When I was growing up every boy I knew had a pair of "Field Boots". That's what we called them, all of us. I have no idea if that was their actual name or just a nickname given to them. They also had no labels of any kind. They were solid black... no other color option, or at least no one ever bought any other color. They were not lace-ups. Lace-ups were not, and still aren't, pby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
You need to be right in front of a directional mic for it to pick up your voice... however... It should pick up 'something' from the side...never heard a directional mic that would pick up 'nothing' from the side.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Never even heard of Sperry.... and pretty sure I've never had Vann's.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
never thought about wearing them for work... maybe yard work... definitely not to farm in. Yeah, I liked them. As I said, I'm a big fan of Merrell's. In fact all those brands I listed above I've liked a lot. The most durable I'd say were the Vasque's. And amazingly I left out my #1 choice in boots... Danner. Saloman's should have made my list as well. for hiking I'm currently wearing aby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
bad feet that is, and knock on wood. In my backpacking days the hiking boots salesmen would DEMAND that I get full support - arch, ankle, etc... and when I told them I needed no support, and in fact boots made for support were miserable for me... they couldn't accept it. Fact is: I could hike the entire Appalachian Trail in a pair of $10 Walmart tennis shoes. I don't... .because thereby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
the biggest change I've seen over the many years I've been a fan is the lack of interest and appreciation for defense.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

now I hear the new Microsoft FS may have topped it... benefits to both... as I understand... X Plane is the most realistic... in just about every way - controls but also navigation, flight communication, etc. MS FS supposedly has the best graphics, IOW the most realistic looking. Frankly.. if the two are close as far as being realistic in flying characteristics I think I'd opt for the grby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
They are expensive and to be honest they don't really add that much to the flight experience on a desktop sim... they would on a sim like you're talking about. I suppose if I was getting the app to get back into actual flying I'd buy them, (may anyway), but for just recreational piloting on my computer... I don't know.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

those used by professionals... only the desktop computer app sims. And on those I've found that the controls are overly-sensitive, by a LOT. Same with the desktop racing apps.. a LOT more sensitive than an actual race car. Ok... time for football... youth game today. Day 3 of a 5 day football game binge. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

Actually I don't know what the % breakdown is but I do know MANY think that overtime rule perfectly 'fair'.... and to me I don't think it would be possible to create a more 'unfair' OT. For me it's so in your face obviously Unfair that drawing straws would be a 100% improvement.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Personally I didn't notice a big difference...they just seemed to get better at the scheme to me. BUT... D's, IMHO, are nearly impossible to read just from a TV broadcast. Unless like some on this board who are privy to a 'coaches view video' of the game you can never be sure of what they're doing or if a change occurred. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Last couple of years we've gone thru a radical change in how it all works so I really have no idea. As far as travel times... I would think it's the same for you as it is for us... you may not be as big in area but you still have LONG travel times and have grown used to them. I think the longest Kerman, my grandson's HS, has ever traveled for a game, Basketball, was the LA area... actuallyby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Somewhere in the 3rd Qtr I think?... it began to sprinkle. As in water falling from the sky. We here in central Ca. had never experienced this so chaos ensued... People were accused of spitting on fellow fans.... accusations of being careless with sodas/water/sno-cones.... and thus... turmoil encompassed the stands... eventually Mom's were beating the hell out of other Moms... kids were beinby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
is more consideration for a team's strength of schedule. BUT... that ain't easy to do... not sure it can ever be perfected. Never the less I like that they are trying and I DO think it makes for more accurate rankings even if NOT perfected.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Problem with that is: The Ram's won the SB... and to doubt Morris is to confront the "hey, Rams won the SB" counter argument. Not an easy task. I don't like Morris's scheme... but the Rams won under his tutelage. So like this post I don't mind saying I'm not a big Morris fan, (I am NOT very down on him), but at the same time I prefer to stay in the shadows on this topic. :laughingby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

I think only Kupp hasn't been offered up for trade to rebuild the roster? :laughing That's not true, but you get my point. On the other hand... as badly as the Ram's played an 'overreaction' is not in the least unexpected and perhaps somewhat warranted. But as 'cliche' as it is IT WAS just one game.... and that is NEVER enough to make grandiose predictions of season failure. There isn'by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
That a lot of coaches.... maybe not most but many, will not pull their starters when they are routing their opponents... Talking HS here, not that way in youth football where most, not quite all, WILL pull the starters in a rout. My youngest grandson didn't play a single down in the 2nd half last week.... Fact is routing a team does help your ranking. I'm all FOR pulling the starters iby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
A couple years ago I did some research for 'the most comfortable shoes'. One of the Sketchers came out on top... and I bought them. Do you notice what shoes people wear? I don't. You could have pink bunny slippers on and I wouldn't notice. BUT.. my grandkids noticed my Sketchers. Were you aware that wearing Sketcher's is the most 'uncool' thing a human being can do?

but if pressed I'd have to say Jack Benny was the funniest man that ever lived. He didn't have to do anything other than be Jack Benny to have me rolling on the floor in laughter.

Darn shame if what I'm hearing is true. Game was called due to lightening... with somewhere around 11 minutes left so Buchanon beat Liberty (Bakersfield) 35-27. Don't get me wrong... good they stopped the game for lightening but sad for Liberty!by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I'm envious, Iowa..... football in actual football weather!!!!! Last night we had almost solid cloud cover and the temperature stayed just as high. So we not only had unbearable heat we had humidity as a bonus! 14º drop today!!!!! 110º yesterday and the high today is supposed to be 96º. It's going to feel cold. 52-6!!!!!
