Had some old college friends come in I haven't seen in years, and met up with another one who just moved to town a few months ago. I was the culinary tour guide. At Taconooga, we shared some fries cactus. I had chicken and steak Taconooga tacos, with cheese and corn. Friends had chorizo, lengua, and a handful of others. Then the non-taco eating friend had the largest chicken tamale I've come across. Turns out this place offered something my friend wanted to try. We were going to order this top one to sample (corn truffle one) but then the server said they can do half that and half of the bottom (squash.) Not my scene, but I did enjoy the corn truffle one more. There was some gelato from Milk & Honey not pictured, before we went to get drinks elsewhere. Well, someone got so drunk (2nd time in her life to get drunk) we had to wait a while for her to recover, so she and I split some ox tail with a side of fried plantains at a Cuban rum bar called Embargo '62. The drinking thread will be updated, but there was a 151 soaked crouton that was in a beverage we shared... It was technically consumed. But served its purpose well in the moments leading up to its demise. Great bloody day. **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

I watched all of Limitless (the series.) I really enjoyed it, and hate it only got one season, but it did get one full season. It was silly at times, but played to its charms for much of it. I hope Netflix buys it to relaunch one day, as it has Dexter's sister in it, and brought back warm fuzzies. **BRENT**

T$, I bought a Blu R1 HD for 60$ from Amazon. See if you can get it same day'd or overnighted to your hotel. Worst case, most carriers have cheaper "burner" phones (under 200$) that you could pick up when you get in. Which provider again? **BRENT**

I <3 all of you guys! **BRENT**

Pretty sure this is a hoax, which has come up twice in the past 10 months. **BRENT**

Heh, we'll have to dig deep both physically and fiscally to make the century, but if I do it, I'll do it! **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Thanks so much, guys! Xavier is so excited that he's beating me already He was quick to point out that my mom donated to me, but not him. I figured some of you may enjoy. **BRENT**

So next weekend I think we're going to give this whole "d-_-b Family Tidal Plan" thing a shot; anyone else want in? **BRENT**

Hey everyone! My son Xavier and I have been training this year, riding hundreds of miles on the roads and the trainer, to prepare for the 2016 Tour de Cure! We hope you will support us in our efforts to help wipe out diabetes! This is my 4th year doing this ride, and Xavier's 3rd. With Xavier's new road bike this year, he wanted to push a bit further on the ride. If we meet our goals, we're going to do the 40 mile route. If we hit a combined 2900$ - representing the 29 million people living with diabetes in the U.S. - we will do a metric century! If we stretch and hit 5000$ combined, we will do our best to do the *gulp* full century ride. Xavier's page Brent's page For a little added incentive, my team (BlueCrossBlueShield of Tennessee) is doing a drawing for a Haro Flightline One bike. Every 5$ is one entry, with 5 for 20$. If one of you wins it, we'll figure something out. Thanks for looking, Brent

Why didn't you post this days ago? Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Xavier and I did a 25.75 mile training ride today. My Garmin was set for run instead of bike and I missed a bit, but we averaged almost 14mph with the first 8-10 at a 17mpg avg. We couldn't hang with my friend on her tri bike training for an Ironman, but Xavier killed it today! **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

It's what CEOs want, obviously. **BRENT**

FYI: Whois shows that site registered in Texas in 2011, and there are awards dating to 2012. I'm pretty sure it's a different Naaman, somehow. I mean, if it's him, I'm sure he will rue the day we weren't there for the soft opening. **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Heh. Blocked at work for being a "malicious site." **BRENT**

Jack White got fairly emotional starting at the 2 minutes mark during "You've Got Her In Your Pocket", which is one of my fav White Stripes songs. I didn't know this was out, but between this and the new Wilco, I may have to buy some vinyl for the first time in a few months. **BRENT**

Got in the mood for some burgers and fries. After two stores and an hour and a half shopping, I didn't feel like it last night, so amazing lunch it is. May as well do it right. Boar's Head yellow cheddar Boar's Head white cheddar Halfway through the 6oz (exactly) S-V/125°/cast iron seared burger, I realized I wish I could still eat a ton, because I wanted that spare one i made. Zoë thought the ~fries were good, but not as good as my mom's. Not bad praise from a teenage girl, especially as she's more of a fry-in-the-oven than a peanut-oil-in-fryer kinda gal. Xavier loved them and the burger, which is awesome. For a first time sous-vide cook, I'm super happy with it. The fries wound up being a lot better than the usual frozen fair and weight wise, even the organic is a hair cheaper than the frozen stuff we usually get, and those can be prepped while fryer is warming up. Great use of 2+ hours today. Now it's nap time. **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Dig that, Carl. Here's a link to the collection if you wanted to take a look. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/capitol I forgot how expensive C&B is. One of these days I need to look into not being poor; I kinda dig some of that stuff. It also makes the actual vinyl they sell seem STUPIDLY cheap. **BRENT**

Have you seen them live? Highly recommended. **BRENT**

Tom has a fantastic vinyl collection, and while he may have a DAC or a CDP laying around, he's almost all vinyl. I always enjoyed chilling in the listening room in Atlanta, and would love to make it up to VA. Perhaps one day. **BRENT**
