I am just watching some movies. Just finished Midway. Man those guys were badass. Great movie. Now I am watching Kill the Messenger. Pretty good so far. Can't wait for warmer weather. Maybe I will hit the lottery so I can move to Arizona. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

just finished barn chores with the youngest.  lit the BBQ and put chicken on it.  strong possibility i have a coffee cup with a dash of red pop in it.  will probably cut two of the sons' hair.  they both played some very good hoops today, is neat to see them play together and excel, even at this relatively young age.

we have loads of them so we are kind of spoiled in that regard.  we 'harvest' our chickens in the summer and eat them as the year goes on.  

a fun (for some, i hope) egg fact:  your monster, jumbo eggs in the grocery store are 70 grams each.  that is probably our average size here, and tonight we picked one that is 120 grams - it looks like an ostrich egg its so big.  when the weather warms we will get more of those.  we can't sell those because there isn't any type of egg carton that can hold them.  i think our all-time record is 130 grams.

when they get over about 100 grams they are almost always double-yolkers and very occasionally, triple-yolkers.  those yolks are in themselves more normal sized, but of course when you have two (or three) you have proportionally about the same as in the smaller eggs.

Sitting outside by the fire with a Manhattan and cigar.  It’s good to be the king!  The wife just came out with a movie recommendation, so I’ll be heading inside soon.

I’m three episodes into “Hunters” on Prime.  It’s Jordan Peele’s new project starring Al Pacino about a group of people that hunt Nazis in 1970’s America.  It’s off to a very entertaining and solid start.

Wife and I continuing our binge watch of Simpsons from the beginning.  I think we're around season 13 by now... it all blurs after a while.

Just got hime from a night on the town in the big city of GR. ;)

National margarita day did me in at Donkey Taqueria. Ready for bed but the sitter didn’t put the kids to bed on time so here we are.  Fuck.

Got the two youngest to bed. Chilling with the oldest. She's watching some family playing blindfolded hide-and-seek on Youtube. It's pretty much beyond my comprehension but whatever. I'm finishing Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff, took a break because the main character did something I don't like and I'm debating throwing the book on the fire.

Watching UMD play at Bemidji State in basketball. Second-best player got hurt yesterday, so this has been a slog, and BSU is bizarrely making every 3. Finishing up, not looking good.

After that? Prep for Sunday. Always the best day of the week.
