  1. Anyone here play the Ben Hogan ptx irons? I badly need some new clubs. I loved my old hogan apex 50 blades, but I’m way too old and shitty to hit those anymore. That said, I can’t hit those damn offset “game improvement” irons worth a shit. I snap hook the fuck outta them. No clubs I’ve ever hit compare to the forged Hogan’s. Even the old apex plus cavity backs from way back in the day were incredible. Any reviews on this new version? Pretty interested in getting back into the game a bit.
  2. People eat store bought salsa that is not Julio's? I thought that was settled science. Who knew.
  3. this shit isn't "made" by HEB, but when HEB is open you can get Cowgirl Bacon, Cheddar, Jalapeno Popper dip in the cold section that is top freaking notch.
  4. Pretty disappointing situation. I was driving home from work on Friday. I get to the intersection of University and WEslayan a few blocks from my house. On the corner is a house with a big sign out front stating their Beto sign was stolen. I think that's a low life, horseshit move for someone to pull, stealing someone's sign and infringing on their 1st amendment. I have a friend working for the Beto group handing out signs. I send her a txt about the situation, and arrange to get a new sign for this person's yard. I acquire sign that night, and take it to the house. The guys says thanks, and that he's had 6 people bring him signs already. Glad to see some people found the actions to be straight horseshit as I did. THing is, the guy has all these extra signs now, but has left out the big announcement about how shitty the other side is for stealing his sign. I get it. Guessing he won't update to add that there is a ton of good out there that people brought him new ones, at least one of which came from a registered Republican.. What I am getting at is it is apparent this dude is simply trying to fuel further the dialog of discord about how horrible the other side is, when he now has at least 6 examples of good. Get over it. Be the bigger person. the whole climate is simply pathetic.
  5. that was one of my huge issues with shake shack when it opened in Rice Village in Houston. No jalapenos. You opened a burger shop in Texas, and have no jalapenos and claim you have sport peppers for your Chicago dog? Did you do any market research? At all? GTFO. apparently im not the only a-hole who complained. THey now do offer jalapenos "for their texas customers". Well, thanks so much for going out of your way for "texas customers". I know, I know, don't eat shitty burgers at shake shack, and there are thousands of better options. I get it. I know. I don't make that many decisions around my house. I am fine with that most of the time.
  6. Is his annoying ass dead wife now for real dead and gone, or do we still have to deal with flashbacks of that nonsene? I bailed 2 episodes into last season due to that goofy shit. I need Ray being a "fixer". I don't need Ray's emotional baggage. The show isn't that deep or serious.
  7. He’d definitely know about lying about what is in a health bill.
  8. that steering wheel is straight out of my 1990 Mustang GT. Circa 2006 when Aston came out with their mid engine Vantage that was supposed to compete with the 911 I flirted with swapping my 2005 C2S for one. My buddy who owned a dealership has a program Vantage he let me take for the weekend to try out. I kept it about half a day just to make sure. I knew the moment I turned out onto the service road and hit the gas there was zero shot I would trade for that thing. It was way way way more BMW 6 series than anything else. That is fine if you market the car as a sporty touring car. If you market it as a 911 competitor, and deliver a 600 series......no. Thing felt so heavy, sluggish, underpowered, and just flat out boring. The engine did sound good. It was inarguably one of the best looking cars ever made at the time. It simply was not what I was looking for, nor what I expected.
  9. based on my experience you'd still end up doing nothing but staring at brake lights from your 3 series service loaner.
  10. I've yet to see anyone voice any sort of support for these kinds of actions, nor anyone making any excuses. The reaction from the right is about 180 degrees from the reaction of the left when a sitting senator encouraged people to harass members of the opposite party. I hope they fry this dude in very quick time.
  11. yeah. she has that pretty mangled grill, and kinda crazy eyes, but oozes straight sexiness for whatever reason. Confident, smart, and strong willed for sure.
  12. I'd be fine if they go ahead and fry him in old sparky as soon as it is determined he's the guilty party.
  13. that needs to be a new menu special. I'm thinking THursdays like at Lankford's Grocery.
