So, I highly recommend not blowing out you ACL. Pain after surgery is unreal. I can barely move. No weight bearing at all with my left leg for about 6 weeks. I just lay on my couch staring at the ceiling. But, at least I will be back walking in time for summer. So I'm just immobile during mud season

A friend of mine blew his out and complained for awhile after the surgery about the pain, he was swallowing percs like tic tacs.

My left and right rotator cuffs agree 100 percent! A skilled physical therapist is woth their weight in gold... IF you do as they say

I tore mine lifting one day, felt like a rubber band snapped, not great pain at the time but after a few days I couldn't brush my teeth with that hand. My doctor was terrible and didn't even prescribe PT so I looked into things on my own and got my strength back.

I’ve got about 35% of my propane left. I usually fill up in the spring but this year I’m going to roll the dice and probably wait until late summer or fall 

I would take that chance too, I got lucky and got my oil tank filled before it went crazy and haven't used much of it since I've been burning wood.

But...He "retired".  Doesn't retirement nullify the contract?  Players have done that before.

No, he thought TB would let him out of his last year if he retired and I think he wanted to go to another team. TB was stubborn and wouldn't let him out so he played his hand, it didn't work and he's back. In fact that last year of his contract is owned by TB in perpetuity if he ever wants to come back.

Same. 

He couldn't Tampa wasn't going to let that last year on his contract go.

Looks like Phin's still getting snow.

Will is talking about best snow/wind combo of the season, so it seems like we are missing out. That dude is always catching the goods too…what a luckbox. I’d like to snip some of his locks and take it with me whenever I hit the casinos.

LOL, Scott's trying to soften the blow while the rest of us are jumping up and down and high fiving.

7-7.5" in the lowlands.  Still snowing but a lot of wind.  Hard to tell what's going on but sheets of snow moving through the sky.

That's what it looks like here with only one inch. Roads are all ice, nice winter night out.

This has been a wild last 2 hours here in town. Unrelenting snows 

Looked like it was gonna quit and now its back to steady snow with a kicking wind, where was this all winter?

Have a trip up to Oswego booked in June, going for some Kings, trout may be biting too.

power outage again, as soon as the TV reboots, it flickers again, ugh, gusts are vicious, like the other night

I lost power the other night for over 12 hours, I hear the winds again and have my fingers crossed.

Yeah, just enough to push this year ahead of 11/12 on the futility list for me.  I’ve already well surpassed 15/16 which was a complete disaster out here. 

It's been that bad? i give the winter a C here, slighlty below average snow, plenty of cold, I've seen worse. 2012 I was in T-shirt by the end of Feb with little snow.

I don't follow baseball that closely, but the "shift" is where the players in the field move around to take advantage of tendencies by certain hitters to always put the ball in play in certain spots, correct? Why is that being banned? If the hitters don't like it shouldn't they adjust? The fielding team just has to stand in one place now or something? I don't get this one.

I thought they were trying to speed up the game, the no shift rule will allow more hits. I don't like getting rid of the shift.

The little critter melted by 3pm here

Flakes just starting here

I lost power about 10:15 last night and just got it back about 1/2 hour ago. I used my generator but internet/cable was down too.

Rains stopped but winds are howling

LOL that line just flat out died when it entered SW CT. Go figure. 
 

 

Unfortunately it held together here as I sit in dark silence

Crap, lost power

Yup, me too.
 

Tired of the whole failed season.  Lots of good looks, but also lots of fails, which equals a pretty lousy season. 

I get you guys didn't get as much but over here we're almost average snowfall and it's been cold and I think we're slightly below average temp wise so I give it a C here.

I gassed up in the middle of the week at $3.59 for reg, went by last night its up to $4.39, this is just 3 days later.

My kid (almost 11) has a small fortune worth of original Star Wars toys, Matchbox cars and comic books.   I don’t really care, he enjoys them so let it be.  For the most part he’s treated everything gentle except for a few cringe worthy comic book losses.

If only I saved my baseball cards, my friend/neighbor did and sold them for 5k, a few years later he could have had triple that but he did better than me.

I don't give until April 2nd, my birthday, we all know what happened on April 1st, even then the suns so warm you can only enjoy it for a day.
