  1. Wife and I taking our annual spring trip to check out the old stomping grounds in San Marcos and spending the weekend in Wimberley, which means lunch tomorrow on the way up will be my once-a-year visit to City Market. Yes, there are plenty of better BBQ joints, but I still enjoy CM for what it is and it's tradition at this point.
  2. A nice steady 30+ hour soaking is just what the doctor ordered. My landscaping is just starting to come back to life after the winter die off and lawn is finally waking up from hibernation. Sprinklers get to catch a nice break this weekend.

  4. Walker heading back to Houston tonight after taking a bunch of AB's in minor league games the last few days without issue. Expected to be in the lineup Thursday.
  5. Smith starting in RF again tonight. Edit: And now Chandler says he made the OD roster.
  6. Chandler: Astros have informed Singleton he will not make the Opening Day Roster, Joe Espada said. I'm assuming that means Dezenzo is in. Last domino left to fall is likely Chas vs. Cam.
  7. I was experiencing something similar last year. Recurring discomfort on the inside of my left elbow. Not so much pain, but when I'd do curls, the first few reps it would feel like my UCL was about to fail. I just laid off for like 2 weeks at one point and then picked back up with more reps at lower weight. Also seemed to help to switch to doing standing curls with a multi-grip bar rather than sitting down at a curl machine. The discomfort eventually subsided entirely even after I'd gotten back up to lifting as heavy ever, though my left elbow still does a (painless) pop when I stretch out my arms upon waking up in the morning.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Consumer sentiment is in the crapper. Inflation expectations have risen significantly.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. Reminds me of an Onion article years ago that has always stuck with me.
  21. Glad I got distracted and held off. Veilguard is free on PS Plus starting tomorrow.
  22. 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.
  23. Saturday 2/22: 45 and raining all day long. Saturday 3/1: High of 82 and sunny. Late Winter in Texas y'all!
