Strange how making Dads look like dumb ass 9 to fivers that can't figure out how to do anything that need their wives to survive became a thing on TV way back when.....Originally Posted by mvp 78
F that...........
In our household we both kick major ass......... and all my couple friends are pretty much the same....
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
F... that indeed. My Dad was my hero growing up and my best buddy until he died.

I'm not spending Father's Day with my dad. The doctors gave him permission, finally, to golf again, so he's out enjoying himself right now doing that. I'm going to see him tomorrow, but I'm just glad he's so happy. He's texted me about sixteen times from the golf course already today. "This is awesome!" (and so on and so forth).

That is great to hear.

Glad to hear this!
Great to hear Youk! Glad he enjoyed himself.
First time user here...hope I'm doing this right! My question is...why isn't anyone talking about the return of Brock Holt. We see him in the dugout but there is never any mention on when he will be re-activated? This leads me to believe he is done! Can anyone throw some light on this. Thanks.
He has vertigo due to multiple concussions. Since concussion science is still new, no one really knows when/if he'll ever come back.
See: Patrice Bergeron and Marc Savard
One guy takes a long while to get back and seems to almost fully recover, the other never plays again.
This.
Head injuries, regardless of the sport are near impossible to predict as they differ from each person. I hope Holt comes back, but as I've mentioned before, I've heard he's having migraines and issues similar to Percy Harvin, who had to retire two different times due to those injuries. I know football is a little more risky, especially in terms of head injuries, but I'm definitely worried about Holt's health.

If you're going to send me to a conference, at least send me to the beach or to Disney, or someplace else fun.

Setting up a 4 lane electric slot car racing track that's been in storage for a few years.......... set it up back when Austin had it's first F1 race here at the COTA track.....
Slot car racing tracks haven't advanced much in technology since decades ago............. they are super finicky......... been cleaning, polishing, scraping the track all morning......
still have lane issues.........

The leads at the end of track pieces can oxidize and cause poor contact. Then, of course you have the electrical strips on the track surface to deal with! I always had very good success using an old fashioned ink eraser. They were more abrasive and worked quite well.
Then you have the resistor inside the controller and it's contact.
Then the brushes on the armature and commutator.
I still have my 1/24 cars in my hall closet.
I also have circa 1966-1968 Aurora HO Thunderjets including The Batmobile and Green Hornet.
Sadly, Robin and Batman have both been decapitated.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
