    Brother and I decided to take a quick trip up to our lease tomorrow morning, mostly for shits and giggles. Gonna clear out some brush and put a few sacks of corn in the feeders at the new stands we set up back in June, but otherwise just gonna drink beer, ride around in the UTV, and enjoy the countryside. Have a proper work weekend scheduled for mid-September where we'll head out with some of other guys and get everything else ready for the Fall and also do a little dove hunting since the watering hole actually has water for a change.

    Was starting to think I was gonna be the latest sufferer posting in this thread. Just got back from a long vacation on Tuesday, featuring several flights and train rides the last 2 weeks. Woke up fine yesterday and got a good workout in. On the way into work started dragging ass. Achy, fatigued, but pretty mild and powered through the day. Really started feeling puny on the drive home. Feverish, mild headache...etc.. Got home around 6:30, hopped on the upstairs couch and immediately passed the fuck out until about 10:30. Woke up drenched in sweat, chugged a bunch of water and then crawled into bed. Slept like a fucking rock the next 8 hours. Woke up around 6:30 this morning, very groggy, but otherwise fine. Still a little low energy this morning but all other symptoms have resided. Either I got lucky with mildest case of 'rona or it was something else entirely.

    C 3.5

    Caratini GIDP with 2 on, 0 out was a killer. Meyers put good contact on the ball and would have been an easy sac fly, but don't mean shit with 2 outs.

    Hader will be coming in for the 9th quite taxed. Insurance run or 5 would be nice.

    Spent the last 12 days in Europe. Don't think I experienced a temperature above 88 at any point. Just got back yesterday evening. Glad to see I got back just in time to catch the 3 hottest days of the entire Summer (thus far).

    Glad I stumbled on this thread over the weekend. Wife and I are leaving for a big Europe trip on Thursday and will be spending the 2nd half of the trip in Switzerland. Couple of nights in Lucerne and then a quick train trip out to Interlakken and/or Grindelwald for a bit. Last stop is Geneva for a day or two and then return flight home.

    Goddamnit. It all came down to Martinez coming with 2 outs and coughing up 3.

    I'm feeling greedy. Stomp on their throats.

    M's fans are down bad. From the replies on their team account.

    Won a game against SEA started by Kirby, who has a sub 1.5 ERA vs. Astros, to secure a series win and first place. Life is good.

    It's not weeks straight of triple digits and zero chance of rain. It's an improvement.

    Was quite nice to take the dogs on a walk this morning and not get back home drenched in sweat. Current forecast through the end of July is basically the exact opposite of last Summer. At this point in July 2023, we were already a few weeks into the seemingly never-ending stretch of brutal heat and drought at this point last year and didn't finally catch a break until the middle of September.

    Ronel Blanco and Hunter Brown leading the Summer Surge. A guy named "Tayler" getting signed for league minimum after being waived for the 5th time and being arguably the best 6th inning guy in MLB. . Pressly loses the closer job and looks like a washed-up turd through Memorial Day. Comes back from the dead and becomes an untouchable 8th inning setup man. Offense finally hits its stride after our MVP-contender who was raking goes down for 2 months. Just like we all drew it up.

    6 scoreless. Good job son.

    CR warning. Thank God our industry is privatized.

    Depressing story out of Beaumont, but at least a happy ending. Old man commits suicide by cop, leaves a note asking for his dog to be taken care of. Hundreds of people immediately offered to adopt and he already has a new home and new brother. https://www.12newsnow.com/article/news/local/man-fatally-shot-by-police-leaves-behind-note-asking-dog-be-taken-care-of/502-2952a1c3-35c1-4f14-9f7a-a59e8a9cbe88

    In my experience, that's just how dogs are. We've been feeding our 2 the exact same kibble for a decade. Previous attempts to try other diets or even other brands have ended in diarrhea. Hell, one of my dogs has his stomach gurgle non-stop and loses his appetite for the evening after going to the kennel b/c the treats they have aren't the same as the ones they get at home.

    Now that almost everyone has power back, I notice that Houston is still dealing with Beryl hangover. Traffic has been worse than ever the last few days and I'm not talking about highways. I think it's a combination of several lights still being out and shipping delays. Seen more 18-wheelers on city streets than ever before. I was heading back towards my house yesterday morning and the line of traffic waiting at the light at Yale and 610 was backed up all the way north the railroad tracks at 34th. Over 50% or more were freight vehicles. You would have had to sit through 6-7 light cycles to get through.

    Facebook has become totally overrun with foreign click-bait accounts that post AI-generated garbage. Stuff depicting American-ish soldiers, often with prosthetic limbs, seems to be de rigueur. Typically there will be one or more grotesque baby-like abominations in the image as well. There will be thousands of replies from a mix of bots and credulous boomers, all saying "God bless" and/or "Thank you for your service."

    Bingo. It's because they are used to communicating through implication/suggestion and bait questions (i. e. asking you about your day b/c they want you in turn to ask about their day so they can tell you about some drama) You can ask a yes or no question that literally has no "wrong" answer. Something like, "Hey babe, how are we looking on dog food? Do I need to pick up another bag on the way home?" It becomes a multiple choice question of "what did he REALLY mean by that?" "Is he being passive-aggressive to imply that I should have already picked some up?"

    This was a fun one earlier. Backstory: We had to completely empty our fridge and freezer following Beryl power outage. Wife just got back in town from a work trip earlier this afternoon. I was planning to hit up the grocery store on way home from work this evening to grab a few essentials. Quick call to my wife before I leave the office and stop at HEB. Me: "Hey, did you happen to go to the store when you got back today?" Her: "No, I thought you were going. I didn't know I was supposed to." Me: "You weren't supposed to, I'm just making sure you didn't so we don't end up double buying anything." Her: "I'm sorry." Me: "You don't need to apologize. You weren't supposed to go." Her: "I can go if you don't want to stop on the way home." Me: "Jesus Christ."
