You can buy any tube man design you want. Mine is an American flag one. And I’m sure now they will print to order. The investment is in the fan below it which is big, heavy and weighs a bunch. So you need a power source. Here’s mine. 10’ tall.

I invested in one of these guys years ago for a 4th of July party we have every year at our lake cottage. Why is his friends showing up behind the baskets at games now? I first noticed this last season and here we are now with this crap being more regular at games. Even we have a smaller one...

When I was a young buck I had to drive my car to Randolph, VT with an older co-worker to visit our factory at the time. It started snowing on the way up so when we got off the I-89 Randolph ecxit I decided to top my car off at the gas station so it would be full for the ride home. While it was...

Semi-related, I just did my yearly dance with Xfinity last week to cry poor on their rate increase and was offered a locked price of the same l was paying for 5 years. And that was after last year’s $30 reduction they gave me when I did my yearly pushback. The cable companies know what’s coming...

The win was real. I don’t think this highlights recap was though.

Our son is back from UConn, just milling around this week, so to my surprise his friend who goes to UMass got dropped off at our house by his mom right from university pickup. The towm friends are gathering for this evenin and beyond this week. I asked him why he didn’t stay for the game...

Just make sure the Turkey(s) are properly cooked so no one gets sick... A properly cooked turkey should be roasted at 325°F or 350°F until its internal temperature reaches 165°F in the thickest part of the thigh and breast. For a whole turkey, cooking time varies by weight; a general guideline...

Weird because I am Diamond too and saw it on an Xfinity Rewards email they sent me shortly after they launched the platform. Maybe they were just trying to get some early joiners on that offer. That little program has been fruitful for me with a free and halfway decent portable Bluetooth speaker...

For the salary, can maybe this new guy also spend some time helping UMass-Lowell for basketball too?

I love UConn shrines. That is great! Seeing the other panoramics has be thinking that mine has a whole lot more going on behind the mat and framing. The added brass plate is interesting so I wonder if it was done by the framer or came that way from the artist. The closest one I can find...

I remeber this artist and stadium panoramic style was all the rage around then and into the 2000s. But pricing was kind of stupid and I had a poster framing addiction and wall space issue already for 1990's Phish band posters of the shows I went to. So for this to circle back all these years...

Always on the hunt for interesting UConn finds on marketplace, I picked this up in NJ last week for $30. I’ve was keeping an eye on it for like a year but had no reason to be in NJ for pickup until something came up last weekend which brought me to the area. And it was still listed so I reached...

I bought poverty seats in section 213 for Stevie Nicks so no luxury experience for me. But at least I'll get a first good look of what's going in there after all of these exciting renovations.
