  1. We did a cruise with them in their “haven” suites. Stayed away from the masses on a private floor and the food was great. One and done for me though. Except for an Alaskan cruise.

    Getting old sucks

    Thanks for ruining my night. Asshole.
  3. No shit. These late games suck for my old guy sleep schedule. Let’s get it done tonight.
  4. I heard today from supposedly a connected source that it’s gonna be sept 1 and he actually broke a bone. No clue if true. I’ll take my 9.95.
  5. Good advice but he really doesn’t have any real target companies yet. Good news today as final junior rankings came out and he is top 1% now. We shall see. Ready for it to be over. Last one of 3 kids to do this! He will land at a place that is good for him regardless.
  6. Yeah. He just really loves Boulder campus. Skiing etc. know he can probably get into a “better” program but that’s his thought. UW also in the mix at #3. He’s also been to that campus and obviously loved it. Haven’t had wisky or Illinois on the radar. Maybe he should. No interest in Georgia tech. His older brother got accepted there but chose the 40 acres. We are assuming Auburn is a slam dunk for the ultimate safety school. Have a buddy who’s kid went there for aerospace and he landed at NASA. Hook em.
  7. Last kid is Rising senior . Applying to aerospace engineering in fall for 2025. Top 2%. 34 ACT. Well known good high school. Total Class of 1170. Decent extras and demonstrated interest in major in high school through extensive research projects etc. I am alum as are his two older brothers? I’m sure that doesn’t matter. He got a chance ? Applying to Michigan , Purdue , auburn , Washington , Clemson and UC Boulder . Colorado is first backup choice. I’m ready for this to end. Hook em .
  8. Fond memories of hitting chuys on westheimer and Kirby back in the day..circa 90-93. Getting Thursday nights started with a dot or two, some shiner, and some chips and salsa before heading over to gman in rice village to listen to Trish and Darin. Good times. I should cross post this in the “getting old sucks” thread . [emoji25][emoji25]
  9. Co-sign on Breck. Here for the week and so many options right here or 1 hour car ride or less away. We have come here every summer for the past 10 years and have only done a few hikes multiple times and that’s by choice.
  10. Long USA. Been working for me since started investing in 1987. Keep investing boys. Only game in town. Slow and steady wins the race. #retired@55
  11. Subscribed. Retired last year and wife doing the same in 6 months. Last kid graduates from high school next May. I’ve got evergreen Colorado, Chappel hill nc, Knoxville tn, on my shortlist. Plan to travel to each for a month to test the waters next year. Will miss TX but it’s just too damn hot for us. We love the outdoors too much to not be outside 5 months out of the year.
  12. Headed there tomorrow to get the hell out of Houston for a week. If people would clear out of breck a bit it would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
  13. Landing at 11. Airbnb check in at 4. After this week in Houston, I’m not gonna complain about a bit of traffic but sounds like we will be fine.
  14. Isolated incident or just normal weekend shitshow from Denver? Heading to breck tomorrow. Flying into Denver but may go southern route if I70 is nuts.
  15. Yep. Feel like a sitting duck here in the woodlands watching and hearing shit fall on roof and yard.
  16. Off to HEB in the woodlands to pick up our normal weekend haul for the week. Pray for my soul.
