Watkins caught eight touchdowns, but outside of that statistic, he was underutilized. I don’t know why. Maybe not enough ball to go around to three good receivers, maybe Gurley was just too good to ignore, maybe Goff needs to improve his reads and be able to find him more often. I dunno. McVay’s offense in Washington included a very good TE. I would rather have a better TE in the starting lineup than Watkins. If we can afford both with re-signing Donald, Tru, Sullivan, and others, then great. If cap space becomes an issue, i would not re-sign Watkins.

Against the Seahawks he missed an extra pint and sent a kickoff out of bounds. This injury worsened to the point he can’t kick anymore this year. Crap.

Kupp has been excellent and likely to get better with experience, barring injury.

Can you imagine his stats if he were drafted by the Pats?

I won’t watch this game on tv, I’ll watch it in person!!! Section 222!!

McVay just won his 7th game.

But until he proves he can do that year in and year out, I feel any comparisons to Jeff Fisher are premature.

LOL !!!

It looked like they had the wrong helmets. Really mismatched, but still better than the Steelers and Packers throwback bumblebee/pumpkin uniforms.

Man….Is this like a big deal? I hope not.

Police found a gun in Westbrook’s vehicle that was not registered to him. Depends on whether it was loaded, whether it is a stolen gun, whether it was ever used in a crime, but mostly depends on Westbrook’s criminal history. Likely not a big thing though he has some explaining to do.

Cali law

Wouldn’t this be interesting if…

…the league drops one or two preseason games and adds just one more game to the regular season, but, that one additional game is a neutral site game for both teams in a place like London or China or Mexico City. You know, like a required missionary trip!

I expect…
Carlos Hyde will rush for well over 100 yards.
Brian Hoyer will be forced into making a couple of critical errors by the Rams pass rush.
Jared Goff and Todd Gurley will have solid but not spectacular stat lines.
Tavon Austin will score, but there will be more buzz about the Rams rookie pass catchers.
Johnny Hekker will put three punts inside the 20.
Rams win.

Mac, I am glad to help. Moving your family this far is a big deal. Knowing that the extra information I provide is helpful to you and your wife makes me happy.

The kitchen was very nice; stainless steel appliances, good size island for preparing food or eating, nice granite counter-tops and big pantry. It’s big enough for two people to work there at the same time, but maybe not three. I think there is enough cabinet storage, including the cabinets in the island, but it seems a little short on counter-top space. I did not turn on a faucet to check the water pressure, I wish I had done that. We live on a hill and our water pressure is good, so I don’t think that will be a problem at this house.

Another thing I want to mention is the parking area in front of the garage. The house has a three-car garage, but the parking or turn-around space in front of the garage is kind of small. I would not be comfortable backing my car out of the garage and down the hill to the street. Not sure how any vehicles you will have, but maneuvering your car in that space to turn around will take some practice.

Thanks!

Hi Mac,

I went to the open house on Sunday and looked around. Not sure that I have much to add to the information you already have from Zillow, but here are a few things.

The property has a steep driveway leading up to the house. Not an issue outside the winter months, but get this, the driveway is heated! It has a heated driveway to melt the snow and ice, thought he realtor said the driveway faces south (it does) and the sun melts the driveway anyway.

Three bedrooms upstairs, a mother-in-law suite on the main floor (added in 2007) and two bedrooms downstairs. Sitting rooms on each floor, I believe, so everyone can have private space. Big living room area with double sided gas fireplace on the main floor.

It has one of the biggest decks I have ever seen, and the flooring is composite material. Small pond on the property and the realtor said deer routinely walk through the area. It is in a wooded area and quite private.

I asked him about a mechanical thing I saw in the basement, never seen it before, Thermo-something. The realtor thought it was a water pump to maintain water pressure in the kitchen and bathrooms since the house is on a hill.

I did notice a few areas where the house is not finished, or could have been finished better. Things like a loose threshold to one of the bathrooms, nicks in the sheetrock, a lot of joint compound spread poorly in a corner, Pergo flooring in the basement with a little damage, a closet door looks like it was a larger size but cut to fit the closet, so it looks odd. Stuff like that.

Realtor said the house has been on the market for 60 days and the sellers recently dropped the price by $40,000.

From there, it’s about 20 miles to the VA Hospital, about 30 minutes drive.

later!

That’s close to where we live and its right on my way to a meeting tomorrow evening in Newport. Nice area, hilly and wooded. Close to I-494 but not too close.

And hells yeah! We have to get together for “a little lunch” when you are in town!

Mac!

I forgot about your housing search in the Twin Cities! If you have ANY questions about the neighborhoods where you are looking, please let me know.

We live close to the airport and VA hospital; maybe 20 minutes by car. Transit is really not an option from our area. Here is a listing close to the Snowman residence: Inver Grove Heights home

This house has five bedrooms: another IGH house

Here’s another: IGH house 3

OK, here is a six bedroom house, more what you are looking for and close to the VA hospital: 6 BR in Mendota Heights

And this one in Eagan: Eagan 6 BR

Please let me know how I can help!

I read the whole article, kind of quickly, but I did not read what Quinn did.

And greed. Don’t forget the greed. Cotton, tobacco, lumber, gold, beaver, etc…
