Nothing real here, of course, on a test site. Just playing around. Times are Eastern Time Zone.

3:13 p.m.

2:02 p.m.

DD's parents stopped by for lunch. Now, I'll feed my sourdough bread starter. Then I'll do some more yard work, since today's weather is dry with only a light wind.

12:27 p.m.

We plan to brew a two-gallon batch of beer this afternoon. This will be our first brew day in two months. Too long between batches.

Today, we'll brew a maple porter. On Friday, we might brew a two-gallon batch of an apple ale beer.

The following weekend, we plan to attend a group brew day. We'll brew a five-gallon batch, but at this point, we have not decided on a beer.

Excerpts from the 9:12 a.m. Cleveland National Weather Service's Area Forecast Discussion :

one concern is the potential for a little reverse lake effect to develop off of the lake this afternoon. low level flow is expected to become more aligned during the afternoon out of the northeast and this could send a few light lake effect shsn or sprinkles into the central and western lakeshore counties. accumulation from this is not expected due to little or no measurable precip and temps a little above freezing.

I'll have to check to the Hi-Def radar this afternoon to see if anything materializes.

10:51 a.m.

A person came out this morning to measure our kitchen and our steps to the basement. We plan to have new flooring installed.

Nov 26, 2014 Profootballtalk.com story about last Sunday's thuggery by a Lions offensive lineman:

Sunday’s game against the Patriots included a pair of incidents involving Lions center Dominic Raiola. He leveled Patriots defensive tackle Zach Moore with a blow to the head during a play, and then Raiola took out Moore’s knees on the final snap of the game, because Raiola was unhappy about New England’s decision to score a garbage-time touchdown.

Raiola said on Tuesday that he wasn’t fined. Per a league source, he won’t be.

I highlighted the word "incidents" because they were goon, cheap shots.

The NFL will fine a player for throwing a football into the crowd, but when a player intentionally tries to hurt another player, that gets ignored. No fine. No suspension.

I thought that the NFL cared about player safety. Oh wait, that's a joke. More Thursday night games please on three days rest.

More from the PFT story:

It’s unclear why the league has opted to look the other way in both instances, especially in light of the safety-conscious nature of today’s NFL. And in light of the league’s fine-happy nature on issues that have little to do with safety. Or, as some would argue, common sense.

Raiola punched Moore in the head and then dove at Moore’s knees on a play when the Lions were taking a knee. If failing to talk to the media or wearing the wrong kind of headphones or selecting shoes that don’t reflect the proper color scheme justify the withholding of a portion of a player’s paycheck, how do neither of Raiola’s infractions trigger punishment?
