  1. So far so good. Cool footage and high quality. spoiler - they go to the moon.
  2. Man, I’m happy to hear it. I’ve stayed at a few 4S and never had a bad anything. Even Houston - which I think is not the greatest, is good enough for me.
  3. What is the nicest hotel in Vegas? The hotel where the amenities and service just outpace all the rest? if there is a grouping of hotels at the top, which has a pool where I can enjoy a mild scene - not a jersey shore reunion?
  4. Good start but to succeed you need glows and grows so, listen up. 1. Get new shirts. 2. Guy on the pedestal needs to not skip leg day anymore. 3. What’s the cleat/belowdecks line coming out right behind the traveler? That’s a weird spot for a control line. 4. Need pictures of the owner’s wife. thats all for now.
  5. G650 - the Main is on a halyard lock so all luff tension control is done at the clew, correct? Do you still call that Cunningham or is there some new cooler word like ... downhaul?
  6. Somebody at quantum or dimension polyant or whoever missed a really cool marketing opportunity here. ”if you liked Dacron, you’re going to love... Blackron!”
  7. One day when I'm part of your travelling squad, you're going to benefit from this interaction. I won't have to ask any questions - I'll just seamlessly integrate. Carry on.
  8. Texarkana is up here like Pluto - it’s so far out you can’t tell if it’s a planet or not.
  9. It looks really good. It makes that blue leadmine look really sad. Since I’m a fucking know-it-all I’m going to continue with the questions. why assemble mast on deck and not on ground? Seems easier.
  10. With no mast and halfway to Bermuda, they still beat your boat in. Where the hell is that thing? Are you a victim of a scam?
  11. Breaking that low - probably not a “cotex forgot to ease the runner” situation. Any report on the cause? Backstay or something fail?
  12. I was guessing the price for some cheap middle east knock-off shit, not American made. For some quality American made carbon work, 4-6 sounds about right.
  13. I’ve got this weird feeling - like if I went - it could go one of two ways: would I be the lawyer Character from fear and loathing in Las Vegas, or the Toby McGuire hitchhiker? damn this is intriguing.
  14. So what is that? 100k for a new stick and that again for some sails? does the manufacturer ever cut you a break if it’s a defective (whatever part) or - shit happens - pay up? How far out/down? whats their plan? Rig up something and downwind it wherever, or locate some fuel and slow motor?
  15. CoTex

    RIP Bushwick Bill

    And Scarface gon’ run for city council. https://theboxhouston.com/9836602/scarface-announces-run-for-houston-city-council/
  16. I’ll spot you that my memories of that time are imperfect, but I was dating my now wife in 2001, which means many of the shenanigans had curtailed and I was focused on grad school. i would wager that KL on the drag was open by 12/31/00.
  17. I think I would have a lifelong hatred for the Germans and Japanese if I had fought through this war.
  18. I got you. can you leave work on Thursday at 5, go to the District to drink tequila with nurses, break up a fight between your boss and Leslie, go to kerbey lane on the drag, watch your boss puke in your truck, make out with a nurse on the bench outside while you wait for your table, eat, drive your boss home at reata on 183 and then take the nurse home in south Austin for fun and games? No, you cannot. too Much fucking traffic. It’s not the same. Trust me.
  19. Just wait boys. #nextyear.
  20. /csb I met shelby’s 7th wife “cleo.”
  21. How is the keel secured? Slide it in the hole and then bolt some plate to the top of it, or does the fin go in top down and then bolt bulb on? do you have to fair it every time or does it just fit really well? When’s the first race?
  22. You're a patient dude. I would be doing more than tracking the shipper online. The boat looks perfect. How long until assembly?
  23. I like that one poor bastard - the last one on port tack right next to the mark. There’s nothing more fun than working your ass off for the entire beat, and then ducking the entire fleet because ... It’s better in dinghies because you can just bumper boat your way in there and pray. These 52’s don’t bumper boat as well. g650, where’s your new ride?
  24. Damn, first you misread my post, and then you call out Grenada Tech. This cannot stand. I said "high wealth - trust and tax planned - client" meaning someone that was high wealth, and had their shit PLANNED. I did not intend to discuss planning, but it is definitely cleaner than probate, but where's the fun in a desk-jockey practice. Question, for those of us that went to Grenada Tech, how do you exclude the under 10MM NW clients from your practice? TwiceHorn wants to know too, I"m sure.
  25. Disagree in part. Not all probate is equal. There's the high wealth - trust and tax planned - client and that work is pretty clean and lucrative. Then there's the "I want daddy's bass boat" crowd that will make you scratch your head. I think you inadvertently over-generalized and I just thought I should point it out. Carry on now.
