When I went to a Pittsburgh Pirates game, the guy that sat beside me showed me his homemade Pennsylvania State tattoo.
Yinz gotta hit up Primanti Bros after the game, guy. Then yinz can fill up at Sheetz and grab some j popperz and a red bull smoothie.

I'm pushing it to tomorrow. Will do treadmill in gym tonight
I did 10 rounds on the heavy bag, outside, yesterday morningish. Don't do it. My lungs are quite strong, no worries there. It's the nose and mouth. I will be tasting this for a week. It's like a crappy cigar, followed by 2 more crappy cigars.

AQI of 256 at the office in Henrietta this morning. Crazy how hazy and smokey the air has become. I’ve never experienced anything like this.
We're at 349 right now. It's actually impressive. According to AirNow, it looks like there is currently no place in the US worse than the Poconos.

Oh yeah, he just had knee and hernia surgery so physical activity is off the docket.
Well sh*t.
And you probably can't just get him bombed sitting outside. I'm sure his wife wants him coherent for the party. Darn, I'm not very creative. The only 2 things I can thin of are golf and sitting and drinking.
Fishing? But without getting tanked?

So, I'm guessing you guys don't golf? Easiest way to kill 5 hours on any Saturday without even thinking about it.

Looks like we topped out at an AQI of 221. Sounds bad when it's usually, like, 10. Allegedly it will be worse tomorrow. We actually cancelled a AAA ballgame tonight.

I was in the Town of Lyndon just outside of Franklinville all weekend with nice camp fires. I'm 52, I've walked these woods and hills for my entire life, it wasn't remotely close to the driest of seen it in my life time. Back in the early-mid 80's there was a couple of years where it was bone dry. My grandfather and father used to tell me the dry spell in the 60's was the last they remembered before then, it's definitely a cyclical event.
That's 212 miles away.

The Air Quality Index (wtf? I'm from the country, my air is supposed to be perfect!) is currently 116. There is a red flag warning from the national weather service and the outside air tastes like campfire. Evidently an AQI number of 116 is only moderate. Pretty much all of this smoke is blowing in from Eastern Canada, but our hills seem primed up for a fire. It's dry as hell here, the river is way down for the time being, and the grass feels like a hay field. Let's hope we don't get heat lightning. Or some ***** doesn't have a camp fire.

So true. I haven’t seen a hip hop concert, outside of like the Grammys, that sounds anything close to good. Music is distorted and there are 7 dudes on the stage screaming into the mic. Just not good.
That was true when I saw Nelly. It was true when I saw Nas. It was true for Lil Kim. HOWEVER: I once saw The Game come out with a DJ, one mic and a stool and do the closest thing to a live album that you're ever going to hear in rap music.
-
I wish rap/hip hop wasn't so awful to see in concert, because this lineup is insanely awesome.

I named two upthread.
Back to the point--wasn't NASCAR more popular than NHL at one point about 20 years ago? Did it matter? (And I wonder how those people feel about their "Rainbow Warrior" now...)
I'd rank him juuuust behind Jimmy Johnson as the 4 greatest driver of all time. 1 and 2 are, of course, The King and Big Dale.

I wear it. Been in too many car accidents not to. Head on'd a tree(wasn't driving.) Double rollover + a cartwheel (was driving, max performance summer tires unsuitable for freak road conditions.) And deer x2 (wasn't driving.)
The rollover had me nose of the car down, back wheels in the air, leaning up against a tree. I was still snug in my seat without a scratch. My Oakley's did fly off and were destroyed, however.

I love creme brulee, I bring my torch to work and I'll be torching up some at my desk in the ramekins. I also bring my French press 😂😂 but I look like a homeless man, people don't know what to think.
Hahaha! Got you down in the ER with a dessert station going. ....add sugar, torch, top with cream and berries. And nurse, did we get results of that biopsy?

Take it one step further and make homeade pasta. I love rolling it out in sheets and pressing it. I actually make a dessert lasagna with from scratch pasta sheets and it's layered with homeade chocolate mousse, Ganache and homeade whipped cream (I vary the flavors each time I make it) the pasta is cooked and then layered and it offsets the rich sweetness of it perfectly.
Tiramisu is my go-to dessert. I'm also a huge fan of creme brulee. But yours definitely sounds like something I'd eat.

