Just seeing this thread, Brisket. I’m very sorry to hear of your loss. Your dad sounds like a wonderful man who I would have loved to have met…and of course, go on a fishing trip with. I lost my dad (who adopted me when I was fifteen) in 2020. They were of similar age and those guys of that vintage had to persevere through a lot in life - not many like them anymore. I’m immensely grateful that my dad chose my mom and me. I have no idea where I’d be in my life if he had arrived just at the right time. I hope you get out to the Llano soon and have a full weekend of wading around, fishing, eating a Big Chop, listening to classic country, and thinking of memories. The tears will subside in time and will be replaced with laughs and joy. Trust me. We will see them again, no doubt in my mind. 1 John 4:8 Psalms 126 Revelations 21:3-5

Just finished Annals of the Former World, John McPhee’s Pulitzer Prize winning collection of five books on the geology of North America. While sounding dry as toast, it is very readable. Simply amazing history of our world, along with biographies of impactful geologists who contributed greatly to knowledge of North America’s Deep Time. The middle book, Rising from the Plains, about Wyoming geology and Dr. David Love were my personal favorite. David Love, and especially his parents, led lives that few of us can even imagine.

I’ve been wanting to cook them since my son and I had our first in Leakey a few years ago while we were on a fishing trip to the Nueces and Frio. It was much easier than I expected - I mashed out two roughly 1/4lb hamburger patties in a rectangular shape, layered with diced fresh jalapenos with grated Colby/Jack cheese. Also, I had some shallots on hand and diced those up as well. Covered first patty and diced japs/shallots/cheese with second patty and pressed and sealed them together and threw them on the grill. Served with some brown gravy and mashed potatoes. Definitely doing it again soon.

I’m a long way from the Frio and Medina valleys these days but recently had a craving for southwest Texas-style pepper steak. Poor pic but damn was it good. This dish needs more love: https://texashighways.com/food-drink/what-the-heck-is-pepper-steak/

Pertaining to the mention of Big Bend Ranch SP, i thought I’d post the following Texas Monthly article from over twenty years ago written by the author of Empire of the Summer Moon. One of the finest essays I’ve come across: https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/conversations-with-a-grasshopper/ -

Yep. Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: “I think I've been in the top 5% of my age cohort all my life in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I've underestimated it. And never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes my limit a little farther.” - Charlie Munger

While I do not possess PhD level math and physics knowledge, my bullshit detector is of a fairly high order. I think this is Sundar trying to goose his stock price.

Any chip industry or CS guys want to comment on Google’s Willow chip announced today: https://blog.google/technology/research/google-willow-quantum-chip/ I’m trying to make sense of the ‘breakthrough’ as lots of small guys are fawning over announcement and a few taking exception. Any opinions or analysis?

Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow

Thought some of you guys might want this - Llano River trout stocking dates. I used to love Dec and January days out on the Llano in years past, as I had the whole river to myself and lots of fish about ten years ago. I’ve heard the locals have started to take a lot of fish after the first few days. Hopefully it’s still good for a few weeks after stocking date. -
I jumped on the thread this morning as I just had Tommy Alverson passed away over the weekend from cancer. I always liked his music: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/tommy-alverson-death-obituary-texas-country-singer-fort-worth/287-67fa3a4f-f9a0-41cc-b07d-dbf87e8824ab

Speaking of Guy Clark, the album Best of the Dualtone Years has become one of my all-time favorite albums:

Good dad! That’s awesome! I’m big fan of Ross Reels (and Scott Rods too) and have #1-#4 of original Gunnisons, plus my personal go-tos - original San Miguel #2 and #3. First rule of fly fishing - you can’t have too much equipment or gadgets.
