  1. Wow, that is a lot of product. Hope he makes folks pay in advance.
  2. We've had around 3 inches so far this new year at our place between Menard and Eldorado. As our ranch foreman is fond of saying, "the place has it's Sunday suits on." There has been no livestock grazing there the past two years due to drought. Not sure if that will change this year.
  3. Too damn much salt on everything there.
  4. Great game tonight. Both teams/coaches have a lot of respect for each other. That was one hell of an at-bat by Flores to get that homer!
  5. You are not wrong. Pre-covid, I questioned what was driving market valuations, so I put together a small play portfolio in my non taxable accounts of stocks that had solid dividend histories. 75 percent of them stopped paying dividends. The valuation didn't change all that much. Crazy.
  6. Waikiki is basically Las Vegas with beachfront. There really needs to be some sort of licensing authority to permit whether the large European men and women are allowed to wear Speedos or bikinis there!
  7. Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head, obviously. Both are pretty cool. The remaining artillery batteries on Diamond Head give some perspective on what serving in WWII must have been like.
  8. One of the neatest things we did the last time in Oahu was to take a ride to their Chinatown mid-day. All of the fruit, veggie, and meat markets were very interesting. (I had my portrait taken with a whole pig!) Lots of fun restaurants where all that we could do was to point at the pictures on the menus. That would be a fun time for your kids.
  9. Loco Moco is the nuts. Spam Musubi from the convenience stores is a great thing to bring along on a road excursion.
  10. Happy hours at Dukes in Waikiki are a must. Live music, great drinks, and the very best calamari that you will ever eat.
  11. That Holiday Inn has been a blight forever, but I guess that it is still a cash machine for somebody.
  12. Yuck. Get well soon, Princess.
  13. That music is from Carl Orff's classic "Carmina Burana." The movement is "O Fortuna" Crazy conspiracy theory. Then I realized that it was you, Nicole! Carry on!
  14. More folks around Rainey Street to keep Nicole busy! 700 River Apartment Tower Celebrates Topping Out in the Rainey Street District https://austin.towers.net/700-river-apartment-tower-celebrates-topping-out-in-the-rainey-street-district/?pro=jude@towers.net
  15. David was a great guy. Got to know him some through Aquafest over the years. Many mutual friends who all thought the world of him. RIP.
  16. Every time I read this thread I am reminded of the importance of staying away from dealerships for non-warranty work. Those dealership all serve the most expensive "free" cups of coffee that you'll ever drink.
  17. That's a damn shame! Thanks for posting.
  18. I've been wondering about that, as well. The impact videos demonstrated that they had no lack of fuel. The ATC recordings indicated that English was not the pilot's first language. My guess is after he overran the runway the first time, he made the famous "impossible turn" and lost lift and control.
  19. I switched all of our cars to TollTag several years ago and could not be more pleased. Efficient and no fuck ups.
  20. Got it. This old hasn't been to one of those fast food places in 20+ years. If I'm desperate, I'll grab sushi at an HEB. Otherwise, I go sit at a restaurant bar and eat real food along with cocktails.
  21. Are you guys all poors? It sounds like it if your are bitching about prices at (checks notes) Wendy's?
  22. This aggression will not stand. Car crashes into North Austin pho restaurant https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/pho-van-austin-crash/269-7b8f0749-cfbd-4750-87e7-da1a8f0ea163
