised ranch, started first week of September and moved in week of Christmas. Only thing not done was the Mountain Stone outside.  

it use to cost 15 cases of beer to shingle our family homes.

Is it just me or is the Ariel shot of 30 men decked out in full military attire just to get a picture of the 5 foot Brazilian dude who made them look like fools and idiots for the past two weeks scream absolute weakness? I laughed because the onion couldn't come up with a better shot or headline. No where in this nation does incompetence get a photo shoot online but here.

i disagree. That area, there is a lot of hiding spots. Did you see pictures of where the guy was laying in the woods next to a log? Yes, he was on the loose for 2 weeks, but they had him contained. That guy wanted out of there, but the constant pressure it wasn't happening. The guy is a murderer. through this, no civilian or law enforcement injuries.   

edit-i'm not even 100% certain those in the picture are state troopers. I think these are spec-ops guys.

Ain't going to lie - I'm somewhat nervous about driving home from Philly late tonight through that general area. My "go-to" routes are quite isolated with next to no traffic. Thinking about taking the turnpike and running his ass over. 

for a case of beer i'll ride shotgun

I had not read that and that is pretty crazy if "some dude" was not being attacked.   Every 5' guy in America is a target now?   

they way i understand he broke into a home and was stealing a .22 w/scope when the homeowner shot at him
