I can't do this anymore

The bad news:  we had a severe cold snap over the weekend that froze up my automatic waterers for the horses.  I set about figuring out the problem, which I thought was a GFCI breaker.  
As I was texting my electrician back and forth during the first half of the game, he suggested that it was usually the actual heating element, which was an easier fix.

After Max's first interception, I left to go get the replacement part from the local farm & ranch supply store.
I'm glad I did not wait.  So I didn't see the second half live.  Thankfully.

The Good news: I spent the rest of the afternoon fixing the automatic waterer.  
My horses are happy and well watered now.  

But I cannot do this anymore...not for a while.
I can only afford to take a peek with one eye to maybe check a score or stats.  This is just not fun.

The wheels have fallen off this wagon. 
I had believed that he could not do worse than JJM.  He did. 
I felt bad for Max.  I feel bad for now departing Adam Thielen.
I gotta take a break.

I am happy that I still have a college football team to root for (FCS playoffs...go Griz).

I acknowledge that I lived in Colorado for ten years and went to multiple Bronco games and my daughter and her family are avid Bronco fans (with the Vikings as #2 with a nod to me).  And I can pull for Bo Nix who I had loudly advocated here during last year's draft.

But I just can't do this anymore.  I like y'all, and will likely take a peek back here from time to time, but my head hurts from banging it against a brick wall.

Out of the 4 Minnesota franchises I believe the Timberwolves and Wild are closer to getting to a finals than the Twins and Vikings. The last finals were the Twins in 1991 then the Twins again in 1987, and then the Vikings in 1976.

That can change in the blink of an eye....

Last year to this years Vikings is a perfect case in point.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Actually you are leaving out the two most recently successful franchises and the ones most likely to win the next championship the Lynx and the Frost (women's hockey).  If you really want a winner, hop on the Frost bandwagon who have won back to back championships in the first two seasons of the league.

Women's hockey?  

I have other things to do if I want to waste time.
