I love how the baby is front and center.

That's outta sight!

That doesn't surprise me. I was thinking about coming down for an open water swimming event at the end of the month and hotels are all at least $250/night.

Well that's interesting. I figured everywhere would still be a total shitshow. Anyone else seeing something similar to Kevo?

I certainly know a lot more people who have gotten Covid in the last couple weeks than at any time previously, and for almost all of them this is their first time getting it. It wouldn't surprise me...

I think if you've got the money to buy it you've probably got the money to fix it up. Location, location, location....

I also have a KitchenAid and have zero complaints so far. So quiet I've opened it a few times not knowing it was running. We've probably had it 6-7 years now.

Yes, agreed :)

Just heard from a friend of mine that he had Covid about three weeks ago and got it again last week. I wouldn't have thought you could get it twice within a month.

A shocking number it would seem.

Maybe they figure if they wanted to have a party where THEY had to clean up afterward they'd have it at their own house.

No, there is. I've always used the non-mobile website.

I saw someone point out that it seems like all these "let's go Brandon!" types who constantly bitch and moan about the current price of gas and everything else somehow seem to have the money to buy...

Here's one for those who feel the Aspen house is a bit pricey:...

New flooring project well underway. One room down, three more to go (plus a hallway). It's not all that difficult, but it is time-comsuming.

I feel like I've been to Bellingham a fair bit and I'd never heard of most of the places the author suggested, which seemed a bit strange.

I've been digging Helles lagers lately. They seem to be quite popular this summer and I can understand why. Fairly light and refreshing without too much hop bitterness. I'm drinking a pFriem Helles...

It's the GOTOS equivalent of pitching a tent in your backyard.

Ginger is now the only castaway that's still alive and she's 88. Poor Mary Ann died from Covid.

Pretty much. Bottled water annoys me.

Hey Ted, did you see the New York Times just did a story about how awesome Bellingham is to visit? I'm sure all the Bham locals are stoked to have that exposure! :)

Um, wasn't that the idea?

Sundance is playing a Gilligan's Island marathon right now. I was just thinking about what an epic snub it was for the original intro wording being "...and the rest" rather than the professor and...

Have you ever noticed the only USPS employees that seem happy are the mail carriers who are out delivering on foot? The people who actually work the desks, etc. are the archetype for apathetic...

Wife went there a couple weeks ago for something. Beforehand she noted the aisle and bay and that it was in stock. Gets there and of course it's nowhere to be found. Finds an employee who tells her...

Nice, My wife and I are replacing the carpeting in our entire second floor with vinyl laminate and it's so much thinner than the carpet we'll also be replacing all the baseboards, too. Still trying...

Is it possible to like anyone with the name "Brody?" Come on!

I say hang 'em if they got this money fraudulently, but not sure why we should assume that's the case. Gleich to at least some extent relies on travel (e.g. her Everest trip) for her business. She...

Now four for four for me on negative tests. Starting to feel (knock on wood) that I may be out of the woods.

I've been enjoying this one that I bought at Costco. Not sure I'd really call it "dank," although it does have a resinous hop character that gives it a lasting bitterness. I feel like you're either...

In general I think watching a video can be far more helpful than written instructions. Yeah, there are shitty videos, but they can be very helpful.

Entertainment is tangible. Ask Disney, for example. Hell, ask TGR. Not sure why Gleich et al are somehow different.

What's a POW influencer?

A water tower with water damage?

Yeah, I've used my dishwasher with rinse aid and without and I can't tell the difference. I'm sure well water would be a different ballgame.

My wife is still dealing with Covid. As she said if she didn't know about Covid she'd just think she had a bad cold. Her symptoms first started on Sunday, so she's six days into it. I've taken three...

^ That is awesome.

Yeah, that sounds suspicious. Are you sure it was the official site? Anytime I look up something about passports, etc. I see lots of commercial sites posing as official government sites.

The NCAA is such a joke at this point.

Proto-yacht rock.

Should be in the "annoying" thread, but it's annoying there are two very different wheeled conveyances called "scooters."

There was a discussion about Roe v. Wade being overturned on my company's internal discussion board, basically someone saying how can she work for a company that doesn't support women's rights? There...

Yeah, you see quite a few in Whistler, too. Not sure why there would be anything shady about it and it makes more sense to me than having lots of vacation homes that sit empty for the majority of the...

Luckily she is. She just finished up a big job and now has a couple days off.

Dammit, wife just got a positive rapid test. Well we had a good run. :(

I'm sure she was trying to get it in quickly, so used cursive since it's quicker, but unfortunately for her it can also be sloppier.

And I definitely use cursive if I have to hand write anything...

True. I don't think Foggy Goggles purchased a yacht, though.

I'll admit it rankles a bit to think that people may have been using these loans--and my tax dollars--for things that weren't actually...

Here's the Wikipedia entry on allowable uses for the loaned PPP money: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paycheck_Protection_Program#Allowable_use_of_loan_proceeds

I don't see anything about yachts. :)
