I might lurk here a little if major news like Herbert or Spanii maybe forced to sell team, but that's it. A few years back I got ripped by QSmokey I think it was for saying San Diego got turned into a shithole and then Hep A began the real downturn. Best decision I ever made was getting out.
    I probably said, none too nicely, that it would be best for you to move away. Which you did. And, years later, I did. To Idaho. So you get the last laugh. :hello:

      Now now, you two are two of my favorite people in Chargerdom! I have attended NUMEROUS games with both of you, gotten rides to and from the airport, hotels, bars, stadium P3, etc. and even stayed at one of your home's the night before a game. Actual friend shit...and so I just can't have you two bickering. I am an awesome person and so I know good people when I see them and you both are good people. So there...knock it off! :beer:

        yep, I was way ahead of the curve! LOL. We actually considered Nampa at 1 point. Glad we didn't as it seems that whole area has had a huge runup in home prices due to flood of Bay Area people bailing out to cheaper and less urban living. Luckily this area has remained much the same in attributes that were appealing to us and population not exploding while still remaining extremely affordable for us younger retirees.

          Yes, home prices have skyrocketed. Much to the chagrin of the long-time residents. Can't really blame them. We moved up here because our kids - and now grandkids - are here, and we really like it. Great hiking; easy-to-find solitude. Pretty. And we purchased our home before the spike. Things (gas, utilities, water) are still much cheaper and, compared to CA, much less crowded. Hell, the entire state has only 1.8 million people - less then the population of San Diego (city). But I do understand the resentment.

              Hey Q,

              It’s great to hear from you. Yep. I’m still in Tokyo. I quit my university job about five years ago. Had some trouble with a British asshole and figured that I’d best move on. The desire to give him a forearm blast to the mouth was overwhelming.

              I became the CEO of my company. We got hit pretty hard with shutdowns due to COVID, but coming back this year.

              My wife loves to spend the moolah so I probably won’t retire till I’m 80!

              Cheers

                You mentioned OIP, where is he now? For some reason I missed the story of why/how he left? I miss that grumpy s.o.b and talking music with him.

                Q...IS THAT YOU?? Best thing I have seen all morning! Damn Fleet, I'm with Q, when I read that Covid took out Aces, my heart sank! Oh shit! I guess I am sort of glad it my have just been the Casino. I sincerely hope he is well. Aces makes me think of the old P3 gang: SDFan (I know you're here Paul), Mad Dog, VB, Texas, etc...(I know I am forgetting a few...Ace's buddy and his melted fork?).

Im starting to think its an old timer. Ill let him chime in....but i think its the same name from the past we are used to. Benjee68
                        Salient Point was his company. I don’t know how the hell I remember that.

                          Sometimes I miss those days. Post a lot, take care of my 3 children at home. Get into stupid arguments. Walk the dog. Sleep very little.

                          Adulting isnt as fun. School shootings with my sons impacted, suicide, children with depression, gender issues, anxiety...But yet, still little sleep.

                          Bolts board kinda takes second fiddle. I just got rid of Sunday Tix and Redzone.

                          Going back to reading boxscores.
