Raced out after work to cross another name off of my Live Music Bucket List.
He was great, but I want to see him in a theater, I think. Too many distractions in that open air environment.

Smashed burgers.
I’ve been grilling a long time and I think my burger game is pretty tight. I like them grilled because I can cook a half dozen at a time (if I need to) and the smokiness doesn’t jack up our small kitchen (when we cook bacon, the smell/smoke seems to linger forever). I’ve had diner-style (or smashed) burgers before and they’re definitely tasty. I’m not 100% into the greasiness, though, which is probably why I prefer the grilling.
This article at Serious Eats, however, has me straight-up inspired to get some burger smashing going on a cast iron skillet.
I mean, come on. Even I, a long-time grilling advocate, gets some saliva turning at this photo:

New Tame Impala video, “Elephant”
I was a huge fan of their last album, despite some of it getting into guitar-noodly free jams. There was enough of a foundation to the songs to keep them grounded and listenable. “Elephant” is definitely on the more psychedelic end of their spectrum but it gets me geeked all the same.

Ultralilght gear or a hearty #2?
I’m a hearty #2 man, myself. I’ve joked forever about “having a salad” when presented with an opportunity to upgrade to newer, lighter bike parts. Semi-rad uses some math to further the case for GI regularity.
If your full-time job is something other than “professional cyclist,” I think you should save the money you’d like to spend on the newest ultralight bike frame, get something cheaper, and just take a dump before you go on your ride.
