Pork butt getting ready to throw in the low cooker for Dirty Bastard pulled pork this evening. Sizzling. #bskybeer

Stouterday thanks goes out to @mcchouffe.bsky.social for actively sharing beer posts with the #bskybeer tag.

Short rant. Don't do this irritating crap with the blurred sides. #obnoxious

Please don't ask me for money. I have two kids in college and one IS GOING TO FUCKING ANTARCTICA! You have NO idea how pumped I am that they got into the program. I almost cried when I heard. THIS is why I saved for 20+ years. THIS is what I want for my kids. Holy shit this is so cool.

10 yards of mulch laid and the landscaping work is nowhere near finished Need a beer. Buck Res 2 from Transient. #bskybeer

I'm going to call it now. This is the week at all falls apart. If you think it's bad now, it's going to get worse. I don't know why I have this feeling. I just do. If I could explain my screwed up brain, I would.

Forgot to share the surprise great beer I had a Dark Lord Day. Ghostchant from Hammond-based Foreign Local. I'm usually not into these (unless I'm at Homes), but this one really stood out. Delicious.

One of the greatest crimes of the 21st century was when this became unavailable.

Happy birthday. First one of the year.

This was very well done. m.youtube.com/watch?v=4nrW...

Long week leading into a long weekend so I'm tapping into one of favorite Michigan beers, Buckley Reserve #2 from Transient in Bridgman. Absolutely amazing at room temperature. #bskybeer

Prepping for another Dark Lord Day in NW Indiana. The weather is clearing up nicely. In the distance is Teibel’s. I believe you need to be 93 or older to enter. #bskybeer

On another economic note - retail sales figures are NOT adjusted for inflation. Inflation’s effect on prices can drive perceived increases even though actual activity may be flat.

On my Bloomberg feed: 10:15 Iran has roughy 10% of drone, missile capability left: Cooper 10:21 Ship sunk inn Hormuz Strait after suspected drone attack: WSJ

Some clarity on today’s news headlines: The Producer Price Index, ex food and energy, was up 5.2% year over year. The headline number was 6.0% year over year. BUT, if you annualize the month over month figures from this morning, you’re looking at nearly 17% and 12%.

1/2 Birds today at Nayanquing - tree swallow, sandhill crane, goldfinch, Savannah sparrow, ring-necked pheasant, song sparrow, swamp sparrow, barn swallow, red-singed blackbird, sore (heard), Canada goose, killdeer, pied-billed grebe (heard), Sora (heard only, but we looked hard),

I'm fairly certain there aren't any experts "wondering." apnews.com/article/cdc-...

The Pentagon is releasing more UFO files today. Announcements like this make me even more glad I’m not on Twitter so I don’t have to see “those” posts.

I Robot. 75-85 years ago. I’m re-reading it for the first time in a very long time. It’s a more timely book today than when I first read it over 40 years ago. Asimov was a bit of a prophet.

As someone who has been all over the finance business for 30+ years, where do people think those gigantic bonuses come from? It's NOT performance of the investments. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Yard work. Spring cleaning. Car washing. It’s too nice out to simply work all weekend. I’m old and sore. #bskybeer

Not sure why I’d post this now, but the last time we removed trade restrictions AND raised income taxes on the highest earners, we had the best economy of our lifetimes.

I don't want to promote stereotypes, but I actually eat about seven bananas each week.

Burning winter debris. Will take all day. Fire and alcohol make a safe mix. Thank you to Moody’s for the insulated cup so I can keep the ashes out. #bskybeer

What are the odds of a nuke hitting Iran at 8:45 PM this evening? This is the insane shit nobody had to even think about 18 months ago.

As gas pushes above $4 here, all I can say is this EV is amazing and so fun to drive. I even made the conscious decision last year to NOT buy the SS version because I knew I wouldn't behave myself. (0-60 in 3.3 seconds=bail money.) If you haven't tested an EV yet, do it.

Me driving past all of the gas stations in my EV this morning.

Timely. “Padded with power here they come, international loan sharks backed by the guns of market hungry military profiteers, whose word is a swamp and whose brow is smeared with the blood of the poor.” m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz-X...

Out with the bad, in with the, ah, fuck.

Rant time. I do NOT want or need a thinner, lighter laptop. Make it four times as thick and three pounds heavier so it can hold four batteries instead of one.

Haven’t been drinking much at all lately. Forgot I had this one. Lighter than most barrel-aged stouts. By that I mean it’s not as thick and treacally (sp?). Pretty good.

I'm trying to imagine the response if a country actively killed the Pope. Do you think the Catholics of the world would just sit back and say OK, we give up? This is going to get ugly. (Let's ignore the pedophile protectionism for the sake of this argument even thought it's ridiculously timely.)

"Please turn off your ad blocker!" And this is what I get.

Shingrix #2 done.

What a game. Wow.

Zero minutes. This is amazing.

US is lucky this is still 1-1.

20 minutes.
