    I went keto and was cramping like a mofo. A teaspoon of lite salt (mag chloride) in a little water helped. Freaking disgusting but I powered through. Also, riding more helped. I drink about a gallon of water a day.

    I say goddamn, goddamn! I did ok this weekend with an 02 Quilceda Creek, 91 Jabolet Hermitage (not La Chapelle - fading but not past), 95 Insignia, a 12 CdP from somewhere (drunk by this time), a 2012 Home Ranch, and a 94 Smith Woodhouse Port. All served around a freaking awesome lamb curry and an Italian cream cake.

    Does it seem like Swam has come back as works, ema, or Turk?

    Big Mama Hognose [emoji22] The wife is a city slicker that wanted a horse and she cannot abide a snake. They killed a rat snake on their patio that was going for the egg-filled bird’s nest a few weeks ago. I told her to be ready for the toad and rat invasion that’s coming now that they’ve dispatched those two snakes.

    Can I get a judge’s ruling on this one? Found on a friend’s property near Dripping.

    That’s cool, Ray. You are obviously quite the theorist. Is there any way an experimentalist can prove your theories?

    It doesn’t work that way. The state wants to cut funding for education and the way it does that is to take more and more money from property wealthy districts from the taxpayers in those districts. For the state to equitably fund school districts, it would have to increase other taxes, which is a no go.

    Level 3 checking in.

    Can you imagine how insane the reaction would be to the lockdown if Hillary had won?

    Old Raj Blue, Bulleit Rye, Knob Bourbon. Martinis, Old Fashioneds (and a Green Hat every now and then) and Vieux Carré round out my quarantinis.

    I made coq au vin the other night served with a salad Lyonnaise and a pre-dinner quarantini.

    Corned beef hash and eggs on March 18. Had the dome on so the top of the yolk looks overdone, but they were perfect. So good.

    Maniac, The 2020 appraisal is based on the market value as of January 1. If it’s just a lot as of that date, that’s what the appraisal will be based on. If you are in a neighborhood, they probably have a uniform land value. If you started construction prior to 1/1, it’ll be based off percent complete of the improvement as of 1/1.

    My twins were capped. First is going to accept it and try to get into UTSA. Apparently you have to sign up for the slots online like trying to get concert tickets. He thinks he wants to be a doctor and was accepted to Aggy in the vet/health sciences program. He’s still going to Texas (eventually). The other wants graphics design and was top 7% with a 33 ACT. He was capped as well and has decided to get a communication design degree from Texas State along with a 9k/year scholarship. That, along with the Texas Tomorrow fund, makes it almost a feee ride. Well at least one I won’t have to hammer big checks for. All good here.

    I’d rather not know any family secrets, my own or up a generation or two. An example of faith is the interest a man takes in his wife’s children and I’m good with that.

    A&M is one of my twins’ safety school. He is top-12% at Bowie HS in Austin and top 10% on his SAT. He is accepted into their vet medicine/biomedical science college. He will CAP into UT Austin at any college he his offered. I think UT-D took longer to accept him than Aggy. Please, Jeebus, let him into UT!

    Similar to yukis, but different.

    Raydog, Did any of your revelations above include any hypotheses that could be verified experimentally? Thought experiments are all well and good, but where's your prediction that can be tested?

    My sons will be riding an IMBA Epic tomorrow when the varsity HS team rides the Goodwater loop around Lake Georgetown. I will be spinning around the SATN, as 26 miles is a bit longer than I’ve ever done on a MTB. They’ve been cat’d up to varsity for their senior year in NICA which is cool. If anyone here has a 6-12th grader, I cannot recommend the NICA league enough.

    That would be Adam King Blackwell Reposa. He had his name changed to add King Blackwell because the Bar had issues with him using the DWI King on his website. He’s also been to jail at least once for contempt related to pantomiming masturbation to show his own contempt for the State’s argument at a bench conference.

    But shooting guns are fun and no one is allowed to get in the way of my fun. The 2nd A says so.

    The “1 tbsp of fresh black pepper” makes me think you are trying to fool us.

    What’s your pleasure, Knox? SATN (South Austin Trail Network) is smooth, with little tech and there is plenty of it. Besides the climbing (and it’s a lot) Colorado has nothin on the beating that central Texas trails can deliver. A varsity rider from our team who crushed the central Texas trails for years packed it in after a semester in Colorado. If you are used to smooth flow-trails in Tennessee, these can be a challenge. I’m fat (and almost 50) and like to ride at maybe 9mph. WD40 seems to like a faster ride and is way more talented than me. City Park is a beating and Hill of Life is as well. The Greenbelt has ton of climbing and rock gardens. SATN is silky with some varied terrain but mostly creek bottoms and the trails surrounding them. When are you coming?

    No kidding. We use a four bike Yakima tray that I got used for $100. A heavy bitch but does the job. When my kids graduate this year I’ll probably kick it down to another team family and then get a Kuat or the 1up if I have a particularly good distribution next summer.
