bought one of these about 7 years ago, way more handy than the cables. i take it on the boat on weekends as well. the newer ones can only be better

I did too; told a coworker about it and she bought one that week, and that very weekend needed it up at the reservoir. Turned over her F-250 no problem!

with all the electrical, puter screens etc on new vehicles, im a little reluctant to hook two of them up with the cables nowadays. that little box turns over my f550 v10, have used it on big diesels, my 115 mercury, old 1950s hobart welder generators, the tractor, lawn mower, 4wheeler......and it charges up the phone when the powers out

Good stuff @ColbyLang !

I saw this at a strip mall today. It appeared to be some sort of meat paste. The place had a Venezuelan restaurant and a banh mi shop.

My guess is that someone here will know what’s going on.

Dyal_SC · February 14

@DoubleEgger , are you sure it was for consumption? Looks like an art project. lol

Dyal_SC · February 14

I don’t know why I’m so intrigued at that @DoubleEgger. Possibly tofu?

I don’t have a clue.

First thought was paté for banh mi, but they're drying that out.

I know the flys don’t like cold weather but I would think a stray cat would haul one of those off

Are you sure it's food and not adobe bricks?

It’s been wall to wall cup matches, but we’re back in the groove this weekend. Liverpool remain out front, and no real concerted effort is being made to haul them in. Arsenal are second but lack the top tier talent to apply sustained pressure. Forest are still riding the rip in the matrix to be in third and Chelsea fourth, but 14 points shy of top spot. Spurs and Man Utd are still in lower mid-table doldrums and not looking like pulling out. Anchored at the foot are Southampton and their second victory of the season at Ipswich last week did nothing to help, but pulled the Tractor Boys deeper in to the vortex.

Tonight

Brighton v Chelsea, a repeat of last weekend’s cup fixture when the Chels capitulated. That was a win after two defeats for the filthy Seagulls, so evenly poised. 1-1

Saturday

Leicester v Arsenal, being 33 points apart tells the story here. The Gunners have more power in the treatment room, currently and so pressing home their qualitative advantage may be tough. But still, 0-2

Villa v Ipswich, the hosts are not the force they were last season but are doing well in Europe - where the big money is earned. The Tractor Boys will slip from view unless a sustained turnaround can be achieved, immediately. 2-0

Fulham v Forest, despite Forest being third this match still reads as a home win - but we should respect the data. A draw does not feel right either. The away win could yield a nine point buffer in the Euro zone for Forest, so let’s go 1-2 because of that.

Man City v Newcastle, 5th host 6th and all but identical stats this season. City really are not who they were, while Toon still don’t have an identity since the big money takeover. City will take the lead and let it slip, 1-2

Southampton v Bournemouth, a south coast derby which might add a bit of zing & pip to the Saints - but they face being brutally outgunned by their upper mid-table local rivals. Cherries fans will regale and gambol across the verdant New Forest vistas upon their return. 0-2

West Ham v Brentford, the Hammers’ season to forget continues and is typified by the 11th place Bees looking too strong for them. Not much in it 1-0.

Palace v Everton, an evening game that follows after a whirlwind derby for the Toffees mid-week. They travel with potentially as few as 14 outfield players because of injury and suspensions. The mighty Eagles have been parsimonious of late, so away goals are unlikely. Recent form says 1-0, but naturally I will assume a catastrophic reversal.

Sunday

Liverpool v Wolves, eight points adrift of 16th but starting the weekend two points clear of the final relegation spot, Wolves are in a perilous condition. I doubt they will sink below the dotted line but will get humped at Anfield. 3-0.

Spurs v Man Utd, well - this is anyones guess. Normally 14th hosting 13th would be a side note at best but look who it is! Spurs have many injuries to senior players and have adopted the sword/live/die strategy. As for Utd, the long view is that decline has been evidence for many years and each high cost roll of the dice to re-establish themselves has failed. Neither will go down because they only need a few more points to stay safe - given the weakness of the bottom three. Will definitely not be 0-0, might be 17-9, meh 2-2.

So I have gone with form and league position as my strategy. I wonder if any of the coaches will adopt the newly fashionable ‘I’ll let you have the outcome and territory you want as long as I get a cut of the burger stall revenue’ approach?

Brilliant as always. The only prediction I'll take issue with is that Man City likely have enough to take Newcastle. But the only thing I'm fairly certain about is the Liverpool won't slip up twice in a row.

Fortunately the one's I have enjoyed have tossed the goods on tables. Stand there, grab and inhale.
No chance I could recover (get up) from the floor option these days.
Didn't see much in the way of news while perusing the banquet papers!

USA, Canada starts with a fight. I love it.

Three fights and counting
