  1. Should be fine on crawfish, but weather will be a crapshoot. Buddy of mine used to do a boil first Saturday of May. Some years it's 80 and perfect, some years it's the first weekend with heat index touching triple digits. Moved it to mid-April the last few years.
  2. Per beat writers: Walker is not going to travel home with the team on Sunday, but will stay in Florida taking AB's in minor-league games Saturday through Tuesday before returning to Houston. Should be available on Opening Day.
  3. Combining two recent McTaggart Tweets: Dezenzo is 3/4 today. He has probably played his way onto this team with a .415 batting average and 1.125 OPS.
  4. I guess I just don't see why this game tanked so bad. I've been having a grand old time. There's a ton of content as it appears I'm only about halfway through after playing for ~20 hours.
  5. I had my first batch on Sunday. Buddy grabbed 2 sacks from our mutual supplier that drives over from LA on the weekends. Decent size and not a lot of dead loss, but still close to $4/lb at the moment. I've read that catches were pretty light in late February/early March and demand has been sky high. Seafood markets I keep an eye on have been selling out real quick and still having days where they don't get any at all. Luckily it sounds like things have been picking up lately.
  6. All depends on the size/quality IMO. Their regular ol' sliced bread sandwiches are typically $5-7 and nothing to write home about. If they can make a legit Italian sub or Cuban sandwich on good bread for $9.50, I'll buy occasionally.
  7. Slight mystery at HEB this morning. Just saw this new sign over near where they sell pre-made salads and soups. Looked around a bit and didn't actually see any of these sandwiches anywhere. Checked HEB website and not finding anything that matches. There's an HEB across the street from my office so this would certainly be a welcome development for weekday lunches.
  8. The young guy that owns Heights & Co. bar on Yale and Dante (Italian restaurant over in River Oaks) is apparently opening up a restaurant or bar in the old Ship Channel coffee place on Wakefield after a major remodel this summer.
  9. Consumer sentiment is in the crapper. Inflation expectations have risen significantly.
  10. This year I'm experiencing the other side of this. Same perks of no traffic and shit hold true, but I've been insanely busy this week, wrapping up the final parts of a rush project I've been grinding out since mid-January. 10+ hour days all week, getting home no earlier than 8 pm....etc. Meanwhile I'm bombarded in group texts with pics of friends and co-workers spending the week down at the beach or hitting the ski slopes.
  11. Getting every flavor of March weather this week ahead. Overcast, brisk and windy today. 2 gorgeous Spring days tomorrow and Tuesday, then it's suddenly summer Wed-Fri with highs close to 90 before it turns back into Spring next weekend.
  12. Does anyone think it would be possible to make a claim, no matter how unsubstantiated, about one of Musk's foes that he wouldn't credulously signal boost?
  13. Reminds me of an Onion article years ago that has always stuck with me.
  14. Glad I got distracted and held off. Veilguard is free on PS Plus starting tomorrow.
  15. I'm not a finance guy by any means so I'd appreciate a brief tutorial if you've got a second. The $3.50-$6.95 range you're quoting is a collar, correct? Basically you're protected from nat gas price dropping below $3.50, but lose out on any upside if the price breaches $6.95? Would appreciate an example in that scenario of what exactly happens to you if the price hits $2.50 vs. if price hits $8.50.
  16. Saturday 2/22: 45 and raining all day long. Saturday 3/1: High of 82 and sunny. Late Winter in Texas y'all!
  17. You don't have to go far. 2 pearl-clutchers just on this page.
  18. Cam Smith greatest slugger of all time? Some are saying.
  19. Watched the first inning on lunch break at work. Paredes had a long AB ending in a full count BB in his first Astros appearance. Guy's got great plate discipline. Walker also took a 6 or 7 pitch AB that finished with a stand-up 2B off dead CF wall.
  20. Convince my parents to starts plowing every available cent into $3 shares of an upstart e-commerce website called called amazon.com For shits and giggles, start telling everyone I know about "my" theory that the present day is actually sometime around the year 2200, and "reality" is merely a complex computer program created to placate the minds inside the bodies being cultivated as battery power for intelligent machines. Watch heads explode when friends head to the theaters in late March.
  21. OH I know. This is something that happens once or twice a year typically. Just a slight twinge in my lower back that gets progressively stiffer over the course of the day and persists for the next 10 days or so. Only really bothers me when standing up from a seated position after a while or if I try to bend over and pick up something heavy. Epsom salt bath tonight. Gym tomorrow morning will just be a brisk walk on the treadmill for a half hour to loosen up and then do stretches. Taking the rest of the weekend off from doing much of anything physical.
  22. Cursed myself with this hubristic post. Tweaked my back doing kettlebell high pull this morning. Several days of stiffness and discomfort ahead. I'll still be able to hit the gym next week, but will not be able to go 100% until week after next at best. Gonna stall me out for a bit.
  23. Awful AI slop flooding social media is really starting to me piss off
  24. Bummed. Was planning to take a group of hometown buddies out to my lease Saturday morning. Been talking about it since November and finally found a weekend where all of us were free, which is very hard to do. Weather forecast this weekend sucks ass. Not gonna make it out of the low 40's and looks like guaranteed rain starting late afternoon and then hard rain Sunday for the drive home. Pretty much defeats the whole purpose of going out (ride around in the UTV's, drink beer out by the fire), so we decided to postpone. Hoping to try again sometime mid-March but who knows?
