@JohnInCarolina also makes good pizza. Man of many talents. 

It's that lithotrypsic poolish he uses.  

It is indubitably rather elastodynamicky.

Just messin, he’s fulla brains for sure. And a helluva cook.

Whoa, easy there Ke-mo sah-bee.  He can barely fit his head through doorways as it is.  He doesn't need accolades from here too.

Funny you should post that; I was just thinking that I needed to revisit my understanding of nano-pulse lithotripsy. 

We can discuss tonight in the Zoom

I just marked all my wife's emails as "read."  Next up....deleting drafts, but probably not.

Being old, I just scheduled an appointment for the latest Covid juice shot (this will be #7) this weekend.  Got the flu shot today. 

Never met a shot I didn't like.

Number 8 gets you a free pizza. That's a lot of COVID shots

Wondering what @JohnInCarolina is going to do with all his free time.

The muddle factor has taken full effect, this week. The numerous European competitions have kicked in which means two things; Greta will be displeased on behalf of the polar bears given all the Gulfstream activity, and the workload of last season’s top 7 has doubled. Perhaps an equalisation more than muddle? 

Saturday

Palace v Fulham, identical form across the last 5 and all things point to a workmanlike narrow result in this particular London derby. 1-0

Luton v Wolves, already the press are citing the Derby County 2007-08 season which saw them amass 11 points in total in articles about Luton.  Too soon? Yes, but pertinent - they scored twice and have zero points at this point.  If that sustains for a few more weeks the players might implode. However, Wolves are a bit rubbish, so there’s hope. 1-1

Man City v Forest, second season syndrome has not struck Forest so far and they confront an injury rattles City,  but it’s City and they just rates in an another bunch of superstars. 2-1

Brentford v Everton, The Bees have misfired recently and the Toffees are still abysmal upon the pitch.  Off it though, the Americans have arrived.  This time it’s 777 Group, out of Florida USA and in no way linked to the export of a popular crop across Central America. 1-0

Burnley v Man Utd, it’ll click for Kompany at the helm of the Clarets sooner or later and Man Utd are in all shades of disarray.  2-1

Sunday

Arsenal v Spurs, the other London derby this weekend and great timing. The Gunners have hit their straps and spurs are playing for fun.  Hopefully it’ll be game of the ages, 9-8 or similar. Hard to call, but nil all seems highly improbable. 3-2

Brighton v Bournemouth, well - who knew? Those pesky foreigners are not read in on all the memos and  soAEK Athens did the unimaginable by beating the filthy Seagulls last night.   The absolute cheek of it! Never mind, the dreadful so far they season Cherries have been lined up to mop their tears by rolling over to a lame defeat. 1-0

Chelsea v Villa, the Chels’ remain in rotten form and Villa also played in Europe last night - so unlikely they’ll score int he 10th minute of ‘over-time’ as they did against the mighty Eagles last week. Dog with fleas stamped all over it.  1-1

Liverpool v West Ham, should be a home win. Both embroiled in far from Net Zero mid-week games which can muddy the waters a tad. Unremarkable 2-0

Sheff Utd v Newcastle, the Blades’ single point is only just shy of what was predicted at this stage, the Toon on 6 is some way short.  They’ll come good where as the hosts are likely to not, especially in this spirited but inevitable home defeats 0-2.

There you go, some much needed structure and excitement for your weekend. What would you do without me?

Do you have a similar solar panel challenge?

No. Was just curious. I am often a bit wary of Solar and batteries, because I feel like mileage varies significantly. Just wanted to see how you were making out. Pretty well, it seems. 

Sunny afternoons lately helped, even with moderate backyard activities the battery charge never dropped below 100% since.

Was 64˚ in the house this morning, so I finally did a deep-dive into that stupid Lennox S40 thermostat controlling my new heat pump/furnace system.  Downloaded another "Owner's Manual" which said the same damn things as the others, but I could only control the A/C temp from the thermostat, which is normally a black screen about 4" x 6".  There are three horizontal, short lines in the upper-left corner (the standard "Menu" option), but it never responded to me touching it, only the A/C thermo.  
I touched it, "clicked" it, "hard-pressed" it, double-clicked it, and it finally responded (and I can't remember what kind've press I used), and I was able to control everything else from then on.  I've never heard of a section of a touch-screen being ultra-sensitive, but I think that's the situation I have here.  Heat finally kicked on, full-blast.  After an hour or so the unit in the basement started a loud, thumping sound, about 1 Hz.  Was just about to call the HVAC guys and then it started to quiet down, and then went away; I'm assuming this was just some mechanical linkage getting settled in (first time using heat).  Once the house warmed up, the system has been whisper-quiet to inaudible, nice!  
 
This system was installed on 4 August.  My last utility bill, 1-31 Aug, was ~$48, just over a third of last year's electric bill.  I did a quick calculation and this new system should pay for itself when I turn 137; Yay!  It is fantastically quiet, and when it needs to be replaced again, hopefully I'll be dead.

Think of it as cost savings from big brother.  But I will go on the record as anti bad touch screens.  It’s 2023 and I can order McDonald’s from ones, outside that you have to hang your youngest kin at a 39 degree angle for 611 seconds to select heat not ac.

edit to note I quit reading about w/2 way through the touch screen rant

I’m more impressed his utility bill was only $50

Making gravy.  Wish I knew 20 years ago how easy it was.

About to order. In Decatur, Al.

It was all delicious. The chicken and brisket were the best meats. The Mac and cheese was the best I’ve ever had.

No pictures of the cook, but the warming o en was full, day 1 of a 2 day event

The fact that half the lights are out on that sign tells me it’s a great place.

I wondered that as well, but concluded it was likely S&P(?). Either way, looks amazing as usual, @lkapigian.
