I hope you all had a restful weekend. I sold my motorcycle, did a bit of yard work, played a crapload of pool, and took a long walk in the heat. All in all, not too bad of a weekend. A different man — one, perhaps, with skill and tools — might have tried to fix my car. If I were that man, however, it’d probably still be running. So, yeah, I didn’t do that. Life’s got regrets. Not taking auto shop in high school is one of mine.
You know what would help distract me? Looking at her:

I’m not sure, but I suspect that this pose has possibilities.
Pretty sure this isn’t adequate workout gear, but I’m not complaining.
I don’t think we’ve sufficiently touched on the importance of flexibility yet.
My abs still don’t look this good, but they will.
Allrightythen. It’s Monday, folks, so step on up and conquer the day.

Brilliance, once again.
Heh, the last picture reminds me of Gutfeld’s rant on the Five about short people. One of his best:
Dana Perino did her step workout on a Lego.
For anyone that’s wondering, I lost weight throughout Bacon Explosion Weekend.
I plan on losing 2 pounds tonight dancing at the radiohead concert
While they play ‘Freebird’?
How embarrassed is my son going to be to be with me?
He’s rather reserved anyway.
If they played “Freebird” – they’d play the shit out of it, and I’d be dancing to that as well.
I went to a concert with my mom once. It was an Electric Amish concert, though, and I was also there with my first wife.
Matt’s a fan of radiohead as well. Mr Car In didn’t want to send me by myself, and he can’t go (he works tonight).
Gutfeld’s rant on the Five about short people.
Missed that. Rocketboy was pleased to be the tallest person at my uncle’s funeral. I told both kids before we left that they would hear over and over how tall they were.
“Be here at 8:00″ they said.
Sympathies, Scott.
Time for work.
Still waiting?
Mechanic headed out on a “road test” 45 minutes ago.
You just didn’t hear what they said after that, Scott.
YOU “be here at 8:00″, we’ll be ready for you at 8:45.
That’s a long road test. Unless the car broke down.
It was an ambulance. Those require thorough road tests.
A full hour apparently.
I guess the road test includes a full breakfast.
Any of yous people ever grow bush cukes? How many seedlings do I leave on the hill? Do the plants still ramble a bit? Can I leave three, kinda close together or will it make harvest impossible?
I gotta find some of those, laura. I have to grow in a container, now that my garden plot fell through.
That’s what I’m doing, Jay. I didn’t want to take up so much room in the garden for cucumbers that don’t need to be fenced in (bunnies don’t seem to eat cukes).
We had these small plastic rubbish cans lying around left over from a previous project. Scott cut one in half for me and put drain holes in the bottom one. I plopped them both on the lawn outside the garden, put a couple inches of hay in the bottoms, and filled them up with good dirt and my seedlings.
I hope three apiece is not too crowded.
Shit. I just read that woodchucks eat them.
Shit, shit shit.
Scott, please kill Fat Bastard at your earliest opportunity my darling.
Costco run. Who needs something?
I need a pineapple.
That’s it?
Inner peace.
Woodchucks are the devil. I shot sixteen of them on my property one July many years ago. It was my own fault. If I’d have shot the first fucker who showed up that would have been the end of that. But, noooooooo, shooting them is cruel – cruel that is until they start eating the shit out of a woman’s beautiful perennial garden.
Good morning, peeps.
I never cease to be amazed at how well those dudes can tuck.
Inner peace.
How about a jumbo thing of toilet paper instead?

Man, it was hot yesterday. I had planned to weed in the yard all day, but I’m just not cut out for that shit anymore – not when it’s 92º and direct sun.

I think they went to a rubbish tip, Cyn.
…rubbish tip
Is that like a buffet? Or more fancy sit-down stuff with the waiter that uses the crumb scraper and violates your space by putting the napkin in your lap?
I hate those fancy places where the waiter does way too much personal service.
Like that place where they cut your food for you and chew it and spit it into your mouth like a baby bird.
Ridiculous. It’s gone too far, people.
No Cyn, just had a relaxing day in the yard.

