    Or they’re Presbyterians who attended Catholic School. You won’t let us Protestants take communion during mass? Fine, I’ll just enjoy Irish tears on Monday.
  2. My thoughts are it’s a shame Kirk didn’t live through the shooting. It would have been better if he had lived long enough for his George Wallace transformation.
  3. The guy that brought us Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, Bridge of Spies, Greyhound, Sully, the Pacific, Masters of the Air. The guy who makes John Wayne and John Ford look like cowards in comparison. Makes total sense.
  4. No blockage, so it’s a lifestyle wake up call.
  5. Man I would love an outcome like yours. Thanks for sharing. One other thing - last week I was at Yellowstone, did several mile plus walks/hikes per day and just chalked the mild difficulty up to being a sea level dweller temporarily at 7,500 ft. I did not have any conscious limitations, and was happy as hell in the great outdoors. But put me on a teams call with work and that’s when my heart feels like I’m 30 years older.
  6. Thanks for the songs. For the better part of a year, I have felt like something is off. I just turned 53 for reference. Back in 2004 I had an acute heart issue which resulted in a pacemaker/ICD being installed. About a year later, my heart function was back up to normal, and so for the most part I don’t consider myself someone with heart issues or any limitations. Aside from having the device replaced twice for new tech/power and having yearly cardiologist visits, it’s been easy. But in recent months I’ve been experiencing strange symptoms where my heart will feel tight, and my desire for physical activity has been reduced. I feel tired all the time and I don’t feel like rising at 4 to go fishing. I scheduled a thorough checkup with my cardiologist and had a stress test and echocardiogram. Failed the former, but the latter looked normal. So now I’m having a heart cath tomorrow to see if there is blockage. I’m hoping there is, because I’m terrified of the alternative. I want them to be able to fix this with angioplasty or a stent and say “we found the root cause and fixed it, enjoy the improved circulation, now be sure to exercise and eat sensibly, we will continue to monitor. The alternative is “your heart and arteries have no blockage, your problems are probably stress or lifestyle related.” Which is why I’m posting this here. Work stress? Trump derangement syndrome? Talked to a trusted friend and he advised to quit future tripping, just put all thinking on hold for a few days. I think I will try that.
  7. I like it when you people contribute to our thread.
  8. I am sensitive and I do not suffer well, and I need to pray for others. That’s the tl;dr of the 10 paragraph missive I just typed about traveling to Yellowstone with my wife’s alcoholic uncle. Grateful to be sober, safe and reasonably sane. And to have a meeting to attend.
  9. My wife spread some of her mom’s ashes in the foothills of the Tetons very near your first picture above, by Jackson Lake yesterday, and in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone today. The last 3 days have been glorious. Me, Tetons, Yellowstone, the Snake, and a new GoPro. Today I left my wife’s uncle at the house with some scotch, cigs, and Fox News, and saw some gorgeous stuff. My river guide has been living in a Tundra with a camper top rig since spring semester ended, and is headed back to the University of Alaska tomorrow. An efficiency in Jackson Hole is $6k/month. He said he’s camped in a different place every night all summer. He does this every year and he’s about to start a masters in engineering.
  10. I read this on the banks of the Yellowstone River, while tanning ribeyes and watching a herd of elk. My wife has 4 years left to vest. Staying at a magnificent house, and I ruined ol Mr. Boudreaux’s dinner by telling him it was designed and built by a west coast Democrat. Poor bitter ol fucker was sweating a drink so bad today I sat my wife down and told her look, your uncle is about to get the shakes bad, is acting like an asshole, and if you don’t get him a bottle of scotch and a case of beer I’m gonna leave his ass here without a car while I go adventuring.
  11. God what a beating. I’ll bet Scottie was happy to get off the course today. Had a little fun on ChatGPT. Alright, here’s the roast version — why it’s painful to watch Patrick Cantlay play golf: • Watching Cantlay line up a putt is like waiting for paint to dry… if the paint also had to check the wind, re-read the grain, and call a rules official. • He doesn’t “play golf,” he commutes through golf — slow, joyless, and always stuck in traffic. • By the time he pulls the trigger, you’ve had enough time to order food, get it delivered, and watch a Netflix episode. • His pre-shot routine has its own back nine. • Even Jim Nantz has run out of synonyms for “deliberate.” • At the Ryder Cup, European fans started chanting “Hit the ball!” — and half of Team USA joined in. • Cantlay’s highlight reels are longer than the Lord of the Rings extended cuts… and contain about the same amount of action.
  12. 3-2-1 Put em on at 240 for 3 hours, wrap em in foil for 2, then the last hour unwrapped. Use some yellow mustard as a binder and some pork rub, spray it with apple juice every once in a while, and for god sakes peel the silver skin off first. If you run out of time just wrap them and stick them in a broiling pan at 350 until tender. Of course my answer is 12 hours too late so how did they turn out?
  13. And we all know Henley follows it up with huhum 68s and 69s while Scottie shoots 66s and 67s. Its over.
  14. You can take the boy out of Beaumont, but you can't stop him from sticking his dick in the only living neanderthal. I have 120 mutuals with that cretin. Head scratching, because most are attention whores, some are Dems, about half are dead, and none are ex-cons or drug addicts.
  15. As chronicled on another thread, I've spent about $500 this year in professional extermination costs eradicating mice. It is incredible the places they end up. A mouse can squeeze through an opening the diameter of a #2 pencil. Their skulls are tiny and they can contort their bodies to follow. In my case, I have 4 house perimeter bait boxes plus two in the attic, refilled every 6 weeks by my guy Luis. Mice eat the bait, leave the house to go find water, and die of dehydration. After trapping 50 of them I went nuclear. Such is life adjacent to a 1,000-acre field.
  16. For back to school his agent should pitch a golf bag that resembles this.
  17. So Bhatia aces 17, winning the car, and the announcers set him up so he has to give the Caddy the Bimmer.
  18. Or change the settings so he only gets the Spanish translation.
  19. Not bad, actually, but its option year subscription inertia getting me to 100% OTE. I have begun working very closely with a big aerospace firm and a DOD agency, which has been enlightening and interesting. DOGE doesn't try to bully .mil people, but holy smokes USAID and civilian agencies are getting bent over. Culture shock is I'm not ex military.
  20. From time to time I’ll wear a Baylor quarter zip in the NE and people will ask me if its Boston University. Plus isn't a part of owning a trademark the responsibility of enforcing it? IIRC that's why the Aggies sued the NFL Seahawks over the twelfth man thing.
  21. Great AA meeting on Catalina, by the way. At a little church towards the back of town.
  22. Viking thinks my late father and his late FIL who would be about 120 now are sitting around the house with millions sitting in the bank. Every single day they bombard me with booklets about how I need to cruise Europe’s waterways. I'm not kidding when I say I discard about 50lbs of their catalogs annually. +1 on Norwegian Haven class. Its awesome.
