So Mr. Wino and I are taking a little staycation next week. Don't have the money to do the whole vacation thing..so I was looking into great day trips and came across the Mile High Swinging Bridge up in G'father Mt....what else is pretty cool to see or do up there that would be worth the trip up the mountain?

Grandfather mountain is not bad for a few hours. In addition to the bridge, they have a small zoo with Cougars and Bears and a few other animals. There are a few other things to do in the area. There are some mild whitewater rafting trips on the Watuaga River, and they have an outdoor play/drama in Boone called Horn in the West, about Daniel Boone. There are some decent restaurants with ABC permits in Blowing Rock.

Boone also has ABC permits now if you weren't aware, and as such has had a bigger influx of fine dining.

Yea I knew. I prefer Blowing Rock over Boone though, at least when App State is in session. Its less crowded.

Last time I was in Blowing Rock, we ate at a little place that was literally on the side of a Mountain a few miles from Tweetsie Railroad. Best Pecan Trout I ever had. Can't remember the name of it though.

Probably Canyons.

    • It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
    • Sign him up. I am willing to bet he wouldn't finish a game with -2 yards.
    • He is just fuging limited in every way.  On one hand, and nfl player, you would want to bulk them up so long as it doesn’t limit their mobility, elasticity, flexibility, ROM, or dynamicism - as is the concern with bulking up.  But the issue with that is, you would be worried about that when a guy has those traits to begin with.  Bryce is a very average athlete with a weak arm.  So if you’re not gonna be a great athlete with a strong arm, bulk up.  And if you can’t or won’t bulk up, find another fuging profession that doesn’t require athleticism and arm strength.  You’re built like a bitch AND aren’t a great athlete - you can’t be subpar in both categories…  well, unless you play for the Panthers apparently.
