The weather didn't cooperate in my neck of the woods. Kept looking for the moon, but it never made an appearance through the clouds during totality last night.

I could get behind her cause.

I just watched the first three episodes of the new Kids in the Hall on Amazon Prime. Some pretty funny moments. Fans of the original will enjoy it.

Visit to the nursery today. Flowers prices seem to be up like everything else. Serious sticker shock.

Well, The Damned beat both of them

I've been up once in March and once in April and didn't get the random test either time (my wife either).

This holds up.

It was, yes. Not overwhelmingly smoky, but tasty.

Has it been discussed yet whether "thrad" in the title was intentional or not?

So delicious. The last two breweries I've visited (Chuckanut and Ravenna) have had a rauchbier on tap. I thought that was a bit strange because you don't see them that often. Maybe they're starting...

Yes, definitely lucked out on the weather!

Yesterday was my birthday, so nice timing. Got there early and downed two happy hour beers before noon, too. :fm:

I finally got my rower fixed. It definitely wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but now that I know how to do it I could make the repair again in about 15 minutes. Is that how these things go?

Played hooky yesterday and went to the Mariners game. Mariners lost, but great day for a game. Definitely beat working.

They could have just offered all lab employees free coffee. Win-win!

Update: this is exactly what happened. Guy comes in with just a wrench. Starts it up and say "yep, doesn't work." Also managed to scratch our dryer with his wrench. Bottom line is they're now...

So you're saying Covid's just not cool anymore?

I picked up a four pack of 500 ml cans of Dry Hop'd Zwickl, a collaboration between Bitburger and Deschutes at Costco last week. Pretty tasty "lawnmower beer" and the price is right at under $6.

I like the show much better with Ken hosting than Mayim. I'll still watch, but I won't really care too much if I miss episodes with her hosting.

I also would never say that Alex Trebek was bland....

That's some dedicated camera work. At no point did this guy think "huh, maybe I should take cover now?"

What about the creepy religious picture? At least I'm assuming that's what that is. Looks like our pal Jeebus in the center.

America's roast beef, yes sir!

I'm sure I've eaten at Arby's before, but it had to have been at least 30 years ago. I think in general fast food is best avoided.

Early SUV?

Ken might know it, but the contestants don't. They randomly pick from some number of question sets before each episode. The contestants are also randomly chosen (other than the champ, obviously) from...

I noticed there was some activity in this thread yesterday and suspected Mattea might have lost, but I certainly wasn't going to look at is until after I'd seen the show.

Is DJ an official title like Dr. now?

Totally forgot about the Jackson part of the airport name, hence biffed tonight's Final Jeopardy. I couldn't come up with anything.

Nope, nothing obstructing the end of the drain hose and nothing in the instructions indicating there's any kind of plug that needs to be removed. The drain house doesn't need to be connected. It...

My wife and I were up till 5:00 am last night because she wanted to paint and install new flooring in our laundry room before our new washer and dryer were delivered at 7:30 am this morning. Guys...

Yeah. I don't expect constant warmth and sunshine this time of the year, but this is getting a bit ridiculous.

Check his pockets for green room meat.

I was being serious and not facetious. Dude was a bra salesman. It's the perfect excuse to size up women's boobs.

Sweet. That's the ultimate excuse.

This is so awesome I might have to start using it, too.

Yeah, just pick a word with a couple vowels and commonly used consonants and go with it. There are plenty to choose from.

Love that last one. An American classic.

Another from the "only a chateau will do" camp:

Same for me. Also I like to vary the starting word. Too boring starting with the same one every day.

I'm sure most of them really appreciated knowing he was sizing up their tits.

Nice guessing, old goat. I had an easy day, too:

Wordle 319 2/6

I've found them to be at least as likely to fuck you over as anyone.

All this says is that warmer air is less dense than colder air, thus the colder air "sinks" in relation to the warm air, so yes, it might be very slightly warmer at ceiling level than floor level,...

I'll try it. Thanks!

No, that's the Play Store. Google Play was the former Android app for playing music and videos.

I have Amazon, but I don't think it will play device files. Streaming music is great and all, but...

Yes, and you have to pay for it if you don't want ads. I shouldn't need to listen to ads when I play music I actually own (unless that's not the case for device files--I don't currently use Spotify).

There used to be an Android audio app on my phone to play music that was on the device (Google Play?). A year or two ago that went away and was replaced by YouTube Music. For a while that allowed me...

Just saw a Rivian truck for the first time. Parked just a few blocks from my house.

And some people are probably better off having a car that doesn't have a spare. How many times have you seen...

I'm having trouble keeping up, So Bunny got a temporary timeout and that's the thing that prompts him to delete a bunch of threads and vamoose? He was fine with the years of constant abuse here, but...

Yeah, isn't this just the back story for the kids' book "Flat Stanley?" :)

Yeah, same here.
