  1. New Acura RDX for my wife procured over the weekend. It has lots of new features that her old Honda Odyssey didn’t have. She’s still in the discovery phase. It’s a nice medium vehicle.

    Getting old sucks

    Re: Sitting to piss - In my advanced age and an enlarged prostate, the sitting position allows me to more fully drain my bladder and avoid any leakage later. Usually only in my own bathroom and not at work or out anywhere. So I got that going for me.
  3. I wonder about the current risk management and acceptance level of risk at NASA and how it's changed over time. There have been three high profile accidents with fatalities (Apollo 1, Challenger, Columbia) in the history of NASA, and NASA have become more risk averse over time. Clearly priorities and drivers have changed over time. We're not currently in a space race, at least not at the breakneck level that we were in the 60's, so there's not the pressure to win. I'm just not sure that they can get all the pieces of the Artemis program to the level of acceptable risk and cost to finish that mission, in a timeline that is acceptable to the taxpayers. The ISS will deorbit in the next decade or so, and I wonder about manned spaceflight after that. Risk, cost, time - pick two.
  4. Does fuel exhaustion not constitute gross negligence?
  5. Just bought my wife a brand new vehicle. Help me Jeebus.
  6. My wife’s (no pix) car had a tire with a slow leak so I took it in to Discount Tire and they replaced the tire under warranty. We were headed out of town that morning so wanted to make sure the tires were good. I picked up another nail on the way back to the house before we left. Had another replacement the same day.
  7. That’s our David Hamilton.
  8. Nice well defined smoke ring on those ribs. Would smash.
  9. Buddy of mine (Brit expat in Houston) has a Thai wife who has family up country away from Bangkok. The spend 3-4 months a year there and the lifestyle looks awesome. Great food and drink and really laid back. We may go visit them there next year.
  10. Warmed up pure maple syrup is the bomb on pancakes.
  11. Clearly too fast for the NFL. They’ll need a “Worthy” rule.
  12. It was a good place to grow up in. Then went to Austin for college and saw the wider world.
  13. The photo of Joey Aboussie is from high school - Wichita Falls High 1969 State Champs.
  14. I look at the non-conf games you list and would stop on most of them if I was flipping channels as they are generally good regional matchups. Used to be the bread and butter of CFB.
  15. I assume he’s talking about one of the Katy/Fulshear type of groups. BW8@I10 is not west of Houston anymore.
  16. What did Manfred do to Oakland? Not familiar with their situation.
  17. @Goofyboy is there a particular group you like to ride with?
  18. Just go to Church’s for the best chicken breast strips and gravy.
  19. Is that GWH Bush Park by chance?
  20. Man I miss the trade deadline magic in the Luhnow years.
