  1. I think I see an effective strategy emerging for Texas.
  2. I wouldn’t leave the non alcoholic version to age for a month or six weeks. I wouldn’t drink it at that point.
  3. I mean all the confetti falling in random places on the field, Champagne spraying all over the locker room, beads and towels just chunked into the population during the parade, everything is totally off the rails Astros, get it together!
  4. Really want to see this thing (and my tax dollars) get off the ground.
  5. Some guys in my town growing up had a B25 that they flew around to airshows and such. My dad and I were supposed to go for a ride in it, but shit didn't work out, and we were late, but got there in time to see it takeoff right beside us. Loud AF. A few years later, they crash landed the plane short of the runway, everybody was able to walk away, which they did, leaving the plane in a field. Rumor was they had come back from a airshow, and maybe had had a few cocktails as well, and needed to not talk to the FAA right away.
  6. I'll say this, the accident happened and it's tragic. I'll also say that every participant in the event would have stacked hands before the event and swear on a stack of bibles that it was totally safe and professionally run. Somehow something went wrong, and it needs to be sorted out. I've seen this same show many times at Wings Over Houston at Ellington, as well as other places around the state and it's amazing the number of planes in the sky, there's never not a plane in front of the crowd during the show. I saw it two weeks ago, walked around both the P63 and the B17, chatted with the crews, and enjoyed watching/listening to the big iron flying. Sad to see these videos. Lives and equipment gone forever.
  7. CSB - I was at an opening day dove hunting event around Breckinridge in the early 80's back during the oil boom. Totally cool shindig, pickups bringing beer and BBQ around the field during the hunt, a dance with a country band that night, and Howard Pardue flying around doing acrobatics over the field in a F4U Corsair. /CSB
  8. Saw all those guys two weeks ago in Houston. Very sad.
  9. Odd. Wonder if something is wrong?
  10. I don’t know anything about anything - so the payout is in cash? Really?
  11. I would expect that Crane has already thought two or three moves ahead, and has a plan in place. This is not a half assed organization.
  12. Saw him at Bass Concert Hall on UT campus in 87 or so, with a girl who asked me to go with her. So this hits close to home.
  13. Probably pitch a two-hit complete game shutout against the Astros.
  14. So you keep a guy on the payroll with one foot out the door, spending half his time looking for his next gig?
  15. I wouldn't want to be the tow-er or the tow-ee.
  16. Now if you had a corch on the field, look out.
  17. Sounds like Morgan Freeman, but is it really?
