New War On Drugs Album. I am a big fan of this guy.

Bernzomatic ts8000. I will be happy to take suggestions!

Oh, I also bought a Searzall to play with but still need to get some propane bottles. [emoji91][emoji91][emoji91][emoji243][emoji243][emoji243]

Nice! I went the other way around tonight. Ribeyes at 265 degrees indirect on the grill until they hit 115 internally, then seared in a very hot skillet. Came out medium rare with a nice thick crust. Sorry no internal pix, I was hungry ...

I've never got the hang of that.

A further palate cleanser I came across recently, which instantly joined the Grail List. F.P. Journe Octa Calendrier in platinum with a black mother of pearl dial. They only made a dozen or so. The way it catches the light!

Like the look. It jazzes up the fairly austere (not that that's a bad thing) dial. Key for me with those sort of bracelets is does it grab/pull your arm hairs? If so I usually find myself gravitating back to a strap.

Next level baller!

What they said. Multi zones great if you want to keep both reds and whites at proper serving temps. Next consideration is capacity -- how many bottles do you plan to accumulate? Followed by budget/price. I think the WE unit you posted looks decent. Vinotemp is arguably better quality but quite a bit more money, too.

Breakfast. Two pounds of ancho chili flank steak. Some eggs (I like them hard.*) (*Giggety.)

Barca look in a shambles this year. You will walk La Liga. Should have kept this guy ...

Under counter? Free standing? There's lots of good options. http://www.vinotemp.com https://www.winecoolerdirect.com

Is there an A$AP Shitty, or does that just go for all of them?

Obligatory.

Big TIDAL app update and now their top recs for me are Jay-Z and some likely young chap called A$AP Ferg. So, yeah, right in my wheelhouse then.

I'm sure you can't wait to visit!

New Premier League season is off and running. Not a great start for the champions with injuries, suspensions and transfer disappointments but today was well worth getting up early on the West Coast. What a free kick from Marcos Alonso, who also scored the winner at the death. https://streamable.com/s/fsop2/xxsfzd Elsewhere, Man U starting very strongly after Chelsea inexplicably sold them Nemanja Matic, just the defensive midfielder they were missing. Man City spent a small country's military budget on fullbacks to try and shore up their defense. Arsenal look poor, Spurs haven't done much in the off season. Much as I hate to say it, my guess is it's the two Manc clubs duking it out at the end. Chelsea weren't able to add the squad depth they'll probably need this season to compete at home and in the Champions' League.

Disclaiming the anime content, this is an absolutely sparkling power pop song. Al's fault for getting me thinking about Matthew Sweet again.

I bet he doesn't!

Planning to start doing more hiking and biking. Looking for a multi-activity watch (wrist computer?). A bit of Googling seems to suggest the Garmin Forerunner 935 (cheaper, lighter and anecdotally better GPS performance than the Fenix 5 series). I known some of you here like Suunto as well. Any experiences to share?

Happy birthday!

I wish! It was just meant as a palate cleanser. [emoji6]

Every day this thread strays further from the light of God's love.

Feels more like Hopkins. Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend With thee; but, sir, so what I plead is just. Why do sinners’ ways prosper? and why must Disappointment all I endeavour end? Wert thou my enemy, O thou my friend, How wouldst thou worse, I wonder, than thou dost Defeat, thwart me? Oh, the sots and thralls of lust Do in spare hours more thrive than I that spend, Sir, life upon thy cause.
