I was taking some photos last night to fill some Kubrick holes in the JD Image Database and I just couldn't resist.

For Brent:

I filled up last night on the way from from the grocery store - $2.579 per gallon. 

It's about $2.65+ at most of the other stations, I guess I just lucked into a "cheap" one.

What a difference a day makes - I drove by the same station on my way home from work and now they are up to $2.829 per gallon.   ::)

I would like it noted that the SW Choppers are now on CLEARANCE at all of my local MN Target stores - they didn't even make it 6 months (Dec 2005 - April 2006). 

Goodbye and good riddance.   :P

Nope, not yet. I'll have to wait 'til I get some new tires before hitting the track.  :P

When you take that ride out to the track, that would make for a fun MN group meeting.  You wouldn't have a problem letting each of us take it for a spin, would ya?   :P   ;)

Hard to believe that the Twins are in the middle of the pack there in payroll... of course, all they have to do is trade Torii and BRadke mid-season (~$20 million between them) and then they drop back down the bottom quarter.   :P

On the bright side, Crosby turned out to be better than the expectations put on him.  I think you're wrong that he doesn't deserve top Rookiee honors.  Youngest player to put up 100 points in a season, plus on the worst team of the season, plus that's not going into the leadership qualities he really REALLY exemplified this year.  He stepped up even during their infamous 18 game skid and didn't lose heart despite being shat upon nightly.

Yeah, I think Sid the Kid would be a lock any other year, but with Ovechkin putting up 105 points (50+ goals) on a team that's almost as bad as the Penguins... going to be a hard call there.

I think since they are so evenly matched, it will come down to the Goals Scored and that will put Ovechkin over the top...

None.   :'(

Maybe this week will be my lucky week?

Saga Collection '06 / Re: Battle of Tatooine Wave
« on: April 18, 2006, 02:22 PM »
One thing to remember is that the ROTS Hits waves are shipping under a separate Assortment number, so it is possible that the ROTS Hits wave 1 and Tatooine wave will hit at the same time...

Crap, this beyond sucks. Not having Tomas back for the playoffs is going to be a HUGE obstacle to overcome. I was dreading facing the Ducks in the first round as it was.

Seems like the Preds are doing OK to me... Mason not only has 5 wins in a row, he even managed to score a goal!   :P


edit:
And, I forgot to mention that I'll be pulling for the Red Wings in the playoffs.  I'd love to see Stevie Y get to go out on top.   ;)

I picked up this game tonight at Best Buy ($39.99).

It's installing as we speak, looking forward to more than just the demo I've been practicing on!   :)

Jeff, you really need to get on the ball if you really want to win this thing.   >:(

As Meatloaf once said, "two out of three ain't bad."  :D



And, in other news, I was listening to the radio today and they were talking MLB Payroll.  I hadn't heard yet that thanks to all the off-season trades, the Florida Marlins Payroll is less than $15 million. 

That means that at least 12 players in MLB this year will make more than the whole 25-member Marlins team combined.
1. Alex Rodriguez - $25,680,727
2. Derek Jeter - $20,600,000
3. Jason Giambi - $20,428,571
4. Barry Bonds - $20,000,000
5. Jeff Bagwell - $19,369,019
6. Mike Mussina - $19,000,000
7. Manny Ramirez - $18,279,238
8. Todd Helton - $16,600,000
9. Andy Pettitte - $16,428,416
10. Magglio Ordonez - $16,200,000
11. Randy Johnson - $15,661,427
12. Chan Ho Park - $15,333,679


In fact, the top trio of Yankees on the list together make more than 13 teams.  Add in Mussina and you have more money in those four guys than in 17 others have in their entire team.   :o
