The dreaded 22 or worse, 24 pointer š I used to play daily with my grandparents, great aunts & uncles. When grandpa went on oxygen full time I played every night with him for years. I miss those times.

Itās bizzaro world in my view at just how high the % of kids went to college and got worthless degrees. When I started my journey I was in my mid 20ās, so many of my younger years friends and peers chose college, now many of them are like dam your doing great. What they didnāt see was the drive, the commitment, the dedication to stick with it, learn from my mistakes and always push forward with field specific knowledge. It does eat up time, but the eye on the prize is what drove me to where I am at now. Something many of the young Iāve noticed severely lack.

I have often told the young if you arenāt looking at the trades, especially electrical, you have 0 room to bitch about money. Iām an E&I tech, Electrical and Instrumentation. The field is short staffed by up to 45%, and with my now 30 yrs or so in with experience on both installation and maintenance I can pretty much write my own ticket. Was it a long road of 6 or 7 days, 12 to 14 hrs a day most years? Yes it was, but the dividends its paid in the last 10 yrs is worth every drop of blood, sweat and toil put in. The ones young that get in now are the ones that will be thankful by 40-45 yrs old. edit: I should point out industrial electrician. I donāt do residential or commercial. Power plants, major industrial facilities, thatās where both the education and the money is. I paid my own way through the apprentice progam, today may be different, but $49k for my initial 5 yr apprenticeship.

Iāve played cribbage since I was 8/9 yrs old. I realize 8 or 9 is a ripe old age, but at 55 I guess Iām a fossil now š by the way, 15 for 2, 15 for 4 and a double run for 8 = 12 points for the hand. Watchāya got? š

Hourly ya, OT. grossing 140 to 150 a year. Itās a sacrifice to be sure.

Ya, we play them all. Since mom passed 2 years ago+ and me and my 2 siblings are working 50 to 60+ hrs a week to really drive on those 401kās in our final stretch before retirement itās rough tough to be there as often as weād like. Hell most weeks Iām at 65+ hrs, and at 55 yrs old Iām dragging ass. I was thinking something that can keep his mind working.

Hey all, I have a 77 yr old stepdad whoās been at Gates Cardio/Buf Gen for 7 months now. Heās due home the 18th. Had a pacemaker installed, triple bypass, cow valve installed on heart. He fought an infection for 5 months. My step brother, his bio son tells me he plays games on his phone most days. Iād like to get him a gaming system for home, heās a huge outdoor sportsman. If any of you graduated from sweet home school district in the last 30 years, you know him, and probably loved him. He was known as Mr. K. Otherwise known as Mr. Kokanovich. He was an art teacher and the football coach. in any event, I need an elderly friendly game system for him, preferably with hunting or fishing games that are fantastic. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It doesnāt matter who we bring up. Until the mngt and coaching staff are cleaned out this culture will not begin to change. Most of these players wonāt be Sabres anymore by the time those changes occur, if they occur. The best a player drafted by the Sabres can hope for right now is to ride out the rights time or flat out demand to be moved. These players careers are stuck in purgatory while they wear a Sabres uniform as of now.