Hey everybody!
How was your day? I survived the visit of my crazy brother. . . barely. I’m actually proud of myself as I didn’t hit the bottle while he was here. Guess my determination to lose weight was greater than my need to self-medicate in his presence.
AnyWHOO, just got home and thought I would say, “Hey!”.

You may return to your regularly scheduled session of navel gazing.
Hartford’s population is 125,000 and over the weekend there were 11 shootings. At that rate, all residents will be shot within 68 years.
Did you take the birth/death rate into account Scott?
Good point. 20% of them died. We can probably shoot everyone within 60 years.
all residents will be shot within 68 years.
But some will get shot more than once.
Media outlets are making a big deal out of the 50 shootings in Chicago and 2.7 million people live there. It’s going to take them 300 years.
That kinda puts a heavier tax burden on you to make up the slack, Scott.

We got attacked by a cloud of no-see-ums in the Abacos Islands while waiting at a swampy area for ferry (the flight got cancelled). There was nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide.
I was pretty close to suicidal by the time the ferry arrived.
Scott – Stolen and tweeted.
That’s where I got it.
That cancelled flight was the same remote airport (Marsh Harbor) which resulted in the plane crash the killed Aaliyah. Our flight got cancelled, so they bussed us across the island and dumped us at an infested dock to wait for a ferry.

A recruiter pinged me today on LinkedIn about a job in AA doing AI. Considering I haven’t had a raise in 3 years despite record profitability for the company and exceptional performance on my part, this could get interesting.
Leon, do you program genetic algorithms?
Only academically, Roamy. I’ve done scant AI work professionally.
It’s not applicable to what I do, but Mr. RFH used to do that.
I got pinged by a recruiter a few months ago for a job in CA. Not nearly enough of a raise.
If you’re intrigued by that sort of thing, What is Thought? by Eric Baum is an excellent book on the subject.
I have never been pinged.
You could not pay me enough to live in CA.
Well, maybe you could, but no one would.
I started reading Vanderplaats, did a Barbie (“It’s too hard for me!”) and quit.
Scott, it’s what Linkedin is for. Plaxo, too, but that one always makes me think of mouthwash.
So… SecCommerce had a bit of a fenderbender…
Wasn’t it Obama complaining that Republicans were the ones driving the country into the ditch?
Baum’s writing is fairly accessible. WIT? is somewhere between a pop science book and a philosophy text.
Did I kill it, or is the updating hosed again?
Had to go make dinner. Pork with garlic and a spinach salad. The carb-eaters get corn cakes.
There’s no carbs in corn!
Wait, that’s gluten. Nevermind.
I haven’t had carbs in about 10 days. According to Dr. Oz, I’m dead now.
Leon, you may have saved my life. The spiral of gain weight, get shaky, increase heart meds, feel more tired, move less, gain weight seems to be halted. I’ve lost 10 lbs. since going paleo.
Me either, cept it’s been 2 months for me (limited carb intake).
I’ve lost 10 pounds. I did not find $20
Leon, you may have saved my life.
Bah, I’m just a weirdo guy you know from the innernets that eats a funny diet and won’t shut up about it.
Dave, I’d been higher carb (still mostly paleo) to try and add some mass. Most of the mass gain was good muscle, but I got just a tad doughy in the process. Glad to see it’s working for both of us. I’m going to try and get to abs this time.
I’m not doing any exercise. My friend did that and he ruptured the disc between C6 and C7. Fuck exercise.
…
Ok, maybe I’ll walk some. Anyway, this low carb (it’s just a loose South Beach/Atkins thing) really works for me. I don’t go hungry. I lose weight. Got over the carb cravings in about 3 weeks. 5 years ago or so, maybe 6, I lost 80 pounds (I was WAY too fat then, 287). Over the past several years I gained half of it back, and decided “fuck that shit. I ain’t goin back there).
I have a great sixpack. Unfortunately, it’s hidden inside the pony keg that is my stomach.
Well, paleo beats the hell out of fake sugar that gives me headaches, measuring or weighing every damn thing, and not enjoying eating.
See, I’m stuck in this cycle where I eat lightly and start to lose weight while trying to get “cut”, but then my lifts start to stagnate or regress and so I start eating big again, and my weight drifts back up.
I’ll be tweeting here. Opening act . Not bad. I may go get a beer.
That it does, Roamy. If my biggest food issue is eating to get stronger or eating to get leaner, and I can just choose one or the other without any real difficulty (other than my conflicting goals), it seems obvious that there’s something to it.
Dave, it’s often easier to lose weight if you don’t exercise. Exercise drives hunger. It also improves insulin sensitivity, though, so it does have a place. If just losing weight is the goal, walking is perfect.
The light show may send me into a seizure.
Suddenly, C arin’s Radiohead updates seem a lot more interesting for some reason.

