Air Apparent

Rediscovered this video earlier this morning. It was posted here shortly after the Dartmouth football office produced it more than a decade ago. Given this went on line for the first time 11 years ago, the statute of limitations must be up with regard to reposting something like this on this site, right? Enjoy:

The uniform countdown featuring the "Best Player Who Wears" (the number of days until the FCS season begins) features a Dartmouth opponent yet again:

Harboring dreams of Hanover Country Club one day reopening? Good luck.

I can't take credit for this link to equipment being auctioned off by Dartmouth College, which appeared first in the Upper Valley news aggregator Daybreak.

EXTRA POINT
It was more than a month ago that BGA Daily featured a note about work on our closest neighbor's new barn/garage. Work on the project began a couple of years ago when the concrete foundation went in but nothing more happened until soaring lumber prices finally came back down. Work resumed earlier this spring and a small crew has been working on the post-and-beam construction for a couple of months now.

Mrs. BGA makes a good point. If our neighbor had brought these guys in the barn would have been finished in 10 hours. (LINK)
