I was trying to enter a middle school track meet yesterday but it was $5 and I didn't have any cash on me. So I told the lady I was going to my car to get some cash, but then I just went to the other side and went in.

SILO on AppleTV is pretty good. The first couple episodes were really good, and then the middle was a little fluffy, but I keep watching because I really want to know how it ends. I have one episode left.
it’s pretty good, common is a terrible actor.  they’re filming a second season.

Yes, common was the worst part. They should have swapped his and David Oyelowo's roles.

Heading to Yellowstone/Grand Tetons with the family in July. Staying here for several days in Montana near Gardiner and the north entrance:




Any Yellowstone/Grand Tetons pro-tips?

that is an elite cabin.

my biggest pro tip is to go out early and late and avoid the middle part of the day. since you are staying so far away it will not be practical to drive back to the cabin over lunch, but you should be able to find somewhere to park and rest for a lunch nap. and prepare to drive forever. since you have an elite cabin to store all your luggage, it will be nice to drive around in an empty car, other than food and water for the day.
looking forward to your write up and photos afterwards!

Awesome, thanks mocat! We plan to spend at least 2 full days in the park, maybe 3. But knowing how crowded the park can be I wanted a home base that was also out in nature where we could hike, view wildlife, fish and relax away from the crowds. The cabin is surrounded by 70 acres of private hiking trails and access to the Yellowstone River. The plan is to get as close to camping as we can without actually camping.

I'm also hoping for clear skies because I would love to be able to take advantage of the dark skies for some astrophotography.  :drool:

that cabin  :love:

It will be long drive to the Tetons from Gardiner.  Are you thinking a down/back day trip or will you stop on the front or tail end of trip?

Rent canoes or kayaks at Colter Bay on Jackson Lake.  Paddle around the little bays/coves in the area.  Pick out a quiet shoreline spot for lunch.  View of peaks across the water is incredible.

Good hiking around the smaller lakes south of Jackson Lake.  We enjoyed a loop with Bradley and Taggart Lakes.  Jenny Lake is probably the busiest area, but worth a drive buy and photos at minimum.

The Tetons will be on the way home. You're right, much too far for a day trip from the Gardiner cabin. We're going to stay near Jackson at least one night on the trip home. Thanks for the tips!

I know it's trendy to hate Rudy, and I honestly wish I did because I can see why people make fun of it. But I love it. I love it so much.

My wife and I recently stumbled upon a gem of a movie on Netflix titled 'Yesterday'. Has anyone seen this? Unique premise and we really enjoyed it.

We also watched Damsel with Millie Bobby Brown. It was pretty good. It was fine.

Is this the one where they Mandela Effect The Beatles? It's lovely.

Yeah, it was great

DILEMMA: I need to overseed my lawn right now. It has lots of bare patches and is basically a joke. But if I seed now I can't put down crabgrass preventer for like 6 weeks. What do I do??

I don't think who POTUS is tangibly changes the lives of a vast majority of Americans.  HOWEVER, Trump exposed the emotional fragility on both sides of the spectrum, mostly because he was so emotionally fragile himself.  He was unique in that he was actively inflammatory.
His policy didn't change many lives but his rhetoric did.  So because of the current condition of America I do think it's important to elect peace makers, unifiers, and others who are actively ANTI inflammatory.

Yep. It's important to elect unifiers. And for the 3rd time in a row there are none to vote for!


we've all changed since 8 years ago. i'm glad you've found a politics-related thing that you think is important (electing unifiers?)

If there is one thing we know for sure it's that this election is very important.  Lots of things will change for the worse if one certain person gets elected over another certain person.  So make sure you vote because this is important.  Things will not basically stay exactly the same in your day to day life regardless of who the president is.  A lot is at stake.  And there is definitely not basically nothing at stake.

Yeah! We're all growing and changing. Except for the presidential candidates we can choose from. They are staying the same and dying.

Oppenheimer has me spinning in circles. Did it suck complete balls? Or was it one of the best movies I've seen? I go back and forth. So I guess it was just ok?

Loki is a really good show imo. I'm watching it with my 13 year old and we're almost through season one. I thought it would be bad, but I was wrong, it's very good.

My parents go to south Texas every winter in their RV. They play tons of golf and pickleball. Seems fun.

Keeping with the theme of the Nazi Atlantic wall construction of KU Memorial Stadium - something that even the unknowing construction eye would immediately pick up on. 

The old girl proved not to be a soft underbelly, but rather a tough old gut in the demo process.

The amount of reinforced concrete in that ol' gal ... Someone said, and I admittedly have not confirmed it, that it was more concrete than was used in the Hoover Dam.

Admire that someone's ambition, but no.  The amount in Memorial was maybe 1-2 days' worth of concrete placed at Hoover.  They were running concrete continuously 12 hours a day for a couple years with only Christmas and Thanksgiving off in general.  In another measure, the amount of concrete in Hoover Dam would cover a football field to a height greater than the original World Trade Center Towers.

Yeah Spracne you stupid idiot.

Another Topeka note: I recently went to Iron Rail Brewing with my family for the first time and it was great! Nice work downtown Topeka!

@Saulbadguy, what are your thoughts on Iron Rail Brewing?

A nurse from Topeka had to post a PSA that you don't have to drink the water WHILE it's boiling for it to be safe because of how many people had shown up to the hospital to be treated for mouth burns.

Hell yeah Top City.   :D

KT might have won the Chiefs the Super Bowl with that punt return last year. So losing the Chiefs the Super Bowl this year would be a nice bookend for his time in KC.
