  1. I see LA has an "extreme heat" warning today. High of 90, low of 66, low humidity. LOL. That's considered almost an ideal day in May in TX.
  2. Currently not bad by late-August standards. Hot and sunny today through Monday, but a little lower humidity than usual. Forecast has us shifting to slightly cooler conditions (highs in the low 90's vs. mid to high 90's) starting Tuesday, which is right around average for this time of year.
  3. TPWD Dove Season Forecast looks promising:
  4. Almost came home from vacation with a new acoustic. Just got back from visiting my wife's best friend in Colorado. Her dad passed about a month ago and one of the things she brought back from his house was a very good condition 1998 Taylor 710-CE (similar one pictured below). I played it a bunch while there and asked what she was planning to do with it. She didn't know yet or have any idea what it was worth. I showed her the make and model number on the tag inside the body and sent her a bunch of links to what they sell for in stores. Followed up with what I considered a very fair offer, which was significantly higher than 2 lowball offers she'd already received. She's gonna take some time to think about it, but she told my wife she'll probably end up selling it to me. Fingers crossed.
  5. Damn, tragic final year of his life. "Parted ways" with Mastodon after 20+ years and spent the last few months trashing his former bandmates.
  6. September 4 it is.
  7. Some great stuff from the games in there, from the slow-mo bullet shots to The Ghoul just hauling ass upon encountering a Deathclaw. A video game adaptation is obviously done well when both someone that has played the entire franchise (me) and someone who has never played or even seen a second of the games (wife) seem to enjoy it equally.
  8. Here's an outline of the property involved based on that thread:
  9. I'm planning an Academy trip this weekend. Gotta get my annual super combo, duck stamp, couple boxes of regular shells and some steel shot. Have a dove hunt set for 9/4 and then a teal hunt on 9/26. Popped up to my lease the Saturday before last to do some work and while there, we went ahead and partially filled 2 feeders and started running them just once a day in the evenings. Only took about 24 hours for deer and hogs to start showing up routinely at sundown. Getting lots of camera action the past 10 days. I'm so ready for Fall.
  10. Gamescom '25 started out with confirmation that Silksong is finally releasing this year. Developers are streaming a "special announcement" tomorrow, which is widely expected to be an official release date. For the uninitiated, Silksong is the sequel to Hollow Knight, one of the most successful and beloved indie games of all time, developed by a team of just 3 guys in Australia. It originally was planned as a DLC expansion to HK, but the developers raised a ton of Kickstarter money and decided to make it a full sequel. That was in 2019. A teaser trailer was released back in 2022, and since then there has been almost complete radio silence from the developers. The rabid fanbase would get their hopes up for news at every single gaming convention, Nintendo direct showcase, Xbox Showcase...etc. and always be left disappointed. R/silksong has close to 175K members posting daily and it eventually became a meme that Silksong was simply a mass-delusion that didn't actually exist.
  11. Spent the past 8 days in Aspen area. Never got above 85 and humidity was usually around 15% in the afternoon. Typically high 50's on the short walk into town for coffee in the mornings. Almost every single one of my last 20+ meals were eaten outside. Current "feels like" in Houston is 101. Man this is rough to come back to after a nice vacation.
  12. Pretty obvious that Espada was unwilling to use Abreu or Hader tonight, no matter the scenario. Glad it worked out (just barely).
  13. 7-2 with 2 outs and no one on and scrub relievers give up HR, 2B, 2B, HR, 1B before finally heading into the dugout with a meager 7-6 lead. Pathetic.
  14. Historically speaking, tomorrow is the last day before the worm starts to turn ever so slowly, at least in regard to average daily highs and lows. From 7/29-8/12, we're at the peak daily average of 96/77 (this is for Houston). Typically, that drops to 95/76 from 8/13-8/22, then 94/75 starting 8/23 and so forth. Over the next 3 weeks or so, we'll drop an average of 1 degree off the average high and low every 7-8 days, before speeding up to every 5-6 days once we get into September.
  15. Just a brutal forecast. I hope I survive.
  16. Blubaugh pumping 97 and 98 on some big K's to end the past 2 innings.
  17. Haven't bought a new dress watch since buying my current TAG 7 years ago, but I've had my eyes on a Pepsi Tudor for a while and planning to finally pull the trigger later this year. I'd obviously rather have a Pepsi Rolex, but I've yet to achieve Surly 1% status.
  18. LOL. Weather.com really phoning it in today.
  19. W #63. A 100-loss season is officially off the table.
  20. Rain and clouds keeping it well below 90 in H-town today, but we're in for a long stretch of the suck. High pressure heat dome looking likely to settle in over the state for the next 10-15 days.
  21. Man, I'm getting to the point of the Summer where I'll be happy just to see a day on the forecast where the low is even 2 degrees less than the day before. Every single day in the current 14-day outlook for Houston is a high between 92-96, high humidity, and a low of 78 or 79. Groundhog Day weather, where it's just the same day over and over and over. Really looking forward to my upcoming trip to Colorado the week after next. That first evening in town at sunset and it's in the 50's after flying out from a heat index over 100 is one of life's great pleasures.
  22. Holy crap, just saw a stat that we're 36/199 with RISP (.181) since the LAD series. No wonder we're 7-14 since then. Can that possibly be correct?
  23. Through 2 losses: 4 runs off 21 hits and 8 BB, 3 of which came off 2 swings by Walker. Watching this team since 7/6:
