Thanks GB.  Obviously I should have consulted with you prior.  But now I’m almost done and only on beer #2.  Still wondering why I have so many parts left over, though?  
 

Somewhere in Mexico, workers are laughing about it.

it might just be me, but it doesn't seem like a good idea to block part of the tv.

@PattyD22 the problem is you didn't build a TV cabinet.  You clearly built something that goes in the Angels dugout.  Very nice of you.  Now the players have a new place to put their batting helmets and gloves.

Honestly @T.G., I hadn’t put the glass doors on it yet, and that’s strictly because @gotbeerconvinced me to start drinking beer during the process.  I also got sucked in watching Xander and the Angels both shit the bed.

I think I speak for everyone.  If you are going to break your meat thing.  Eat real bacon.

No one is talking about the missing submersible near the Titanic? 

If it ends poorly... what a horrible way to die.

GB posted a link about it being missing, which includes a video on what the sub looks like and how it works. in hindsight, it looks like a lot of bad decisions. 

i hope they're found before it's too late.

It is being reported over here that even if they find it, they won't be able to rescue it immediately. The small submersibles used to find the submarine haven't got the kit, they will have to arrange for another submersible to go down and grab it once it's been located. That will add several hours to any rescue attempt.

Where is this thread that @gotbeer posted this in?

I can't imagine what those people are going through.  Just a horrible situation.

Hopefully they just imploded because the sub couldn't handle the pressure.  Suffocating in a tube after days in there would suck

Newspapers in print form are dying away. Our local pizza place always has an LA Times sitting out for customers but long gone are newspaper racks. While waiting for my Spitfire to get cleaned up at the Fullerton car wash I picked up the free Fullerton Observer off of a rack and I had to chuckle at this article. 

It was the blue shirt description that made me laugh.

70% of the earth is water, and virtually none of it is carbonated. So the earth is, in fact, flat.

The oceans average 68 degress so it's also just room temperature.

Maybe we should call it “ocean temperature” instead of “room temperature”

That wouldn't follow along with a beer analogy joke.

Ever notice that when you go out to eat with someone - the person who usually orders the more expensive option usually wants to "split" the bill?

While picking up dinner tonight I had to walk by a higher end restaurant. They had a menu posted. The thing that caught my eye? Avocado toast for only $17. Silly.

Just used a piece of lumber that I had saved from at least 10 years ago.

@m0nkey I got my T-Swift tickets in the Ticketmaster bonus round. Section C110.

Wife got a text to buy tickets, so she got floor ones for 8/9.

 

A while ago I sold my original tickets and bought better ones for 8/8 so we're going back to back days
