  1. Thanks for the replies, guys. A little info I didn't share earlier, we were friends before I went to work there. I have known the family and all of his siblings (co-owners as well) since we were all highschoolers. It makes this all a little more personal than a typical boss/worker relationship. I doubt that it changes the dynamic much but what do I know.
  2. Dayton Moore being involved, you are likely correct. I won't say for sure until I see who the PTBNLs are. There are quite a few good arms in the Royals minor league system. I don't see the need for the cash from BOS unless they are giving up one of them. That will piss me off.
  3. Now this, this is funny.
  4. No shit
  5. Guess who dislocated his middle finger wiping his ass. Yeah, this guy did. Only the tip. Hurts like a mother. Looks like I better go get a bidet. I'll have to use my left hand in the meantime. Awkward.
  6. I'm back. One of the owners of the place I work is going into rehab in Wimberly next week. Not sure how they landed on that facility other than his son lives in the Bee Cave area. It's a long way from home and his wife... I plan to go back and read this entire thread over the next few days but would y'all give me the Cliffnotes on being helpful and supportive through this. Any thoughts on the facility? Good choice? I'm at the point that it doesn't matter as long as he sees and admits the need to seek help and not listen to those that want to maintain the perfect veneer. That hasn't worked. Thanks in advance.
  7. Watts this, Bossy?
  8. ^^^ Yes, he was way too young. Former Shocker and one of my favorites from the Smithson/Fogler transition years. I know he had Covid earlier but it still seems sudden.
  9. It's really easy to remember. One is a shithole with no redeeming qualities and the other is stuck in Kansas.
  10. Nope. This one is in Texas. People get them confused all the time.
  11. Thanks for the bump. I'm a normie, of sorts, but You guys help me keep my head on straightish. Carry on.
  12. Not a PF tune necessarily but it's close enough for gov't work. I had forgotten about this from years ago and remembered it earlier today. Rick Wright's keyboards and DG's guitar work were meant for each other.
  13. I haven't seen the show but I read the article. You are absolutely correct. Well worth the time it takes to read it. BTW, our current rec choices suck. I want to thank you for your post but all I can do is like it. I don't do "hook'em" because I'm not a Texas alum or fan. I have noting against UT.
  14. It's probably safer than Covid vaccine. JK, I'm getting the shot this week. Maybe. I hope
  15. I figured that the jaw-mung would generate enough heat to keep things clear. I have a sad.
  16. She lurks here. If she wants it out there, she can post it.
  17. Shit, Brisket, I'm in the same boat. My daughter is having ACL surgery in Kyle next week and there isn't a damn thing I can do to help. Your post hit close to home. Quick story. Her Freshman year of HS she performed this song at a talent show, dressed just like Dorothy, and knocked it out of the park. I always knew she had a good voice but that was the first time I knew she had a great voice. She went on to do opera in Austin and now is part of a music school there. Whenever I get to missing her I play the freshman recording of her and get verklempt. I won't share her's but it sounds remarkably like Judy.
  18. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/01/how-do-wombats-poop-cubes-scientists-get-bottom-mystery?fbclid=IwAR1mwkdIjQPvqaOBy8Kp-Ll0kbA4WqMLSE8gCx-PhBTTQtFN6Ulo70XNxFU
  19. 4-Prongs makes it a manure fork. Probably still works in this case.
  20. So, I keep Flightradar24 up on one of my monitors all the time. I glanced over and saw that 2 planes were forming one blob directly over my hometown. I pulled up the data and saw that one was at 38,000 ft and the other at 36,000 ft. It appeared that their paths had to cross within less than 2 miles. By the time I got out of my office and looked to the west they were already separated by a good margin. @Bobby_Batronic@DaysOff or any of the Surly pilot mafia, was that closer than normal or common as hell?
  21. Guys! Guys! They're even whiter now!
  22. When I had a patella tendon repair for a torn ACL back in the 70 s, all of the surgeons tools were Craftsman. I was groggy but alert enough to see he raided my toolbox.
  23. Golf only for this cart but we do play almost year round. A buddy has a new EzeGo with factory lithium batteries and I can't tell any difference when it's cold. I suppose if you are going more than 4 hours or so it could be a factor.
  24. Yeah, I don't see livers and hearts on his list of choices. Tragic oversight.
  25. I wanted to play but this post stole all of my thunder. I'm like Jimmy because a song that hits me as perfect changes from day to day but these two never change for me.
