Hunting ‘23/‘24: Bag ‘em and Tag ‘em
Can confirm yes, we most certainly do. Had a short day at work Friday, so took the opportunity to head up to the lease for the first time since New Years. Saw a big ass gobbler just chilling under the feeder at the first stand I drove up to check on. Turkey tracks all over the place near the watering hole (that actually had standing water for the first time in 2 years), and could hear a large pack warbling at each other in the woods near the camphouse around sunset. Productive quick trip as I cleared out about 50 lbs of long expired/freezer burnt crap out of the fridge and pantry. Explored some of the more remote parts of the property and think I found a good location for the new stand my Dad is currently building. Gotta get back out there before too long with some of the other guys for a proper work weekend. Aside from setting up the new stand, need to do some brush clearing and cleaning and put up a new feeder at one of the older stands that is still serviceable. That would put us at 4 huntable stands for November '24 season. Would like to have all 4 up and running so we can start running the feeders around Labor Day.

New Houston Restaurant Recommendations
I guess "early in the week" competition is really heating up. Has anyone else noticed tons of Taco Tuesdays/Steak Nights/Half Price Fajitas popping up lately? Seems like every other post in Heights Foodies group is about a new Tuesday or Wednesday night special.

2024 Crawfish Season (or lack thereof)
Prices gradually started to come down over the last few weeks, but are spiking crazy high again for Easter weekend. One place I keep an eye on went from like $4/lb on Monday to damn near $7 this coming weekend. Lot of places not even taking reservations.

Consumer sentiment at highest level in 3 years. Inflation expectations drop back below 3% For the first time in 4 years, more people do not expect a recession than do.

Haven't checked yet, do I still need to pay way too much money a month to have Fubo to watch Astros?

FMOC kept expectations at 3 rate cuts in 2024. They also significantly raised their GDP forecast for 2024 (1.4%->2.1%) while only modestly raising their Core PCE forecast (2.4%->2.6%). Stonks to the moon.- Markets still falling like whoa
New ATH for the S&P today at 5178. DJIA (39,110) and Nasdaq (16,166) both back to within 0.5% of their previous ATH.- Houston Astros off-season thread

On the other hand, GOP folks keep crowing that we WERE energy independent under Trump (based on the same "net exporter" metric) but that Biden has crippled it. Trump lately has been dusting off the "we're gonna drill, baby, drill" line as one of the top priorities in his 2nd term. All of which is pretty fucking dumb given current production levels and import/export numbers. By and large, people outside the industry, both on the left and right, have absolutely no idea what they are talking about when mixing politics and O&G.- The Guitar Pron Thread

Silly new guitar day for me yesterday. I now have a dedicated "80's shredder." Jackson DKAM (Transparent Red) delivered yesterday. Been learning a bunch of cheesy 80's hair metal solos lately. Style of playing definitely calls for 24 frets and a double locking Floyd Rose. Maple fretboard plays quicker than the Pau Ferro on my PRS and the jumbo frets make for cleaner tapping.- Hey Oil Barons.......
Seems highly likely that today will mark the first close for WTI above $80 since early November. Currently up $1.50 to $81.25 this morning.- Hey Oil Barons.......

Looking for a new Astros hat for the season but coming up blank so far on what I want. Does anyone make a navy hat like this with the 80's logo and a white or orange rope?- Time change
Never bothered me much as a younger man, but I've noticed the past 2 or 3 years that it takes me a solid week to get adjusted. Sleep has been all kinds of fucked up the past 3 nights. - Markets still falling like whoa
