  1. What was it before granny's? Seems like it was a Denny's.
  2. I know one of the guys that started it all way back when. He lives out in Dripping Springs now and has more real estate and more house to work with and it is something to see. He still does the Xmas lights for the Hyde Park Bar & Grill Westgate .
  3. Back in the day (mid 80's), when I was in Longhorn Band, band members were notorious for leaving shit on the field after practice and sometimes during halftime things were lost on the field. Nothing with the injury potential of medical shears, more like paper clips, rubber bands, lyres, safety pins, bobby pins etc. At one point the problem got so bad that somebody from the coaching staff had to have a word with us about the injury potential, especially with that hard ass astroturf field we had back then.
  4. Medical Update: I got my CPAP last Friday and have been using it every night. The good news: Programming and set up was a breeze, wife has not complained about snoring at all, machine is quiet enough also, and I am getting usage scores of 100 out of 100 every night (5 nights) with about .5 events per hour. So all of the external factors are great. The not so good news: My sleep is not so good, both by how I feel and as measured by my smart watch. Not a huge drop, but noticeable. I think some of it is getting used to the treatment, but I feel like I am waking up or in light sleep too much. I wake at night sometimes and mess with breathing, allowing pressure to build up, releasing through my mouth etc., and go back to sleep. I think one possibility is that I try to mouth breath once I try to begin snoring, and then go back to nasal breathing, but it kind of startles me so I come out of sleep at least 3-5 times per night. I have tried sleeping without my MAD and that makes the mouth breathing worse. I am not generally a mouth breather, but am interested in what a full mask might do. I will give it some more time, but given the proper working of the treatment side, I think I might need some kind of adjustments. Any thoughts?
  5. Obliviously mentioned on this thread before is Derry Girls. Just finished a rewatch and laughed my ass off all over again. Giving it a bump for lazy surls. Also, at 24 minutes per, good show to sneak in an episode or two while waiting for household members to finish up what they are doing before feature presentation.
  6. With a bowl win and the spring game we will be an even .500. B
  7. Will try to report back Monday. It will be tough to relay the actual disfunction in the written form as these things are always best experienced live.
  8. Thankful this day comes only once a year, until the next holiday. It was a rough one and it's not over yet. Lot of tension over here. Thinking I should drink more and start slinging insults, just to get everything out in the open.
  9. OK. Did the home sleep study and the result are in: But first a little refresher. Me 5'-11" 195lbs, 54. Dock says neck is a bit thick as is my tongue. Slightly deviated septum which doc says is too slight to make much of a difference. I have a MAD that helps but according to the wife, not nearly enough. I get almost 8 hrs of sleep/night and do not feel tired during the day or yawn a lot. Did a sleep study 15 years ago and was diagnosed with mild apnea and Dr. did not push CPAP. Wife was concerned about CPAP noise at the time so decided to try weight management (although I was not overweight at the time) and... I am about the same. REI: 10.5 OAI: 2.7 CAI: 0.9 Desat Index: 11.5 Average Desat %: 92% High Desat %: 97% Low Desat %: 83% Mean HR: 54.5BPM Lowest HR: 45 BPM (unusual, normally I get into the mid to upper 30's) Highest HR: 86 BPM 217 snoring episodes

    Tinnitus

    Not only that, but at of UNHEARD OF prices.
  11. In before Cloak Room reassignment.
  12. But I like it, too.
  13. My 70 year old secretary who looks likes like a Mexican Hallmark version of the perfect abuela, is addicted to not only Hallmark but her telenovellas. Mornings she watches churchy stuff, afternoons are for romance/smut.
  14. My non gringo business partner from Durango, loved that place. He also really likes Jacalito's over on East Oltorf, which I think is still there.
  15. That place was legit. Also had lots of interesting Mayan and Aztec soft core porn hanging on the walls.
  16. Don't forget about the Southside theater, which is now Blazertag. In addition to movies, the theater also served as a church for St. Catherine's of Sienna parish while the building funds were being raised and land was being acquired back in the early 80s. The was also a theater on Pleasant Valley.
  17. Need source for brisket and turkey for smoking at home. Gonna do em on the Big Green Egg. Thanks.
  18. Items I lightly traffic in have been way off since the pandemic hit. Large sporting goods items that are relatively expensive and hard to ship. Camper shells, Kayaks, and mountain bikes etc. I like to buy and sell camper shells that have some component that I like. I buy a shell take what I want clean them up, do minor repairs and then sell them again. Not too many good ones are coming up and some are just way too expensive. However, if you are willing to sit on one for a few weeks the market is there. Bikes are for shit right now. New Hobie kayaks are on back order all over the country/world. Nothing good going on there either. I don't really deal in these things for profit, its more of an exercise in constant upgrading to save money and occupy my time. Facebook marketplace seems like it sucks, was probably better before the pandemic.
  19. Seems like something Gordon Sumner would do.
  20. Where is the fun on that? But seriously, Catfish Parlor, Ben White.
  21. We did a 20' X 15' Ipe deck at our house back in 2013. Highly recommend. Looks good weathered and really good when I recondition it every couple of years. For the first few years I reconditioned every 6 months. Just a really great product.
  22. Tarantula Hawk user name checks out.
  23. They should set up a predetermined maximum string of games alternately played at each team's home park, where final victory can be attained by whichever team wins the majority of the predetermined maximum game number. Kind of like the World Series of Poker, but this would a "World Series of Baseball", as it were.
  24. I think the 1995 aggy game. Texas, after having been in A&M and Houston's shadows for a decade, seized the final SWC championship on visitor turf. It was a watershed event in the two different directions each program was on. A&M would go on to win the B12 title in '98, but even that had a loss against Texas and an embarrassing bowl loss. After '96, Nebraska would go on to win another MNC and another B12 Championship (against Texas). Their coach retired and some rules changed, so their eventual demise was not all on Texas' on the field domination. Plus they had 3 recent MNC's and one of the best teams of all time on their resume, plus a lot of other close calls for winning it all over almost a 20 year period. The writing on the wall was just not as apparent with Nebraska, but with aggy, you knew their time was over.
  25. Growing up in the 70's, this all seems vaguely familiar somehow. I don't think the cops are finished with this one. "Mrs. Columbo, is such a big fan of you work. Could you autograph this for her, it would mean so much. Thanks" "Oh, and one more thing, Mr. Baldwin"
