Robin Masters

I think Federer was like the Williams sisters. So much better than everyone else that he pushed the rest of the field to roid up. There used to be a blog showcasing the transmongrificaton of tennis players. Even guys like Murray got extremely well defined. Nadal went from a scrawny kid to a huge freak. I mean it was soooo obvious. He went from being extremely quick(Michael Chang) to quick and powerful with more top spin than even Federer, and Fed had more than anyone else. It always pissed me off that Fed didn't push hard for drug testing because it seemed like he would benefit huge from this. To me Nadal robbed him of several titles. I guess either he was doing something or he was getting big pressure to STFU because the sport would have been obliterated since basically no one else could pass a drug test. Mcenroe was also complicit in this telling us all on broadcasts that these guys train so much harder today than his day. Maybe they train better, but Borg was not sitting on his ass back then. I recall some profile of him and he was talking about his routine and he was fucking working. This was not 1970s baseball players with a beer gut. Tennis players were always in great shape, and they all had a certain look, which Federer has, and then boom, everyone suddenly got completely shredded, and everyone also suddenly was celiac and balding etc. and breaking down. It wouldn't surprise me if Federer isn't doing something now to help with endurance. Second week of a tourney at that age cannot be easy. I would love to see wood frames return. Federer is the best I've ever seen, but I also realllly loved watching Johnny Mac at the net. Those hands were so great.

The real MVP

The smart home and me are having problems. I installed one of those smart locks (gen 2 Kwikset Kevo), but after you walk in, my office is to the right and then extends forward, so I wind up sitting at my desk about in line with the door. I of course have my phone there. So the fucking lock wants to randomly lock or open when you walk in or out of the house. We quickly got in the habit of not closing the door all the way when putting out the trash, getting a package, etc. because the thing might try to close the deadbolt. Now its deactivated. I will give it another try when my office gets turned into the new babies room and I get kicked down the hall to the proper office. I installed a Ring Pro 2 doorbell. People walk up to the door. The image looks like complete ass. Even though that is the shady side of the house, my porch is dark enough compared to a blue sky that it has to massively boost the exposure to get anything and it turns into mush. I installed at the height they said. I would uninstall and raise it, add the shims to point it down some, but it was a major pain in the ass to install. Our door frame is some fake wood that the shitty screws that came with the Ring broke off in, even when I pre-drilled. I would have 4 holes in that shit to patch if I move it. I could move it to the side of the door where the existing doorbell is, but then I don't see someone until they are right there and people already ignored the existing doorbell. Plus then I would be drilling into brick and installing anchors. No thanks. This isn't my forever home. My basic ass Arlo's have worked really well. Even the busier one at the front entry I only have to change batteries twice a year. Then a few weeks ago I did the battery change on a couple of them, we leave the house, I try to log in, and the system is down. I look online and it seems to be a systemwide outage. I forgot about it, then noticed a few days later hey no alerts when packages are delivered. I look again and they are saying reboot the main box and you may have to re-sync cameras. Rebooted it, they wouldn't sync. Deleted it from my account, nope. Did the full reset, nope. Finally tech supported and they tried to make me redo all the stuff I had done. Finally they said, yeah that seems fucked. You're out of warranty but we're going to replace it anyway. Hmmmm. I'm pretty sure they pushed a firmware and that crashed everything, and in my case bricked the receiving box. It's all back up and working fine now but imagine you are traveling when they fuck you, and you're not there to reboot the main box. Even LED lights have been shit. Well the ones that go in the can lights anyway. I bought some with good reviews on Amazon, installed them, and within a year, half had burned out. I guess it was a known thing because when we notified them, they sent replacements for those, as well as the rest that hadn't went bad. It was like karma for me bragging about how we will never again have to bring the ladder in here and change these. So far none of the replacements have went out but I'm not holding my breath.

I really loved Sicily Great food, nice people, didn't feel like they were as out to con me as most of Italy. Try to time it with some local festival if you can. They really get into it.

Your mom deemed my pensu a deadly weapon after it took repeated plunges to the bottom of her water slide. Wait we're still doing the your mom thing here right?

Finishing watching this now. Hate the hoop. Love having Brundle do the races. Hamilton by 8/10ths in qualifying does not bode well for at least the first 1/3 or so of the season. Good to see Haas with some pace, and McLaren. Just need one of those freaky days that F1 has one or two of a year and Alonso might grab a win.
