Getting old is a beating. Been having issues with some tendinitis in my elbow/forearm, so I took a few days off from lifting. Then when I went back to it I just worked through it and it’s been manageable. Went in yesterday for normal cardio check (did hour+ long workouts Monday/Tuesday) and the doctor wanted do blood work to check inflammation levels. My cardiologist calls me after hours tonight (which has never happened through all my myriad issues including needing a stent ASAP) to tell me my CPK levels are off the charts high and be there first thing in the morning so they can put me on an IV to try to flush it some. He also wants me to lower the intensity of workouts which seems counter to him telling me to get serious and get in better shape. Now, I’m going to have to rethink what I’m doing after making quite a bit of progress in 4 months. Shit’s frustrating.

Eagles have the Raiders this week, would normally take the Niners and that’s who I had planned. However, with the Indy injuries I would probably hold them until next week as that play is better than the Eagles on the road next week. Just depends on who you have left. My general rule is never take the road team, so that goes against it. If Indy’s backup is out, they will have a hard time even at home.

My big dollar one looked similar. $150k in the pot, switched off of Miami to TB this morning. We had 51 teams left this morning, 1 has made it through with 3 still in play. Other big money pool was similar, 4 made it through with 2 still to play. I won 2 college survivor pools so I don’t feel terrible, but it still sucks to change off a win with that much money on the line this late in the year.

Outlying counties are coming in, nothing from Davidson yet. The outlying counties will all go 70/30 Epps, so Davidson vote numbers will be key.

I have no input on what, but I would probably jump in on something not riding related. I row most days with the time change and cold weather instead of walking/running. Dropped below the 250 mark for the first time in 20+ years, getting closer to 230 which is where I figure I’ll settle. Been keeping measurements on quads, biceps, chest, waist, neck, weight since September. I’ve seen significant changes in measurements while only being down about 13 pounds in the time frame. Going to really start hitting weights hard next week to see what I can do over the next 3 month period.

I’m fine viewing him as a villain, but you’re crazy to think Ole Miss is in the same ballpark as LSU. The only reason they have any sort of relevance right now is because they tied themselves to Kiffin. It’s also just funny at this point to see the commentary. When is the right time for a coach to leave for a tier higher job with the way the portal system works? Kids sit out of bowl games, coaches jump ship before bowl games, it’s just the way of the world. I’m in the Ole Miss backyard, watching them sink back to mediocrity after riding the lightning and getting burned is entertaining.

Some of these takes are quite entertaining. We’re talking about Ole Miss football. 4 out of the last 5 seasons have been their best ever. They got what they wanted out of Kiffin and him leaving was always just a matter of opportunity and money. LSU is a much better opportunity than Ole Miss, so here we go. It happens every year, maybe just not with a playoff team that best case scenario could win one game. We’re not talking about a blue blood job he’s walking away from. Saying all of that, he was king of Oxford (not saying a whole lot just for the record) so he may end up regretting this one. ESPN should run his 30 for 30 on how great it is at Ole Miss on a loop all afternoon.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

Didn’t take long for certain members of this fanbase to start SEC’ing themselves with some of these takes on scheduling and the season. You can’t lose to FL (not even counting OT against MSU and KY) and make some of these arguments with a straight face. -
Guess I will have another SEC kid, Mizzou made her a great scholarship offer (kind of amazed because she filed test optional) and she is going to go ahead and move forward with it. It has been her first choice from the time she started looking. Going to be a pain for us with one in Athens and one in Columbia and us dead square in the middle, but we’ll make it work.

You sound like an Aggy repeating the same thing over and over every page. 3rd downs, missed throws, just sloppy ass play, etc are much more to blame than penalties at this point.

They should be paid or shut the whole thing down. No one should have to show up on a promise of getting paid at some point in the future. That’s not the way this would work. As far as private, I’m fine limiting at the largest airports but past that it would be everyone or no one in my eyes. Park them all or let them all fly. I fly 2-3 times a month and rarely if ever use a major airport. I generally use the smaller airports for 95% of my flights. I had to go into Dulles this week and the FBO’s were loaded down with jets. I bet there were 100+ Saudi (I’m guessing) military guys at the FBO on Monday going out on several Gulfstreams and planes were sitting everywhere they could find a place to put them.

In DC for meetings the next couple of days. My wife and I went down and walked the loop around the reflecting pool and part of the national mall. All I felt was an overwhelming sense of sadness as we walked through the memorials for the hundreds of thousands of citizens that have died in the wars commemorated there just for us to be sitting here today in the shit show that has been created by both sides. The whole system is fucked and dishonors the memories of those that gave their lives for us to get to this point.

Looks like the youngest is locking in on Mizzou if they will give her in state. We were surprised by the campus visit there. The campus was in great shape, most things renovated, easy to move around, and the med school/hospital system is integrated into the campus and a plus to the whole campus itself. Columbia was pretty surprising as a college town. We’re going to tour Arkansas in a couple of weeks and see how that goes.

Hit 58 straight days yesterday of some sort of weights and cardio after deciding the first of September to jump in the deep end of the exercise pool. The guy I’m training with convinced me to run a 5k with him this week which sure as hell wasn’t happening 2 months ago. Didn’t set the world on fire but finished in what I considered a respectable time of 35 minutes (had to take a couple of walks in the middle).
