Internet is off at the lake, so the webcam is back home in the front window here.

Highest I've seen the river in the Champlin, MN area for years. Pictures here sanschutz.homedns.org.

With what's going on in Washington these past few days I think this video is important to watch, it's from 1979!

Might try posting during the game for the fun of it.

13:22 q1 Nice 2 downs, too bad they give up 15 on 3rd.

1:35 q1Not much good to say, special teams ughhhh.

TD AP, he is amazing at times. Still scares me the way he carries the ball. Score 7-6 Vikes.

7:29 q2 Sure miss big Pat Wlliams. Blitzing and they can't even get near McNabb.

6:34 q2 Hate to say it, but I think that int is game over. They just aren't a playoff caliber offense with TJack. He's ok for a while, but he can make some really bad decisions under pressure.

:18 q2 Good gosh, clock management again! Why would you throw a pass if you were running the clock out?

1:42 q3 You have no offense you lose, three runs up the middle for 8 yards, beautiful. The better team is winning as it should be. There's just nothing at all out of the box coming from Childress and group.

0:00 q3 2 points. Least it's not a blow out I guess. If this offense could put something together they'd be dangerous.

8:38 q4 Keeping it exciting that's for sure. Defense is not perfect, but they sure are keeping them in the game.

Time, who cares. Offense, disgusting. String together a couple of firsts and a field goal you win. Now the eagles get a TD, game over folks. TJack is not the future. If he's the starting quarterback next year the vikes are going no where.

I don't think I've ever seen an offense put out such a pathetic display in a playoff game with a chance to win as this last 15 minutes. Good gosh there's just no there there at all.

11-29, that's just ugly as a QB. Ahhh, now a bad snap, it's like watching circus clowns now.

Good luck on season tickets. This display proves they're heading one direction until they get a QB.

My weekends are free now.

Checkout this chart at Seeking Alpha. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the spread being 2000 basis points means 20% right? That can't be good at all. Take a look at the accompanying column and fear for our future!

Looks like I'm back up. Not really sure what it was, but the config is fixed.

Upgraded to 1.5.1 geeklog and it really screwed things up. I'm working on it, but there's some sql tables I can't touch for some reason.

I haven't put anything out here for a while I see. Kinda surprising given the current political climate isn't it? I just can't do it, not sure I even want what I'm thinking to be permanent record out on the intertubes as they say. I'm thinking I'll have a lot to say after November 4th though.

I'll say this though, it's darn funny Mr. Franken couldn't even get the endorsement of the Strib. What were they thinking bypassing Ciresi for Franken? They probably could have locked up the MN seat, but they had to have the failed radio talk show host. I laughed pretty darn hard when I heard it. Angry Al will on is way back out out east Nov 5, no way he stays here if he loses. I say godspeed Al. I never want to see another one of his adds (frankly I never want to see any political ads at this point).

It's not even worth getting worked about up anymore. They've achieved bottom of the nfl status, low expectations is all you get. Kinda like Miami last year where it was a big deal to win one game. They're that bad. With such talent too, but it takes more than a couple real good players to make a good team. Going to be a long fall and winter with no good football to look forward to. Can still watch the games, but it's just to see if they can win. There's no of anything beyond that.

Went to the north shore Friday, hiked back to the tallest falls in MN, the Baptism River falls. Decided to walk back out in the river bed, that was fun! Tim called it the adventure of his life. Didn't see any other people for over an hour of travel. Pictures are here http://sanschutz.homedns.org/gallery/album145, there's a lot.
