  1. He was great in so many rolls/characters. I think the first movie I saw him in was the Dion Brothers back in the mid 70s, which had some hilarious scenes. RIP to a great one.
  2. Making my first visit to DC later this month, 25th to Oct.2nd, so have been reading thru this thread for sage advice. The first 3 days will be at the Wyndham Oxon Hill in the National Harbor area for conference/workshop related events. Have done minor research but not looking as promising as other parts of town on cool things to do/see. There's the Casino, Waterfront Park and Air Force 1 Replica of some sort, so really need some recs here. The next 4 days we have an Airbnb in Capital Hill and a free schedule, so we'll do the normal first-time touristy things and try out a few of the restaurants/bars that have been mentioned here. Looks like the Nationals have a home series with the Phillies so that might be doable. No rental car, the tales of parking nightmares have made me choose to go Uber, Metro, cab or whatever instead.

    Tinnitus

    I have it in both ears. Like many others went to numerous rock concerts,
  4. Yep, they were calling student names out to cross the stage and got into the B's when the rain hit. They were being overly optimistic trying to get this done last night. So it's rescheduled for tonight at 8:00, we'll see .
  5. Dripping Springs High moved the graduation ceremony time (at the football stadium) tonight from 8:00 pm to 6:00 in an attempt to avoid the rain. We shall see. Should I wear my waders?
  6. Saw the last 15 minutes or so of singles play, NW was looking pretty solid.
  7. Did a check on their website and it shows the concert line up through August, no indication if the old or new site though. I did not know Styx and Joan Jett still toured, Nutty going retro.
  8. Saw that the planned HEB at the old Nutty Brown Amphitheater site is going to open in approximately a year. Hope it has a bar like the Lakeway HEB.

    Eggs

    Scotched eggs are a favorite, takes a little effort so I don't do them often, breakfast tacos much easier/quicker. Before we moved south used to go to Chez Zee in Austin on weekends and always had the eggs commodore. Basically just eggs benedict with sausage instead of Canadian bacon, but was damn good.
  10. I feel like my house is ready for the single digit temps, not so much for the two vehicles that are always parked outside. Got the cars in the garage, suvs are out. I know, should have built a bigger garage. Dealing with this will be task #1 for me tomorrow.
  11. It appears that there will be some fees/penalties if you choose to attend private or certain out of state schools, I am reading up on that now .
  12. I don't know, and to be honest I have to read up on all details per situation as we made the mistake of assuming she would go to school in state. As related to going out of state I believe it's just a matter of cashing out the funds.
  13. Will be following this closely as my youngest daughter is in the midst of trying to decide/get accepted into various schools. She is actually a pretty good student but has the bad habit of putting everything off until the last moment, school assignments included. She did get a partial scholarship offer to U of Oregon, but only around $7,500.00 a year which is hardly worth considering given all that it would involve going to school that far away. Ideally she will do the CAP/ UTSA to UT(her preferred school) route. Not sure if UT Dallas participates as well. She also has friends that are going to Colorado, Colo.St. and Oregon State, and they are all looking for someone to tag along. This is the part where it gets dicey as we have a fair amount of money in the Texas Tomorrow Fund, and going out of state kind of hinders that. Mrs. Hovis is a Tech grad with a Masters in Engineering but try as she might the daughter wants no part of Lubbock. By the way looking at marketing programs(food related?)so to me there should be a number of options within state. I needs the help.
  14. Got a call from ARC just before noon, asked if I could come in to either the Buda or Kyle location before 7:00 pm for the Moderna vaccine. I live in Hays County but have an Austin mailing address. Scheduled a 4:00 at Kyle and was out by 4:30. They were getting folks through at a fast pace. The 2nd shot is set for 2/27 which is a Saturday, but fine with me. Odd thing is the call came up as a Georgetown phone number, when I asked about that she said she was having to use her cell phone as all ARC lines were swamped.
  15. Stopped by Ghost Note Brewery today, grand opening weekend. They converted an old wedding venue and it's a pretty nice set up. Only six beers on tap as of now, I had a west coast IPA that was decent enough. There was a food truck(mostly burgers)and a few appetizers from the bar. They're still working on turning one of the buildings into a music venue. Overall a nice place to add to the growing list of Hill Country drinking spots. It's off RR12 between Dripping Springs and Wimberley. I wouldn't have known about it if I didn't see their sign by the road. Not much info on their website but a link to the Facebook page shows it's been in the works for a couple of years.
  16. Ahh, Willem Defoe. Ya know, a Bobby Peru character could add about fiddy pages to this thread.
  17. That's a "Judging Amy" looking bitch right there. Would still do her on the back side of the doublewide tho. CHIEF
  18. Maybe time is a frat circle, be patient. He may call if he knows you're on the Urb Train.
  19. CDC isn't stupid, though his choice on the head coach position could alter that opinion. People are sick of Herman, and the lack of viable candidates(other than UM) to replace him has Surly cackling nonsensical bullshit at peak levels.
  20. We are Tennessee, just a different shade of orange.
  21. And that's fair.
  22. Speaking of Werther's, anyone else try their flavored popcorn? HEB had a bogo special so I had to give em a try. Ate one bag without setting it down. I'm a slut for these.
  23. No plan B ? Well, let's have a look at that A again, I'm sure something will come up.
  24. The Creamy Creations cinnamon, honey, and sopapilla ice cream is pretty damn tasty.
