  1. Hopefully we can get back on track. Been a rough few games recently.
  2. Yeah I was listening to an interview with a local official and he said they just don't know how many people were in the area visiting, so it's almost impossible to determine how many may be missing. Heartbreaking.
  3. This is shear lunacy. What have we become?
  4. I struggle with you being cool and a Trojan at the same time. Kidding as I of course have literally dozens of good Trojan friends. But damn that’s some awesome boating and fishing. At 58, these are the great moments. I want to do a fishing trip to Alaska with my son.
  5. So had our first weekend with just me and the wife this weekend on the boat since our kids. But we did a bunch of Catalina before we had kids 21 years ago. And it was great. We’re going to do more of this. But put her on the ferry home today. And just chilled solo and caught a bunch of fish off the side of the boat with a little 4lb spinner. Great weekend. Except for two things- the awfulness that occurred in the Texas hill country. Breaks my heart. And the Astros sweeping the Dodgers.
  6. And I should mention I put my wife on the ferry at 2p today and am just cold chillin. Moving to the boating thread.
  7. Was certainly targeting bigger fish and hoped to get some keeper calico bass and hopefully a yellowtail. But it wasn’t to be. Fished all over both trolling a rapala and just got hounded by mackerel. Caught a couple short calicos on the plastic (see attached). But when I’m bored on the boat, I throw a 4lb test spinner over the side and typically get little pinners. And that happened again. Did get a whitefish once on the tiny spinner that my boy and I added to a fat calico we caught and made good fish tacos. But this sheephead was my fattest fish I got to the boat when I was just fucking around. I knew if I tried to boat it on 4 lb test the line wouldn’t be able to lift it out. But I didn’t want gaff hi: because I have no interest in boating one fish to filet. But they are really tasty. Look at those teeth. They scour the sand and rocks for crustaceans. And they taste like crab. And they are a super weird fish. All sheephead are born female, and as they age (like this guy) they turn male.
  8. I was a little out of touch the last few days and was aware of the tragedy but had no idea the scale. As someone whose community experienced widespread devastation earlier this year, my heart is with any and all of you affected, either personally or tangentially. Will be tracking these donations sites. Bob Lives! donation site was stop number one.
  9. Still only counts as one loss. Next game.
  10. When I'm bored I throw a 4 lb test line over with some squid. It's the most successful fishing I get.
  11. It looks bad. He may be done.
  12. I’m not gonna dirty up the fishing thread with these shitty macks. They were just gobbling up the rapala. Couldn’t get on the calicos.
  13. If Kershaw throws 3,000 strikeouts tonight (he’s 3 away), that’s a huge accomplishment.
  14. Couldn't sleep so left the dock at 5:40 am. Glad I did. Already packed here at Isthmus Cove. But got Old Glory up for the holiday weekend. Despite where we are as a country, watching her wave in the sea breeze will always bring a tear to my eye. Maybe more so now. O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
  15. Ha, the White Sox are 121.5 games behind the Dodgers since 2023.
  16. So this guy who’s supposed to be pretty good just hit another. We have yet to get meaningful innings from him on the mound, but he’s so gotdam good at the plate anything else is gravy.
  17. Ayton is apparently a cancer. I hated him at UofA, so fuck him. But we can’t sign some reclamation project hoping that will be the difference. Ayton isn’t going to put the Lakers in contention
  18. He opted in. It wasn’t their choice. But they clearly told him if you don’t opt in we aren’t signing you to a 2 year deal. That’s why Rich Paul floated the “Le Bron is moni advantage of The Lakers moves.” He wanted a 2 year deal and the new Lakers regime said get fucked. LBJ honestly thinks he has the leverage he had 10 years ago. The Lakers would’ve been delighted if he didn’t re-sign. But it may be ideal he opts in and gets someone like Cleveland, with assets and so close to being championship caliber, that may be willing to deal. The Lakers wouldn’t need too much. One first would be enough. It would be a shitty pick. It’s just how do you make the money work?
  19. Island bound in the am. Will be solo until Friday afternoon when the wife comes out. First time just the two of us were alone aboard out there since we were borrowing my buddy's Catalina 36 (exact same year version and we did it 3-4 times- we were out there on 9/11). Hope we can rekindle some young lust. But 2 full days solo should be fun. Hope to also be posting in the fishing thread. That's gonna be my focus for the next 2 days.
  20. Watched the first episode. Didn't grab me, but will keep going.
  21. They do believe some really weird shit.
  22. I just heard on the radio that Shohei's English is pretty good, but the reason he does his interviews in Japanese is because the Japanese TV audience is so huge they want to hear it in Japanese. Makes sense. I've heard him speak English and it isn't that bad.
  23. Watched the Cobra at Dodger Stadium more than once. He was so good. He and Stargell were a brutal 1-2

    Getting old sucks

    Yes, and that’s what’s happening. The optometrist said the vision disparity in the 2 eyes is too great to wear glasses. Not until September though
  25. He is completely immune to consequences.
