9/25/26 GN4L Pangram 30th word, but once I found it I wondered why it took so long. Longish puzzle. May or may not continue. Heading to Wisconsin from Minnesota for the day. #nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb www.nytimes.com/badges/games...

Life sucks. Rain all week. Today's forcast clouds with ZERO chance of rain until 8 pm, then a 5% chance of rain. I fired up the smoker for baby back ribs. I head out to put the ribs on and the deck is wet! It's misting! So I guess mist is not rain, eh? My life sucks, but the ribs are on.
