  1. CSB: I remember a few years ago I was dabbling in the Wim Hoff method just to see what it was all about. For those not familiar, it is basically a two step method of stress to reinvigorate the body and connect it back to its evolutionary/genetic roots or some shit. The first part of the method involves cold water plunges on a regular basis. It's more than that but that is the basic premise. Part two is an involved breathing method that has some similarities to hyperventilating which is done daily. Again, it is more involved than that but that is the overall deal. I did not do cold water plunges since I didn't have a means to do them, so I substituted cold showers. I did the breathing for about 10 days and started off with being able to hold my breath for about 90 seconds. After day 10 it was over 5 minutes. I also lost like 7lbs. Some people pass out during the breathing excercises so they recommend not doing them in the open water. Can't imagine going to that depth tho.
  2. It's probably already done.
  3. Gotta admire the commitment to the bit. Pro tip: Heat the pool for added effect.
  4. This. Any morsels they release will be of the unexplained variety or some cold war declassified spy shit. The ramifications of alien contact or even existence disclosure would be world changing. Surly might even add a new thread instead of just tagging onto this one.
  5. My family headed out to Utah on June 29 for a USA Climbing Competition with the plan that we would hit some National Parks/Forrest while there and on the way back to Austin on July 18. Day 1 of the road trip we arrived Albuquerque, and despite being in a desert was still much cooler than Austin. Salt Lake City was great. I would even get in the hot tub every morning too loosen up before I went on my bike rides. Alas, I was drawn back to San Antonio on an emergency flight 6 days into the trip when my dad was taken to the emergency room and later moved to ICU where he died 6 days later. Funeral planning and helping my mom kept me here for the duration of the trip. My wife and kids could not even attend the funeral since the kids had national competitions up until a day or two before his funeral. My parent's ranch is southeast of San Antonio and it was 108 all four days I was down there cleaning up the yard and garage.
  6. Wonder what the heat index is.
  7. Thanks. His funeral is Tuesday. You may know what's coming, but you won't be ready.
  8. My dad died last Tuesday at 89. I wish he was still around to make fun of. He had some serious olds lulz. Thanks for the lulz old man.
  9. Spent a couple of nights under the stars at mile marker 58 Padre Island National Seashore. Played Texas/OU halftime show with Willy. Snuck into the Disch over visitors bullpen fence many times. Played pool and drank Lone Star in a beer joint....when I was 8. Summer Had my first shot of whiskey on a pier in Copano bay .. also 8. Winter. Taken a burt orange shit in the dunes at Matagorda. Dipped Copenhagen...at my wedding reception. Killed grasshoppers with a homemade slingshot. Got fired from the Posse East. Built my own home out in the country.
  10. What about with wind chill?
  11. Vacationing and doing some climbing competitions up in Utah/Salt Lake area for the last three weeks. Very red state except for some pockets in SLC...still better than Texas, even with all of the LDS kookiness. Weather, hiking, snow sports, fly fishing, mountain biking, etc.
  12. I don't know man, PBS used to put out notices that "some content might be offensive" warnings right before some shows....like Barney.
  13. Dan just has no way to correctly perceive the depth of the situation.
  14. Looks like somebody took notes on a criminal conspiracy.
  15. It was a bit like this Austin last summer. We got hit with record heat in late June through late July. Then we got showers for weeks on end before returning to the normal August/September spiral of hit death.
  16. Just one? Seems a little like underachieving.
  17. Austin just got it's first real tall wall gym. Mesa Rim. Kids are there 3 days a week plus 2 days at ABP. USA Climbing regional comp is tomorrow. Home gym is more expensive than you think. Exhaust all possible avenues before building.
  18. They will never lose the morning saltwater fishing market.
  19. Yes the Houston people looked quite bedraggled on sat.
  20. MS 150 is in the books. Thanks to those who donated and put in some encouragement rep. Crazy tailwind on Saturday got me 20mph for the day and 5mph tailwind on Saturday helped me get 18.35 mph...crazy good numbers for this guy, who on a good day might get 16mph and who just started cycling 6 months ago. Also 5'-11" and 200 lbs at 56 years old...so get after it surly. If this old man can do it, so can you.
  21. New thread title. Tucker Carlson: Not tonight.
  22. The youth of America also need to take up less dangerous sports than basketball..such as Russian roulette, big wall free soloing, and black Friday shopping for instance.
  23. This will be a giant leap forward in the treatment of the insane gambler.
