You sound like an Aggy repeating the same thing over and over every page. 3rd downs, missed throws, just sloppy ass play, etc are much more to blame than penalties at this point.

They should be paid or shut the whole thing down. No one should have to show up on a promise of getting paid at some point in the future. Thatās not the way this would work. As far as private, Iām fine limiting at the largest airports but past that it would be everyone or no one in my eyes. Park them all or let them all fly. I fly 2-3 times a month and rarely if ever use a major airport. I generally use the smaller airports for 95% of my flights. I had to go into Dulles this week and the FBOās were loaded down with jets. I bet there were 100+ Saudi (Iām guessing) military guys at the FBO on Monday going out on several Gulfstreams and planes were sitting everywhere they could find a place to put them.

In DC for meetings the next couple of days. My wife and I went down and walked the loop around the reflecting pool and part of the national mall. All I felt was an overwhelming sense of sadness as we walked through the memorials for the hundreds of thousands of citizens that have died in the wars commemorated there just for us to be sitting here today in the shit show that has been created by both sides. The whole system is fucked and dishonors the memories of those that gave their lives for us to get to this point.

Looks like the youngest is locking in on Mizzou if they will give her in state. We were surprised by the campus visit there. The campus was in great shape, most things renovated, easy to move around, and the med school/hospital system is integrated into the campus and a plus to the whole campus itself. Columbia was pretty surprising as a college town. Weāre going to tour Arkansas in a couple of weeks and see how that goes.

Hit 58 straight days yesterday of some sort of weights and cardio after deciding the first of September to jump in the deep end of the exercise pool. The guy Iām training with convinced me to run a 5k with him this week which sure as hell wasnāt happening 2 months ago. Didnāt set the world on fire but finished in what I considered a respectable time of 35 minutes (had to take a couple of walks in the middle).
-
Ummm, one of these things doesnāt seem like the others. Daughter started feeling bad right before the start and had to go to the med tent about 5 laps in. The weekend of open to close in the sun/heat caught up with her. Looks like we didnāt miss much. Did get to move my flight up which was nice. Airport was a cluster. Probably going to try a different track next, the setup and the heat were a lot.

For the Austin people, weāre in town for the race and staying out in the airport area. Iām looking for a place to go get 4-5 miles running in this afternoon because the kids want to go downtown to the pop up shops after the afternoon interview session. Is the McKinney Falls area a decent enough place? Not really feeling running the neighborhoods weāre in plus I would rather have some limited scenery. Didnāt run at all until 2 months ago, down about 22 pounds since the beginning of August walking/running 30 or so miles a week and working out 30-45 minutes on top of that every morning.

We were trying to figure out what some of the guys on motorcycles were doing in traffic on the way out there, but that explains it.

All of mine are in real estate. Coming out of the financial crisis, I bought real estate with buddies. By the 2019 or so timeframe we were at close to 300 doors, had a property management company managing 800-1000 doors, lawn company, etc. Property values were not increasing in our market and it was all a big ass headache with our day jobs, so we liquidated leading into and through Covid. The values Iām seeing on the same properties selling now is significant. One 8 plex we sold for $300k (needed some work) is currently listed for $1.2M. I also had a chance to buy 30+ finished condos in a development on 30A out of receivership for $250k each back then. We put the money together and had an accepted offer at less than that with the bank and got cold feet during due diligence because it had what we thought was a strange beach access setup and a couple other issues. The association had a pontoon that ran you back and forth across a dune lake to a beach access and we thought for rentals it just wouldnāt interest them. Last time I looked they were selling in the $1.3M range and the building stays heavily rented. The state helped fund developing a 1000 acre lake about 30 miles from me. During the time frame where they were doing surveys, I had a chance to buy what ultimately would have been 20+ waterfront lots and additional land for less than $200k. We walked the property after they had surveyed it and just couldnāt get a good feeling about the static water level line and there were a lot of questions about homeowner access still. Needless to say that was a bad call.

You are on the side of the river with the Art Institute which at least according to my wife and kids is excellent. Walk through Millenium Park and see the faces, the bean and the fountain. We usually take a water taxi from the aquarium/planetarium area through the river and also do an architectural tour. Weāve been to most of the theaters and opera house, just pick a show that interests you. One of our favorite places to eat right now is Sienna Tavern.

Nashville has one of the highest rack rates in the country, but your search ability isnāt great. The Drury Plaza in Franklin is a decent enough property that is under $200, has free beer at night, and decent breakfast availability. There are also plenty of hotels in the Vandy/right outside of downtown area for under $300. Youāre not staying in a JW, but for a night with kids a decent room should be all that matters.