I learned today why Scott is deranged. There wasn’t much landscaping, but I got a day job at a shipping and storage company.
We unloaded, unwrapped, inventoried, rewrapped and packed 19,000 lbs. of shit out of some people’s house. I hate those fucking people.
Actually, that was the most depressing work place I’ve ever seen. The boss and his wife are apparently complete dickholes and bullies. I never heard their regular crew say two words out-loud. They mumbled instructions quietly to each other as though they were afraid the boss might hear them talking.
I’m wondering if I eliminate grains, if I would be able to tolerate some ‘dairy’, as in yogurt or sharp cheese (lower level of lactose). But probably not, the small bit of lactose that is used at fillers in vitamins, medications, bother me.
Anything interesting in the 19,000 lbs, Jewstin, or just a bunch of crap?
Jewstin, maybe your next packing job (SYWM) won’t be so depressing or large.
(shut it)
Beasn, I’d drop both completely for 30 days, then try dairy cautiously.
What, they put milk in their dark chocolate? They ain’t supposed to do that! I bet Lindt doesn’t, that stuff is daaaark
Lindt is the one I hear more about on paleo boards.
Nothing interesting that I saw. I think I unwrapped about two dozen rubber made totes full of toys. If I ever have kids, those little bastards are getting a slinky and a stick. They’d better make ‘em last.
I did notice after we unwrapped a chest of drawers, Boss-Man spent a curiously long time examining a lady’s underpants drawer for scratches and dents.

Lindt dark chocolate is so dark that light can’t even escape from it.

We probably saved her $200 Brad, and she just took care of dog for 4 days.
Well, there’s that. And as long as it was Laura’s blood…
I was very helpful.
Heh. Helpful at my house when it comes to plumbing now is to be far, far away.
Why is it that men workin’ on schtuff around the house don’t react well to our honest and genuine procedural questions that we ask?
It was a simple thing, Xbrad. One of those very simple repairs that you just don’t ever need to do very often, so you waste more time identifying what the problem is than it takes to actually fix it.
In the end we just swapped out her sink drain assembly. It wasn’t until Scott was putting things back together that it became obvious the slip nut on the old pipe was too corroded to work with and we had to go back.
To pick out a drain you need to know who made the sink. We didn’t have a clue. There was about 10 to choose from and Laura pulled one off of the rack and said “this one”.
On the ride back I tried to prepare her for the agonizing defeat that was surely coming.
Nope.
It was the right one!!
We should have been out of there but we overlooked something else and had to back for a $5 part.
Plumbing Win–Yeah!
You both deserve a post-repair beer/beverage of your choice.

Get it scoped. They can fix that.
There may be a small, insignificant, miniscule chance, that being on an athletics team, while also being in possession of a torn meniscus in the knee, are not compatible situations.
I’d give you a paddlin’ for this foolishness, but it seems you are an efficient self-punisher and me piling on is not helpful.
*bag of ice*
uh yeah, softball sort of exacerbates the injury thing.
I would esplain this to you wiser except you are a stubborn fuck.
I love you. But hey, stubborn.
I had ACL surgery and it was soooo worth it

When did we get married?
it ain’t a sport unless you can get hurt. And a real man lives with the pain
btw, just in case you care, free concert, June 24th, at park in town. Our band is gonna kick ass.
We have a guest violinist playing the Theme from Schindler’s List who, and this is no lie, brought me to tears tonight in rehearsal tonight.
all are welcome.
I love you. But hey, stubborn.
THE SHRIMP WERE ALREADY COOKED!
EAT THEM! EEEEAT THEM!!1!11!
HAHAHAHAHHA
go get your knee fixed, goober.
And yes, sports means sacrificing your body. I did my part for history.
I’m done. Now I just want to walk.
A real man doesn’t bitch about the pain.
Seriously, listen to this an not shed a tear.
I dare you.

