  1. Big ol' glob of storms forming from Rocksprings to Llano on the radar right now. Looks to slowly creep east and drop a bunch of rain over the lakes and Greater Austin area between 9 pm and 2 am.

  2. On the topic of morning vs. evening workouts, I'm probably a bit weird in that I do both during an average week. 

    MON-TUE: cardio and lifting at office gym in the evening.

    WED: cardio and lifting at neighborhood YMCA in the morning. Usually hardest work out of the week.

    THU: rest day from lifting but evening cardio session at office

    FRI-SAT: morning cardio and lifting at YMCA

    SUN: Nothing.

  3. Made a short trip up to my lease on Friday. Main point of the trip was to load up my buddy's UTV on Saturday morning and take it in to finally get serviced, but decided I would try to get in a pig hunt on Friday evening since we have 1 feeder running at the moment. Let's just say that did not go as planned. Was miserably hot, but I grabbed my little portable fan, stuck 2 ice cold beers in my backpack and headed down to the stand.  Opened the door and saw 2 active wasp nests, at least 2 dozen daddy longlegs crawling around and a small scorpion on the inside of the door. Needless to say I decided to pass and headed back to the cabin. Set off a few bug bombs in that stand and another nearby before leaving.

    Roughly 12 years ago, when my wife and I were still just dating, we were on a long drive back home after spending the week at her family's timeshare in PCB. Somewhere in fucking Alabama, my wife says we  should stop for lunch and try this BBQ place her family always stopped at on their drive back to Baton Rouge. We get there and the first thing I notice after stepping out of the car is the complete absence of the smell of smoke. The above would likely have been a vast improvement.  Blandest, most laughable excuse for BBQ I've ever  had the displeasure of eating. I swear to god, the sausage was just store-bought party links stewing in generic BBQ sauce in a crock pot. I've never been so angry at a meal in my life.

  5. A&D market has come back to life with several multi-billion$ deals announced in the past few days. 

    EOG making a big bet in the Utica, buying Encino and 675K acres for $5.6B

    Viper (Diamondback's mineral-owning subsidiary) is buying Sitio Royalties for $4.1B.

  6. Long time no post in this thread. Couple things I've been enjoying lately:

    New solo track from Fugitive. Sidenote: As a huge Power Trip fan, I wish they'd finally go ahead and decide what they're doing. Either be a new iteration of Power Trip, or move forward as Fugitive. Don't just release an occasional single as one band and play legacy shows as the other. Put out a goddamn album as one or the other!

     

    New single out from overdue upcoming album form Byzantine. Always have a hard time defining this band. Proggy technical metal-adjacent? Whatever they are, I dig it. Anyway, I love the intro riff and the bridge + solo at 3:17 is killer.

     

    And finally Urne, another proggy metal band I can't really describe. After I heard this song I had to dig deeper and most of their older stuff is pretty much just straight Helmet knock-offs. Then they hooked up with Joe Duplantier form Gojira to produce their most recent album and found a new gear.

  7. Anyone else feel like thus far this team is the Bizzarro World version of the '23 Astros?

    2023: The worst good (on paper) team. Plus offense, mediocre pitching. Elite on the road, below mediocre at home. Extremely un-clutch. If it's late in the game and we don't already have a lead, we ain't winning. 

    2025: The best bad (on paper) team. Mediocre offense, plus pitching. Kings of Daikin Park, peasants on the road. Comebacks and walk-offs galore.

    Who/when did Framber tie for fewest pitches in a CG?

    something Niekro in the 70s/80s?

    Darryl Kile, 1993 no-hitter (almost PG) vs. NYM. 9 IP, 83 pitches, 1 BB, 0 H, 1 unearned run.

  9. Yainer just had the game of a Catcher's lifetime. 9 innings of your starter tying the franchise record for fewest pitches in a CG. Gun down the likely go-ahead run in the 9th with a laser throw to 3B, then come up in the bottom and hit a walk-off HR.

    Deposit paid. Delivery sometime next week after they finish doing the full service tune-up and getting through the Memorial Day weekend glut of deliveries.

    Wrapped up the sale yesterday. Delivery tomorrow morning. Looking forward to tooling around the neighborhood this weekend once the weather clears up.
