All the rain collected in the barrels is water I'm not paying for. Pretty much as simple as that. Of course it would be better if we got rain consistently during the summer, but at least I can...

Pretty crazy. I don't think I've seen an ice beer at all in about 20 years.

Apparently AB was in negotiations with iceman to endorse it, but the deal fell through when they became worried about...

Yeah, do they even make Michelob anymore? I never see it.

What else are we going to talk about in this thread? "Get (nearly) free beer!" has been articulated in post #1.

Agreed. Seems like revisionist history to now say it's all about comments by a Bud marketing exec. The boycott began after the trans person posted on Instagram.

I can't even remember now if they tried to sell me a new card. It seems like something I would have noticed at the time.

Okay, good to know. Morning is probably good for me anyway. Leaves the afternoon to do others activities with the family.

Glacier is pretty awesome. My wife and I went a few years ago in the first week of October. Beautiful fall colors down low and not insanely crowded. It is a bit of a crap shoot, though. I think a...

I'm hoping to ski this Friday at Alpine. The weather forecast looks promising other than the possibility of thunderstorms, which seem pretty common this time of year. A couple questions: I see the...

I don't know. To me it seems like they are more upset about using Dylan Mulvaney than about some AB marketing exec.

Incorrect. This never happened. She never called Bud Light drinkers bigoted assholes. About the worst she said was they're "fratty" and "out of touch." Okay, perhaps not the best way to describe your...

I still want to know why anyone would get pissed that A-B used a trans person to endorse their product. It's funny that these people think it's the liberals who are easily "triggered."

No one...

I've heard of the movie but have never seen it.

The one that unreasonably annoys me is the McDonalds ad where the guy's ordering at the drive-thru and he can't decide what he wants. He's there for maybe five seconds and someone behind him honks....

My other project this summer is hooking up three barrels for collecting rainwater from the gutters. Should have had them installed by now, but we're also painting the house and figured they would not...

I've spent a lot of time and money on flowers this year, so I better have one hell of a display this summer. I've probably filled 20 containers plus quite a few in ground. I don't think I'm going to...

Always nice to see there are fucking morans outside the U.S., too:

Do you qualify as an antique?

Scored a nice six foot teak table with leaves that way last weekend. It's weathered and grey so will need to be refinished, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with it. Free shit is the best shit. :)

Congrats Buzzette!

Correct. You pay for garbage and compost. Recycle is included in the garbage price. Compost and garbage is collected every week. Recycle every two weeks.

It does, yes.

I'm still curious what the experts here think about the low testosterone thing. Like I said, women (usually) have far less of it then men, but are able to workout just as hard if not harder....

In Seattle you can actually get fined for putting recyclables in your trash. Not sure how much it's enforced, but as a general rule people recycle. The city has incentivized this by giving everyone a...

No, he does. T.H. White's book is "The Once and Future King." The problem is it was written in 1958, not the 15th century.

Replacing "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" as #1 in their killer joke repertoire.

Yes, but far less than men. On the order of 1/10 to 1/20th of what men produce.

Me too. I didn't expect them to all miss Mallory. If I was on that stage I would have been absolutely crushed by all three, but at least I have the consolation of knowing both the Final Jeopardy...

If this is true then how do women workout?

Well, shit, I was hoping to wear my Borat swimsuit.

I know this is a gaper question, but what the heck do you wear for a typical lift-served sunny day this time of year? It's a bit outside what I'm used to skiing in the Pacific Northwest. :)

True. Solid strategy.

You mean the Mediterranean Diet isn't about eating people of Mediterranean heritage?

Yes, many of the remains were nearly skeletal.

I was doing some reading today and one of the last cannibalism holdouts ended up dying (even thought he had finally given in, he was eating very...

I just added Nando Parrado's book "Miracle in the Andes" to my library queue. He wrote it in 2006, so with 30+ years to reflect on the events in 1972.

Probably not a lot of new material for those well-versed in the story, but there was a lot I'd forgotten. It was also interesting to hear the actual survivors recount what happened. Both guys who...

Did anyone else catch the 20/20 documentary last night called "Prisoners of the Snow" about the 1972 airplane crash in the Andes and the subsequent amazing survival story? I've been captivated by...

Same idea if you search for "dog."

It's the exact opposite. Mayim won't cross the picket line, thus Ken will be hosting the last week or two of the season. I get it, though. Mayim is a member of SAG and I'm pretty Ken is not. Also Ken...

I'm arriving Thursday, June 1st. Hopefully not a complete zoo then or am I dreaming?

This is a great new song by The Church. About 45 years in and they can still produce some incredible music.

If he decides to change his name to Yusuf Islam I hope you support his decision.

Had the macro lens on my camera yesterday and got this photo of beautiful Sutter.

Yeah, good advice. Save the grocery stop for later.

Are those Aldo Nova cassettes?

Sand Harbor looks pretty rad for kayaking. Would my car be safe parked there? I noticed there's a $15 entrance fee, so I'm assuming it is, but wanted to check.

Yeah, but we're not talking about Top Gear here. We're talking about the government...

Is your room dark enough? I've been waking up early lately because it starts getting light so early coupled with birds starting to sing. I can almost always get back to sleep, but still annoying....

Either that or "sorry, act of God!"
