At least we don't have to make time to watch the Ravens' playoff game - again  :wall:

Yea, that would suck.  Terps hoops are going well so far and I have some hope for the football team for the first time in a long time.  Like maybe top 25 good eventually but still way better than they were during the Edsell dark ages.

I really like the freshmen Turgeon brought in - they're good, but not SO good they'll leave early

I'm still withholding judgement on the football team. I agree that I feel better with Durkin than with that nitwit Edsall, but he's got a long way to go to get the talent level up. 

 
I'm officially getting old. I can't sleep in anymore even when I have no good reason to be up. Made it to 5:15 this morning. Even more amazing is that the dog made it that long. He's become my daily 4:30 alarm clock.

 
Also, anybody have any experience with good quality canopy tents? 

My KD Kanopy didn't survive the snow, so I had to replace it this morning. Not sure how much the KD was new (I received it broken and brought it back to life). Great tent, but my guess is they are at least $400-500 new. Site makes you call for prices.

Went with an ABC Canopy just to test it out. It seems of decent quality and it's cheap enough that I don't need it to be as good as that KD was.

 
I plan to hit the weights about 7:30, then cardio.  Should be al done exercising around 9:30 which leaves me the rest of the day to be somewhat productive.  Starting a new job tomorrow (first new organization in 30 years) so I'm a little amped up.

No experience with canopy tents.  What kids sport are you using it for?

Oh, I don't use it kids sports. It's stationary. I just use for a little weather protection for my grills and some outdoor freezers at the restaurant. Mainly, so I don't get my ### wet smoking pulled pork in the rain. It's pretty ghetto, but it makes more sense than building a real lean-to sort of roof (which would be about a grand just to do it myself, I think). Probably at least $2500-3000 to have somebody else do it.

My main issue is I need to pull the fabric canopy part off when snow is coming. I usually do, but we were just supposed to get a light dusting this time and I didn't bother. Somehow, it didn't collapse, but the fabric ripped pretty bad.

It doesn't need to be world class, but needs to be little more sturdy than an $80 Walmart canopy.

You have a barbecue restaurant too?

I wouldn't call it that. We're a hot dog/burger/breakfast place that also serves Pulled Pork (and every once in a while when I have time, Brisket and Smoked Turkey). It sells pretty regularly, but we don't sell a ton of it (which is fine by me because I don't have the time, staff or set-up to smoke a ton of it). It's not world class Tipsy level BBQ, but it's better most anything you can get around here (not saying much). Honestly, I'm not overly proud of it either. I used to BBQ catering which I much preferred. I could serve it fresh off the smoker that way. No real way to do that here.

Ah I remember your story now.  The restaurants doing pretty well now, right?

I think so. Well, not this week. This week has sucked (January has been our slowest month the past couple of years), and snow and closed days don't help. But overall, very good. I was very fortunate. The place has been here 47 years now. Business was in decline, but a very loyal base of customers were still coming and keeping it afloat. I mostly just needed to not run off the regulars, do some things to bring in some new customers, and make it more efficient. We're getting there.

 
Congrats on the new gig JD.

Funny you started this - my wife hates me because I wake her up most weekends because I can't sleep in.  I got up at 7:15 which is late for me.

Thanks AAA.  Looking forward to it.

Just about done ruining any hope I had to shedding some lbs with this weight session.  I'm about to get some cardio in and just completely exacerbate my weight loss folly.
