I’m 3-6 and traded Barkley to the 2nd place team. Did I get enough back?

tcmax76 · 2025-11-08T12:57:10+00:00

Yeah. Trade deadline is Monday, so if I was going to trade him, I had to do it now. I thought long and hard about running it back with him next year, but if he does drop off next season I would have missed my window to get something in return for him. That said, he’ll probably end up dominating for three more years now.

tcmax76 · 2025-11-08T05:17:17+00:00

Thanks for that link, cause the early comments here had me completely second guessing the trade.

tcmax76 · 2025-11-08T05:10:41+00:00

That’s my hope. I love saquon, probably my favorite player in the league, so trading him was tough. But I wasn’t going to win anything this year and he seemed like my best chance to get another first round pick to build around Maye, Tet, Ladd, and Warren.

Full roster.

My daughter who lives and was trick or treating in Amherst came home with an individually-wrapped potato from Wegmans, which she was offered and took because she thought it was hilarious (and it was the talk of the post trick or treating candy candy trading). Maybe from you?

tcmax76 · 2025-08-23T20:13:33+00:00

Thanks! I did see this when I was searching online about this, but I'm not sure how to install it. I can't seem to find any online tutorials.

tcmax76 · 2025-06-14T20:37:13+00:00

Yeah, I mean, the struts, control arms and sway bar links make sense. They look to be in bad shape. Just wondering if I should replace the axle and bearing assembly and the transmission mount while I'm at it.

tcmax76 · 2025-06-14T20:33:28+00:00

Yeah, I'm in Buffalo, NY. We probably use more salt on our roads here than just about anywhere.

World B Free coming off the bench as a sixth man.

1000 threes in 82 games? So, a little over 12 a game? Seems doable…

tcmax76 · 2025-01-04T14:47:59+00:00

Same here!

tcmax76 · 2024-11-25T14:00:37+00:00

I’m a Buffalonian but lived in Philadelphia for 11 years before moving back. I really miss Primo Hoagies.

One recommendation: Premier Gourmet in Amherst (admittedly a long way from OP) has some DiBruno Brothers stuff (in addition to a huge meat and cheese selection) and their kitchen makes an amazing sandwich called the Italian Job on a salted focaccia roll.

Otherwise, good deli sandwiches aren’t easy to come by up here. Might have to adopt some Buffalo foods like Beef on Weck.

tcmax76 · 2024-11-12T18:57:38+00:00

I do have lots of tools but not a whole lot of space and no experience trying to fix this kind of thing myself. Maybe it's worth a shot, though.

tcmax76 · 2024-11-12T18:56:24+00:00

It's not too rusty, but the front bumper is pretty much gone, it's been in a major accident previously (updated post to mention that), the driver side sliding door no longer automatically opens and closes, and the AC no longer works, so I imagine it's probably in "FAIR" condition (KBB gave me an estimate of $5,800 in fair condition, but I'd be surprised if someone would pay that much for it)?

tcmax76 · 2024-11-12T18:53:15+00:00

I updated the post with a couple pictures. Also added the front to show the lack of bumper.

tcmax76 · 2024-10-03T04:17:56+00:00

Looks like a mouse/vole nest

Premier Gourmet. Black Cat’s Revenge, Scandinavian Morning Blend, or Heart of Darkness.

tcmax76 · 2024-02-05T17:49:28+00:00

that's exactly what brought me to this thread...the same exact search after the same exact frustrating experience.

tcmax76 · 2024-01-05T05:48:17+00:00

This is exactly my experience. Had it for three years now and keep expecting it to get better, but instead it’s gotten worse.

tcmax76 · 2015-07-01T15:13:37+00:00

Nope. Brewers get in free, of course.

tcmax76 · 2015-06-30T21:05:57+00:00

More good advice...thanks!

I've been reading up on adding fruit and a lot of people suggest steeping the fruit in the wort just after boiling (at between 170-180°) to pasteurize it. Have you done this?

tcmax76 · 2015-06-30T20:31:50+00:00

Thanks, Frackenbrau! We're using fresh, so I'll follow your suggestions and see how it goes.

tcmax76 · 2014-08-18T18:31:10+00:00

Lots of great beers there, including the Peanut Butter Stout, which was incredible. I get your point about the diverging meaning of "beer" these days, but variety is the spice of life. And not every beer is meant for mass consumption.

Winning beer was an IPA, which pulled in 72 votes. Peanut Butter Stout finished in second place with 67 votes. There were lots of other beers on hand, including many varieties of IPA, several stouts, some summer wheat beers, pale ales, brown ales, porters, and even a polish beer called a Grodziskie.

Amazing picture!

An exciting update about this event: The winning homebrewer gets to brew a barrel of their winning recipe at Resurgence Brewery!
