  1. Where??? I need to go there………………
  2. Seems to me, as an old fart fan, that Dak rolls all the best and the worst of Craig Morton, Gary Hogeboom, and Danny White into one package; tremendous physical abilities, highly suspect decision-making, and lacking leadership abilities completely. The Cowboys are turning me into a Sunday soccer fan……..
  3. Probably need to change up your drug intake.
  4. Serrations? Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker. Videos out there to make it clear; my daily carry is a non-serrated blade since I don’t cut many ropes, but I own several serrated ones……..
  5. I was born at Wichita General. My father’s first degree was from Midwestern. Our little family got the hell out. Even my sentimental mother hated going “home” to Iowa Park to visit her parents. It’s an amazingly dreadful place-debatably worse than collie station.
  6. Aw, it’s a lightweight summer entertainment movie. I always wonder if Kevin Bacon needs his dosage adjusted on something or other. Some of the bits are pretty good-but don’t expect “Chinatown.”
  7. Had Holy Smokes! BBQ from Marble Falls on the 4th. Not impressed, undercooked and very chewy. Maybe the holiday rush? I’ll let somebody else test during a “normal” week.
  8. Hah! I’ve heard it all. Best British sports car ever built. Besides, I have discovered that an old guy, very grey and hatted can drive like a maniac and LEO just yawn. Needs a 4th set of tires at 73,000, though.
  9. I was watching right for deer, jackrabbit came from my left; destroyed the bumper cover, the air dam, and both interior and exterior front fender (left). My F150 probably would have shrugged it off, too. Besides, body work is hellaciously expensive because insurance is involved………….
  10. I hit a sneaky, suicidal jackrabbit at 75+ about 5 years ago in my Miata-$3500
  11. Anything by Deep Purple is an immediate channel-switcher for me. David Bowie close, too.
  12. I’ve spent time with several belonging to shooting buddies, MAC 10, MAC 11, Thompson 1928, grease gun, H&K MP5. Pretty fun, but expensive as hell to feed. Still want to shoot a BAR/Colt Monitor.
  13. Let’s just say this: DO NOT, under any circumstances, mention my name or even screen name, at any car rental agency in Europe. I think the Paris gendarmes are still looking for me.
  14. At one time, years ago, i actually owned 2. One blued, one stainless folder. What was i thinking? Gun show lust, I guess
  15. Wireless. Didn’t Keith say in his book that Mick was actually an interesting/funky/useful rhythm player?
  16. Needs more mayo, but fried bologna is a damned good substitute for bacon.
  17. I thought it was Ian McLaughlin, then Los Lobos, but I had been pregaming………..

    Bob Seger

    In my mind, the ultimate is “Radar Love.” But this is a strong contender. Do we have a thread on ultimate driving songs? Perhaps we should. And don’t sleep on “Kathmandu” by Bob…………..

    Getting old sucks

    Living with a loved one with expressive mental illness is probably the freshest hell on earth. Hang in there.
  20. No argument. Charley was exemplary. Ronnie was hired because he was Keef 2.0 and could handle Keef’s “guitar weaving” approach. Keef has plenty of tricks, but he’s not a particularly guitar proficient-what he has is an ear to keep things moving-while Mick does what he does-just being the world’s greatest front man in the world’s greatest RnR band.
  21. Just back from a 1 day nilgai hunt on the King Ranch; had lunch at Tucker’s BBQ in Raymondville on Friday. Bark cut off the brisket! Tasted like it was cooked too fast, too hot. Potato salad just meh. Broccoli “slaw” was interesting and pretty good. Do not recommend this place-Whataburger is less than a block away.
  22. Pork chop and (free) beans at Cooper’s in Llano. Only 2 things on the menu worth eating.
  23. I had a guitar teacher many years ago that was completely blind since birth; a piano tuner, too. He kept an (illegally short) 12 gauge next to the bed. Needless to say, his hearing was perfect. I wouldn’t bet against him for those first 2 rounds………
