[quote=Angle Queen;6914583]Nope, no couch. These:

Full location: Bjarnum folding hooks

That looks doable. Might need/want a few for myself!

Congrats to Downs and his 8.5 men's combo team!

Grandson seems to like baseball more at the moment; may be the next Bryce Harper, cuz he already has nice hand-eye coordination. Gotta get his mind right so he can be the next RF. LOL.

FINALLY got back on the court this morning after 5 weeks in this infernal boot. Didn't do much, just practiced serves with my new Ys - EZone Xi 100 and RDiS 200 Lite. Small sample size, but I was surprised that the 200 seems to be a bit more stable on serves - accuracy, spin, etc. - than the EZone. Could be I'm just rusty. Can't say anything about groundies, volleys, overheads, etc., but hope to get in some of that this week if I can find another old person who doesn't have to work anymore. And if my ankle doesn't flare up again.

Don't think I'm jumping on the iP 5 bandwagon, either, but I might upgrade to the 4S since my contract is up in October, anyway. I think I'll try to get the iOS 6, though; I hear good things about it.

Wish I could help the gang welcome you to NOVA when you trek up for a hitting session/food fest. You sound like a cool lady. Everyone enjoy this nice fall weather.

This week in the tennis clinic is was much better. No longer sore and some of my strokes are coming back. My overhead is still in shambles though... ugh!!!

It's supposed to be a 3.5 / 4.0 class, but I think I'm the strongest player there overall. Miss the days of Sup's clinics where I got to practice with TWMAC's sandbaggers elite

Throw some Kevlar at 80lbs into it and your elbow will be fine.....

planning to wrap my entire racquet's handle with lead tonight and some on 10/2. It's going to like a super headlight racquet.
I am getting pissed off on my setup.

My 2HBH is on the fritz. And it doesn't help that my one hander is going well.

Eating cold spagetti and soup for lunch today. Had a big dinner last night, shouldn't of gotten take out at Wheaton...

CB - Made one more tweak the the MOCA set-up. Turned off DHCP on the second actiontec. Resolved my issue where the second router was being set as the default gateway.

99% of my xbox right now is streaming netflix. Most of the video now is in HD since the connection is faster.

Wonder why MOCA isn't used more often seeing as a lot of houses prob have more coax though out the house.

Wifi might be easier, but unless you live in a small apartment or get the installer to go through the trouble of putting it in the best spot (not just the easiest install spot) - you're sure to find a few dead spots.

ppl don't use MOCA cause ppl don't know about it. Besides, not everyone wants to do any network tweaks. But for FIOS, we're kinda locked in as these Actiontec routers are the only one's supporting this.

Gosh I want to go out and hit this week!

Curse office fridges! I am eating a pasta popiscle!

Also, in other news, I have started making hot sauce from my homegrown green thai chili. I just made some from chili's, garlic, vinegar. Thank goodness I made it outside. As soon as I started bottling inside the house, everyone ran upstairs. Maybe I can sell it as riot gear? I can feel my eyebrows burning off as soon as I opened the processor.

Anyone know how I can emulify without using some chemicals? Trying not to add so much vinegar.

I would wager both QBs will probbaly be close when its all said and done. But Brady like usual has the potential to have a monster game. Flaccos only monster games come when Rice nust those littel screen passes into 50 yd touchdowns. I would start Brady every week of the season if Flacco is the only other option. Actually I would start Brady over everyone unless you had A Rodgers. But if you have Brady you dont Rogers.

I guess if I had those three Ds I maybe go with MIA. Unless you still went with BMore that would offset any potential sticker from Brady.

Mathhews probably isnt a bad play. Atlanta has done nothing so far to stop the run. And the Charges looked good running it against the Titans. ATL and Tennesee were about equal in run D last year. So Matthews could have him a good game. My only Concern is they cleared him last week but still sat out. He may not get many carries this week either. If you got other RBS that are doing OK myabe ride them out another week. Im gonna go out on a limb thoug and say he gets about 12-15 carries for 70 Yds and a touch. just my gut. Who are the other RBs you got?


I dont the Jets Offense is that good, and MIA has been OK on D. I would go

Brady
MIA
And give Matthews a shot
please delete this post from the record

Hopefully had somebody starting mike vick

Change of plans, not going to Ft Belvoir NRMC, at least not yet - instead I started my new contract in downtown DC today. Not too bad, I guess. Taking the Orange Line into Federal Triangle from Vienna.

Good thing my company says they'll pay my Metro SmartTrip costs...$15.45 per day adds up quickly!

Welcome to the family!

If my elbow can take it...I'm pretty sure yours can too! Though I don't use poly.

Hey guys! I'm fairly new to this forum since I just came out to DC a few months ago. I'm a 3.5-4.0 player. I played all 4 years high school singles (1 year of doubles) and 4 years of Travel team tennis in undergrad. Anyone want to hit? I live in the district.

I may see you one morning. I have to put up with the orange line every day.
