  1. @sbbruin bought his wife a Buick. I remember trivia like that.
  2. My wife loves to drive and has a very accurate sense of direction. This is counterbalanced by an intuitive talent for hitting every single pothole on the road. I’ll see one coming from several hundred yards in advance and immediately begin evasive maneuvers. But for her, it’s like a moth to a flame.
  3. I like the styling on those. Can’t wait to hear how she likes it.
  4. It was free from my library’s Libby app. It’s basically porn and golf, written by a woman. So so so cringey. But I really needed something mindless and stupid.
  5. I knew a young fella who stepped out in front of a car on College (Highway 90) in Beaumont to end it all. Witnesses said it was deliberate. I tried to help that kid for years but he was just broken. Afterwards, through family friends, I found out the lady driving the car was on her way to the airport to fly to a family vacation with her grandkids, and it affected her for years. So fucking unfair to lay that on an innocent.
  6. I’m entertaining opportunities, my DMs are open.
  7. Me right now, after the best sales year in my career. Layoff effective 30 days from today + 90 day package. Excellent reviews and management endorsements. I’m in enterprise software sales.

    Shooting the hobos was the most predictable Spencer thing ever. He should have just asked them “do you wanna die now, or in a few hours?”
  9. Also - last night my wife’s best friend turned 50 and I was up til 1am, drinking coffee and watching a half dozen drunk as shit Caucasian women having a twerk contest. What I really wanted to be doing was sleeping so I could rise at 5 and be on the water by sunrise on this gorgeous day. I’m pretty sure I’m about to upgrade boats, as wives are too much trouble.
  10. If you’ve gone 2 months without a drink it’s an epic waste of your time and the insurance company’s money to go to treatment. You’re either done or you’re not. I’m going to PM you my phone number, please feel free to give me a text or shout this week. One quick story to establish my bonafides - prior to being separated from alcohol for the last time 14 years ago, I was the poster child for psychiatric pharmacology. Since doctors wouldn’t confront me directly about my drinking habits, my disease manifested itself in everything from ADHD to bipolar disorder, and I was accordingly medicated. Eventually my condition was determined to be garden variety alcoholism of the unremarkable type. The brain zaps you report remind me of weaning from Cymbalta. There are 203 granules in a 60Mg capsule. I built an excel spreadsheet, and over several months opened each capsule and, using forceps and a jeweler’s velvet pad, removed and discarded the unneeded quantity until I was done. Brain zaps suck. Anyway, you and I have a shared experience and I would like to help. At the minimum I’ll try to be amusing. But to be transparent, I’m also going to suggest that you read a book called Alcoholics Anonymous. 40 million copies (no shit) have been printed, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find. Ok, I’m exaggerating. 37 Million is the actual number.
  11. I’m well over 40 shows now too, and you either have to appreciate the band in their current makeup or stop going. BStrong really has come into his own and I see Rashawn as augmenting Jeff’s perceived weaknesses. We all loved Roi and Boyd and for years I was the worst critic. At some point I stopped picking them apart and just leaned into the fact that this is my lifetime favorite band, for better or worse. I was much happier after that realization.
  12. Bought lowers for Friday and Pit for Saturday, last weekend of June, Chicago. This band is going to break me.
  13. My sister in law happened to be passing by a Waffle House when they were dismantling the sign. They were going to throw away the plastic letters so instead they gave them to her and she framed them, installed backlighting, and sold them on Etsy for $250 each.
  14. I just walked out into my cul-de-sac and there was a smoking hot Italian milf, whose dog was sniffing a tree. Turns out she moved in last week several doors down and is an investment advisor. I was running late to an appointment so I just sort of shouted at her goddamnit apples at 208 let’s schedule a cuppa. Stay tuned.
  15. The edge of one lake is on a spring used for eons by native Americans, Spanish missionaries, and everyone else traversing the deep east Texas piney woods, so a fresh clear water source is the key. I was just born lucky.
  16. The usual stuff, you know, dropping lots of structure, culling small bass, keeping it stocked with baitfish, and frying would be poachers on the electric fence. Managing vegetation is the big differentiator. Temporarily dropping the lake level every few years and clearing stuff. There are some Aggie consultants that help. Actually, my older cousin restores 1st gen Kawasaki jet skis and races them on one of the lakes, oddly, the fish seem to be unaffected. I’ll show up after a testing session and still get a fish on every cast.
  17. Oh yeah that’s been legendary for years. I think it got uploaded back when Rackspace was actually hosting YouTube as a startup, because we would all stand around and laugh at it.
  18. Not to take away from those accomplishments, but what are you feeding them? I would guess you have a secure setup to prevent pressure from poachers as well. Plus prime genetics on the stock brood. You can manage a tank like you can manage a herd. It’s unnatural but I would do the same. We’ve got 2 large spring fed lakes at our place and I always give my cousins grief about their “unnatural” fishery management habits.
  19. When watching DTS it’s easy to forget that Zak also has to be present for Pato and the gang. But then again he has Tony Kanaan as the face of that team.
  20. Funny story. I’ve been hoping my daughter would go to Al Anon. She lives in Chicago, and is starting to get work as an extra in tv and films for some spare cash. Today she shot an episode of The Bear, and you guessed it, she played an Al Anon at Jeremy Allen White’s meeting.
  21. No shit. My daughter filmed with him today and said he was surprisingly short.
  22. That’s amazing and real. Tilly gained 1.3 lbs in the last 3 weeks, and she’s hopefully going to max out at 12 lbs total. Amazing how fast growing dogs can gain weight, and you’re isn’t even a puppy. You’re a good man.
  23. And believe it or not, he’s so lucky he dodges raindrops. He could have taken a lob wedge to the skull from Elin, or a .380 in the balls from a jilted Waffle House waitress’s boyfriend, or he could have been impaled by a utility pole when he rolled the Genesis. Or snapped a limb while playing Navy Seal. #perspective
  24. BRK owns Clayton. And Dairy Queen, Justin Boots, fruit of the loom. I wrote a country song using nothing but product placement. I hope to sing it to uncle Warren before he dies.
  25. https://www.northlandgroup.org/ Breathe. Meetings should be your safe space.
