CAPE

Another 'wind' day. Second only to heat around here. 50 degrees and May sun would feel really nice without the 35 mph gusts.

Nah. Its cold chasing rain, as usual.

35 here.

He will improve with some practice.

Probably how it will go. I was not overly impressed with his play tbh, and think there are younger guys who could step up and do the job for less money. But it wont matter if they have to take a hit to get rid of him.

Not much of a whiskey/bourbon person, but this Jefferson's small batch is smooth and pleasantly sweet. Pretty good stuff. On par with Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve. All subjective ofc. Knob Creek small batch is normally my go to for bourbon.

I am not much on crust, so thats how I would cut it lol. My mom makes an awesome punkin' pie with rum and crushed pecans for a crust.

ET one and done with the Ravens? Maybe.

I had a Goose Island IPA, now a glass(or 2) of red wine. I think I will end up with a Jefferson's small batch on the rocks at some point.

Wind picked up suddenly with this shower rolling through. Temp dropping quickly- from 65 to now 58.

Our climo ensures it lol.

They really are bomb. I was shocked the first time I tried them. A tad pricey, but worth it if you don't want to make them yourself.

Hard to beat these. Even my mom, who is a great cook, uses them when she doesn't have the time. Y'all can go ahead and drag me now.

Looks like there are still some pretty significant differences among the guidance on rainfall amounts/specific location for the region. Generally looks like the heaviest will be in the northern third, but some Mesos have another max on the coastal plain.

Model snowfall maps are always wrong. Still looks like a coating to a couple inches for the western highlands. I mean, it is May.

^hot take

@mappy Finally watched the Westworld finale. Overall I was not overly impressed by the last 2 episodes. However, the after the credits scenes in the finale were pretty epic. I hope the game gets upped a bit for next season. I was totally into this season early on- and how different it was- but then I kinda got a bit bored with the 'story line' as the season went on.

I have been there a couple times recently. You can walk in but they have the counter right at the entrance, and they go and get whatever you want. Ofc you have to know what you want lol. Town and Country is doing basically the same thing. Not sure about ordering ahead but I would assume so.

It is pretty easy to simply not engage those who you think may be "derailing" the thread. Another option is ignore. I was a big proponent of having the COVID thread- I pushed for it and Mappy agreed to start it. I only engaged occasionally, but that's because I was able to keep informed to the level I required without discussing it all day long, and frankly I have other things to occupy my time. I understand that to some it is an interesting topic worthy of investing significant time to discussion, however. Having a dedicated thread also kept it from dominating banter.

The Ravens should sign AB. Whats a little more drama?

Bit of an update on the Earl Thomas thing.. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2020/05/07/earl-thomas-wife-arrested-gun-brother-baltimore-ravens/3088413001/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=usatodaycomsports-topstories eta- Nina Thomas told police she used Snapchat to track Earl to the rental home, brought two other women with her, and found her husband and his brother in separate bedrooms with two other women. according to ESPN. @Baltimorewx No brotherly orgy apparently.

I made my beer run. Decently restocked for now.

If I could squeeze out 2 more tenths, I would be at an inch here for the season. That would move the futility ranking from first, to first.

Today is perfection for this time of year imo. 64, full sun, and a nice breeze. Hell its perfection any time of the year.

On another (more important) topic, I need to make a beer run today. I have none! Very urgent situation here.
