Good, my kids can have their pick of all the good jobs. We started getting college flyers this summer, and a few weeks ago he started his SAT prep class. Yeah, made me feel older lol.

Not saying there isn’t value in having a hard class in a tough subject that you have to pass to graduate, because there is, but I haven’t used calculus since I passed my final as a Jr in college.

September 2, 20232 yr I made this for you guys Because your my freinds It didn't take me very long either I hope you get like it!
September 6, 20232 yr They're projecting tropical storm Lee to be a major hurricane that could possibly be devastating to the US
September 7, 20232 yr Who would you start at RB2? Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) vs KC Alexander Mattison (MIN) vs TB James Connor (ARI) vs WAS I also have Brian Robinson (WAS) going against ARI but who knows there. Leaning strongly towards Gibbs but weird to start a rookie week 1. Detroit has David Montgomery too.

Arizona has no QB and WSH has a good d that will be focused on stopping the run. TB still has Vita Vea.

But I really, REALLY don't want it to hit here now. Losing power would be a big burden for us, if it's for more than a few hours.

Gibbs could be limited in a potential shoot out (KC O vs Detroit D) and James Connor plays for Arizona with a back up QB that was in Cleveland last year. While I like Brian Robinson, he is in more of a time share with Gibson where as I see Mattison getting volume

While I like Brian Robinson, he is in more of a time share with Gibson where as I see Mattison getting volume yeah this is inline with my thinking. I included all my possible starters, but I really think it comes down to Gibbs or Mattison. I think Mattison is a "fine" back, but he's also I believe the clear #1 in Minnesota. He should get a fair amount of touches. Gibbs is a better back, and will be featured in the pass game as well. But he's also a rookie, and David Montgomery is going to get a fair number of touches I'd wager. Jones being out is a factor too. I'm leaning Gibbs, because the guy could break a big run and take it to the house. But I also see him being the more likely to be a dud. So he could get me like 2 pts or 22 pts. my RB1 is McCaffrey.

For now, I'm going to stock up on gas for the generator and other supplies as if we'll be out of power for a week or more.

For full transparency, I had to choose between Jones Jr and Gibbs in my daily tonight, and I went with Gibbs. I just see the Vikings game being closer, slower paced and went with Mattison. Hopefully you can't go wrong either way.

Hopefully it doesn't hit anywhere because it looks like it'll go from cat 5 to cat 4 and stay at a cat 4. That'll be devastating
