Any timeline on restoration of power?
Click to expand...

Initial estimate was “could be several days” (that turned out to be true) but then was told it would be on by midnight two nights ago and then the same last night, but still nobody has even started to work on it. I’m quite okay with hanging at the little lake house which does have power and I’m not going to complain when there a ton of people that have it a whole ton worse than me.

If yall havent seen the 1st season of the show "Colin from accounts" on showtime/peacock...oh my damn. Its rated R due to some language and sex jokes etc...**not for kids**...but the 1st 3 or 4 episodes are hilarious. Hardest i have laughed in a long time. They are all Australians so they have weird accents and talk fast, but its the funniest thing I have watched in a long time. Gordon, his brother, and his family are priceless. I googled it and the main 2 characters, Gordon and Ashley, are actually married in real life and write the show. Very talented folks IMO.

What kind of humor? Is there a well known show with similar genre of humor?

Its adult humor for sure...I dont mean like nasty despicable stuff, but there is profanity and references to previous girls that Gordon was with before Ashley etc. And words like "jugs" and "rack" etc. Gordon gets caught trying to rub 1 out at some point and its funny too...no nudity in the entire 1st season except an 80yo man for about 1 second. Its probably something more appropriate to watch with the guys or alone than with the wife unless she doesnt mind some vulgarity. I missed the 1st episode but episode 2 when Gordons brother comes to visit, and anytime his brother/family is on are really funny IMO. They are quick witted like some of the Monty Python stuff and the dialog moves pretty quickly too. There are some hilarious lines though, i think the writing is quite clever. Based on what I have seen from your good sense of humor, i think you would really enjoy it. Episodes are only 30mins long commercial free so maybe check it out.

Thought this was pretty good. Peyton Lewis is the next bigshot RB at UT. He will get lots of carries next season. He is the fastest player on the current team, and competed and won at the national level running the 60m. 100m and 200m. Believe hes still at 6ft1in tall and ~210lbs. I love Bishop, but IF Sampson leaves early this season, i think Lewis is RB1 next season and Bishop RB2. Bishop is very polished as a runner though, decisive and fearless between the tackles. He just doesn't have the world class speed of the other two backs. Bishop broke Derrick Henrys national HS record for yardage though with over 6000 rushing yards in HS. 30+ carries a game, every game. Getting hurt early and not playing last season is the best thing that could have ever happened to him IMO...his body needed a year to recover from HS beatings.

I use the Waze app for driving directions...it us far superior to the google maps app in every way IMO. Much better at routing you around an accident or traffic, and has never lead me to drive around in concentric circles like google can. Anyway...normally i can make it from here to Moms house in Alcoa in 3hrs45mins...cutting about 10 0r 15 mins off the 4hr expected at speed limits. The BEST time i can get waze to predict right now is 5hrs15mins and thats late at night. Making every stoplight and never stopping...with zero traffic. Only route there is available when folks are allowed to head west is I77 north to i-81 to catch 40 in Tennessee. Crazy folks.

Geez, they mean business now. It’s apparently all hands on deck now in the valley. Linemen just suddenly swarmed out of nowhere. Crews from local AEP are on the scene and the National Grid crews are from New York and Boston. The big cheese of the outfit just told me I should be back on in about an hour.

Probably doesn't apply to you but my favorite thing about Waze is when I'm visiting big cities. You can route yourself somewhere to include the fastest way accounting for walking and public transportation simultaneously.

Yep when i first started using it back in the day it would always ask if I was walking or driving. I heard it was developed by the Israeli IDF originally before it ever went public and came here. Its saved my butt from sitting in a traffic jam for untold hours too many times to count. It will route you thru a residential neighborhood, cutting thru a commercial park, even a big shopping center or parking lot tp get around accidents or standstill traffic. Amazing cooperative app that also tells you when there is a police car, objects in the road, road hazards to watch out for etc...truly awesome. I had to turn off the audio though lmao...I cant listen to someone tell me where to go regardless of who it is. Same as google.

Girlfriend is welding a ring for Spraggins rn. Anything you nerds want to relay?

Spraggins is a beast man. Best guard we have...he will get a shot in the NFL as a mid to later round draft pick IMO. Bet he makes more $$$ than I do per year right now from NIL and i make low 6 figures.

Tell him the Volnation crazy mofos appreciate all his hard work...lets get this Trophy. Dudes got a mean streak, Dink. Love the way he plays in the trenches.

FYI for anybody looking for this show. It is on Paramount+, not on Peacock.
