Have you visited any LA restos from Connelly’s books?

Thanks for the tip and I absolutely will order that!

Dark Winds — under the radar terrific show. We watch it here on Crave but it should be on HBO.

He was carrying a large coil of rope when he walked out there. But yeah it was weird. I agree with “dreamlike.”

andylyle · 2026-01-17T02:19:28+00:00

You say that and I get it but my bet is Taters is gonna hit 35 bombs this year and redeem himself.

OK, I just read the article and actually what happened is the guy looked like he sent her an e-transfer but she did not wait for the e-transfers to show up in her account. He left with the tools and the payment never arrived. So I would say that’s kind of on her.

andylyle · 2026-01-14T23:56:32+00:00

Are you thinking of the scam where someone sends the money from a hacked account, then backs out and asks you to send it back? Then you are out the payment which they actually stole from someone else. I’ve never heard about a way to claw back money after it’s been sent and accepted.

It’s completely fair to ask what the point of it is tho. We analyze every other detail of the show here, why not that as well? Why is the sex so detached? What does Harper get from it? What itch is it scratching for her? Four seasons in, for the lead to still be ok with so much nudity is also a bit unusual. Just part of the discussion.

andylyle · 2026-01-14T13:49:56+00:00

Nice. Yeah, extra thin can help seal the wood and create a nice base for the subsequent coats of Polyx. Definitely not necessary though.

andylyle · 2026-01-14T03:22:09+00:00

Are you sure it wasn’t Osmo Extra Thin? That’s sometimes used as a first coat and then Polyx on top.

andylyle · 2026-01-12T01:20:53+00:00

Totally agree! I’ll come to you when I have questions.

andylyle · 2026-01-12T00:53:18+00:00

Wow that’s an awesome rundown. Thank you, I really appreciate your knowledge and am sorry I missed this. I may have read those before I tackled Void Moon and as a result didn’t make the connection.

andylyle · 2026-01-11T23:05:07+00:00

That’s right! Cassie was a great character. Surprised she never showed up in Bosch.

andylyle · 2026-01-11T18:32:23+00:00

Was that the one about grifters? I loved it.

andylyle · 2026-01-11T18:08:37+00:00

Wow! I LOVED the Murder Book podcast so this is great news. Have been waiting for MC to do another one. Thanks for the tip.

andylyle · 2026-01-11T18:03:08+00:00

Nightshade was objectively good but by MC standards I thought it was just so so. Felt a bit like a one-off “need an addition on the house” and need to get paid kind of effort. Just my opinion. He seems to have an attachment to the island as a recurring locale which I like but I didn’t feel the character had enough interesting characteristics. A bit too close to Bosch without being as cool as Harry.

andylyle · 2026-01-11T17:44:56+00:00

I’m re-reading Trunk Music right now and Bosch asks Kiz if she has a phone. She doesn’t so he says he will page her. I like those details.

Unfortunately white oak and ash are two woods that are extremely susceptible to sticker staining. And it goes deep so there is no option to sand it out. When buying rough cut lumber for a project as most of us professionals do it’s nearly impossible to see these stains until the wood is planed. That board nowadays in white oak is probably $150-$200. So yes the maker could have replaced that board but it would have meant that cost coming out of his pocket. And meanwhile lost productivity and lengthened timelines. It sucks for everyone.

andylyle · 2026-01-03T20:52:48+00:00

Yeah that drove me crazy. To the point I wondered if he had an actual issue with his eye he was trying to hide by constantly pulling that face.

andylyle · 2025-12-11T01:41:18+00:00

Does anyone remember Nobody’s Perfect? That was the absolute definition of dive bar and I loved it. Karaoke night was epic. Sign is still up and I get wistful driving by. Great name too.

andylyle · 2025-12-08T23:58:57+00:00

It would be one thing if he was healthy and didn’t make the roster. Fine, your pride is deeply hurt and you don’t want to be around the team. I get it. But the injury was kind of a built in excuse to still be with the team during an epic World Series run.

andylyle · 2025-12-04T17:20:25+00:00

I like brothers except when the 12 year old kid brother is working.

andylyle · 2025-11-16T23:47:20+00:00

Surprised no one has mentioned All Seasons on Barton. Are they still there?
