  1. Finally made it over to SA Fredericksburgers. Pretty damn good. It's right by home, so we will definitely be going back. Just did a regular cheesburger, but planning on getting the Roadrunner next time.
  2. But only kind of... like sort of regional variation...if it works...
  3. Good luck to all of you all. Baseball seems like such a grind. But I loved the process for my kids. I made sure my kids could throw a baseball when they were little. They actually did well with the bat. But throwing was the most important thing with regard to other sports. As a High School and Club coach, I'm amazed at how poorly some young athletes(mostly boys) can throw. It's sadly obvious when I see kids whos dads didnt got out to throw balls with them. It's all about water polo for my kids now, and they both have arms. I have to credit to getting out in the back yard to just throw.
  4. One of my favorite travel pics. In 99 I took my new Jeep(still have her, and she only has about 130,000 miles) on a 3 week solo road trip. New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado. Vistited lots of parks and camped along the way, but stayed at my Aunt and Uncles in Missoula before turning around. Just a great town and area. My Aunt took this as I was about to head off to Yellowstone. They loved their Samoyed dogs.
  5. Man... I wanted to get up there this summer on a road trip, but not sure I have that much time. My Aunt is up there and haven't been back since 2015. Have a blast. As my late uncle would say..."It's Beautiful...." I'll reach out to my cousin to see he if has any any input on bars and restaurants. He lives in Revelstoke, BC, but gets down to see his mom often.
  6. Not trying to be a smart ass, but yeah, advanced Alzeheimers probably means that. He could probably "use" one, but he never "knew" he needed to. And if you have lived with it, experienced it, it's pretty easy to understand that scenario.
  7. Alzheimers man.. he probably wondered around the house for days not realizing she was dead. He didn't find her...she was his caregiver.
  8. Hell, in 88-89, the Co-Op was selling LOTS of blue and various other colored Texas shirts.
  9. Awe shit. I told my wife when me got married, overalls were going to be one of my first purchases as a married man, and by god they were. Dickies overalls and red wing boots are my weekend attire around the yard/house. When I get older, I'm moving on to the zip up seersucker ones. Never have to worry about pulling my pants up when I'm working in the yard. Do it! You will never go back!
  10. I need to figure out this whole 2 Division thing. Harlan couldn't hang with Brennan this season, but they are also on the cusp of a State Championship. I guess good for them, but too many winners in my opinion. Brennan has won everyting easily this year. Our only loses were to two teams up in DC during a pre-season tournament. I'm hoping they come out strong and not complacent. Kingston is one of my students. Great, confident kid. But again, Brennan has some other kids. I really like Juniors Donavan Criss and Isiah Ward. Isiah gets extra love from me because he came out to support our Water Polo teams!
  11. SA Brennan back in the final four. When the kids were Sophmores, they lost by 2 to Beaumont United in the State Semis. Last year was a last second loss to Stoney Point off a Stoney Point 3 in the Regional Finals. Brennan goes up against Bellaire and Duke signee Shelton Anderson. Kingston Flemmings is the guy, but Brennan has a strong group of dudes around him. Hopefully this is their year.

    My dog died

    I've only had one dog in my life. I had never heard about the Rainbow Bridge poem before I had to let my Chela go. Someone shared it with me, and It still brings me peace 10 years later. Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...
  13. Took a couple of kids to 6A State Championships this weekend. As always, Texas HS swimmers didn't dissapoint. Maximus Williamson from Keller set a National record in the 200 Free in Prelims with a 1:32.63. He was cruising. Dropped time to 1:30.46 in Finals. I hear he is going to swim at Virginia...... It was a great meet as always. As an old former swimmer, I'm amazed at how big these kids are nowadays. Maybe it was High School cockiness and I wasn't intimidated or feelling small when I was there way back in the day... but damn these kids tower over me now.

  14. I used to go there often for their Dinner Parties when they had them. We would break plates and all that. Once got a piece of flying plate stuck in my leg. The Belly Dancers were fun also. Really good food. I need to get back as it's been many many years and I didn't even realize they were still around.
  15. Thought I had a disaster on my hands last night. When I added my stock (homemade) to the roux, the mix got all lumpy and slimy. That had never happened to me before, but I did darken my roux more than usual. I decided to crank it up to boil for a short time, and that evened everything out. Turned out to be a pretty good batch. So I guess it was a temperature issue with the roux and stock?
  16. Can't believe I'm watching for the first time. Season 4. I guess I just wasn't watching much TV in 99 and got into HBO seriew with BOB and The Wire. Really enjoying it. Made some bad ass baked Manicotti last week.
  17. I think the third one and one of the biggest ones was the possession at the very end of the 3rd. 2nd and 3 after a solid Wisner run. We called a pass play. Ended up being the bad bail out screen pass. Run it twice and we probably have the 1st . We ended up punting to start the 4th. They score on the next drive which was the missed holding drive.
  18. Bad play calling all game. That pass play the possession before should have been two runs. Then just run 4 times on the goal line. Good gosh
  19. Derek Roberson's school, Brennan was 4A back then because they were a new school. He was a solid player, and still probably one of the best to come out of a consitenly good Brennan program. Sorry, didn't see the other posts above.
  20. Gold or Standard Edition? Obiously don't need early play, but I guess Gold offers some DLC?

    Landman

    Not going to come on and thread shit so this will be it. I don't like it. I liked the Pena and family scenes. Couldn't take yellowstone anymore and made it through about 3 episodes of this.
  22. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would because I was with my 11 and 9 year old sons in the theater, eating way too much popcorn, and drinking big sodas. We don't do that enough. I feel bad that I almost tried to convice the 9 year old, who was the one who wanted to go, that we shouldn't based on the reviews. Lesson learned. Just take the kids to see what they want to see and roll with it.
  23. This was a 2020 post. Helo, you posted something on the same page. This is some of that "San Antonio food in Southtown"
