Its been raining 2 straight days, my entire yard is a lake.

In other random news I decided to play minecraft again yesterday. gonna make a base on a hill by a desert/plains biome. found a zombie spawner literally 50 blocks outside the front door. there are also donkeys in the plains and llamas or whatever a little bit away. also a village in the desert. could be the best start location i have had.

Played a game of Geoguessr just now, Russia screwed me again. Only got 1k points for it, guessed the location was about halfway between Ukraine and Kazakhstan but it was halfway between Kazakhstan and Mongolia.

Almost nailed locations in Finland, Turkey, Romania and if i followed the road more would've nailed France too. Would've beaten my personal best score if i had somewhere else but Asian Russia

do you click up/down roads for a better veiw of a sign or around a corner, or is that cheating. i made my dept play this game w/ me a few years ago. i was def clicking u/down roads.

you can move wherever it allows you to go. but when putting down your guess on the map, the original location is where it looks at for your score not where ever you ended up.

what is your high score?

Speaking of my high score, i just set it 23,424.

Highlights:
I remembered D12 highway in France from another game(AKA the Dwight road)
Somehow knew the location of Tore, Sweden. Never had it before, but i guess i just remembered seeing it while looking for other places.
Found a BC 18wheeler in Mexico, thought it was in BC but the Spanish threw me off. Guessed the Northern Baja California area and was almost perfect (almost the exact same longitude , just on the opposite coast)
Probably just had my best non-random guess Brazil guess.
And to cap it off, got a 4999 score in Iowa. Was literally on the exact road like 150 yards away.

If you mean individual round score, I have got 5000 a few times. The first was in Japan, the last was in Nevada I think.

EDIT: New Highscore. 24,218

25000 is the max, right? 24500 is insane.

No idea how, but i somehow managed to make 35 FT's in a row today. That is easily the best i have ever done, usually around 70%.

Nice! I haven't taken time to shoot a long series of free throws in a while, but reading this gave me a sudden urge to sprint to the gym lol. If I beat your streak I'll report back :wink:

my record is a measly 11, which I did like 5 years ago :lol:

I took 20 FTs at the Y last time I went and made 10. I proceeded to take 20 threes after that and also made 10. idk why FTs are tough but they are. It's not like I'm a muscle bound freak like Dwight who can't shoot softly enough- I weigh 145 pounds, I just suck at them.

The weirdest thing is i just started shooting again about two weeks ago and only shot maybe 5 days total, due to the place where my hoop is becoming a mud pit (rain, as a mentioned earlier this page). I did next to no shooting the entire winter, it usually takes a while to find my shot again so this weird hot streak to start is super weird. this was also the first day of actually shooting FT's, the other days were just jumpshots.

JDR, do you have a dirt bball court? love it.

people should post pics of their home bball courts, whether its driveway, gym, park etc...

Finally made it out to the gym yesterday and only managed to rattle off 19 free throws in a row before I lost interest lol. Johnny O'Bryant was working out with a couple other people yesterday while I was there, I forgot to snap a picture before I left though

This was on campus at UNCC, he was in there with Torin Dorn also. There's an NBA shooting coach, lethal shooter, (no idea what his real name is lol) that is always training here idk if he had something to do with them or not.

Side note, JOB is a **** mountain when you're standing right next to him holy hell
