Mornin' dudes. Rained here yesterday, too. I've already walked the puppy dog and I need to cut the grass and make a Costco run, but I gotta wait for the damn grass to dry.

Looks like Aaron Rodgers' season is over after 4 plays. That achilles snapped. You could see it on the replay.

Years ago my friend snapped his Achilles and said the rehab was brutal. He was in his mid-40s when it happened and certainly not an elite athlete like ARodg but said despite the many hours going to PT and doing exercises at home, his leg never felt the same.

The guy is kind of a douche, but I never want to see anyone get injured. I was actually looking forward to see if he made that much of a difference for the team... and now we'll never know.

I have dealt with it in the realm of representing people hurt in MVA crashes.

Most often, it occurred from slamming on the brake pedal. One case involved the firewall/floor buckling up and another was due to the driver seat sliding forward forward and severing the achiles tendon.

None of my clients were ever the same. I saw one about five years ago and she said that despite surgery, it just never fully healed right.

Hard to see a 39 year-old quaterback comming back...

Well, he's likely going to have the absolute best medical care and rehab folks working with him. We'll see...

Unless something goes medically wrong with the surgery or rehab complications, I can absolutely see Rodgers coming back. He’s single, no kids and will have an even bigger chip on his shoulder to prove the naysayers wrong. I also think he feels a strong obligation to the Jets owner and organization and wouldn’t be surprised if he played till at least 2025.

75 million guaranteed. That is 18.75 million per play.
Good work, if you can get it.

Four years of Favre will he/won't he, followed by AR playing a similar game for a couple years followed by his smug, swarmy, douchey departure.
Good riddence.

If it’s Tuesday we must be in Girdwood a ski resort town on the Turnagain arm of Cook Inlet. Couldn’t get weather to comply on the flight over Denali and headed to Seward tomorrow for a glacier trip.

My evening just took an interesting turn...

Storms rolled through with a lot of lightning and thunder but little rain. Wife went to bed, and I was going to go out on the back patio to smoke a cigar but wanted to go out front to see if I could see some lightning and make sure nothing was fast approaching. I suddenly realized that I was not alone on my front porch. There was a 10-12 inch juvenile diamond back rattlesnake sitting there looking at me like i just fugged up it's evening plans.

I tried to use the heavy thick doormat to slide mr. Snake away but it was having none of that. I really tried. Apparently it had paid the airbnb booking fee and it was staying. A few less gentle nudges moved it a bit farther down the walkway but it appeared resolute. I tried, I promise. Don't call the Sierra club on me.

Two minutes later I had retrieved a flat blade shovel and some lopping shears. I found the snake perched up in the arms of an aloe plant in front of my house. Excellent, it was elevated. A quick snip with the shears grabbed it and pinned it, and the blade of the shovel took its head off. It was still writhing and the head was still trying to bite as I buried it in a shallow grave so my kids wouldn't try to pet it in the morning...

Now I am out back smoking and trying to figure out which snake repellent granules to order from Amazon. I am sure he had homies.

Fortunately I haven't seen any snakes, yet. My neighbor has...

Talk about thunder and lightning? A boom so hard it shook my house like a damn earthquake last night. Was so loud the puppy dog didn't even bark or whine. He just looked at me like... "WTF was THAT!"

Got a little wet on the dog walk today. I won't melt.

Lab work and complete physical this morning.
Financial planner meeting in the afternoon.
Waiting for it to warm to a Feels Like temperature warmer than 51. Ideally 55 to walk the dog.

Miss Kuba has been varying between whining while staring at me and dropping heavily on one of her cushions with exaggerated sighs in vain attempts to get me to walk now.

Tank will come over to the recliner, sit right in front of me... and stare at me until I get up.

Stogie,
The area where your house is was my quail hunting grounds many years ago. I’ve probably never hunted there without encountering at least one rattlesnake on every trip.

We also used the area for our Boosie Boondockers so you may find a lot of beer cans if you dig.
