Onside kick percentages are tricky, though.  In tinkering around and researching for the game I'm making, only NFL data is available - but when an onside is unexpected, it nears a 50% success rate.  When it's the usual late-game, obvious onside-kick opportunity, the percentage is down below 15.  

Even if the team that just scored has the 'kick or go for it' option, the element of surprise is gone.
Considering that it is that high, it is surprising that teams don't do it more often although I imagine that you would run into diminishing returns fairly quickly.  That said, even the diminishing returns would, at least in theory, have an advantage.  If I were an NFL coach and I frequently and randomly went for onside kicks my opposition would probably respond by changing up their return alignment and personnel to guard against my frequent and random onside kick attempts.  That should degrade their ability to return my non-onside kicks.

Closing yesterday went well, no hiccups fortunately.  I unloaded the rented minivan and we headed back today to learn the movers are coming tomorrow at 0800 and the wife is panicking, Morty.

I'm drinking gin and posting on the Interwebz.

It rained most of the drive back, yuck.  We will officially change residence around May 1.

I've taken a liking to Uncle Val's Botanical Gin, and also Hendrick's.

I'm in. I'll get it tomorrow.

We need to get together. And cook. And drink.

Boat is going in the water Friday. I think The Lake is thawed.

Give me some dates when you'll be passing through and we'll make it happen. Plenty of room for your family in the vessel, so long as the girls don't mind sleeping on a couch. If not, there's the hotel in town.

It would be good to lawyer and doctor up the dock. Too many engineers for my liking.

Tanqueray Ten.
And you can fly your butt up here too. Then you can take me out flying and let me take the controls.

Everyone is doing it. Bottle to throttle in 12.

Badge,

I need to examine the kids schedule (camps, nanny, etc.) One week, I'm taking one to a camp 'up north' in Wisconsin, i'm pretty sure that's mid/late June.  I know we're coming up for a friend's wedding in Aug.  I'll email you if the dates add up.  I'm pretty sure I could do a solo run one of those days. (likely in mid/late June).  I'm staying up in MKE in the event my daughter and her friend 'freak out' up at camp (I highly doubt it).

For not much money, you can get an instructor to take your flying and you will fly a lot more than you would with me (and I'm not current anyway).  They offer "intro flights" to get folks hooked (they hope).  Then it would run about $120 an hour? and $30 for the CFI.

I've thought long and hard about getting a license. It's about $10K or so to get it, plus more if you want higher ratings. Then joining a club, etc. I'm not buying a plane.

With the boat habit and retirement in sight, I'm not sure it's worth it at this point in my life. It's so much fun though.

Same here.  I don't frequently go there, but if I do, that's where I go
