I turn 40 next month and if you're +/- 10 years of me flossing Chucks, that's all I need to know about you. They've never been cool. Boomers wore them because they had to. You idiots have a choice.

#HoodOfJudgement

- Speaking of my 40th and my hypocrisy with Boomers, LSAT booked several tables for the Picnic with the Pops next month at Keeneland. Got a huge crew going. BYOB, disco theme, food trucks, over-the-top decorated tables (the Boomers go ALL OUT with the table decor). 28 YO me would have LOL'd at this. But whatever. Had a blast last year. Should be even bigger and better this year.

-Need a good cooler with wheels and don't really want to spend a mortgage payment on a Yeti. Any recs?

- Summer swim team meets are exhausting. Then the team strongarms (some clubs require it) you into volunteer timers, ribbon awardees, herding cats into their correct heats, etc.. Man. 83 different events littered with multiple heats. It's definitely not time effective or efficient just to see your kid swim in 4-5 races. Experiencing it on the parent side of it now makes me sooo appreciative of my folks doing the same for me when I swam. They were a different breed back then.

- I have a MP5 button on one of my crocs and R2D2 on the other. Crocs are fine. I too was once too good for crocs now I’m throwing heaters at our girls all tournament long wearing crocs.

- Fourth of July is the superior holiday. Beers and booms with some Nathan’s dogs. Hard to beat.

I will be hitting the firework stand up and get several packs of black cats for next week on my way to work. I hope my neighborhood enjoys them at 530a as much as I enjoyed them at 1a all week.

- Cals press conference was cringe. Until I see another banner hanging I don’t know that he could do anything that wouldn’t make me cringe.

- vottos character arc from a shy, weird, more than likely homo, to a guy who almost seeks the camera has been interesting to watch. If he wasn’t being paid so much I would be able to enjoy it a lot more.

Not a cooler on wheels, but was recently looking for a backpack cooler, and with Yeti's being recalled for some issue, after shopping around on everything out there bought this cheap one from Academy Sports. After using it for a week in the Florida heat, I can easy say its the best $80 cooler on the market. A 24 pack size that has plenty of room for all the booze you'd need in a day, super thick insulation in the walls and the top keeping everything cold for days, very comfortable, and even has a waterproof pouch to put keys, wallet, wine opener, etc. Huber stamp of approval.

- Crocs make Hey Dude (or whatever they’re called) look like Ferragamos.

- Top Holidays:

1. Christmas
2. Thanksgiving
3. Labor Day
4. Halloween
5. Memorial Day

- Smoke Justis is the best sports bar in the region.

My son is playing kid pitch fall ball this year and I’ve already expressed to him how much I’m looking forward to calling balks and emphatically pointing to imaginary bases as I practice with him at home.

-Was going to say the same thing anth did. Most Cappies will tell you if we go back in to drop him off your day is done OR he just goes in the cabin and is miserable for the next few hours, mostly they end up in the cabin.

That’s why he refused to go back out, you’d already spent the gas you paid for, he’s not taking a loss in profits because someone can’t handle a little boat ride.

-I wouldn’t mind going to KK for a day and hitting that lazy River for a few hours. Problem is getting anyone to do anything.

-Returned $189 of tools to Home Depot thinking sweet, money back I wasn’t expecting, only to spend $100 of it on my friend’s sponsor brand Salty Savage gym clothes. A weakness for sure.

I swear my daughter snuck in a crawl stroke during the butterfly she won in her latest swim meet. Nobody said anything, but I had they DQ'd her for that I would not have had an issue. We Dougans compete fairly.

I think I actually only saw one kid get DQ’d and it was like in a 4th heat and the parents working the lanes on each side were stunned. Like what are we doing?

I know why he didn't take us back out, Mr. Obvious.

I thought it was pretty cool of him to go back out at all and I tipped him well, despite us not getting the trip we expected because my neighbor is a puss.

Dude is diabetic and told the captain his blood sugar was getting really low and he couldn't keep anything down. I'm sure that had something to do with the captain agreeing to take him back.

I'm sure you would've flexed on him.

I get sick in a lazy River (kind of an exaggeration but not really) so I have ruled out deep sea fishing in my life. Get asked to go out weekly with friends that work in the profession down here and I always have to say no. They get it once I tell them the story of the wind catching my vomit and throwing it all over the boat on an excursion while living in St John.

-No I was just explaining not flexing on anyone when you said he “refused” to take you back out. You made it sound like you all really wanted to, so just wanted you to know why. Many people get super upset not understanding the whole thing.
-Can’t find my Costas but they’ve gone down substantially in quality in the last few years under, I believe, new ownership.

Lost my Rayban Wayfarers to the 40 degree lake like a GD rookie getting all the fuel out of moms boat this winter. Was not happy with myself.

Ordered some Redfins my buddy recommended and excited to get them, plus he gave me his vendor discount of 40% off and if I like them will prob order a couple more pairs just to not worry about it for a couple few years.

-Never gotten seasick but people always say, “At first you think you’re going to die, then after a while you just wish you would.”

Hank - "Monkey" is the perfect name for her. LOL I'll try to grab some video, but in the early morning, when the grass is still wet, she walks around the backyard on her hind legs, with her tail, straight up behind her, like, you know, a monkey. She can't stand wet grass I guess, and efforts to minimize contact. Anyway, that is how she patrols around until she finds "the spot" to do her business.

