    WTI back above $70 by a few dimes and pennies. Up about 4% on the week despite crashing to $65 on Tuesday.

    Looking likely that tomorrow and/or Sunday will be hottest day of the rest of 2024. 96 in Houston. 100 in Austin. Gonna be 95 or above through next Wednesday or so, but things should get a little nicer towards next weekend. Extended stretch of warm, dry, and sunny ahead. Second Summer has begun.

    You don't need the batter to score or even get on base in the scenario I'm describing. That's what I meant.

    You think $2.25 nat gas is fun, wait til you see $0.25!

    Flare, baby, flare!! E&P companies need to be less concerned with "making money" or being "economically viable" and should just produce at max capacity all the time to keep prices as low as possible. I am a very serious individual.

    JD says we should be producing 3 million more barrels per day and 2 or 3 times as much nat gas.

    Tuesday night game was the perfect example of what I'm talking about. Abreu comes in and fucking dominates, holding the A's scoreless in both the 10th and 11th. All you need is a single run and it's an instant W. You're not sacrificing anything by giving up an out to move the runner over. Him scoring is the only thing that matters and you take home the W. Nope, swing away boys!

    My biggest complaint with Espada is having too much faith in his players and refusing to make the "safe" managerial call. Seems like he won't call for a bunt in extras. Won't walk a hot hitter when there's a base open in a tight game. Always tries to wring 1 more inning out of a laboring pitcher. "I trust my guy to deliver in that situation" and then they don't and we end up losing by 1 run.

    How will we replace -0.6 WAR in the meantime??!??!

    An exceedingly mediocre team by the standard of the past 7 years whose only saving grace has been playing in the weakest division in baseball. Poorly constructed roster beset by injuries. Terrible record in close games and extra innings. Just not a very exciting product.
  11. Storm the Field
    At least we didn't tie it up just to lose in extras. 15-26 now in games decided by 1 run. No clutch.
  12. Storm the Field
    Down by a run. Got Jake, Dubon, and Heyward coming up. Ugh. And M's just took a 3 run lead.
  13. Storm the Field
    Almost certainly.

    ~850 point turnaround for the DJIA. From 40026 a little after 10 am to closing at 40861. VIX chart for the day:

    Dumbest loss of the entire season. 2/17 with RISP. You hold the visiting team scoreless 2 straight innings in extras, you should have about a 99% chance of winning. Nope, defeated by the inability to properly field 3 straight bunts. And of course strand a leadoff double in the bottom half.

    Welp, that cool down was pretty nice for the 60 or so hours that it lasted. Right back to mid-Summer this coming weekend. Mid 90's Friday through Sunday. Luckily the pool has ticked down a few degrees following the cool front and rain last week and is somewhat refreshing again vs. feeling like bath water. Being that it's still technically Summer until the 22nd, I don't HATE the 91/75 forecast for basically every day next week. Would like to see some more rain though.

    Landman

    Storm the Field replied to RPM's topic in Movies and TV

    A show about a field landman would probably not have much mass appeal. Follow around some 40-something problem drinker as he visits courthouses in scenic locations like Carthage, Big Spring, and Cuero. After he puts in a couple hours, the drama really amps up as he heads to the Chili's in the parking lot of the Hampton Inn he's staying in and attempts to romance the recently-divorced bartender with 4 kids. One episode is just him driving back all day on a Friday to his sad little apartment in San Antonio. But hey, 75 cents a mile reimbursement plus day rate!

    RBOB gasoline futures are at a 3 1/2 year low. By October, pump prices will be close to $1 less than a year ago.

    Latest spaghetti models have Francine coming in just a little SW of Lafayette. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/storminfo/06L_tracks_latest.png

    Mixed bag on August jobs report. Neither bulls nor bears happy. Headline number slightly below expectations (142K vs. 165K). July revised down to only 79K. However, U3 down from 4.3% to 4.2% and wage growth stronger than expected at 0.4%. Coin flip odds between 25 bps or 50 bps cut in in 2 weeks. 10-year was down immediately after release, but now flat.

    Very similar plans. Heading up to my lease south of Rayburn. Low of 58 early Sunday morning. Sitting out by the firepit on Saturday is gonna be heaven.

    About 48 more hours of clouds, scattered showers and humidity and then skies should clear as much drier air starts rolling through Saturday afternoon with the arrival of the first Fall Teaser Front. Saturday night through Monday morning will be the nicest stretch of this short-lived treat. Muggier conditions return on Tuesday. Pretty much everywhere in the State will see some cooler temps this weekend, but it will be more pronounced away from the coast. Houston likely to only drop to high 60's, while Austin and Dallas should hit low 60's.

    2nd meter. We had to run a whole new gas line from the side of the house to back where our generator is installed behind the garage.

    2nd gas meter. For the gas line that feeds the generator.
