Top Gear
Top Gear is back with a new studio, and the old track. Chemistry has had a chance to mature, and the removal of the shouty ginger git is for the best. Automotive prOn with Mr Harris and the FXXK, and a suitably epic old school challenge that didn't feel over scripted / cringeworthy. Value add web/ "Extra" for the car nerds. A solid start ( mark II ). (Even if it is "only" 1080p)

And now what did you do TODAY?
Have had previous bad experiences with Scottish Power (confusing web site, you can pay them electronically, but they only issue refunds by cheque etc etc) Then there's the looming UK "Energy Gap" (having less generation capacity then demand, and long lead times for new builds ... oops, too late) ... Have fun, Craig https://www.imeche.org/news/news-article/closure-of-uk-coal-and-nuclear-plants-to-create-electricity-supply-gap-of-up-to-55-by-2025 (pdf report https://www.imeche.org/docs/default-source/position-statements-energy/imeche-ps-electricity-gap.pdf?sfvrsn=0 ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_Kingdom#UK_.27energy_gap.27

Let me know what you negotiate, so I can undercut Chris with my 970 GTX, because saving money and seeing Chris suffer is a win-win, right Brent?

And now what did you do TODAY?
Yesterday, Jump started the car 3 times with this, After the battery finally failed after 5 years and 10 months, as the starting had become progressively more suspect. Bought a replacement battery. I picked up a couple, after reading up on the Wirecutter, after "someone" managed to flatten a battery by means unknown (probably by leaving a light on, or door/trunk open). Small enough and light weight enough to keep in the car, and get to the battery, if say you have parked nose in, or would otherwise be unable to get a conventional jump start from another vehicle. Handy logic indicator lights in the cable (reminds you disconnect after starting) I'm a believer. Available from Costco https://m.costco.com/Lithium-Jump-Starter-And-Portable-Power-Bank-.product.100312116.html More details from the manufacturer http://winplus.com/usa/products/car-jump-start-portable-power-bank/

In that case, Jeff, you'd be fine with Killing Floor 2 and Titanfall 2. That approach can also be applied to Project CARS

On Bacon
Meanwhile ... http://www.baconandbeerclassic.com/ esp. http://www.baconandbeerclassic.com/santa-clara-bacon-and-beer-classic-2017/ From the FAQ's IS THERE A LIMIT ON HOW MUCH BACON AND BEER IS SERVED? Each brewery will serve 3 ounce samples of two signature beers. Attendees can sample every bacon-infused dish on site. I DON'T DRINK. CAN I STILL ATTEND? Yes, of course! We always provide water, and offer a variety of non-alcoholic beverage options at select venues. hmm...
