So the deck augmentation continues this week after a calm week last week (3 "weeks" in 7 words). Got a LOT done when it was 8 degrees but last week when the weather got warmer the rain or chance of rain hurt.
Then Thursday a lot got done . . . . but . . . OH OH. You know those shingles are suppose to match a LITTLE closer then those right? Well, they are going to redo the shingles. We probably would have never noticed actually.
I was talking to the head dude this morning and he said they were so fast by the time he checked they were done. HELLO - maybe the roofers might have noticed?? The photo does not do justice.
OH - we did not check with the dead beat association since it is the same foot print and seriously - the "association" does not care in the slightest. The last thing they want to do is deal with residents and the last thing residents want to do is wake up the association.
This week the deck will will start to look like something. Flooring, ceder siding, roof and a new railing system will go on.

Columbus was on two national evening news. I believe ABC we were "Midwest" and "Columbia County" with an interview with a Columbus resident being rescued and NBC news actually said "Columbus Wisconsin" with scenes for Columbus rescues.
But Nebraska took our thunder with THEIR flooding. Nebraska has a new slogan It LITERALLY is .
which are getting a large play and a big uptick in their tourism website.
Omro calls themselves "An Involved Community"
The Carriage Master had a great slogan for Columbus
"Columbus - We Bitch About Our Community, But We Do It As a Team"
In Omro every historic building has a plaque for people wandering around to read and spend MORE time downtown and learn about the history. Columbus Tourism NEEDS to do this. Many people do not know Columbus even has such a history. HECK - The trees that surrounded Columbus BUILT Madison for gosh sakes.
If you want to get people talking about "us" you have to give them something to talk about - RIGHT?

New rules in MLB this year and big changes next year
This year are small things.
Commercials will go from 2:05 minutes to 2:00 for local broadcasts and 2:25 to 2:00 for National.
The trade deadline is changing. The non-waiver Trade Deadline will go down a month. This rule looks more like the National Tax code book but will changes things.
Voting for the All-star game will be changed and the HR Derby will have a million bucks added to the contest
NEXT YEAR are BIG changes.
Mound visits will go from 10 to 5 in a game
A pitcher MUST pitch to at least 3 batters UNLESS it is the end of an inning. BIG CHANGE.
A team will have 26 players as opposed to 25 all year
September call ups will only add TWO players to 28 and not the 40
Disable list will go back to 15 days from 10 days. Some teams were cheating a little.
Teams will have to designate ,on day one, if a player is a pitcher or an position player and a position player can ONLY pitch if a team is up or down by 7 runs AND it's after the 7th inning.
WELL!
Meanwhile my SOM team has a serious Catcher issue but looking at MLB, there are just not many catchers out there. ESPN had an article of the 10 best catchers of the decade. Jonathan Lucroy was among the 10 best . . .really?
Of course I also read an article saying Minhaus Brewery was one of the top 3 craft brewery in Wisconsin so I take a grain of salt with professional reviews. I go with what REAL people think.
Minhaus Brewery - The creator of Lazy Mutt. The worst beer in America. From Beer Advocate
geez, I don't know what to say. I feel like a was a volunteer in a cruel medical experiment. I picked it up because it had a great gimmick, an eight pack for a six pack price. Sounded good at the time but now I have to dump out seven beers instead of five.
Poured into a pint, really cloudy, like unfiltered apple juice.
I thought at first that it was tainted or rotten, but after reading the other reviews it appears that it's just really terrible. Not much more to say about it, avoid at all cost.
+++++
Wow, it's hard to really get a good feel for this beer as you just want to drink it as fast as possible - and not in a good way.
It's a cloudy champagne color, and the head disappears soon after it's poured. It smells a little fruity, but a lot like hot wings.
The taste is a little sour at first, but goes straight downhill from there. I really don't know how to explain the taste, other than just plain terrible. The aftertaste sticks around for thirty minutes and is not pleasant. There's hardly any feel to be had.
All in all this is the worst beer I can remember ever drinking. The worst part is the aftertaste that sticks with you. I see no reason why anyone would pay to drink this beer.
******************
Speaking of reviews - I like to look at Flixter to see what REAL people think of movies. The ones that actually WANT to see a movie as opposed to HAVE to see it.
Captain Marvel is getting a 62% rating so far. A little disappointed but it's a meet and greet movie which are always a little slow - still want to see it. What surprised me is Alita: Battle Angel which is 94% with 12,000 votes. Green Book is 92%, Star is Born 80% , Bohemian Rhapsody 87% , Mary Poppins Returns 69%, The Favourite 67%

I see our delusional communist President had a tweet storm this weekend flaming everybody from John McCain (dead) to EVERYBODY else except white nationals (very fine people) and Russia.
I watched a show called "Russia If You're Listening' that went over ALL the issues in the last 2 years with Trump and Russia and O M G so many things we have forgotten about. Trump Jr. saying he NEVER met the Russians, then saying maybe but only because of adoption and the changing the story again.
This is to be the stupidest family that continually implicate themselves every week. We don't need Mueller at all. Just listen to what comes out of Trumps mouth is enough to lock him up. HELLO KNOCK KNOCK ANYONE HOME?
Trump is just a Putin puppet. The former head of the KGB vs. a brainless ego-turd and the GOP just follow along because they are more concerned with votes then America.

OH - That Plaza Sauce clone I posted last week - OUTSTANDING as a veggie dip AND amazing on burgers.

I need to catch up on Game of Thrones - I think I'm in season #4

The San Antonio Spurs have a bat issue. Three of their last 6 home games have been stopped because of bats. The issues is the AT&T Center is a giant bat cave that has basketball games every so often. It's 25 miles from the Bracken Cave which holds 15 million Mexican free-tail bats and is EXACTLY along their migration path.

A study found that in a work environment if you sat within 25 feet of a high productive worker you would get a 15% boost in productivity. Thank you balderdash. But of you sat within 25 feet of a poor worker you would perform 25% less . .thank you unnamed state worker.
I think my worst output as a State employee was when I TRIED to retire but they would not let me. I would come to work once a week . . . to do literally nothing and I told them I was doing literally nothing. In fact I told them 3 or 4 times "you really don't need me" I'm making $25 an hour 8 hours a week . . doing NOTHING.
But they needed me there JUST IN CASE ($200 million a year system with nobody that knows how it works because they all retired). After two freaking years and begging I was let go. I COULD have gone I suppose but . . . . geez $25 an hour LOL They hired contractors at $80 an hour to take my place. SAS programmers can go anywhere for big money. Legacy languages pay a LOT.

Nuff said for today - my year long self imposed "stay away from city council" is almost over.
GREAT week coming up - GREAT weekend.
