Engineer's from the county visited me in my home, also our local newspaper, and they told me, back in March, that to handle the snowmelt Pine Flat Reservoir would have to be filled, and emptied, 4 times. Since then they added a fifth time. When the levee was repaired of the initial threat we were quite aware that the worst was yet to come... and now we enter that stage. It hit 100 degreesby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I certainly hope so, not sure yet. The dogs left our home not long after I posted this.... I was surprised... but they returned last night. After we posted this on Facebook (My home town is small, 700 people, so we had high hopes that Facebook would work.), a lot of neighbors quickly replied that they had seen them as well... one neighbor, about two miles away, said they had been to herby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Phone typing, bear with me. Found two coyotes once. Mom had died. Caught them, still have the scars. Raised them. one died about two weeks later. Don't know why. The other we kept for slightly over a year. Yes, I could pet him. Came time to free him and did. For the next year he'd return, every couple of nights. Play with my German Shepard, Bonanza. A little after a year he returnby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Arnold was a couple years ahead of me in high school. Band, in our high school, was very popular. We had a full orchestra with nearly every musical instrument represented. Oddly... Guitars were not in our 'band'... but many chose to learn guitar and never joined the band. My point here is: A HUGE percentage of our high school student body played one musical instrument or another.....by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Just don't like TE's with your first picks. I didn't care for the pick either... So let's see... they haven't taken 'my guy' now for 57 years. That makes me right most of the time. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I've told you guys this before. Every year, with no exception, people drive out into the country near my home and drop dogs off. I'd say we average two per year.... some years probably as many as 10. There are a few other homes near me but for some reason they usually set up residence in my yard. Yeah.... I know, feeding them is probably why they do that but I can't let a dog starve. Now loby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

I feel that McVay is gearing up for a lightening quick passing game... very quick releases. No, I don't think that defines McVay's long term plan... but this year yeah. Move the chains. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
than the 'auto' settings, but with brighter colors.... and I'm very uneducated on manual settings. Let me give you an example.. I just did a quick enhance I recently took. The first is the original... (iPhone, not camera, but it demonstrates what I'm getting at).. the 2nd enhanced. Also, this is exaggerated to better show you what I'm after.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I just think they thought he was 'franchise', was their biggest need and the need that would automatically put them in the playoffs.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
had to go. and not just because it's butt ugly.... you can't see the game very well! Boise I think should keep the Blue because I don't like them and I want them to remain ugly. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I've never tried... but currently I don't see that as a drawback. I have a good idea for a business/website, if you want to invest. I wanna buy one of those giant microphone thingies that can pick up a moth fart from two miles away then wander around the stadium focusing on the most frustrated looking fans and record them. Then get the game film, delete the original audio track and put minby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

Cell Phone photo's... without question it's led to some of the worst photographs I've ever seen. And a hell of a lot of them. Most of them. Hey, question for you, (I'm no photographer)... with a semi-good digital camera.... I have a Nikon D5100... how can I set it to take photo's like what you'd get by 'enhancing' the colors with a photo app, like Photoshop... and NOT have to use Photoshop,by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
18 is a GREAT number. 9 lacks character 39 is just plain ugly 43 is a good number, not great, but a solid good. 50 is an outstanding number... but mostly for a center. 51 reminds me too much of my first Nine score after not playing for a year. 83 is a good fit - - perfect for a TE. 92... only good 90's number is 99.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
on Hulu... starred Lee Marvin. The setting was 1964, for into the future. :laughing In 1964 Boxing had been banned and they used robots, animatronics. The story plot was that his robot was outdated, falling apart, so he disguised himself and took his place in the ring. 20017 possible? Hell... how about 2025? - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
"how much does a player love the game".... but of course you're right, how can we know that? I think we can know... sometimes, but mostly it's a big ??? Even after they've begun playing in the NFL. I often 'think' I know but mostly likely I'm wrong as often as right or perhaps even mostly wrong. Loving competition and loving the game can be two different things, I think. Then, oby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't 'know', of course, but my 'guess' is that most play guitar, and by a wide margin. I often wonder how people choose instruments like the Oboe, or the French Horn, or the Flute.. or any number of others. I used to work with high school band members a lot and what I found was that most of them didn't want to 'compete'... and thought those 'different' instruments gave them a better chanby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

I saw an interview with Tom Hanks once and he was talking about his 'stubbornness'. As an example he used this: If asked who the most important member of a band he said he'd reply and that was that... wouldn't change his mind. I'm going to do the same as Tom... but different question. I started by playing the trumpet...learned drums, self taught, about the end of my sophomore year. IMHOby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub

I'm going off on a tangent here.... I love airports. I often will go to a viewing area by an airport and just sit and watch planes takeoff and land. Lot of things, I think... 'adventure', the technology, flight, knowing the plane coming in or taking off could be coming from or headed to anywhere on earth, planes are beautiful. Yeah, I saw those tornado signs.

As you all know I'm not one. Used to be... but that was long ago. Now I know this will come of as 'board egotistical' but IMHO not only do 'our' guys do well, (as many have said recently), but from my standpoint they are every bit as good as the famous pundits. I didn't do any truly thorough research about this next... but I DID do a little comparing... and far as I can tell our top guysby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
for the life of me I can't shake the notion that this guy has what it takes. I read the criticism's of him... and admittedly some make sense to me, but I still can't shake this notion that there's something there, a bit hidden but often times glaringly apparent. I mention Cooper because he's a good example of what I 'feel'... 'sense'... 'intuit'... 'believe'... about several of the playerby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com

but I admit that I'll be in total shock if McVay doesn't 'improve' things. And I don't even know much about McVay. Only what I've read on this board... and I read that with half my mind on the topic and the other half considering what I wanted for dinner. Here's what I think I think: I expect GREAT improvement in the passing game, and running game, BUT... still not good enough due to theby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
