VPI

Bub & Pop's Beef Brisket w/ fried egg and a side of pickled watermelon, dragon fruit, jalapeños and radish.

Our new CEO played her first round of golf ever at Pebble Beach last week for some corporate thing. She did not do that well.

Right now I have an eight team league as follows: VPI TKAM Biscuit Boy Aura Raffy Nate Shelly Emelius

Yeah Keeper would have to start next year. The PPR was argued by some here for several seasons as I had them at a lower threshold and everyone seemed to want a full point per reception. RBs are standard, there just are no elite RBs anymore so they do not score points, unless they catch out of the backfield. QBs probably need some adjustment. I think some of the yearly bonuses that have been voted in by the leagues have made QBs a bit high in scoring.

Looks like we may get back down to one league this year. We have discussed keeper leagues and auction drafts over the years. Anyone interested in changing things up?

I know you hate it when there are those annoying black bars on the top and bottom so I filmed it the right way just for you. The guitar is awesome and I am glad the lightweight Paulownia did not work out as the Adler has about the perfect amount of heft for me and sounds fantastic on everything I have plugged it in to.

Even took a Brent approved vertical video of Aaron playing it. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qf2zqimlLBI

Picked up the new Telecaster with 68 Kinman noiseless pickups.

Buy a Calfee travel bike.

More food truck food. Cajun Catfish over red beans and rice.

Happy Birthday

This might just be your year Nate.

Too soon for what? I can set the leagues up again now if we want to start a list of who wants to play this year.

Surely you don't mean they are using tricks to make themselves look talented?

You would think so looking at what terrible shape these TV fishermen are in, but evidently they try to catch stuff. I am beginning to wonder if there are scuba divers under water hooking giant fish onto their lines as they never seem to have a cast that does not bring back a fish.

Hoping to work on the fishing and kayaking skills this weekend out on the lake. Anyone here besides Chris have any fishing skills? I have not done it forever but I picked up two St. Croix poles and a Lew's Baitcaster and a Penn Spinning reel that I am still working on some semblance of a usable cast. I did find that I have a full fishing channel on Fios. The hosts are annoying as hell but I have picked up some interesting pointers at least.

Kayaking is really quite fun and an excellent workout. I have gotten most of the gear together to be able to spend some time on the kayak and fish, maybe even tour and camp. Getting it to the water is the most difficult part of it all but the DC area has tons of great places to paddle. I think I am going to go out and paddle the battleship graveyards at Mallows Bay next. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallows_Bay

Wanted to start a thread for those of us that are interested in the water and those things you can do around, under or on it. Not sure if there are a lot of HC'ers that partake but should be a good place to discuss if there are. Video from today's paddle on the Potomac.

Got inspired by Dusty and got food truck Bulgogi Bahn Mi and Shrimp Summer Rolls.

I am surprised that I have not heard that Ari is in town to race in the Brompton National Championships this weekend. You saving yourself for the world's?

Yep

Definitely up for another Lake House Ride. Might even try to the throw the Kayak on the roof for some after ride rowing.

Happy Birthday guys. Beer and solder for everyone!!!

I don't see you on there. I guess Nate or Chris have to accept you into the group.

I imagine with your SACD collection that will be about a 3 week process.
