  1. Damnnnn... glad that one didn’t work out.
  2. My grandfather drove an M4 tractor onto Okinawa in WW2. I guess he was chosen because he was a farm boy and knew how to operate heavy equipment. He told me he thought he was going to drown at first because the entire thing went under water but he just punched it, the tires and tracks started grabbing, and he slowly made it ashore. The thing was made by Allis Chalmers and that’s the only tractor he’d ever buy when he came back from the war. Also had had one of my old Captains ( I’m in a large metro fire Dept) tell me a story about his dad who landed on Omaha Beach but rarely talked about it. He took him to see Saving Private Ryan at the theatre. This man was in his 80’s at the time hadn’t seen a movie theater in 40 yrs. He wasn’t prepared for how real the opening scene would feel with the new technology in sound systems today. He told me after the opening scene his father had tears in his eyes and would later tell him that he could smell gunpowder and rotting flesh as he was sitting in that theater. Still gives me chills to think about it. Both of them are gone now, but I hope series like BOB will make sure that their memories and experiences will never be.
  3. You guys looking for something for your mom? I really don’t think so, Sue.
  4. 5 medium tomatoes 1 sweet yellow onion 3-5 Serrano peppers with seeds handful of cilantro 2 cloves garlic 1lime comino(cumin to taste) salt place tomatoes, Serranos, and onion on outdoor grill and cook until skin is blackened squeeze the juice of one lime in the bottom of a blender, add garlic, cilantro, blackened veggies until it becomes as chunky or smooth as you like, add comino and salt to taste (note) I leave all the blackened skin on my veggies, I think it adds flavor.
  5. Just got back from Corpus before the Babes on the Bay madness hit. Had an outstanding day of fishing 26,23.5, and 22.5” trout and on the same shoreline limited out on reds. We threw 4 oversized back with the biggest being 33”. I’m too technologically disadvantaged to post pics.
  6. I’ve worked in San Antonio for over 20 years and grew up in a rural area just outside the city limits. There are cool places to live everywhere that are great for families, but it depends on what’s important to you. If proximity to downtown is important, Alamo Heights, Hill Country Village, Terrell Hills can all be good options. If you’re comfortable in a more rural area with access to all San Antonio has to offer but the ability to get away from the city when you go home, places like Boerne, Garden Ridge, Spring Branch, and even La Vernia out east could all be great options. I love it in this area, always something to do.
  7. I’m waiting at a light in a turn lane to get onto I10. It’s rush hour and I’ve had to wait two light sequences to get close enough to make the next light. An 18 wheeler pulls up in the lane next to me(not a turn lane) and when the light turns green makes a left hand turn cutting off everyone in the turn lane just so he didn’t have to wait like everyone else. I wanted to pull his ass out of his truck and light him on fire. What a fucking asshole.
  8. Anything by Sam Peckinpah should be on the short list. I celebrate his entire catalogue.
  9. Desperados waiting for a train, has always been my go to beer drinking song, makes me think of my dad.
  10. CSB, my first cousin had a song he played for these guys that turned into “Down Here”, he was a co writer. Also, Bird Hunters is amazing.
  11. I’ve had some luck wading Nueces bay closer to the Portland shoreline. Warning: it can get a little muddy.
  12. Renner was great! Very convincing in his role.
  13. Graham was so damn athletic when he signed, if he’s as big as advertised and maintained that athleticism, I expect him to start and wreak havoc.

  15. Awesome! If this is a weekly thing, paging Saban at the airport has to be on the next show. Great job BL, you didn’t disappoint.
