I was pratically saying about the Dunkin Donuts commerical in the shower this morning hahaaa...

That's fantastic Joe. I'm sure your body thanks you.

It seems crazy that it's Baseball time again. However, I'm very ready for some baseball. I enjoy football and college basketball. I even enjoy golf but my love is baseball. I hope to be so fortunate for DTV to gift me the baseball package again this year but if not, I'll be a buyer.
I love watching the games. It doesn't take complete attention to watch baseball which give me the chance to read or play on the internet while the games are on. There are some rule changes for 2026. The ABS system will be implanted.
This is grabbed from the net:
Starting in the 2026 season, Major League Baseball will officially implement the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) Challenge System across all 30 ballparks for regular and postseason games. Players will retain the ability to challenge, with teams receiving two challenges per game to review umpire calls.
Key 2026 MLB Rules:

• ABS Challenge System: Human umpires remain on the field, but hitters, pitchers, and catchers can challenge called balls and strikes, which will be verified by Hawk-Eye tracking cameras.
• Challenge Mechanics:Players signal a challenge by tapping their head; if successful, the team retains the challenge
  .
• • Expanded Replay: Additional updates include expanded replay capabilities and further refined pace-of-play adjustments.
  • Implementation: Following extensive testing in the minors, this system will be used in all 2026 Spring Training, regular-season, and postseason games.

The initiative aims to improve accuracy in critical situations, with successful challenges resulting in the pitch being displayed on stadium videoboards.

The ABS system becoming official pleases me. If they are going to show me a strike zone and slow-mo the bad calls, I need for the players to have the ability to challenge or take the superimposed strike zone out of my picture.

I'm ready for some baseball!!

Super Bowl LX is in the books. If you like defense, this was the game for you. Both teams displayed dominating defense until the game got sloppy in the fourth quarter.
The Seattle Seahawks D dominated the New England Patriots O was the main story line though NE kept Seattle in check except for a MVP performance from Kenneth Walker III, Seattle's running back. It was an entertaining game to watch. It just wasn't packed with thrilling offensive plays that fans have become accustomed to in recent years of the NFL.

Never mind. It turns out that there were no files to save. It just looked that way.

I hear that! I wish many years of mornings in front of you my friend!

I haven't watched any competitions yet but did manage to watch some of the opening ceremony.
I always enjoy the thrill and drama displayed at the games. When you consider the effort and dedication to become an elite competitor on the world's largest stage, it's mind blowing. And to peak at your ability during the games and be so fortunate to not falter in your one chance to excel against athletes that have invested their life to out perform you is incredible odds. I admire the athletes and enjoy watching them compete.

Yup, shysters will be shysters ...

I remember seeing that a good while back.

Why does it sometimes display videos sideways instead of the regular way? How do I make it do the right thing? Why do I always have these crazy troubles?

I'm on my last Yuengling for the day.

Banned for being too nice of a person.

This assessment appears accurate.

So jealous of Key Largo

My S21 ultra is installing the last security update as I type. I have a different view of the EOL dilemma than most. Though I am sorry that the phone is losing it's support, I'm also relieved. It wasn't long after I purchased the phone that an update, likely an OS, caused a communication error between the phone and my hearing aids. With the BLE randomly dropping connections, I would often miss calls and texts with the phone thinking it was connected to the aids when it wasn't. If I anticipated a call or received a call, I would turn my aids off so I could communicate without losing the connection. It was a nightmare until I recently purchased new aids. The EOL gives me clear sailing until the phone struggles with app updates or simply dies.
