CAPE

Happy Mother's day to all the moms here. Gorgeous day. Enjoy!

Terrapin Park in Stevensville is one of my local favorites. Its literally just across the bay bridge. Lots of trails and you can walk along the beach. I go there often. Great place to pick up driftwood, which I kinda collect. I have not been since the COVID restrictions, so you might want to check if you decide to go.

Didn't take any before shots, but there was no view beyond the canopy of green in the foreground- lots of undergrowth and brier growing up numerous small trees. Took it all out.

Just a perfect day for doing any outdoor project, minus a bit of wind. Just spent a couple hours cutting back the undergrowth along the edge of the woods out back. Amazing how much it opened things up. I now have a partial view through the trees of the farm behind my property, which I enjoy in the winter months when the foliage is gone.

He will improve with some practice.

Probably how it will go. I was not overly impressed with his play tbh, and think there are younger guys who could step up and do the job for less money. But it wont matter if they have to take a hit to get rid of him.

Not much of a whiskey/bourbon person, but this Jefferson's small batch is smooth and pleasantly sweet. Pretty good stuff. On par with Knob Creek and Woodford Reserve. All subjective ofc. Knob Creek small batch is normally my go to for bourbon.

I am not much on crust, so thats how I would cut it lol. My mom makes an awesome punkin' pie with rum and crushed pecans for a crust.

ET one and done with the Ravens? Maybe.

I had a Goose Island IPA, now a glass(or 2) of red wine. I think I will end up with a Jefferson's small batch on the rocks at some point.

They really are bomb. I was shocked the first time I tried them. A tad pricey, but worth it if you don't want to make them yourself.

Hard to beat these. Even my mom, who is a great cook, uses them when she doesn't have the time. Y'all can go ahead and drag me now.

^hot take

@mappy Finally watched the Westworld finale. Overall I was not overly impressed by the last 2 episodes. However, the after the credits scenes in the finale were pretty epic. I hope the game gets upped a bit for next season. I was totally into this season early on- and how different it was- but then I kinda got a bit bored with the 'story line' as the season went on.

I have been there a couple times recently. You can walk in but they have the counter right at the entrance, and they go and get whatever you want. Ofc you have to know what you want lol. Town and Country is doing basically the same thing. Not sure about ordering ahead but I would assume so.

It is pretty easy to simply not engage those who you think may be "derailing" the thread. Another option is ignore. I was a big proponent of having the COVID thread- I pushed for it and Mappy agreed to start it. I only engaged occasionally, but that's because I was able to keep informed to the level I required without discussing it all day long, and frankly I have other things to occupy my time. I understand that to some it is an interesting topic worthy of investing significant time to discussion, however. Having a dedicated thread also kept it from dominating banter.

The Ravens should sign AB. Whats a little more drama?

Bit of an update on the Earl Thomas thing.. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2020/05/07/earl-thomas-wife-arrested-gun-brother-baltimore-ravens/3088413001/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=usatodaycomsports-topstories eta- Nina Thomas told police she used Snapchat to track Earl to the rental home, brought two other women with her, and found her husband and his brother in separate bedrooms with two other women. according to ESPN. @Baltimorewx No brotherly orgy apparently.

I made my beer run. Decently restocked for now.

On another (more important) topic, I need to make a beer run today. I have none! Very urgent situation here.

It seems his wife was just a little pissed off.

What you never banged some chicks with your bro?

https://www.pennlive.com/baltimore-ravens/2020/05/baltimore-ravens-say-they-were-unaware-of-earl-thomas-incident-before-wednesday-night.html Shortly after Thomas mentioned an impending explosive report in an Instagram video, TMZ published a story that claimed Thomas’ wife, Nina, held a loaded gun to his head during an April 13 altercation in Austin, Texas. Nina found Earl and his brother, Seth, naked in bed with other women at a rental home, TMZ reported, citing court documents.

TMZ always gets the scoop.
