      It's a shame. On the day the NFL chose to honor the loss of John Madden, Antonio Brown had to steal a little of the spotlight for himself. What a clown…

      After seeing the replay, I couldn't help but think of this .....

      Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

        Last week while I was on I-10, a vehicle in front of me kicked up an old 18 wheeler tire tread which destroyed the lower front portion of my bumper (along with the radiator and intercooler).  Just got the estimate back today for $5100.

          Shit, so sorrt Clint….

          Random observation.  It always amazes (appals) me that old treads do not seem to get picked up and removed in the USA.  I am always aghast when travelling the freeways how much rubber is left lying around.  It is clearly very dangerous, and thank god, that in this case, it was only the car that was damaged.

            Thanks Giles, could've been much worse and insurance is bearing the brunt of the repairs, although I'm sure our rates will be going up soon.  You're right though, it's ridiculous how much trash and old treads get left on roadways in the states.  Years ago while traveling early morning before the sun came up, I narrowly missed hitting a sofa which was blocking both lanes.

                  To hell with that @sabergirl  Go nuts and enjoy your anni @Joberwocky Everyone’s gonna get it sooner or later.  Omicrons like the pit bull of covids.  It sounds scary but it ends up just licking your face.

                    I've had some crazy congestion the last day or so, but kinda figured it was just the time of year.  Also a but of a sore throat, but had thought might that might have been me cranking up my exercise recently and not being on top of my breathing. Oh well, hoping that's kinda the extent of my symptoms

                      It is getting odd.  In the past ~ 2 years, I didn't know and haven't heard from anyone who has gotten COVID in my immediate circle of colleagues, friends and families.  In just the past three days, I now know of 6 people who had it.  Luckily, none of them experienced serious symptoms.  This Omicron variant is hitting closer to home.  Stay safe everyone.

                        Shipping delays.  My 309 sold to my by @JP on Dec 17!!! Is still sitting in Mexico somewhere.  It’ll be too warm to wear it by the time it gets here.  If it gets here.

                          Oof. I hope it got sent via a different carrier than Correos de Mexico, or you may never see it. The postal service in Mexico is dismal. Anything important has to be done ups or fedex.

                            It was sent Royal Mail from London.  I don’t know who the Mexican partner is but I’m not optimistic.  It was a new shirt too so I paid full price.  What a bite in the ass.

                                I’m in New Mexico so I guess that was their closest partner.  Fingers crossed

                                  Just seems like it would create extra customs complications. Bizarre

                                    It will be in bond, so no extra customs issues…..

                                      @Matt that sucks, royal mail sometimes struggle getting things from A to B domestically. Hopefully your shirt shows up soon

                                            Omarion (Omicron) variant is running rampant in my neck of the woods. I'm the only left on my immediate team that hasn't caught COVID. What a time to be alive.. 😢
