    Q4 GDP initial reading: 2.9%.

    Turns out that at this age, all it takes is (i) daily exercise, (ii) abstain from alcohol, (iii) forego eating anything fun and get used to being hungry constantly. Piece of cake.

    "12 yards long and 2 lanes wide, 65 tons of American Pride" "Top of the line in utility sports, unexplained fires are a matter for the courts" Also love the disclaimer "The Federal Highway Commission has ruled the Canyonero unsafe for city or highway driving."

    I'm back in the Sub 200 Club! 198.2 at this morning's weigh-in. Another 0.4 lbs and I'll be down a full 10 on the month.

    In addition to today's soaking, >50% chance of rain every day from Saturday through next Thursday. Might put a little dent in the drought maps.

    These boys got run through the East Texas Meth-Head Name Generator.

    FWIW, my wife went through something fairly similar not too long ago. 15 years post college and had never spent a day unemployed in her adult life. Company she'd been with for over a decade sold all off their assets and closed up shop in late 2020. We figured she'd be able to enjoy ~6 months of free time (got a healthy severance) and then find a job nearly instantaneously with her resume. Took over 6 months after she started in earnest to finally land something. Made it to a 3rd or 4th round at least half a dozen times. A handful of companies just straight up ghosted her deep into the interview process. Overqualified/too expensive/unlikely to stay for long is the best we could figure. Funny enough, I think tomorrow will be her 1-year anniversary in her new role. It sucks, and each successive rejection seems to compound on the ones that came before, but you seem to have your head in the right place. Good luck man.

    Bout to be that time of year again. Less than 10 days until NAPE is once again upon us. Last year was the most fun in years after half a decade in the doldrums. Bakken party on Wednesday night last year was a downright rager. Looks like this year should be just about the same. Almost everyone I've seen is basically hosting the exact same events they did last year.

    Yeah, I can guess on probably 90% of the start times. Mostly just want to know the weekday day games. And I feel like a lot of early season Saturday games are 3:10 and then they move them to 6:10 when it gets closer to Summer.

    When the hell are they gonna release our start times for the 2023 home slate? Every single home game is still TBA. Trying to start putting together a priority list for my share of group tickets.

    Natty this morning.

    Another weekend in the bag. Heading into the home stretch y'all.

    Sidenote. The music in this video comes from a Swedish power metal band called Sabaton. Their entire schtick is songs about famous military battles and wars throughout history (and dressing in camo, having a prop tank onstage...etc.). I imagine they'll have enough material about Ukraine to fill their next several albums.

    Nothing fancy, but worth passing on. Grilled some Greek-style chicken skewers last night and they turned out perfect. Followed this recipe exactly and then added in a teaspoon each of parsley, mint, and rosemary as well. Only had 90 minutes to marinate, but you could leave them in for several hours and they'd be even better. https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/greek-chicken-kabobs/ Gonna make another batch on Sunday to save for lunches during the week.

    Started a day late, so I'll be 18-1 tomorrow morning. Haven't firmly decided plans for next weekend. I think at worst I'll finish 27-3.

    WTI eked out a modest $1.50 gain this week while natty continued to get pummeled (currently $3.13, down 55% since 12/15).

    A bit of a breather heading into the weekend. Dow breaks its 3-day losing streak but drops ~625 on the week. S&P ends just barely down on the week. Repeatedly struggled to hold 4K. Nasdaq hits a 5-week high.

    So, Tucker's new project seems to be rehabilitating Nixon into an innocent victim of the Deep State.

    Gonna be pretty dreary the next ~40 hours, but Sunday should be glorious. Little chilly in the morning, but warming to the mid-60's after lunch. Get ya butts outside!

    Not today, Satan! Brand new patio bar, which co-workers and I have been watching get built for well over a year, finally opened up right next door to our office this week and they've got a great happy hour. It's currently 70 degrees and sunny, and if it wasn't January, I'd be sitting out there enjoying my 2nd pint of the afternoon about right now.

    In states where NC's are enforceable, generally there has to have been some type of consideration in exchange for agreeing to the NC. And the consideration can't just be "you get to keep your job." Doesn't mean that companies don't continue to try and do exactly that though.

    Aren't NC's a big deal in healthcare? I've seen plenty of anecdotes about hospitals or practice groups including a "can't provide medical services anywhere within a 50-mile radius for the next 2 years" clause in their employment contracts. There was an Appeals Court case recently regarding 3 nurses that essentially would have had to leave the state entirely to find a job that wouldn't violate their NC if upheld. https://www.nurse.com/blog/nurses-challenge-employers-noncompete-agreement/
