He had never been to Max&#8217;s Sports Bar, so about 3 we departed from D-RANKS with B-RAD and made the trip south. All the games were on and Tripp quickly understood why Max&#8217;s is my home away from home on the south side. About 4:30 we decided to make the trek back to the Downtown core. &#8220;Want to stop at the fire station?&#8221; I asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fire station?&#8221; Tripp replied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The old fire station at Third (actually B.B. King Blvd. now) and MLK. It&#8217;s being converted into a beer garden and sports bar for the months of October and November. There&#8217;s craft beer and food trucks and live music.&#8221; Tripp said that sounded good, and we walked over there.<\/p>\n<p>The Sushi Jimmi food truck was in the parking lot. I have been wanted to try that truck for a while. Jimmi posed for a photo with Tripp and me:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.43.38.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17286\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.43.38.jpg?resize=375%2C500\" alt=\"2015-11-22 16.43.38\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.43.38.jpg?resize=375%2C500 375w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.43.38.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.43.38.jpg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 85vw, 375px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I got the crawfish nachos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.47.24.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17287\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.47.24.jpg?resize=375%2C500\" alt=\"2015-11-22 16.47.24\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.47.24.jpg?resize=375%2C500 375w, http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.47.24.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.47.24.jpg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 85vw, 375px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More of a traditionalist, Tripp got sushi rolls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.36.33.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17288\" src=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.36.33.jpg?resize=375%2C500\" alt=\"2015-11-22 16.36.33\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.36.33.jpg?resize=375%2C500 375w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.36.33.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, http:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.36.33.jpg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 85vw, 375px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.35.14.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17289\" src=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.35.14.jpg?resize=375%2C500\" alt=\"2015-11-22 16.35.14\" srcset=\"http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.35.14.jpg?resize=375%2C500 375w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.35.14.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, http:\/\/i1.wp.com\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/2015-11-22-16.35.14.jpg?w=1680 1680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 85vw, 375px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We took our food inside and ordered beers at the bar. There wasn&#8217;t live music when we were there, but something different: YOGA! Luluemon conducted a free yoga class at 5. Okay, how the hell did this fly under my radar? I mean, there&#8217;s absolutely zero chance that I would participate, but it should have been on my blog for my readers to know about. Tripp and I stood at the bar and I ate my crawfish nachos and we watched the class do the downward-facing dog, the side plank and various other asanas whose names I do not know. &#8220;Hot women in yoga pants doing yoga,&#8221; Tripp said. &#8220;This is awesome. You should get some photos for your blog.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nah, taking pictures of women doing yoga is a bit creepy,&#8221; I said as I thought to myself that Tube Top Month was a thing in this blog for 10 years.

One of them is Ignite Memphis, happening at 7 at the Halloran Center for the Performing Arts. Come get enlightened about a variety of topics via 5-minute presentations.<\/p>\n<p>The other big event Downtown tonight is Memphis Tigers basketball. The team takes on UT Arlington at FedExForum at 7:30.<\/p>\n<p>Apologies to those around me yesterday evening for having my headphones on while out at the bars. I wasn&#8217;t trying to be antisocial or avoid human contact; I was watching the WWE Network. It was Survivor Series with the WWE title up for grabs in a tournament and The Undertaker and Kane vs. The Wyatt Family.<\/p>\n<p>All right, time to get the day started. I&#8217;m working the branch offices hard this short Thanksgiving week. I have an appointment with Teryn at the Monroe Avenue Branch Office here shortly. Then I have to go over to the Main Street Branch Office at 3 for an appointment with Feeny. Back to the Monroe office at 5 for an appointment with Melissa, then back again to the Main Street Office for an appointment with Jeannette at 7. Finally my long day wraps up with a visit to the Peabody Place Branch Office for an appointment with Jim at 9:30. This schedule is killing me but I will make it the best I can. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My BBQ teammate Tripp and I took a little field trip yesterday.
