  1. Rangers butthurt or just general butthurt?
  2. Young, inexperienced and dumb. I like to think I would handle some things differently now.
  3. Yeah, no sympathy. But I think I can see how he got there. Could really avoid these issues but hasn’t figured out that skill set - he’s dumb and she’s crazy - so when he finds himself in this situation he uses coping skills that include abuse of influence and dishonesty. Why? Can’t control wife - at least try to limit the damage. Maybe he has a little bully in him - threatens cop with “we’ll pull over your guys when we get the chance of you don’t cut me slack.” This guy has a level 7 problem and only has level 3 problem solving skills. Like my dog with a Rubik’s cube.
  4. I have to assume this guy has tried to extract his wife from at least 350 jams, scrapes, pinches and binds. He has probably tried everything and his “I’m with the sheriff’s department” play had a success rate. Plan b is to try to outfox the guy with some wordplay. Her shenanigans cost him money. He probably has to lay out between $300 and $10,000 per month because she’s a kook. I predict she wrecks cars, breaks things, loses things and chugs a lot of whiskey. Add to that tickets, bail, lawyer and blonde hair dye. He’s just in cost savings mode trying to whittle his Saturday tab down however he can. He doesn’t seem like an overbearing guy - just dumb and trapped and probably tired of paying for her assholery.
  5. Had a crazy girlfriend once. there were some definite benefits to our relationship but the crazy was ever present and would erupt unpredictably. Had to bail. Took 6 months to get out of that deal - 5 months and 28 days longer than it should have. The first 9 minutes of this video triggered my PTSD from that time in my life. Didn’t even know I had PTSD until now.
  6. Great minds think alike. Throw red rock in there and watch them shit in their pants.
  7. "I demand that you refund my purchase price immediately or I will be left with no choice to litigate this matter, vigorously. Regards, Bevo."
  8. After an eventful night at the Houston rodeo (do they still have the hideout?) me and others went to Blanco’s to wind down. Ended up drinking with GPN at the bar while 2 of my friends, who were married at the time, made out on the stools next to us. They were not married to each other. I kept nudging them and saying things like “hey, I got GPN over here - stop fucking around.” They we’re undeterred. And, I can’t really tell that story in my circle of friends because… married people.
  9. I feel like there needs to be a revised statute of limitations on driving UI/WI. it goes like this in cases where no third party human is injured, unless the police catch or observe you in the act of driving, or within 10 minutes of driving, no crime. You may be civilly liable for property damage but if all you did was wreck your own shit and sit on the curb, police have to drive you home and tuck you in bed.
  10. I use a blender to make hollandaise sauce. Ain’t nobody got time to whisk all that mess. put all the ingredients except the butter (egg yolks lemon juice, maybe a bit of mustard) into blender and blend the hell out of it. Then heat butter until melted and almost browning - should be pretty hot. Turn on blender and pour in butter slowly. Et voila! If there is a speed record in Texas for making eggs Benedict, I likely hold it.
  11. Mosquito Coast. Paul Theroux.
  12. I think I’m going to pick up one of these but not sure which. There are different versions - chrono, pilot, etc. if I may ask - why did you choose that one? Pilot knob too big?
  13. I don't want to get too far over my skis here but, I'm confident in saying, had you taken me you would have definitely finished 1 in class and top 3 overall. I hope you learn from this mistake and don't repeat it. #crew2023!
  14. I grew up in corpus which is a windy place and I remember many many times breaking the boat. Sunfish boom, sunfish halyard cleat, laser mast, laser mast step rips out of deck, j/24 rudder, j/24 boom, j/22 rudder, etc. it got to the point where about 1/3 of the way through my excuse laden story my dad would just cut me off and say “yeah, yeah, yeah, you broke the boat, dnf.” He was making a valuable point - it wasn’t the boat’s fault that I didn’t grab a trophy. And…I fucking told you so. See post on previous page where I asked “what does “big storm coming,” mode look like? Reefs or small jib? Some of those storms can get up in the wind velocity range. Do you prep for bare pole and just ride it out or always racing?” so, since I have such a great sense of foretelling, how do I get on the boat for 2023 - the year of glorious victory?
  15. I’ve never had much success with that excuse. I usually resort to dishonesty thinking that any story, even a bull shit story, has to be better than “I was high.”
  16. 4S. Had dinner at Cap Juluca (Cips) and Quintessence. Wife and kids all agreed that each hotel had pros and cons but 4S was a pretty complete package.
  17. Just back from a week in Anguilla. Awesome place. Awesome hotels. Awesome people. Solid 20 degrees cooler than Texas is right now.
  18. Yep. Ball bearings. So G650 is going to race up a lake and travel 290 miles by sailboat. This is a huge sailing race that will get coverage in magazines and press. People travel from far off to participate and weird things happen. People win. People die (rarely). And I understand they party hard at the end. It may be hot and slow with very little wind or windy, foggy. Who knows? He’s taking a variety of sails to be prepared to haul ass in all conditions. He’s not taking a bunch of extraneous shit because weight is slow. Water, food and a small bag. History tells us some big ass storms roll across that lake and sometimes you have to decide “we racin, or we survivin’?” He says “we ain’t takin’ the sails down no matter what.” That’s because he’s got a lot of skill and can sail through almost anything.
  19. Today I’m renting a right side drive jeep in a left side drive country. Should be interesting.
  20. Looking good. Questions - what is the sail inventory like for this race? Main, jib, 3 kites? Do you hipsters switch through jibs anymore or is it all non-overlapping? 1 jib and 1 big ass code zero? what is the pack out per crew member? 1 small ass dry bag and it better weigh less than 10 pounds? Do you haul all your water or try to use the lake water? what does “big storm coming,” mode look like? Reefs or small jib? Some of those storms can get up in the wind velocity range. Do you prep for bare pole and just ride it out or always racing? Give it hell.
  21. In the Pat Green song SONGS ABOUT TEXAS he sings this stanza at the end ”Sing me one more song about those dusty plains. Them honkytonk angels and their lonely bee hive pain I wish I was stowed away on a fast movin train Im a going home.” Now, I know my way around honkytonk angels, but what the hell is lonely bee hive pain?
  22. I’ve never been a whiny bitch rageaholic loudmouth. At least I don’t think I have. Question - it seems like a large waste of energy and distraction. Anyone have any experience with this? Dude had his serve rolling and was on the path to victory but… headcase. It’s like he needs cheech from tin cup to take him out and get drunk or something.
  23. That woman is thinking … “you should add some japs (no racist) and pick up that taco like an adult and eat it instead of poking at it with that fork like some sort of weight watchers reject.” I can see it in her ojos.
