XFL.

Had Half Bros pizza for the first time short while ago. They certainly are focusing making good pizza. They just opened a small event venue in the basement.

I'm not talking a business venture. Just a field (the greenway, edge of town, etc) that is enclosed (keep the splattering paint limited) and the size of a football/soccer field and obstacles (haybails. Old farm equipment, few wooden walls) where people can get together to play. Cost is virtually zero....or the same as the white combines by speedway restaurant.....or 10x less than the new rocks in front of the Alerus. Right now if you and your friends live in GF and all have paintball guns. Where do you go to play? Cities do that will all sorts of other activities. They provide the venue. Players provide the rest: Baseball diamonds. Basketball courts. Tennis courts. Pickleball! Volleyball. Soccer fields. Ice hockey rinks. Disc golf course. I'm sure I'm forgetting some...

That would be cool. There's some really nice mountain biking trails 20 miles away at Turtle River State Park.

Paintball field. Cheap. One time cost. No maintenance. Why isn't this more of a thing? We have skateparks, dog parks, BMX track, Frisbee golf courses, numerous swimming pools, ice rinks. It's time for the city to build one.

Thus why I said $45k in my original post. Of course you can spend upwards as much as you'd like. $50k MSRP you're still getting for $45k.* *before the whole "Chip Shortage."

The most popular truck: F150. In the most popular trim: XLT...

This is the other half of Aldi's:

Went to Aldis today. Very "interesting" store. Not very large. Longer than wide. Doesn't feel like a typical grocery store. Feels like a large wide open Dollar General/small Cosco that focuses on food. I don't think I'll find myself shopping there much.

The name is Helix Wine and Bites.

Maybe after construction has started they'll "rescale" is back up like the hospital.

Just walked into Firehouse subs. One person eating. Six people waiting for food. Went pretty fast though. The issue nowadays is restaurants they don't look busy but half of them are Doordash drivers waiting on a order from a frat house. Thought I read something like 70% of Taco Bell is served through the drive thru.

This team appears average at best.

Newest Grand Sky building and a future one.

Its not the best but "making the playoffs two out of the last three years" doesn't scream new coach. But there's plenty of work left to do. Winning a playoff game. And being more consistent year to year.

Tommy finally started to get more comfortable running. Hopefully next year he continues right where he left off.

"Not taking a timeout" is pretty far down there on my list of complaints this season.

Bubba's first "full year" in the Valley. Team: B- Bubba: C

Hate to be a little optimistic. But they weren't that far off this year from being a top tier team.

Still can't believe the bad snaps the whole year. Consistently bad. Has to throw Tommy's timing off.

Good game. As I mentioned earlier every game in the valley is a battle. Usually comes down to home field advantage.

Only took the coaches all year to figure out one yard is a Q QB sneak all day every day.

I mean...it is a coffee shop afterall.

Sounds like the players helping solve the problem. Not make it worse.