-nice little 4th of July in...Loveland, Ohio.

^to satisfy my 83yo MIL. I'm fine with it, she's an OK gal.

-bike trail along the little Miami is really cool...we did a 10 mile out and back jaunt. Even my "non-outdoorsy" girls had a nice time. Need to break out the raleigh road bike at home more often...although what made this nice was that it was relatively flat and shaded. Not sure if that exists around here.

-my BIL put on a pretty good show on the 3rd...went to high school with a rozzi, so he gets the good stuff.

-small town parades are great.

^not my first choice for a long weekend, but made an old lady happy. No-bonz.

-if you like crocs/hey dudes...knock yourself out. I know I play a clothes snob on the internet (based somewhat on reality, for sure) but I really don't give a ****. Do what makes you happy.

^I do get a giggle seeing dudes with no style to speak of busting other folks chops re: style...all in good fun, I reckon.

-my little 2 court tennis club/pool got *hammered* in the storm...pictures are bad, gonna venture out tonight to see for myself. May be playing indoors for a bit.

-go reds.

-edit: plaid room records in Loveland is a *great* store...used section is ridiculous. Everything you can imagine in really good condition. Easily could've dropped hundreds...stayed disciplined and bought 3 records that have been on my discogs wish list for a year plus.

Nothing makes me feel more helpless and pathetic than motion sickness. I take dramamine every flight and every long drive where I'm not driving, sip cold drinks, do all the tips/tricks... and I still end up feeling like I'm going to hurl and praying I die instead. Miserable. Deep sea anything sounds like a great way to end up like Natalie Wood, except instead of Christopher Walken and Robert Wagner (allegedly) (likely) murdering me, I'd just hurl myself into the sea and drown rather than feel sick like that any longer.

Getting allergy testing done and discovering I'm allergic to basically all organic matter got pretty close, though. I can deadlift a house but dust mites and trees cripple me. Woof. Humbling.

I got sick on Lake Erie of all places, one time. It was during a big storm, but it wasn't like Deadliest Catch or anything. Never had a problem before or since.

It definitely does suck, but I stayed out there. In fact, the weather cleared and I fought it off and ended up catching a bunch of walleye.

Would not want to feel that sick again. I feel for you, pretzel.

-dammit. 2 times I said "I'm pretty sure my internet friend WW lives around here" aloud to my wife/kids...and didn't do **** about it.

^my wife loves that place*...so there *will* be a next time.

*she floated buying a little spot on/near the river to spend a few weeks a year up near her family...air bnb the rest of the time. I, on the other hand would like to retire at some point.

Don’t understand spending bucks on gym clothes… (single ladies doing so being the exception). Good shoes, shorts with a phone-holding pocket… TShirt. Nothing primo needed for sweating my balls off in at 4:45 am. Who gives a ****? Bring fresh extra shirt to drive off in. However, still diggin my Diadora running shoes. Stockpiled these bastards via eBay.



101° in NYC today. The piss stench was thick.

Found my eldest kid passed out in a puddle of puke in the bathroom this morning. Apparently he took a bong rip last night (Headband) that made him spin like a Dervish. I couldn’t get too upset knowing my own transgressions.

4 racks of ribs, pork belly (burnt ends) procured. 14# Brisket. Cookin for both boys birthday fiestas.

Judge out for year? Super.

-I'm particular about shoes (everybody should be)...but whatever is on sale at one of 3 online tennis shops in blue/white is what I buy.

^had great luck with Mizuno of late. Out of the box straight to the court...no foot pain at all. That's a big deal for old dad.

I look like I’m about to go mow the lawn at the gym. Just absolutely terrible and embarrassing. Messy hair, dirty shoes, 15 year old Hanes shirts, non color matching shorts of various lengths. The other day I went in crocs, a urine soaked depends diaper, and no shirt, the works.

With the exception of rich Anth, metrosexual Rogue, and BRax’s boys, I do love how men’s athletic gear has gone roughly unchanged in the last 30 years (athletic shorts, printed t-shirt) whereas women appear on their way to working out in the nude by the end of the decade. Feminism rules!

Ummmm, a single dude that likes hot chicks that enjoy working out? I think most of that group likes to look good at the gym and not like a pile of ****, seems self-explanatory.

And I don’t wear Lulu or all that. I have 2 for $24 Fabletics shorts/leggings, 4 salty savage shirts I bought with my sponsored friends discount code and UA or whatever tanks/cutoffs, 3 hoodies and 3 pairs of Chinese shoes from Amazon that are $45 each.

I’m def not rolling in with dirty shoes, a baggy XL t-shirt and basketball shorts from 2004.

But I do like how everyone was applauding the moms for wearing skirts and keeping it together while you’re like yeah I look like a tub of **** lol.

-High-waisted anything looks terrible on females. I get it, they get to cover the little belly flab they may have but you ladies are already padding your tits, lengthening your eyelashes, hair extensions etc.

- @WayneDougan it’s not that men’s gym attire hasn’t changed it’s that most dudes still just wear the same crap they wore to the gym in high school and it shows. Basketball shorts and a t-shirt…cool…you look like you’re a high schooler, throw your crocs on and the ensemble is complete.

-I may be metro in some aspects, but cotdamnit you’ll know when I arrive.
