I had to pick a few different guys on the Masters Fantasy. I'm in the top 1% currently on it. Didn't pick Dunlap on that one. He's killing me on this pick 'em.
Scottie/Bryson
Akshay/Min Woo
Keegan/ Brian Harman
Dunlap
Pedulla has been one of my favorite players in a while

Was supposed to go watch him speak on Thursday in Tupelo. He booked before he was SOS, but kept his commitment to still come and speak. We were going to be given tickets, but I think since he was appointed SOS the demand went up and we were told they overcommitted the tickets so we don't get to go now. We got bigger wigged.
Earlier in the game Paino slowed down so he could make a pretty backhand, but booted it instead of getting in front of the ball.
I thought the movie was good. Gave me small snippets of a lot of movies... Toy Story, Ready Player One, A Bug's Life, and AI. It was funny and tons of good actors had parts. I thought the CG was good. Great 90's throwbacks. Wasn't woke, just a good all- around movie.
A few weeks ago I wanted to make chicken stew and use a "real" chicken. No hormones or antibiotics. I went into one of our Mexican grocery stores for one of their "pollo de rancho or ranch chicken".

Got it home and boiled it. Went to pick the meat off it to put in the stew and it was so scrawny meat wise. The breast meat was maybe a chicken tender's amount of meat and dark. The skin was thick and rubbery. The thigh meat was lean with no fat. Drum stick was like wing drummies. And the wings were no usable meat. A legit working chicken is not fit to eat. I understand why chicken farmers do what they have to do to plump up their chickens.

I had to go to Walmart and get a rotisserie chicken so I'd have enough chicken for the stew. On top of that the Mexican grocery charged me $30 for the chicken and a loaf of their sweet bread... I figured that would cost around $10.

When I pulled up their parking lot was full. I walk in and it gets awkward... just a weird tension. I think they they thought I was undercover ICE. I look outside after a few minutes and all the cars were gone. This was when the deportations had first started and was fresh on everyone's mind. I'm pretty sure they charged me a "don't come in here again" tax on my chicken and bread.
Not on that Sunday.. chicken and dressing, fried chicken and fried pork chops. Simple things that were delicious were white beans, cabbage, creamed corn, sweet potato casserole, green beans, and mashed potatoes. They list themselves as a soul food restaurant and we were definitely the only white people in there but it was probably like Paula Deen type recipes.

The white beans had so much flavor. The creamed corn was about 4 types of different corn mixed in there. The sweet potato casserole had extra nutmeg in it. Cabbage you could tell had cooked for hours to get to that point. Same with green beans. That perfect mac and cheese with the toasted cheese on top.

Desserts were about 5 cakes and banana pudding. I got some hummingbird cake and my wife got caramel cake. Really too sweet for me.
Sunday, my wife and I wanted to eat somewhere different. I like spontaneity. We were in a town an hour away from our home, so different enough.

We had meat and 3 type place on the brain. First place we pulled in was closed on Sunday and PlanB had a long wait from the church crowd.

I was scrambling, googling while driving and found another place fairly close by. We pulled up and there wasn't that many cars so we knew there wouldn't be a wait.

We happened on a soul food Sunday buffet. This was the best tasting food I've eaten in a long time. We definitely added a spot in our rotation. I'll happily drive an hour to eat there again.

Murray State was winning 7-5 bottom 9th. We had bases loaded with 2 outs and we got a hit to score 2 and tie the game. Going to extras. Utermark has 2 solo homers.

My son needed an MRI of his knee... $1000 if we used our insurance (deductible) or if we went to another place it was $300 cash.

I had a pulmonary embolism last year... hospital costs were $65k, my out of pocket was $6500.

One procedure seemed like a rip, the other was kinda what I expected (or better)with insurance.

Since I had hit my max out of pocket on the embolism, I had my deviated septum fixed for nothing and that was a huge life changer.
Scrubs on both sides have been in for a while. Auburn set their season scoring record on us.
I figure the list will just be names and not what the people did. I want the videos and blackmail material... the incriminating stuff.

We've seen names on a list for years.
I scroll through my family's states looking to see if they have anything and see some of the same random people with 20 separate payments waiting (some adding up to thousands) and feel with social media and technology now, I could find these people and let them know about the money and how to claim it and get a finder's fee somehow out of the deal. Always thought that would be a fun side hustle.

Found my in-laws on there but it shows "shares of stock". They said they didn't want to mess with it.
I did a few years ago... told the wife to fill out the stuff because it was in her name. She bitched saying it's was only going to be a few bucks and was a headache getting the things notarized. A few weeks later..... $1900 check comes in.
I started watching The 1%Club Gameshow. I knew I'd have to deal with Patton Oswalt as host, but they always single out the 2-3 gay/trans contestants to talk out of the 100 contestants.

My son mentioned him to me yesterday...I don't like country type stuff, but damn this is good. LINK I'm liking all of his stuff.
