  1. Just paid what was probably a stupid amount for my boys and me to see Stephen Wilson Jr. play about five songs as an opener last night. This was the first opportunity to see him here, so it was worth it regardless. Seriously tempted to pay for a Sunday at Two Step Inn to see him, Sturgill, and a handful of others -- but I so want to see him play a full show at an appropriately sized place. He's so fucking good.

    Bill Norton

    After stuffing the 4th-and-goal attempt, he goes up to the QB and says, "I'm Bill Norton! SAY IT!!!" Then he manipulates the QB's lips in such a way as to make him say, "Biiiilllnorrrrton".... it wasn't exactly like it, but it was pretty good for a guy named Klubnik!
  3. I've settled in on Third Coast as my everyday go-to. Never been to their location (I'm out of town and get it shipped), but easy to find at CM. The Italian roast and Double French are my jam.
  4. For the MS Paint aficionados, my son got me to watch all of these with him: The Big Lez Show Sassy the Sasquatch I don't really think I can explain them, but by the time we were done I really enjoyed both (and several other things the same guy has done). Sassy is actually pretty fucking awesome, and would probably be even better if watched in an "augmented" state. I've quit trying to understand his generation, it's a lot more fun to just enjoy the absurdity or whatever the fuck it is.
  5. Sure, why not? We're already going to be up there to see Lord Huron at Red Rocks, and my younger son will be doing college visits to Mines, CU, and CSU.
  6. The boy just sent this to me from CB: Living his best life.
  7. Indeed, but 1) he's cheap 2) I need something for him for Christmas 3) it will further cement his popularity on the dorm floor, even beyond the coveted bounties of his illegal air fryer.
  8. Hi Surly Snowsports Mafia, I'd like to get my son a setup to wax the ol' board, if you know what I mean, since he's up in CO for college and thus on the mountain all the time. I'm a summer mountains kind of guy, so totally lost here -- anyone have a recommended kit or manufacturer to look at? Thanks, obviously I'm not a golfer.
  9. He's pretty fantastic, learned about him from my son. His (really long) album is impressive, esp The Devil and Billy, IMO. He's in Austin in December opening for Koe Wetzel who I don't know, but we're going just to see him.
  10. 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.
  11. Toyota Innovative Driving Development Import/Export Series, imo
  12. 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.
  13. 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."
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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?

    Florida Gators

    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.
  22. Now figure out how to overlay the radio broadcast instead of Lowell and watch the monies pour in.
  23. When you get the web version all ironed out the way you like it, this would make a really awesome phone/tablet widget.
  24. Osteogenesis imperfecta (Lobstein syndrome), hemophilia (Christmas disease), and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Vaginal Friability (Liucci complex)
