  1. I just used the recipe jj posted. Simmering now and I’ll dig in later but damn, that pepper blend tastes awesome.
  2. What type of bottles do you use? Just the regular grolsch style bottles? I think I want to try it this year.
  3. I Threw up after drinking beer once, but it was the bad food I ate, not the beer.
  4. Well, it was still ugly last week vs Baylor. Baylor seemed to get their 3rd downs any time they needed. 3 yards or 15 yards. Hoping to see some growth on offense and more discipline secondary vs. Kansas State.
  5. Started with full mask earlier this summer. I’m still a little inconsistent with it as I’m used to tolling over to my stomach and I tend to remove it. When I keep it on, my wife says that I’m almost completely silent.
  6. Agree. Embarrassing. Glad we won.
  7. I know that guy. No seriously, I know that guy. Sales Rep when I was selling back in the day.
  8. I put up a Beto sign in March. I was alone until about June. Now, there are at least 15 in my neighborhood ( which went red during the last election) and several more in the adjoining neighborhoods. Ted Cruz sign popped up yesterday a few houses down. I'm guessing the guy got sick of seeing Beto signs on 5 of the 6 houses leading up to mine as he drove in.
  9. Yeah. That sucked. Wouldn't have been any different if we hadn't lost our projected starting QB. Good for Herman. No issues with that guy. Might be a fun ride with him
  10. Ok. I apologize that I came across as an ass. Things happen. Glad all is ok. Scary to think about. Again. It all comes down down to having that respect for what COULD happen. You will be fine and enjoy it. My neighbor has a pool and my 5 year old loves to talk to him through the fence all the time. Today they invited us to use the pool anytime we want. I know my son heard that. The pool is fenced but our yards are open to each other. I know I'm going to have to continue to remind my adventurous son that that means "with us only". He can't reach the latch to get in, but that doesn't make me completely comfortable when they are out playing on their own.
  11. I don't get this. She witnessed it, but your daughter almost drowned and had to go by ambulance. ? Perhaps she witnessed the aftermath? I'm a water person, but I get overly nervous with my 5 and 3 year old at the pool. My 3 year old is fearless and jumps in and sinks. But I'm always with him and pull him out in time for him to throw up a little water. I just think with water you have to have a healthy respect. If I was going the pool route, I would be nervous all the time. And be a little extra careful.

  13. I didn't see a "tell me about" thread (thankfully) and avoided starting one. I gave up my UT season tickets and started with UTSA when the program started. My group was having kids, the daylong investment into driving up to Austin was harder, and we started enjoying UT games in the AC on TV. I've really enjoyed being able to go to the Alamodome for games. We are locked in on the 45 yard line about 20 rows up. It's been a solid experience so far. We have a decent tailgate crowd and some dedicated fans. But we need to start winning and getting to bowl games so we can get attendance back up. Tough schedule this year (for CUSA) and we have lots of questions on Offense, and with new DC. But its a fun home schedule(for UTSA) . Hopefully we can surprise ASU and their new coach : ) I couldn't make it up to Waco last year but I hope we can win again at home. I expect to continue kicking Texas State's ass. Sept 1st at Arizona State Sept 8th BAYLOR Sept 15th at Kansas State Sept 22nd TEXAS STATE Sept 29th UTEP Oct 6th at Rice Oct 13th LOUISIANA TECH Oct 20th at Southern Miss Nov 3rd at UAB Nov 10th FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL Nov 17th at Marshall Nov 24th NORTH TEXAS
  14. I do. I rarely go east of 1-10 and 1604. But that started when I got married and had kids. I settled in near Bandera and 1604.
  15. That is where the really great houses are. That was one of the neighborhoods ( plus Monte Vista, King William, etc) that I used to drive around dreaming about when I was a college student.

    I can't wait to hate this team.
  17. At Monkey Business. My wife is already buying lots of stuff from the little stores. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I'm not going to lie. I just spent an hour outside watering the grass thinking about how I can do more during these last few months. My neighborhood was a red pocket in a mostly blue area of Northwest San Antonio in 2016, but I'm seeing BETO signs pop up almost daily. Mine was the first about 3 months ago and now it's getting close to 20. I was thinking about how I would react to someone I called saying they only vote R. I came to the conclusion that "thanks" was the way to go, but I also imagined it might be hard not to engage.
  19. I had much better temperature control my second time. Did a Boston Butt and didn't mess with the vents as much. I injected it the night before it it had pretty nice flavor. I still had a spike about hour 6. I'm using minion method and I wonder if its just the way it hits the coals at that time. I also moved my grate temp probe into the center more and it seemed to be more of what I would have expected. So I've done brisket and pork. I'll probably try ribs as my deck upgrade is complete. I hope I don't over do it and burn out, but its really a cool way spend that quite time when the 5 and 3 year old are asleep.
  20. Glad I was patient. New bid came in about 8K less than the other two. He did say he was going to completely rebuild the top 12 x 20 but thought he could use the existing frame on the bottom level, so that is some materials saving. Any red flags with that? All new rails, floors, stairs and skirting will be cedar.
  21. I think we have the time. Is it worth it to repair the scrape? It is a scrape and small indention on a door. She rubbed against a gate post : (
