    Can't get enough of this . . . ever. Love the story about recording this song for the album. Things weren't working out on the solo. With some help of one of the guys on their crew, they took a mobile recording unit out, broke into Carlos Santana's gear locker, and used his gear to record the guitar solo that went on the album. That. Is. Brown.

    Missed this thread until now. Such a great band. Got into them in the mid 90s. Saw them in Dallas in 2003. Saw them again in Dallas in 2024 with my older son, and they still were as good as the first time I saw them. I finally got most of the vinyl I wanted (C&C through Quebec). I hope they're able to pull it together and get back on stage at least occasionally, but hopefully Deaner can really get healthy first. A good friend of mine was at the Stubb's show and remarked that the encore really was something. 😺 I just wish the uncropped video still was floating around.
  4. First crack at shrimp etouffe. Happy
  5. I kind of have a feeling TylerISD isn't interested in fighting the school renaming battle again any time soon, even though there are plenty of people around here who would love it. They've already changed the stationary, it didn't hurt as much as they though it would, and it's too big of a to-do to re-fuck it.
  6. I flat out told my kids that it was in state for an undergraduate degree unless they managed to get a full ride somewhere they wanted to go more (or wanted to go to Arky, which will give Texas the equivalent of in-state tuition). No cloak room, but until recently, I would have told them they teach the same history in history classes at UT as they do at any out-of-state school. So far, so good on that assumption.
  7. To clarify, she quit after her junior year in high school, but was recruited by several small schools before she quit. She got into Wake Forest on academics.
  8. A friend of mine whose daughter was in the "rowing" scene called it the cheat code for getting any kid into a decent college. It's a lot though. His daughter burned out by the end of her junior year. Now's she's a NARP (non-athletic regular person) and is going to Wake Forest next year. She probably wouldn't have gotten into Wake for rowing, but she was recruited by several schools her junior year.
  9. Nah. Fuck that squirrel. He pick up the Discovery Channel on that thing?

    That's why they also sell D9 Hemp gummies in Texas (for now). On discount days, 12.5mg will run you about $2.25, I'm told.
  11. Which anniversary? As long as it isn't divisible by 5, don't sleep on Hopfields. I know it usually gets mentioned for its burgers, but the dinner ambience is very good as is the dinner menu. The Beef Cheeks Bourguignon I had a few years ago still haunts my dreams. Not overly fancy, but they serve some good, honest food.
  12. I'd ask $1,500 and be prepared to come down to $1,000. I realize they're asking $4,600 new for what appears to be the 48x24" barrel, but for something that's 3/16" thick with a 1/4" firebox, that seems like a pretty high price. It's nice that stainless doesn't rust, but it doesn't seem to be the best material for holding a consistent temperature. But what it lacks in thickness, it seems to make up for in the cooking surface. So that's a plus. But it's hard to see how that vertical section does with the airflow. I'm just spit-balling on that price. For an apples to oranges comparison, I bought a new 48x24 (3/8" thick) pipe smoker spec'd out custom for me last year for $2,500. But maybe there's a market for a combo smoker like this that I'm not aware of.
  13. Terry Black's in Dallas is fine for a no-line place based on my anecdotal experience. But it's going to suffer to a degree from being a chain at this point.
  14. I've had two good meals at the Dallas location, but I'll never go back to the Waco location. Really subpar plate of food at that location. A lot of the Austin brisket apparently is cooked at the Lockhart location and trucked in these days.
  15. For years, Stanley's sourced meat through Country Meat Market in Tyler. It's a good business, but they sell Black Label Reserve Beef, which is "high choice" (top 2/3 choice). I've never been disappointed with what I buy there, but I'm not trying to sell brisket. A couple of years ago, they switched to Cut Beef, a local ranch. Pasture raised cattle, but I presume not graded. I gather they couldn't keep up with demand. 44Farms has been a change for the better.
  16. And that, my friends, is why you have to keep the creosote out of the chimneys.
  17. He'll sell it the minute it's time for a restring.
  18. TSLA stock up 27 points at the moment. That doesn't seem manufactured or manipulated at all. No, sir-ee.
  19. A few drinks in and I forget how to use commas. It's not a bug. It's a feature.
  20. We're in the back of 111.
  21. I gave it about 15 seconds per side too much on the sear, but damn, it still was good.
  22. Also, this is Bubba. He's an American Bully, but he's kind of small in stature. But he's got them lats. Still, even though he's small, he weighs around 60 lbs. He's fairly useless. Scary looking but scared of everything. My friend was pet sitting him.
