    sorry for machine-gun posts.  I listened to this but I was distracted and I can't tell what's going on or if this is a bit?  gordo is going to remain on the musers and will join the hang zone once a week?  or gordo is leaving the musers and joining the hang zone full-time?

    It feels like a shot across the bow by Catlin that they are willing to reshuffle to protect that time slot.

    I would welcome that. He can turn programs around and make winning and competitive teams out of literal dogshit. Commerce finished 1-9 in 2012. Carthel gets there in the spring and his first year(2013) they finish 7-5 then have a 10 win season, win the conference title and make the playoffs in his second season. 

    People used to say that about Todd Graham.

    PF Changs
    Cheesecake Factory
    Red Lobster/Olive Garden

    All are absolutely trash. All have an hour wait on a weekend afternoon and evening. F that noise. 

    Who in the fuck overrates these places? That's like saying cheddars or applebees are overrated.

    Never been but thinking about making a 20th anniversary trip the first week of November.  Is this still the tail end of harvest/crush season and a good time to visit?

    Looking for somewhere to stay and ok to splurge a bit for the occasion.  Wife is picturing tv/movie type views where we just sit on a private balcony overlooking rolling vineyards, etc type of shit.  Searching always leads to auberge du soleil but it's booked. Anybody have a favorite vineyard view hotel with spa on site?  Anybody ever stay at Meritage Resort and Spa?

     

     

    That is where you are going to get the movie type views. Have you tried calling?

    We are thinking about doing the exact same. Separate steam oven and then the 48 inch with the speed/ microwave. How does the microwave work without a turntable? Does it heat evenly? Does the speed oven work as well as a standard convection oven?

    I think that combo, along with the griddle on the cooktop, checks all our boxes.

     

    Microwave seems to works fine without turntable. The only thing we really microwave is easy mac for kids or the occasional pig in a blanket. Now that I think of it, my last microwave didn't turn either and it was fine. Speed oven works fine as does the convection. Steam oven is badass. I'm going to try making bread in it this week.

  6. If you haven’t been to a game at UH’s new stadium and you live in Houston, get your ass over there for a game. They put on a great game day experience. That school deserves a better coach for the amount they have invested. I didn’t have high expectations, but fuck was I wrong. The stadium is great. They pour strong drinks. Lines move fast for everything. It’s clean. They were nice to us in rice gear. Food was good.

    The Mob let me down. They did some shit about phineas and ferb that even my kids didn’t understand. Just when I thought halftime couldn’t get worse as a rice fan, UH brought out Bun B and Paul Wall to sing. It was fucking awesome. I know this sounds like a Texags fan fiction, but that group has it figured out. They just need a coach.

  7. Train kind of day...

    That third shot tells a story about function over style. They tried to make those controls forward facing in the new units just because it looked good. Thank god they went back on that.
  8. Don’t fuck around with dizziness. Ignored it for a couple days after having some pressure in my ears. In the ER now waiting for a transfer because apparently I have a small brain bleed. I’m terrified.
