  1. Sark gon' get a raise ... and it wouldn't be surprising at all to me if this rumor was leaked with very intentional, disruptive timing.
  2. Noice. My main goal sports-wise is to continue MTBing, skiing, & snowboarding, and start playing beach volleyball again, which I used to play 3-4 times a week but haven't been able to at all for years due to the hip (except for some occasional rallying).
  3. 3 month update: Just finished rehab. Did it all at home via the Force Therapeutics app (which I think the practice owns). They gave me a referral for therapy outside the home - if I felt like I needed it. I never used it. Just did the exercises in the videos on the app, per their plan. The exercises changed every couple of weeks. My surgical hip already feels great and is noticeably better off now than the right other hip. No pain. No pain. No pain. Far better range of motion than before. I walk normally now, no limping. I can squat deeper and easier now than I could for years, and without favoring a side. Starting to feel like I can run again, mountain bike, etc. Hip feels brand new. If you have a painful hip and are a candidate for replacement but aren't quite sure yet that you wanna do it, based on my experiences, I say find a good doctor and do it if you can. Life's too short to be limited, limping around, not doing the things you want and/or need to do, being in pain much of the time. Now, not to be outdone, Mrs. Wood (no pics) is going in tomorrow for knee replacement surgery.
  4. They were both little bitches and both had good points at times. You talking about the Senna doc film or the series? The Senna film was good, but was very slanted in Senna's favor and paints it all one way. Senna's way. I haven't seen the series. I met and got to talk quite a bit with the doc's director Asif Kapadia here in Austin at the world premier at the Paramount. Good guy, but a massive Senna fanboi, and it really shows in the movie. In the movie, Senna could do no wrong, and everything was the fault of evil Prost. It's bullshit.
  5. As Glen Lietzke used to tell us all the time, "No pass, no play". And we saw that play out on the court ad nauseum this season, so yeah, huge acquisition. Even better if we land Stafford.
  6. Yeah and it's a shame because COTA's track is actually not bad at all once you get away from all the dumbasses that don't have a clue how to drive it. I wonder what the Andretti place in SA is like. Anyone been?
  7. Ten times? JFC. How far did he travel?
  8. So, anyone hear anything about those crazy terrorist incidents in New Orleans & Vegas?
  9. Oh, by all means ... please dismiss it!
  10. Seriously, this. Ssome of the best red beans & rice I've ever eaten anywhere, including some damn good cajun restaurants in Tx & La, but yeah, pretty much every time I've eaten it, I got a migraine by the end of the day.
  11. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-tower-las-vegas-cybertruck-explosion-fire/
  12. Not verified, but I just read on another board that the Vegas guy's record said he specialized in remote detonations. So why not detonate remotely? He was home on leave. In Vegas. Maybe drunk?
  13. Same thread with an updated title might be the way to go imho.
  14. Apparently the truck bed contained multiple containers of fuel and some 'large fireworks'. I knew that explosion was too big to just be fireworks. I guess he was using them to detonate the fuel cans? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz7qd97eyp0o
  15. Yeah I'm ok with Jesse. Compared to a great many announcers out there, he's aight, imho.
  16. Tessitore is fucking horribad.
  17. Yep. I still don't like the guy, but he had a great game.
  18. Fuck Mack Brown.
  19. New Orleans: Rented F-150 Lightning electric pickup Vegas: Rented Tesla electric pickup Related, or a coincidence? Who knows ...
  20. New Orleans: Rented F-150 Lightning electric pickup Vegas: Rented Tesla electric pickup Both rented on Turo. Related, or a coincidence? Who knows?
