  1. Probably Paxlovid. Mom has now had another round of everything. Another steroid shot and she’s feeling better. Shes basically 3 weeks in now. Her primary care doc wanted to leave it alone, but he wasn’t there yesterday so the other doc gave her hydroxchloroquine. I’m a little bit pissed.
  2. I did find this from on old link on 2coolfishing. This looks to be the best bet by far if they are still in business. http://www.texasbluewatersafaris.com/
  3. I would pay good money to watch him try to keep a decent sized one out of an oil rig. It’s hard enough using a boat to winch one out on 80 pound tackle. I don’t know anyone out of Port A that spear fish charters. You might try Freeport or South Padre and I doubt grouper is a target species.
  4. There are 30 other options I would try before going back to Grumbles. You were correct, it’s meh. With a view.
  5. L.O.L. In my current “circle” of 7 cases, exactly 0 have been reported. And 5/7 wouldn’t have even tested but they knew they were exposed for a lengthy time and had minor symptoms. This shit is everywhere right now. 4 clusters in my circle - one in Dallas, one in Austin, one San Antonio, one Port A in the last month. Also I don’t think 5 days out means you are out of the woods yet. The good news is for pretty much everyone this strain is really, really mild.
  6. So since May 14th I’ve had 27 days of Covid positive people (including myself) in my house. Somehow my girlfriend isn’t getting it - yet- despite being here that whole time. And as best we can tell none of us has given it to anyone else in the house. Weird virus.
  7. I’m in Covid hell. Upthread I mentioned dad got it we think at a convention in Austin. Came to visit down here in Port A and got sick and I kept him here for 2 weeks. A week after he left I got it I’m guessing from someone in a bar. At the same time my mom who I haven’t seen in 2 months got it, pretty sure that was a 2 hour car ride she had with a lady that tested positive the next day. She lives in San Antonio. So a week after I’m over it my girlfriend’s kids come down from Dallas. 2nd day they are here her son isn’t feeling good. Next day he has a sore throat and chills get him a Covid test and of course it’s positive. 10 hours later his girlfriend and her mom also pop positive. They were all in a car together on the drive down from Dallas for 8 hours. If you haven’t gotten this recent variant don’t get in a car with anyone. on the plus side, everyone has been very mild. 24-48 of a sore throat and chills and then nothing but tired. My mom was the only one worse than that but she has other health issues. 76 years old and way underweight in fact her doctor told her before Covid was a thing she needed to eat more because she would struggle to fight off a virus. She’s 20 days in now, got the monoclonal antibody and 3 other IV infusions and is much better now. Never had to go to the hospital. This shit is running through pretty much everyone I know. All over the state. All are vaxxed and only 1 of the above I mentioned have had it before, but most of us are newbies to Covid.
  8. Need to quote this again because this time of year you will not typically catch blackfin tuna, or any tuna unless you do an overnight charter 100 miles out. That was a badass 6 hour trip.
  9. Grumbles is nothing if not meh. Great location though and their shrimp tacos are good. Basically it’s yet another overpriced restaurant on the island. Go to Fins for that kind of food and it will be better. im not a huge fan of La playa but love their fajitas and margaritas. Have fun.
  10. That’s surprising on the black fin. Private charter? Never mind just saw you were on Let It Ride. Good peeps.
  11. Bernie’s still has some time left on their lease. Not sure exactly when they will be moving. Shorty’s is moving at the end of November.
  12. Gonna plug Bron’s Backyard on Avenue G across the street from Port A Pizzeria. What started as a golf cart rental and snow cone business now has food and a wine/beer bar. Live music a few nights a week and a ton of outdoor games. If you’ve got young kids it’s a great place to go hang out.
  13. Yeah they don’t give a shit. I’ve never been asked for any form of paperwork or ID there. Occasionally a hotel will ask to see your passport but that’s it. The worst thing that ever happened was when we were bringing in a cooler full of brisket and ribs. The dude took about 3/4 of our food. I guess his family was hungry.
  14. No. The 7 day daily average for the United States has been below 400 since mid April. It’s currently at 265.
  15. Mississippi Gulf Coast tournament was this weekend. Same boat won again for the third time in a row. They are doing something right. 763 pound blue and won over 600,000 dollars. Port A boat was 3rd in catch and release but won all the money because the boats that beat them weren’t in the big money pots. They won about 160,000.
  16. I’m always surprised y’all don’t like Bob more. his personality would fit right in here on Surly. He’s a Mizzou grad but both parents were Longhorns and he’s a huge fan. I spent the Vince USC game with him in LA the and the TJ Final 4 in New Orleans. Good times, and hey we were 1/2.
  17. Shit at this rate he may get 2 more.
  18. Where the fuck was that pitch?
  19. More runs please. ok that’ll work
  20. Might have a play? Yeah off the net
  21. We’ll I went to the bar - Shortys - at 3 thinking I’d be watching the game there. But yeah my pitch count is set back to 1 now that I’m home.
