Weird Al did a song on it, how can that not be included?

 

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

So eating out in the US is...interesting.

BTW for those of.you here, having a Founders Breakfast Stout is no big deal but for me a nice treat.

Mrs. Zwak & I and another couple are in the Willamette Valley of Oregon.  Yesterday we went to the Evergreen Air & Space Museum and saw the original Spruce Goose in person. (If you’ve never heard of it…look it up)

It’s big.  REALLY big!

What’s just as amazing is the from the date it got its first funding to its first and only flight was 5 years.  Designed and built in 5 years.

Saw you had a nice trip to MN for your sons graduation from the U! 👍 Those years sure go fast! My 2 sons graduated from the U in 2015 & 2020, respectively. As far as LAX, I concur, flew into LAX & rented a car in 1986. NEVER AGAIN! And I’ve been back to CA since then 13-14 times! Prefer to fly into San Diego, have a college buddy who lived there, now in Temecula. 🤠 Appears you had a terrific time in MN! Saw your pic with son & you look like an old time goalie who can probably still stop a puck in a men’s league game (in a pinch) after all these years 😄

An old time goalie before they wore masks right? 🤣 

It was a great trip.  Only 2 small negatives were some cooler temps/rain in the middle and we had to cancel a planned run to Duluth, but otherwise it was all we hoped for. Patti got to see some friends for the first time in 10 years, I went to a concert, took care of some yard work around the house for my dad, two cousins flew in from WA and AZ respectively to visit, had some great food (Amazing Thailand, Fogo da Chao (sp?), Quangs, etc., just a wonderful time.

We picked up a marionberry pie made by the Willamette Valley Pie Co. at Lunds & Byerlys a while back, recently heated it up. Delicious. Can only imagine a fresh one would be better!

When we visit my FIL on Whidbey Island WA we always get a fresh Marion berry pie at the Langley Pie Shop.  They also make a delectable caramel apple pie in the fall with home made caramel.  He LOVES pie, but at 90 and living alone, never gets a pie for himself.  A fresh pie means 2 nights of pie for the 3 of us. When he used to visit us I’d always make him pie, he likes peach and a sour cherry.  

Note: Due to inflation dirty deeds will no longer be done dirt cheap.
