  1. Playing (and paying) at Dell Diamond is bullshit.
  2.

  3. Guaranteed a seat ? 😮 Mrs BGH and myself will be there. 🤘
  4. Maybe I missed it an earlier post of yours, but curious as to what your daughter wants to study/major in?
  5. Ate there soooooo many times growing up as it was a quick trip down Boerne Stage Rd from our house. Now they have one IN Boerne and the food there is just as good. 👍
  6. In the PNW, the only people carrying umbrellas are tourists. You have to learn to wear the right gear (waterproof jackets, wool, layering) and GET OUTSIDE no matter what the weather is. Merino wool sweaters were the standard for me when living up there for 25years. My best friend's daughter (architectural major) is also a sophomore at UO and loves it. But she is also a from WA st.
  7. *SPAM FIFY.
  8. I'm of legal age at least a couple of x's over....This 👇 should suffice.
  9. I still have 3 yrs of eligibility + around 90 hrs left on my Hazlewood Act account…. Might have to be like Rodney D and go back to school [emoji538]! [emoji12][emoji1598]

    Ichiro

    Loved watching him play...🇯🇵🇺🇸
  11. George Kooymans ? In between Ozzy and Hulkster. Yesterday from ALS
  12. 2nd gal in the bottom vid #4 knew the assignment, which might have been a better response... OR NOT.
  13. Been stuck lately at TCH with just being card dead for a month long number of sessions. One or two positive outings throughout the last couple of weeks but it has been a grind to get those. Wife had girlfriends over for a lunch/ pool date yesterday so I Finally took my own advice and decided to head back down to SA Card House (I hadn’t played there in almost a year) just to change things up. Grind continued and down like 400 within an hr due to some bad turns & rivers. Then slowly caught a few hands to get back to $300-350 and hovered there for a while… They have a number of promotions, and all days other than the high hand or Monte Carlo hrs they have a hot seat drawing at the top of odd hours. Roulette spin to pick the table and then a face up PLO hand to pick the player for the drawing. Our table won the 5o’clock roulette spin. For the PLO hand My cards started out bad with a 2, 6 unsuited and then 9sQs…flop had a straight draw but also 2 spades. 7s on the turn gave two players a straight but I had the only 2 card spade flush draw which held up. Payouts from the envelopes in the spinning raffle drum run from $50 (20 tickets) roughly doubling in value up to $5000 (2tickets left of the 5k after open hit on Saturday) Other than the 5k winner, every recent winner on the board had winning tickets of $50, so odds were not too great for a big payout. As I was walking over to the drum I was hoping to maybe pick one for 200 or 250 to just get back to even and go home. Spin the drum, reach in and grab an envelope. They were key size, so I initially had 3 in my hand and let two slide out, keeping the middle. Being just a tiny slip of paper, I thought the envelope was empty at first but when unfolding it I first saw the top of the 2 and a 5 and thought cool, there’s my $250, back to even, let’s go home! But then I saw the comma between the 25 plus two zeros after…$2500! Not too sure the regulars were happy with a new guy getting that payout, but a big smile from me to say the least. Got the cash, pic, and back to the table for about another hr, won a handful of pots to get back to my original buy in of 500 plus a couple hundred more. Not a super great table session but out the door for just over $2700 for 5 hrs on a Sunday. Mrs BGH thinks she gets half, but she never covers half of my losses. [emoji41]
  14. As far as searching/recovery, they wanted people with experience only as of Monday at Centerpoint VFD. Kerrville getting most of the press and federal teams is no doubt the same. 39 was closed off this past weekend to only LE, Task Force Teams or PROPERTY OWNERS. Might have changed since, but I doubt it. Too many bodies to be found and they want people that have done it before.
  15. Making this way too complicated. Guys (gals?) need a time and place to show up. Worked perfect in Wimberley.
  16. Yep. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Had a similar situation happen during the 2007 California wildfires (San Diego area). While other teams got de-mobilized after a week, we left SD and went north to the Indian Reservation outside of Temecula for our second week.
  17. That's right over Johnson City right now...pretty damn black over 281. Gonna be at my house shortly.
  18. Nevada's NV-TF1 has been activated also and should be in San Antonio (staging area) tonight.
  19. Mrs BGH just saw part of the FLTF1 (boat crews) passing through Dripping Springs this evening...
  20. This ^^^ You can hate on the bureaucracy/red tape BS (no matter what politico is in charge) but not on the teams themselves. The people know what they are doing and how to get it done. My daughter has lived in Mexico for the past 7 yrs and it's always a good time talking with fellow brothers when visiting down there. Early 2000's some of my department's reserve rigs and other equipment were driven down to Baja and donated to the Cabo FD.
  21. Wasn't just the boy counselors at La Junta that did such a great job, these two girl counselors are not getting enough love... And our fellow Bomberos to the south of us...
  22. A little more about the first crews on scene....2:44 of your time. Perfect responses regarding the team effort by all. Semper Paratus 🇺🇸 👏 (and in case you weren't aware, the rescue swimmers for TXTF-1 are civilian firefighters from throughout the state. Most from AFD & SA Fire, but also from Travis ESD's, Houston and Dallas. Though not as much as CG Rescue Swimmer, it's still an extensive process to become a swimmer for the Task Force. The Guard crews and aircraft are from Mabry (ABIA) and Martindale)
