  1. That place was legit. Also had lots of interesting Mayan and Aztec soft core porn hanging on the walls.
  2. Don't forget about the Southside theater, which is now Blazertag. In addition to movies, the theater also served as a church for St. Catherine's of Sienna parish while the building funds were being raised and land was being acquired back in the early 80s. The was also a theater on Pleasant Valley.
  3. Need source for brisket and turkey for smoking at home. Gonna do em on the Big Green Egg. Thanks.
  4. Items I lightly traffic in have been way off since the pandemic hit. Large sporting goods items that are relatively expensive and hard to ship. Camper shells, Kayaks, and mountain bikes etc. I like to buy and sell camper shells that have some component that I like. I buy a shell take what I want clean them up, do minor repairs and then sell them again. Not too many good ones are coming up and some are just way too expensive. However, if you are willing to sit on one for a few weeks the market is there. Bikes are for shit right now. New Hobie kayaks are on back order all over the country/world. Nothing good going on there either. I don't really deal in these things for profit, its more of an exercise in constant upgrading to save money and occupy my time. Facebook marketplace seems like it sucks, was probably better before the pandemic.
  5. Seems like something Gordon Sumner would do.
  6. Where is the fun on that? But seriously, Catfish Parlor, Ben White.
  7. We did a 20' X 15' Ipe deck at our house back in 2013. Highly recommend. Looks good weathered and really good when I recondition it every couple of years. For the first few years I reconditioned every 6 months. Just a really great product.
  8. Tarantula Hawk user name checks out.
  9. They should set up a predetermined maximum string of games alternately played at each team's home park, where final victory can be attained by whichever team wins the majority of the predetermined maximum game number. Kind of like the World Series of Poker, but this would a "World Series of Baseball", as it were.
  10. I think the 1995 aggy game. Texas, after having been in A&M and Houston's shadows for a decade, seized the final SWC championship on visitor turf. It was a watershed event in the two different directions each program was on. A&M would go on to win the B12 title in '98, but even that had a loss against Texas and an embarrassing bowl loss. After '96, Nebraska would go on to win another MNC and another B12 Championship (against Texas). Their coach retired and some rules changed, so their eventual demise was not all on Texas' on the field domination. Plus they had 3 recent MNC's and one of the best teams of all time on their resume, plus a lot of other close calls for winning it all over almost a 20 year period. The writing on the wall was just not as apparent with Nebraska, but with aggy, you knew their time was over.
  11. Growing up in the 70's, this all seems vaguely familiar somehow. I don't think the cops are finished with this one. "Mrs. Columbo, is such a big fan of you work. Could you autograph this for her, it would mean so much. Thanks" "Oh, and one more thing, Mr. Baldwin"
  12. This. I am not saying it is not possible but you would have needed to have been significantly more overweight than you are/were in order to get most of that in fat loss in one week. In fact, this summer I had about a 3 week period where I lost about .5 LB/day and I am almost your same weight, although only 5'-11", but that was pretty hard core with no Alcohol, OMAD (a big ass salad), and a one hour walk every day (no other exercise other than PT due to injury rehab). Stay with it, 2/lbs per week would be sweet and you. When the weight loss really slows down, add some walking, something about the pace and lack of stress really helps more than more aggressive work outs.
  13. More like mistake free head coach selection. After wandering in the desert for 2 decades, Baylor's last three head coach hires have been solid. And yeah, I know Briles was/is a piece of shit and he ended up blowing the whole thing up again, but after that they gave the the job nobody wanted to an eventual NFL head coach and now Aranda. I think Sark will work out, but man what a road to get here , and here might not be where I think it is.
  14. Calling it now that Dallas Cowboys football team ends up with another Hershel Walker type trade out of all this. Minnesota won't fall for it again, but Jacksonville is ripe.
  15. Most science fiction(and fantasy) ends up looking cheap because it is generally so dependent on special effects and has to take some shortcuts on the day to day lives of the characters and their interactions in their built world and if you don't get it right it looks like it was done on a budget. One way to get over that is to get a big star or two. Star Wars had Alec Guinness, Alien had a whole cast.
  16. Great weather, too!!!
  17. We looked at Mr Tankless and they came recommended. Fair price, but we had too good of deal with purchasing on our own and using my business partner's nephew who is a licensed master plumber.
  18. For the freezer, I will take does over bucks any day.
  19. ...also graduate of Penn State spicing guild U.
  20. I that pronounced L -ingworth or 3-ingworth?
  21. Reading this thread made this song pop into my head, and now it will be in yours. Except for Ramjet, for who I am sure it plays on a continuous loop.
  22. The adventures of the Starship Enterpenis NC-17, boldly going where no man has gone before, at least not without dinner and drinks first.
  23. I feel your pain. I had climber's (aka golfer's elbow) elbow in both arms, but successfully rehabbed my right with an online upper limb control course. Not so lucky on the left...currently seeing a physical therapists for that one. Just started climbing again, but ridiculously easy routes which are taxing that left elbow plenty with the extra weight I have put on since my injury. FWIW, Dry needling has helped kick the healing into a much faster mode. go slow.
  24. Circulation feature is nice, but I'm not sure it is worth hassle of the extra piping you will need to do it correctly. We have a circulating model, but had to use existing pipes since we have a lot of concrete walls and 2nd floor deck is concrete as well. When on circulation it was never as good as what we thought it would be. We go through the same amount of propane with 4 people on the tankless as we used to go through with 2 people on the tank heater, so they are pretty dammed efficient, and with two teenage boys taking long soapy showers, we never run out of hot water. That being said, one could always up the wrap insulation on the tank and get that thing pretty close without all of the tankless issues and costs, even if you get a larger tank to ensure a large supply. You will also need to to do the the scale cleaning every couple of years on the tankless to prolong the life of the unit. i did not do that on my first tankless unit and it gave out after 15 years. There are subs that do nothing but install tankless, they can tell you what you need. Our tankless is inside and I always wanted it to be outside, until last winter.
