My wife sent me a note yesterday suggesting that we head to Pennsylvanian next summer for the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg. I told her I wouldn't want to be there on the 4th as the crowds will be horrendous.

I got the bright idea of tying it in with a couple of ball games. I checked the schedule and saw that StL plays in Cincinnati on Aug 24-26 they then go on to Pittsburgh Aug 27-29. That is prefect! Maybe we could even catch a game in DC on Aug 30-31st before heading home. (They are actually there through Sept 2nd.)

Great we both agreed. I looked at the prices for tickets. Looks like we will be able to get some pretty reasonable ones. That is one of the nice things about following StL out of town. Teams like Cincinnati and Pittsburgh don't have the winning tradition of the Cardinals . They don't have the attendance that StL does so they have to have lower prices.

I was laying out an tentative itinerary when I realized I was looking at the 2012 schedule and planning for the summer of 2013.

Sitting at my computer I was trying to figure out if we could do it this year instead of next year. The crowds will certainly be less at the battlefield.

The one thing that keeps getting in the way is that we have a major remodeling project underway on our house. Fixing some things in the attic. More insulation, new bath, new windows. Fixing the cracks in the ceilings. Paint of course. Taking out a couple of windows and putting in french doors. A deck off the new door. The kitchen needs an upgrade too but that may have to wait a while.

Oh the torture- a baseball/ civil war vacation or some much needed repairs to the house. 😣

If I only had the unlimited income that ZS has. :-"

Are you planning on doing the work on your house, or are you going to get fleeced by a contractor(s)? Most of the things on your list are things someone can do on his own just by calling in a favor or two from a buddy.

The only thing I envy of Zombieslayer is the diversity of his female conquests.

We had him lay the laminate flooring a year ago. I toyed with the idea of doing the floor myself but when I saw all the tools he used that I do not own and can not proficiently operate I was glad I didn't even attempt it. He and an assistant completed the project in 3-4 days. It would have taken me more than a month to do the same and it would not have looked as nice.

As for income, it's all a wash. Cost of living here is ridiculous. NSD and I compared rents and ours is not surprisingly significantly higher. Would be nice to have my income in Wisconsin though. That would be phat.

I am planning on buying an old Victorian within the next 5 years. I've always dreamed of living in one of those. There are plenty in Northern California.

As for flooring, let someone else do it. It's a lot harder than people realize.

you will love the home I am sure. When they are fixed up they are so classy. I have lived in so many ranch homes, since the mid 60's, it wouldn't take me long to get tired of all the stairs.

Floor done by a professional. My cue was when I laid the self sticking tiles about 15 years ago. I sweat blood trying to get it to look right. I knew this would be a lot harder.

Today they straightening the ceiling of the garage. I could never do that either. Until they pointed it out I didn't even notice that it was beginning to sag. Kinda like middle age. You get use to the way things look.

The Slayer is being entirely too modest, and he knows it. In reality, his life looks like this:

When we were in Milwaukee together, women would literally throw themselves at his feet as he passed. It was awe inspiring.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.
beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.
beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
