BuffaloBud

After 10 years at previous company with only 2 weeks, finally got some bank of vacation (4 weeks) with current employer after 1 year. Go figure. Was planning on taking 2 extended road trips (one to the UP and the other to Mt Rushmore). Got a couple things in play. I'm taking half day Fridays to either kick back or get yard / house work done before the weekend. Currently signed up for the Memorial t'ment in July (press center). Reserved a couple of days in October in Chicago with GF. Parents cancelled summer Germany trip - now driving up from FL to spend the month of August in Buffalo. CBUS will be a layover point. I'll take some time with them then.

Recently got into this Irish whiskey - Teeling Aged in rum cask - OMG!!

Cant find the actress name, but the mom in this Febreze commercial https://ispot.tv/a/AOe5

Guy who ran the corporate kitchen where I used to work said to run the dishwasher on rinse, wait for the water to settle, and then put the dough in there to proof. Never did it so I can't vouch for it.

I have 2 #1 Grilled pimento cheese on sourdough #2 Limberger cheese on rye w thin sliced onion and mustard

This may not meet the "simple pleasure" requirement, but I will not ski east of the Mississippi ever again. Grew up skiing at Holimont and KB. Went skiing out west and have been out there many times. Conditions are sooooo good. Otherwise, a real good meal with good company (wink wink).

Personally, I would love to have Britt as some backup / can play C or G. Pull some tape on him and you will have a hard time seeing him get beat.

DTV and ST subscriber for 20+ years. Plus, ATT phone for ~10. Seen / heard nothing.

I've got greens (spinach, lettuce, kale) in the ground. Some are already popping up. I've had to cover a couple of nights because of frost warnings. Prolly later this month / early next will get the peas, beets, and beans in the ground. Will have to hold off on the tomatoes until mid-next month. I hope my nursery will have supply.

Got mine and still working. I know that this is not how it is to be used, but I plan on donating the majority of mine. Part to the local food bank and part to World Food Kitchen.

Jeesh - that one cuts hard. Never heard of John Prine until my neighbor and a buddy would talk endlessly about him. Godspeed JP.

Hendricks?

Fantasia ?

Been checking those out for the past 3 weeks - nada, zip, zero

The N95 masks are fitted and you will have to shave. The general purpose masks that you would see in the dentist office - no. I know that Jose Andres who is primary force for World Central Kitchen had to shave his. Things may have changed since I was in the fire service, but those breathing apparatus required no beard for a proper seal.

Here's my question. What are all these kids going to do with this time off? They are not going to stay at home. They are going to the mall, go to the movies, go to the fast food place. Then what?? For those that don't have kid coverage, I've noticed on the NextDoor app a number of HS kids offering to kid-watch while parents are at work. Something to look at - FYI.

Stein = #1

I just keep leasing new vehicles and get 3 years free with each lease. ?‍♂️

Are you in a reduced / compromised heath condition? If yes, then I might reconsider. If not, go. Take some bathroom wipes and wipe down the arm rests, seat back, the space before you sit down. I did this when I went to / back from China last spring - no post travel crud.

It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, is said on the Sirius NHL station.

Personally, I would trade Tobacco Road for Pine Needles, Mid-Pines, or Talamore. Maybe a side trip to Keith Hills.

If you see my mom, dad, sister, and BIL there give them a hard time ?. They'll be there on Sat and Sun. (My sister / BIL live in Jax Beach, parents at The Villages)

Played #4, #7, and #8. You could be just off the green and 3 - 4 chipping just to get back on the green. Then you still have to putt out. As said previously, hire a caddy if playing #2. The Payne Stewart statue if memory serves me correct is right off the 18 green. Main clubhouse is awesome. Played many Pinehurst area courses during off off season. That area is a piece of golfing heaven.
