We got 7 to 8 inches on Monday. Weather Underground is predicting 8 - 12 in Southwestern Wisconsin on Tuesday. Glad I have a reliable snow plow guy and a snowblower. 1/3 of mile long driveway $30. a plow. Couldn't find someone to do my 100 foot long driveway for that in Brookfield.

I was ten when the Braves left town. Boy did that ever hurt. Eddie Matthews lived up road from us. He had a construction firm that build my folks home. I hate to say how many times we talked. He used to give my dad tickets to home games once in a while. First row, even with third base. Awesome!!! Del Crandall lived in the next neighborhood over. We used to ride our bike over to catch a glimpse of him. He was pretty friendly. Back on topic. I still followed the Braves, still do. If the Brewers leave, I think I would follow the White Sox. I remember going to their games at County Stadium in the years between the Braves leaving and the Brewers arriving. I was so happy to have baseball back in Milwaukee, I got a job as a vendor in 1970. Climbing the stairs selling peanuts, soda and the like. We had 4 full season tickets from '94 to '03 before moving away.

We both sweep and use the blower. However, we have several acres of lawn and the closest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. Noise shouldn't be a problem. Plus, we compost the leaves and grass clipping to add to the gardens. On the topic of leaf blowers, they work great at blowing snow off of the sidewalks and deck. As long as it isn't too deep or wet.

We have been home brewing since the early 1980's. Will be bottling a Bourbon Barrel Ale later this fall. It ages for up to a year. Next rainy day I'll be bottling a Summit Avenue Ale (clone).

Sadly, in a 4 hour visit, he called her "Mommy" several dozen times. He is a nice kid but .... Sad Uncle

This has been bugging me for years. We visited in-laws this past weekend. We have a 30 year old nephew, lives on his own, who constantly calls his mother "MOMMY." Am I wrong to let it bother me???

Interesting line up. I kind of like GP batting first.

Hope to tap Maples this weekend.

What do you grow in your Wisconsin garden?
Storm replied to jerichoholicninja's topic in Off-Topic Forum
We have eight 10' x 5' raised beds. Six are 10" deep, 2 are 12 inches deep. 5 feet wide is too wide by the way. I'm 6 feet tall and have a hard time reaching the center. A great thing about raised beds is you don't need to weed as often and they warm up faster in the spring. We rotate planting every year. Two beds each year are converted to hoop houses to extend both ends of the season. In 2013 we were still harvesting greens in the middle of December. We will put the spring hoop houses up in probably two weeks. Especially, if we get the 50's they are promising next week. Once I figure out how to post a photo I will. Last fall we planted a whole bed of garlic. This year we will have 10 pepper plants in one bed, a bed of cabbage, broccoli and Cauliflower, a bed of root crops (beets, carrots, radishes and the like. Since we canned 40 quarts of tomato sauce, juice and soup last year we will only plant 6 tomato plants. Also grow pickling cucumbers (another 40 quarts last year) zucs squash, onions and leeks. We freeze, dry and can most of the veggies we consume all year. We retired early but still managed a garden that size while working 80 hours and more a week. -
We heat with wood mostly. So far this winter we have used half of what we used last year. We also have only been plowed once this year. Our 1/3 of mile driveway is happy about that. Mike

If I recall correctly. When we updated we had more usable space. Don't remember how much, I'm getting old. Have had a Mac on my desk since 1984. Still have a Mac II that works. You may find more help here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/ Mike

How about being real different and try hitting from the other side? I believe (I could be wrong) that the right thumb wouldn't have so much pressure on it.

75% might be low. Look into the Vikings activities on Lake Minnetonka a couple years ago. Read Ball Four. Think Brett Farve. In the early 70's my wife and her friend were hustled by several Brewers in a Waukesha bar. Both Brewers were wearing wedding rings.

Just shoveled the deck and sidewalk. Wanted to take advantage of a balmy 19.5°. Am not looking forward to another day where the high is 10° below zero.

So, is Craig Coshun no longer on the broadcast?

SRB said "I am not talking about absolutes of Braun being 100% innocent or 100% guilty because none of us can pretend like we know the answer to that question. Do I think that MLB would do this to Braun if they were convinced he took something but didn't have sufficient evidence to suspend him through the normal procedures? Absolutely. That's exactly what they're doing. But MLB was no less convinced that he took something in 2011, and they didn't have the evidence to back it up because of all the procedural errors." Well said. Thank you!!! I really like how many here have convicted Braun without any hard evidence./s

Boy are you right. The love for Rivera was a little overboard also.

At least the sap is starting to run. I almost thought this season was going to be a bust. I cannot wait to listen to the game on Monday with a cold home brew watching the sap boil down.

The Coolest Brewers Memory EVER Is...
Storm replied to splitterpfj's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I was ten when the Braves left Milwaukee. I was crushed. Especially since Eddie Mathews and his family lived up the road. I cut school for opening day in 1970. Got into a lot of trouble. To watch baseball again in County stadium was awesome. Too bad the Angels clobbered the Brewers. I ended up getting a job as vender that year. Even more fun. -
Just tapped 35 of our maples yesterday. I am not looking forward to gathering the sap in another potential foot of snow.
-
Has this been confirmed anywhere? There is nothing on the Orioles MLB site confirming this? Thanks.
-
Opening Day 4/7/1970. It was so cool to have Baseball back in Milwaukee. The crowd was awesome. Krause, Hegan, Walton and Harper will always be some of my favorite Brewers. Too bad they got clobbered.

We have been thinking of getting an Apple TV. It would be nice to hear how you like it.

Thanks for the information. Hopefully the KC fans are as good as the St. Louis fans were last year. The couple we sat next to, visit Miller Park twice a year and were very enjoyable to spend the evening with. True baseball fans. Cannot say that about the Cubs fans we have sat by at Wrigley. I've enjoyed visiting this site over the years.

I am thinking of seeing the Brewers play in Kansas City in June. What is the area around the stadium like? Is there ample parking? Any help/suggestions would be nice. Storm
