  1. Rojo Jr called a little panicked earlier, then texted me 10 minutes later it was a false alarm. On another note, the high there today is 66 degrees, which might be worth the risk
  2. Ascension Bay Lodge in Punta Allen Mexico. Just jumped out for the pic. A lot easier to deal with those fish in shallow water. They can't dive under the boat, and the guide can walk with them and cut them off so they don't get far away once you get them close the first time.
  3. GR Corolla or just a Corolla with a body kit? The GR Corolla looks like a blast to drive. 300 HP out of a 3 cyl turbo with a manual and AWD. A kid in my neighborhood has one and it sounds killer. I don’t know if he’s got aftermarket exhaust or stock, but it sounds like an LS and a 3 rotor rotary had a baby.
  4. Spent a week Permit fishing in Mexico at the beginning of August. Permit fishing was tough, but I caught 7 Tarpon between 35 and 100 pounds. The big one whipped my ass. Fought for an hour and forty five minutes on a 10 wt. Dumped most of my backing twice, leadered the fish 4 times, but never got a hand on it. Finally broke it off after it abraided the 80 lb shock tippet as I was trying to turn its head near the boat for the 5th time. Broke it off almost a mile from where I hooked it in about 40 ft of water. I did manage one small Permit.
  5. Ha! This will be one of those escalatory charges they use subjectively to fuck the browns. Get pulled over with a gun? Well, I don't like it but you're not a felon and we live in an open carry state, so...What's that? There was half a joint in his ashtray? 20 years, no parole!!!
  6. Don't laugh. After dropping Rojo Jr off in Fayetteville last Wednesday, I drove home, packed up Little Roja (his twin sister) and moved her into her off-campus apartment in that humid hellscape of strip malls and knock off fast food restaurants. To say the difference is stark would be an understatement.
  7. I stayed in an AirB&B right by their campus a couple years ago. Rojo Jr looked into it, but they didn't offer the specific CS program he was interested in, and IIRC it was still kind of spendy for OOS. I'd also be afraid he'd never, ever go to class in that beautiful a place.
  8. Is it hard to blow a guy with a catheter?
  9. Jr is in Walton and got resident reserved parking in the stadium garage right next door. Football is going to be interesting for him, because his bed might literally be 100 ft from the stadium. This was taken from right outside his dorm room.
  10. Close...it lets him park his actual dorm.
  11. Jesus, Rojo Jr's parking pass at Arkansas was $980.
  12. Because the Daily Signal probably got it from a Russian troll farm with orders on when and how to post it.
  13. Still in 31 by a matter of feet.
  14. Looking at it again, I'll have to wait and see a more granular map. I'm in that area north of 1431 and East of 734 (Parmer/Ronald Reagan). I'm in the Georgetown ETJ, and it's going to depend on what road forms that eastern boundary. I might still be in 31 by a matter of feet.
  15. I guess if there's a bright side for me, I'll no longer be represented by the corpse of John Carter. Let me see who represents TX17....Ah, shit.
  16. Rec Center? Sounds like a socialist education center. We'll be pulling the funding for that anyway, so no big loss.
  17. Well, got the word yesterday Rojo Jr's 328 was totaled by the storms. Passenger side flooded so bad there was an empty water bottle floating in the back floorboard. Adjuster said a common issue on them is the sunroof drains will back up and a big storm like that will flood the interior. Starting to look for a replacement. Found a 1 owner 2015 M235 he's fallen in love with. All service done by BMW, just had oil pan and valve cover gaskets replaced. Says he's never had VANOS issues, which makes me nervous, but he has all the BMW service records. Also has 2 years of powertrain warranty and a couple years of pre-paid maintenance left.
  18. Vietnamese? Might belong in the Leopards thread.
  19. Shooting a bunch of his former supporters would be a fitting end to MAGA.
  20. I swear to god this is what people mean when they say Democrats can't get out of their own way. One thing NOT lacking in the party is secular voices. What IS lacking is a voice that tells evangelicals that might be having issues reconciling the teachings of Christ with the political movement that's joined at the hip to their church that it's okay to vote for democrats. He's making a theologically sound pitch, chapter and verse, to the largest conservative religious denomination in Texas in a more effective way than anyone I've ever seen. Maybe it will work and maybe it won't, but being rude and snarky and trying to shame them hasn't worked out at all
  21. "So, tell me where you got the gunshot wound?"
