Hello again:
Twitter has become a solid source for news and sports for me. I set up following for several local TV stations. Then I picked up on several different reporters from several different news sources. Add to that sports through the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLS, NHL, and a couple of local teams and you have news coming in constantly. I also follow several writers as I am aspiring to be one. Also following many other people as well.
The moment something happens there is a tweet about it and I have it. One of the best ones I follow is called Weather Underground. If there is any bad weather they tweet it up quickly. It is one way to keep on top of the local weather scene. Talk about keeping on top of the weather. Local weather station WCCO just posted there is a severe thunderstorm warning for Meeker and Wright Counties in Minnesota.
You can turn your twitter account into a family and friends connections or you and add in a little news and keep up with what is happening around you outside the little world we all set up.
Until next time... Keep Tweeting...

Minnesota Sports Update
Here is a quick update on some of the Minnesota Professional Sports Scene.
The Mn Lynx WNBA team is 13-2 and trying for a repeat championship. They play again today at 2:00 pm central.
The Mn Wild NHL team has pulled off the free agency coup of the year, in acquiring both Zach Parise and Ryan Suter for the next 10 years plus, they have also added a few others so this could turn things around. They have not been in the playoffs the past 4 years. Could this be the year they return? This will make them a team to be reckoned with for the next few years.
The Mn Vikings NFL team has made big acquisitions themselves in getting Matt Kalil and several others to help turn their team around this year. Peterson is getting healthy after his knee surgery, as is Harvin, add to that what I consider the best draft / free agency in the past 5 years. The Vikes are looking to surprise people this year. Could we be back to a point in the NFL North where we are strong contenders? Now add all this new talent to the fact that they will be playing in a new stadium in 2016. Things may finally be looking up for the Minnesota Vikings.
The owner of the Vikings says he interested in bringing an MLS profession Soccer team to Minnesota. That would be a good thing for Minnesota when you consider all the colleges in the state that have soccer teams. Here's my question to them. Is it possible to field a team where most if not all the players are from the Minnesota Collegiate Soccer system? How potent a team would that team be against the kind of talent the MLS currently has?
Until next time....

I'm Back
Hello again. Sorry I have not posted in awhile but I have been very busy. Several wood projects have come my way. In the last couple of months I have built an under bed / study zone for my daughter, a queen sized bed for myself, and if that weren't enough I have been doing some small engine work.
Projects and pic to follow.
Until later....
