  1. 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.

  2. 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.

     

  3. 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.

  4. 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?

  5. 13 hours ago, Bullneck said:

    He won the Apple Cup his first year, when they were really bad.  

    And a bowl or two.  But a game in Pullman? Maybe so.

    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.

     

  6. 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?

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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
