  1. It’s hard to respect Liam Neeson/Bryan Mills when we can neither get his real name right nor remember his character’s name.
  2. John Wick with a fucking pencil.
  3. They’re right. I’ve lost several over the years (I’ve planted almost 100 trees, and well over 100 bushes). I maintain 4” minimum of mulch water them right before I leave for a few days. The trees in my yard can survive another week off the sprinklers. I use a hose timer valve if I’m gone longer. My RainBird timer went haywire and stopped working. That cost me two apple trees. I bought a Nelson timer that hasn’t failed yet. As for the small orchard I planted at the cabin, it’s too far for a hose. My daughter (no pics) will go out there and dump a few gallons on each tree every few days when I’m gone. Most of the trees are almost 3 years old. I’m almost out of the woods. I’ve had problems with lilacs planted at the back of our yard at home. I installed a drip line, but a few died. I cut 6” off the top of the plastic pots and buried them about 1.5” deep around the new plants to direct the water directly down into the root zone. The drip lines do the rest. So far so good. As mentioned, my wife thinks I’m abnormally obsessed with these plants. I remind her that they will live a lot longer than I will. My grandpa planted 8 apple trees in the 60s, and they are still producing today without any tending by him (he died in ‘79).
  4. Whiskey Rurrabye
  5. I have similar thoughts about men over 30 wearing hoodies. Everyone chill, I’m not talking about zip up hoodies.
  6. I’m a firm believer in fruit bushes and trees, for the exact reason you stated. Between our main residence and our getaway place, I’ve got 21 trees (mostly apple, but also peach, plum, and cherry) and 21 bushes (honeyberry, gooseberry, raspberry, Saskatoon, and currant). Plus a strawberry patch. I’ll plant about 4 more trees this year (pear and mulberry), as well as at least a dozen more bushes (huckleberry, lingonberry, and blackberry). My wife thinks I’ve lost my mind, but I’m incorporating a lot of the bushes into our landscaping. Besides, we’re gone for stretches from either property, so maintaining a bunch of annual vegetables and herbs is kinda difficult.
  7. I had to call the ticket office to order my season tickets. I had already made my LHF donation, but the website wouldn’t let me continue to checkout because I deleted a duplicate LHF contribution that was prefilled in the cart. The response I got seemed to indicate I wasn’t the only one who had this problem.
  8. Maybe so. All of the tiny women with giant husbands died in childbirth.
  9. That’s why I changed my cousin’s theory from kids to boys. She was actually talking about boys when she said that because they were her older kids who concentrated on basketball.
  10. My cousin always said something about tall kids. Her husband was a great player in college in the 60s who still holds school scoring records as well as a conference scoring record. Her boys both played CBB. Anyway, her observation has always been that tall moms make tall boys, more so than tall dads. Dylan’s mom looks to be 5’-10” or taller.
  11. Fuck off!!!1!! I watched the 2H of the Crest game, my first Texas BB game in a decade. I’m no fair weather fan.
  12. For those of us not watching, how did Carr almost blow a 7 point lead with <11 secs to go?
  13. How I envision Kevin dispatching a Grizzly, armed with nothing but a knife and his superior intellect.
  14. Starting your shot from waist high has it’s advantages.
  15. I was always torn between the two. I found a Mexican restaurant in IA that sells their hot sauce in styrofoam fountain drink cups. It’s similar to Valentinos, only better, and thicker like a salsa. I buy that at 1/4 the price per ounce every time I go through Sioux City.
  16. You misspelled NAIA.
  17. Elena jokes are lame.
  18. I was just adding that when you responded.
  19. Show-n-tell 1950s style. Also, G is for girl.
