  1. Apparently died in his sleep last night. Funny guy, a cheerleader for Houston and the Astros and well known in the sports and entertainment fields in the city.
  2. An electrician we have used before who installed outside up lighting for us. He charged $500 and it took him 4-5 hours. Jeyson Carrasco of Houston Northpoint Electric. Because it’s mounted next to and made a part of your electric panel make sure you use a master electrician.
  3. I live in East College Station(Katy) and we bought a portable generator after the freeze in 2021 when ERCOT screwed up. We have a dual fuel 9500 watt Westinghouse and had a transfer switch installed. It’s enough to run everything downstairs including A/C or heat. 5 gallons of gas will last around 16 hours and a bbq tank of propane will last around 12 hours. You do not need to run it continuously. It can be shut off for awhile and turned back on if the temperature gets too hot(or cold) for you inside. The generator is also remote start and stop.
  4. Just changed from Travelers to Farmers. Cars are about the same but house is $3900 per year cheaper--East College Station(Katy).
  5. I think I like this CDC fellow.
  6. Loved him and Walt Frazier as a kid.
  7. When my mother died, I insisted that my father get one and wear it. He did and he used it a few times when no one was around. I’m glad he had it.
  8. Also used primarily as a fullback for LA.
  9. Denon 3700h receiver as a pre/pro running through a Parasound A52 amp. ML Foundation 2s for the front, ML center, 2 Deftech subs, Deftech in walls for the rear, Oppo 205 universal dvd and LG C-1 all run through a Panamax line conditioner.
  10. Going to Jazzfest this weekend. Will definitely see the Foos and Neil Young plus a host of local acts. Really like Bonerama and Kermit Ruffins.
  11. Curb, then everything else ever made way below it.
  12. John Harris said that he likes Fisher better than Alt.
  13. The video card is shot. If you feel really handy, it can be replaced, but the cost, time and effort probably aren’t worth it with the amount of TV you get for your money these days.
  14. OTs and QBs breathe a sigh of relief throughout the league.
  15. Longtime afternoon broadcaster on 97.5 in Houston. He was only 59.
  16. Jay Smith would be an improvement.
  17. Platinum members are free. The card costs me $695 per year but I get a lot of benefits that offset most, if not all, of the cost. Guests are free if you spend $75,000 or more per year or the cost is $50 per guest access. The clubs are great, but like all airport clubs, they can get very crowded.
  18. BW got screwed
  19. Sorry. It was a joke. A famous line from the movie Marathon Man between Dustin Hoffman and Laurence Olivier.
  20. Is it safe?
  21. Ended its run after 29 years this week. Best sports journalism show on TV. Very expensive to produce and if HBO is done with it, it’s probably gone for good. I’ll miss it.
  22. 61 is the new 27. Andre, Tony Bourdain, Norm, Rowdy Roddy, etc.
