    Getting old sucks

    Disease of kings. You are eating too well.
  2. I have the small, two burner Weber gas grill and it is great for what it is. Being empty nesters we want something quick for burgers, steaks and fajitas. I use my BGE for everything else.
  3. Amerika (1987 mini-series)
  4. My favorite Asian cookbook.
  5. I’m sure it’s been mentioned many times but wrap an empty beer can in foil and put it under the brisket. It will fit. After it shrinks in a few hours it will easily fit without the can.
  6. I had it in June, so probably not the latest variant, but my symptoms were similar. I lost my sense of smell and taste a few days after most of my symptoms went away. My senses came back in about 36 hours.
  7. Nice LA trip. I’ve played LACC once a few years ago and it is very cool. I love playing old courses that now are pretty much in the middle of a big city.
  8. In the mid 80’s there was a father in Louisiana who was video taped at an airport waiting by some pay phones as a guy was being returned to face charges of killing (and I recall molesting) his son. As the suspect walked by the father shot and killed and him. IIRC, he got probation.
  9. I haven’t tracked it recently but when I looked at the amount that China holds early in the pandemic I thought it was in the 3-4 T range. I could be wrong. Still, it’s a start. Why pay those assholes anything.
  10. We should offset our Covid related costs against the trillions of US debt China holds. At least negotiate a reduction. Many say that it would completely screw the US in the credit markets. Well, don’t release (negligently or otherwise) a global pandemic and you’ve got nothing to worry about.
  11. Well, unless the State of Texas effectively waived SI, it can. I suspect some very rich ATM alums happily backstopped the contract. They (unwisely) thought they had a national championship locked up.
  12. I believe the Texas Legislature must waive SI. I don't know if they did that here, but I doubt it. My understanding on getting around SI is to get a non-State of Texas entity to guaranty the agreement. Many alums would happily do that to get a big name coach.
  13. Yep, he’s not very smart. I love this scene from Body Heat where Mickey O. tells William Hurt that there are 50 things that can go wrong in committing a crime and if you can think of 25 of them you are a genius, and he’s no genius.
  14. I'm 60 and a life long Beatles fan--at least since I was 12, and I just got around to ordering Disney+ to watch this. I finished it last night and It was very interesting. Episode 1 was a little boring at first. Creating songs from scratch must be hard and watching the sausage get made was a little tedious to me. Episodes 2 and 3 were very interesting and the ending was about perfect. Paul has always been my favorite and the first episode and half of episode 2 he came across as a prick. But he is a master at creating hit songs. Seemed like Ringo was a good guy that just wanted to keep things going. It was very interesting that the producers were planning for something of a live TV performance after three weeks or so of rehearsals (with songs that were yet to be created), and the band wasn't even sure where they would be playing. They were thinking of going to Libya at one point which sounded crazy to me. Maybe this is not surprising to anyone, but for the entire last half of the show it seemed obvious that they all knew that their time as The Beatles was soon coming to an end. Sure, they got together in the studio to record Abbey Road later in the year but there were several not so subtle hints that they were about done as a group even after they got George to come back. Some of the songs that ended up on Abbey Road were played in Get Back. As for the roof top concert it was by far my favorite part of Get Back. The public's reaction to what they viewed as an impromptu concert was very cool. I'm probably the most pro-law enforcement guy on this site, but those cops needed to GTFO. Oh, I'm still pissed at Yoko. I could never understand John's attraction. I can't believe they had to include some of her awful screeching--because she was a co-producer I suppose she insisted.
  15. It sounds like I would like Kootenai County.
  16. You must have a lot of accounts. I have all of our bank/broker/insurance information (account numbers, phone numbers, contact persons) in a Word file that i print on a couple of red pieces paper that my wife keeps in a physical file. I update it as needed.
  17. Is the course in good shape? It was nice early fall.
  18. I mis-read tx 3 putt’s post thinking it was “guess range”.
  19. Memorial Park?
  20. Life long allergy sufferer here. I’ve had allergy spells that were way worse than my Covid experience.
  21. This. They knew obesity was a huge risk factor very early in the pandemic. I heard zero PSAs urging obese people to lose weight. I guess that’s too mean. On age, I was 57 when the pandemic hit but I’m not overweight and about my only health-related vice is that I love my evening cocktails. I’ve been jabbed twice with the Pfizer shot and received one Moderna booster (In November 2021) and then I came down with Covid (Omicron, I assume) in June 2022. It was basically a nonevent. I have no interest in getting any more boosters unless something changes.
  22. Hoping for the best for the young man. Lucky for Isiah Robertson that he didn’t have a problem after Campbell’s hit.

    Yellowstone

    Is Jaime’s threat about the train station a bluff? Does he really have any proof? I thought I recall a statement by someone near the canyon that coyotes or wolves would leave nothing behind. Whether that’s accurate in real life, I have my doubts.
  24. Hudson is fantastic. She was great in Deepwater Horizon. Those eyes . . .
