Non-football related stuff that really makes your day

While It isn't really a story that "Makes my Day", this story warms my heart.

"Capsule buried in crew's memory at Deenethorpe airfield"

"It was all agreed that whoever was the last one would bring the tankards back to Deenethorpe," she said. "It took some time trying to gather all of the information."

Awesome story Dean.

The airfield was sold and became farmland after the war.

So the current owner allowed the tankards to be buried and memorialized? A tip of the hat to that person.

Thanks for posting that, Dean.

My wife splurged and bought me a new 4 burner grill for Fathers Day. It was on floor model on clearance at Target. The old grill needed new innards and that was going to cost me 100 dollars and I had been putting it off. This new grill cooks so much better.

Great Loops! Happy Grilling (especially on one that has uniform heat distribution).

Why is it when guys get a smoker or grill for Fathers Day they are thrilled and when gals get a set of pots and pans for Mothers Day it takes 20 years to live it down?

If I gave my wife pots and pans it would be more of a gift for me.

Apparently ref's have sucked for a long time (or at least we have been bitching about them for a long time).

Diodorus must be from Dallas.

"This new grill cooks so much better."
-----------------------Yep. The new burners sitting up off the bottom of the unit and having four instead of one big one really makes a difference.

Congrats on the grill btw.

They have Lays kettle cooked sea salt and cracked pepper chips on sale this week at Kroger for $1.99. I bought ten bags. I might get more before the week ends. :-)
