Hey, what gives? I see that KSU accepted funds from the same grant program as KU

Technically, our grant didn't go to sports either.

Not until self directs them.

You know that scene in Apollo 13 where they go into the room with a bucket of parts and say “invent something to save astronauts?”  Clams would have really thrived in that environment, engineering degree or not.

Would 'clams even fit in that room? Not that it would matter because he would have saved Tom Hanks no matter what it took.

Greg, you either need to invest in the greatest performing asset that has ever existed since it was created, or have fun being poor.

I wouldn’t listen to these boomers and their advice about even touching the stock market. Dump everything into bitcoin and retire early Greg

You get them sweet karoline black berries?

That’s not the brand but it’s just the organic ones I get from H-E-B

could you describe this as a “torta”?

Yeah I hadn’t really thought of that but I’ll refer to it as a breakfast torta going forward!

So my battery was expanding on my 14 pro and pushing the screen out. Had it about a year and a half and first iPhone to ever do that to me. I took it in to see if it had any trade in value and it didn’t because of that issues, sucks.

Anyways I got the 15 Pro Max 1TB about a week and a half ago. I’ve always had the regular pro and decided I wanted to try the bigger one, idk why I waited so long. I love the bigger phone and would never go back to the regular size one now.

What makes a bat a fungo bat?

It’s a wooden bat but the barrel is thinner than a normal bat. Most use a longer bat than you would ever use to actually bat with. The one I have always used is closer to the length of a regular bat. The reason most are long is it takes less energy to hit distance with, and because you swing a lot when hitting grounders and fly balls that make a difference.

But stevedore's (I'm not going to correct this autocorrect) is aluminum and looks like a regular bat to me?

He’s not a serious baseball coach.

Chorizo and pico omelette sandwiches hit the spot. Have the patio door open and the royals game on. Perfect.

I hit an hour of fungo ground balls to our kids yesterday and today my right hand feels like some 80 year old arthritis sufferer second finger knuckle may as well be made of lava.

You have a fungo bat, right?

I hit fungo to our softball team, I have a fungo bat but don’t know where it is. I also have the 32” one instead of the long one. It gives you a lot more control of where you hit the ball.

Intrigued. What am I looking at. Take me through all this.

Toasted gluten free bread, melted vegan cheese, jalapeño chorizo, poached egg. One topped with green pepper Cholula and the other chili garlic Cholula.

Best thing ever for my golf game was working with a pro that had one of these. Let's you feel a real swing plane/arc.

When crap goes awry, it's always my setup these days.

I'm going to try Ponaks today for lunch 

Since we are close to cinco de mayo I’ll share this story. Over a decade ago ShellShock and I went there for cinco de mayo. One half of the table was there for a good time, the other was not. I was on the fun side of the table. We had a good time. When we got up to leave several people clapped, we all took it as thanks for the entertainment, others thought it was clapping for us to leave. I personally thank those people because we were doing our best and go cats.
