1. Went to an international beer festival on Saturday, and had a wonderful afternoon in the warm sunshine. Saw two t-shirts that made me laugh, the first being this one:



The second being this one:


except the one I saw didn't have the picture of the keg, just the phrase.

2. Went to a couple's wedding reception on Saturday night and ran into the ex-friend that dissed me in a not-so-nice way a few years ago (see the thread about ex-friends from a month or so ago). Surprisingly, I didn't feel anything when I saw her, but she had packed on a few pounds so I felt quietly superior.

3. Went on a training ride Sunday with some friends in the 92 degree heat. Made me glad I purchased a camelback a year ago as I was constantly in need of water. Note to others: The hill on Ten Eyck Road going into Sandy, OR is a BITCH!

our puppy is getting better and has gained enough strength to attempt to play fetch

I do not like people who wear sunglasses on their head during rehearsal dinners, church services, and wedding receptions. Especially those who do it two days in a row to said events at NIGHT.

I think our new Vet is trying to gouge us for everything we've got.

riding the subway in la is very interesting...

Very old people cannot even begin to comprehend an iPod.

Yanks beast the Sox 3 of 4, and are .5 games out.

The stomach flu is horrible any way you look at it.

we have had this dog for 2 weeks and he's cost us about $3,200 so far

Especially if they are wearing a fucking croakies thing, and maybe they have the glasses on the back of their neck.

I dodged a bullet and was *this* close to getting and OUIL.
Lesson learned. Don't take a cell phone call when you're sitting in a running car in a parking lot after you've had a few. Cop VERY easily could've brought the hammer down on me.

God. Croakies.

I think I'm gonna get some Kurt Rambis style Rec-Specs and just rock them at work.

My pup is cheap and healthy. She doesn't bark at all, I wish she'd let me know if she needed anything.

Patron makes a coffee tequila. I'm highly recommending it.

I'm glad to hear it, Phil, but wait until your dog gets to be geriatric. It's one problem after another. Uda currently has kidney issues, high blood pressure and hypothryoidism.

Steve

I hope Uda feels better. I hope Kerri's pup feels better too. I'm just grateful that Sadie's doing o.k., knock on wood.

this will ease your pain Steve. Trust me.

Now that's an idea.

No this douchebag didn't have frat straps. He had something like this on top of his head. At the rehersal dinner (of course he had to be at my table) I thought "it's night time and indoors and we're wearing suits, but I'll give you the benefit of the considerable doubt." Then we showed up at the wedding with the same glasses still on top of his hair. We went to a bar after the wedding, and one of the girls took them off his head, and he got pissed. Had the "nobody touches my sunglasses"look. And I did sing Corey Hart often,loudly and proudly.

Dammity!


Cutting countertops at a 45 degree angle with nothing more than a hand-held circular saw and some plywood as an edge guide is something I never want to have to do again in my life. But I did a good job... it just takes about 3 hours to properly set up each of the 2 cuts.

I'm thinking you need to ball MBA school and start a career in carpentry.

Not sure what it worse, wearing these on your face, or wearing them on your hand. just fucking stop it.

The funny thing about croakies is, I shit you not, you see 40 year old men wearing them downtown at lunch, in suits and shit.

I

Awesome.

If it'd been even slightly fun, maybe. Trouble is, I used to work with a friend making furniture, and homey had every gigantic nice shop tool money could buy... 4hp 240-V 3-phase tablesaw, 18-in bandsaw, etc etc. So I look at my rigged-as-hell "sawhorses," my Porter Cable 7 1/4 circular, and the piece of plywood clamped on the work surface, and just grab another high life. But damn if I didn't kick its ass.

baby room paint primer on. i still have some on me. painting a room is f*cking work.

also played texas [whatever lingo] poker. of 7 players, i was the 3rd to lose all their chips. ($10 entry fee. guy with most chips at end wins that pot of $70.) then my wife talked me into buying back in while the game was still going. almost won. Just needed to figure out the game strategy and who 'round the table bluffs and how often.

Visiting NYC this weekend almost made me want to move there.



I think Cyclops from the X-Men wears the same things.

No shit.
