Agree 100%, big fan. No beer while driving, but I am on my way to pick some up!

Nice Shield.

Just watched Open Range and The Revenant. For a crap day outside, these are two intense flicks to watch while sitting by the fire and eating large portions of comfort food.

Good day for flicks and comfort food. This is a Sante Fe chicken from the slow cooker with black and garbanzo beans, green onion, diced tomatos and cheddar over quinoa. Added hot sauce just because. First up was Open Range with Duval and Costner. Now playing, Leo in The Revenant.

Can't rescue enough puppies or firearms.

During finals week, our campus would do a primal yell at midnight to blow off some steam. It was kinda like the Gunny saying, "Show me your war face!" More often than not, at our frat house this turned into the unofficial finish line for seeing who could make their gf scream the loudest.

Happy Birthday Bionic!!

Poured hard.

That SMS will wake ya up! What's the middle brew?

Great beer to celebrate a great person and player about to be drafted by the Giants.

Lynch might have added a trophy had Pete Carroll not inexplicably called a pass play on the goal line in SB 49. He was over 100 yds rushing that game. Career, he averages almost 5 yds per carry in the playoffs. However, he offers next to nothing in the passing game. Barkley can do both.

Last years #2 pick, Trubisky, signed for about $29 million. Barkley's figure, presuming he goes to the Giants at #2, would be in that ballpark. However, Barkley will be a producer from Day 1 unlike rookie QB's who need time to develop. Also, I think you left out Todd Gurley as a viable RB comparison to AD. Drafting Barkley isn't going to put NY in cap hell either. OBJ wants to be the highest paid player in the NFL, but that doesn't mean he will be after all of his antics and injuries. In fact, he could still be traded tonight. Think about it: with Barkley as the new face of the franchise, the team doesn't need OBJ anymore. He's put up some nice stats, but hasn't done jack squat in a playoff game. No one else on the current roster outside of Vernon is a mega contract possibility. I say take Barkley and let him take the franchise to the Promised Land.

How do I vote when I have both a regular season any sex tag and DMP's to fill? I'm happy to fill both tags.

Breast meat.

You got me, Biz. I totally skipped dinner tonight and went straight to dark, rich, high ABV beer drinkin!

Debating whether or not to start up a fire pit and get into the barrel-aged stuff. The Breakfast Stout is a good start though.

If the Giants take Barkley, I "might" start watching them again.

A couple years ago, I backpacked with my gf to a spot behind Marcy with the goal of getting up early and making the summit for sunrise. Even though we were treated to breathtaking views all alone on the summit, we missed the actual sunrise by a bit. I've been wanting to do another sunrise hike ever since then, but let too many excuses get in the way. Well, Saturday afternoon I saw a gorgeous sunny forecast for Sunday and made the decision to go for it on Algonquin then summit Iroquois and maybe Wright on the way home. Leaving the house at 10:45 pm got me to the Loj by 12:50 am. After getting squared away, I signed in at 1:20 am with the goal of enjoying a hot coffee on Algonquin's summit at sunrise. The trail up is easy to follow and was a hard packed mix of snow and ice. Boots were fine the first couple miles in then I put the spikes on. There is a junction where the paths to Wright and Algonquin split at 3 miles. It was now 4:15 am and I was feeling pretty good about making the summit in plenty of time. This is pretty much the point where I had wished that I had had some sleep and done a whole lot more cardio. The final half mile up is steep! As the tree line thinned out, I could actually see this huge massive gray dome against the clear black sky. It wasn't a cloud. Nope, this was the summit and I was nowhere near it. Legs cramping, lungs burning and winds blowing hard, I kept moving at a hobbit's pace to make my goal. No way was I going to miss this. I finally stepped onto the summit with 15 minutes to spare. I normally like to take a lot of pics, but the frigid winds were so brutal that the camera battery went nearly dead, my cell wouldn't start up and my hand with just a glove liner on was frozen numb in less than 5 minutes. No way to brew coffee either. And then in a moment none of those things mattered as I was treated to the most beautiful sunrise I've ever seen. Hope you enjoy the few pics that I was able to take. Iroquois was much more forgiving and Algonquin's summit was "warmer" the second time passing over to return home. For me, this was an epic hike all around. Only 13 more 46ers to go. Anyone else here complete the 46 or working on it?

Damn, the wind must have blown some dust or sand into my eye. Thanks for sharing that mowin.

Great to see you enjoying so much KBS.

I read maybe the first 4 or 5 posts when that thread started, then never gave it a second thought until your comment above. Good Lord what a clusterf#@& that turned into!

Brilliant way to run a company: buy product to sell at a profit, but destroy it instead. The shareholders must be thrilled with that CEO. Wonder if they'll be burning Nikes and other sneakers every time an athlete rapes or beats a woman?

I'm going to choke myself in his honor. Godspeed Gunny.

That is a damn fine plan!

Excited to finally find good buns! Venison bacon burgers with smoked maple cheddar cheese and sauteed red onion on a toasted gourmet brioche burger bun.
