Y'all need to try it from Sparky's in Marathon I need to try the pizza that @CAPE just suggested. That sounds absolutely heavenly And Happy Birthday @vastateofmind and @Always in Zugzwang!!! Thank you!! Hope you are doing well these days yourself... Mangoes are great, especially fresh (never had them right off the tree though). The only thing is peeling and cutting the damned things! I've seen videos, tried it myself, but it's a mess anyhow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Treated myself to a used Sigma 100-400mm telephoto lens, which arrived today. Nice! And in excellent shape for the price as used. Tried it out a little, works great, but damn it's kinda heavy especially on the full frame Canon I have! Thank goodness for image stabilization! It's not all that extremely heavy, and much lighter than some other really long telephotos, but definitely need to be careful lining up a shot (especially at the long end). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanging in there down here. Was in the Austin/San Antonio area this past weekend. Had a blast. Ate a lot of great food, including some world class BBQ (Snow's BBQ in Lexington, TX is UNBELIEVABLE). Back is healing up slowly, but I'm stoked to see a world renowned chiropractor in SC in early April. Should do wonders and get me back near 100%, so I'm very excited. Started my own food review blog on Twitter. Slowly gaining traction. I have a domain all set and just have to set it up in full. Will have that up and rolling soon. Lots of travel plans this summer. Hopefully everything is going well back east! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, since you have an upgraded tool (and obviously the skill!), please do share some springtime pics in the coming weeks. Absolutely love when folks share pics here and in other threads...and not just of beer pours. BTW, as a fellow chess aficionado, I thought you'd appreciate that I treated myself to a Kindle copy of "The Queen's Gambit" today, the source novel that inspired the hit Netflix series. It's on sale on Amazon for $2.99 right now and is well reviewed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's cool about "The Queen's Gambit!" Haven't seen that. And glad to see another chess aficionado, though I'm probably not all that good (not as good as I was when I used to play more). I still enjoy reading about some of these historical players and their games/tournaments, especially the older ones from the early and mid 20th century. Capablanca, Lasker, Tarrasch, Bronstein, etc. I believe @yoda is a chess fan as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I come from observing in the southeastern tornado outbreak thread all afternoon that the rush to declare things over or not as bad as expected is even stronger there than it is here when snow is in the forecast.

WVclimo Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 My sixth grader has had quite a tumultuous school year. Attended school 2 days a week for the first 6 weeks, then had 13 weeks of remote learning when the schools closed. Followed by 3 weeks of 2 days a week again, and then finally got back to 5 days a week for the past 6 weeks which made a world of difference for him. Best we have seen him do in a year. Yesterday we got word he had close contact with a COVID-positive student and was being quarantined from school for 10 days. Which actually will be almost 3 weeks since his time ends at the beginning of a week-long Spring break. I told him he should shoot for straight A’s in the last quarter as an FU to the whole damned pandemic. He liked the idea. Hope he stays healthy and motivated. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It’s nice to watch the O’s live tonight. I like their lineup defensively. I wish they had some pitching but they’ll be fun to watch this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to see improvement with the bats and defense. I already know pitching is going to be abysmal. Still fun though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Oh my 3 alarm fire in my mouth. We decided to order in Curry. Well I thought that the last time I had done the chicken platter spicy and was fine with it. Well I just got done with it and my eyes will not stop watering and my mouth and lips are stinging. Obviously either I got it mild last time and it was just kind of spicy or I got it spicy and they amped up their spicy. Sinuses have cleared way out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can eat skinned apples just fine so that is what we do. Can she try apples off the tree from an orchard? I thought they only put pectin on the apples to preserve them when shipping and to give that fake shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
