  1. Sorry for partying. But yeah, it seems wild out there this year. Our marina has the Travis County Sheriff boats which seems to keep things reasonable, but people are leaving the Gar pretty much falling down drunk every time we are there. And lots of morons in rental boats going full speed up the wrong side of the lake.
  2. Whistle Pig and Booker’s for $12 and Basil Hayden for $14? Ooook.
  3. I wouldn’t bother if you have kids. Boats that are heavily listed with balllast bags all over the seats and floor are the opposite of family friendly. What you want to do is find a (generally, brand dependent) ‘14/‘15 or newer 22’ boat from Axis, MB or Moomba with a gate/tab system plus enough factory hard tank ballast for a kid to surf. Most of these boats will have plumbed in soft bags or it will be plug n play to add them. Cost should run you mid $40s to high $50s and it’s a great price range for resale. And you should definitely do this, I’m already at 27 days on the lake this year in our ‘15 MB Sports Tomcat and my 10 and 11 y/o boys are surfing like mad without the rope. Our 21’ bowrider was a great start but can’t hold a candle to the fun of a tow/surf boat.
  4. It was stacked up 5 bottles deep at the specs off 35 in New Braunfels.
  5. Found an EH Taylor single barrel at specs new braunfels today, giving it a try while watching the CWS tonight. Pretty decent finish, but crazy boozy nose. Definitely not as good as the Blanton’s gold I illegally imported.
  6. Caught a huge (8 lbs maybe?) catfish on the fly last night going after pond bass. I’ve managed to catch a few smaller ones in creeks before but this was next level. Nearly jumped out of the water on the strike and pulled like a freight train on my 8wt. https://m.imgur.com/rNWPz2v
  7. Kneeboard for the little one, all three of mine learned at age five and I’ve gotten at least a dozen kids up on them without difficulty. Skis are hard, probably easier to get him up on a 124-128cm wakeboard.
  8. Not even sure how imgur links work on this, but here goes. https://m.imgur.com/l1WrCkI
  9. Too much trailer talk here. Went out in Travis for an evening surf session and there were maybe three boats in the bend under Lucy’s. That was our 22nd day on the water this year since buying the new MB. Boating really is the best.
  10. All Four Roses barrel picks are barrel strength. But the OBSQ I have is probably my favorite bourbon that I own, so hopefully that mash bill and yeast mix treats you right.
  11. Some of it is pretty good. I have an OLC store pick 9e 9 yr and it’s good if not great. Probably wouldn’t take it over a good Four Roses store pick for less money though. And all you Blanton’s fans should be buying Gold and SFTB from overseas. If you would contemplate spending $100 for regular single barrel the Gold will blow your mind for less money.
