OT: The Thread About Nothing CCVI: Sitting in the blind

[BenedictGomez]

Thought I was going to have a nice lazy day...
Until my wife slipped on water in the kitchen and broke her wrist.

I learn a new term, FOOSH... first time ever hearing this

FOOSH is an acronym for fall on an outstretched hand.

Never heard the acronym, but that's a common snowboarding injury. Their legs are strapped in and it's a natural instinct to try to brace yourself.

 

[BenedictGomez]

foosh sounds like one of those wacky advanced statistics. as in, your wife’s foosh/60 is off the charts

Face Off Offensive zone % Short Handed

Sounds more valuable than "Shot assists".

The doctor tolded us the acronym and I immediately said that's fooshed up. My wife looked horrified until the doctor and nurse cracked up.

Dark walnut was the ticket. Thanks for the suggestion!

Learning how to fall correctly is an incredibly underrated skill in life in general, but especially in activities like snowboarding. It literally changed the way I ride.

Sorry about your wife Jim.

saved my ankles many a time playing soccer for all those years…….if you feel like its gonna roll over just go with it and fall down and land on your body instead of trying to stay up which always places all the strain on the ankle and really leaves you in way worse shape…..and ya, dont try and stop the fall with your wrist

How much do they charge for straight cut (and do they vacuum seal)?

I'm not sure of the price, I just filled out the sheet for the cuts I want tonight and I'll pay when I get it. But last year it was $85 and they don't vacuum seal. But I do when I bring it home.

If you get another one and want to try a new guy, Hunterdon Deer Butcher in Pittstown does $85 for standard cut, and he vacuum seals everything with stickers (steak, backstrap, etc...) on the cuts, etc...

I have been going to Bishop's for over 20 years, I'm not opposed to trying something new though.

Have you used them?

Anyone know when the Ark arrives? This rain bullshit is ridiculous.

 

[njdevil26]

Is that a 20 gallon long tank?
That's what I have my hamster in haha.

Also, that stand looks awesome. Good job!

rain twice a week > wildfires because it rains two days a year [a la california]

Wildfires, mud slides, earthquakes or Nor Easters, flooding, hurricanes, blizzards. Give me the latter.

where do you rank sinkholes?

Somewhere in the middle of big deal and not a big deal.

If you mean H.D.B., yes, several times. I haven't used Bishops, which is ironic given I live close to there.

What stinks is if this wet pattern occurred during January/February we'd have historic levels of snowfall. With my luck as soon as it gets <32 the east will enter a dry pattern.

exactly.

california is a wonderful place sadly prone to wild natural disasters.

I think the wildfires out in Cali are related to El Nino, which (if I remember correctly) usually causes dry, windy conditions out there while it creates a ton of rain and snowfall out here. The worst I remember was back in... it was 94, I think. There was a major snowstorm almost every week for months.

I'm battening down the hatches for the potential of a ton of snow.

It is. It's going on the second floor, so I didn't want to go too big. It always makes me nervous.
