I would be good fodder. Generally terrible fly fisherman. Never fly fished salt (and sucked at it as a kid with red rubber worms). Would be more interested in watching my son catch something than hauling in hardheads myself. Would contribute to the beer fund. This sounds suspiciously like the department golf tournaments I always get suckered into gracious invitations for.

Toyota Innovative Driving Development Import/Export Series, imo

That setup was my first nice rig, and a way nicer reel than I'll ever need, but I knew it had to be mine for sentimental reasons. Which is why they love me at Living Waters. The older one doesn't know it yet, but he's getting this for his 21st: Thinking about pairing it with a Scott fiberglass 4wt to keep the Montrose gang together.

Haha, before we left I thought, "Damn, I gotta trim those nails." Then I thought, "No, I'm gonna need them to tie delicate high quality fishing knots pick apart my horrifying 'wind knot' disasters."

My younger son just had his fall break and wanted to go visit his brother at school in Colorado, so I gladly obliged. We missed the peak of the aspens, but it was still gorgeous and, like most trips up there, left me questioning the life decisions that keep me in Texas. Numerous gratuitous trout pics are in the fishing thread.

I haven't fished for guads a ton, either, but they're a lot of fun and seem to fish a little more like trout in moving water. LMB don't seem to fight a lot for their size and serve as a good origin for the "dead fish" expression IMO. Sunnies are just pure stupid anger and aggression and are fun after a bad day at work. As for me, my younger son just had his fall break and wanted to go visit his older brother at school in Colorado. Didn't take much arm twisting for me. I was surprised that the water temperature was still just fine for wading boots with neoprene socks, no waders needed. Things have been kind of shit lately, so I really needed this day, and therefore I'm going to make you scroll through all the fish pics: Nature pics in the post a pic you took thread.

Whenever a natural disaster occurs, Brent Venables can be depended upon to pull into town with a horse trailer loaded with expired groceries and baby formula to sell for a 2000% markup.

Brent Venables will eagerly steal signs from another team or the pen with the big plastic flower attached to it from the checkout counter, but doesn't want a poke badly enough to cheat for one.

A niche comment, but for those with kids interested in Colorado schools, if they happen to be a registered member of a Native American tribe with historical ties to Colorado, they qualify for in-state tuition. We heard about that from CSU when the older one visited, but did not realize that it applies to all state institutions in Colorado until later. Would have saved me some last year, but better late than never. Here's a list of the eligible tribes: I expect this will further inspire the younger one to look hard at CU/CSU.

Select/tournament teams? Just tell him you're putting up a giant QR code at the field so all the daddyball parents can post Google reviews of his turf business.

Oof. I haven't brewed anything since last year, but I know family will be disappointed if I don't have the usuals available for Thanksgiving. Went to the Austin Homebrew site to order stuff and it's gone to complete shit, including the prices. I've started saving the PDFs of their good recipes while they're still available (though you can't order the kits anymore). I guess Great Fermentations or MoreBeer are supposed to be good to order from, any thoughts?

My wife went to State, so I've always kept an eye on them and pulled for them, which was all the more fun with Leach there. I was disgusted that they hired that piece of shit, and I wish him such spectacular and gratuitously horrific failure that he's fired on the field after their last game, if not earlier.

Now figure out how to overlay the radio broadcast instead of Lowell and watch the monies pour in.

When you get the web version all ironed out the way you like it, this would make a really awesome phone/tablet widget.
