  1. Love seeing that, but I can't be the only one who realizes that whenever Bevo decides he's tired of being held those Spurs better have a plan B.
  2. Awesome, glad to hear all is well.
  3. Thanks for posting. I knew the generalities of the story but not the details. Crushing. Like many others, I hope he figures the football stuff out, but he's light years ahead of most of his peers on the life stuff. Hook 'em Sam and Ross!!
  4. There's a hotel called The George that is right in the area Walden described. Stay there. It's kind of like the Mexican resorts these days. Stay close to the hotel and you should be OK. The crepe place he mentioned is legit. https://www.thegeorgetexas.com/
  5. Whatever the opposite of a bucket list is, you're making progress on it.
  6. The horse farm to the south and the pet resort to the northwest should be leading the charge on this. I'd think a gun range in close proximity to either of those would be problematic.
  7. Brian Jones dropping some truth with the musers.
  8. I bought an Amazon Fire TV Cube on Amazon day. Finally got around to connecting it and I am pleased / impressed. The Alexa voice recognition is pretty good. I'm using PS Vue and Netflix / Amazpn prime. mainly. My 5 year old thinks it's magic. To someone's point earlier, it does begin to add up with PS Vue, the devices, netflix, prime, hulu, noggin, etc. Still cheaper than what Verizon/Frontier was bending me over for and I was paying for netflix, prime, hulu anyway.
  9. My son is on the team. Looking forward to the season.
  10. Young adults trying to intimidate / cause damage - in broad day light Just now - around 2:22 PM there was a huge bang on our front door. Some 4 young adults threw a heavy newspaper / magazine at our main door and ran. It barely missed the side glass. The miscreants would have thought that no one was home. Our entire family was at the residence except for me. My wife rushed out and took some pictures of them. These kids then went down south - seemingly looking for other houses. I smudged them up - not to hurt anyone's feelings.
  11. I looked into this last year with similar kinds of specs and ended up in the $20-25k range. I decided at that point that I could spend several nights in a nice hotel before I justified the cost. 40k seems awful high.
  12. FSU Chief Osceola pregame flaming spear in the grass with tomahawk chop throughout the stadium is the coolest 3rd party tradition I've seen in person Clemson Howard's Rock Ole Miss Walk of Champions are are also pretty cool as a casual observer. Dumbest thing that people seem to get excited over: Who dots the " i " at Ohio State.
  13. Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop. 5 miles or so south of Lahaina. Worth the drive and wait in line IMO. Aloha
  14. January 2008 Bahamas (Atlantis Sports Book) Vacationing with another family so the other dad and I arranged for our wives to handle the kids while we drank, bet & watched playoff games. At some point that morning I learn that the Giants have had a a DB suspended or injured in addition to the other DB who was already injured. I take this knowledge and place the following bets: 1. Cowboys to cover (-7 or so) 2. Bet the over (46 or 47) 3. TO to have a big day (80+ yards, etc.) I thought no problem, Cowboys are rolling and now with the Giants injury situation it was like free money. Cowboys straight up lose in a low scoring affair and TO is held to about 40 yards. FML.
  15. Sorry to hear it. Hopefully, things turn around somehow and he can recover.
  16. https://www.amazon.com/Watching-Football-Discovering-Game-Within/dp/0762739061 really is a good book for explaining things like you describe. It is NOT going to have tips for how to tackle, etc.
  17. Hang in there Al. I'm sure it's frustrating to feel like you are doing what you should but your body isn't cooperating. Remind me, did you hit a wall that caused you to move from IF to full one multi-day fasts? Have you tried just doing a week or so of IF again to see if you end up net -2.5 /week either way? I know the Thyroid and hormone issues can be a pain to regulate and definitely have big impact.
  18. I got one when they had the discounted pre-order price. It's nice as a cord cutter to use it to turn off TV, change volume, switch inputs, etc. Can't use it to change channels on my Tivo (at least not that I've figured out yet). Also functions like a normal echo. Not a must buy but it's useful to me and hopefully becomes more useful with time. Bought the fire tv cube on amazon day. Haven't unboxed it yet and leaving town for a week so won't mess with it until then. I'm hopeful that I can turn on/ff TV / soundbar, etc. and change channels / apps. Time will tell.
