  1. I'm back in TX now...at my Dad's up at Medina Lake. But, I'll be home tomorrow. I'll check around town and see how it is on NPI. I know Boathouse is open.
  2. I'm visiting my Dad out in Lakehills this weekend. Went and had Jacala (off West Ave) for dinner. Great as usual. Had to drive by the house my Dad grew up in, about 3 blocks away. Brought back memories of visiting my grandma when I was a kid in the 70s. Pretty run down now, though. BTW, if y'all get out to Lakehills, the 4 Way Grill has really good burgers and La Cabana is pretty good Tex Mex.
  3. Oh.... I thought you were describing the 2 weeks I just spent in Port Mansfield where the fucking mosquitoes outnumbered the population of China and India combined.
  4. Could be. Hope not though, that would suck...
  5. They've been closing every Wednesday for awhile - talked to one of the managers there Monday. Mainly because of staffing issues.
  6. Weird...Haven't heard of any places on NPI with Covid problems. Went to Angry Marlin Thursday and it was packed. Went to Scuttlebutt's Monday and it was packed. I know all the restaurants on NPI have had issues getting employees, but nothing Covid related.
  7. I've got a guy on NPI that does snapper tours...PM me
  8. Yeah...my buddy has a spot out there too. Went on a "friends charter" - just paid gas and tipped his deck hand (who is a good guy). We dropped the lines and BAM just hauled them up. Actually got 2 on one hook...fish are stupid. But, they're also quite tasty.
  9. Well....shit. And I'm stuck down here in Port Mansfield/Harlingen for the next 2 weeks working.
  10. I flew the Emirates A380 Business Class several years ago. It was mind blowing. Especially having an actual bar with hot stewardesses to serve you. The seating was huge and comfortable and food was awesome. So, I go to book my next work trip on the Emirates to Singapore a few months later. It gets kicked back by travel since I was supposed to only book American flagged airlines due to the Fly America Act. I told them that's only for gov't funded programs and I was working on an IR&D one - so it should be ok. NOPE! Asshole wouldn't approve it. So, instead of having my company pay $4500 for A++ service on the Emirates A380 for me, I had to get American's B- service...for $11500. Fucking ridiculous.
  11. It's Red Flag on NPI...assume it's the same in Port A. Wish the tourists understood what that meant...it's NOT a just a warning on Red Flag days. So sad when this happens.
  12. @justhookit Meant to tag you so'd see this....
  13. So, is Shorty's moving? Or is it just closing down? If they're closing down I want to grab my uncle's and cousin's hats before they tear it down. It's a sentimental thing. We're all coming up that way Wednesday around 1300 to hang out and have a few drinks to celebrate them. And when I say, we're all, I'm going to have 20-30 people.
  14. @justhookit @horn4life I finally remembered to take a pic of how far the dunes are back after Hanna last summer. Before Hanna, the dunes were right up to that marker. Now you can drive behind it easily.
  15. Meh. People who GO to the beach leave a lot of trash behind. On NPI and Port A, it's really not practical to not let people drive/park on the beach. They'd have to remove a large amount of dune area to allow for parking. And hell, it's something like 10 miles from Access Rd 5 to Access Rd 6. People can't walk hauling their shit that far. The NPI/Port A beaches are different than many other beaches around the world. And I'd agree on those others. I go to St Martin every year. It's actually not practical to allow driving on their beaches, plus, there's easy access to them without driving on them.
  16. Have you been to Port A or NPI beaches? There are only a few access roads to get to them. And the beach is about a quarter mile from PR22 down those access roads on NPI. The dunes are there to protect the island and the mainland. The vehicles don't really cause much of a problem that any other beach doesn't have. It's PEOPLE congestion.
  17. I've tried to avoid leaving the house on NPI this weekend. Traffic is HORRIBAD on the island from the pics I've seen and reports from folks that were OTB. The causeway was backed up to Flour Bluff Rd yesterday according to a friend of mine. I do NOT want to see what the beaches on NPI or Port A look like.
  18. When I lived up in Weatherford, I'd drive down to see my folks at Medina Lake via SH16 through Fredricksburg. From San Saba to Fredricksburg, it's just beautiful. Then I'd take 87 to Comfort, I10 to 46 and head over to Pipe Creek then to Lakehills on the last leg to my folks. 46 to my folks house was always the best.
  19. I live on N Padre Island. If Port A was anything like today here, I pity everyone that was on the beach. And I didn't even go to the beach. I just drove to the IGA and it was an utter clusterfuck.
  20. We had breakfast at El Buen Pescador in Port Isabel last time I was down and it was pretty damn good.
  21. There is plenty of video evidence of masked morons bitching out non-masked people for not wearing masking. You don't even have to go looking for it. What's your point? People are assholes. Persons tend not to be...
  22. That's what I said...
  23. Can they declare the disaster ad infinitum?
  24. BTW... EVERYONE is FREE to wear a mask. There is no mandate to NOT wear one. Mask up to your heart's content!!! I don't care and neither does anyone else.
  25. Can you show me where these entities were granted the power to mandate masks? It has to be codified somewhere, right? Because, all the government entities are granted their powers from the state gov't in Texas...
