whoops been a minute since I posted but in my defense I've been busy running around all over the city. currently having sangria & tapas on the UES after spending the afternoon at the met
what the hell this random bar I picked at random has maybe the most incredible music performance I've every witnessed live and has a special guest grammy winner featured on vox + violin nyc you didn't have to go THIS hard my first night ever staying here
lebron james me 🤝 going to philly to work in new jersey but ultimately hanging out in new york
somehow, someway, of the last 4 permanent jackson county executives, 3 of them have been indicted on federal charges and the one that wasn't indicted on federal charges was frank damn white lololol (who got recalled b/c of how much everyone hated him)
missed this yesterday, kind of a fascinating hire for purdue, bringing in a guy who's only ever lived & worked in the south, and outside of a stint with vandy it's only ever been Louisiana + TX. was an AD at mcneese at 26(!). reputation as a great fundraiser. probably a job hopper but I'm intrigued
my semi-annual plea/bitchfest that missouri's electioneering buffer is only 25 feet from the door is stupid and annoying anyways, did the damn thing
which now brings us back to this weekend, deck build, days 20 & 21: got the stairs and bench framed out (and the decking long cut & laid across)
Last weekend, we finally repair a couple of the irrigation lines we hit when augering out for the deck piers back in April. (And it was hot as balls, no fun)
been reminded that I've needed to update this thread, so after a few weeks off, the past couple of weekends we went on some side quests: 2 weekends ago, after taking out all the sunken bricks off the existing patio, slowly added bags of paver base, we reset the pavers to align w/ the future stairs
Lol nothing like staying for an extra inning baseball game you don't care about
OFFICIAL NEW COMISKEY PARK REVIEW (fuck whatever the sponsor name is) pro: as a 1/4 polish, any stadium that serves polish sausages along with basic ass hot dogs & brats is a-ok with me, buddy con: the PA is barely there & beyond the scoreboard in the back hard to tell what's going on
oh hey a chill time getting to the airport, hope the rest of the trip is similarly chill
the most hilarious email I've ever had forwarded to me, the context of which is so dense & multilayered it would be impossible to explain here also as someone who has occasionally raised my voice in certain situations... I wasn't even that frenzied! Just trying to herd cats on a call
& today we did bierco all the way to the missouri river & back. that's a 52 mile weekend for y'all
finally attempted & completed the full tomahawk creek & indian creek trail loop. & now I will have a beer
anyways this heatwave and being by myself this weekend has me once again complaining that I don't have friends with a readily accessible pool inviting me to said pool just gonna manifest and layout on my deck next to where the hot tub will eventually go
