    New class of fabricators

    Teaching Midshipmen fabrication this term. This generation of students shine in computer skills but lack in hands on skills. Some I have to show which end of a file to hold. Pics show them grinding their lathe tools. Next week I have to teach them to set up for turning and facing steel on the...

    Giants fall apart again at the end of the season. As KiwiPhil would say "bunch of Sheilas"! Blizzard had less impact on my Sunday. Going to shovel for hours and vent some frustration. Be safe...

    Week 11 of the NFL

    Wonder which green shirt this pass is going to???? Turnovers, mistakes, penalties, turnovers, 4th and 1 for 50 yd TD, turnovers.... My son's freshman highschool team showed more discipline this week. Not going anywhere fast this year if the ball generousity continues. I am pretty certain...

    Week 7 of the NFL

    A very poor start Monday Night giving up the ball twice in the first 5 minutes in the Dallas red zone which made things a little uncomfortable in the Angus household!! All better by halftime. Defense sidelined a fifth QB in seven games. Offense overcame and shined. That Dez dude on the Cowboys...

    Week 5 of the NFL

    NY Giants looked very strong today. Eli and Nicks hooked up effortlessly, scoring in the red zone more often than not. The defense held Arian Foster, the NFL's leading rusher with 540 yds in the first 4 games, to NINE YARDS with 4 min left in the game!! Special teams was decent, and the Scotsman...

    Week 3 of the NFL

    Two stinkers in a row for my NY Giants :mad: Stupid penalties, turnovers, missed field goals, and a lack of any spark made for a long day. The only saving grace is shortening the watch via DVR. I'm going to the NYG vs Bears on Sunday night. Hope to see some effort for my efforts to be there!!!;)...

    Week 1 of the NFL

    The NY Giants did well to beat the Carolina Panthers this afternoon. Eli was cool and passed well. Receivers bobbled alot of attempts leading to turnovers. Nicks was on fire near the end zone! The defense was working hard and stopped the running game and pressured the passer into many errors...

    Today @ 3 pm it was 104 degrees F and 85% humidity and not a breath of breeze. Heat index of 112 deg +. Dropped a feeder leg to the Academy and had to shut down all A/C. Overseeing roof work this afternoon was pure torture. Nowhere to find relief. Broke all time records for July 6 and hottest...

    Opinions/experience with Cooper Tires

    Need tires for my Dodge 1500 Ram. Priced some local tire shops for the Goodyear SR-A that came with the vehicle new (80,000 miles on them now) and nearly fainted. Did some research and found a nice price local for Cooper Discover H/T. Reports rate the tire comparable to my originals. Anyone have...
