  1. Their “fanbase” doesn’t care when they have big name coaches and are playing for conference titles. It doesn’t matter.
  2. I have greatly reduced the number of different things I’m growing in the winter garden this year. The greens are probably my favorite, but I also have radishes and carrots and managed to squeak out a fall green bean crop as well as another try at snap peas, which are only making leaves so far. The first round of carrots should be ready in a couple weeks and I’ll continue with more because I planted pretty much every other week since September. I gave up on brassicas because of the pest problems and regret nothing.
  3. Opened one of these yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. It’s $110-$120, but probably has my favorite finish of the year. I should probably caveat this by saying I haven’t bought much in terms of new bottles this year. Definitely way better than the Old Fitz 7.
  4. This weather sucks. Nothing is coming out in the daylight and I can’t even time the pigs right.
  5. No experience with the Rix, but I do like my 3x 384 Rattler which was $2500 last year. https://outdoorlegacygear.com/products/agm-rattler-v2-ts35-384-3x-24-thermal-rifle-scope For anything 100 yards and over you’ll be wanting 3x base mag, maybe step up to the low $3k range and get something like this. https://outdoorlegacygear.com/products/pulsar-thermion-2-xg50-3-24x-thermal-rifle-scope I really wish I had gone better than 384. It’s great at 50-50 yards and really runs out of steam at 120-130 yards.
  6. Belle Meade was good, if not great, when it was batched 8-9 year MGP. I think it’s coming back as something else, which probably won’t be worth the money.
  7. First sit of the season tonight. There’s been a 10 point, but at weird times so we will see how it goes.
  8. I think JD10 is more crushable, I’m good for exactly one pour of the sherry finish in a night before I’m ready to move on. It’s good, but it’s one of those bottles that will take me 5 years to kill.
  9. The Spec’s pick was good, but the Alamo City 12 year Widow Jane is one of the best 12 year MGP I’ve had. I’d probably take Boone County 12 over it and that’s about it.
  10. Had this at Junction Prime in Kingsland over the weekend and picked up a bottle today. Also saw EHT Small Batch sitting on the shelf. The earth is healing.
  11. Second AK trip of the year is in the books. Pics in order are bombing down Chatham Strait on the prettiest day ever, at anchor in Basket Bay on Chichagof Island for sockeye fishing, anchored for the night in Sitkoh Bay on Chichagof, fishing in Peril Strait between Baranof and Chichagof, waterfall in Endicott Arm, and fishing the Golden North Salmon Derby in northern Stephens Passage during ass weather at the end of the trip. Highlights are always more fun, but I also had some fairly terrible 2.5s duration 4’ waves in 25 knot winds.
  12. Peppers are going hard right now. I need to figure out how to make Dona style salsa out of serranos, but I’m not sure they have enough meat on them. My first try was straight trash. Also starting to get some figs.
  13. There’s an exception to every rule and I do have a good friend who was at UCLA the same time as me. Hit me up if you want my thoughts about fishing Alaska with your boy. I have many thoughts on how to do it well instead of like every other sucker from the southern states.
  14. Sadly, Kings just shut down for non-residents for the entirety of Southeast. Halibut is 1 per day in a slot for charters and no retention Wednesdays except for the far northern edge of southeast that gets regulated with Yakutat and is a little better. Silver/Coho is going to be solid from what I saw in outside waters in late June.
