So, what all have you got planned for the weekend ... besides watching baseball 

Working all day at our church food festival -- among others, we'll be serving up Greek, Ukrainian, and Ethiopian dishes.

About to head up to U of Portland to watch men's football (soccer to provincials). Chilly, but perhaps not rainy. 

 

I'll trust you all to bring home the Twins' win; I'll check in after the match.

I like that Dobnak doesn't seem phased at all by the big stage. He just goes about his business, works fast, throws stuff that looks good, but not great...every now and then hit a guy...

Nice! What type of wood and smoker do you use?

Mesquite.

 

I also look for every opportunity to brag up my son. He actually made the smoker by taking a kettle grill and extending it with a tamale steamer. Drilled the bottom of the steamer full of holes to let the smoke up, a few bolts in the side to hold the racks in place, and he had my Christmas present for something like $25.

 

At some point, I might want to upgrade to a pellet or other smoker, but I can’t bring myself to dis him by doing that.

NICE! I personally use a propane smoker. Made a brisket a couple weeks ago. Those things can sure be tough. Do you do the tinfoil wrap when you get to the stall? Personally, I don't, but have heard about people doing so.

Cron with some nice "D" today, like seeing him back there fielding his position well. Been a nice defensive player all year, really.

Is having a back pocket out some kind of status symbol or message?

 

Showing that they don't chew tobacco. At least that why Tony Batista did it.

Hey ... how many Amish donuts have you brought to work this season?

I didn’t do it this year. But they will be there following a combination of six Twins wins or Cleveland losses. And perhaps after every postseason win.

 

So when I downloaded some photos of them to share on TD, I saved the images in My Photos. When my computer goes to sleep, it cycles through all the photos in that folder. Work colleagues keep asking, “What’s with all the pictures of donuts?”

Last weekend in Guatemala for a while. Next weekend I'm heading back to the USA for a month. Caught some nasty virus down here a couple weeks ago and I must admit I haven't quite bounced back. Had planned to come back to the USA anyway but now I've got to go see a doc upon arrival. Sucks but thanks to Twins baseball and this board, I have something to distract me while I deal with these lingering symptoms.

 

Should find myself in Minnesota by October 6th, with any luck I'll be watching October Twins baseball while in the great state of MN!

One time at spring training, I was standing there minding my own business watching batting practice, when Tony O comes along and starts chatting with me. Then he asked how were my hands. When I said ‘good’ he tossed me a ball over the fence. It was autographed.

Way cool!

I haven’t yet, but I’d like to try it that way. Probably not tomorrow, however, since I cut them thing down to a couple smaller pieces in the interest of getting done a little quicker.

 

I’ve only done a half dozen or so, so I feel like I’m still experimenting. So far the experiments have all been reasonably successful. Here’s hoping for tomorrow. I’ll post a picture.

I tell ya, Dobnak is destined to be a workhorse starter for the next decade. Good foundation, surprising locations, no fear. He could be a #3 starter for a long time. He does need to work on holding runners, tho.

I have several pairs of Fluevogs ... I paid full price for some, but got several of them on sale ... they have really good sales.

 

But now I have a foot condition called hallux rigidus ... the only shoe my feet feel comfortable in are running shoes. High end running shoes. :/

Maybe you'll have to give all your other shoes away to a relative or someone.