A real man….
ah, fuck it…
I’m gonna have the surgery…..
soon…
getting old sux.
It’s better than the alternative.
you have Perlman in your group?
I’m gonna have the surgery…..
Scott just did some plumbing surgery. It could work.
Seriously, listen to this an not shed a tear.
Already cried in the theatre to that one.
One word, Wiser.
Carousel!

We can rebuild it!
Is it the right or the left?
I’ll call Rosetta and get started at once.
Which reg, ‘er leg, is it, wiser?

This is why at the beginning of every baseball game they kneecap all the players with a spiked mace.
They’ll cut that loose piece of cartilage out and you’ll feel great for years. If you don’t have the athuritis, you’re done! Get it done.
What hurts worse? The knee, or the irony?
you have Perlman in your group?
She’s damn close.
There’s a woman in the band who lost family in the Holocaust who plays the piccolo part in this song. She loves that we are doing this, and constantly tweaks the band to make us do this right.
The soloist is so good that I have to force myself to concentrate on the music in front of me, otherwise I can’t play. Literally had a tear running down my face tonight as the soloist played.
verklempt.
>> I’ll call Rosetta and get started at once.
HAH!
Electric shock might fix it! You should try that.
This is why at the beginning of every baseball game they kneecap all the players with a spiked mace.
s’funny, I don’t remember seeing you there this weekend…..
Wow, getting to play a piece of music that powerful has to be a great feeling.

BUT MY TEAM NEEDS ME!11! THEY WILL LOSE GAMES WITHOUT ME!1!1!

I wish that they still showed that for the live games. Good clean Roman-style family entertainment. I miss that.
On the flip side, you’ll have a knee that isn’t swollen past the size of your ass, and it won’t hurt anymore.
Tradeoff.
Wiser prefers “Greek style” family entertainment. Like he finds at Gay.com
That would be sad wiserbud. Homes will be lost, families will break up. Tragic.
I blew out a tie rod. Surgery is Wednesday.
Wow, getting to play a piece of music that powerful has to be a great feeling.
It truly is. The soloist is a teacher at the music store. she’s a bit weird, but she is amazingly talented.
I tried to tell her how much I appreciated her solo and I couldn’t express how I felt without getting choked up.
It’s the difference between playing the notes and making music. I can play the notes. She makes art.
I blew out a fart
You blew out a tummy and surgery kept you around. So don’t diss surgery cause I’m glad you’re around, boog.
On the flip side, you’ll have a knee that isn’t swollen past the size of your ass, and it won’t hurt anymore.
I do have a pretty large ass…….
That would be sad wiserbud. Homes will be lost, families will break up. Tragic.
See? This guy gets it.
>> she’s a bit weird, but she is amazingly talented.
A weird musician? No way.
A weird musician? No way.
I normally hate the sound of a violin, but she is unbelievable.
She can make that thing sing.
Then, when she’s done playing, she goes back into her little introverted shell and hides.
So sad. She’s so talented. But she’s painfully shy and awkward.
Just like a bass player from Texas I know….

