I think its safe to say that when your mother passed, she felt relief that she would no longer have to deal with you.

Geeezzz this seems like Opening Day in football or even baseball,  I don't really remember this kind of hoopla just for a draft.

We might get out our CHICAGO ITALIAN BEEF SANDWICH recipe, four pounds of top round seared then cooked for hours in the oven, featuring Italian seasonings and roasted red peppers  sliced very thin  served up on sourdough  bagettes. Haven't had it in years and plenty for the neighbors and day two.

See GAMEDAY food if you're interested in the recipe. Ummmmm.

Had to share that bottle of Napa Cab with my son in law tonight so I'm down to about 2 glasses left. Thinking about one of my Bordeauxs next. And if I hear Allen it will be a triple shot of Diplomatico.

Well, as the original board wino, I had a vacu-vin once upon a time, didn't like it. Here's why. When you create a vacuum on top of wine, it sucks all those nice volatile aromas out of the wine into the vacuum too. LOL, most bottles don't last long enough around here for me to do multiple tastings out of them. If I was going to try and preserve a great wine, I'd get a can of compressed nitrogen (same principle as those really pricey Cruvinets). The really old (20+ y.o.) wines I have start changing the minute you open them. I do have a bottle of Kenwood Sonoma chardonnay that's been sitting in the 'fridge for a week or two. I don't worry about the everyday swill $10 Cline Old Vine zinfandel I keep lying around when the wife wants something to drink while she's watching House Hunters International.  

Draft Day I'll probably stick with some 2013 Napa Cellars "V" (their top of the line) Cabernet I got at a massive post off sale. Nothing like getting an $80 wine for $25 bucks- and it tastes like a $80 cab. If I hear any QBs name that isn't Allen or (unlikely) Jackson at #1, it will be time to break out the Diplomatico or Lagavullin.

Mike which list do you use? I often print drafttek list of the first 300. Each page has 100 players on it.

Bill,

I was just going to Google one, but now I'll probably just use this one you posted. THANKS!

We'll see. Opening it tonight. Good thing the old winefridge has backups available. Plus I had yesterday confused with today so there's one less day for it to last. Fortunately no one else here likes dry red wines and I have a good air sucker with corks to keep it decent for a week.

Second Draft I'm going to watch. Maybe I'll print that! Though I think I'll only watch Rounds 1-2 and probably all of them sound familiar to me .

Well we BROWNS fans have been kicking around this draft stuff since the last CLE vs pit game, four long months we need something else to do until it's April 26....this is worse than waiting for Christmas when you're 6 years old, I know make a to do list!

  x    do taxes, done.

  x    make a quarterback list, done to death

        do another mock draft? 

        watch the INDIANS  play in Puerto Rico starting Tuesday, *4/17/18 and Wednesday  4/18/18, now that will be neat!  

        get ready for the Kentucky Derby 5/5/18, hey that's Cinco de Mayo too, woo-hoo 

        I know get ready for summer, now there's  something to look forward too in NE OHIO!

Any other ideas? Please?

*edit, the INDIANS are off Monday and play Tuesday (FS1) Wednesday (STO/ESPN) in Puerto Rico. 

You don't have to put jack off on the list. Guys here got that one down to a science.

@mjp28 said:

And tonight 0-0 top 13th,  wow and I've watched it all.  

And now 1-1 bottom of the 14th.

@mjp28 said:

Well if any of you chose watch the INDIANS in Puerto Rico up 5-0 top 7 with Kluber.  Lindor scored first runs 2R HR and the place went wild.

And tonight 0-0 top 13th,  wow and I've watched it all.

NUCOR (NUE) has historically been a great stock,  never reduced a dividend, in my day never laid anyone off and used to split all the time. It has really grown especially after I retired. 

@mjp28 said:

Sounds good,  I spent most of my working career in the steel industry starting in basic steel with US STEEL and ended up with NUCOR in their steel joist, girder and deck division before retiring. It was quite interesting and I liked NUCOR, great company.

I did get my MBA finished while at NUCOR.
