  1. took the doe I shot opening day to Longhorn Smokehouse in Manvel for boudin. Had some this weekend at the ranch and it was a big hit all around. Highly recommended if you're local to Houston. They also turned it around in less than a week.
  2. this is the first year in a long time I haven't made eggnog for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mrs. Laz and I have, as a result, been doing our own ad-hoc Nogsmas across Houston. So far, we've nogged at Nonno's, Julep, BLT, and Lei Low. BLT has the best traditional nog. Thick and boozy. Available to go for $38/bottle and suitable for aging. We brought one home for when we need a fix Nonno's and Julep were both good, if a little thin for my liking. Julep's Christmas wonderland decor is worth visiting it if you're into that kind of thing. Lei Low in a class of its own. They have the Coquito as per usual, but this year they've added the Coconog Flip, which was amazing. A boozy christmas milkshake. 10/10 would smash again. Mahalo
  3. I'm currently enjoying David Donnelly in the Bodyguard, also on Netflix
  4. you didn't tell me you were a weirding woman
  5. This dude pulled in while I was picking up my boudin from Lonestar Smokehouse in Manvel. Had a nice truck too. Busy weekend at wherever
  6. Holosun 507c needs to be incoming
  7. Watched that shortly after the "Attack on Hard Rock" during the Copa America final. I am a pretty big soccer fan, and I didn't remember anything about Wembley. Interesting parallels, these
  8. this is a good one also check out Generasian Radio https://www.youtube.com/@GenerasianRadio
  9. Avett Brothers last night at Smart Financial Center in Sugar Land. First time to that venue and I was impressed. Tickets were center stage in the very back row and the sound was fantastic. One of the best TAB shows we've seen. Going to NYC to see Swept Away next month...
  10. I think I got most of that through teh aids. I was planning on buying the vanguard-specific rings from Talley. Are you saying don't do that?
  11. Swaro z3 3-10 x 42. It's going on a WB vanguard .308. Carters Country has the Leupold VX3 3-10.5 for $399 until 11/2, so I have been waffling back and forth between that, trijicon huron/credo/accupoint, and the swaro. They had Zeiss V4 for $650 recently but that sale expired last week. Kind of stuck in analysis paralysis as to eye relief, bolt handle clearance on the eyepiece, ring height right now. I figure the swaro is right about 1:1 on the rifle/optic ratio, so might as well. This will primarily be a whitetail and hog rifle with shots within 200 yards, so I want something simple and don't need to mess with dialing on this rig.
  12. I think I've seen it mentioned upthread, but who do we like for gunsmithery in Houston? I'm thinking about getting a little spendy on an optic for new deer rifle and if so, would be looking to get it professionally mounted. I've done my other scopes myself with a plastic level and flashlight-though-objective technique, but I want this one done proper like.
  13. I've got a sightmark wraith that was around $400 I think? I've taken it out a few times and it is good out to about 100 yds with the stock IR illuminator. It would be better with an upgraded illuminator like the coyote cannon or similar. I didn't want to make the full thermal investment for as little as I am able to get out at night, and so far it's served its purpose. It's a bit of a pain to have to deal with the separate illuminator, and follow up shots are impossible as the smoke from the shot reflects the IR and washes out the picture. With a little more in the budget, I'd go thermal, especially as the prices continue to come down
  14. best option is fly into LGA, uber to White Bear in Flushing for ~$15, crush two orders of Szechuan wontons, LIRR to Penn $11
  15. a lot of these shows can be found on the sub channels for OTA HD broadcasts. Was just enjoying some Fall Guy on 2-2 in Houston the other day. You'll need rabbit ears...and a TV guide
  16. curious to know your thoughts on Dan Wesson
  17. A&P Pawn on Westheimer in Houston is your place for vintage Marantz
  18. I'd like to thank whoever it was that recently celebrated the Ruger Mark IV because that was the final push needed to acquire a Mark IV Target and top it with a Holosun 507c. Initial range reports are highly encouraging, and the RDS appears to be just what my left-eye dominance needed. Looking forward to ringing steel this weekend
  19. Now that it's streaming on HBO, I watched last week. Agree with what others have said that Costner's trying to do too much and it probably would have been better structured as a series. That said, solid effort. Nowhere near as bad as some have said. Some beautiful cinematography. Overall, I enjoyed it and am looking forward to Chapter 2.
  20. It's like this city never runs out of stupid ideas Co-signed. except on the rare occasion when the termites swarm, but then you just move inside.
