  1. The cooler weather has brought an end to rattlesnake season and the beginning of deer season.
  2. Yesterday actually. Drove Mary and Emily to the airport for their flight to SFO to search for available/affordable apartments in Pacific Heights. Emily starts her job on Monday as a clinical Pediatrics Speech Therapist so a new chapter in her life begins. The airport round trip took over four hours. The same time it would take to drive from LA to San Diego.
  3. Happy Birthday Andrew! I will drink a really expensive bottle of Cabernet in your honor tonight, and again tomorrow, and again...
  4. ...and you thought a harmonica was a music instrument for kids Toots Thielemans not withstanding.
  5. May I recommend- https://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/collections/semi-automatic/products/rocket-espresso-mozzafiato-timer-type-v-espresso-machine?_pos=5&_fid=9f69afb02&_ss=c And what will you be serving in the gun shop?
  6. No more Olympics to watch so back to snake catching. The best I can tell it is just under a meter in length. I will take him for a one-way canyon ride tomorrow and toss him into the bush.
  7. Quite the gourmet you are there. Make sure you hydrate a lot, multiple liters of water per day. Being dehydrated can cause low blood pressure which causes dizziness and well you can probably guess the rest.
  8. Small earthquake just now...anyone know what Brent is doing?
  9. Sorry Steve, the pole is currently employed as a snake stick.
  10. Not clear. Are you looking for replacements for these? I might have a few stashed somewhere in my garage.
  11. So you are now celibate?
  12. Happy Birthday Todd!
  13. Happy Birthday!
  14. Cheering on the people we know in Paris. On the left, our friend and Lance's former coach. The gold medal fencer on the right is "Greg" Cheung. Most importantly, both men like my tri-tip BBQ and 12-hour short rib tacos. Little known Olympic fact...
  15. Vivian, the Hong Kong Epee fencer and our friend's athlete takes gold. It's a pretty awesome feat since the French fencer is very talented.
  16. Happy Birthday Antonio!
  17. Greyhamer's innuendo skills are not to be trifled with.
  18. Tomorrow starts fencing and we have a personal link to many coaches and fencers. Our friend and Lance's former coach is there with the Hong Kong team and another friend is the Italian team coach. We know a few Olympians from Italy, France Hungary and Hong Kong and will be cheering them on. In the olden days, the coaches had been over for BBQs and to polish off a few cases of our wine while the fencers seemed to enjoy the tri tip and 11-hour braised short rib tacos. Great memories...
  19. Yeah, me too, even when I was training for triathlons. Impressive stats!
  20. Nothing more disturbing than sitting in one's back yard sipping a nice Grand Cru, enjoying the scenery then having an intruder slither uncomfortably close by. It kind of ruins the vibe... I hope this does the trick tomorrow.
  21. Happy Birthday, Jose!
  22. Happy birthday! Enjoy your birthday Rjómapönnukökur, or Spam, whatever works for you.
  23. Happy Birthday!
  24. Not sure about this new menu item.