OMG I swear I’m gonna put my 14 y.o. on craigslist for free pick up. GAAAAHH!
That is all.
I envy anyone that can play an instrument. I balked at piano lessons in my yoot and sorely regret it now.
I will never dis surgery.
>> Just like a bass player from Texas I know
I know. My shyness is a large part of me being a dork bass player. I overcompensate.
ok, school nite. Goodnight my friends!
That was a lie.
Sweet nighty dreams, Dave.
YAAAAAAAAY!!!! *CLAPCLAPCLAP!!!
here is her performance of Schindler’s List at our recent concert!
not the best acoustics, but seriously, she’s amazing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-HG6plNpic
goodnight friends. Early day tomorrow
She is good, wiser.
Hi guys! Love the pic of DG, Chief.
Sweetest of dreams to you, Sohos.
G’night, Dave.
G’night, Sohot.
What? Who lied? Drag em up here.
*she’s good wiser*
Dave.
Pants.
Fire.
Very nice, Wiser. Plaintive.
*she’s good wiser*
I am so glad we got that on video!
Plaintive.
yes. perfect description.
we played it twice in rehearsal tonight. 1st time, i focused on my music. 2nd time, I listened to her while playing.
crushed me.
Wow, watching that makes me wish I’d practiced more. Thanks wiser!
What instrument do you play, Jay?
Heh, jack of all trades, master of none. Played violin up til 7th grade. Moved to IA, no orchestra. Started the tuba. Played a little bass guitar in jazz band.
My niece has my violin, now. She was underwhelmed. I think she was expecting a Strativarius. Oh well, it still makes noise.
Who’s the faggot with the tuba?
See, I was expecting that.
I didn’t have to wear the faggy hat in marching band, so there’s that.
You know what was really fun? Playing tuba in your football pads at a halftime show, since you were the only tuba. I love small schools.
Jay, how were you supposed to get motivational half time speeches when you didn’t get to leave the field?
Well, it kinda went like this, oso:
“Jay, get yer ass back here after yer done. You know I hate this scheduling shit.”
gotta go sleepytime now.
wish you could all be here for our concert.
I love playing in this band and really wish I could share that with all of you.
Learning to play guitar is on my bucket list. I may have to move it up.
I had a friend that played 8 man ball in eastern Washington. They only had 7 guys, so other teams in the league would loan them a player.
Thanks, Wiser. G’night.
I took a few lessons, Cyn. It’s kinda fun.
Piano is the real deal.
We have Six Man FB here in NM. Jay, I bet a coach would get called on for saying “Ass” and “Shit” nowadays.
Nice, xbrad.
They play 6 man in Nebraska. That’s where they grow all those Cornhusker linemen. It’s been quite effective, size and speed.
Will it be video’d, wiser? We can watch it then with popcorn and lawn chairs.
Oso, I may have been slapped upside the head multiple times, in football, wrestling, baseball, and track. I’m pretty sure I was kicked in the butt, too, as well as mentally abused. I’d probably win millions in a lawsuit, don’t you think?
Piano? Really? Maybe I should take the lessons again then.
Our 6-man is mostly consolidated schools with lots of Mexicans. Jay, in today’s self esteem driven world, I think we all would win lawsuits. I was hit by two different choir teachers. One with a ruler.
One of my “nieces” in town (honorary title) just graduated. She’s going to be a music major. All music majors must be able to play the piano. Cross training, I guess.
If I ever have kids, those little bastards are getting a slinky and a stick. They’d better make ‘em last.
Jewstin, if you ever have kids they will have the frankincense and myrrh to play with.
Did you ever suffer a concussion, Jay, Were you warned about concussions? If either of these pertains to you, you may have a case. Please call right now for a free consultation.
Cyn, our continuing education classes offer several levels of guitar. UNM has a pretty highly recognized guitar program. A lot of it having to do with our flamenco dance degree.
Kinda ironic about the self esteem thing, huh. I got smacked a couple of times, but I don’t think my self esteem suffered much. Funny that.
No concussions that I’m aware of. I’m just naturally this way.
And pupster, that comment is comedy GOLD! Well done, puppeh!
Antelope Island did not suck, although the great salt lake smells like rancid ass potatoes.
Oh, yes, I love that flamenco sound! That has to take YEARS of practice. I’ll consider myself successful if I don’t look like I’m playing a Wii guitar.
So, you’re saying m World Problems teacher shoudln’t have shanked me with a shiv made from Sharpie pen?
I hated Dodgeball and Red Rover but I didn’t cry about it, I just had to be strategic. The reason that everyone is praising David McCullough Jr’s graduation speech is because a lot of today’s little darlings have never been challenged in their lives. How is it bullying to pick teams in PE?
Cyn, MCPO links a lot of really good Spanish guitar maestros.
