nj2va Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Wow, Georgetown advances to the Big East finals. They’d be a bubble stealer if they win tomorrow night since they have no chance of making the tourney otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 It was Spades night and here’s the shared beers list. The one on the right, Nepenthe’s current version of Aphotic Ruin is outstanding for the stout fans. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I agree lol I was just curious. It’s a cool idea. Especially since some can be beer bombs. Would love to do something like that honestly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scraff Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Missed the beer talk tonight. Damn it! Gotta remember to check in from time to time even if no snow in the forecast. And that is almost always. LOLz. Anyway, aside from a few of the new Hysteria What You Want IPA made with Lucky Charms (it’s awesome), this one was the one that knocked it out the park. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vastateofmind Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I'm think I may have posted this particular choice a few weeks ago, but on this night of Spades elsewhere in the sub -- and when I'm trying to teach my wife Cribbage! -- I thought I would share this one (perhaps) again. Smartmouth is a damn good brewery.....we don't often get access to their stuff since they're down in Norfolk, but sometimes we do here in NoVA, and it's always good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormfly Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 It's funny how if its cold(ish) outside and I get the woodstove cranking and it's 85F in the house the wife is all cozy. Yet in July if it's a degree above 75 inside she's burning up! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sounds fun, although I am thoroughly enjoying our chilly desert-like day. With synoptic forcing increasing throughout the morning, showers and storms will fill in across southeastward Colorado. With the mid to upper level flow turning to the southeast, these showers and storms will move north-northwestward towards the urban corridor and foothills. Given the strong synoptic forcing and elevated instability, moderate to heavy precipitation will fill in during the late morning across our entire forecast area east of the Continental Divide. Soundings indicate the elevated lapse rates will be greater than moist adiabatic meaning thunderstorms, including thundersnow, will be likely east of I-25. The trickiest part of the forecast today will be the snow amounts during the day across the urban corridor and areas immediately to the east. There will certainly be heavy precipitation rates and with good lapse rates, snow ratios may be close to 9 or 10 to 1 as dendrite aggregates fall towards the surface. However, ground and road temperatures will remain relatively warm as temperatures have been above freezing all night tonight so some melting is expected early on. But once a heavy snow band or two moves over an area, the snowfall rates should be enough to overcome the surface warmth and create accumulations on the ground.

I've been at this for a long time and this current hike is the highest I can remember in this short of time. The pandemic caused mostly shortages on electrical supplies not much $ increase.. . Maybe 5% but this current increase was huge and happened almost overnight. I had occasionally be checking in on lumber prices since (like everyone else who retained their jobs) we were looking at a renovation. Commodity price movements have been aggressive.

Absolutely. Can't imagine making a DC-WV commute on a regular basis, but the trade-off is living where you and @Mrs.J live -- both beautiful areas away from all of the urbanization. My wife and I considered a move to Leesburg or just west of there many years ago, but I ultimately didn't want the commute from there and telework wasn't an option back then. I currently live only six miles from my job at Belvoir, however, with a ramp-up of in-fill residential/commercial development and many extra traffic lights added in recent years, what used to be a 15-20 minute commute a decade ago, turned into (typically) a one-way 30-40 minute commute just before the pandemic shutdown. I mean, that's just a ridiculous amount of time to traverse six miles, IMHO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Frederick to a point in areas is getting built up. We live in a neighborhood on the SW side. Very close to 270 and 70. But as it stands we still have many fields around us. Could change, but hope that by the time it does with both Miss J's in college we will downsize. I want a tiny house Mr. J is still not sold on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 In the planning stages for putting a big front porch on the house. We’re not going half-assed on this one - doing it all up. Pretty sure we’ve found the contractor to do the work, so the constant back-and-forth has begun. Hoping to have it done by the beginning of May. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
