    Watched the Bee Gees doc. It was worth the watch. That last clip of them on stage coincided with an allergy flare-up.

    Realtor - 'Their is also a cistern in the basement that the owner had installed years ago...'

    That last pic of the fireplace... does anyone else get a minor serial killer vibe from looking at that?

    The Lost Girls - starring Amy Ryan (The Office, Gone Baby Gone), Gabriel Byrne. Based on a true story - Girl goes missing, ends up uncovering the work of a serial killer(s). The main arc is around the police and their handling of the cases and their interactions with the surviving family members. Overall, I though it was a good movie. Depressing material though.

    The Crew - got 5-10 minutes in on 1st episode. Thought,"Nope". Got up the next day, "I will give it a few more minutes." Watched probably 2 minutes... Nope.

    First Double Post.

    Saw this type of shit in The Woodlands after hurricanes nailed stations on the coast. They would announce rolling blackouts. We were like, OK, lets roll with it. Every time this would happen in our neighborhood - Copper Sage in Cochran's Crossing - our house and about 3-4 others would be without power. I could literally look across the street and see folks with their lights on. Them and the rest off the neighborhood never saw their lights flicker over the course of a couple of weeks. This was during August... you can only get to one layer of naked to try and cool off. Bottom line, this shit sucks. It sucks more for others. I know what you are feeling.

    Boil water notice for Kyle.

    Glad I have a plumber on retainer via my oldest daughter and grandkids... No water in Kyle. Getting a trickle in my front bathroom but that is it. This started after we powered back on from a blackout.

    My wife and I are counting ourselves as lucky. Since midnight, we have had 6-7 outages. That is in addition to the other outages since they started rolling blackouts. Faucets are dripping though and we have a gas cook top.

    No sun where I am at. Stuff is melting though.

    Put me down for 2011 Game 6, too. Damn. 2001 Big XII championship. Saw it person. 2008 - Texas Tech and the subsequent BS that followed still pisses me off. The falls of Pete Rose and OJ Simpson... maybe suited for another thread - 'Innocence Lost aka - When did you realize your sports hero was just another fallible human being'

    -4 in Waco that day. 1983 in Waco strikes me as being colder than that, but it was not. However, the fact that it was 7 degrees and my truck had no heater and shabby weather stripping probably had something to do that.

    Preferred nomenclature is 'soda water' or 'sodie water' for the unwashed. Down in Kyle, things have been iced over for a couple of hours. Just had a brief power outage.

    Hotel on Duval Street was Crowne Plaza - La Concha

    Bahia Honda is a great place to snorkel off the beach. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is good. Just up-voting these previously recommended places. If you have a day (or most of a day) Dry Tortuga is a good excursion and worth the time. We have stayed at the Sheraton on the Atlantic Side in Key West. They had a shuttle running to Duval area. Stayed at a Hampton Inn on the Gulf side in Key Largo. There was a canal close by that manatees swam up and down. We stayed at an older hotel on Duval street, built in the 20's but I can't recall the name of it. It was great for convenience. The vibe down there on Duval street is worth the trip. Lots of folks just hitting bars and drinking without all of the alcohol fueled dipshittery you would find on 6th street. Also, the beach at Fort Zach provided for some great ,um, scenery. Lot's of fit European women there on one of my trips.

    Bermuda grass...Battling white clover already. Live in Buda\Kyle\SM area. I have hit it with Ortho WeedClear a couple of times. Last time back in December. Sprouting back up in treated areas. Used to dealing with St. Augustine. Any suggestions?

    Friend of mine from Waco died this past Sunday from COVID-19. He was overweight. 56 years old. Sucks. He was good friends with my brother-in-law... grew up around the corner from one another. His older brother was a good friend of mine before he died in a plane crash back in 85. Survived by wife and 3 kids, an older sister and two younger brothers. I feel worse for the siblings since they have been through this before. He is the first person relatively close(circle of family and friends) to me that I know that has died from this.

    I know this has been mentioned before... but the next motto *should* be - Fuck around and find out.

    Y'all get back in the club, it's all over with...

    The legal name is 'The Woodlands'. I seem to remember seeing Spring on some mail addressed to me a few times,though.
  22. BonzoMontreaux
    Years ago, I worked for a guy who would talk about going to the woodlands to visit in-laws. I would always illicit a WTF look from me. It took a few times of him mentioning it to realize it was indeed 'The Woodlands'. I ended up living there for 8 years at some point.

    Obligatory... Fuck the Big XII. Looks like pollsters had some sense about the situation. Re: Craig Way Before the big TV contracts for college football, you pretty much were stuck listening to the Esso\Exxon Radio Network sponsored radio broadcasts. I grew up listening to Frank Fallon on Saturday nights in the fall. I consider Fallon to be one of the GOATs. Schoening and Way are in that same realm. Way calls UT games like he is calling a High School Championship game. He pretty much keeps any bias he has in check. The only time that *I* have heard him have a 'WTF' moment was the 2015 Okie State game. I can get why people might turn him off from 10-12, but when it is game time, we are fortunate to have him calling it from our broadcast booth.

    I will still watch Batman. I remember when they cast Keaton as Batman, there was a bit of a rhubarb about it. He was good enough for me for *that* movie. That being said, BR and the rest from that time frame are not worth the time at all.
