    Woke to -10
    -8 with wind chill -28 right now
    4" of new snow
    Yah, no shoveling today winds howling.
    It will, be a rough walk to go water and feed the birds.

    Yesterday I raked a foot of crusty packed snow off the old goat barn over hang and all of garden blind roof. Good to go
    Stay safe out there everyone in the freeze zone.

    New rant- US skiers are badmouthing the USA but I'll bet they will come back instead of going to another country. Dumb Bunny aka Bad Bunny is badmouthing the US but he'll take US money. I'll betcha.

    I love my grand monsters absolutely love 2 night sleepovers but they destroy my house, what a mess. As empty nesters the house is spotless the siege of the boys is something. reminds me of when my kids were young.

    So evidently we are going to a place where you bring hyper kids and the bounce around and do stuff. I am tempted to tell the wife we shouldn't go because of the flu bug going around, I do not want to hang around a Petri dish. I just got done loading up their nerf guns, going to get shot multiple times and take a few hits to the crotch.

    So took the monsters to the trampoline park for an hour this morning out by noon, dropped the boys off and we went for lunch, late. Wife had 2 beers and napped when we got home. I spent a 1/2 hour putting toys away, emptied the dish washer, did a couple loads of laundry, vacuumed pulled the rugs vacuumed again, then mopped. House back to normal. quiet and clean.

    10:1 a story breaks over the next week, that the background audio/crowd noise, for halftime, was manufactured for TV viewers and maybe pumped into the stadium.

    Bigger story will likely be the ratings drop during haltume :lol:

    I switched to the TPU halftime on OAN, not a country fan either so I took the garbage out and got stuff ready for work in the morning. Commercials suck anymore as well

    I watched that earlier in the day. Even Olympics can't be done live anymore, we have become a lazy world.

    Not a knock on you

    It is that whole 7 hour time difference that is the problem.

    I get it, but the lead ins are all live and they try to treat it as not tape delayed.

    Everyone had already heard about Vonn wiping out before it ever aired. Not sure of you can still see all the events live or not, but I can remember having to wake up at 3 or 4am to see certain events live back in the day.

    Semantics I guess, doesn't help having the most boring SB of all time close things out for the working folk.
