Subsequent GTD reflections

Hello there fellow DFO’er.  Hope you’re well today.  And thanks for coming back to see last weeks comments of the week as decided by my brain.  There’s no reason as to why some comments make it and others don’t. Seriously. There isn’t.

This weeks cheesy motivational quote is:
The question that sometimes drives me hazy: Am I, or the others crazy [in bed]?
Albert Einstein

If you’re going to get crazy in bed, I’d recommend two things:
1. Stretch before
2. Get your partner’s permission
3. ???
4. Profit

As a reminder, Sunday comments stand alone and Monday comments will go on the next week’s post.

Note that during the offseason, I’ll probably look at the Sunday posts.

Without further ado, here are the comments of the week.

You folks have gotten all the good players [from the linemen draft], but I do recognize this left tackle from the past few years of watching the Steelers.

As mentioned before I have a little free library right in front of my place. Neighbor on our building placed it there in 2020.
I’m the unofficial curator of it.

Tonight I get home from work. Just off the freeway. Need to have a piss and a glass of wine but a neighbor who lives next door who I hadn’t met before is going through the library.

“Lots of good books in there right now” I say and she responded back.

“There are always wonderful books in here.”

We started talking about books and. I was in my driveway for 15 minutes talking to a neighbor about books.

I loved it. Could do that all day.
I’ve put Colson Whitehead books, Emily St. John Mandel books, Eric Larson and Philip Roth books out there.

Shit, people leave CDs and DVDs in there.
During the pandemic folks left unused COVID test kits in there.

It’s one of those little things that turns a block into a neighborhood and I couldn’t be more proud to assist.

Sure, it’s been tagged once, had the glass door broken but nobody fucks with it now because everybody uses it.

Paying it forward.
yeah right

Just so everyone knows – Litre has a great pile of friends. Half a dozen guys showed up to build a fence at his place this weekend and worked like pros. There were almost too many people for the job. Or at least that’s what I told myself while I slacked off and drank beer for three days.

Wild idea –

Potential 2024 U.S. Presidential candidate:

Former 49er QB Steve Young. He got laid off in the mass ESPN purge so he’s available.

Discuss.

Mrs. Horatio used to be a medical assistant. I’ve had a clogged ear for a few days, which I thought was from swimming. After tiring of my incessant “huh? What? I didn’t get that” she dug out some old equipment and irrigated said ear.

Folks, after several of what I can only describe as “ear douchings” there was a pop and a chunk of wax the size of my thumbnail came flying out and into the cup I was holding. It sounds, and is, gross as hell, but believe me when I tell you I can hear colors right now. Amazing.

At this point in time I can’t wait to start doing game intros again. Seriously, have we really been doing this thing since 2015?

I [RTD] opened up the house and let enough cool air in that it’s now 67° in here. Once the sun is up I’ll close things up, and we’ll see how much cooler it stays inside the house than outside. The high today is predicted to be 91°.

July 22, 2023 10:22 am
Currently 71°, and seems to be warmer outside than inside. Time to formally close things up.

July 22, 2023 12:25 pm
Currently 77° inside but supposedly only 80° outside. I don’t buy it, I was just out there and it’s way nicer in here.

July 22, 2023 2:49 pm
80° in the house now, 88° outside.

July 22, 2023 4:28 pm
81° now. It’s not too bad in here, run a fan at low power and it’s downright pleasant.

July 22, 2023 5:49 pm
Final entry: the house temperature never got higher than 81° – it’s 87° outside now so I’m opening things up and letting the breeze run through.

Good morning. Had a woman send back 3 bottles of the same wine as she said it was off last night. On the third I stated that maybe this isn’t what she likes?

“I know what I like and this (Sangiovese) is it, these wines are off.”

“I am sorry but they were fine, would you like to select something else.”

“I want a Sangiovese that isn’t off! What do you know anyway?”

“Le sigh, I have been doing this for 27 years, in 4 countries, 16 restaurants and have my sommelier papers.”

Husband comes to the rescue!
“Babe, I think he knows what he is talking about. Could you just bring us what you think will pair with our meal.”

“Absolutely, I will bring you a Chianti (Sangiovese) that is less acidic and a little bit dryer.”

Husband : “Thank you.”

He then gives me the look that this is what he deals with everyday. She enjoyed the Chianti I brought her but wouldn’t make eye contact the rest of the meal. He tipped me 30%. I have no problem with a shame tip.

Up at a friend’s house drinking beers. House next door is rented to UConn students.

The motion detector lights come on. An athletic young girl dressed in a tank top, (which no, does not cover all of her very flat, very tan, and very well-defined abs), comes walking over with a bottle of wine.

“Hi. We’re just staying next door for a few weeks for field hockey camp. Are you guys, (note, none of us are under or more importantly look like we’re, under 50), renting here? Do you know the owner? Do you have a (this is a direct quote) wine-bottle-opener?”

Me: (internally) OK, I should be hearing “bow-chicka-wow-wah” right about now and then Balls yelling “action!” but I do not have a script and my wife is 20′ away so I’m not sure….”

externally: “Yeah, there’s one on that table over there. Help yourself.”

internally: Nailed it!

This really happened. One of my friends had to help her with the corkscrew, then she changed her shirt in front of the open window. Bra was white. All the wives hate her and all the men are buying season tickets to UConn field hockey.

About the Monty Hall problem, there are 4 cases
1) You select the correct door, host opens wrong door #1 (16.7%)
2) You select the correct door, host opens wrong door # 2 (16.7%)
3) You select wrong door #1, host opens wrong door #2 (33%)
4) You select wrong door #2, host opens wrong door #1 (33%)

When the host opens a door (say wrong door #1), you can eliminate half of those, so you’re left with
1) You selected the correct door, host opens wrong door #1 (16.7%)
or
2) You selected wrong door #2, host opens wrong door #1 (33%)

Since 33>16.7 the probability that you selected the wrong door is higher and it’s better to switch

/wife and I are out in the middle of the lake swimming

Me: “What grade would you give us as far as raising the kids?”

Wifey: “What? I can’t. That’s too simplistic.”

Me: “C’mon. It’s just a silly question.” [thinking, “I hope she gives us a better grade than the B-minus that I have in mind”]

Wifey: “Ok…maybe a C-plus?”

Me: “Wow. We can’t be that bad!”

/after a bit more discussion we gave ourselves a very tentative “B”

My Dad also said “fair” and when pressed “B-minus.” My Mom responded “speak for yourself, I sure hell think we did better than B-fucking-minus.”

I have so much love.

Fuck it. I earned an A+ in upbringing.

Hell yeah. I want to do this every week.

Picaridin based repellent works as good as DEET for mosquitos, is better for ticks, and doesn’t smell quite as bad as DEET. However, it doesn’t last quite as long.
