  1. On the other hand, GOP folks keep crowing that we WERE energy independent under Trump (based on the same "net exporter" metric) but that Biden has crippled it. Trump lately has been dusting off the "we're gonna drill, baby, drill" line as one of the top priorities in his 2nd term. All of which is pretty fucking dumb given current production levels and import/export numbers. By and large, people outside the industry, both on the left and right, have absolutely no idea what they are talking about when mixing politics and O&G.
  2. Spandex, hair spray, men's makeup kit, and kilo of cocaine ordered separately.
  3. Silly new guitar day for me yesterday. I now have a dedicated "80's shredder." Jackson DKAM (Transparent Red) delivered yesterday. Been learning a bunch of cheesy 80's hair metal solos lately. Style of playing definitely calls for 24 frets and a double locking Floyd Rose. Maple fretboard plays quicker than the Pau Ferro on my PRS and the jumbo frets make for cleaner tapping.
  4. Seems highly likely that today will mark the first close for WTI above $80 since early November. Currently up $1.50 to $81.25 this morning.
  5. Looking for a new Astros hat for the season but coming up blank so far on what I want. Does anyone make a navy hat like this with the 80's logo and a white or orange rope?
  6. Never bothered me much as a younger man, but I've noticed the past 2 or 3 years that it takes me a solid week to get adjusted. Sleep has been all kinds of fucked up the past 3 nights.
  7. The 2 singles released from the upcoming new album by Gatecreeper are both bangers, IMO.
  8. It a appears that a healthy amount of rainfall is on tap for the 2nd half of the month, kicking off with a persistently rainy weekend ahead.
  9. Spring Break week at work when you don't have kids. Traffic on the way in to work is lighter than usual. Can park just about anywhere you want in the office garage. Office is extremely quiet. Useless weekly meetings cancelled.
  10. Solid jobs number in the February report, but wage growth was soft. U3 went up, but so did prime age population/employment ratio. Overheated January report revised down closer to initial expectations (both on jobs added and wage growth). I would assume pretty much exactly what Fed was looking to see this month after the January surprise. Markets believe a June rate cut is more likely than it was at 7:29 this morning.
  11. What it feels like in Houston this morning. Glad to be heading out to the Hill Country later this morning. Gonna be a very pleasant Spring afternoon as much drier air rolls in behind those showers.
  12. Wife and I gonna be passing through Luling tomorrow at lunchtime tomorrow. I know City Market is no longer considered a top tier BBQ spot, but I still enjoy popping in at least once a year. Brisket is extremely hit or miss, but their ribs are still worth the trip, and it's nice to be able to get more than enough BBQ for 2 people for less than $30 in this day and age. And you best believe I'm grabbing a couple bottles of sauce to go.