Gypsy Kings, Hotel California
Heh, had that conversation with a nephew just starting football.
Hurts, don’t it?
He does at that, Oso. Some of that music makes me all tingly in my pants.
While I wasn’t the best at sports, learning to play them, and the path to team playing are some of the best memories and learning experiences of my life.
One of my former roommates is a professional flamenco dancer. She’ll be performing in Houston on June 24th. She does a lot of work with her local VFW and every time she posts pics with Vets she loses artsy friends on FB. She has started borrowing friends from me. MCPO is one because she likes all of his music links.
The team stuff really is so very important, especially if it’s done right without the namby-pamby-everyone’s-a-winner bullshit.
evening everyone
heya Cyn
Most brutal sport ever? Touch football in the Army.
It was a bit of a shock to me.
If you drop friends because you are posting pics with vets, you are doing it right.
…and every time she posts pics with Vets she loses artsy friends on FB.
I really do hate FB. All the fakey crap makes me want to go on a 57 state spree.
Jay, part of growing up. There are winners and losers and we can’t all get “Participant” ribbons. My parents never let us win games. If we won it was because we earned it.
Probably gave rugby a bad name, huh xbrad?
Her artsy friends drop her! She just took a bunch of pics for Memorial Day and she was chosen to escort the Bataan Vet for the wreath placing ceremony.
Exactly right, cyn and oso. Team was never “you did ok, here’s an award”. We fought for what we could get. Got there early, stayed late, did extra. It wasn’t enough, to do what was “expected”. You had to go the extra mile.
The reward? Getting to play in districts in football, state in baseball. Yeah, it was worth it.
Actually, volleyball was a bit worse, cuz we usually played that on pavement.
Hiya, Krow.
You’re just in time for me to sign off and hang with the boys for a bit before bed.
I wish everyone a night filled with their sweetest of sweet dreams.
Nighty night, Cyn.
Night Cyn.
Heh, we used to play stickball behind the bar when work was done. Yeah, sliding on asphalt isn’t a good idea. Good thing we had “anesthesia”.
http://tinyurl.com/7u2muvk
XB, we were spoiled. We had great playing fields and facilities on base. Most injuries that my Dad got playing softball, volleyball, etc involved alcohol.
Thanks for the memories, all. Gotta hit the hay myself.
Adios, Jay.
Oh, I’m not talking about organized sports. I’m talking about days when we substituted football, soccer, or volleyball for regular PT.
Oh, your talking “Let’s go out in the parking lot of the gedunk and throw the football” type recreation. Yeah, good thing my Dad worked at the Naval Hospital!
“You’re not your” Gah!!!!
No, pickup games were civilized. But for some reason, PT games were brutal.
On the other hand, it was better than pushups, situps, and a run-til-you puke session of PT.
I don’t understand people that exercise willingly. All my family members are starting do do Tris and Mudders and Wounded Warrior Events and they’re getting gym memberships. My 80 year old recent triple bypass Uncle is doing an hour of cardio a day. Blech.
I was getting paid to do it.
Congrats to the Kings for winning the Stanley Derp.
Good morning Car In!
Been here all night, but got a bit busy. Then distracted by something shiny.
Car in is sleeping in this morning so please move about quietly.
I’m up, I’m up.
Wakey wakey.
Concert was awesome.
I played flute and piccolo in band and orchestra in High school. If there was a community band around here, I’d try to join. I think there’s one in Flint, but that’s too far.
Well, that’s not very team oriented, Car in.
Glad you had fun Carin! I am out the door!
I slept in a bed last night! Upstairs was finally cool enough.
Did they play any covers, Carin?
Good deal Car in.
Ok, at the concert I was thinking about that article CB posted, and I have to say …
I wanted everyone to BE QUIET. I didn’t come to this concert to hear the three twenty-somethings in front of me sing. Or scream during the song. I was in the second row on the balcony, and they were they first … one little push … who would have blamed me?
I was provoked.
there are times you can sing, and certain concerts. And other times you need to just listen. Dance a bit. Clap and scream at the end. But, sing along to the cd IN YOUR CAR. Sing at the bar. At the concert? SHUT THE HELL UP.
No covers, but during their final song, they worked in the beginning of Neil Young’s “Old Man”. Does that count?
“I didn’t come to this concert to hear the three twenty-somethings in front of me sing”
Where was your pepper spray?
Where was your pepper spray?
Obviously I was unprepared.
Stun gun for next time. Or one of those spiffy extendable batons.
Occupy Thom Yorke.
I’m sure Thom would have preferred if they shut the hell up too.
