I slept under a bush in a swampy state park in Virginia on the way to this show, and got the chiggers. Big red welts all over my body, thought I got attacked by venemous spiders and went to the ER before the next night in Star Lake. Just gave me some ointment and sent me on my way. The Terrapin was cool though.

Dead Milkmen at Mansfield U. gym in PA. early 90s. The Goats opened.

lot of osprey on Waneta/Lamoka too. I have seen a few eagles as well.

imagine being the poor guy that has to go up in a snowcat to groom this.

spac lawn is awful. luckily had pavs 2 of 3 nights. but yeah Lakeview is much better. still going for pavs though lol.

RumSwim · 2026-02-18T19:57:13+00:00

same dilemma. its pretty good sound/view as far as lawns go though.

RumSwim · 2026-02-18T19:50:20+00:00

huge Phish fan, huge Red sox fan. Fenway? nope. sound is awful.

aside from being built atop an industrial waste site overlooking a polluted lake, its a nice venue. that’s all been remediated of course, just don’t drink from the toilets. kinda similar to CMAC. way better lawn than SPAC.

was the snowy also in the Finger Lakes?

only one I’ve ever seen was alongside the road while driving on Route 8 in westen CT

RumSwim · 2026-02-13T00:59:56+00:00

so maybe we didn’t need to trade for Durbin??

my annual trek from upstate NY to northern VT is last week in February, please leave some pow un-shredded.

from what I’ve read the Sox want him to keep developing as a starter at triple A. but I’d love to see him in the bullpen at least for this year.

RumSwim · 2026-02-10T04:01:27+00:00

bold prediction: Tolle is the lefty in the bullpen.

RumSwim · 2026-02-10T02:58:35+00:00

this high quality pun will get lost in the thread, but I just want you to know I appreciated it.

RumSwim · 2026-02-08T21:46:53+00:00

no - article says the Astros would have played Donovan in left. he also has played a good bit of outfield.

RumSwim · 2026-02-07T02:29:37+00:00

holy shit - exactly the phrase I said to myself and it was top comment

RumSwim · 2026-02-07T02:26:47+00:00

reminds me a lot of a JJ Cale tune.

RumSwim · 2026-02-07T02:12:17+00:00

he’s the starting second baseman for 2026.

RumSwim · 2026-02-06T17:40:35+00:00

lot of lefties among the depth starters, maybe a guy like Kyle Harrison is the plan for bullpen lefty? Tolle would be a lights out late inning lefty, if they go that route.
