  1. As we walk in the door from dinner tonight…

    HER: “Babe, do you smell smoke?!”
    TACO: “Yes, did you leave a candle burning?”
    HER: “No…”

    15 seconds later…

    HER: “Babe, get up here!”
    TACO: “Did you leave a candle burning?!”
    HER: “Yes…”

    Left it right next to a bag of Goldfish on her antique wood desk. The fish were a smoldering mess and the desk is fucked but we were VERY lucky it didn’t hit the fuzzy rug on the floor and take the whole damn house.

    At least we now know the batteries in the smoke detector needed replacing…

  2. Yeah that’s where my head is at too - Finished the night with the BO and wished I had picked something different, but that’s where our guests wanted to roll.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Looking for recs on wineries to hit in the Paso Robles/Templeton area. 

    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.

  6. Is the Abraham Bowman Cask Strength available in that area? I'll actually be in DC then Virginia for a week or so in early August. 
     

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

  7. Becoming very hard to find JJ Bowman on the shelf anywhere these days. Glad I already have a backup. 
     

    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.

  8. 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!

  9. Time for Suns fans to be nervous about this series.

    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.
