  1. Tillamook strawberry ice cream is damn good. Highly recommend.
  2. Armybrat

    Tex Mex

    Ain’t got enough hair to dye blue.
  3. We are having a family birthday (3 birthdays in fact) celebration dinner at a nearby restaurant on Sunday, and we just picked that container up to go with the cake desserts we will serve here at home afterwards. The kids & grandkids will take the leftover cake home, but I have dibs on the Creamy Creation. No aggie ice cream allowed in this house.
  4. BB uses high fructose corn sweetener. HEB Creamy Creations uses real cane sugar.
  5. Buc-ee’s does sell some good sammiches
  6. Armybrat

    Tex Mex

    We just go for the 1/2 price HH dishes most of the time.
  7. This is my go-to smith…. https://www.blackjackguns.com
  8. My oldest brother is an Eagle Scout - He attained that rank at the age of 13. (Had over 100 merit badges). I didn’t make it past my Cub Scout Wolf badge after we moved back Stateside in 1954. Mom was our Den Mother at Fort Brooke in Puerto Rico. I’m 4th from left:
  9. Smoking that cigarette wasn’t doing his health any good.
  10. My oldest son & 1st wife bought this house on Triton Court in Lakeway 30+ years ago. Lived there for several years before they were divorced. It has been totally renovated in recent times. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/103-Triton-Ct-Lakeway-TX-78734/29350900_zpid/
  11. Maybe both.
  12. Yep, every once in a while we would see an open bed truck driving around the streets with a bunch of wailing/crying people in back dressed in KKK type robes & hats. A few times a couple dozen “mourners” were packed in the back of big dump trucks. The deceased must’ve been well off contruction types. They raised quite a racket.
  13. Yep, a B12 coach bullshit downvoted Texas enough to make a difference in that poll. Briles?
  14. At the US Military Compound in downtown Taipei during the late 1950s, the Officers’ Club had a windowless room about 25’x25’ with slot machines lined up on all four walls. Minor dependents were not permitted, but I peeked in to see if my Mom was winning anything. The place was packed and the cigarette smoke was almost too thick to see across the room from the door. It was like that every Friday & Saturday evening. At that time Taipei had no television stations, no American movie theaters, and only one US Armed Forces Radio station for entertainment. Most of the US military wives drank heavily.
  15. Who translated for him, Barbara Billingsley ?
  16. Yes, on aisle 12 at Academy Sports….
  17. And specialized training for their future workplace ….

    Whacked - now waiting an hour for the lab report to see if he got it all.
  21. One of those captured German V-1 “buzz bombs” was on static display at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas when when Dad was attending the CGSS there (1949-59). We armybrats used to crawl all over that thing & straddle it like Slim Pickens.
  22. This Cajun joint in Round Rock seems ok, but I just go there for the CFS - but Mrs. Brat likes their shrimp dishes. https://www.thelouisianalonghorncafe.com/menu
