Umm where's the Oregon memorabilia?
More broad angle...

Bottom shelves will likely have to be empty with Thatcher Venmo rolling around. The Dolphins helmet and gloves are just there cause I didn’t have a bin to put them in storage yet.

Was shopping online for a present for my GF the other day...

saw a really nice Lee sherpa jacket in red cord that was reduced in price. Looked, and damn, only had it in a medium... thought it would dwarf her... buuuut I am a M/L so figured I should just get it for myself ahaha.

It arrived yesterday, went to try it on. It wont even go over my shoulders and the hem-line is above my hip lmao. One of her jackets is here still so held it up vs it annnnd they are the same size.

Ridiculous. Unseredipitously serendipitous. The jacket is labelled as an M but is like a XS/S. Which was the size I initially wanted for her that they did not have.

I should have taken a photo of me trying it on... very Freddy Mercury-esque ahahaha. Especially as I was chilling at home wearing a vest at the time. :laugh: Could start my own OnlyFans with that as the first post. :help: Flyers HFBoards will end up one big Flyers OnlyFans.

Tbh it is really nice and a big part of me was sad it did not fit me. :laugh::laugh::laugh: Even though ofc glad it will fit her.

"... and then I put my hand in the pocket and felt a small package. Inside were a mint-condition Gretzky rookie card signed by Wayne himself, a napkin with the formula for energy-neutral cold fusion scribbled on it, and a strange solid-gold key. 'Cool,' I thought as I got into the classic Porsche 911 my friend Ed Sheeran lent me to get to my first day on the set of the next Bong Joon-ho film, ... err movie."

Strangely one of my best friends I met at University went to school with Ed Sheeran. Said he was nice but very weird.

Porsche 911 was my fave car growing up. My taste has matured (and cheapened) since though aha. I like MGB's, early 70s Mustang's and Saab 99 Turbos.

Though I guess most likely will be getting an older Land Rover when actually need a car. Partially for practical reasons if move to where want to move to, and partially as GF wants one more than anything. :laugh:

States that had some of the worst Covid-19 case rates in past week also reported the highest rates of new vaccinations - CNN
The survey, led by the CDC, also indicates that about twice as many people have been infected with the virus as have been officially counted. More than 39 million Americans have been diagnosed with coronavirus infection since the pandemic started in 2020.

I'm imagining everyone running to vax sites going "shit shit shit shit shit oh shit"

MGBs are crap. Although to be fair, after all this time the ones that are still around have probably had everything that was likely to break replaced, so there’s that. MGAs on the other hand… saaaa-weeeeeet.

Oh yeh, look good but not a good car. The MGC's were also pretty poor. But look amazing aha.

The good thing with them is that they are really pretty simply built so can replace parts, fix yourself etc and make them a pretty good car that looks beautiful so easily. Still very cheap today. And engines very easy to come by, weirdly as the same engines were used for canal boats in the UK hahahahaha.

Not sure I will ever actually own one. Just a luxury item that is not needed unless have a lot of spare cash to have one as a hobby. Even if not a luxury price tag to get a solid one.
