True enough. 2017 should be an MOA year...

Aren't you getting hazard pay? Put it to good use if you survive!

RIP MTM. A big part of my youth. Sad. RIP Butch. 69 is a cool age for a rock and roll drummer to die, but too young. Fuck 2017, indeed.

Come on Steve, you can distinguish your service men! Happy birthday Catcoon! Cheers!

Only if you want to buy cans of their beer. 11:30am or so would seem to make sense for most people.

You would have liked Roscoe's even more of you actually ate anything. :/

Now I want Mike's dinner from last night plus Dan's from tonight.

RIP Roche. [emoji17]

This kind of comment is why Jim is in Florida and cancelled his NY trip.

Happy birthday brother! Cheers!

Huh? Say it ain't so, Jim.

Looks like a special effects prop finger! Actually, I totally agree that it is healing amazingly well. Good docs and good genes.

I was very successful at being hung over that Sunday. Definitely the worst of my life, before or since.

Good to hear, Jeff! It seems that Other Half starts can sales even earlier on Saturday morning so some of us idiots might be out there by 10:00am. People can catch up along the way for food and/or drink stops. Prime Meats sounds like a great second stop of the day, JP!

Had a jointly prepared meal with Claire's sister and her GF who gave me the Deep Run Roots cookbook, written by the owner of the Chef & the Farmer restaurant. I made the cornpone, collard greens, creamed collard greens and pickled collard stems. Sister in law made Brussels sprouts, apple and pomegranate salad and glazed pork loin over rutabagas and pork belly. Claire made the pecan-chewy pie with chocolate gelato dessert. Great recipes and we marveled that the meal wasn't heavier.

Happy birthday G-Man! Cheers!

Have a mackin' birthday Dr. John! Cheers!

Sorry for your loss, Chris. Does this make you the eldest?

I had some help getting through the storm last night

Power just back on after a couple hours without. A power line went down on our street and kept us in the dark and trapped here -- Frank the Tenant tried to leave and was turned back because PG&E was trying to fix the downed line up the street. Two more drainage clogs resolved after much overflowing. My roast chicken was finished in the Webber and dinner was by candle light. Hopefully we are set for the evening but who knows.

Indeed

Nothing arcy sparky, but I did just get a flash flood warning on my phone that the creek is at flood stage and rising. Not a risk to the house but it can create mobility issues.

I mucked out the Mayberry Slough for the third time this week (at least). https://vimeo.com/198910178

Parker Beam was a true gentleman. I met him at a liquor store and he signed Heritage bottles for me and Naaman, I believe. RIP Parker. And fuck ALS!
