  1. And I'm with you on this!
  2. My 2ยข - it's a good show, not a great one. I enjoyed it quite a bit for the first few years but Meghan Markle and Sarah Rafferty, despite their considerable charms, were not able to sustain my interest.
  3. Great pics as usual Jeff. I was hoping to go to the local C&C with Andrew but family plans came up so we're going to try again sometime soon.
  4. All washed and shiny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I'm over halfway through the 10hrs already and have a work trip (driving) this week that'll probably allow me to get through the rest comfortably so I should be ok.
  6. I'm boycotting anything related to the movie until I finish the (audio)book.
  7. Those are actually cinnamon chip scones. Chocolate chip versions get made occasionally but both Maura and I are cinnamon fiends so these are the standard fare when scones are made. Both go well with bacon (but what doesn't?!??!).
  8. Google says it's someone that acts as a parent but isn't. In this case my bet is that it's something akin to a godparent.
  9. Based on advice from a friend I started The Martian the other day. I'm actually listening, rather than reading, and I think this might be the perfect way to experience this book. There's so much tone and inflection required (the primary narrator/character is a sarcastic sonofabitch) and it is frequently laugh out loud funny. I'm about 30% in and very interested to see where they take it. It's being released in film form later this year I think and I can't imagine how they managed the transition.
  10. I started Sense8 last night. Interesting first episode. Friends have built this up to be quite the show so I'm hopeful that I haven't gotten my expectations up too high.
  11. Step 2 now underway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Step 1 for how to start the weekend on a good note. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sherlock

    Brett was the quintessential Holmes, I grew up watching that series and have fond memories. But I also enjoy the heck out of Cumberbatch's Holmes and don't think that there's a need to disparage one in support of the other.
  14. To me, at best, it screams unnecessarily complex. At worst I think Steve's probably got it right and it'll be $1M of funding wasted.
  15. you are now speaking foreign language.
  16. Nice Dan. I did the commute back and forth to work today. The afternoon was supposed to be hot but actually wasn't too bad. Both trips felt good.
  17. I prefer the Omega band by a large margin. Specifically what I don't like about the Hirsch is what appears to be a large yellow reveal on the side of the strap. Too much for an accent, in my book.
  18. This, many times over.
  19. Use 9DW-1-YEB9E to get $40 off (each) Michelin Pro4 Service Course tires at Steep and Cheap. I just grabbed two @25mm and the total with shipping was $67. Pretty timely since my existing tires are shagged and cracking. In other news I made it out for a good 24miler yesterday and was surprised to feel half-decent and not be terribly slow considering how little I've ridden this year.
  20. Happy Birthday, Birgir!
  21. I watched the first episode the other night and thought it was really good.

    Top Gear

    From where I sit I think they went out in pretty good order. The last episode in particular had me in stitches. I'm hopeful, but doubtful, that the three of them will get together elsewhere to do something. Right now, it's like an athlete retiring way too soon...
  23. Can't say that I've tried an SSD with the touch but it might be worth it. I'm just not sure if you can set it up without network access..
