It’s about time I started classing up these posts, so I’ll add some artwork by a lesser known arrr-teest who specializes in mixed media and electronically processed images.
Dog Ponders Ball (2021)
So what do the stars have to tell us this week? Well, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Remeber how last week ended with a celestially auspicious itme to make a romantic (AND BY ROMANTIC, MEAN…) move? Well, all the good feelings generated then will need to be maintained, as the week starts off with Mercury and Venus passing the Moon, indicating instability in your love life. Those two planets play a continuing role throughout the week, indicating challenges of a more or less serious nature. On Wednesday, the Moon and Mercury Line up with the Earth, indicating instability at home (possibly of a good kind), And on Friday, Mars moves into that alignment as Mercury drops out, indicating trouble at home (definitely NOT of a good kind).
A Rare Moment of Calm (2021)
In addition to the alignments describing problems, the locations of the planets back this up. As far as general instability goes, the moon being in Libra is the biggest driver of tension or disequalibria you can get with just one visitation. It would be worse if MERCURY RETROGRADE was also there, but if that was in the horoscope, I’d be too busy putting the finishing touches on the bunker to tell you about it. Mars moving into Cancer this week lets us know that the problems appearing this week will be of a particularly nasty and spiteful sort. However, Taurus with the goodies of the Sun, Mercury and Venus counsels patience.
Spring Snow Falls on Fluff (2021)
While there are a couple of terrible cards in this week’s draw, overall it’s a pretty good week.
Taurus: 4 of Coins -The surety of possessions, cleaving to that which one has, gift, legacy, inheritance
Gemini: Page of Swords – Authority, overseeing, secret service, vigilance, spying, examination
Cancer: 6 of Coins -Presents, gifts, gratification, attention, vigilance
Leo: 6 of Swords – Journey by water, route, way, envoy, commissionary, expedient
Virgo: Death reversed – Inertia, sleep, lethargy, petrifaction, somnambulism, hope destroyed.
Libra: 8 of Cups – Joy, mildness, timidity, honor, modesty, the decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence
Scorpio: King of Coins reversed – Vice, weakness, ugliness, perversity, corruption, peril.
Sagittarius: Page of Coins – Application, study, scholarship, reflection, news, messages and the bringer thereof, rule, management.
Capricorn: 10 of Cups reversed – Repose of the false heart, indignation, violence.
Aquarius: 9 of Cups – Concord, contentment, physical bien-être, victory, success, advantage, satisfaction
Pisces: Knight of Wands – Departure, absence, flight, emigration. A dark young man, friendly. Change of residence.
Aries: The Devil reversed – Evil, fatality, weakness, pettiness, blindness.
The puppy hasn’t eaten the impeccably dressed rat?
Adorable.
A cheap, tawdry, and thinly-veiled excuse to post adorable puppy pics. I approve.
Do you do that so we could take some small degree of solace in them during the sucky week to come?
Seconded
^This.
“Cancer: 6 of Coins -Presents, gifts, gratification, attention, vigilance”
Sweet.
Sagittarius: Page of Coins – Application, study, scholarship, reflection, news, messages and the bringer thereof, rule, management.
How much is that in rubles?
What an adorable puppy! I’m just melting into a big puddle of emo here…

In the future, Democrats want to call this 6+ months of red meat rations. Fuck them.
Looks like six hours ration.
Those look delicious.
I’m roasting a chicken this afternoon. I guess I need to make a marinade right now. Bourbon, maple syrup, smoked paprika, black pepper. That ought to do it.
Raised right down the road. https://m.facebook.com/Willauer-Farm-234108890115249/
Locally grown meat? Hyperion is gonna’ accuse you of being a hipster. You probably drink over-hopped IPA.
Who cares what that hipster thinks.

Cheese brats from a local source too. Going on the grill after the steaks.
Food prep for the week – four for me and four for her.

