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.

dfosterf (13h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down
Zero2Cool (19h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"
Zero2Cool (19h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions
dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
