God dammit! Old friend of mine, one of the first "dad friends" I made, from when our kids went to kindergarten together, died today. He was an older radio dude, had the most amazing booming voice, and had fallen on some rough times. I don't know yet if he went out on his own terms or if it was all the serious medical stuff he'd been dealing with the past few years, but he was a good man. Our kids would do stuff together all the time, but we'd kinda gotten away from each other as though he had 100% custody until his daughter Izzy was 13 or so, she wound up going to stay with her mom half the time. He was in his 50s when she was born, and her mom in her late 20s/early 30s, and not the greatest parent out there. So he was late 60s, smoked a pack a day but quit cold turkey when his doc was like "stop or you're not going to get to see your kid grow up." Fuck. I feel so bad for Izzy. I lost my dad when I was younger than her, but she's still way too fucking young. Fuck, man... we used to take all the kids out to Fazoli's during the "lean years" because we got 99 cent kid meals on Tuesdays, and they had arts and crafts, and for 20$ we'd feed 4 kids (one more of the crew lived with her great grandmother, b/c her mom was a POS and her grandmother was barely better, but the old French grandmother was fantastic) and spend 2-3 hours hanging out and talking. Man, this one hurts. Shit, Zoe doesn't even know yet. They had so many sleepovers. We even lived in the same apartment complex (found out after the girls were friends and randomly ran into them when parking was full and had to park at their building.) Fuck. Edit: Oh, yeah, you guys don't know him. RIP John Johnson aka "Bearski" aka John Thomas. I just knew the dude as "John." Dammit.

https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-gas-grill/ These are on the lower-middle version of what you're looking at, I think, but they seem to be well thought of. Pretty sure along with Jim, multiple people here have Spirits or Genesiseses. S-310 seems like a fantastic choice. My house came with an older Weber gas grill and a charcoal grill as well, but were not for those, I'd probably be actively looking for a Weber X-310.

<3 I did see some YouTube videos about repairing them when I was looking for a pic, so I figure it's doable.

Not sure how that's my problem, though when I do have those problems, I just make Colin fix it. It usually takes 4-6 years, but it'll get done eventually.

Just get a couple of those for storage purposes only, and eject when you want to put it on a real player. Problem solved.

Fuck thieves Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

It got stolen this weekend, but my 26 miles on it since new were mostly great. The bike handled really well, rode like a dream. I had to grease some parts as I was getting some creaking, but I'm definitely a Clydesdale, and would chalk it up to that after some messing around with it. Would buy again, but I'm sick of talking about it now. My kid's bike was also stolen, and having to watch him cry for hours (it was after one of our few rides together since being in Seattle, and we had a fantastic night, only to be ruined by theft.

¡Feliz cumpleaños, me amigo de Canon y cerveza!

Hmmm... I may have listened to Lemonade 90 times, but Life of Pablo was meh. #Suspect Also, did you read the comments? Someone brings up Obama as heading a hand in this. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Glad you had a great time, Purk! Probably the first ATL headphone meet I've missed since I've been on the scene, but I'm glad you're holding down the fort! Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Ultra Burger at Quinn's Pub. Duck egg, wild boar sloppy joe inside an onion ring, topping bacon, white cheddar, and an 8oz Pattie on a nice bun. Too bad they took med rare as "burn the shit out of it." Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

First ride on the Lynskey Pro GR titanium gravel bike. Couldn't find much gravel, but played in the dirt a little. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

¡Feliz Navidad, mi amigo de barba!

There is a hole that is for internal routing, which wasn't utilized, when I paid the fucking company to build my bike before shipping. I'm not amused, but there is an extra hanger point. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
