  1. Malice by John Gwynne A great series and Gwynne did a ton of research on how midieval weapons were used in combat and tried to write the battle scenes as close to real as possible.
  2. From my office desk sitting in my underwear Texas!
  3. 2 national championships? Are they counting every single sport or something? They must be counting Meat Judging.
  4. "I am here to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I am all out of bubble gum"
  5. 1976 Eagles in Brisbane Australia. Don't remember who opened for them but they came out for 3 encores and told the crowd after the third one that was all the songs they knew. They were my first and one of the best bands I've ever seen.

    Uniform Pron

    When you have a distinct traditional look like Pitt, you should always stick to it. When they are on T.V., I don't have to look to see who is playing because I can recognize their colors and uniform. I'm glad they have gone back to it.

    Gumbo

    Went to visit my nephew up in Seattle last month (he is currently one of the chef's working for the Seahawks. We were standing in line at the supermarket and he was telling a story about how one of his co-workers had made Gumbo and wanted him to try it (my nephew was born and raised in Baton Rouge). He took a bite and spit it out saying that's Not Gumbo! The chef replied "Is the kale throwing it off?" My nephew responded with "Kale does Not go in Gumbo". As he finishes this tale the check out clerk jumps into the conversation with "Kale can go in Gumbo; as a matter of fact all you are doing is emptying out your fridge. You just have to have a good tomato base to start." we stood there in amazed silence. As we walked away my nephew turned to me and said " I hope you appreciate the fact that I did not hit that S.O.B. for saying that!" I replied, you really need to make Gumbo and bring him a bowl so he will know how ignorant he really is.
  8. There are a ton of new Breweries across Texas and most of what they put out is just ok. They need to focus on the local towns and build their brand. Barrow Brewing out of Salado and Thirsty Planet are doing this and gaining a following.
  9. In for $25. This is my favorite contest.
  10. Whataburger is my go to burger place since I first moved to Texas back in the 70's. That being said, the Whataburger in Nacogdoches has the best tasting burgers in the Whataburger universe. I am not sure why they taste better than any other Whataburger but they do. Loved them back in college and had the opportunity to eat there years later when passing through town on a trip. Just as great as I remembered. Of, course you might die of old age waiting for it to be cooked as it is also the Slowest Whataburger in the state but damn, it tastes great. Anyone else have a favorite Whataburger?
  11. The best part of that win was he got a $10,000 bonus for the win and took it to the local campus bar where he bought everyone a drink to celebrate. Mike Leach is awesome.

    Game Atmosphere

    My Dad was a TexasEX from 53'. Back in hey day of 69-70 he was teaching me Texas Fight and it was MEES. I never knew there was any other saying until my first game at DKR in the mid 90's and I thought why would they change it?
  14. Hi Txlc, Thank you for your order at Surly Horns. Your payment has been received and approved. — Surly Horns Order #384 I am now proud and sad to say I'm a $9.95'er.
  15. I am taking a weeks vacation up to Pagosa Springs for the 4th of July. Looking to do some day hikes/fishing and willing to drive a few hours if needed. What would y'all recommend as must see/do ?
  16. Years ago when the kids were in elementary / middle school I would do a summer movie theme of older films. First year was the summer of comedy. We watched Duck Soup, Three Stooges collection, Blues Brothers ect.. The following year we did Westerns; High Noon, Outlaw Joesy Wales, Big Country, The Cowboys, ect.. Now they are in their twenties and tell their friends how cool those times were.
  17. I will throw in "Luther" with Idris Elba as a London Detective on the edge. The seasons are short but very good.
  18. They closed the San Juan two days ago for the summer do to the high fire danger. There are closures all over southern Colorado right now and it seams to be getting worse. I've booked a trip in July for Pagosa / Durango and I'm rethinking this as it was to explore a lot of the trails in that area.
  19. Here’s a couple of pictures from the trip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I did Paradise and “The Grove of the Patriarchs” two years ago. Had the older part of the family with me so it was a very light outside day. Weather was wet and cloudy but doable. I am planning on going back to do the Northern Loop Trail and Natural Bridge
  21. Funny how you never know what the scouts will enjoy the most. We did Constantine a while back and all the adult leaders hated it. The scouts thought it was great. Good luck with your trip this summer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. FYI, our troop is going to BTSR this month and they have closed off most of the spring and camping sites for repairs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
