I have reached the stage where slim fit dress shirts are too billowy and tailored fit dress shirts hug my spare tire and belly a little too closely. There needs to be an in between for โ€œdoes CrossFit but also enjoys IPAsโ€

Thunder rumbling in the distance. ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ

Given that our electric goes when a hedgehog sneezes this doesnโ€™t bode well for cooking dinner. I could use the gas barbecue if I have an umbrella I suppose.

@brad sorry about the electric, but thunderstorms make me so happy... especially with rumbling thunder in the distance ๐Ÿ˜

Patrick made muffins this morning and I can't stop playing the Cunningham Muffins (2007 ๐Ÿ˜ฎ) video in my head.

@motoridersd my leg day was followed by bike-to-work day ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@john @motoridersd from what I saw, it was not well attended. By my local stop did have "meadmosas" from Maryland Meadworks... At 630 in the morning ๐Ÿ˜…

@motoridersd well 34 miles later and I'm actually glad I did it, my legs are shot but they're not feeling sore anymore! (shhhh... don't talk about tomorrow)

Happy about my new ultra wide monitor but it wobbles a lot on the mount when I type. Will need to figure that out.

James,
@James@woof.group avatar

@john that was... Fast

James,
@James@woof.group avatar

@john also if you find a way to counter the jiggling, let me know. I've been dealing with it since I originally got my monitor.

James,
@James@woof.group avatar

@john I was thinking it was some play in my monitor arm, but I didn't want to throw $300 at a fancier arm if it wouldn't help.

I am trying my first "real" cheese! I've made ricotta a few times, mozzarella twice, and paneer once, but now I'm trying my hand at a more aged cheese. This is my attempt at a Bel Paese, which conveniently ripens at refrigerator temperatures (4C/42F). No need for a separate cheese fridge/cave yet!

As for this attempt, the rennet didn't set the curd as well as I was hoping, and the surface remained rough after "pressing". But we'll see in 3 weeks! Pic is from right after brining.

James,
@James@woof.group avatar

@motoridersd with any luck there will be plenty more to come ๐Ÿ˜…

James,
@James@woof.group avatar

@Isocat it's my improvised ripening chamber! It'll maintain humidity around the cheese while it sits in the refrigerator

@Dutchbear me too!!

I love that I'm being sent the news that the Death Becomes Her musical is going to Broadway in the fall. Now we need a NYC trip, @socalgecko when we going?

I recently started "washing" the fruit/berries I bought from the grocery store immediately after shopping and then putting them in the refrigerator in a clean container. I don't know why I haven't been doing this before... They're staying so much fresher and not molding over so quickly.

And by washing, I just mean dunking in a container of vinegar+water and then rinsing off.

Well, definitely wonโ€™t be renewing this SiriusXM subscription after our free trial. What is this bullshit โ€œU.S. Music Royalty Feeโ€? Like sorry you have to pay for the music you play ON YOUR SATELLITE MUSIC SERVICE???

James,
@James@woof.group avatar

@motoridersd @john I wonder if this works with YTM? YT Premium was an unexpected (but welcome) perk that came after the transition from GPM to YTM, but YTM was the goal. Patrick and I have a large collection of ripped CDs of trad/folk music that isn't on most streaming platforms, so we needed the storage service.

Part of me is also worried about breaching the terms of service on a Google product because I'm worryingly dependent on Google services -- if my account was suspended I'd be fucked.
