Seems like such an obvious thing, but Claire wants to download her new Wilco music onto her iPhone and listen to it. Post iTunes and on the streaming era I'm not sure what she should do.

RIP Johnny Nash.

RIP EVH. And fuck cancer.

Just happened to see this in an old Fine Woodworking book. I'm up for whatever you want to build.

A little more subtle than the usual sea salt and vinegar chips but the apple part of the vinegar doesn't really come through much.

RIP Reddy and Dan B

My sort of mother in law (Claire's ex step mother and ongoing mother of Claire's half brother) had to evacuate from St Helena yesterday after much debate and delay. I looked at the CalFires map and the Glass Fire is extremely close to their home. There is a small hill between them but it has raged over much taller ones.

Happy birthday fellas! I remembered your birthdays when I because they're on my anniversary and noticed that the birthday fairy, aka Tice, didn't notice! Hope you've had fun today!

Finally made me to Northern Michigan five hours later than planned. Too much time in a mask but hopefully I was not infected because I was very careful and sat in my own row for both flights. 🤞🏼

Got back on the plane after about three hours. Sat longer than expected and then they said there was a new problem being worked on. Apparently that is now fixed and we are leaving again. Soon. Hopefully. All the while in an N95 mask, which makes everything better, of course.

Delta doesn't fill middle seats so most rows had two people in them, and then there were a few empty rows around the wing exit rows. I had a full row to myself after moving up one row. I don't think the bars are open here...

I'm taking my first airline flight since early March, and my airline luck has picked up where it left off. We took off almost right on time even though the flight crew was late to arrive. After flying for a few minutes the captain came on to say that the cabin could not be pressurized properly so we had to turn around. Now back on the ground and not sure if or when we can get going again. My layover is only 90 min and the next/last flight of the day to my destination is five hours later. Fucking airlines are still fucking up.

Reverse sear is definitely my new favorite way to do steak, and I like the idea of smoking to temp. I'll have to try that.

Cheers to many more Jim!

Another reverse seared Ribeye, this time with homemade creamed spinach. Pulled out the steak at 110 degrees and did a quick sear. Plus I feel like I'm at a steakhouse with the bucket of creamed spinach I made. Fantastic.

Sorry for your loss Jose.

Sorry for your loss, Jeff, and I hope your family has a chance to celebrate her long life safely somehow.

Why are my eyes wet?

McConnell is promising a vote before January. We're fucked. RIP RBG, you badass.

The appetizer plates we're incredible and delicious, but man, that prime rib looks amazing!

Amazing setup Jim!

Have a great one up there, Stretch! Cheers!
