  1. This is similar to mine. I have ethernet and coax basically throughout the house. You just need to find out how the incoming signal ties into the junction box in your closet. In my case, for internet, the xfinity installer just connected the incoming line at the junction box to the xfinity modem. I then connected the 8 or so ethernet cables that are connected to tvs and other devices in my home to a switch that is connected to the modem. I could do something similar with the coax cables. I could install an HD antenna and run it to the incoming signal female connection at the box. Each room in my house has a female coax connector.
  2. Is he skipping The Masters?
  3. Especially Captain Crunch or Quisp.
  4. I may be in the minority, but I like OF 1920 way more than 1910. Not even close. 1910 has a medicinal hit that I can’t abide.
  5. Keep your homeowners insurance current and get an umbrella policy or don’t let other kids use your pool. Sucks that that’s the case but diving boards and slides are accidents waiting to happen. When I had my pool I had to tell my agent whether I had a slide or a diving board.

  7. Nevermind. Fubo carries two ATT Sportsnet channels. I thought one was for Dallas teams but I see they still use Fox Sports SW. Fubo is a solution for watching the Astros and Rockets.
  8. Try Fubo. 7 day free trial. $65 per month.
  9. “Wonderful thing a subpenee”. “Do you think you have a case? Make it. It’d be good practice.” One of my favorite Newman movies as well.
  10. Rained out again today in Houston. This is getting old. I haven’t played 18 holes on firm fairways in about 6 weeks.
  11. Except for some .375 bottles, Weller SR is out at GG on Woodway. GG had a bunch a week or two ago. Crazy times.
  12. No Weller SR at the Memorial/Westcott or the Spring Valley locations. They said it’s been a while since they had any.
  13. Why didn't he just kill the two fucking fire ants?
  14. Been meaning to post this damn near word for word. In addition to Motown I also love the late 70's early 80's funk. This modern shit is just awful.
  15. IIRC, the US flag should be higher than a state when they are flying on the same flag pole. I’ve never seen a state flag, even a Texas flag, flying above the US flag.
  16. It’s never going to stop raining in Houston.
  17. I have a good friend who is a green freak so he installed a system on his renovated house. He spent around 30k after tax. He loves it during sunny days when he can go to his phone and see the credits build up. He doesn’t seem to know, or care, about the payback. My question is whether these things ever make sense economically. My home is 3,900 sq ft and very well insulated with 2 efficient AC units. My worst bill in the summer is about $280 and it’s like $60 in the winter. Can you actually make money generating power during certain times?
  18. Sorry if it was mentioned but what grade of meat are you smoking? I get good results with choice or better. Select grade can be dry.
  19. I cook fat side down in my egg. +2 on the part about making sure you keep plenty of water in the drip pan. And make sure not to trim too much fat from the flat part of the brisket. I tend to err on the side of more fat than less. I cook hotter than most (around 300) and the flats of my briskets are not too dry.
  20. That's pretty much my experience with the bourbon guys at that GG, but they are nice guys and I always ask if they have anything nice in the back. It's been a while, but I've scored W12 there as well as W107.
  21. Yes, I know the store fairly well. I bought W12 there last summer the day it was released. The guy behind me bought the last bottle. Lately I’ve been going more to GG on Woodway across from Second Baptist.
  22. I drive by it every day on the way home from downtown. For grins, I will go by this evening. I can always use another handle of Weller SR.
  23. I’ve seen it at GG lately but not at Spec’s downtown.
  24. That actually would be interesting. I’ve done blind tastings and it’s amazing how the label affects our taste. I have been unable to tell Weller SR from Weller 12 in a blind tasting. I’m convinced that a lot of Weller SR is being sold on the secondary market in a Weller 12 bottle. I’m sure someone has figured out how to reseal the bottles. I hardly ever see Weller SR at Spec’s. Last week the guy just laughed when I asked if he had any Weller SR in stock.
  25. I was almost hit by a train crossing a double tracked railroad crossing in high school. It was late at night and I saw a train coming very slowly from the west. A cross road was parallel to the tracks so I decided to take a left and cross at the next crossing before the train made it there. All of the lights were flashing but this was before all the tracks had cross arms. I never thought to look east for a train coming from the east on the other track. As I crossed the track the engineer lays on the whistle. It was going about 40 and missed me by about 30 feet.
