  1. Past hour
  2. Lost in the Arch vs Quinn's wheels discussion was Kurt Bohls asking DeAndre Moore how he would describe Arch's balls. It's at 13 seconds.
  3. I think Flaco Jimenez counts as a celebrity.
  4. Beating Joey douchebag would be glorious. Those myopic morons think they’re winning the whole thing this year.
  5. Lake, big lake.
  6. That’s a beauty! Making my hands itch to just try it out. Congrats
  7. God damn, I had to put our yellow lab down yesterday. I idolized my father but somehow I think I shed a few more tears for the dog? I think it’s because I know how deeply it affected my kids. Thanks Dad, I have a much greater appreciation for all the shit you had to do that I never gave a second thought about. RIP Kodi, you were such a sweet guy.
  8. Entertaining episode, but 100% pre planned made for TV. I’m not even sure the cut on the guy’s head was real.
  9. I need to designate a POA agent as I have no co ract with blood relatives. I wouldnt trust them to make decisions in my best interests. Ant recs please dm me.
  10. My weeds are looking fantastic right now. I can only get to the garden to do any work on weekends, and these stupid grasses that pop up can grow quite a bit in 5 days.
  11. Certainly, he's transparent. That's the horrific part.
  12. KUT is literally the only ota radio I listen to. Your assessment is absolutely laughable.
  13. What’s dumbass about that?
  14. There is light at the end of the tunnel for golfers who desire to improve but haven’t been able to do it. Here’s how. I’ve been playing golf for 50 years. My first lesson was with Harvey Penick and Ben Crenshaw at Mo Willie. However, over the years I only played a few times a year, went to the range a few times a year, and took a few lessons here and there sporadically. As a result I always struggled. In my 40’s I finally got down to a single digit handicap. However I had grooved a flawed swing. So I could never improve from that. Then, in 2015, I experienced a number of injuries that kept me out of the game until 2021. Once back, I still didn’t improve and had lost my single digit handicap. It was bad. Breaking 100 became a challenge. Finally, in 2024, about a year ago, I finally said “enough”. I was either going to fix my game once and for all, or quit. So I tore my swing down to the beginning, and began taking a few lessons from various folks in Austin. None of the instructors helped much at all. That was really frustrating. But in parallel I did two things. I joined an online golf service to finally really learn about the golf swing. And I joined an indoor golf simulator service to get feedback from a Trackman device on my swing. I also started playing more regularly, once or twice a week. Last week I finally broke 80 for the first time in a long time, and followed that up with a 39 on 9. My handicap has dropped from 20 to 12 and I’m on my way to an 8 or better. I’m confident I’ll get there. So what have been the keys so far? 1. Learn everything you can yourself about the golf swing. Amazingly over 50 years I never really understood what causes hooks, slices, etc. I didn’t understand how the wrists should move in the swing. I didn’t understand swing planes. I was an idiot. I relied on instructors, but most instructors aren’t very good. 2. Practice, obviously, but get feedback from a simulator. It will tell you things an instructor alone can’t. 3. Work on all four parts of the game, or one part will kill your rounds: putting, chipping, irons, woods. 4. Be patient. I still have WTF moments and completely lose my swing every few days. I’ll go to the range and hit like a beginner. While I understand the golf swing much better, I still can’t diagnose which of the 40 different swing factors has gone wrong to ruin my swing on any given day. I hope to have that figured out in the next few months, though. That’s the last key piece. Because when I’m on, I am on! I just can’t figure out how to get back on when I’m off. It’s 1.2 steps forward and one step back. Good Luck!
  15. View from morning coffee with the wife. Salsbury cove, in front of our cottage. Lobstermen checking their pots on a falling tide.
  16. At least include a candidate's age on the ballot.

  18. Pondering it a bit, PBS, being non-profit, is missing the profit incentives that make other media complete shit. You could argue that private sector could/should produce such a thing on its own. But the empirical "data" suggests otherwise.
  19. BTW, Kreul is pronounced "Krell" as I understand it. Krell is what Ozzy Osbourne and David Lee Roth called cocaine back in the late 70s when VH was touring and opening for Black Sabbath. Ozzy and DLR would have "Krell wars" to figure out who could do the most coke. I'm not saying that Jake Kreul is similarly cocaine-infused, but it would explain a lot about his social media. Still, I'd be happy to have Mr. Cocaine as a longhorn.
  20. That's how I feel every year there is no obituary... For Jerry or me, either one. Well except to @markstanco's point, January of 2024, I officially bailed from Cowboy fandom. When they didn't fire fathead Mike and said Dak was the guy... yes, THOSE were the straws... after decades of bullshit.
  21. Our message walking out if the shoe
