Spent the weekend with my wife and her dad - not sure my brain is going to recover. Did some small jobs for him, but failed miserably at getting his Facebook working. He doesn't remember the Facebook password or the password to his gmail account, so I called the wife in because she's helped him set stuff up in the past so she might know. I walked out and found the GA-FL game after she had for whatever reason taken over the process and had created two new gmail accounts - I still have no idea the logic behind that. I even pushed "show password" and wrote down the passwords for both accounts as she typed them in, and she told me later that I wrote them down wrong that she used abbreviations and I wrote the word. I can't believe people create passwords without immediately recording them somewhere safe, but there's living proof it happens all the time.

Weve been on 2 eastern carribbean and 1 western carribbean cruises. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian.

Enjoyed all of them. Carnival seemed to have more young people/couples and less families kids. My favorite was the Western route, Cozumel my favorite stop. Snorkeling there is amazing...you can just walk into the water anywhere on the beach we went to and see coral reef, clownfish (like Nemo) etc...and they speak spanish and English so that was cool.

We hated Jamaica. It was super ghetto and I nearly got in a fight twice because of pushy people getting all up on my wife and kids. When we finally made it to a beach, somebody was watching us waiting for an opportunity....and when we all got in the water, they went to our towels/blanket and stole my wallet with everything in it. Good times.

Second that on Jamaica - just stay away, and it's a shame that it is that way.

It’s a beautiful day, I hope you folks get out and enjoy the day, keep your wits about you and not get too caught up in the Election Day activities and/or results. Every American needs to get outside and spend at least 30 minutes enjoying nature today unless you’re really busy, then you need to spend at least an hour.

Knecht couldn't have gotten any better luck. Falls to 17th pick as previously mentioned and ends up in THE perfect position for him...already a rotation player game 1, and playing for a coach in JJ Reddick that he is a carbon copy of. Coach has raved about him since the moment he was drafted, before he ever even practiced with the Lakers. Now he is chosen to represent Nike specifically thru the Jordan Brand which is elite status in shoes. Gonna make a ton of $$$ and get the most iconic brand of shoes in athletics. They could look like crap and they will still sell millions. So happy for him. He treated us VOLS to an amazing season, and took over ballgames scoring at a pace and distance from downtown that i had never seen in my 47 years of life.

Absolutely. Better ballhandler, better defender (averaging about 1.5 steals per game in maybe 15mins,) just better all around. JJ is absolutely giddy about coaching him. I saw a rumor article yesterday discussing the Lakers trading him for Trae Young...doesnt make any sense to me though. Knecht is a steal financially because he is still locked into that rookie deal for 3 years? At scale for the 17th overall pick. Young would cost several times as much per season, and might not mesh with Lebron and the others because that's too many ballhogs on 1 team haha. Everybody cant get 25 or 30 shots per game...

Good to hear from ya Ape. Havent seen you in a while bud. Hope you are doing well.
