americas team

AMERICAS TEAM
this weekend i set my dvr for the game where
americas team in the nfl in would be playing
i waited for 30 min or so then started watching
the team play
americas team
now ive been a long time cowboy fan as long as my
football memory is
theyve gone through some bad times recently
well how about 18 or so years it seems
but now they are looking good

so i sat down to watch americas team play on sunday
i sure like to watch their quarterback play
thats the first game i look for on the weekend is
when americas team plays and that quarterback plays


im talking about the 2014 americas team

the denver broncos
and
peyton manning

peyton manning should be the mould that all nfl teams
and nfl future quarterbacks try to mimic
on and off the field
heck i even like his jocular ads on tv

great performance by one of the best quarterbacks ever

now
to the old americas team


the cowboys are finally looking good
there are 4 things a successful team has to have
a good offensive line
a good running back
a good quarterback
a good defense

check check check check on all of those for those cowboys

could this be their year
i keep waiting for the stuff to hit the fan
running back injury
romos back to fail
more injuries
i almost want them to fail so jerry wont gloat so much
but
no im a diehard cowboy fan
lets go cowboys


i am sure enjoying the new sec channel
get to see any of the sec match ups i want to see every saturday
and
of course the new longhorn channel does the same for the
longhorns


there was another colt mccoy sighting this weekend
as he lead the washington team to a win

you notice i didnt write the name of their mascot
is it offensive or not
i dont know since my dna shows i have no american indian blood
it seems simple to me on that question though
ask all the amerian indian tribes in that area
if they feel its a name that honors the american indian
keep it
if they feel its a racist term like the n word
then get rid of it
seems simple to me
i think the majority of american indians dont want to
be called the mascot name
what if the notre dame irish which seems ok to me
since my ancestry is part irish
was the notre dame drunks or the notre dame mics or mucks
offensive that would be
not allowed most irish would say

colt now is the official starter until rg3 returns
maybe colt will be the starter on monday night football
this week against the old americas team the cowboys
sorry
ill be pulling for colt mccoy in that game

wonder if the new america team plays the old americas team
this year

can you imagine a league made up of the big 12 and the sec
maybe chopping off a few teams like texas tech iowa state
kansas
what a great season that would be for college football huh
no team could ever get through that maize with no wins
dream is what we could do

what a great fall football season this is with more to come

rememberence, lost, romo gumbo

REMEMBERENCE

yesterday was veterans day
a day to remember those who have served in the military
especially those who lost their lives
these guys and gals are the ones that served to protect us
including protecting our right to vote last week

am thankful for the safe return of my nephew from his tour in
afghanistan
thankful for another nephew who served in the navy
thankful to my three brothers who served in the military
and retired after 20 years service
my rainwater brother my historian brother and my
older brother
thankful to my moms brother who served in the military
during world war 2
he was wounded while in the pacific war

thanks to my historian brother for reminding our family
members about our connection to this veterans day

LOST
my wife she and i go to lost maples state park
in the hill country just southwest of san antonio every year

if we catch the leaves just right
if the cold has hit some and
if the weather is just right
then the leaves on those maples can be as beautiful as
those you see in maine and vermont

see they are the same trees those maples
they got lost in this canyon in the hill country
thus the name lost maples

we always meet my two brothers and their wives there
and have 3 days together

my wife and i usually hike the first day
this year we did a hike up the western side for 5-6 miles
its interesting to see the difference in the vegetation and leaves
each year and
to see how the terrain has changed

this year the leaves were much greener and since we have
not had a lot of cold weather yet there was not much of the
beautiful leaf changes that you usually see

if you are a newcomer to lost maples go to the maple trail
at the start of the east trail
its only about an half mile walk
then go to the west trail and walk to the ponds
you can usually see a good variety of leaf changes on these
two walks

for those who are ergonomically challenged these are the best
trails to walk

ROMO GUMBO
im a big cowboy fan
its been a rough 15 years

we have romo gumbo
if youve eaten gumbo you know they have a little of everything
in there
it can be too hot and spicey or it can be too greasy or it can
be too gooey or sometimes it just seems to be just right
thats the way romo and the cowboys were last night
just right

despite how bad theyve played this year they still have a
chance to make it to the playoffs

hope the cowboy cook saved the recipe from last nights game

shout out to those aggies
great game with the bama guys
guess im glad yur in the sec now

good job longhorns of honoring darrell k royal this weekend
with that first wishbone play
am sure dkr would have liked that
good game horns

the hogs well there is always next year with yur new coach

bye bye bank, bye ags, we got rain, the boys

BYE BYE BANK
am saying goodbye to my megabank that ive been with for
over 15 years
dang that feels so good to be rid of them

first they bundled all our mortgages and sold them off
this is one of the reasons we are in this financial mess
then we the government bailed them out

then
they have made huge profits over the last 2 years
then
they started charging for everything
$5 for checking account (ive got 2 accounts)
$3 for debit card
$12 for online banking
charge for checks
0% interest rate on accounts
potential charge for use of debit card
stopped rewards program for debit card

so i pay them at least $300 a year to use their bank
now that aint right
plus the megabanks helped get us in this mess and they seem
to be profiting off us

so
i switched to a credit union
found one next door to the two branches of the megabank we use
every day
dang that felt so good to do that

$0 for checking account
$0 for savings account
$0 for money market account
$0 for checks ordered online
they pay for each use of the debit card
$0 for debit card
they actually pay interest on my checking, savings and money
market accounts
$0 for use of debit card
%1 on all credit card purchases
$0 for online bill pay

total amount they will be paying me to bank with them next
year is well over $300 a year
will make over $100 just from buying groceries with the credit card
the interest rate on my money market is 20 x the rate on my
mutual fund money market

this was all a tough decision
it easily offsets the extra im paying every month for my smart phone

i feel refreshed like i did when i quit smoking
like ive got rid of this long time addiction to megabanking

just wonder if somehow this is all not right and somehow they will
take it all away

BYE AGS
d gigem ags
they are gone for sure now
think they made the right decision
now they are out of the shadow and control of the horns
sure will miss those rivalry games though
dont think they will continue the football games as ags will be
in a tough schedule every year
maybe in softball, basketball and baseball

even with them gone the rivalry feel will not ever go away
ags horns
it is sad to see it go
good luck

WE GOT RAIN
we got our first measurable rain last night in over 3 months
we got 1/4 inch of rain
if you bought the water i collected off it it would be $70
the ground is actually wet looking
hopefully it soaked better in the garden if not will have to
water it well today
just need more rain please
we are still 24 inches behind over the last year

my nephew he is here starting to work on a new movie
he was ousted from his chair by the lightning and thunder
just need to drop him in that rainwater tank and get that
limestone rock out of my tank #5

THE BOYS
roma survived
thank goodness for the kicker
they injected him before the game and once during the game
let see they take a needle of numbing medicine
probably marcaine or some other long acting anesthetic and
inject it around the site of the fracture
think broken wrist and they inject the fracture site so you can
use the wrist so it wont hurt

know that must really hurt bad when the numbing medicine
wears off
bet he sleeps in a chair tonight
hopes he doesnt have a night time cough-ouch
hydrocodone (vicodin) to the rescue
