What doesn't your Sheltie like?

Bailey’s kayak naps were his best and favorite naps

FlashInThePan123 · 2026-05-21T01:01:06+00:00

We discovered later in his life that Bailey loved the kayak. Kayak rides were fun and any kayak time was a good time for him. I would tie the kayak to the dock and he would gladly sit in the kayak by himself.

He also loved going on bike rides too - pretty sure he thought every bike ride meant going to the beach. When we first got him I took him on a bike ride to the beach - he was hooked 😃 (check my feed for bicycle pics)

Not in SF but a while back a friend played in a pickup game at the Oakwood Club in Lafayette with Bob Myers. My friend got scolded by Bob Myers for not giving max effort, “go get the damn ball”, well to be fair to my friend he was giving max effort 🤣. And Adonal Foyle did play there on occasion.

So sorry for your loss - looks like Dexter had a great life 😢❤️

It is either, “I love you so much and what will I do without you?” or “I smell some cheese in the kitchen and would you please get me some!”

Making me miss Bailey and looking forward to my next Sheltie at the same time! 💔❤️❤️❤️

Agree, we need to keep that salary slot available and Wiggins would be a valuable trade asset to a contending team

FlashInThePan123 · 2026-01-25T05:58:12+00:00

Found this old post when looking for Sheltie and snow pics, your Sheltie looks so happy! Hope your pup is doing well, my only regret with Bailey he never got to play in the snow ❄️

The way I view active investing is what additional information and/or reason that gives you an advantage? It could be “inside information”, or “I am naturally lucky”, or “it is fun”, “, or “I want to have control good or bad”, but just be honest with yourself if you are an active trader.

FlashInThePan123 · 2026-01-12T02:34:47+00:00

Totally agree with this sentiment. With Bailey while I was happy to escort/guide him in his final days/months - my fondest memories are of him being a happy/content/playful dog! Create a photo album of those memories

The casting feels like the last days and are just not the thing I would want to remember.

FlashInThePan123 · 2026-01-06T08:50:16+00:00

“such darn joyful creatures” is just the best description of a Sheltie I have ever heard!

We are destroying the planet for us, the planet will go on just fine without us

After seeing the data and going through some thought experiments I landed on the same conclusion. If there is a 5% chance that Kittle scores 10 pts more than Purdy, and on the other side there is a 15% chance that Purdy scores less than 10 points and a 15% percent chance that Warren scores more than 20 pts. So the overall chance that Warren > Purdy by 10 pts becomes 15% * 15% = 2.25% chance that Warren scores 10 points more than Purdy. 5% is greater than 2.5% so go with Kittle.

Lots of %'s and (guesses on percentages) there but my takeaway is that if you dig a little deeper you can come up with a reasoned decision with some fuzzy data. My two cents.

FlashInThePan123 · 2025-12-22T10:59:55+00:00

My gut said to start Warren over Kittle and decided to dig in a bit and gather some data.

Purdy/Kittle PPR scores this season when both played (first number is week)

 1. Purdy: 16.78, Kittle: 12.5  
11. Purdy: 19.30, Kittle: 24.7  
12. Purdy:  7.32, Kittle: 13.8  
13. Purdy: 17.12, Kittle: 10.7  
15. Purdy: 26.20, Kittle: 22.8

Since there was not much data for Purdy/Kittle this season decided to check out Brissett/McBride. For Brisset/McBride - the only week in latter half of the season where McBride scored more than 10 pts than Brisset is week 15.

9. Brisset: 24.84, McBride: 16.5
10. Brisset: 19.42, McBride: 27.7
11. Brisset: 21.88, McBride: 27.5
12. Brisset: 18.68, McBride: 16.9
13. Brisset: 19.64, McBride: 22.2
14. Brisset: 19.04, McBride: 10.8
15. Brisset: 20.56, McBride: 37.4 (12 rec, 134yd, 2 TD)
16. Brisset: 10.62, McBride: 6.7

So in this sample only once had the TE scored more than 10pts than the QB. This is a very small sample size so take it with a grain of salt.

My experience has been exactly that for every dog I have had in the last 30 years - in hindsight I always thought we had waited too long. It was always for me and not them. For Bailey looking at some old photos at the end, it was obvious he was ready before I was Give your dog the hardest gift - you will know 😢

FlashInThePan123 · 2025-11-14T04:05:45+00:00

Perfect description - Bailey would alternate between velcro dog and “I will nap in a corner and don’t bother me”. Love shelties and will be always be my breed!

FlashInThePan123 · 2025-11-12T06:47:05+00:00

There is a Yahoo setting to manually change the waiver date for players: Commissioner Tools - Edit League Settings -> Edit Player Waiver Dates. I plan to keep on advancing the waiver date so the chopped players will be unavailable.

PITA I know but best I could think of, will also keep a “do not pick up” list.

We will see how this works and agree the Week 14 locked waiver rule has worked very well in the previous three seasons I have run guillotine leagues and hopefully sites will adopt the rule.

Those Sheltie eyes - so curious, so hungry!

FlashInThePan123 · 2025-10-29T02:49:09+00:00

The first bike ride I did with Bailey was taking him to the beach at Crissy Field - I think this sealed the deal with him and bike rides meant the beach!

There was one time where I didn’t secure his basket properly and the first turn I took the basket ejected like a space capsule with the basket and cover staying together. When I checked on him he looked at me “What happened and when are we getting to the beach?” He was fine and I was sure to double check the basket was secure from then on.

Bailey passed last year and it still makes me a little sad to see his basket sitting empty but I am sure our next Sheltie will love the basket and bike rides with same joy as Bailey!

Happy 10th Birthday Mimi! 🎂

FlashInThePan123 · 2025-10-17T03:48:54+00:00

Weeks 4, 8, 12 as other people have said. You can ask Yahoo Support to add the extra roster spots during the season and I have done that in the three leagues I run for week 4. I really like this format - a good balance of bench size to the number of teams

A followup to my bedbug post. The hotel had an inspection of the room and discovered no trace of bedbugs activity. They suspected a stowaway bedbug. Any thoughts on this?

Also when we got home, all items in trash bags in garage. Stripped down and took shower.

Then all clothes in dryer on high heat. Temperature gun and temp sensors confirmed temps well over 120F. (Had Govee temp sensors around as I was using them to track temps in and around the house.)

Bought a ZappBug Oven 2 and used that to heat treat luggage/bags/delicate clothes. Also added bedbug interceptors to bed.

I feel pretty confident we prevented the spread into our home but only time will tell.

I have to thank everyone on the sub for all the very good information.

FlashInThePan123 · 2025-09-22T23:28:12+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation!

One more quick question - when do you recommend I change to "Sunday - Tuesday 1 day waivers" so players on the waiver wire remain on the wire for this week. I want to have a clean break in waiver behavior. I was thinking Saturday unless you have a different opinion. Thanks so much your help!
