What are you doing today?

Safe driving.

What is the car?

No storm damage here, either, though yesterday (and the previous night) were both profoundly unpleasant.

Glad your all okay down South as well. It’s a BMW i3.

Working on a Joe Satriani song in between meetings as I get time, it's always a challenge to play his stuff at speed.

Maybe one day you’d like to share your cover with us here? I’d be interested, love Satriani. I’ll put on Surfing withe Alien for the kids later [emoji41][emoji869]

Perfect headline man lol. Dude is a gifted player but arrogant to the point of being laughable. A drummer I used to be in a band with toured with him a few years back and said he's actually a pretty cool guy behind the scenes though.

Yngwie is certainly arrogant as hell but at the end of the day, why not. It’s solely his vision and his business. As a fan, I’d wish he’d pass the microphone back to those singers he had in the past cause I can’t stand his singing, and in addition I’d recommend him to produce his music to a more modern standard rather than still sounding like a home made 80s demo tape at times.
 
My "doing today ..." posts are usually delayed by a day, so this was yesterday :D

Hit up the Town Center, we're not really "mall people", but it's outside and the weather was super nice, I hit up Total Wine while the ladies hit a couple of stores. TW was a mess, even on a Friday, I opted for the way out parking which was apparently also Tesla parking :D As I was walking back a black TMY was leaving (I wait to take a pic ...), and another TM3 was already parked :D It was technically marked as "compact", but the spaces were plenty big, a little bit of a walk but extremely car safe.

Ate at Ida Claire again, wow, so good, we have plenty to take home but ordered even more to go :D I haven't had fried okra in years and this was stellar, they sliced it long way, perfect beading, served with a gremolata aioli, their amazing biscuits and house made jam, sausage gravy, other assorted yum :) Ate outside on the front patio, very nice.


The little G hit up the Vans store, which gave me a huge smile (I'm an ol' school skater/BMX-er, I still mostly wear DC sneakers), and picked these up, holy hell, this is the most amazing sneaker I've ever seen :love:

Oh yeah, my beer scores (all 90+ BA):

Bell's Hopslam (98% on BA, holy smokes)
Stone IPA selection (12-pack) with Hazy, Tangerine, Ruination and a limited to the box Sublimely Self-Righteous Black IPA !)
Southern Tier Cocoa Nitro
Oskar Blues Old Chub Scotts Ale

!__woot__!

I'll do a dedicated beer post in the beer thread later :)

Lol. Always pick a spot out of the way where only one other person can park next to you!

That's what we've been enjoying this week too. Some a little too bitter, but generally way above average. Fear Movie Lions is pretty good.

did you end up getting it? Despite my grievances, it's a really fun car to drive around in the city. Driving experience wise, it's the most unique I've ever driven. One-pedal driving with instant torque makes you feel like the car is the extension of your mind. I just wish it had a 200-250 mi range

I’ve never bought Mrs AFB flowers. She doesn’t like them. Only ones growing in the garden. She thinks cut flowers are a waste.
I’ve had toffee crisp bars, but not coffee crisp bars.

Mother - who adored her garden, and was a gifted gardener, with the proverbial "green fingers" - held similar views about cut flowers, although she graciously accepted them as gifts if they made an appearance (which never happened from someone who knew her well), and tended them carefully.

So I’m crushing the Peloton just now and I learned the song is called Ballroom Blitz, I’ve always called it Bar Room Blitz and now my whole day is fucked.

I first heard that song when I saw the movie Wayne’s World…

Not buying today. Just investigating.

Stone can mostly do no wrong - there's a few others, Founders, Southern Tier, Dogfish Head come to mind - their not as good is generally better than most :D Stone's "regular" IPA, that's the green container, West Coast style IPA is world class, and easy to find, the "west coast" IPAs are big up front with a more citrus/fruit type hop, and a little subdued on the malt side. FML is pretty terrific.

Started with a Tangerine Express with lunch, just now :D

At least far parkers, even if they park near you, are usually also the type of people who take a little care with their car (and yours). :)

Absolutely. Plus as a bonus you get a few extra steps in for your AW. On the rare times I do go to the shops we are usually there as they open, and gone within an hour.
 
Nothing special today. Rest. Reading, watching movies, eating, having a nap like a classical old fart.

Oh, yes, checking MR and as usual giving "like"-s to ericwn's posts in my favorite iPAD thread.
(I don't feel like posting there anymore, though did it yesterday nonetheless).
