Mallette Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Any chance of getting a score? I am having to sit up late as a pump malfunction has my BG over 600 and I feel like poop. Flying VFR with a syringe to get it down. Would like to know the score in case I have a stroke while I wait... Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would management keep him playing is, perhaps, the most important question. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