I ain’t no hipster though.
Scrapple is a “quality” meat?
Scrapple is a “quality” meat?
Scrapple is fucking delicious and Food of the Gods.
Ok, so I am misinformed; not unusual. Apparently what I ate, and subsequently projectile vomited when visiting Grammy in Williamsport was not made from the quality ingredients I see listed now. No one else puked, just me. Which is fine, since it looked like it had been eaten once already.
/hides his hazy IPA from Fat Heads
Serious question about IPAs. I have tried a number of IPAs from different breweries. I have never cared for them. Meanwhile, they appear to rule the beer world. Is this just a matter of taste or is there some genetic component a la cilantro that makes IPA a turn off for me?
Some people just like fruity hops I guess. I was big on them them for a while, but now they’re more an occasional thing. I prefer a true English IPA actually.
/deletes about an article worth of comments
A lot of it comes down to the hop varieties used, and when they were added to the brewing process. To break it down, there are four different times for additions:
1) Bittering – Hops that are boiled for 30-90 minutes will lose most flavor and aroma components, and just add bitterness to the beer (to balance out the sweetness from the unfermented sugars from the malt)
2) Flavoring – Hops that are added with 10 minutes or less to the boil will add some flavoring components to the beer (as well as a bit of bitterness).
3) Aroma – Hops added in the last couple minutes of the boil (or during the cooling process) are being added to impart aromas (and a touch of flavor).
4) Dry Hopping – Hops added after the brewing process is complete, during fermentation (or after) are added for big aroma notes.
IPA’s are one of the easier styles to make mediocre, and one of the hardest to make well. They’re also popular, and have a short turn around time for production, which makes them popular for small breweries to get their product to market.
Not liking a style isn’t a problem, if you’ve had the best (Two Hearted – Bells, Blind Pig – Russian River, Stone IPA) and didn’t like them, I’d need more information as to what you didn’t like about them to make other recommendations. Meanwhile, I’m not a fan of Marzens, Pumpkin beers, ciders, or most dessert beers.
Supertaster?
I don’t like many IPAs, but I really like Two Hearted Ale.
Used the last of the rib rub I made up last month. Evan Williams, and maple syrup. The chicken is bathing comfortably in its marinade. I ‘ll riast it low and slow, and slather in bbq sauce at the end. Looks like we have some andouille, so i’ll roast and slather those too. Pimento cheese. Collard greens. Gonna need more bourbon.
Those are the weirdest euphemisms I have seen on this site.
And some Funyuns. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120693/quotes?item=qt0426756
They include a pistol in the meat ration? Hmm…. it might not be that bad then.
But no bullets. I’ve seen yet another headline saying: Gun regulations have failed, let’s try ammo regulation instead.

Journey by water, route, way, envoy, commissionary, expedient
Huh. Not sure if this is sufficiently shitty or not.
Virgo: “…the decline of a matter, or that a matter which has been thought to be important is really of slight consequence.” Some heavy duty philosophy for a mere card reading. ’bout sums up a lot of life.
Pretty windy here the last few days so I had to go out and pick up the detritus that came to a rest in our yard. Not just the usual tumbleweeds and empty Doritos sacks – now , I’m finding something new: face diapers. Does my lawn have the ‘vid?
Is it over five foot high? Was it out after curfew? Did it socially gather (but not for a protest)?
Not for the right kind of protest. Anti-mask protests are evil, but BLM protests are virtuous.

Gentle listening for a Sunday morning coming down. https://open.spotify.com/album/3yOfc5cP8x1x2Un1F0QkgT?si=hpA8gCjlSaylSOiakm8kVA
Inspired by The Wanderer and his Dion avatar. Good listening.
I’ll just say, MCU writers have totally lost track of what Vibranium does.
It vibranes, doesn’t it?
Nah. It does whatever the writer needs it to do, like most invented materials.
I think the only one that writers have stayed consistent on is Adamantium. Even that is questionable, as it has been both able to be manipulated by Magneto and not.
Well shit. Got up, did some errands, picked up around the house, set up the bike stand, put the bike up in it, and see that I need to take it in for more work then I’m willing to do at home.
At least I’ve got the road bike until the hybrid gets tuned up and fixed.
She is adorable.