Recipe?
I have always made this with pancetta.
I don't really follow a recipe. I make this one off of gut feeling lol. Rough numbers are 2 egg yolks per person, plus one yolk. So if you're making it for 2 people that's 5 yolks. Roughly 6 oz of guanchale that is cooked slowly til fairly crisp. While I'm cooking the guanchale I'm grating the pecorino romano. Locatelli has 7 oz wedges of it. I use like 5 or 6 oz? Grate the romano super fine(don't buy grated cheese.) Now here's where some people freak out. I use spaghetti. Some other people use rigatoni, I personally don't care, rigatoni would probably be pretty damn good too. Just use a dry pasta, 2.5 ish oz per person. Don't go using the whole box, it'll mess up the egg and cheese ratio.
Start whisking your yolks in a medium mixing bowl (metal bowl if you have it) add some black pepper, just a few shakes.
Add the romano to the eggs and now you have a paste, keep mixing, mix over the steam from the boiling water, it'll help.
Strian your pasta, but reserve some of the water. I fill a coffee cup with it before I strain it.
With your reserved pasta water, splash it into your egg & cheese paste. Go slow! too much, too soon will ruin it. Once the eggs and cheese are a nice and thick, but creamy consistency add your pasta and mix. The pasta should be coated nice and evenly, no clumps, but not runny either. If you need a splash of pasta water, add it here. Now add your guanchale (set it out on a paper towel after it crisps, add it from there)
Now plate and serve. You're gonna need a crisp white wine to play off of the saltyness of the carbonara.
Guanchale is what the dish is made with. Pancetta gets substituted in the USA because most people don't have stores that sell guanchale. The flavor is different. You can always order it, but if you live in a city, someone generally sells it.

Oh, and speaking of The Fast and the Furious...
...I read somewhere that Star Wars(original) and Episode I: The Phantom Menace have as many years in-between them as The Fast and the Furious and Fast X.
It's true. And it's very hard for me to believe.

Any other Harry Potter fans? My ranking of the 8 films (it alternates)
1 Half-Blood Prince
2 Prisoner of Azkaban
3 Order of the Phoenix
4 Deathly Hallows - Part 1
5 Deathly Hallows - Part 2
6 Philosopher’s Stone
7 Chamber of Secrets
8 Goblet of Fire
1,3,2,6,4,5,7,8.
The first 2 are the only ones that even attempted to feel magical. 3 was the best book, meh+ movie. 5 as a book was all politics and Gary Oldman being awesome then they went and cut him out of the entire freaking movie. 4 as a movie was Fast and the Furious on broomsticks and emo hair. Deathly Hallows was just get it over with already! 6 I remember liking.

Ok thanks.
If we want to get Yellowstone and the spin-offs, can we subscribe to Paramount+ for a month, stream everything we want and then cancel the subscription after that month?
Shoresy is available on our cable package but I would have to subscribe to Crave tv to get it.
My question is more about getting in and out of these streaming companies. There are only a few shows we are interested in outside of Netflix and Amazon, which we already have.
I will be getting Sportsnet Now to get all of the hockey in the fall.
I will subscribe to TSN during the World Juniors.
You can only watch Yellowstone on Peacock. It airs on the Paramount network, NOT Paramount+. It's on Hulu if you pay extra.
Paramount+ does give you the spinoffs but not the main show.
Shoresy is on Hulu.
And I'd imagine cancelling these streamers is a click away. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

I made carbonara tonight. I've pretty much prefected it at this point. The guanchale, the egg, the cheese. All perfect ratios. It's pretty much the 3rd best Italian dish for me. Right behind lasagna and ziti and just ahead of manicotti and amatriciana.
Ok 4th best. But only because pizza is the greatest food of all time.

That is a 200% good goal!

I just saw Fast X. It certainly wasn't great, and you are probably a more discriminating viewer than I am, but I find all of them more or less the same level of "stupid but entertaining with great action sequences." I'm also interested in the increasing number of appearances by major actors/actresses.
I really just want them to race cars lol. They basically stopped that with Fast 5.

I mentioned this movie not two days ago. I think it's really good, dare I say, excellent (for what it is.) Way better than I was expecting.
Plus, Jessica Biel is hot.
It's dumb and fun and that's all it's gotta be!
