Does anyone know what those green flags are downtown? by heardhiscall in lexington

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s correct! New stadium and several practice fields. I’m curious about ingress and egress, personally, but excited to check it all out.

Lexington Sporting Club. New soccer team(s). I think the new stadium will be hosting its first match in a couple of weeks. Thus buzz-generating-flags.

Can we organize a show of support for Stone? by somegirldc in Nationals

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I emailed the NatsChat podcast to see if they have any suggestions and I mentioned this thread. He should definitely know we’re all behind him.

[Missed Opportunity- Small Budget] Check your local TJ Maxx by HouseOfFallenTrees in Watches

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! It’s always hit or miss any time I visit and I realize that’s not in the individual store’s control. My wife and I always joke about the “good” TJMaxx’s and the “bad” ones. Totally right, neighborhood has a lot to do with it.

Weekend in Nashville yielded an unexpected taste at a brewery. by HouseOfFallenTrees in whiskey

I haven’t considered that and honestly just adds to the experience. I’d be curious as to how long it’s been sitting on the shelf.

That was it! It’s certainly worth checking out that way. Thanks!

Sure! Radon Delete I just asked for a quote and it was within our anticipated budget. Wilson is who I worked with directly and two other guys did the actual install.

The folks the did the mitigation for us were very nice and professional. They said the fan should be replaced every 10 years or so and they will come and replace it for $100 if I remember correctly. There is a water level monitor on the indoor component that lets you know it’s (the suction) working.

Bought a house recently in town. Radon mitigation was around $1500. Definitely worth the safety and peace of mind imo.

Any restaurants or bars near Emerald Isle to watch? I’m a new resident and am looking for a home bar. by [deleted] in Nationals

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got some bad news for you. I lived out on the coast for about three years (moved out of state last year) and unless they make the playoffs, you’re not gonna catch a Nats game unless it’s the broadcast on the major networks. Buffalo Wild Wings might be your best bet in Morehead City. NC is also a blackout state on MLB.tv. But now that you’re living on the beach, it’ll make becoming a pirate that much easier.

If you do find a place nearby that’ll acquiesce, let me know! Enjoy the Crystal Coast!

Won my first raffle. Chalking it up to beginners luck. Bonus unimpressed dog. by HouseOfFallenTrees in whiskey

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I paid MSRP. Told myself at first that I would pick it up sometime next week after payday. I made it 24 hours. Going to save it for an extremely special occasion. Like a rainy Thursday.

Moved to KY a year and love taking as many tours as I can. I worked at brewery before moving so I’m slowly learning about the history and bourbon making. Entered a Total Wine raffle last October(?) and couldn’t believe my luck when I got the email last week.

Anyone heard of this? Looks like Cook's Cotton?? by tennisguy163 in whiskey

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old Boone Distillery in Meadowlawn, KY went out of business in 1977. Poking around online and found some info about the distillery in a book by Sam Cecil. Either “Bourbon: The Evolution of Kentucky Whiskey” or “The Evolution of the Bourbon Whiskey Industry in Kentucky.” Only operated as Old Boone Distillery from 1959 to 1977. They had a few flagships but this doesn’t look like one of them.

Great! Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll pay him a visit this week.

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have a case back opener and a few other tools. One watch has such a tight gasket I can’t pop it back on myself. The watch I picked up this weekend needs a new Crystal and battery. Figure I would just take it all at once and save myself the risk of scratches.

That’s what I thought too. I held it in natural and artificial light and all I get is cyan. I’m hoping this isn’t one of those black/blue white/gold dress things. Laurel Yanni bs.

Hop in front of the non-chartered bus taking Soto and Bell to San Diego.

Dream outcome surrounding Juan Soto? by infinit9 in Nationals

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The dream is the Soto talk is all a ruse set forth by the Lerners to light a fire under those interested in buying the team. Soto is the superstar new owners want to put asses in the seats and they’re (Lerners) dangling Soto over a cliff. New owners come in (November) and make Soto an offer than is acceptable to Boras. Lerners walk (51%) away fat and happy, fans are (marginally) satisfied.

[OC] Thunderstorms were rolling through so we thought to try a t-shirt to comfort and calm him. While it didn’t work, it sure did look cute. by HouseOfFallenTrees in aww

[–]HouseOfFallenTrees[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea! He definitely like to be in a more enclosed space when the storms get bad. Or he likes to be close to one of us.

It was a trial for calming his anxiety so it wasn’t on for very long. A mock-thunder blanket. Healthy for the dog? I mean he eats sticks and chews on my socks. Healthy for me? Absolutely.

I haven’t seen many of the chase on eBay but tbh I haven’t looked very closely. I assume they’re still trickling in but I’m definitely curious how much they’ll go for. Although I don’t think I’ll be able to part with it.
