RogerDuke Posted January 8, 2018 Author Posted January 8, 2018 I've caught the cold bug that's been going around. I don't know if I'll be able to stay up long enough to see Georgia beat Alabama. Speaking of Alabama football here's a little Dukes trivia. It was Sonny Shroyer who played Coach Bear Bryant in Forrest Gump. Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted January 10, 2018 Posted January 10, 2018 That's pretty neat! I didn't even know that! I DO know, however, that Georgia lost! Quote
RogerDuke Posted January 10, 2018 Author Posted January 10, 2018 That was some game last night! Even though Georgia lost it was an amazing match up. Just got inside from doing some astronomy. We haven't had many clear nights here but tonight is fantastic. Quote
Spike Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Wife and I cut our Sunday plans short so I could Install a new battery in a relatives car in 20 degree weather with windchills near zero yesterday because said relative didn't feel like waiting at the auto center for an hour or more for their mechanics to change it Saturday . Would have been done taking the old one out and putting the new one in in half an hour if I didn't have to wait in checkout line at Walmart for 45+minutes, I kid you not it was over 45 minutes because some genius only scheduled one cashier to work the auto section yesterday . Luckily got back in time just before sundown to put the new one in the car. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote
RogerDuke Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 I feel your pain. It's been pretty cold here on Lake Erie. The good thing is that it makes us appreciate it more when it's warm. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Amen Roger! It's snowing like crazy here and we don't usually have it like this! I'm homebound! Quote
RogerDuke Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 I saw on the news this morning they're even getting snow in the western Florida panhandle. I woke up to zero degrees and it didn't feel that cold since we're getting used to it. Quote

Kind of sick of the single digit temps as well, wouldn't mind some more snow though for some extra cash. Quote
RogerDuke Posted January 19, 2018 Author Posted January 19, 2018 I actually got to do some more astronomy last night. Another clear one with no bright Moon getting in the way! Quote

RogerDuke Posted January 22, 2018 Author Posted January 22, 2018 I thought The Jaguars were going to beat the Patriots but the Patriots had another one of their miracle fourth quarters. Shucks! Right now the Eagles are leading 31-7. It looks like I'll be rooting for the Eagles in the Super Bowl unless something drastic happens here. Quote

I'll be rooting for the Eagles myself, simply because they're the underdogs and New England is always in it! Quote
RogerDuke Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 I'm a lifelong Steeers fan. I live less than 2 hours to the north of Pittsburgh. I liked them even before they won their first of 6 Super Bowls. If the Patriots win they'll be the second team with 6 rings so Go Eagles.....plus they're a Pennsylvania team. I really wanted to see both Pennsylvania teams get in there. Oh well...Patriots are a great team. I don't like them but their greatness can't be denied. Quote

RogerDuke Posted February 3, 2018 Author Posted February 3, 2018 I reckon Terry has to visit his cousin a lot because of all his old football injuries and you have to visit Terry's cousin a lot from falling down after partaking of of that.... *cue the bluegrass band*......"good 'ol mountain dew" Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote
RogerDuke Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 Just got back from a high school basketball game. The regular season is winding down and the playoffs are approaching in a couple weeks. Quote
Meadowmufn Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I've been watching a LOT of Olympics. Getting over my second bout of the flu this year while still dealing with horrible autoimmune issues. But, I'M STILL ALIVE AND KICKING! LOL. Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote

RogerDuke Posted February 15, 2018 Author Posted February 15, 2018 Good to hear from you MM. I watched men's and women's snowboarding but that's it. Too much else going on between basketball and grandchildren. I'm in the middle of my second bout of a cold but haven't got the flu. I had two colds last season too. I guess that's the new normal when you get older. I only used to get one. Sorry to hear about your autoimmune problems. That's been a problem for awhile hasn't it? Quote

Yeah, I had a flare start in late 2016 and have been on a rollercoaster ever since. I was diagnosed when I was 10 though, so been dealing with it off and on for several decades. Quote

"several" can mean many things from 3 to 20 but I always think of the number seven since it's so close to the word several. Using a little math (10+70) that adds up to a MM that is 80 years old. LOL It's been awhile since anybody's been thrown in the pokey by the Supreme Superior Commander so I'm just trying to get things stirred up....besides I'm way older than MM. Quote
