  1. 10 year old me had a huge crush on the Judd's (Naomi). Saw them at the Houston rodeo a couple of times in the late 80's, early 90's.
  2. Randy Rogers played from 7:30 until about 7:50. Willie played from 8 until about 9. George went on at 9:30. Played 4 songs after the encore, walked off the stage at 11:45. Was Amazing!
  3. SW has changed my Omaha flights 3 times since I booked them in February after we started 11-0. You gotta believe!! 😄
  4. My niece just accepted her offer of admittance to UT this morning after mulling it over, for far too long, with a few other schools! She's lived her entire life in College Station, with Aggie parents to boot, so I feel like my work here is done. 😀
  5. Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and Too Short at Round Rock Amp tonight.
  6. I was in Vegas in December and got a 12 oz Coors Lite in a plastic cup at the Caesars sports book bar for only $14.50, plus tip. Yeah, no more beers at the casino bar for me that trip.
  7. I booked my flight a few weeks ago and got my hotel and rental car on Thursday. Who's with me!?!
  8. It was a very moving experience. They had the recordings of the passenger's last phone calls to their families you could listen to. Gut wrenching. When I got home I watched the movie again about Flight 93. Those passengers are true heros. I can't imagine. "Flight 93 struck the ground at a 40 degree angle almost upside down, hitting right wing and nose first, at a speed of between 563-580 miles per hour. It was carrying approximately 5,500 gallons of Jet A fuel at impact." https://www.nps.gov/flni/learn/historyculture/sources-and-detailed-information.htm

    My first time to try Red Ash tonight and it did NOT dissapoint! I was able to snag a reservation for one, at the bar, about a month ago. I started with beef bone marrow. The bone marrow and the garlic bread to soak up the fatty juices stole the show. A must get. Then for my main I had Osso Buco Milanase with risotto and a pork/veal ravioli dish. For dessert I had the lava cake. Very large portions! 10/10
  10. That Round Rock tornado went right by my apartment. I picked a good night to have dinner downtown at Red Ash tonight!
  11. I went to the Flight 93 memorial after the West Virginia game in November. When that plane hit the ground it was like it vaporized, there was just a little debris and a crater left. The first responders on the scene were confused as there was really no evidence of an actual plane there. Scary stuff. Great memorial by the way.
  12. Went to The Shed on Saturday for lunch, did the call-in waitlist. Did not disappoint!
  13. This was a really great work trip, thanks for the great tips! I loved the small college town feel of San Luis Obispo and the surrounding area. I didn't do any winery's but went to a few local breweries, including Firestone Walker Brewery in Paso Robles. Palo Mesa Pizza - SLO Big Sky Cafe - SLO - Reuben Bubblegum Alley - SLO I spent my Saturday in Santa Barbara. Strolled down State Street for a good bit, went to the art museum. The weather was perfect and the seafood, excellent! Olsen's Bakery in Slovang on the way to Santa Barbara. Chad's Cafe in Santa Barbara - Huevos Rancheros Unfortunately the courthouse was closed, but I got a nice pic out front. Santa Barbara Shellfish Company - Sea Urchin Brophy Bros. at Stearn's Wharf - cold seafood combo Old Mission Santa Barbara Sunset on Arroyo Burro Beach Sunday I drove up to Big Sur and Monterrey. First stop was Morro Bay. Elephant seals near San Simeon Hearst Castle from a distance since it was closed. The drive through Big Sur country was unbelievable! I've never been there and every turn was jaw dropping. The pictures you see just don't do it justice. Ragged Point Pfeiffer Beach Bixby Bridge Stopped in Carmel by the Sea for a Triple D joint, From Scratch Restaurant. Extreme sausage biscuits and gravy. The 17-mile drive was incredible as well. Such a beautiful part of the country. Lone Cyprus Back near San Luis Obispo - Jocko's Steakhouse in Nipomo - Ribeye Madonna Inn - SLO Monte Cristo Old San Luis BBQ Co. - SLO - Tri-tip sandwich SloDoCo Donuts - SLO Pismo Beach Fish and Chips - fish tacos Splash Cafe - Pismo Beach - Clam Chowder Tognazzini’s Restaurant in Morro Bay - Barbecued Oysters and Oysters Casino Sunset at Montana de Oro in Los Osos Swordfish at Custom House in Avila Beach Gyro plate at Petra Mediterranean - SLO Just loved this part of California. Hope to return one day!
  14. Wasn't this guy shotgunning beers out of his shoe in Omaha last year? I think they showed him on TV.
  15. I just got flights for the championship series. I have not been since 2005. Looking forward to seeing the stadium. I was happy to see the championship series went back to Saturday, Sunday & Monday. Easier on the travel/work schedule.
  16. At the Round Rock Amphitheater. Who's with me?
  17. San Diego without a doubt #1. My sister lived there for 4 years when I was in high school. Skiing at Big Bear one day, going to the beach the next. Perfect weather, golfing at Torrey Pines. Would love to be able to afford to live there one day! 2. Denver 3. NYC 4. Chicago 5. Nashville
  18. I've only tried surfing once. Sounds like this might be a good spot to give it another go.
  19. Ahhhh, Citizen Kane. Very cool
  20. I'm heading to San Luis Obispo for 10 days on a work trip next week. It looks small and isolated but near the beach, so that has to be worth something. Anything I need to check out in the area? Places to eat? I thought I would drive down to Santa Barbara for the weekend when I am there.
  21. Had my 3rd and final Texas Cares blood draw yesterday. S protein antibody count is still 2500+ and still no prior infection. I had my booster on Nov.4th, full dose.
  22. So I should hold off for a bit with my trip to tour Chernobyl or naw? The pandemic already canceled this trip for me once back in April 2020. Now it's the Russians. FML
  23. Some of y'all didn't grow up drinking water out of a green hose in the front yard during the summer months and it shows.
  24. My buddy and his wife were in O'ahu last week and just happened to be in the area and decided to stop and watch the round of 32. He had no idea of who Kelly Slater even was, I wouldn't have either for that matter, but he got some good pics.
