@penguinwrangler Very nice country out there

It is absolutely gorgeous. Especially to someone like me that grew up on the plains. It is about as flat as you can get where I grew up.

Is it 5pm yet? Wishing it was 5pm. Going to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee tomorrow and my wife and I are picking out our land we will retire on. Pretty excited.

@nadnerb wow, can't complain about the service here, that's way more than I was expecting. Thanks comrade.

I recommend you try a real mango lassi, they are delicious! It's like a healthy version of a milkshake.

And you ruined it all. Who needs healthy?

Well, it's healthier, not REALLY healthy. Still a lot of fat and sugar.

fats are okay, your body needs fats. Sugar and carbohydrates, on the other hand, you don't need at all. You could live your whole life without them and not be deficient nutritionally.

Bowl-O-Coffee. Wishing it had something stronger in it.

Put the kids to bed and now enjoying some Starbucks. Today had been busy but good.

My kids won't be considering bed for many, many hours yet.

I can remember 8 PM being bedtime for years when I was a kid.

9:30 is the earliest I remember.

But yet as we get older 9:30 bedtime is awesome.

@penguinwrangler Yes, I'm afraid so. Looking forward to another top 3 draft pick again next year. Hopefully we'll accumulate enough of those eventually to be a .500 team again.

You guys went from a decent team to a horrible team really fast. You guys would compete with us all the time and then it is like your ownership gave up and sold everything off. I don't like it when any team just runs away with a division, even my own, go Cards! Competition makes everyone better. I just don't like the idea that you have to tank to rebuild your system. I don't believe that is how it should be done.

Already mowed three or four times in South MS. Inside watching the Reds play while a storm passes. Thankfully no tornadoes this time.

Reds fan? If so I am so sorry, you have a long season ahead. However, I do love the four games my team picked up from you over the weekend.

Nice!

Looking at buying land in Eastern Tennessee Smokey Mountain area. Possible retirement location unless I could get transferred to Knoxville office. Land is cheap compared to where I currently live.

Dude! you can find anything on Google Maps!

I really want to cut out of work early today. It is so beautiful. Called my friend and he said I could go out to his farm and target shoot if I wanted to. Outside in the country plinking away at targets.....that is the life.

System76 joins the Gnome advisory board.

But they are still pushing their PopOS.

This is when you know Monday as fully hit. Got this in my inbox this morning:

"Good Morning,

There is an urgent plumbing repair being made in the building today and tomorrow. This may result in an unpleasant odor.

We have apologize for the inconvenience this may cause."

Going to see Ready Player One.

I liked it. It deviated from the book but if you step back and look at it as an adaption of the book you will like it. Just realistically for a movie somethings had to be changed. Also there were trademark issues that I am sure they just couldn't overcome.

My Mom has to work Easter, she is a nurse. I don't have my kids, my wife doesn't have hers. My sister and her family are going to her in-laws, so it will just be me, my wife and my Dad. So my wife is baking deserts, I am smoking a chicken, and smoking hamburgers. My Dad is making up a few things and we are going to relax.

Does this honestly surprise anyone?

Bottom line is this. God only made a few perfect heads, like @scottalanmiller and mine, the rest God had to cover with hair.

Hair... hiding the shame of imperfect heads since time began.

EXACTLY, the truth comes out. It is a huge conspiracy perpetrated by the people with hair!

Bottom line is this. God only made a few perfect heads, like @scottalanmiller and mine, the rest God had to cover with hair.

While wigs are meant to make you look as if you have hair, I don't think that they provide any real protection. . .

A wig can and does provide the same "protection" as a hat. Consider a skull cap or simple bob, what protection to they afford that a wig does not?

Ok. . . well a hardhat keeps your skull from being crushed by falling debris. Can a wig do the same?

A wig can't do that, but neither can my fedora.
