  1. Think of sugaring (the term for making syrup) like BBQ. It takes long enough you need a drink and if it wasn't 35 outside, your drink would need a koozie. The drinking is the best part.
  2. There was a thread a few months back about small town living. I live outside of Boston, but have a vacation home in Vermont. North East Kingdom if you want to look it up. I shared my thoughts on it on that thread. But one thing I never mentioned, Each of those trees you see in color is a maple. And the last few springs I have been making my own maple syrup. This will be year 3 and I finally bit the bullet on starting this thread. I will post a lot more details soon, but a few pictures of the process. And results 2023 2024 This year I also decided to build a dedicated evaporator instead of that jankey ass rig you see above
  3. I saw it a few months back, I thought it was OK. I felt that the 3rd act just kind of lost the plot. I mean if you're going to have a gimmick that the story is non-linear, why have it all resolve to the end with nothing that makes it worth it. Maybe I just didn't get it, but I felt that it was lacking.

  5. If he’s healthy, he’s playing. If Milan has health concerns, they can hold him out. But I don’t see that happening. Unless he’s really hurt.
  6. Hail to the kings.
  7. It needed something more. Just watched it last night. Came away the same. Jesus they totally wasted Simmons. His plot almost was pointless. Damn Rotton Tomatoes failed me. It was that or Conclave and they both were 93 critic with Juror #2 higher audience score. Audiences are dumb.
  8. We call it luck and being born on third base. Sure there was some hard work, but that’s also the owners of tons of companies that didn’t Make it. The bulk was just being lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time.

  10. I’ll say this, given the injuries we’ve got going on right now. I’m glad he’s around. I think we’ll be OK with him as our third choice. i’ll say this, right now he’s on the periphery of making World Cup 2026 team. The question is who is the third striker? And who knows? Maybe he moves into the second spot. And is it a given that Balogun is the number one? Right now (healthy), yes. Next year? They are.
  11. Good win. Team is in good shape in the league.
  12. Your lips to God’s ears.
  13. SPENCE!!!
  14. Whew that coming back for offsides.
  15. Boom boom
  16. Boom!!! Early lead!!!
  17. Moyes has certainly turned Everton around pretty quickly. 13 of 18 points out of the gate and on their way to 3 more today. In contrast ManU is a freaking train wreck. They really seem like a club with no plan. Just throw shit on the wall and see what sticks. They are going to take some time to rebuild.

  19. Updated schedule for Spurs, next few weeks until the international break Tomorrow - at Ipswitch Town Midweek Feb 26 - vs Man City Midweek March 6 - at AZ Alkmaar Weekend March 9 - Bournemouth Midweek March 13 - AZ Alkmaar Weekend March 16 - at Fulham
  20. Spurs draw AZ Alkmaar in the round of 16 for Europa. Not the worst draw of teams coming out of the playoff. They finished 19th in the league phase, but they are one of the Pot 2 teams in the draw. Spurs Matches are March 6th (away) and 13th (home).

  23. Yes For some reason UEFA doesn't like deterministic seeding, so after the league phase they basically put everyone in a Schrodinger's position in a normal 1-24 bracket. 1-2, 3-4, all the way up to 23-24. After the League phase they drew the teams 9-24. After the first KO phase they draw the last 8 teams. I gotta say I love this new format because it resulted in some great seeding with some teams down that shouldn't have been (see PSG, Madrid, Bayern and Citeh).
  24. I had been told on good authority that there have only been 2 fatalities all time by Tesla's autonomous driving. @Guadaloopy promised!!
