  1. Every time I freak out that rolls are lost in the mail they show up the next day. So hopefully they arrive today or Monday.

    Did I miss something (very likely), what happened to your hands and legs??

    They just got fucked up (nerve damage) from the chemo I was on for my lymphoma. There was some muscle wasting and a lot of weakness. My legs have been improving every week and I’m pretty happy with their progress (I cannot run/walk fast or do uneven ground very well yet, though). As for my hands, my 4 main fingers work pretty well, but my thumb function really sucks. I still can’t really oppose them, which makes simple tasks very hard.

    Nerve (and muscle) recovery is really slow process so I’m still hopeful, but it’s definitely frustrating.

  2. I sent out some 120 myself that should be getting delivered to the lab today. It’s nothing real special, but I wanted to use the Mamiya a bit and see if it was worth getting a spot meter or not.

    My hands and legs still aren’t quite recovered enough to shoot super well unless I setup on a tripod, which I was able to do on a quick trip to Big Bend a few weeks ago. I didn’t shoot much, but at least I shot some.

  3. Anyone ever visited Forever Young Records in Grand Prairie? Good or decent selections? Thought about stopping in on my way to East Dallas.....thanks

    It’s a cool place to visit and they have an awesome selection, but their used prices are generally insane. The new arrivals section has some reasonably priced stuff, but it isn’t sorted at all so it’s really a slog to dig through.

    Their new stock is also very good though and they have a lot, so it’s worth it for that.
  4. If I played in a league that went into week 18 I would quit. That’s some dumb fucking shit most years. 
     
    Won my home league and finished second in my more competitive auction $ league. Grabbing Puka on waivers after week 1 carried both of my teams. 

    It’s infuriating, but I have placed either first or second 5/6 years in the one I’m in, including this year where I should win again (I’m up 46 going into next week), so I continue to stay in it.

    I also won in another league today, and will lose in a third one unless Justin Jefferson scores 47. Not bad overall.
  5. I lost Hock in one league, but it’s a ridiculous 8 team one so there’s decent options available at least.

    Anyone know how NFL.com leagues determine tiebreakers? In the same league as above, my brother tied down to the hundredths (pending any stat corrections). He would face me which would be cool, but I have no idea if the commish (whom he is facing) will have to make the call or not.

    Update. He lost by .2 on the Lamar kneel down at the end.

  7. Holy shit. Was in a 2 week matchup that I really had no shot at going into tonight facing Purdy and CMC, but then Purdy sucked and got hurt and put up a goose egg, and those passes by Darnold to Aiyuk at the end won it for me. I was sweating that last CMC goal line carry. I won by 3.

    Made the finals in 3/4 leagues, bitches.

  8. Nearly every team has released the same statement now denying involvement and supporting Susie (without saying her name directly).

    I feel this is an MBS vs FOM thing.


    Edit: every other team except Alfa as of this post.

  9. Wait, wait ... the accusations are "rooted in intimidatory and mysoginistic behavior"? Missed that somehow the first time I skimmed it.  Sorry Susie, but that's a huge load of horseshit. What a massive deflection. That makes it look even more like they did do it imho.


    It’s aimed at the garbage tabloid rag that published the story, which has quite a history of BS. They have lost several libel lawsuits over the years, and I’d expect that they may add another to the pile once this is over with.

  10. Yeah, Puka’s floor seems higher without Jimmy G throwing to Davante.
    Looks like I get to enjoy a couple weeks off. Guy in second place lost so I have a 2 game lead now with one game left in season, plus I already have a first round playoff bye. Let’s see if K9 and ETN can find their mojo in the meantime.

    4 teams lol. I tried 2 once and could barely keep up.

    It’s a lot, especially when on 3 different platforms.

    3 is good. 4 is probably too much, but I’m a degenerate.
  11. My post on Logan from a week ago on the old thread:




    Since there’s not really another Charles/Russell/Lando/Albon in the F2 ranks currently, teams probably aren’t willing to risk a new driver going through a steep learning curve again unless/until they have to.

    Even then, getting on top of these cars and especially these tires can take a little while.

    Oscar Piastri, who by all accounts is pretty damn good, hasn’t really even come close to getting on top of race tire management yet.
  12. He had a whole season to show what he could do. I guess he improved along the way, but not enough, imo, to get another year. Too many other good young drivers that could be promoted from F2 or wherever.
    Speaking of, how the hell does HAAS roll with their two guys? You'd think they'd want some youth in at least one of the seats.
