I packed up the leftovers into vacuum seal bags. Into the freezer and now I don’t have to cook dinner for however many bags I got.

I forgot that he sued MLB for racial discrimination for being passed over for World Series assignments. MLB said, “it isn’t racial, he just isn’t good.” The judge agreed with MLB. He appealed and the next judge also sided with MLB.

The longest game I remember was an Orioles/Royals game back in ‘85 or so. Even Cal Ripken couldn’t save that game. That was a low scoring game, and not because of a pitcher’s duel. It was just dull. Walks, batters that just couldn’t hit anything, lots of pitching changes, and it was brutally...

Not a fan of the automatic runner on 2nd. I’ve gotten used to the pitch clock and limited mound visits. Not a fan of the limits on throws to a base to hold a runner - it changes the game too much. Ricky Henderson would might have stolen twice as many bases if he didn’t have to worry about a...

I cut up the turkey this afternoon. 1 6lb bone in breast gave me 2 large boneless plus a bit of scraps. And I still have 1.5 slabs of ribs and about 5lb pork butt. Good times.

It’s unfortunate that even good umpires can become stained by a single, high profile, missed call. But players and managers understand that and do still respect those umps. Even an umpire that calls balls and strikes that don’t line up with the electronic strike zone are ok, as long as they...

They didn’t include my favorite. Pitch was dead center, couldn’t have been more in the middle of the strike zone. The batter took the pitch and it was called a ball. The catcher started to throw back to the pitcher, realized it hadn’t been called a strike, and stopped his throw. He then...

Mmm… Yesterday’s ribs made a great lunch today. The darker piece came from an end that had a little too much heat, pretty normal. The other pieces came from the center of the slab and look much prettier.

He’s in-famous. A quick Google of “Angel Hernandez missed calls” will show some highlights.

Recently retired Major League Baseball umpire. Had a reputation, and it wasn’t good.

The other slab looks even better. I can’t get a picture that looks as good as the ribs. They have a bit of scoliosis from where I had to get them to fit. Turkey is done, so just waiting on the butts to reach 165 so I can wrap them and finally get cleaned up and take a nap. Edit: They came...

I’ll add a little foil under the ends of the slabs for a little heat protection. Neighbor got a 4lb (half butt) and 2 preseasoned tenderloins. The tenderloins should be done in maybe an hour. They’ll get pulled and the temp probe will get moved to the small butt. I’ll add some lunch hotdogs later.

Getting ready to go in. Ribs are set and the fires are about 20-30 min away. Just started a pot of coffee that’s very likely to be Irish. Life is good.

Neighbor needed to change his shorts after seeing the price of corned beef so he picked up a couple of pork tenderloins and a small pork butt. As far as smoker space: I have 2 Weber smokers “Weber Smokey Mountain”, AKA “bullets”. 18.5” racks, 2 each. So I’ll put my two pork butts on a lower...

Prepping for tomorrow morning. The butts are loaded with rub so they can get all sweaty and sloppy overnight. I peeled the ribs, they get rub in the morning. The turkey looks pretty good, it gets seasoned in the morning, too. My neighbor will be bringing over corned beef sometime soon, I...

Will definitely be looking for it. It’s been a long wait.

Ahh. I’m a long time Android Avare user. I like it a lot, it’s worked well for me VFR and IFR. My Android tablet needs replacing and, for reasons, I will be switching to an iPad mini. A perfect solution would be an iPad version of Avare. My iPhone is loaded with flightplan go.

I found the github site with the download instructions for ios: download load it from the app store. But I can’t find it there.
