Alaskan Grizzly

Excellent! Thank you sir.

Been awhile since I was last in Chicago but what kinda weather should we expect in late September? Kinda remember it having a more traditional autumn timeframe there (we don’t). Wife was curious as she tends to run cold.

Once I retire (next summer) we’re talking about moving abroad or at least living long term overseas. I’ve watched with great interest when you travel to Thailand. Don’t think I’d be able to convince the missus to go there with me though.

So far so good sir. Just hosted our 4th annual block party and had a great time in the sun . We try and keep it near the solstice since the weather in June is generally better. Having it “beach themed” almost felt like we were in the islands. Lol. Tomorrow’s supposed to be in the mid 70s and possibly creep into the 80s for the weekend. Before you know it our sun will be gone and the snow will be back. For now we’re living big in the sun . Hope all is well for as well in ‘Bama(?).

Yes it isn’t a bad Scotch at all. I’ve determined I'm more a Bourbon guy but will dabble in a Scotch here and there. This one I like. Like I said good price at Costco. I hear you on the Bears gear. Was in Colorado a few years ago watching the Rockies play. Wore my Jordan #45 Sox Jersey with Bears hat. Got a lot more “Da Bears” than I expected. This year I’ve seen more Bears fan out in the remote-er parts of Alaska thinking “where did you all come from”?

lol! Ok I’m slow. Is 46051 your zipcode?

Likewise Pix! All the best to you. Hope things are going well.

Just talked to one of my Packer neighbors today and he’s wanting to make a packers / bears game for next year. Looks like that’ll be on the ‘to do’ list.

Thought I’d drop a quick thread here to do a quick check in on where everyone is at. Mostly wanted to tell Mad Lith (if he’s out there somewhere) I found some of that Lagvulin at Costco for just over $40. That’s a pretty incredible price! Anyhow, I’m not much on here during the summer as summers in Alaska are something you take full advantage of. I hope all our members, past and current, are doing well! Looking forward to re-engaging with you all (yes even you Mongo, PHX and Stinger lol) once the season begins. I’m not sure how it’ll shake out just yet but it’s always fun to watch … regardless. Meanwhile in the World Cup … go Portugal and Mexico!

Thanks kind sir. To Stingers point, I really wanted to make a Packers game but they were too late in the season and wife doesn’t do well at all in cold (ironic I know). Gonna try and make a Packers / Bears game at Lambeau with some neighbor friends after this year.

I hope you’re right. Wife decided after never seeing a live bears game at Soldier field she insisted we go to one before they move. This is the one we’ll be seeing. To say I’m stoked would be an understatement!

Meanwhile the Bears finally address the Dline with Jordan Van Den Berg in the 6th round.

I hope Ian Cunningham going to Atlanta doesn’t expose Poles’ too much . Ian’s’ day two grade was an A compared to Poles’ B+. (Reason for day one grade of C was due to their trade of this year’s #1 last year to get James Pearce Jr.).

I’m guessing we’ll see an edge picked in the second round since (as you say) there’s a lot of them left.
