    Shit My Kid Says

    Just wrapping up a 3 days stay at Great Wolf lodge in Grapevine. For the second time in two years the week of July 4th, we were awoken at 3 am to the fire alarm. Smoke somewhere. This time it was accompanied by electricity outage in a huge chunk of the property including our room. Several engines responded. The electricity remained out until 6pm the next day. We got a phone call from the manager that our two nights were going to be refunded.

    I have a Johnny cash in the making.
  3. Never stop shooting if the ball is going in. Ride a streak until it breaks.
  4. We caught 4 inch perch. There is a lot of plants along the shore making it hard to fish from without getting caught up. Small ones. Really small.
  5. Beuscher today. Already caught some perch. That’s more than I’ve caught in 5 years of not fishing. It’s hot. The park is small but some good basic features. And it’s an hour from home.
  6. Yeah. I see where you are coming from but definitely a narrow view. I think of crack cocaine and grunge music. Not exactly Disney. As for military, I remember that we were always intervening somewhere. Libya, Panama, operation desert storm, Bosnia, Mogadishu. It felt like we were team America world police and someone was always taking pot shots.
  7. I work on a computer that I have to log into. The computer locks if I am inactive for 10 minutes for security reasons (healthcare data, HIPAA). 1) I have to log into at least three different applications that I use for tasks all day using the same login and password I use to log into the computer. 2) each application will log me out if I do not interact with that application within 10 minutes Logic tells me, both 1) and 2) are unnecessary. I should be able to use my login credentials once and have access to all applications. If the screen doesn’t lock, I’m still there and will likely need all applications at some point. Fucking waste of time with zero added security.
  8. Ok. With the war over and the queen dead, why don’t the Dothraki and unsullied just go home before getting justice? They weren’t from around kings landing, nobody killed the queen and claimed control. There isn’t anyone to direct them beyond the seven kingdoms. Jobs done. Enjoy peace. They fought for the queen. She gone. It’s not fair? Fuck you. It’s war. Nothing has been fair. Go home.
  9. I head to Vipon. I Get discounted cheapos. I buy a couple at a time. I can buy a dozen for the price of Bose or beats. When the batteries wear out (and the batteries do wear out) or the ear wax starts to build up I toss them. Either that or I lose them and I don’t kick myself because they were $20 not $200
  10. When Jon looked back, I felt like the thought ballon should have appeared that said “why are we closing a gate? There’s a huge fucking hole 100 yards to the left”.

    Sub means under water Toot means fart Substitute is an underwater fart.
  12. Man. 2019 was not good. Understatement I know. The baseball season is the only reason I keep LHN and I maybe watched 5 games after conference play started. I hope the team gets focused and some help in all areas.
  13. Maybe we are reading this wrong. Perhaps Pattinson will be a vampire again this time as Dracula in the live action version of this
  14. I’ll relinquish because I don’t give a shit. I’ll only suggest if it seems like the dropmaster doesn’t want to make a decision (10 seconds or so into flight time). Largely I just like to go with the flow. Loot for 10 minutes on the edge. Ok. Whatever. Jump in a slaughterfest, ok let’s see how we fare. What bugs me is people that split off in opposite directions and don’t want any part of a group effort. Or to the guys that leave the match while I’m en route to get your respawn, fuck you.
  15. That’s hard for many. I get it, stop being poor is funny. But as a part of a dual income family pulling in decent money, a VA loan is the only reason we were able to buy a home when we did in our thirties. You can be not poor and still not be able to collect $60k. Saving $60 grand for a down payment an average home in the Austin suburbs with college loan debt and paying rent is really hard. Not everyone is ready to buy, but trying to save money while paying a fuckton for a decent rental with a reasonable commute (and the related tolls) around Austin is tough. As a home owner, home prices and ever increasing property taxes will be the death of me.
  16. Yeah. I’ve seen a lot of “Drogon was ineffectual against the Scorpion but now somehow destroys them” in a few narratives about the show. I think the strategy changed. She came in with the sun at her back fast and then hit the deck. They hurried their shot and she destroyed them during the reload. When they took out dragon #2 it was a surprised. It’s not a huge leap of faith that she came with a strategy to counter their ability. I was expecting a hidden scorpion in the tower to take a shot when the dragon got close but that didn’t happen.
  17. Still wish there was a mess of young dragons that joined the fight born when the dragons were away.
  18. Tyrion went to Dany and said she had been betrayed. Before that, the little girl being used to do the poisoning mentioned she thought the soldiers were watching her. The soldiers probably told Tyrion.
