wxdude64 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Blues/Sharks. Someone is FINALLY making the finals after years of waiting. Yep, won't be my 'Hawks this year. Can't complain after the past 6 seasons. I thought we had rid ourselves of too much talent at the start of the year.....proved true although they did OK with what they had left and acquired. Maybe a year break will do some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 I know! I've never seen anything like it. Two days of sun? I'm going to need a week at least to recover from these burns. This weekend should help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wak2x Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Anyone fish the mountain streams recently? Was hoping to sneak away this weekend but the weather doesn't look like it will cooperate.

mattie g Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Anyone take the VRE on a regular basis? I start a new job at the end of the month and am thinking of commuting from Rolling Road to L'Enfant on the train and then walking to Gallery Place when the weather allows. I've never taken VRE, but it's looking like the best option for me. The only real downside is the relative lack of trains, so there's little option but to come in and leave at very set times (can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it!). Good, bad, or indifferent, any feedback is certainly welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real downside is the relative lack of trains, so there's little option but to come in and leave at very set times (can be good or bad, depending on how you look at it!). Good, bad, or indifferent, any feedback is certainly welcome! From what I remember, VRE isn't a bad option so long as you can park your car to get to your home station (my dad is hosed as he lives in spotsy but is much closer to the Fredericksburg station; but you have to be a F'burg resident to get a pass to park in the VRE lot so he's forced to commute to Quantico by car). As for the set times, as long as you don't see yourself working late or unpredictable work schedule then you can easily hash out a rough timetable for how long it takes. I do it, granted on a much smaller scale having to commute from SS to NIH via bus. Just a thought, when you're returning home instead of walking to L'Enfant from gallery place, why not start at union? It's closer equidistant* from Chinatown to Union rather than L'Enfant to Chinatown, plus you'll be at a terminus which means you don't have to look for seats.

Good, bad, or indifferent, any feedback is certainly welcome! I'm switching to VRE in June because the Metro repair work will make Blue/Yellow unusable most of the summer. I've taken it a few times to try it out and my colleague rides regularly. Compared to Metro it's a much cleaner, quieter, and more comfortable ride, plus your phone works the whole time. Generally faster though there can be issues with heat restrictions in summer. Biggest downside for me is the last train is fairly early (6:48 from L'Enfant on Fredericksburg line) making evening events for work more difficult.

mattie g Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Good feedback....thanks, biodhokie and Kingstonian! I live a walkable distance from Rolling Road, so it's incredibly convenient. I'd take the second train in and the first rush hour train back out each day, so that works fairly well. I don't see myself working long hours regularly, but my early-in/early-out schedule would allow for remaining in the city when it's needed. Good call on Union Station v L'Enfant, biodhokie. Per stats on the BRE site, it looks like that early departing train doesn't fill up, so I should be OK, but I'll give that a shot to see how it stacks up to L'Enfant. I've been working at either the Pentagon, in Crystal City, or at Andrews AFB for almost ten years now, so it's going to be a big change going back into the city every day!

nw baltimore wx Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Nice improvising! I'd love to try some.I do believe oxygen is the monster its made out to be. I can tell changes in hoppy beers after just a couple weeks due to oxidation. Not that its bad after that, just not the same and not as aromatic and hoppy. The Black Eye PA Susan turned out awesome and was a big hit at yesterday's annual party. I wanted to keg it last weekend to give it time to carbonate, but it was still fermenting slowly so I waited until Tuesday night and forced carbed it. I had never done that before but it worked fine. Original Gravity was 1.074 and final of 1.017, though I think I could have let it go another week to get it a tad lower. The keg was tapped at 10AM and was dead by noon, so everyone must have enjoyed it. I'm going to brew another batch this week to have some around for the early summer. Thanks again for the tips!
