    The Force is a standalone book about a NYC detective.

    My wife texted and said she came on at 10:20 and it was hot AF.

    Let us know when the show ends. I'm dropping off my wife, daughter, SIL and niece at tomorrow's show and want to know when I should be back to the Moody to pick them up.

  4. Just finished the last of Don Winslow's 3 novel set about Danny Ryan.  "City in Ruins" closes out the story and is Winslow's final book.  All his stuff is great, but this series was excellent.

    Ride and Charlatans was a surprisingly good show. My expectations were tempered given their age.

    A couple noteworthy things about Ride. They didn’t play Twisterella. That sucked. They’re also really loud. I went to 35 shows last year only Ride and Ravonettes registered on my personal too loud scale. I had to back away from the stage to get to a comfortable listening distance.

    Charlatans had better stage charisma. Lead singer engaged with the audience a lot. They finished strong with The Only One I Know and Sproston Green.

    I also was at the Charlatans show. I fuckin' love "Some Friendly" and "Between 10th and 11th".  Thought it was cool they played the latter in its entirety.  Sproston Green is a great end of show song.  The last time I saw them was in 2015 at Fun Fun Fun Fest.

    Which audio book version do you listen to? The only version I've listened to is narrated by Will Patton. I've listened to about 40-50 audiobooks so far and he is BY FAR the best one. His Holly Gibney is really good from Mr. Mercedes through If it Bleeds.

    I'm hoping he will continue to narrate the SK books.

    Completely agree. Will Patton is one of the best.  He's read all the Bill Hodges/Holly Gibney books and stories except for "Holly".  I get all my audio books from audible.com.  

    Another King narrator that I really enjoy is Craig Wasson. He read "11-22-63".

  7. I think today's PC was probably the best he ever he has done. His answer to the question about the portal was really good. His response to the one about culture was also very good. It's so easy to see why Sark is a great recruiter.  He doesn't whine. He doesn't play the victim card. I know he's had some issues on game day and he's getting better at that. But off the field with the media and with recruits, he's elite.

    I still remember when aggy was happy they won out on the LJ Johnson recruitment. I said back then that Brooks would have a better college career, because Johnson didn't appear to like playing football. aggy is now peak late tenure Mack Brown, chasing star rankings with little to no development.

    Kind of like the opposite of the Ced Benson/Derek Farmer debate.  Many aggys would have bet their life Farmer was going to better than Ced Benson and that Benson was overrated.  Oh look how the tables turned.  Brooks is going to hit 1k yards this year and Johnson might transfer (if he hasn't already).

  9. Just finished "Holly".  Really did like it.  I really have enjoyed all the books of the "Mr. Mercedes" world. I do them in audio and the narrator for "Holly" was by the actress that played Holly in the Mr. Mercedes tv show.

  10. I've two hairline cracks on the lower part of my Pentair Quad DE filter.  I found that my water level losing more water than usual, so I tracked it down to losing it drip by drip through the cracks. I can buy just the lower assembly online. But, to hold me over, I disassembled it and covered the leaks from the interior with two coats of flex seal. It needs about another 24 hour to fully cure before I put it back in service. It's only temporary to get me through the next month of swim season.

     

    Anybody ever tried something like this before?

    acting like a music snob.

    This is the worst of his schtick.  From what I can tell by his tastes and what he says he knows about music, the word "snob" does not enter my mind. He's had a good run. It's now time for him to find something else to do until he retires. Don't all aggys sell insurance in the burbs?  I think he could do it.  After he signs up a newly wed couple for insurance on their condo and Subaru, he could finish it off with a "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH you damn right...…"
