  1. The photo of Joey Aboussie is from high school - Wichita Falls High 1969 State Champs.
  2. 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.
  3. I assume he’s talking about one of the Katy/Fulshear type of groups. BW8@I10 is not west of Houston anymore.
  4. What did Manfred do to Oakland? Not familiar with their situation.
  5. @Goofyboy is there a particular group you like to ride with?
  6. Just go to Church’s for the best chicken breast strips and gravy.
  7. Is that GWH Bush Park by chance?
  8. Man I miss the trade deadline magic in the Luhnow years.
  9. Holy sheeet Trish and Darin at the Gingerman. A whole section of my life just flew before my eyes.
  10. Back in the day when it was just the place on Barton Springs the margaritas made ladies clothes fall off. But the food sucked.
  11. Any of the Astros pitchers starting for the Hooks tomorrow night?
  12. Cycling is much more quad specific than running. Look at the world class cyclists then the distance runners. The burn should go away in time.
  13. Yep that’s where cycling is different than running.
  14. You might also look for a group ride to go out with, to help you learn some of the do’s and don'ts of road riding. Hang at the back and watch what they do and how they interact. My current favorite thing about riding is the group I ride with.
  15. @Basil I’ve done both of those things. Knees are gone now so no more running for me. Your lungs should translate over. The leg muscles don’t exactly match up but you should adjust fairly quickly. What others have said is true. All the points at which you touch the bike need to be carefully adjusted. A thirty minute run translates to a two hour ride, so you find areas of your body that hurt that didn’t running, like your lower back for instance. You just need time in the saddle.
  16. It’s too bad the egg roll stands on the drag got busted.
  17. The boating accident occurred at 5:30 am in the dark so they were probably just heading out. Ship was inbound in the channel. I’m sure @justhookit has the most details. Alcohol unlikely. Sad deal.
  18. You talk about tax rate as a criteria. By that I assume you mean property tax rate rather than income/sales taxes. We have lived in Texas and Colorado. Your $1.5-2.5MM property investment in Colorado is cheaper in the long run than Texas for sure. Don’t know about the other options.
  19. The logistical effort to organize and effectively manage 5000 (or whatever) crews coming from all over country to get out to work on individual projects is immense. Seems like they should have a playbook for that and maybe have war-gamed that situation ahead of time. But what do I know.
