Speaking of front porches, I have a wrap around porch now.
we moved, still in Floridum-about 15 minutes away from where we used to live.
bought a house with 700 square feet more than what we had.
2 acres, has a detached bigass garage, pool and pool house
2 acres! Enjoy! That’s what I’m sittin’ on. Love it.
House needs some work, but we knew that when we purchased it.
I put screens on the sliding glass doors, got gutters installed, and the pool leak fixed.
this fall I’m going to stain all three structures.
next year, I’m replacing the deck
Did you hire a pool (cabana) boy for the Mrs?
she did, duh
whose porch is pictured on these articles? is it random?
It’s a free picture, no story behind it. I’m going to take a picture of a real front porch with a real story behind it, but this was just something to start with, or we could just go with random Vikings pictures, I’m open to either. I just used this one to create a template.
Damn…I thought that was your place, so I egged the house this past weekend. I guess I will have to apologize to the owners.
I like the idea of a porch with a couple of rocking chairs on it. maybe unpainted wood. old timey. you know the look.
I could go take a picture in front of the Cracker Barrel.
Wow, that is perfect!
You just need to add the kid from Deliverance to the image and call it a day. Front page ready and on brand.
: )
Did you take that one? That’s really cool.
Nope. I stole if from the interweb.
What’s going on? I tried to post on the Open and I kept getting, “Commenting closed.”
It’s probably for your own good.
you might need to log in again
that’s usually the solution for me when that kind of thing happens
That did it.
It also might be gremlins.
Man, that stinks.
Fan dies at Steelers’ stadium after falling down escalator; authorities investigating after Jets game – CBSSports.com
To end the game, the Vikings & Saints put up 7 consecutive scoring drives plus a missed field goal. The second half, after the first two series ended in a punt for each team, was all scoring. Every drive resulted in a score, except the double doink.
Wait is this the nice guy thread?
Yessir
If I were an optimistic Lions fan, I’d be bemoaning ugly wins by the Vikings and pukers after scoring 45 points and somehow losing
I thought Dalton played pretty well.
Another butt-fugly Vikings win has me very nervous.
Living in the moment I’m happy we are 3-1. All three wins will probably be needed at the end of the season. Looking to the future, I agree, it makes me nervous.
I’m glad that they’re wins and not losses. In the end, these wins could be the difference between making the playoffs or not, or the difference between having home field advantage or not.
Dalton played well, so did Murray
I look at these international games differently (due to travel, time adjustments, etc). It’s about survival, and we survived.
To me, this next game is key. We should crush the Bears at home. If we lose, we’re in trouble. If we barely win, we’re 4 – 1 but I’m nervous, if we win comfortably, we’re (hopefully) on our way to something special.
Plus one on the win column baby!
Nice to put a “W” in the win column over the cheaters, this team has most of the same flaws as the last 4 years
including questionable clock management
Clock management is an improvement over Zimmer. I like Zimmer, but his clock management was doo-doo.
That scenario to end the half was really bad.
Like when they had to stop the clock for Harrison Smith late in the game…could have really cost us. He needs to work on his ball security.
Such crap luck, I couldn’t believe it when they stopped the clock, but, of course it happened just then.
It was a win, SKOL!
I was able to watch most of the 1st half before work yesterday-this team has a lot of flaws that can’t be covered up with a new scheme.
Oline still has issues, red zone offense sucks, 3rd down offense sucks, not running the ball well, run defense sucks, ST been ok ftmp, Kirk has mostly sucked this season. Despite that they are 3-1 and in solid position atm for the playoffs.
5 field goals means you can’t just punch it in. Something needs to change somewhere.
hawt
I hate using the keyboard when my nails get even the slightest bit long. It drives me crazy.
He only has four fingers on each hand.
Well, 3 fingers & a thumb
But he’s also got 2 chins, so it makes sense.
