I was just quoting the post that got deleted. Well, part of it anyway.

Loudon county schools are closed.

Weenies are cray.

I can’t believe it took anyone 8 tries.

@WxWatcher007, I can’t imagine the grief you’re going through but know you’re thought of often.

You hit on something that I didn’t say but also try to stress to students. Besides not being cheap, trade schools are tough. There’s a misconception that going to a trade school is “easier” than college and that’s not at all the case. It’s a focused curriculum and zero fluff. And as you said, it’s still going to cost you. Though if you’re lucky some companies are so short of workers that they are willing to help pay for equipment and/or classes. But I’m preaching to the choir. Lots of folks on this board know way more about this than me because they’ve experienced it.

Just my opinion, but it’s not that college is overrated, but there’s no doubt that tech and trade schools are WAY underrated. With all of my hobbies and penchant for tinkering, it’s the route I should have probably gone, though I love telling my students that college was the best 16 years of my life! It’s just so different now. Tough to get a degree these days without a mountain of debt. Sounds like your son is level-headed beyond his years, and a great opportunity for you to work alongside him.

Life is good. Been working on my new electric brewery (with @losetoa6’s help!) and enjoying whatever life brings. My gf and I got lucky this summer and got to travel to Croatia between covid spikes, and man, what a beautiful place for meeting new people and keeping life in perspective. Good to see you and hope that your family is well. I often wonder how that entrepreneur son of yours is doing. Keeping my fingers crossed that there are a lot more opportunities this winter for everyone to catch up.

God damn. Old @Bob Chill would ignore weenies and be so pc. The new one is so much better. “Two levels below a deb” is perfect.

Thanks! This is my first year at fantasy and I did it reluctantly. A place I work needed one more so I did it and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Especially when my team got all banged up and hot with Covid. It was fun piecing together a team. I feel pretty good about how I did, especially since I had over 80 transactions. Obviously our league was a flat pay and do as many transactions that you want. I had the most by far. And the most on IR too. I still don’t know what I’m doing, but it was fun.

I somehow won the first round a couple weeks ago, but lost last weekend because I didn’t pick the Dallas defense. I had the opportunity to take them and couldn’t because I’m a wtf fan. What a homey move. My opponent ended up taking them and beat me by 20 points. Dallas D score 26 points. Going for third place and breaking even for the year today.

Oh, it’s real now.

Your area’s time is coming next Friday.

Yesterday.

Monday went from sunny this morning, to 20% chance this afternoon, to 50% of light snow this evening. Can’t wait for the winter storm warning after tomorrow night’s euro.

Winter Classic is in classic winter northern tier conditions of -3F. correction: -8F

Snow on the ground and radiational cooling. Duh.

Dry-uary just ended here. Manhattans all around with the good stuff.

Crazy talk. The nam is Andy Cohen last night.

I’m not smart enough to know what will happen, but I’m also not dumb enough to think that’s right.

I deleted my post because it’s so fuzzy. I don’t know how to embed the gif of 24 hour precip from hours 60 and 66 of the last top two runs. But, yes, what you said.

It’s an improvement. Still time!

Hour 48 of the nam is like 288 for the globals. Never too late!
