So JP Crawford was officially put on the IL today and apparently Colt Emerson woke up with back stiffness and is not in the Mariners lineup today. They recalled Ryan Bliss from the Tacoma Raniers who are playing Albuquerque in Tacoma. so how did Bliss get from Tacoma to Baltimore today in time for the game? Does the team travel with contingency players just in case they need to recall them from Triple A?

I've never followed baseball real closely. Have attended maybe 15-20 Mariners games in my life and watched very inconsistently. But this year my 13-year-old son has become a fanatic, so we've been watching every game. It finally occurred to me that taking a pitcher out is always such a dramatic display. The manager slowly walks out to the mound, the infielders circle up, and then the pitcher is forced to do a walk of shame. In every other sport they just call you out from the sidelines and nobody blinks twice. Why do they do it like this in baseball? No criticism, just curious.

It might be time for a new nozzle. The printer comes with a stainless nozzle but you can buy a better hardened steel replacement for $12.99. I was at my wit’s end trying to figure out why filament kept breaking, prints were failing due to “couldn’t extrude” properly messages, messes were being made. Finally just bought a new nozzle and my printer is back to normal. Worth a shot before resorting to more time consuming tactics.

A year ago I was 308 lbs when I started cycling. This morning I was 249. I’m 6’2” so I’m getting closer to where I want to be weight-wise. Goal is 220 by year end.

Anyway, here are my numbers from today.

Distance

This was all on the Tucson Loop and the branch up to Oro Valley. My goal this morning was to do the whole 50 miles without getting passed. Which I did! I know it’s not a very objective measure of performance, because who knows who’s out riding on any given day, but it felt great. I’m riding El Tour de Tucson in November and have a rough goal of 6:30. I’ve only done 50 miles a few times and never much more. Does this seem like decent pace to hit my goal of 102 miles in under six and a half hours in November?

Aside from the fact that in 2005 the MFMC lost their effort to fully trademark the term, limiting their ownership to certain commercial categories, the MFMC has not attempted for 21 years to enforce any trademark ownership against Mormon Stories.

It seems to me there is both an unreasonable delay and prejudice. In Utah, a laches defense is typically valid after 3-4 years without the owner enforcing the trademark, which again, likely doesn't cover Mormon Stories' use case to begin with.
