Weird day so far weather-wise. Cooler than forecasted and hazy/cloudy. Air quality is a lot better up north at our house than here in Spokane. Glad I got a short run in first thing this morning.
A bit of a later summer lull among my usual podcasts this week (or perhaps I've just been listening more?) so I've had to pull a few episodes from my backup catalog today. Going to need even more for all the deck and porch painting I'll be doing over the next four days too!
Doesn't look like there's much hope of our now annual wildfire smoke-stravaganza letting up in the next couple days based on the 24 hour simulation I saw this morning. Thanks global warming!
⚽ Just saw the crazy game saving/winning sequence that Wayne Rooney pulled off for D.C. United recently. Wow! Such a literally heads up play to make that goal saving tackle and then immediately survey the field and take advantage of the chaos of the moment for an epic assist.
⚽ I feel like the kit designs for the Premier League clubs I've seen so far this season are pretty good. Even West Ham's white alternate jerseys have a cool subtle reference to their distinctive light blue and burgundy.
⚽ Spurs hold onto their first half lead to defeat Newcastle 2-1. Wasn't happy to see Yedlin hurt his knee chasing down a ball at the end. Hopefully it's not a MCL or ACL tear.
My Pebble 2 HR conked out and started displaying an error code during some weird dry lightning just after midnight, but I was able to get it into recovery mode and do a restore. Hopefully just a fluke.
Seriously looking forward to the weekend. It's been a bit frustrating at work this week because of some logistical bottlenecks.
⚽ Spurs first game of the season will be on NBCSN tomorrow morning… at 3:30am. Watching Match of the Day for the summary and catching the Liverpool game at 5:30am on Sunday might be more realistic.
🎮 Played a bunch of Ultima IV today. Impressed with how minimal yet effective the DOS version graphics are.
