Hai

Didn’t watch tonight, but last night’s game was a classic IMO - Pretty solid battle until CP3 decided to slit their throats. Throw in the drama and it was entertaining, though the endless reviews and hilarious oversteps by officials are more tiresome than ever.

Our struggles mostly surround decisions impacting the home… I’m a “mover” and she’s a “planner”, meaning I can find what works almost instantaneously and have it executed at the earliest possible moment to a high degree of satisfaction. For her, satisfaction is driven by building a Pinterest board of every conceivable option and progressively winnowing that down to a decision somewhere between 4-12 weeks. These days, when I rarely take up the mantle of driving something for the house, I can walk her through the decision, but then must proceed to outline every minute detail and permutation for her to be on-board with the decision. Had a good one today, working with a contractor we’ve used before. He’s building a pair of doors under some outdoor stairs that she wants to hide the trash cans. He and I figured out design, dimensions, swing direction, hardware all in 5 minutes. Later, as I’m taking her through the design, she blows up at our decision to have one of the doors swing from a different direction than the other. When I explain that it’s a clearance issue and that with her way we wouldn’t be able to get the trash can out, I then have to measure and go through endless performative measures to show our work. “But what about this? Have you thought about that? And this thing, what if this happens?” JFC… Me doing anything simply isn’t worth the time savings.

In no particular order: - Denner - Proulx - Kinero Cellars - Halter Ranch - Herman Story - Peachy Canyon - Kenneth Volk - Turtle Rock - Tooth & Nail Kitchenette is worth a stop for breakfast, Spearhead for coffee and Les Petittes Canailles is one of the best meals I’ve had in the last 3 years. Only go to Daou for the view IMO - Their wine is insanely overrated and overpriced, but you can’t beat that view. If you can find any of Anthony Yount’s stuff (Kinero) be sure and buy/drink immediately.

I… had no idea this was a thing, but now I need to try it!

Threw a new band on the ‘77 and I’m loving it!

You might be able to snag at the distillery - Haven’t seen it on the shelf all that consistently.

We have plenty in these parts - Recommend flying to DC this fall and hitting up Bowman and Sagamore before a trek out to WV to see us stomp the couch burners.

Connected through on the way out to Palm Springs this past weekend and my LORD was McCaren a shit show. Just assholes to elbows with mouth breathers… what I imagine Circus Circus on a fight night resembles. The old man had a convention this past week and noted that it was “the worst Vegas crowd he’d see in 50 years.” Stay safe out there boys… seems like it’s 1 step removed from a zombie apocalypse!

Eh, the Clippers had one of those nights where they shot the lights out, and the stars for PHX had a down night. They’ve shown great difficulty in sustaining performances from PG over consecutive games, so I guess we’ll see. Shit, if LA wins this series I think they’ve earned a damn ring, and I can’t stand them.

Wow… fucking lucky

Push them through and let’s put this one in the books pot favor

Tits on a stick!

Fucking park one - Come on!!

Ok, let’s go please!

You feel like you can fix Simmons? Dude looks straight broken.

Was supposed to be at Jamahl’s wedding but I told my girl to hit the bricks a few weeks before. Anyway, he’s a SOLID guy, the players love him and I think he should get a shot in the search process. Not sure we’ll find much better.

Finally found my primary target: ‘77 Datejust Loved the formal leather band but couldn’t resist pairing with a Cascadia

Seemed like a Flag 1 to me… the nose contact was clearly incidental, and it’s a pretty soft call against the MVP for an elimination game. The windup made it look much more threatening than it actually was… I don’t think he was looking to hurt anyone.

I’m all for one less trumper in San Clemente, but JFC that’s a terrible move… almost feel bad for the guy!

One of my guys was raving about his Taylor pick so I went and snagged that, along with a bottle of Corazon they finished in the barrel from his last Weller pick. Gonna be a fun weekend!

Bums me out… I have nearly 5k Vechain and thought I was pretty early… guess not

I love y’all cause, every time I think I have a problem, you swiftly bring me back to earth.

Leftovers from the leg of lamb I grilled last weekend:

Anyone know what states/cities they’re targeting for expansion?
