Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit Official Trailer #1

 


This is an intense movie. Based on characters we all read 20 years ago it is a lot better than I expected. Action packed from stem to stern it is worthy of your entertainment dollars.






















Go see it! 3 and 3/4 Floyds




 

Buckeye Game Day - Orange Bowl Edition

Buckeyes take on a very good Clemson team tonight in Miami.. Clemson is a 2.5 point favorite over the Bucks. If Ohio State's questionable defense can make a few plays Ohio State will be in good shape. The Buckeyes should score well over 30 in this one with Braxton and Carlos Hyde doing a lot of damage. Also look for the tight ends to be a big factor.

With Noah Spence suspended and Bradley Roby out with an injury it will be time for some unsung guys to step up and earn their scholarships. Look for Shazier to have a monster game in his Buckeye finale. I also look for Kenny Guiton to do something special in this game.

I think Urban pulls out all the stops and the Buckeyes play just enough defense to win a shootout 45-35.

Clemson has won the only other meeting 17-15 in the 1978 Gator Bowl in what was Woody Hayes last game.

Gettysburg Trip 2014

I went last year and learned some valuable lessons that I thought I would share.

1. Do not go alone - I did last year, and while I had a great time alone, and it would have been awesome to have to have some folks to share in an adventure with.
2. Don't camp in mid-July - Gettysburg is hot and humid in July.. Also, taking the right size tent is a must.  
3. Go to a museum - Last year I went to the new Seminary Ridge Museum, the new visitors center and cyclorama, and the Eisenhower Farm. This year I want to also go to the Dale Gallon Studio in downtown Gburg.
4. Hire a Licensed Battlefield Guide - I do this every time I go. Can get a little pricey but so well worth it.
5. Take advantage of the Rangers programs - These are free guided tours and are excellent. And everyone should do the Cemetery Tour.
6. Carry plenty of water with you
7. Eat well - Stay away from the trappings of the oh too convenient McDonalds

I am going to go again this year but I have not picked a date yet. I will leave late on a Wednesday night and plan to arrive early on Thursday morning. I plan on coming home sometime on Saturday. If you want to go we need to start picking a date. If you want to go let me know soon.

What say you men?

Defenders of the Realm

This is a game that I picked up this year and haven't taken out of the box yet. Shame on me. So when are we playing?

 

Happy New Year

Here's to 2014. My resolution for this blog is to be more active on it. I wish you all a safe and happy 2014. May your worst day in 2014 be better than your best day of 2013!
