Personal Story: Preparing for Sunday's Game w/ an Impending Ice Storm

Why is that I think sometimes we here want to the Fins to succeed more than the players do? LOL.

I figured some of you guys would appreciate this...

Where I live here in Maine, there is an impending ice storm on the way for Sunday. I refuse to miss Fins games under any conditions. Whether they are preseason or regular season games, I will miss family gatherings, cancel appointments or call in sick in order to not to miss a Dolphins game. I have not missed a football Sunday since I was in college.

That brings me to this weekend. Weather can always threaten a football Sunday. There is about .50 inches of predicted ice on the way. It starts Sunday morning and it goes through the afternoon to about 5pm.

I have taken all of the following precautions so not to miss the Dolphins/Bills game:

I have two de-icing products for the dish. One shoots further, but the other can still hit the dish, but "prevents" re-freezing. I am going to climb out my man room window, on to the porch....in an ice storm mind you...and spray that thing so not to lose reception.

If my dish does become incapacitated, I then have to go to my Field Pass subscription. While I cannot stand him, I might have to go to the Jimmy Cefalo call.

If we lose power, I have three, count them, three laptops charged plus an iPad ready to go along with a charged cell phone, mobile Hot Spot to attempt to listen to the game.

If the cell runs out of juice, the car has a full tank of gas in which I can charge the phone while the hot spot works, while giving me the juice for the radio broadcast.

If none of that stuff works, I will go into work where there is an emergency generator that I could see the local game (Texans and Broncos) and listen to Cefalo.

You can accuse me of a lot of things, but not being dedicated to the Dolphins is not one of them.

PM me for a stream site that's never failed me yet. I used it to watch the Pats/Dolphins game in the backseat of a car between Austin and Dallas.
 
Ah the Maine ice storms...I remember them fondly from my college days up there. Good luck up there tomorrow bud, hopefully L-A won't get hit too bad.

Lol...I always assumed you lived in Minnesota (due to your screen name).

Seriously tho, good luck with the elements. Here's hoping you won't have to go past Plan E

My wife's friend was looking at wedding dates. I suggested the summer in large part because there is no interference with Dolphins games. She said she liked the fall. I replied, "well, don't pick a date in the fall on a Sunday. She laughed and said, "yeah right"...

I was dead serious. My wife would go by herself. I will remember a Fins game a lot longer than someone's wedding.

I knew I was blessed when my wife picked a Sept wedding date and when the schedule came out, IT WAS A BYE WEEK! I sent an invitation to Marino but unfortunately he didn't show. I didn't hold it against him and went to his HOF ceremony.
 
Hey Hayden...I missed your write up about the game last week.... did u skip a week?

This is total greatness, the ice threat worries me, because now the least talented team has a chance to win. Tomorrow's game is a must win game.

Thats how its done my man. Nice job out of you.

I get sick of these clowns posting about how they are taking vacations or have some kind of thing to do where they miss the game. Ridiculous. People talking about they were driving in their car and trying to watch on a cell phone..... GET REAL.

Real fans are like Hayden. They are either at the stadium or in the living room ready to roll and have all emergency plans checked and ready.
