Mine was fun mixed in with a project I didn’t finish because it was interrupted by various factors. My driveway needs to be re-caulked, so the process is 1) dig out old sealant2) prep the divides (those straight lines you see on sidewalks and concrete slabs) and 3) apply new sealant. Steps one and two went great. Between my edger (used carefully), my side grinder with a wire wheel attachment, and a wire brush attachment for my drill, I had old caulk out, the divides cleaned, and the concrete ready. Step three, which would normally be the easy step, was not easy. First, I made the mistake of purchasing the sealant at Big Box Store A, because the industrial supply company wasn’t open on Saturday. I got it home, and after the first few feet, I stopped Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , and after some select words for the crappy product, threw the used tube away and put the rest in a bag for return. Good news!With help from Google, I found a place that sells the sealant I want. Mrs. Fishin’ went to the store for me and brought the stuff home. I get going, and things are moving.......until I get to tube 2, and the sealant is bad. It must have gotten frozen or something, because it was half-hardened in the tube, and useless. Tube 3 was okay, tube 4 and 5, the same as the second. Well, that stinks. Oh well, I can go take the 3 useless tubes back and replace them, get home and finish the project that night or Sunday morning, and be done by noon. Great plan, until it started to rain. Rain was not in the forecast, but it rained anyway, without my permission. Hmph. All my backer rod was in, and now soaked. So, project is delayed until tonight Marcus Epps Jersey nfl draft , unless a monsoon decides to show up unannounced.At least we had a fun Easter. While Mrs. Fishin’ and Little Fishin’ were gone, I used some cotton balls to create a little trail where the Easter Bunny made his rounds, stopped by kiddo’s legos and built a lego rabbit, and left eggs and eventually, an Easter basket (including two water cannons, one for kiddo and one for me. Those things are cool, they’ll shoot water about 50 feet! Our yard will be a mini war zone this summer.) Kiddo had a blast, then we went to my brother’s farm & ate way too much & played pinochle, and did more Easter egg hunting. Then home to my uncompleted project, which still aggravates me a bit, but will be completed tonight, so all is well. Happy belated Easter, everyone. Keep an eye out in the fanposts for my annual Easter post, sorry it is a day late, but the weekend got a bit....hectic.Around the DN since our last open thread:Ted has the grand finale of The Greatest Playoff Win of All Time Tournament.MarkSP18 completed and posted Vikings Mock 4.21-Getting Bigger.Vikings news from elsewhere, NFL news, and anything else entertaining or annoying:If you haven’t seen the Vikings 2019 schedule, Vikings.com has it for you Youth Marcus Epps Jersey , and the crew on Winning Formula breaks it down for you.Kelly Stafford, wife of Matthew Stafford, is recovering at home after undergoing a 12-hour brain surgery, per NFL.com.Yikes, I’m glad all went well, but that’s a scary ordeal.From NFL.com, Donovan McNabb thinks the Eagles should draft another QB.

A perfect marriage of talent and need, it appears"When it comes to the NFL Draft process, there are generally two crowds: one that advocates drafting for need, and one that advocates for simply drafting the mythical “best player available” (who, inevitably, almost always seems to line up with a need). The best picks, generally, are the ones where talent and need meet in perfect harmony, much like chocolate and peanut butter.According to Will Brinson of CBS Sports, that’s what happened last night with the Minnesota Vikings’ selection of North Carolina State center Garrett Bradbury. Brinson put together a list of some of the winners and losers from Thursday night, and Bradbury was placed firmly into the “Winner” category.Here’s what Brinson had to say about him:As we’ve said since the selection was made last night, Bradbury appears to have been the right pick for the Vikings, and someone that can immediately plug into the middle of the offensive line and upgrade things significantly. Now it’s time to hope that the Vikings can keep this positive momentum going throughout Friday and Saturday of draft weekend.
