  1. 45 years ago one of the dads on our Little League team had been a member of the Hitler Youth in his younger days. Served in the German Army postwar. Good guy & a friend.
  2. I am looking forward to the Horns giving the bucknuts a Cleveland Steamer like they did to Meatchicken in Ann Arbor last year.
  3. We don’t mind tall bar stools, but there should be some kind of rail to rest our gnarly feet on.
  4. That’s a felony anywhere in the civilized world.
  5. It was unremarkable and those barstools at the tall tables sucked. Our geezer happy hour group met up there once and we couldn’t sit comfortably because there wasn’t anyplace to park our feet. IIRC, the pizza wasn’t particularly noteworthy.
  6. Amusing anecdote about that little runabout: One fine summer mid morning I had a date with my gf (see pic) to take her waterskiing on Lake Austin. Launched the boat at Walsh Landing, left her holding the line at the dock while I put the car & trailer rig up in the nearby parking lot. When trotting back down to the dock I noticed something was kinda odd - she was standing there with a bewildered look on her face holding the line, but the boat was sinking. Seems that my dumb ass forgot to make sure the drainage plug was secure in the stern transome. The interior was almost a fourth full of water and the stern was starting to really tilt downwards. I managed to jump in and get the drainage plug in place, then frantically started bailing with my hands. She tied the line and got in to grab two plastic cups that we used to continue bailing. After a few minutes enough water was out so I could start the Evinrude 40 outboard. Good thing the battery was secured & dry in a waterproof case. She untied the line and I backed it away from the dock, then ahead at full throttle. As soon as we were up to about half speed, I told her to pull the plug so it could start draining - which it did completely in just a few minutes. After that we went on with the running around on the lake. Too bad I couldn’t take any pics of her skiing in that nice yellow two piece swimsuit. She filled it out nicely. After we both had graduated later I heard she had married a psychiatrist.
  7. Yeah, that world is a distant one from my 14’ Glasspar 60 years ago….
  8. Water into wine?
  9. *Fremont
  10. On the backyard covered patio - that’s 115 heat index.
  11. ATM had evil tu circled for several years prior to last November.
  12. Maybe she’ll be working on the next Bonfire as a Red Pot.
  13. Keith laid an egg with that one.
  14. That’s as bad as squinting at the scambled HBO/Cinemax.
  15. His English teacher was probably amused by The Miller’s Tale like mine was 63 years ago.
  16. Holey Moly!
  17. HEB was open….
  18. Very cool if true….. https://www.the-sun.com/news/14986488/ukrainian-sniper-record-kill-shot/
