¡Feliz cumpleaños belatedos! I hope you had a fabulous day Antonio. Cheers! :Dan:

Strategery!

Didn't Jim predict France would take the final? ? Vive la France!

Now I know what to tell Santa this year! Thanks Knucks!

I'm feeling good about France's chances, although I mostly wanted to say that because of the rhyme. Allez les Bleus!

Nice! I had some awesome poutine with duck confit on top yesterday at Duckfat. Great duck fat frites and brisket panini too.

Happy birthday! Cheers :Dan:

Happy birthday Mike! Hope it has been a great one! Cheers! :Dan:

Happy birthday Viking Baker! Cheers! :Dan:

Seal of approval

I understood that you were praising Birgir and attacking some douche who was on this forum for a hot minute five years ago. I don't think anyone attacked you at all -- at least not a true Head-case bitch slap -- and Wink just makes bad jokes. Stick to pork belly futures because you obviously can't hack it here.

About as nuts as unearthing a five year old thread and arguing with a ghost about a dead company.

Have a grape birthday, Greg! Cheers! ?

Allez les Bleus!

No, I am the Defender of the Universe.

Are you a cop?

Triggered by the passing of the other Joe Jackson?

Happy birthday kid! Cheers! :Dan:

Sorry Özgür. That sucks

Oh damn. I guess Jake is trying to get the band back together again. RIP MGM

Happy birthday Gramps! Cheers! ?

He's a talented dude. Hope you enjoy the show.

I knew the douche was strong with this one. IP ban seems right (ironic name given his theft of something else with those initials).

I know you're joking, but the cop said from the very beginning that we were not in violation of the noise ordinance. He came because they were so many calls so quickly and he wanted to know what was going on. Two of the "neighbors" were people I've never seen before and one of them drove down from the street above trying to figure out where the racket originated. We had planed enough boards to get to work and it was clearly incredibly loud, so I told them to put down their pitchforks and torches and agreed to stop the noise. I meant to respond to this earlier. We originally planned to leave the Ipe unfinished and let it silver, but when I tried teak oil and T&T that I had on hand on some scraps it was obviously worth applying something. I considered spar varnish but wanted to keep it simple. And in fact, I also had in mind your earlier comments about encasing natural wood in plastic coatings. I'm hoping I can just reapply the oil every year without a hard finish but I'd still consider adding spar varnish after vacation if that would last longer.
