Fun on the bun.


The Lunché Crew did Haidilao hot pot, Dani had her first Pizza Port pie and made cookies.

And food equipment

My father-in-law crafted a gorgeous cutting board stand for us.

And water

The fridge's water pump blew a seal somewhere and silently sprayed water on the wall whenever we used the dispenser. The replacement was easy, but it was annoying that it failed so soon (five years) and so surreptitiously.

Unrelatedly, I had to re-sweat a water pipe that hadn't been sufficiently anchored. There was another union inches from where this pinhole formed but they didn't think to fix the source of the problem.


Beer exploration visited Brewski's for some drafts, video games, and playoffs.


Cooley invited us up to the ranch. I hadn't been in a few years and the girls had never been. After coffee and camp pancakes we took the Can-Am, Jeep, and Tacoma up the trails. I initially said that my truck was far too pretty for washed out dirt tracks, but Jes really wanted to drive some more.


I caught up on season two of The Witcher. I've generally enjoyed the series and appreciated the added political intrigue of this season. I can't speak to the departure from the source material but some important character choices in this season seem to be plot-driven (and otherwise nonsensical).


The way they defeated the big baddie in the last episode was, well, convoluted and dumb. With Henry Cavill's departure from the series I'm not optimistic for its future.
