  1. anyone know a good trolling motor guy in Austin/highland lakes area? I think it's just the gps fob (Motorguide), as one of the batteries had a rust stain on it. can only get it to turn left, but there's also a random waypoint I accidentally found by hitting something on the number pad and it suddenly wanted to get there real bad...while on the trailer in my driveway. Thanks. -w
  2. good job, man. right there with you on racing vs race culture. I did Lajitas a few times, plus the Mas-o-Menos 100k (50k for us singlespeeders), as much for the road trip as anything. plus a couple localer races. good times. but you'd these guys who would get all upset. 'hey, man. don't get pissy with me. I'm in line behind these roadies who can't handle a pretty simple step-up, just like you.' I was searching back through my Strava for the South Boundary Trail ride I did some years ago, and it was kind of telling how much my rides have decreased in length, lately. used to be like 10mi, minimum. now 10mi is like an epic. my fitness decline was very much on display this week at Angel Fire, with Your Mom. was gonna do the climb from the highway up 76 to Osha Pass, but my legs were done from 2 days of downhilling. so I came home a day early. weather forecast was sketchy, anyway. they're getting a decent monsoon, this year.
  3. let's not forget what kind of scumbags putin surrounds himself with. they're all in for a penny, in for a pound. if it wasn't for the nukes, I'd be hell yeah, do it. but it also sets a bad precedent, that could domino very quickly.

  5. obviously, wives are just better at multi-tasking
  6. surl gonna surl. can't remember if it ever got settled, but iirc, hinged bread makes it not a sandwich. wasn't worth digging that up again or having some effete coonass go off over minor violations of cajun cuisine. anyway, this thread was near the top, which served my lazy nature---which fits this thread. so...congrats, I guess, thread cop.
  7. crawfish po'boy on toasted hoagie (simulated baguette). swiss hinge. dressed.
  8. you've obviously not met Ojo irl
  9. I do something similar with pepperoni. cut in half, the lay them out on doubled/folded paper towel, then on foiled tray in the toaster oven. set it to dark toast and the come out nice and crunchy in just a few minutes with basically zero cleanup except the paper towels. if your toaster oven gets above 450deg, you might want to back it off a bit. or try parchment paper, if you're scared.
  10. maybe it depends on your perspective. if from behind, it's n*dist; if frontal, nidist (or nIdist, depending on circumstances).
  11. the inevitable blood blister from using needle-nose pliers.
  12. really enjoyed that. Thanks.
  13. I heard they're 10% off at the Walmart in Branson
  14. locodos is the Rudy Ray Moore of mountainbiking
  15. one day, this is going to go very wrong. in the meantime
  16. that's awesome! are you actually flycasting? I went to a TPWD expo in Athens years ago and there was a carp specialist who gave a presentation. he essentially just stalked fish in flats and dangled some kind of cockroach-looking fly in front of them. barely casting, if at all. something new (to me) this summer on "buck" is catfish on the surface, esp from my sailboat, like they're curious about my boat. they get close enough to make eye contact. saw one from the power boat at a distance yesterday, but it was mostly a family swim trip, and my trolling motor fob batteries were flaking when I tried to chase some popping bait.

    Whatcha reading?

    I reread Endurance about six months ago. really not all that nautical. it's just a truly great story about the toughest group of men I've ever heard of.
  18. Operatuh, can you help me place this call...
  19. off topic: who was that Texas baseball player that had Prison Sex as his coming to the plate music, several years ago?
  20. the subject of MC Escher came up a few weeks ago on a family vacation, and I remembered I had a big book of his work that my aunt had given me, when I was a kid. when we got back, I took it out for my kids to look at. of course, they just left it lying around, so when I went to put it back, I flipped it open to a random page and found these. I must have stashed them in the book to protect them when I moved out to go to school. they don't hand out shit like this at gas stations anymore.
