  1. That’s exactly how I described him to Mrs. Brat this morning. Dude is unhinged.
  2. What a difference a week makes at the Sandcastle condos in Port Aransas… (click the Sandcastle live webcam link below the pic) https://www.sandcastlecondos.com/live-surf-cam/
  3. And firing the entire 500 member tech department that has developed the charging infrastructure ain’t gonna help.
  4. Agreed, but I like the camera feature - gotta take pics of the food at the restaurant. And apps like Waze and the weather radar can be very useful. The rest of that crap is…..crap.
  5. So I hear Tesla has an EV in the works that will be priced in the $25,000 range. Something like that could be a game changer in the lagging EV market. But I don’t really know diddly squat.
  6. I guess some honchos at Boeing are sweating bullets recently.
  7. RIP to an American icon.
  8. In the meantime, the Edsel of aircraft carriers continues to intimidate from its decade-long “overhaul”…. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_aircraft_carrier_Admiral_Kuznetsov

    Getting old sucks

    Yeah, shoulda had him slice off that turkey neck.
  10. Put it out next to the Meat Judging & Equestrian trophies as the trifecta centerpiece in that huge Hall of Champions of theirs.
  11. So College Station can’t claim that “championship”?
  12. I thought aggy was cutting ties with the Qatar operation?
  13. Maybe RD could come out of “retirement “ and get on the case.
  14. I never liked Bill Haley and His Comets. Half of Elvis’ repertoire sucked.

    Getting old sucks

    Got the first of four stent implants 24 years ago, the last one after a heart attack in 2018. The first three were done before the invention of the plug for the groin femoral artery. Back then after the cath was removed, a nurse used their hand to put pressure on the stitched incision for 30 minutes to clot it up. My first time it was a good looking blonde babe who performed that task, so that was nice….even though the situation didn’t induce any embarrassing “reaction” from her touch. The next two were done by male nurses, so no fun there. The last one six years ago was a breeze with the newfangled plug, and there was very little bruising. Same with the TAVR procedure last September. During the first two stent implants, the docs let me watch it live on their monitors. Pretty interesting stuff, and the second one was actually ticklish when he was poking the catheter through the 100% blockage to insert the balloon. Kinda funny feeling that poking deep in my chest, so I asked him what would happen if a chunk of that plaque broke off. He replied, “Well, you could have a stroke and die”. For some reason (probably the anesthetic) I thought that was funny, and started chuckling. Doc said to hold still though. scary times, but at least they kept me alive.to see VY and 4th & 5.

    Yes. A clear, unfettered look…
  17. No Green Beret numbers.
  18. Have him wear white socks all the time.
  19. I thought it was stupid. Sousa ftw, plus Texas songs.
  20. Always interact with the facility staff, that’s what my brother did almost every day (he lived 5 minutes from Dad’s nursing home). He even brought fresh baked cookies & cakes in for theirbreak room on his floor. Schmoozed with the administrators at least weekly didn’t hurt either.
  21. That’s an aggy trio….Grandpa/Dad and son.
