    Patriots are just so predictably boring to watch and I haven’t ever had much faith in their Ability to get skill players from the NFL equivalent of 5 below or ocean state job lot . I wouldn’t have thought I would have said this 10 years ago.. but Without Brady B.B seems not special , he’s a great defensive mind but I think he refuses to realize Brady was the biggest reason for his championship success (he seems to think everything is due to the system ) and I would anticipate meh results while he is still here . I’m not saying that they would be better without him , but offensively and personal wise offensively I think they probably would be. 
     

    Last year the height of head shaking (to put it politely ) was  to put Matt Patricia as OC. Basically this is the equivalent of any pro Mets here trying to put out competitive forecasts but only have access to the nam and nogaps and JMA. 

    I think Bill wanted BOB all along but he was under contract with Bama and I don’t think Bill wanted to pry him away from Saban. I think he trusted Matty P enough and thought he could be serviceable, but obviously it was a disaster. I’m sure Mac is frustrating to work with too though given his guaranteed 3-5 dumb decisions per game.

    I was noticing the NAM's recent runs really don't have much gradient with this thing. The winds at Logan on the FOUS grid are flopping around at 10 kts. Also, the LI's are around -1 at the regional scope. 

    At least for the NAM's sake, this appears to be more a coincidence/artifact than it is a very good analog for a coastal/winter profile.  Just an observation.

    Yeah I wasn’t reading into it that much. I just liked the fronto look up here while Methuen has a meltdown. lol

    @dendrite i saved empress and italian plum pits and i'm going to graft one onto the other after they sprout for cross pollination 

    Have you grafted before? I may try a couple dozen pears, apples, and plums next year from Cummins. Maybe some nectarines too although my zone is a little tough for them.

    I'd like to try some apples on G969. I prefer free standing grafted trees that end up a little larger. I'll probably use OHxF87 for the pears.

  4. Some of the leaves took damage from the 5/18 freeze as well. My sugar maple leaves wilted up in that and never quite looked the same the rest of the season even though they remained green and "straightened" back out. It was a tough year though between that and the rain/high RH. Even my pawpaws are showing some fungal spots and they're fairly disease resistant.
