What's NOT bugging you? (2007 – 2013)

[pitchleague]

casey, you made a grown man cry. Nice story.

 

Okay, maybe not CRY, but at least tears welling up. Is that semi-manly?`

[ccbrew]

Is that semi-manly?

 

Any tears shed when it comes to dogs and sports are very permissible, in my book.

 

I have an 9 year old yellow lab that is healthy and happy right now, and it hurts to even think that someday down the road I might have to make some tough decisions.

[BoneDaddyKool]

That two weeks from tomorrow, I leave my job, and become a bum for a month or two. Then I accept a job working for the man... Homey might play that.

[lukevan]

Homey might play that.

 

Well played.

 

Jenkins blast is definitely sitting well with me right now.

 

Also, the Brewers game being on ESPN tonight is not bugging me.

 

This Starbucks coffee with half a packet of hot chocolate is revitalizing. I may even wake up here soon.

The main piece of advice I can offer is that the only opinions that are valid are those from people who actually live in the household. General advice from the outside is fine; people who visit and tell you 'it's time' are unable to see the big picture.

My sinuses seem to be clearing up a little bit tonight after a week. Hopefully it lasts through to tomorrow.

 

Also, it got me a night off so I could actually watch a Brewers game.

Thanks, jchris, for loaning me the book, it got here today.

 

Not bugging me!

that Jake Brown survived falling 40 feet yesterday

 

because if he died, watching that video would be waaaaaaaay less awesome...

 

if you haven't seen the video:

 

Jake Brown is made of awesome

[brewcrew00]

I agree pogokat, however what made me laugh was the Jimmy Kimmel adjusted video. It's hilarious, not sure if anyone saw it, but just hilarious.

[brewcrew00]

Oh, and the HDNet channel where all these beautiful ladies wear just bikinis isn't bothering me either.

[Brian the Automator]

Casey, I'm really sorry for your loss. I know how much my shepherd-mix means to me, and how much yours meant to you. Obviously you did the right thing, but that only makes it a little bit easier. I dread the day that I have to make that decision with one of my cats or dogs, even though the oldest cats I have have lived a tremendous life, and one much longer than vets initially estimated them to be.

That was a heart-wrenching post, casey

Installing my DVR this morning. I can record stuff now!

[craigharmann]

That my directv is back online. The bolts had come out from the roof, so it's now fixed with longer bolts. Hopefully, starting tomorrow, the Brewers will be watchable, because it was perfect timing for the satellite to go out!

Kayaking.

[1992casey]

Kayaking is way cool, especially in some nice rapids. The only downside is that there isn't room for a cooler of beer.

[Brian the Automator]

Decided to try it for the first time up on Lake Minocqua. It's WAY more fun than canoing. I'm very tempted to go out and buy one now.

[1992casey]

Lots of times we get a group together and use both canoes and kayaks on a river trip. In a kayak, it's pretty much guaranteed that you're going to get wet, even without tipping over. In a canoe, you stand a very good chance of avoiding it; some people prefer that. Anyway, the canoes can handle the beer supply. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

The learning curve for kayaking basics is pretty easy; getting steering skills down pat comes much more quickly than in a canoe.

 

I highly recommend the (Bois) Brule River at Brule, WI (near Superior). The river is tamer south of Highway 2 and more 'exciting' north of Highway 2. I like starting in Brule, going north, then taking out just before the river widens as it enters Lake Superior.

 

Brule River Canoe Rental offers equipment and shuttles. I believe there's also another outfitter in town, too. I see on their website that this is the time of year they sell used equipment.

 

Did you happen to 'practice' tipping the kayak on Lake Minoqua? Getting out of the boat while you're 'upside down' is a good skill to become familiar with before you're forced to do it. It always seems like you're under water forever, but it's really only a few seconds. That's the first thing you have to tell yourself when you dump.

[Brian the Automator]

There's some class I-II rivers in SE wisconsin that I hope to practice on when I decide if I want to buy a kayak. The more I can find in my neck of the woods, the better.

 

I didn't try to tip it, although I probably should have. I was more interested in seeing if I liked it in general. Maybe I'll take a lesson or two before I get more serious about it.

The only downside is that there isn't room for a cooler of beer.

 

Then count me out.

Falafel, Hummus, Baba Ghannough, and steamed grape leaves...mmmm.... Appleton finally got a good Mediterranean Restaurant. For anyone in that area Shishkabob is the name.
