  1. Steak dinner and a nice bottle of wine from Skywalker Ranch.
  2. Longhorn band sounding hood in the cheap seats.
  3. Lotta time left. D better not sleep.
  4. The Milroe experiment ends tonight.
  5. FUCJ YES
  6. Seriously. And QE has - generally - been composed in the pocket.
  7. I didn’t like some of those slow developing runs either. The balance is good. Points left on the field.
  8. He’s got skill players with the dropsies.
  9. Not sure I agree. Playing to win. It’s been there for the taking.
  10. Furk
  11. Goddamn zebra conference
  12. Thank you D. Don’t fuck this up (again) O.
  13. Getting happy feet
  14. First holding call. Of course.
  15. Goddamn PK getting it done today. Fucking great D.
  16. Ewers looking good in the fucking pocket.
  17. Good coverage downfield on that stop.
  18. Sark calling a good game. When we get out our own way, it’s fucking there for the taking.
  19. Fuck yes
  20. Yeah, good luck navigating as the locals tend to remove all the street signs there. Salt Water Oyster Depot in Inverness is really great. Grab a sandwich at Inverness Park Market on your way to Point Reyes.
  21. Pop over to nearby Capitola, since you are there. Cute little town.
  22. Same issues faced with some the California wildfires - as noted above when the wind is blowing as strong as it was you can’t fly. Heartbreaking. Beautiful town, wonderful people. And the banyan tree. Furk.
  23. Also, while I love Kirkwood I would never drive there from the Olympic Valley area. First, highway 89 will be closed come winter time at Emerald Bay so to drive to Kirkwood you'd have to drive around the lake (clockwise) - Kings Beach, Zephyr, SLT. Then there's a pass you'll have to go through which is often a bit dicey. At the very least you'll need chains and/or 4WD. I would do Northstar (closer), Mt Rose (farther) before even thinking of Kirkwood. Heavenly also will require the same route around the lake. Just enjoy where you're at - I think Palisades probably has the best overall ski terrain at Tahoe. And Kirkwood sucks - no one should go there. No night life, practically no on-mountain dining, slow butt slamming lifts. Stay away. Terrible place.
  24. Alas, no tubing on the Truckee this year. It's complicated - this year, for a change, it's cancelled because there's too much water and they slowed the flow (as opposed to all the years it was closed because of drought). Season cancelled That was at the beginning of the season. The company we normally use still says 'closed' so I'm not sure the situation changed. Great hike/bike path from Olympic Valley down to Tahoe City. In that area the path is separate from the road. It continues south from there along 89, which has some nice stretches but also forces you to cross the (very busy) road a few times. Can be dicey with kids.
  25. Just got off a call with leadership. The press reports and even the note to US parents was all about the heat. But they now say the sanitary conditions were not good (shower and toilets) and at least initially the calories provided were inadequate. They stated concerns also that the on-site medical care was not able to keep up with the demand. That isn’t the story BSA first told us and many think they are trying to avoid any (more) legal issues. So instead of interacting with scouts from around the world, the US contingent will be sleeping on cots in a middle school gym at Humphreys. They have some ‘cultural’ activities on base planned which sound more like arts and crafts, as well as trips into Seoul for some sightseeing, shopping, and a baseball game. Going to legoland also discussed which will not be a lot of fun for any of the older teens. Evenings will be spent watching movies projected on the wall. They will not return to the Jamboree even for closing ceremonies. They will watch a livestream in the gym. Shittastic.
