  1. Well this is going just lovely. /sarcasm Floor install started yesterday, and stopped. Long story, but it’s going to take raising the LR floor to the kitchen height, then leveling compound, and some other crap. Plus the floor wasn’t joining tight in several places, so they took up the 6 boxes already laid and bailed. They’re working on getting some osb to raise the LR floor up to the kitchen (had ceramic tile under the laminate, carpet in LR) and are also switching out the flooring lot. Of course that issue could be/probably was unleveled floors, but they started in the wrong direction anyway, so I’m going to bite my tongue on that. Worst case is they replace the 6 boxes already used, since they probably weren’t careful taking it up anyway. Either way they’re changing direction and going end to end (across the joists) instead of front to back. Probably adds another 600-700. 🙄 Projector comes in Thursday, screen on Friday. Cabinet ships on Friday for the second time. First time wires got crossed between seller and manufacturer, and they somehow sent me a Leon center channel instead of a salamander cabinet. Not bueno. Took some leg work, but the company did a great job to solve the problem. If anyone needs audio stuff, give Audio Advice out of Raleigh a spin, they’re great peeps. So contractor hell for a bit, and a delay, but they’ll have to deal with it, as do I. Guess there’s going to be an A/V cabinet (still boxed) for them to also move around when they come back.
  2. Look at sling’s orange package. I think they do a prepaid option for 3-4 mo at a time. Saves a bit, and gets you to the end of the network.
  3. Nobody watching has either. E for effort, but not buneo.
  4. At this point, Tiger is flashing more than Jordan. Who’d have thought?
  5. Announcers were estimating that Jordan will need a 68 or better in Rd 2 to make the cut.
  6. I admire the hell out of anyone with a focus like that. Golf or whatever. That passion that never dies, is always hungry, and lasts a lifetime. That vid of Phil rattling off all that yardage shit like he’s having a leisurely morning coffee was insane. Knowing your number base, and then calculating all that is a pretty big task. Knowing if the lie is flat or angled in whatever direction, grain of the grass, the lie itself, wind, sun, humidity, altitude, the whole lot. And if it’s an approach shot, the green also factors in with its own set of most of the above. Then that video of Scottie calling his numbers? Fucking hell. He obviously puts in a fuck ton of work for that, but he’s just got a raw talent that makes it look simpler than it is.

    Fatty of Space Queen fired up. SQ is the child of Romulan x Cinderella 99 (pineapple pheno), and wowsers.
  8. Over/Under on how fat Fatrick Reed is now?
  9. After the first season, it has potential to grow, as did the first iteration, which really didn’t come into its own until S3. Not that 1/2 were bad, but they were the warm-up for what was to come.
  10. Looks like the camera is on some type of gyroscopic/self-leveling mount.
  11. Back when I moved into the current house, I built a deck rail box out of cedar. Lined the bottom with pond liner, and put (2) 4” drain tiles from end to end in the bottom. Then put a 1/2” hole through one end for a horizontal pipe overflow, top of hole even with top of tile, and put a vertical pipe about 6” taller than the side, that went through the top of one of the drain tiles. This was the fill pipe. Covered the drain tile with old t-shirts, and put dirt in it. Self watering, took the hose to it every week or so until it just started to come out the overflow. It finally met its demise last summer when we rebuilt the deck. 12 years of service, can’t complain (other than what it would cost to do the same now.) When I move in a few years, I’ll definitely be incorporating similar where called for.
  12. Pretty damn fine solution. You added drainage holes, right?
  13. That much vodka and the runs won’t be past tense.
