ANYWAY - since it was going to be maybe the last good grillin' day I thought I would get some thick steaks and celebrate the end of life as we know it before WINTER.
I looked to make sure cooking times were correct for a 1.75 inch steak and it said the steak needs to "rest" off the grill for 10 minutes as the temperature actually climbs when you take it off the grill.
That rattled around my brain for a day. "The steak will get hotter once off the grill". How is this possible. You take away the energy and it STILL heats? WELL, I think America is missing an opportunity here.
If it continues to heat OFF the grill, why not make power plants OUT OF MEAT! Free energy. Get a huge piece of meat, heat it and then for 10 minutes you get free energy. Could a very large piece of meat heat Columbus for a day? AND THEN - once the heat dwindles we could feed the homeless - WIN WIN.
Or how about making meat sleeping bags for the poor (not to be confused with what the urban dictionary defines as a meat sleeping bag). Find a good spot under a bridge,wrap yourself in the meat sleeping bag, heat it up and keep warm for the night. When you wake up you can have a little beef jerky breakfast and be ready for the day.
I'm pretty sure I'm onto something.

I sold my car and am now sad. The Subaru (AWOOO II) was a fantastic car for the 210,000 miles I put on it. Only one real issue was about 7 years ago when all of my gauges stared waving at me. A major tune-up took cares that. Our 3 car garage was really only a 2 car because the 3rd spot was REALLY small. Plus with two huge garbage and recycle bins in the garbage just no room.
BTW - loving the barrels. You can put a LOT of garbage in them and the world stays clean. Our neighborhood has a lot less garbage flying around on trash day (but not perfect yet).
WITH THAT SAID - MAJOR WIND is coming later today as the c c c cold front passes by and WINTER IS HERE. Plus a reinforcing blast Wednesday. Expect wind chills Saturday to start out in the zero area. Once the rain starts later tonight after sunset you know the end of fall is near. The other side of that rain is WINTER.

Fanduel - went 10-3 yesterday thanks to the Packers Jamaal Williams. Actually 21% of Fandule players had Jamaal Williams but only 13% owned Kenyan Drake of Miami. Both running backs were key and were in ALL of our games. Kenyan Drake was an injury play. 3rd string and really cheap.
A rule of thumb is if you can get 2 times the worth of a player you will do well. For instance Williams $5,700 so we were HOPING to get 11.4 points (5.7*2). He earned 19.3 and Drake was $5,800 and he earned 21.6
So the last 3 weeks Elwood and I are 22-4 in Fanduel with 3 of those losses by less then 5 total points (very close) We lost 1 game yesterday by 0.22 points which is 2.2 yards for ANY wide receiver.

Gus feels so unattractive. He got the snip on Thursday and when he goes to lick . . there ain't nothing there.
HOWEVER - he does seem a little more restrained and not so . . . excitable. My God we take him to the dog park and there are no dogs even CLOSE to his energy level. Luckily his inappropriate behavior might calm down and he would be forced to testify.

Remember when games were good and taught life lessons?

One of the best economic indicators is RV sales. This year 419,000 RVs were sold which is the most EVER. The RV industry has had a tremendous run since Obama was elected and is now in it's 8th straight year of rising sales. RV sales are sensitive to housing prices and gas prices.

I'm not sure if Wisconsin would have won Saturday night if they would have gotten to play in the final four anyway if you listen to the reason Ohio State was not invited. What a sham the NCAAF is. It's never who is the best - it's who can bring in the most money.

OH - Green Bay still has a 7% chance to make the Playoffs - I say go for draft picks

Seems December is a bad time for the gas fireplace to not work. We are scheduled for a Jan 4th visit for fix it. hmmmmmmm
