Thoughts on the NCAA National Championship

April 3, 2007 in sports with 0 Comments

Couple of random thoughts about the NCAA National Championship:

  1. Joakim Noah is annoying — even when he’s on the bench in foul trouble.   He has “NBA bust” written all over him.
  2. All of   Ohio State’s   3-pointer attempts were flat — which tells me that they were fatigued.
  3. Horford or Oden would look awesome in a Bucks uni.
  4. Even a half-time cameo of Dick Enberg is too much for me.   He was good when I was a kid — and only during the Olympics and Tennis.   Just retire, Dick.
  5. I accomplished my goal of finishing in the top 5 in my work Yahoo Tournament pool.   It’s about time, because the yearly tournament was having a negative impact on my Yahoo Fantasy Profile rating.   Gotta keep that up.   I did better this year because I didn’t pick Kansas over UCLA like I wanted to.   It was hard to deny the Kansas fan in me, but such is the life of a fantasy sports guy.
  6. I can pretty much guarantee that I’m not going to root for Florida anytime soon.   I don’t like the attitude that Brewer and Richard play with and I already mentioned that I’m not a Joakim Noah fan already.

Spriglet #4: Windshield Wiper Rotation

If you’ve ever seen my car, you’d know that it’s not something that I obsess over at all.   In fact quite the contrary — I don’t care about it that much.   It gets me from here to there.   It’s not pretty but it’s functional.

I try to invest in it as little as possible.   There’s more important things to spend money on, IMO.

So, anyway…I found a way to make my windshield wipers last longer than recommended (every 6 months).   When they start skidding across the windshield, I stop (usually at the gas station) and take them off and 1) switch the right and the left and 2) flip them over so that the end that’s on the top is now on the bottom.

Turning off your car when the wiper blades are upright makes them a little easier to change.

Worked like a champ in the torrential downpour on the way to work this morning.   Voila!   No skidding.
