  1. Every time I walk into my laundry room, seething with irritation at my wife’s habits, I think of you and just let those resentments slip away. And I kiss her on the head and thank God that lack of housekeeping is her most glaring character defect, and I thank him again for her putting up with my cranky ass. In all seriousness, holy shit that 10 years flew by. What a wonderful transformation! Congratulations and bro hugs.
  2. pch is the guy I want to be when I grow up. Happy Birthday, my friend. And thank you for carrying the message. Guys, I showed up at his home group and he was so welcoming, and it was plainly obvious that many in the room owe their sobriety to him. I only wish I had more opportunity to be able to drop in. Anybody know of any good meetings in the Washington DC beltway? Those seem to be my new workweek stomping grounds.
  3. lol you’re fucking with me right?
  4. I always wondered about those bites to landings ratios. Man I am always so jealous of your posts, but I’ll bet it’s a lot of work, and way more $$ than I spend. I was able to sleep late, go catch a few reds and specks in the marsh, and have the boat washed down in time to watch golf. After spending the last two weeks in DC for work I just needed some outdoor time.
  5. Get both eyes done, and splurge for premium lenses. Best decision I’ve ever made. 20/10 eyesight after wearing glasses for 35 years.
  6. He’s aping Ted Cruz here right, with the upside down spinning rod?
  7. And he is Stroud’s carpool partner, and is an old soul. He might be a coach after his playing career. He might be the most emotionally stable, loyal man in the entire world.
  8. I was pulling for Novak to not pull that putt on 18. Here we go playoff.
  9. That bullseye is cool. My son’s recteq 590 sat covered on his back porch in NC while he was deployed to Poland and to Kuwait and when he moved to Colorado Springs his auger/motor was clogged and shit the bed. One call to customer service, and they’re sending him all new components at no charge. And now recteq is going retail; my locally-owned ace hardware boutique (M &D) recently started stocking the whole line, including accessories. So I got to see the bullseye up close. Last weekend I ordered custom patio furniture from the outfit (Balboa co) that installed fireplaces for my dad and grandfather’s home building business for 50 years, and he has the full line of Yoders. I don’t know if I’m ever going to spend 3k on a pellet grill, but they are so nice. I’m about to go outside and prep my 590 to smoke a beef tenderloin for tomorrow.
  10. Do you go to Avalon?
  11. Well, I think you’re wrong. Steamed crawfish is a near religious experience for people who actually want to taste that sweet tender meat. The key is resting them for 20 minutes and tossing the cooler every 5 minutes.
  12. A tributary of the Calcasieu River, Moss Bluff, LA. Boudreaux central. The kid with the gar and mullet is who I want to be when I grow up. Pure country joy. Has his own pony and cows to herd and a daddy who rodeos. Killed his first gator at 4. No shit, his government name is Bear Fontenot. To break down the crawfish recipe, it’s steamed crawfish bathed in equal parts vinegar and lemon juice, a quart of minced garlic, a lb of butter, and a little swamp dust. There is maybe 2 inches of water in the pot to cook that whole basket. We did 93 lbs.
  13. Sat in QBRs in Bethesda today and one of the directors caught me laughing to myself and asked if I had something to add. I said “no, not out loud.” What I should have said was “everybody chill. We’re in a particularly nasty iteration of the simulation, and no amount of stress can reverse the systemic breakage occurring right now.” One of the VPs actually has a practice around how to profit from DOGE destruction. I can’t wait to see that deck. Still, after spending my first week scrambling around the beltway I’m spent. And I get to do it again next week.
  14. And a bunch of mid century modern houses nestled next to tiny greens.
  15. Plus rechecking the Schwab statements for gain and losses and remembering “why the hell did I take stonk advice from surly?” trades.
  16. An old one, and probably a 1099,, but I think it’s appropriate.
  17. The only thing I read on X is Michael Kim. https://x.com/mike_kim714/status/1911553169483530450?s=46
  18. You know some CBS guy in the trailer would love to put “Rich old white guy” under Fred Ridley’s name.
  19. I knew he was gonna miss it.
  20. I think he’s just dazed and confused.
  21. Except his wife’s family, because he hasn’t spoken to his own in over a decade.
