  1. I may go over there right now.
  2. So Rangers fixing to sign: Verlander, De Grom, Judge, trade for Ohtani, and snagged Odorizzi. Got it.
  3. All those DQ’s coming back from NM and Colorado from Trinidad & Raton to Clayton to Dalhart down 287 have progressively gotten worse since the 70’s.
  4. Alcohol kills bacteria. It's science. and there's a lot of alcohol in the Alton Brown "aged" recipe.
  5. I’ll have to stop there in a couple weeks on the way back from Odessa. Young CycleTex crushed many frito chili pies, steak finger baskets, and untold dipped cones from the now defunct DQ in my Texas hometown. I don’t guess I’ve eaten at a DQ in a few decades.
  6. In my primitive petroleum engineering mind, you don't produce any oil & gas from a shale formation without fracturing it in the first place. Trying to compare hypothetical water cuts before and after fracking is really meaningless. Without the combination of long horizontal laterals into shales and fracturing each well, there's no renaissance of US oil & gas production that we've seen in the Permian or anywhere else. @Armybrat's chart is interesting. I didn't plot out the number of earthquakes over time, but they don't seem to be increasing in frequency. Is this quake related to/caused by water injection secondary to hydraulic fracturing? Who knows? Does it matter? Honest questions here. Geopolitical forces have most certainly changed as a result of the shale production revolution, aided by hydraulic fracturing. I happened to be on a wellsite south of Odessa at the time of the quake, and did not perceive it. Was in Mentone the next day. I didn't see any widespread damage, at least related to earthquakes. Mentone itself is kind of an ongoing disaster. Old chart, but shows the impact of fracking in Permian:
  7. Yes, I know that Janice technically owns the team. Just a little hyperbole for a Monday.
  8. How much money she still got? Asking for a friend. No really, she was the world's youngest female billionaire or some such. But it was all tied up in Theranos, right, or was it? I'm sure the government attached all her assets, right? How does any of this work? Splain it to me like I'm 5.
  9. Is Lovie fired yet this morning? And has Cal McNair sold the team to competent ownership? Let me know when these two things occur, then I can raise my level of give a shit about the Texans to tepid.
  10. No, no , no. The complete irony of the statement is way richer than the actual facts.
  11. What happened to that poor lady’s arms?
  12. What and when is the next milestone in this mission?
  13. I think I see an effective strategy emerging for Texas.
  14. Can the Astros get by without Josh James?
  15. I wouldn’t leave the non alcoholic version to age for a month or six weeks. I wouldn’t drink it at that point.
  16. It’s a lease dude.
  17. 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!
  18. Really want to see this thing (and my tax dollars) get off the ground.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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
  22. I bet the cash spends better than the giant check.
  23. Saw all those guys two weeks ago in Houston. Very sad.
  24. D looks pretty salty tonight.
  25. Odd. Wonder if something is wrong?