  14. even more odd to me, and I am not trying to make this in any way "political", but the "nothing to see here guy" was an Obama appointment while the "skin crawl" lady was first appointed as a judge by Reagan. The third lady was a Bush judge who obviously sided with Dassey too. The view of the woman seemed to be quite clear and rooted in basic common sense which I found slightly interesting given the murder victim was a young woman. The guy seemed to have his mind made up and he wasn't going to go against law enforcement under any circumstances. You simply cannot come away from that thinking they took "special care" in the interrogation of a minor, and a retarded one at that.
  15. one thing I haven't touched on as much is the dassey confession. Maybe we haven't seen the whole thing, but there is simply no reasonable person who could watch that, and conclude he wasn't led/coerced into that confession. I was appalled judge Hamilton was so steadfast and resolute in his opinion the confession was authentic, and there were no issues with the manner in which the confession was acquired. I'm no lawyer, but there's simply no way they didn't lead him into that fabricated tale. ANd that is before we even get to the fact that there is not one single piece of forensic evidence that backs up Dassey's confession that they handcuffed and shackled her, stabbed her in the stomach, cut her throat, raped her, all inside the house, and then took her outside and shot her in the head. They even told him where they "knew" the location of the shooting after he said it was outside by the fire pit they led him into saying the garage, yet no forensic evidence was found in the garage until a later search was performed. This whole thing is tragic on so many levels. We have a young, hard working woman murdered, a couple of doofus suspects who are basically Lloyd Christmas and Harry, a corrupt law enforcement office, unethical prosecution, and unfit defense team. there are so many glaring examples of injustice at every stage of this, starting with poor Teresa Halbach.
  16. a reasonable take on this issue. Ultimately, people make health insurance an emotional issue. The market makes it nothing more than a financial instrument like any other insurance.
  17. Looking at all the steak houses we have I just don't see going to pay $150 for a bone in ribeye. Maybe if it's some seriously elite meat, 40oz and for two people. Otherwise, Pappas, Vic and Anthony, Steak 48, Mastro, the porterhouse at DaMarco, STW, Killens, Del Frisco, etc are all better options. Hell the wagyu strip at Flemings is one of the best value steaks in town at about $50. I'm actually offended at the prices at Georgia James, especially considering how expensive 1/5 Steak was and how underwhelming my steak was at that place.
  18. The petition i linked on the previous page states the key was found on the 6th search of his house.
  19. Anything i want. Probably try and buy a well established vineyard in Napa that is cash flow positive, buy that, live there most summers, and not fuck it up. Keep Houston as home base. It much else really. Start a foundation that helps homless vets with mental health, hunger and housing, and possibly job post combat/ptsd. Something like that.
  20. there was a group out of LA in the mid 90's called The Borrowers (not the same group that is now called the Borrowers). They were sort of alt/folk. They had one or maybe two albums, and toured throughout Texas and the southwest. The settled in Austin, and I think maybe broke up after the one album. Anyway, I saw them in Houston a few times. Once at Velvet Elvis and a time or two at the old Rockefellers. Thought they were great and surprised they never made it bigger/longer. They have a song or two on iTunes. Mercy Bound is pretty solid if you want to look that one up.
  21. If anyone wants to read the motions filed on his behalf you can find them here. http://www.stevenaverycase.org/ at a minumim the post conviction relief is worth the read. Reading the story Kratz spun, and knowing the evidence simply does not back any of it up is a tragic application of the justice system. I absolutely believe avery is capable of this sort of crime. I am also 100% convinced they didn't prove he did it during this trial. http://www.stevenaverycase.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Motion-for-Post-Conviction-Relief.pdf
  22. they had to do that to Dassey. THeir whole case was built on his confession that they raped her, stabbed her, cut her throat as she was bound to the bed in the house. Of course, there is ZERO forensic evidence that occurred, but that seems irrelevant to the prosecution. THey had to convict him on that story, or they have no case against avery. one can argue they still have proven nothing against avery because we know the murder did not happen in the manner dassey says it happened.
  23. the scenes with Avery's parents are just painful to watch. lordy. I need more evidence, analytics, less manitowac hillbillies.
