2/3 of the way through. I should have done the West Wing second in retrospect… if I get bored I’d have an excuse for not finishing.

My grill buddy is back. The donut and muscle shirt come off tomorrow… he’s recovering from having a huge tumor removed from his underside. He still acts like nothing happened.

Someone at ScotRail is hipper than I am. I had to look up Oasis’ discography to get the references. 👨🏻🦳

Can anyone explain to me what happened on my Clipper card today? I was doing a test bike/train trip to work to see how hard it will be to commute by e-bike. CalTrain must think I'm crazy. I think the net result is that I paid $5.45 for a one-way trip?

I'm making mushrooms right now. If you're supposed to rinse them first, do you just wring/blot them heavily first before putting them in the pan or let it all steam off?
I think my pan was too hot... they are yummy, though.
