I am still mighty upset that the NHL refused to let its players participate but I am still looking forward to watching it.  I think Canada and Russia are favorites to win it but looking forward to see how USA does.  They could be a sleeper.

Thank you for posting the schedule.  I have been wondering where to find it.  I will have to record the games starting at 2:40 a.m.

What a great thing to do and thanks for posting this Alta.
I only got to go to one Bears game, but what an incredible experience and what amazing fans.  Not surprising they did this really.
I will endeavour to watch more Bears games when the Caps aren't playing.


Good luck Chris!

John Walton stopped in for some food @Bugsys in old town Alexandria before his trip to Korea.  He was super friendly and nice enough to sign this picture TWICE!

live coverage started at 2am local. I'm tired. The Hamiltons choked in mixed doubles, the South Korean women were very impressive in round 1 of the 3000m relay,     ........








N Koreas main contribution, their cheerleaders, is dumb

Women's biathlon is wrapping up. I always wanted a $15,000 rifle in .22LR

   You make it sound like Russia/Soviet Union has never won gold. They have won plenty.

The Soviet Union won it plenty because they sent their pro athletes against our amateurs. Hence Miricle On Ice. Russia has not won it. The two are not the same. Russia is missing about 8 countries the Soviet Union drew talent from

Love  it.  Before I got sick and could no longer work the H&K MP5SD fully automatic with integrated suppressor was next on my list of guns to buy.  I even had one lined up that was in pristine condition, transferable for $18K.  My son loved that gun too. That thing was so quiet and the integrated suppressor model is the same length as the standard MP5 without a suppressor.

Check it out:

I'm surprised they even allow guns to be used in the Olympics anymore.

yep, given all the attacks on an inanimate object, it is surprising.


I have a friend that sent his daughter to Ferrum collage because they have a great trap and skeet program, and WVU has a great program as well

The short track speed skating has been brutal, as has the snowboarding so far.  :wackysmile:
Looking forward to seeing the "Flying Tomato"    ;D
