  1. My pledge class in spring of 97 had to go on this wild road trip scavenger hunt. One of the missions was to break into the Aggie stadium and piss on the goal post. Mission accomplished.
  2. Have you seen A Perfect Getaway with Zahn and Olyphant? It's pretty awesome.
  3. Zahn got Justified
  4. Steve Zahn to join the cast for S3. https://www.thewrap.com/steve-zahn-the-righteous-gemstones-season-3-cast/
  5. Now that’s funny right there. I once told a guy that I have owed him a whooping for a while.(early 20s insults that had not been responded to). He said “any time buddy”. I calmly set my drink down and punched him in the face.
  6. I’ve never heard the words trench and silo together before. I always thought a silo was a vertical cylinder storage container for grain or missiles.
  7. The Contractor was a fun rental last night. It has the potential to be a Borne type trilogy.
  8. I listened to it without any prior knowledge. The way he arrives at his points and instructions make them much more valuable. Don't worry about the control part. He addresses that.
  9. Yes I have always been an extrovert, but fuled by alcohol. I'm trying to figure out how to be funny and engaging while sober, which is tough. Other work stuff is already getting better though. Several people engaged my after my speech and I have 4 new sales leads to work on. I guess I did better than I thought. It's all mental.
  10. All alcohol of all types is poison. It gives you nothing, and takes away everything. Whatever cravings or other thoughts you have about drinking are caused by alcohol (not personal flaws). It also caused all of the pain and problems that you have experienced. Whenever you think drinking might help you in some way, realize it will not. I just had to give a short speech at work. It was the first time in a long time I have done that sober. I didn't do as well as the last time when I had several shots to warm up. My voice felt shaky and I don't think I came off very "cool". My wife was in the audience, and she said that I did great, just like always. I sat down feeling super shaky and disappointed in myself. I thought a drink would help smooth this out. I really wanted a drink! I pushed through and kept telling myself that the drink is poison. It will ruin my afternoon and probably tomorrow. Alcohol caused this problem and it is not going to make it better by drinking poison again. Then I remembered that I had been drinking so much up until Monday that I had chronic stomach pains, bad ones. That pushed the thought of drinking even further away.
  11. I just finished Allen Carr's audio book "The Easy Way to Control Alcohol" on Monday. I really like the message and approach. I haven't had a day without (a lot of) alcohol in years. I had my first sober day yesterday and I feel really good about the future. I'm listening to it again througout the day to help the lessons to really sink in.
  12. This isn’t at the Bullock? That’s a mistake.

    There were about 30 ahead of us. They opened the doors about 40 minutes early. I’m sure the people who got there later were surprised to find no line but a packed house.
  17. I have this recurring black mold/algae problem. The chip out will get the roots out of the pebble/plaster, but I'm worried about spores in my plumbing and equipment. How do you sanitize the equipment? Also, don't fuck around on this black algae, it will give you maintenance and financial nightmares.
  18. There is a guy from Anthony & Sylvan Pools on my porch writing up a bid to refinish my pool right now. Expecting $15k. I think the scope will be : 1. Full chip-out of existing pebble finish 2. Keep the mosaic tile 3. New micro-pebble finish sanded smooth (so it doesn't snag my wife's swimsuite bottoms, that was her only request, but I said just don't wear bottoms, haha) 4. Some stone and grout repair.

    I sat top row center at BB imax last night and it was great. Perfect spot. I dressed as Goose. There was a dude that wore a Maverick fighter pilot helmet and flight suit. I think he kept the helmet on through the whole movie. That's a waste, because BBimax audio is stellar.
  22. All of my window and glass guys are saying 10 weeks back order due to a glass shortage. If you can find someone that will do it now for $350, just go for it.
  23. We should probably move this to hobbies or nerdz, but look what I still have from my childhood
