Mine was fun mixed in with a project I didn’t finish because it was interrupted by various factors. My driveway needs to be re-caulked, so the process is 1) dig out old sealant2) prep the divides (those straight lines you see on sidewalks and concrete slabs) and 3) apply new sealant. Steps one and two went great. Between my edger (used carefully), my side grinder with a wire wheel attachment, and a wire brush attachment for my drill, I had old caulk out, the divides cleaned, and the concrete ready. Step three, which would normally be the easy step, was not easy. First, I made the mistake of purchasing the sealant at Big Box Store A, because the industrial supply company wasn’t open on Saturday. I got it home, and after the first few feet, I stopped, and after some select words for the crappy product, threw the used tube away and put the rest in a bag for return. Good news!With help from Google, I found a place that sells the sealant I want. Mrs. Fishin’ went to the store for me and brought the stuff home. I get going, and things are moving.......until I get to tube 2, and the sealant is bad. It must have gotten frozen or something, because it was half-hardened in the tube, and useless. Tube 3 was okay, tube 4 and 5, the same as the second. Well, that stinks. Oh well, I can go take the 3 useless tubes back and replace them, get home and finish the project that night or Sunday morning Alexander Mattison Jersey Womens , and be done by noon. Great plan, until it started to rain. Rain was not in the forecast, but it rained anyway, without my permission. Hmph. All my backer rod was in, and now soaked. So, project is delayed until tonight, unless a monsoon decides to show up unannounced.At least we had a fun Easter. While Mrs. Fishin’ and Little Fishin’ were gone, I used some cotton balls to create a little trail where the Easter Bunny made his rounds, stopped by kiddo’s legos and built a lego rabbit, and left eggs and eventually, an Easter basket (including two water cannons, one for kiddo and one for me. Those things are cool, they’ll shoot water about 50 feet! Our yard will be a mini war zone this summer.) Kiddo had a blast, then we went to my brother’s farm & ate way too much & played pinochle, and did more Easter egg hunting. Then home to my uncompleted project, which still aggravates me a bit, but will be completed tonight, so all is well. Happy belated Easter, everyone. Keep an eye out in the fanposts for my annual Easter post, sorry it is a day late, but the weekend got a bit....hectic.Around the DN since our last open thread:Ted has the grand finale of The Greatest Playoff Win of All Time Tournament.MarkSP18 completed and posted Vikings Mock 4.21-Getting Bigger.Vikings news from elsewhere, NFL news, and anything else entertaining or annoying:If you haven’t seen the Vikings 2019 schedule, Vikings.com has it for you, and the crew on Winning Formula breaks it down for you.Kelly Stafford, wife of Matthew Stafford, is recovering at home after undergoing a 12-hour brain surgery, per NFL.com.Yikes, I’m glad all went well, but that’s a scary ordeal.From NFL.com Alexander Mattison Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , Donovan McNabb thinks the Eagles should draft another QB. Here is a quote from the ever-articulate McNabb I don’t know what that means, either. I guess we’ll let it handle as it will handle itself.

Belly up and tie one on. Don’t forget to tip your waitress, and try the rabbit. We are officially one quarter of the way through the 2018 NFL season, so we have an opportunity to see what sort of “pace” a couple of the more prominent members of the Minnesota Vikings are on.We’ll start with quarterback Kirk Cousins, who at his current pace is on track to shatter all sorts of Vikings’ passing records. Through the season’s first four games, he has completed 131-of-189 passes for 1,387 yards and 10 touchdowns. That means that, if he kept that pace up for an entire season, he would complete 524-of-756 passes for 5,548 yards and 40 touchdowns.To see what kind of season that would be in the annals of Minnesota Vikings history, a season like that would give Cousins the Vikings’ single-season records for:Completions in a season (current record 395 by Sam Bradford in 2016)Attempts in a season (current record 606 by Warren Moon in 1995)Passing Yardage (current record 4,717 by Daunte Culpepper in 2004)Passing touchdowns (current record 39 by Daunte Culpepper in 2004)His 69.3% completion rate wouldn’t be the best in Vikings’ history, as that record lies with Bradford’s 2016 season as well (71.6%). But, beyond that, it would be hard to argue that it wasn’t the single-best passing season in the history of Vikings’ football. I don’t know if he’s going to be able to keep that pace up, but he certainly has gotten off to a hot start. And hey, if the Vikings keep fielding one of the worst rushing games in the NFL, he could very well get his chance.One of Cousins’ primary targets is, of course, Adam Thielen Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , and Thielen has also gotten off to a huge start to this season. He has 40 receptions in the team’s first four games, which is the second-highest total for a receiver through his first four games in NFL history. On those 40 receptions so far, he has racked up 473 yards, and has gone over 100 yards in each of the team’s first four games.At Thielen’s current pace, he’s in line for 160 receptions, which would crush not only the Vikings’ record for catches in a season (which belongs to Cris Carter, who had 122 receptions in 1994 and 1995), but the NFL record for receptions in a season, which is currently held by former Indianapolis Colts’ star Marvin Harrison (143). He would also end up with 1,892 yards, which would beat the current Vikings’ top mark by well over 200 yards. Right now, Randy Moss’ 2003 season is the high-water mark, with Moss collecting 1,632 yards that season.It’s not all sunshine, though, as far as potential records. With their woeful rushing output, the Vikings are currently on track to have their worst rushing output in a 16-game season in team history. Through the first four games, the Vikings. . .as a team. . .have rushed for just 252 yards, which would put them at just 1,008 yards for an entire season. As of now, the low-water mark in that category for the purple was set just two seasons ago, as the 2016 Vikings rushed for just 1,205 yards over 16 games. It’s been especially rough for Dalvin Cook, who has run for just 98 yards on 36 carries over the first four weeks (though he has missed about 1.5 of the team’s first four games).Hopefully Cousins and Thielen will continue trending in the right direction for their potentially record-setting seasons. And, hopefully, the rushing thing will come around at some point here.
