Happy day near your actual birthday Ari (assuming that it is near your actual birthday)! Cheers!

Finished the porch and it simply looks like it did before, just better built, clean, well painted, waterproof, solid and safe.

I did get healthy whiff of Coalinga and decided to press on rather than stop in its midst.

Half way to LA. SDSU pickup tomorrow

I wasn't very focused on the Sharks this year but it's still a bummer they're out. Oh well, maybe next year. Again.

We saw Ry Cooder and Rosanne Cash play Johnny Cash songs at SFJAZZ tonight and I am a better person for it. We also met Rosanne in the green room, but not Ry, sadly. Here is Claire, her sister and sister's girlfriend with American Country Royalty.

That's quite a slogan...

A stupid one?

I didn't think the Sharks had a chance after the first game and the quick 2-0 lead in game two. Should be entertaining and they clearly want to scrap at any opportunity.

Andytown at home

RIP El Diablo. Condolences to you and your family Todd.

Panda Express? Armistead would be rolling over in his grave if he were dead.

l cooked Steak a la Stoneham at my dad's tonight. Horace Stoneham was the NY Giants owner who brought the team to SF 60 years ago. My oldest brother came over for dinner and we watched the game while having dinner. My dad took him to the second ever MLB game on the west coast 60 years ago this week. Stoneham got Alfred's Steakhouse -- still in operation -- to make this dish and they added it to their menu. My dad has been copying it ever since. It is strips of steak tossed with spices and flour and fried up with some parsley, green onions and sherry. I'll post the "recipe" if anyone wants it, but it is mostly ingredients and methods but no quantities. Tasty stuff that reminds me of my childhood.

That guy doesn't appreciate it when your followers "like" your posts so I lolled instead.

@justfuckingup You're really going to lecture me on posting etiquette when the majority of your whopping 16 posts on this forum involve you sniping at people, defending yourself for your sniping and trolling, or else telling the administrator to go ahead and ban you? I feel quite confident in my understanding of the norms here. It seems like you are the one who would feel better about yourself by fucking off out of here.

RIP Carl Kasell of NPR and Wait, Wait fame. Fuck Alzheimers https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/17/obituaries/carl-kasell-dies.amp.html

Didn't you beg to be banned? Are you sticking around just to be cunty?

How about justshuttingup?

Oh yeah, RIP Gunny Lee.

RIP Harry. RIP Milos Forman. RIP Barbara Bush.

It is a very good question, but he's used to fitting a lot into a small space. Or so he says. BTW, here's my role in the shop tonight: Lap Dog Lap

And who are you again?

You just don't care about the rest of us, do you?

It stopped raining long enough to take a couple of pics of the beams we replaced. I'm especially psyched about the LVL that replaced a completely rotten beam perpendicular to the house. And now we've turned into an electronics shop with Dr. Luvdunhill building the crossovers for Otis's speakers.