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time Itās Personal
Brew replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
A movement defined by a population of people only worried about āIā without realizing that what actually makes America great is the āweā. By the time this is all settled, I hope there is a still a āwe the peopleā to stand for because it doesnāt look good at the moment. -
Government Shutdown 2025: This Time Itās Personal
Brew replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
It is a rhetorical question, but I donāt read it in the same context you do. The filibuster is always a threat, yet somehow the votes/negotiations usually work themselves out. Seems odd this time around that isnāt happening nor is there even much movement towards it happening. Why oh why could that be? -
Government Shutdown 2025: This Time Itās Personal
Brew replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
The conversation is always so much more fulfilling when the āadultsā show up. Makes me feel so great about the direction of our country. Spent the last hour on the phone with my oldest as she has come to the realization over the last year that her lifelong plans around becoming a lawyer and working on the legislative side of our government probably isnāt for her after all. Listening to her and her friends and their perspective is really a kick in the nuts. Iāll be fine either way, I can pack my shit, write a check, and move to wherever will take me whenever I get tired of everything. Her generation isnāt so lucky.- 2558 replies

Government Shutdown 2025: This Time Itās Personal
Brew replied to Bozo_Casanova's topic in Cloak Room
Got notification from my government agency tenants that my rent checks would not be coming today, utilities need to be maintained during the shutdown, and not to contact the employees during the shutdown. Wonder if I can just change the locks if this runs long enough? -
Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
Brew replied to High Plains Drifter's topic in Daily Texan
Day 4 of Covid after taking a flight to Houston late last week for a meeting. Shit sucks, itās really kicked my butt this time. It has been much more of chest congestion issue for me this time than head congestion. About ready for it to move on. -
Been using the free version of Loseit, works really well for tracking. Most things are in their system which makes it simple to enter.

Running right at 35/31/34 on average it looks like with avocado most days pushing the fats up a little higher. Keeping the calories up closer to 1800-1900, but still on the low end of protein I think. Going to work on that some this week and dropping fats down some more. Still losing about 2 pounds a week. Walked/ran 30 miles last week and did 6-8 more rowing plus weights most days. Went with the TL protein shakes, weāll see how they are tomorrow.

Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)
Brew replied to msbesq's topic in Cloak Room
I know a number of Ole Miss sophomores as well as kids on every class. My daughter is a sophomore at UGA and has a lot of friends there from her high school graduating class. She is over there once a month or so to hang out with them. I also live in Ole Miss country as far as graduates go. Posting that in Oxford takes a lot of gumption. -
Anyone have healthy protein shakes or bar options that arenāt overly sweet? I saw the TL mention, but is there a flavor that is less sweet? Someone gave me a couple of Barebells and they were like eating a candy bar. The shakes have been like drinking chocolate milk or a milkshake. Vanillaās have been a little better. Outside of a piece of cake on my birthday, I havenāt had sweets in months and even then it was rare. Just not a big fan of sweets in general.
-
We havenāt talked on that split specifically, but I would say based on looking at the first week it would be moving more of the carb percentage to protein. Somewhere in the 30/30 range but Iāll have to bring that up. Main issues right now with the calorie numbers are not much appetite, not big on an abundance of animal protein, and a super low active heart rate. Iāve got some built up weight to burn off anyways. Activity wise Iām at 3-4 miles a day walking, light weight training every day in some capacity, and then Iāll cut the walking in half and row 5-6 miles a couple of days a week.
-
No hard target, Iām staying right around 1600 calories on average maybe a little less. He is wanting me around 1800-2000 calories and 170-200g in protein which doesnāt leave a ton for carbs and fat. I think leaning even heavier on proteins at the expense of carbs this first couple of weeks is what the goal is. With 2 protein shakes today I got to 160g and 1750 calories and I really wasnāt interested in the second shake. Not a fan of Stevia sweetener aftertaste, so I need a different shake taste.
-
To be fair, that was from text messages back and forth after I sent him last weekās meal notes. Talked today at workout, he wants me to cut them to a minimum and only eat for lunch if Iām going to eat them for the next couple of weeks. Dinner chicken/fish, broccoli, cauliflower and a few other things mixed in. The medical issue would be getting some weight off near term and limiting carbs to help. I have a low metabolism and a very low active heart rate, so my diet needs to look different to make some difference in the weight category.
-
I rarely if ever red meat, Iām not up for chicken and eggs every day at the volume I probably need. I havenāt thought too much on other sources like cheese/milk. I averaged out to about 110 grams a day last week which was primarily from egg whites, chicken, yogurt, and beans and the egg whites are a new addition. My high day was 160 when I consciously tried to eat more. With a protein shake yesterday I got to 130 grams but I didnāt eat much for supper because I felt like shit. I assume on the potato/rice discussion itās carb related. May also be because of the lower protein intake and trying to replace those staples with proteins. Heās more of an eggs, grilled chicken salad, chicken and broccoli 7 days a week kind of guy. Iām looking for something I can settle into long term even if the weight loss on the front end is slower.
