WHYB: 2,500 and Counting

weezel32

I recently hit a milestone of sorts. That is not 2,500 total beers, but 2,500 different beers since joining Untappd (a beer tracking social app) in 2012. Yes, my mother is so proud. Presumably. I remember years ago watching an English documentary about beer tickers. One dude was going for I believe his 10,000th lifetime beer, while another was chasing 1,000. I remember at the time thinking there would be no way I could ever get to a 1,000 while living in Fairfield, the land of two hours from anything. Well, that was in the early days of the craft … Continue reading WHYB: 2,500 and Counting

NFL Draftkings Week 16

weezel32

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Here is what I’m rolling with this week. There is enough value out there you can pay up to Mahomes at QB this week, but I’m going with Hurts and that rushing upside against the Dallas D. And then we have a bunch of guys I keep playing in the wrong weeks–David Johnson, Tim Patrick, DJ Moore. They have all had good weeks, seemingly anytime I don’t play them. So my solution apparently is just to always play. Godert is my hurts stack as that salary has come down on him. And … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 16

Branch On Fire: Buchanan’s Deluxe 12

weezel32

It’s time I start writing up some of the swill I’m pouring into my body, so consider this the first in a new series here at IAW. I have a shelf full of whiskey, about half scotch and half bourbon. This blended scotch was the newest addition to the shelf, a Christmas present this year. Most of my scotch is single malt, but I do drink blended on occasion, including one of the price point competitors for this one, Monkey Shoulder. Buchanan’s is an 80-proof blend that has been around for several years now. For bourbon drinkers who think scotch … Continue reading Branch On Fire: Buchanan’s Deluxe 12

So, I Finally Returned To Powerlifting…It Went Well

weezel32

I have not done a competitive powerlift competition since the summer of 2016. In between then and now, I got in the worst shape of my life. So, I went into 2020 with the intention of getting back into lifting heavy, while also taking some weight off. It is hard to serve those two masters at the same time, unless you were as detrained as I was. 13 months ago, I tested my maxes. While weighing 267 pounds, I squatted 320, benched 215 and deadlifted 320 pounds. So, a total of 855. I’ve had meets in the past where that … Continue reading So, I Finally Returned To Powerlifting…It Went Well

NFL Draftkings Week 15

weezel32

Here is what I’m looking at this week. Single lineup this week as I plow through my to-do list and play catch up on some house/personal stuff this morning. Doing something this week you absolutely should not do: playing a bunch of high ownership guys in smaller GPP tournaments. Hilton, Mahomes, Kamara, Hockenson and Aiyuk all project to be 10-20 percent owned this week. In fact, the only low-owned guy in this lineup is probably Gallup. And yes, I paid up for the Rams, who should be the most popular defense to own as they face the Jets. Make no … Continue reading NFL Draftkings Week 15
