  1. You pretty much have to pay for anything worth a shit, just like with the rest of the things in this world.
  2. Happy 24th anniversary of the Memorial Day Miracle. This is probably the most important single shot in Spurs history!
  3. Like I said when it was mentioned in another thread, a guy I work with has a son that was on that trip. It’s been pretty traumatic for this kids as one would expect. I did some pretty stupid shit when I was a teenager, but jumping off of a cruise ship at night wouldn’t have even registered as something to do for me. I feel badly for his family.
  4. The CPC is hinting at some possible excessive rainfall for the second week of June.
  5. A guy I work with has a son that was on that trip. There are some rumors that the kid was suicidal as well. At any rate, it’s awful for that family.
  6. I can tell you that I would vote for any service member to never again face someone willing to kill them.
  7. @miguelito, did you get washed away? I saw a FF warning for Boerne.
  8. Your dad can be added to The Wall if you really wanted him to.
  9. I couldn’t tell what she was saying.

    That place is awesome. They have what are probably the best enchiladas in Houston.
  11. I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story! What a great fucking lyric! I'm in a Wharf Rat mood tonight! My favorites are 7/7/89 and 5/28/77.

    Shut up liver, you're fine! Here's to getting a 3 day weekend started off right!
  13. This is my 8th generation Grandpa. He was head of the Austin Colony militia and had a feud with Sam Houston. If he hadn't been murdered, he might have led the Texas army in the revolution. Kuykendall, Abner (ca. 1777–1834).Abner Kuykendall, Austin Colony pioneer, son of Adam and Margaret (Hardin) Kuykendall, was probably born in Rutherford County, North Carolina in 1777. The family was in Logan County, Kentucky, by 1792 and moved on to the Arkansas territory about 1808. Abner married Sarah (Sally) Gates. The number of their children has been reported variously as nine and twelve. With his brothers, Abner left Arkansas Territory for Texas in October 1821, probably in company with his father-in-law, William Gates. At Nacogdoches they were joined by another brother, Robert H. Kuykendall, Sr., and the three brothers were among the first of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists. Abner commanded the militia of Austin's colony. Robert and a brother, Joseph, settled near the later site of Columbus on the Colorado River, but Abner and Thomas Boatwright moved ten miles west of the Brazos and on January 1, 1822, established a settlement on New Year Creek. Sarah Gates died about 1823. Abner never remarried. In November 1823 Abner Kuykendall moved back to the Brazos and settled about eight miles above San Felipe. He received title to 1½ leagues and two labores of land now in Fort Bend, Washington, and Austin counties on July 4, 1824. The census of March 1826 classified him as a stock raiser and farmer, a widower aged over fifty. A grown son, Barzillai Kuykendall, was another of the Old Three Hundred. In July 1824 and May 1826 Kuykendall went on campaigns against the Karankawa, Waco, and Tawakoni Indians. In 1827 he was sent by Austin as a member of a delegation to try to persuade leaders of the Fredonian Rebellion to give up their plans. During the rebellion he was detailed by Austin to patrol the Old San Antonio Road to watch for possible Indian invasions. In 1829 he led a scouting expedition from the Brazos to the mouth of the San Saba River. In 1830 he went to Tenoxtitlán to confer with Mexican authorities about Waco depredations and in the same year served on a committee at San Felipe to superintend the building of a jail. He was a public official at San Felipe in February 1832 and at the time of the Anahuac Disturbances led a party of from forty to sixty men to assist the Anahuac citizens. Kuykendall was stabbed at San Felipe in June 1834 by Joseph Clayton and died in late July. Clayton was convicted and hanged in what was probably the first legal execution in Texas. Abner Kuykendall's grave has never been found.
  14. And tonight is for the 46th anniversary of one of my favorite shows, 5/26/77 from the Baltimore Civic Center in Baltimore, Maryland. It's a great listen no matter what WTB says.
  15. It’s nice if you’re with a lady, but ain’t no good if you in the jungle.
  16. Some weather models are indicating we may have another rainy week ahead.
  17. Yeah, the second set is pure fucking smoke!

    Tex Mex

    Dude just read my mind!!! The carne guisada at Alfredo’s is top notch! El Rancho in Burnet has some damn fine salsa.

    Tex Mex

    Pretty much the entire Metro Austin area would make that list. It’s mind bottling that a big city so close to San Antonio can have worse Tex-mex than little towns like Burnet and Kingsland. It’s embarrassing really.