Word. ?
So an average week, then.
Yup.
Just missing incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
I’m close to smearing shit on the door handle of my neighbor (theoretically of course). He’s playing “Closing Time” I’ve made worse decisions in my life.
How many speakers do you have in your house? Can you move them to be pointed at their house?
Relevant
You don’t know who you want to take you home?
What, you want him to play Get a Grip?
If he plays “American pie” again no jury would convict.
Shit, I would pin a medal on your chest.
What kind of person hates on Don Mclean?
His ex-wife?
Leading scorer in Pac -12 bball. UCLA phenom, from Simi Valley. Decent NBA career. “The Snake Killer.” @wearitsnake
He’s hilarious. Voice of the Clippers and Pac-12 analyst, too.
Did someone say “cute puppy pics?”:

Wookiee dog! Havanese?
Approx. 50/50 Shih-Tzu/Bichon Frise; the “approx.” is because a Yorkshire Terrier was introduced into the bloodline about twelve generations back, specifically to get the fur colour.
Awwww anyway. Male or female?
She. Well, it, actually. But she’s my buddy.
Dust bunny cleaning tool?
Only if we spray her with Endust first. ;-)
Bubba Wallace is a cunte.
Now what did he do?
Brushed the TV Mike away when they were trying to interview him. Sponsors don’t like that.
Now the SJW sponsors can deal with pulling or not renewing their sponsorship. Good times.

In the too local news.
‘We have never felt unsafe in our neighborhood until now’: Coyote chases woman with dog near Alewife Station
She may have said it, but she’s fucking wrong.
A massive coyote will weigh 45lbs. The largest ever killed was 75lbs. I highly doubt she saw a song dog that’s 20lbs larger than even very large coyotes.
If her pit bull was worth even a single shit, he’d tear that coyote to pieces if it attacked them.
Given the huge number of rabbits around here, I’ve been surprised we haven’t seen coyotes around here before.
Alewife sees a lot of wildlife – I’ve seen deer in there.
One of the west side suburbs has had coyotes move back in. There were several local news stories that were explaining to people how their “outdoor” puppies/cats/dogs disappeared.

I seem to recall that Brazillians have been dominating the sport. But don’t let reality get in the way of your race baiting.

The first “white” name is #10
Those guys are guilty of being successful in a competitive field and not acting like victims, so yeah, they’re white by association.
I wonder when people will realize that by elimination, BLM and the progressive associate poverty, criminality, failure and being a loser in general with being a POC.

You people are killing me with pups.

We were driving by Petsmart, and the wife asked, “Want to go in?”
WTF. She said no more pets until we move to wherever we retire to.
Aww

Kinnath’s horoscope: Your sheep will be kept in a circle.
Cute as buttons!
Always liked “Lassie” dogs.
Shelties, not rough collies. But, yes, the same color scheme.
I’m not a connoisseur of dog breeds, but they’re still cuties.
Thanks.
They are nearly full grown. Collies are twice as big.
Rough collies and shelties were basically bred in parallel with some cross breeding early.

Mrs. T reluctantly picked up some shrimp for me to char-grill. She did not eat any. She is boycotting seafood now because of this documentary.
Anybody watch this? I figure there is plenty of truth along with a pile of whale shit.
Farmed shrimp are a nightmare. Just buy wild caught Gulf shrimp. Support Suthen’s neighbors
It was from Whole Foods… which probably means nothing.
Jeff Bezos is a known libertarian and supports everything freedom loving Americans support. Carry on
That “Documentary” is a whole lotta bullshit. Sadly, Al Gore’s legacy will be cursing pop culture with any convenient lie the left can throw together on film.
But it has the Guardian stamp of approval.
Well hopefully everyone at the Guardian has stopped eating seafood too.
Since we’re doing dog pics:

Pretty sure she’s trying to control my mind with her devil eyes.
Aw.
Are y’all trying to dissuade me from my bad mood with these dog pics or what?
Can’t hurt
Srlsy, I permanently hate everyone except you nice people.
Aww
What a sweet face.

Horse shit. I don’t do that anymore.
Y’all are killing me with the puppy pics. Especially the impeccably dressed rat. Damn, I should have got one of those from your bro. She is adorable and I bet a terror to the house.
