Too much TV

Thank goodness for DVRs with so much great television.  We can't find time to watch more episodes of Vietnam even though it's fascinating.  Then The Orville is proving to be MUCH better then I expected and Star Trek looks REALLY good.  I'm not sure what I like better at the moment.  IMDB is giving the edge to StarTrek  7.8 to 7.4.

I finally got DJ turned on to Outlander so we're catching up on that and of course Survivor starts Wednesday along with Seal Team, and Designated Survivor the real hit of the bunch so far.  I'm not a Leah Remini fan so for me Kevin  Can Wait gets booted but The Mick, a totally politically incorrect comedy that I swear is created by conservatives just to give us liberals cringe worthy moments starts soon (this week?).  No, seriously, The Mick will give you something that you will laugh at and then think to yourself "should I be laughing at this?"  moments.  I guarantee it.

++++++++++++++

Speaking of laughing - Gus.

Gus loves sitting on the deck with a trey or water and ice cubes in it.  GREAT FUN.  Yesterday he was trying to grab ice cubes in the deeper water but his nose was an issue.

Then, he figures it out.  He dips his nose into the deep water blowing out creating a stream of bubbles and then grabs the ice.  It was so funny and he looked so proud of himself.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price has spent over $400,000 on government paid private charter jets. Your money working for him so he can be extra comfortable.

The Packers - never a good thing when an offensive coordinator gets fired and your team is the first to play the new one.    It's like betting ON a team that just fired their coach.  IF someone gets fired they are bound to get better.   Luckily the Packers pulled it out of the fire.

One thing that bothered me was they mentioned that it was the first time Rodgers won an overtime game.  Well, it was ALMOST the first time the Packers GOT THE BALL in overtime.

In Fanduel Elwood and I had a tough weekend.  We both felt it was going to be a hard week as there were always holes in salaries.  We always had $400 extra but nowhere to spend it or $100 short to get the perfect player.

Then we picked Philadelphia as our defense like 69% of all other Fanduel players and they totally sucked. We also felt like Oakland was a monster and had Carr as our QB.  GREAT   -0.7 points at halftime I think.

Luckely we had Chris Thompson the running back for Washington and A.J. Green the receiver for Cincinnati. Sadly we had Montgomery from the Packers (65% ownership).

We split going 2-2.

Getting ready for the yearly jaunt to Door County. Should be in the uppers 60s next week up there which is fantastic.  Much better then sleet and wind and cold which it is normally in October.

Gotta run!
