  1. Chicago prepping for a big event
  2. Hilarious having my 24 year old dadsplaining Lollapalooza to me. I’m “back when I was 19 there was a band called Jane’s Addiction…” Now they have Chappell Roan.
  3. No lie. Just got home from a wonderful evening in River North. It almost feels like fall. [mention=2289]chitowndoc[/mention] thanks for the offer, I may take you up on it soon.
  4. Oh, 69. Nice uneventful round. Makes the speithcoaster look like a kiddie ride.
  5. The dogs woke me up at 2:30 and I said fuck it lets fish. Actually rolled over and said “It’s my birthday, intercourse or golf course?” And she murmured go catch redfish. I’m in a cauldron of ladyfish and rat reds destroying shad. I’ve never seen such a raw amount of baitfish. A guide just slid by with some pissed off looking clients. I’ve caught a half dozen rat reds and I’m at my honey hole for hog sized reds, a duck lake drain, the tide is right, and even the alligators are mauling shad like a blue whale takes out a krill pod. But it’s a gorgeous dry day in southwest ell-ay.
  6. So Monday night I’m going to http://www.chicagocutsteakhouse.com/. Edit - Gibsons Italia is what is booked up.
  7. When I was a kid I had to go with my friend to swim practice for his team. They turned me loose unsupervised at the SMU diving well and I climbed to the top of the platform before noping myself back down to the springboards. My childhood pool had a high dive and I would scare myself shitless sometimes trying new dives.
  8. Walz should quote straight from Hillbilly Elegy, “like J.D. Vance, my military service was transformational. Which makes his alliance with Donald Trump an even bigger indictment of his lack of character and absence of principals. I ask you directly, J.D., when did you decide to sell your soul to the devil?” “Are you following orders from convicted felon Donald Trump like you learned to follow orders in the marine corps?”
  9. My coworker was a diver at Michigan. She told me a teammate hit her head on the platform and scalped herself. Dangerous sport.
  10. My kid’s job is to make sure Gil’s kid gets a doc if he ever needs it. Btw I’ll be on post next Friday.
  11. Staying at Hotel Chicago for the Marriott points and because it’s right across the river from my daughter’s office and about a half mile from my office. I fly out, and the dems fly in.
  12. Graham bought the Missions? Good for him. Hard to believe that it’s been nearly a quarter century since we built Rackspace.
  13. My best friend since 7th grade has been a professor at Chadron State College for 20 years. He’s the guy I went to Berkshire Hathaway weekend with in May. A friend of his was one of Walz’s students at Alliance and said he is a fantastic teacher. Also my friend was on the distinguished Alumni committee and when Walz’s turn came to be honored, they were asked to hold off for reasons. (Nebraska = Republican governor, CSC = state funded cow college, possible budget retaliation)
  14. lol I followed him at the Dell WCG last year.
  15. No fucking way! Been dealing with some family stuff and just saw the results and am so thrilled. I told my wife this was like Katie spotting her best opponents a 15 yard lead going into the last turn and then just deciding to blow by them all. Otherworldly stuff. Now I’m going to get on my peloton and watch the final round.
  16. Coach dickwad turned senator from Alabama politicizing and holding up promotions.
  17. In my dreams. Don’t forget I picked my username before I quit drinking.
  18. Sorry. Was watching the Astros getting their butts kicked. Fixed it for me.
  19. Fifm
  20. FWIW, I consider Shacklee a pretty weakassed MLM. They make a pretty good fiber pill that results in satisfying bowel movements. If only the GQP had a history of giving power to completely unqualified scions of Amway. Or private Militias. (Betsy Devoss & her brother Eric Prince)
  21. HAD to replace, or did replace. I’ve become proficient at YouTube for any repair not involving a fried circuit board. Dishwasher drain float, clothes washer drain strainer, dryer belt and roller tune ups (both front loaders) are easy. But I just bought a new washer dryer set when I moved because the old ones were too deep for the laundry room doors, and I’ve had bad luck with LG dishwashers so if I have to replace one I just buy the highest rated Bosch. But Monday I replaced a 1998 model chain drive liftmaster garage door opener with a new WiFi enabled Chaimberlain belt drive. It is slick. I could have fixed the liftmaster with some effort and new components but it wasn’t worth it.
  22. My bff group text had fun with those names all night.
