  1. Doesn't Tyrion also tell Varys offscreen? Weak.
  2. That is the sister that threw hammer. I was confused. Great family. She's a buff, not an aggy. Probably married one though.
  3. I wouldn't have minded knowing her middle sister, if not for buddy complications. Note: See the previous comment edit. Wrong sister in that pic.
  4. I know her. The lady
  5. I've two more kids to agonize over. I'm sure at least one of them will end up elsewhere, but I will remain hopeful.
  6. Congratulations. My son is finishing up his freshman year up there right now. He's at Moody. It's a good feeling knowing they've established a solid floor to build from by attending UT. My nephew had a full ride to Alabama to get his Chem Eng and MBA in 5. He's finishing his MBA in May but already has accepted a job for over 6 figures. He'll be a technical sales engineer. Good degree for your son and at a much better school.
  7. never mind
  8. Needs a follow up and tie in to the new DFig activity.
  9. Speaking of, one of those Dfig lists (only one I checked) has two subscribers. AggyMatt is one.
  10. I wise man on surly once said, "No one theoretically dominates like Texas A&M". or was it hypothetically. I want to remember correctly because it's so perfectly summative, insightful and succinct it should be in Proverbs.
  11. I think it's high time we put Daniel Figurelli in his place....again. He's getting a little too bold on twitter. Making lists and adding twitter users to the lists. I see he has a list of racist "t-sips".
  12. Hadn't heard of the eyeworm issue. Dad dragged me to a quail management seminar when I was a kid. It was really interesting. They have their needs of which we can provide a few like edge habitat, cover, open forage, seed grasses, but the most important thing is rain. But not too much rain and it needs to happen at the right time of the year..
  13. You misspelled brain ache.
  14. I have no problem with the fact that I'm being a baby about it. Dad now lives on 200 acres that borders the King Ranch but there just isn't much there and what is there his wife has named. compared to some of the places I grew up hunting (17,000 acres in Mexico, Callaghan ranch, some of Briscoe's stuff) it doesn't get my interest up....and there are zero quail. Maybe someday.
  15. Sort of depend on how long you'll be gone. For a few days to a week you might be able to leave them alone but you'll need a large volume or auto-waterer and you can probably leave enough food provided nothing else can get to it and the chickens can't screw it up somehow. I have neighbors that are usually tickled pink to come take care of them. They keep any eggs laid of course.
  16. Trial and error can be as effective as "build it with science". My dad used to hunt in Alaska a bit when I was a kid (never took me) He bought a 7mm magnum for those hunts. I never liked that gun. My first rifle was his .243. It was a pretty good rifle. We have a newer (to us) 30-06 that I haven't had a chance to use. My dad is too old to hunt much anymore and I'm married to someone that doesn't value land ownership or hunting leases.
  17. Yup. Love it!
  18. In my teens I killed a couple of elk with my .270. One at 400-ish yards. It's easily the favorite rifle in my family's collection. Years ago my dad dropped it out of a blind and broke the stock. He replaced it with a solid oak stock that is pretty hefty but steady AF if you have a rest.
  19. I hiked about as high as you could get on that iteration of Pacaya. There was a huge slope of scoria cinders between us and the top. The very last part beneath the crater looked like a legit mountain climb it was so steep. My sister lives down there and her kids have gone up Fuego. One of her boys had his birthday on pacaya where they roasted dogs and marshmallows over lava on really long sticks
  20. Tikal is really great but if you arrive after dark, don't leave the door to your room open while you bring your bags in or don't turn the lights on. We ended up with so many bugs in our room I'm not sure how the Mrs managed to hold it together. Probably trying to maintain composure for the benefit of our 4 year old daughter who was flipping her shit. I mean there were bugs everywhere...thousands. The next morning the maids flipped my sister mattress next door and there was one of those big, scorpions underneath it. Do the sunrise tour of course. Sitting atop a temple watching the mist rising off the waking jungle hearing the Howler monkeys weird calls is a unique experience. The food was surprisingly good at the Tikal Inn. There's a pool. Panajachel is derisively called Gringotenango because of all the American tourist that come through. The lake is gorgeous. Antigua is one of my favorite places in the world. You might be able to line up a hike to the top of one of the active volcanos like Fuego or Pacaya and roast some hotdogs for cooling lava. If you want to get off the beaten path (aside from Tikal or mule packing into El Mirador) and would like to see a little more Mayan culture get up into the highlands.
  21. Oh! Orwell, not a Keystone Species reference...
  22. Starfish and sea otters?
  23. We all thought Gore was the robot, but Bush sounded like he was shorting out.
  24. "exquisite sex and wholesome violence". I completely forgot about that.
  25. Doesn't happen very often but I am occasionally mean to myself and punish myself by lurking in the political board. There is no reason to participate in there since many of the posters, and we all know who I'm talking about, live in a contrived world and there is no sense arguing with someone who lives on their own make-believe planet.
