  1. It's a pretty long boat ride, but it looks like you can get to the back side of the Inks Lake dam from this public ramp:

    Lake LBJ can also be accessed via the Llano River on a one-lane concrete ramp at Kingsland Community Park off RR 2900. A boat launch fee is required at the ramp, which is operated by the Kingsland/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce. Open year-round, it is day-use only. Call (325) 388-6211 for more information.

    Not able to find any candied fruits at the store. Supposed to be coming in this week. It's usually available by now. If not, then no fruitcake this year. 

    You say that as if it is a bad thing.

    Liberty Hill regains lead 29-26 vs Alamo Heights late 3rd quarter. It's a pretty fun game.

     

    UPDATE: 36-33 Liberty Hill. 

     

    UPDATE: 43-40 Liberty with 1:30. 

    43-40 Liberty Hill is the final score.  The first (and last) loss for the Alamo Heights Mules this season.

    That rendering of downtown has to be like 5-6 years old at least.  

    The article mentioned that point:

    "A massing of the Sixth and Rio Grande tower plan that’s roughly accurate to its stated height and the limitations of the Capitol View Corridor passing through the site, though the real tower could look very different than this cosmetically. You’ll notice that Google Earth’s 3D buildings are pretty out of date — nearby condo towers Fifth & West and the Independent are both under construction here, with other new towers totally missing. Image: James Rambin / Google Maps"

  5. 0Generally a push time-wise.  San Antonio starting point might make a difference on route.  I've done both.  The 90 route is more interesting, but doing cruise control on I-10 is way less off a drain on the driver.

    I-10 route means barbecue in Junction.  90 route means tacos in Del Rio.

    Worked with a guy way back who (allegedly) lost his ring finger checking a load of hay (ring got stuck somewhere as/when he jumped down) or something. 

    I don't even wear a watch. Next time you're wondering what time it is, make a good effort to guess before you check (your phone, duh).

    Same here on the loss of a finger due to wedding band.  I ditched the watch 15+ years ago when smart phones became a thing.

    Brother in law is one of these who blows his wad chasing bourbon and waiting outside liquor stores like he's in the year 2000 waiting outside Walmart all night for a PS2 launch. I don't get it but it's not my time and money wasted. 

    I enjoy a good scotch occasionally but haven't cared for bourbon so haven't tried any in years. What's the consensus on the best bottle of bourbon I could walk into a specs or total wine and buy tomorrow? I'd like to try one to see if I like it any better than 20 years ago. 

    I like Angel's Envy sometime.  Jack Daniels or Wild Turkey are my everydays.

    Like any good Texan, I sing my children to sleep with London Homesick Blues. It's about the perfect song to put an unruly child to sleep to. And I have plenty of unruly children to attest to it.

    It was Ernest Tubb's "Waltz Across Texas" at our house, but whatever works!

    Cool bowls -- but that is way longer than I cook shrimp and oysters.  YMMV.  Fun thread because there is no wrong way to make gumbo (unless you are doing that pre-made roux from a jar!), I kid, I kid.

    Oh and I have 6oz of congealed turkey drippings from the pan that I am going to fold into the stock after skimming all the fat off the top.

    I think its going to be RIIIIICH

    First you [use that skimmed fat along with butter, oil and flour to] make a roux.

    It will find its way around the vaccinations because that is what a lab created virus does. It mutates. 

    Not at all sure that a virus needs to be lab created to mutate.  Look at recent history as to how the annual flu shots have been hit or miss as to the efficacy related to the strain that will be going around in a given year.

    These may look like regular pizza rolls,  but they've been tossed in garlic butter and sprinkled with parmesan.

    Sandra Lee of Semi-Homemade Food Network fame may be calling you for that recipe.

    Wife’s uncle volunteered to bring the wine.  Brought three bottles of Barefoot something or other - one white & two different reds. Took everyone’s request -  Poured each person a glass, recorked the bottles and put them back in his wine tote and put it by the door….. later left taking his partial bottles back home. 

    Bear in mind this isn’t someone who is into the temperance movement.  He spent plenty of time at the bar pre and post meal drinking other peoples’ liquor.

    To say he’s cheap is a massive understatement.  Has plenty of money and two nice homes.  Just bizarrely lacks any self awareness or doesn’t give a shit. 

     

    Consider yourself fortunate -- all of those Barefoot wines are swill.  Wife's Uncle is not only cheap.  He has very poor taste in wines.

    Make gravy by making stock from the neck and gizzards. After you make the gravy you can add smoked drippings a little at a time. It can definitely be overwhelming if you add too much but if you get it right, it’s glorious.

    ^This.  Be careful with any drippings from a brined bird.  Can get way salty way quickly.

    Work is fucking up my whole scene right now. I should be sitting in a fucking blind all week. 

    Planning to go make some lead fly shortly after the grace is said at Thursday Thanksgiving dinner.
