If you end up at Nolin and golf, I’ll take you to Shady Hollow sometime. It’s my home course. Love it.

County Club had the best one of the week for about 3 years running, but I don’t think they even participate anymore (and don’t care to look).
I used to be a big fan and try to get in as many as I could, until I (having a lot of friends that are bar/restaurant owners) learned that the restaurants have to PAY the promoters $5k just to participate. And that was a few years ago, I’m sure it’s more now.
It ended up being a net loss for most of them with a lot of people only stopping in for the burger, not to mention just acting like demanding assholes in general (surprising that most of the general public sucks, I know).
I kind of dig the spit in your face move that some places do now, just offering their own $5 “special burger” during the same week.

HERES OUR 7 DOLLAR BURGER WEEK SPECIAL…
ONE 1/3 POUND FRESH PATTY TOPPED WITH PEPPER JAM, GOAT CHEESE AIOLI, DUCK FAT REDUCTION, AND PORK BELLY.
GARLIC FRIES ARE A LA CARTE AND ONLY 9 DOLLARS.
“Can I please make some substitutions and order the burger with just American, kethcup and onion?”
WELL. THAT’S NOT THE BURGER PARTCIPATING IN BURGER WEEK SO THAT BURGER WILL COST 15 DOLLARS.

I’d eat the hell out of a pepper jam, aioli, duck fat, pork belly burger.
Save the goat cheese though.

Wears Gucci loafs to bass fish.
Too good for aioli.

I come from the Ron Swanson school of burgers, myself.
Smash burgers, bacon, american, sautéed onions, potato bun. Perfection.
Reminder, current All Star EDLC is amazing.
Best burger for the $ around is in one of 3 places:
- Wilson's Pool Hall in downtown Versailles
- The Dixie Cafe in Keene
- Jordy Family Restaurant across the street from Toyota On Nicholasville.

Zip's.
Do yourself a favor, check out the Oklahoma burger if your gonna smash them.
Jackass star Steve-O is getting D cup implants this week, because why not? Plans to keep them for a couple of weeks for giggles them have them removed.
Just a couple of weeks ago he had Post Malone tattoo a dick on his face so yeah...he's doing well.
I still feel bad for him when Amy Schumer told him we all wished it was him instead of Ryan Dunn. That was just too much.
Justin Edwards with zero points in 18 minutes of action in summer league. His team scored 102.
Cal is something.

-Wait, are you guys saying Amy Schumer didnt get really hot as she transitioned into her 40s?!
-Lake Michigan for the 4th. It was fun, it was fine, the highlight was taking my FILs jeep grand wagoneer. Thing was like driving a space ship, had a damn screen in the glove compartment. Can’t wait for the electrical systems to all die out in 3 years
- Finished Sopranos, what a great show, sad it’s over. Think I might start The Wire next
- The Olympics start soon - always an entertaining watch - will be the first one my kids will remember I think - brings back good memories of me watching Carl Lewis and Flo Jo, Michael Spinks, etc.
- Summer GYERO always blows, about a month from getting out of the summer activities

Shady Hollow is one of my favorite courses, know it well. It is real a hidden gem. That 600 yard par 5 (#10 maybe ??), even if the last part of it is down hill, is a bitch for me. Love the Par 3 finishing hole. Have not played there in a little bit, Is Wyman still working there to get free golf ? He doubled as my golf attendant and tax guy for a while.

Lamont has rocked with us for 15 years.
My favorite part of the Olympics is the swimming which happens in the first week I believe. The sustained drama and changes that happen over a race is gripping. It isn't so fast like a track race that its over in a matter of seconds which gives way to the little moments that are easy to digest in real time. One of the all-time great moments in Olympic history was that relay with Phelps and company running down the favored French on that last leg barely out touching them for the gold. Chills thinking of it. The rest of the events are fun, and I catch them as I can, but swimming is borderline must watch for me live.
<------- would love to be able to watch The Wire for the first time. Probably my favorite drama ever. Probably my favorite show ever after Righteous Gemstones.
I also love asking guys wearing bowties if they are slinging bean pies. It gets me every time. Others not so much.

Have you not seen The Wire? What are your thoughts on the last scene of Sopranos?
Idk I’d McDonald’s does burger week but I do know I just stopped by the Palomar location for my daily ice cold Coca Cola, and buddy, they still do that right
At first I was disappointed and dissatisfied, but then the more I thought about it it was a great ending. Basically made you feel how that life is - always under stress and thinking that anyone can kill you at any moment, even when out to dinner with your family. Thought it was a perfect way to end it. Haven’t seen the wire but heard it’s a good one.
The Wire is phenomenal, one of the best shows ever put on screen!
Happy for him, despite the asterisk (4.5" shorter basepath and pitchers can no longer hold runners effectively) And who cares if you lead the league in strikeouts and errors and can barely hit your weight.
May/June: .238 avg w/ 74 K's (strike out rate 35%)
Just imagine if he was actually good...people would go nuts.
Quick bored at work randoms…
“Bet you’re glad to move away from FL and get away from that heat”. F that noise, CT been hot as hell and no beach breeze.
Good news is off to PHX next wk where it’s a cool 113…. Also no ocean breeze.
Feels like we’ve been in July for 3 weeks already and it’s only the 9th.
Kids turn 5 and 3 in the next couple wks. Age 2 was a breeze compared to what is going on in my house right now.
Don’t really give 2 shits about the Olympics. Will watch some track and field and maybe a little bball but other than that, get me to football.
Any other updates besides lighting for commonwealth stadium this fall? Been 7 years since I’ve been and can’t wait to get back.
Picked up golf on a more full time basis. Game is as inconsistent as it ever was. Three triples and three pars in first 9 holes.
