  1. Group of guys headed out to our lease last weekend and got a bunch of work done. Got a brand new stand and feeder set up, fixed and reinforced a year-old stand that got knocked over in high winds, and set up a new feeder at an old but decent stand whose feeder crapped out a while back. Also set up a couple of cellular game cameras at the new feeders. Have already had some ladies pop by, despite the fact we aren't even feeding yet.
  2. Hot AF today. "Wet Bulb" temperature up close to 91 in Houston today. Any WBT above 90 is considered "extreme" and people are encouraged to limit time spent outdoors.
  3. Holiday falling on a Thursday, setting up a nice 4 day weekend. Get home on Monday and the work week is already 1/3 of the way done.
  4. Ever seen a Russian disappear into thin air? I'd put a NSFL warning, but there's literally nothing left to see.
  5. Top 3 best Wins of the year. After leaving 14 LOBsters on the bases last night, and shitty defense costing multiple runs in both games, it was really nice to see us make them pay with bases juiced in 2-out situations. Dubon and Bregman with major redemption today. Through the first 14 innings of this series, it was beginning to feel like the win streak and getting back to .500 was fools gold, and we were backsliding into old bad habits.
  6. They're finally started tearing down the old Sears yesterday. Drove by earlier today and there's an excavator wiping out what's left. Been what, 5 years since they closed?
  7. There was a nearly identical study that came out during the heyday of Q-Anon back in 2018 that showed a very similar result.
  8. Couple milestones early this morning, lot of trading day left, but.... Nasdaq >18K and S&P >5500 for first time ever.
  9. PCE 0.0% for May, now at 2.6% YOY, lowest since May '21. Core PCE up only 0.1%, also 2.6% YOY, lowest since March '21.
  10. Dang. Brew Crew wasted a golden opportunity to walk off the Rags in the 9th. Going to extras. M's already won today.
  11. And finally, after the 80th game of the year,, the Astros reach .500 for the first time all season.
  12. A week away from the start of the Dog Days of Summer (officially 7/3-8/11). Aside from some moderate rain chances this weekend, extended forecast is just nothing but a whole lot of long ass days in the high 90's.
  13. Last few days in the markets.
  14. DJ Fire Hazard
  15. Down go the mighty ChiSox!
  16. Today is the Summer Solstice. Longest day of the year. Starting tomorrow, sunrises get later and sunsets get earlier. Just a few seconds off each end at first. Doesn't really pick up steam until you get closer to the Equinox in late September. At that point we start losing nearly a minute off each end every day.
  17. Lol. Sounds exactly like the fund managers that have been sitting on the sidelines b/c "recession and deep pullback imminent" and then when they finally have to issue a mea culpa, it's "well, if it weren't for reckless spending/money printing/fake numbers...I would have been right. Recession definitely soon though!"
  18. Spent part of yesterday afternoon partially assembling a feeder for the new stand we're brining out to the lease this coming weekend. From past experience, it's a lot more comfortable to do as much as possible at home than trying to put this thing together out in the field. https://www.academy.com/p/game-winner®-300-lb-silo-vp-feeder FYI, we set up this same model at a stand last year and have been happy with it so far. A lot sturdier than other cheap store-brand feeders. Is actual metal, not rubber or plastic, legs aren't feeble, comes with a varmint guard...etc. All in, after taxes and adding a (not included) solar panel, comes out to about $250. Only big drawback is that assembly takes a little while and gets annoying at times.
  19. Whole lotta rain in the forecast this week. Houston area gonna get a pretty good deluge starting tomorrow morning and really picking up through Wednesday. Areas south of town likely to have some localized flooding. CenTex should get some action as well, most likely Wednesday and/or Thursday.
