Nice equalizer

Biro back, but Gally out. I hope they are keeping Gally out in hopes that he can play Wednesday. ¡LISTOS!

I'm on a classic truck/jeep policy, so that might be the difference. I'm just glad to have better coverage.

I've had my 69' C10 for 20 years now. Great truck, but nothing fancy. I've always only carried liability insurance on it because of all of the restrictions associated with guaranteed value full coverage. I just learned that Hagerty has policies that don't have mileage limiters and don't require vehicles to be kept in the garage. Still can't be a daily driver, but that just means you might have to show proof of owning another vehicle. I just got a new Hagerty policy that has collision and comp for about $100 more per year than my previous liability policy. Not sure if anyone else is in a similar situation, but I thought I'd pass along the info.

Snagged this chunky redear on the Sam Gabriel the other night. Picture doesn't do it justice - probably weighs a pound or more. That is my large net. Grabbed the silliest looking fly from my box, the Mop Gurgler, and managed to catch five sunfish and two bass in about 20 minutes. Sometimes it's great just wetting a line.

He apparently had a long life.

Funniest part is all the aggys trying to prove that its a replica. Um . . . a replica of one of the dumbest things ever.

It's like you're listening to Don't Stop Believing and then everything goes black.

I predict it will not be good. I also predict we will watch it.

Had a very similar situation with my oldest. She's still at UT, but was offered an internship with one of the big companies selling financial products. Internship was for 9 months. She really wanted to start doing real work and this was the only internship she was offered. I knew that it was simply bring the names and numbers of 300 of your closest friends and we'll train you to make the sales pitches. Her personality is not that outgoing and I knew it would be a bad job for her. I contacted a friend in that industry, told her about the situation, asked if they could become linked in buddies, and if she would talk to my daughter about the industry. In the end, she decided not to take the internship offer and I'm glad it was based upon her learning about the position from someone in the industry as opposed to me trying to tell her it wasn't a great idea.

I don't know how many times I yelled at a ref for playing advantage when the ball went to Rigoni.

Steven Seagal singing reggae with a fake Jamaican accent - "Me want the punani . . ."

And make sure to pull up Otis Redding's The Dock of the Bay.

Re: GA floor - I don't like people standing all around me, so I usually opt for a spot along the music engineer's fence. No problems watching shows at ACL Live from that spot.

Thanks for the heads-up. Just got two.

I swear y'all are just making up names at this point. There can't be 75 actors in the running for best actor under 40.

Envious of your trip with Dedeaux. That should be great. Give a report on the new guide.

Alright, Alright, Alright!

You fishing with a guide? I'm wanting to do the same sometime this summer. I fished plenty down at the coast, but mainly with conventional gear.

Yep. Good ID.

We did SF in 2015 with our younger girls. Stayed at a VRBO on the cable car line up the hill from Chinatown. Did a combination tour of Alcatraz and Muir Woods. Rented bikes and road around town and across the Golden Gate Bridge. Other touristy stuff. Wife and I went to Sonoma in 2016. Rented road bikes and biked through the wine country during the morning and visited vinyards in the afternoons. Healdsberg was great for dining. We stayed at a B&B in Cloverdale and participated in that small town's 4th of July festivities. Armstrong Woods was a great place to see tall trees. As suggested above, spend a day hitting Armstrong and then out along the coast. I would highly suggest taking Boehieman Highway from near Armstrong to Occidental and Coleman Valley Road from Occidental to the coast. The views of the ocean are great. One of the best rides we did, twice, was south out of Healdsberg to Wohler Road (left), across the Russian River and back north to Healdsberg through the Dry Creek area. Several really cool vineyards, including one in an old hop kiln. It would be a great drive as well.

There was a picture of a Western Ratsnake in a tree on the Nextdoor this morning. Three or four people identified it as a rattlesnake (one very specific - dimoND back rattlesnake) and one person said it was either a rat snake or water moccasin. I think I prefer snakes over most people.

On Saturday, I explored part of the Pedernales River between Stonewall and Johnson City. Caught 5-6 bass, some largemouth and some guadalupe, and a hand full of sunfish. Saw several cruising carp, but was not able to get them interested in my fly. Beautiful river which is a mixture of grainte and limestone. Difficult to wade because it was all jagged rocks. All in all, it was a fun trip. Nice to get out and experience nature.

One of my favorite spots in NOLA. Fried chicken is incredible. Far too few references to it on the New Orleans Food and Drink Thread.
