I’d been thinking for awhile the rams are my pick to win the superbowl and this just seems to confirm that. Seattle’s a good team but darnold is up and down. Seems to be down at the worst times.

I sort of don't care any more. This isn't a team that can get to the Super Bowl. We will back into the playoffs but its going nowhere. Better figure out how to beat the Rams and 49ers next year or none of it matters.

That snow depth this month was partly built off of the storm at the end of November. And the peak depth this month was not even close to the December 2000 depth, and it just barely beat out the peak depth in December 2005, 2008, and 2010. The back half of this month looks like it will be crap. So taking the circumstances in totality, it's a better December than the recent ones but not anything that special.

I turn my own wrenches for most stuff. I don't do transmissions services though, in most cases (my Subie excluded) its a simple straightforward process, but I don't trust myself. The Honda dealership does out Honda Pilot's transmission service, and I have an independent mechanic I like that does my Subie. I'll actually get the Honda serviced at the same independent mechanic next time, they have a Honda master tech on staff. I'm probably going to break down and have them do a brake fluid and coolant flush as well. I hate dealing with both those fluids. I'm definitely starting to feel myself getting to the "I'm gettin' too old for this sh*t" with some work. But I've probably saved $10-20k over the years doing it myself.

And now Bryant is down. Looks like an ankle sprain.
