I have a ton of cleaning that needs to be done but I am just sitting, unshowered and in dirty clothes, drinking coffee and generally being lazy as shit.
I don’t even want to cook dinner and think I will just eat watermelon and cheese.

That’s my kind of weekend right there.

Ah, a true wordsmith for the ages.

Watermelon and cheese. My two year olds favorite meal.

@Butthurt Jordan Trombone (fka XTPD): Not getting out of the boat. What is it?

I’ve been working on a hammock stand to relax in my hammock that I’ve waited an embarrassingly long time to use. But it’s been damned hot all weekend, I just learned there’s yet another tool I need, and this feels more like work than relaxing. I’ll finish the thing next weekend. Time to read my Joe Halberman novel.

Unless you are prepping a patient for surgery , or maybe in parts of Florida or Texas, no cleaning “needs” to be done.

@Betty Cracker: Mike Huckabee (is it really him?) attempted to make a joke on Twitter about how Cruz meant to like “corn”, not “porn”. The comedy audience was not, shall we say, extremely receptive.

Recently stumbled across the Pac12 network on my cable thingie and have been enjoying soccer with my soccer kid and yesterday, watched Washington pants poor Fresno–they benched the starters early in the 3rd after scoring the seventh touchdown on the half’s second play. Can’t wait for conference play because now I have somewhere to watch it.

Didn’t wake up at 4:30 this morning, so I’ve been avoiding the F1 results. The replay keeps appearing on the NBC Roku app, refusing to play, then disappearing.
Oh well. I’ll catch the Seahawks and maybe they’ll have it fixed when the game is over. No twitter until then though.

@Ceci n est pas mon nym: Thanks! Snowflake Huckabee blocked me on Twitter a while back, so I missed it.

Those Annoying Ads
I know just about nothing about ads on the internet except some send me running for an ad blocker. And some are so not appropriate for the site as to be laughable.
I assume there are companies that line up the ads from other companies and feed them to web sites looking to sell ad space.
If so, might there not be a business opportunity for a company that let’s sites set filters for “green”, “fossil fuel”, “nuclear”, “liberal”, “conservative”, etc. ads so that Limbaugh’s radio show doesn’t get advertised on Juice?
And a select toggle for “auto-play videos”.

John, any chance of moving that Taboola click crap to after the comments? It’s tacky as crap and I am seriously thinking of turning my ad blocker on.
Edit: I used to click through on the Victoria’s Secret ads, BTW.
Yutsano
@Doug R: You should block Taboola anyway. I swear almost all their sites have malware.

That’s why I cook a whole lot of food when I have the energy and eat it slowly for months to come. Enjoy your lazy Sunday, John.

At the Angels game vs Texas. Sister and I received free tickets so we went.

I have chili mac on deck. Mrs J is making her famous chocolate chip cookies. Browsing the tubes in between reading pages of Ken MacLeod’s Second Law Trilogy. Keeping an eye on the radar, hoping for a shower.

@RobertDSC-iPhone 6: Go Anaheim! Texas were assholes after the Houston hurricane, refused to switch homestand weekends with the Astros.
Anaheim also has good peppers with the same name. And my ex gf always liked the A with a halo logo for her initial. First initial. Initial initial.

Reports of Brady’s demise appear to have been greatly premature.
Or maybe the Pats found a defense even worse than theirs
But Gronk and two of the three available wideouts got dinged up.
The over/under was 56; they landed right on it.

Work is piling up; no time for BJ; consequent psychic disturbances.
See you guys in late December (kidding, but not entirely).

John has such a busy and active life compared to me.
Edit: I also didn’t know watermelons went well with cheese. Learn so many things on this blog.

Made a pear pie last night that was too hot to eat for dessert. So that’s dessert tonight. For dinner, I’m making a grilled pork tenderloin with an orzo, Parmesan and basil dish and roasted broccoli for sides. Yum!

I see nothing wrong with what you are doing today.

Sportsball? Kansas City/Philadelphia was a good game. Both teams have a lot of talent; nice win for KC.

Thanks. Another new thing learned!

John Kelly says Mexico is on the verge of collapse. If my Photos get chosen for the ” on the road ” feature, you will see why I beg to differ. Let’s just say my girlfriend and I do not want to come home .

My version is even more lazy– I’m going over to a friend’s who will feed me watermelon and cheese!

@Brendancalling:
That John Kelly, confusing Mexico and Venezuela again. What a prankster!
p.s. When’s the invasion?

Oregon fall rains have begun! We expect plenty of rain from now until Thursday. It’ll take a few weeks of rain like this before the wildland firefighters hang it up for the year but this should be the end of wide spread smoke. Now the weather warnings include flash floods near the burns. Our Little N Santiam is forecast to jump from an ordinary summer flow of 21 cu ft sec to an ordinary rainy season flow 1600~1800 cfs by Tuesday. The transition is a bit abrupt this time.

@gene108: Watermelon salad with feta cheese and mint is awesome.

Sportsball open thread WOO HOO. Dublin beat Mayo in the All Ireland Senior Football match. Gaelic football, major big here. 80,000 people crammed into Croke Park to watch.
UP THE DUBS!!
Also? The entire city is drunk! Can’t get into a pub to save your life.

In a horrifying and tragic coincidence, I am also still in my pajamas and drinking coffee. I guess the only difference between me and Cole is that I was up until after 1 am taking a horde of teenage boys to and from a dance party – on a boat! – and then spent the morning making them breakfast and cleaning up the aftermath of their sleepover.
Boys smell.

Tony Romo is good. Is this b/c most other analysts suck? I don’t watch much billionaire socialists’ club ball any more, so it may just be a small sample size.

Axe and B.O. The enduring memory of my friend who recently retired as a middle-school teacher.

@John Cole:
Um…actually, that sounds really good if you’re in the mood, and actually rather healthy eating. And caffeine is one of the essential food groups, right? Right!
