Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
Ok, so two other friends and two other family members all tested positive just today. None of us have been around each other. That’s more positives in my immediate circle than ever before in this thing.

Re: Not so funny real life Capt Trips thread
I won’t be leaving for a couple of months. Need sort out visa, place to live, moving dogs and family.
Didn’t really need this, but what are you gonna do?

I'm in the minority but I probably wouldn't want to move to France or most other countries. I mean, if I really wanted to do that I'd probably have just done it. Complicated for me.

If they come through on the France option, my choices are travel back and forth from Alabama to Knoxville, relocate to Colmar or Grenoble France.

If any of you jack-legs can get Weller near you, I’d be happy to buy it. It’s my favorite (along with Blantons) and damn near impossible to find anymore. Wife was flying in to Nashville last weekend and I picked her up. Went early and hit five different stores. Nothing.

Pokes played like shit. Ike was tight early and they didn’t move the ball quickly enough for me in the second half. They had a few guys knocking down shots when they moved ball rather than just Maldonado and Ike playing two-man games.
