  1. instead of PF/Gatlinburg, head to Western NC. Lots of mountains to hike, can still do SMNP, and lots of trout in the rivers.
  2. second moderna on Tuesday. Sore arm, but not as bad as shot #1. Felt a little mixed up yesterday afternoon (24 hours after). Then the wife had me hanging drapes in our garage apartment which was about 80 degrees. Got a good sweat going, then a shower, two Tylenol, and good nights sleep. Woke this morning feeling like a champ. Scotch-Irish genes FTMFW
  3. they make the best baseball cleats. Will be interesting to see if their basketball shoes take off with the Kawhi deal they have.
  4. I spent many a night in Gilley's in my high school years (before UC) and college years (after (UC). Great call on recognizing the locals who made it into the movie. Always love Bud's first trip to Gilley's as they walk up and guys are getting thrown out for fighting. That was a nightly deal - it was a rough place pre UC. Also remember Johnny Lee's club down Spencer Highway (I think that s where it was), and Cowboy where Pam and Bud end up dancing. We would always showu p for Gilley beer night - cheap beer for college students during the summer months. Pretty sure it was either Shiner or Texas Pride rebranded.
  5. PSA - If you haven't read American Tabloid, then immediately stop what you are doing, purchase it and start reading. Just a fantastic book.
  6. watched The Gordon Lightfoot doc - pretty entertaining, The back story on the recording of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was mind blowing. No one in the band and ever seen the music until the day they recorded. Drummer didn't even know what to do so Gordon said he would give him a nod when he needed to come in. Song wasn't even planned to be recorded that day but they had extra time left in the studio. The recording you hear was their first take. They tried to do other takes but they never sounded as good.
  7. and the Oilers won the 60,61 AFL Championship and lost the 62 and 67 AFL Championships.
  8. Son got a Sous Vide kit for Christmas. Yesterday we grabbed a couple NY Strips for a test drive. Pretty damn good
  9. Crane is very litigious so you never know - but I imagine MLB doesn't want this going to discovery and trial. It's pretty clear to me Lunhow was a scapegoat, but how you prove it is another thing. Manfred wanted him out of baseball because he doesn't play well with the other GM's.
  10. Springer is not signing with the Astros - they know this so it would be a waste to go after him. Many reasons - He wants to go to the East Coast, he is pissed at the team for bringing him up so late that they increased their team control, he's not happy about them not offering a contract last season,
  11. first call needs to be to Jeff Luhnow
  12. I've been there before and its not much of a "village" - its actually a depressing as hell looking place. But Elon should up the offers to $200-$250k then they could find places in Corpus and Aransas Pass if they have to be close to a beach.
  13. we lost Tom three years ago today. Fuck me, but it still hurts like hell. IMO they are the greatest American band. Their list of songs as posted earlier is just amazing and they did it for a long long time. I tell that to people and I get a funny look as I see them trying to come up with a better American band but most never do... the last song he ever played live - he died seven days later.
  14. my entire family was born in San Antonio or South Texas (see Carrizo Springs or Stockdale). Cheese Enchiladas to me are the fundamental dish of any Tex-Mex joint and a bad batch will kill my desire to try anything else they make. My grandmother (who by the way pronounced them En-chee-ladees) made to this day what I consider to be the best - of course most will say their grandmother made the best! They were cheesy, they were greasy, and they were loaded with onions. She used those red corn tortillas - not sure if those added flavor but visually they were stunning. Now very hungry
  15. guy recruited inner city Houston and East Texas. His teams were just loaded with talent. Loved watching the Veer, and also loved his tv show.
  16. yes - he was only fat because the Astros doctors didn't tell him to stop drinking a case of beer and eating at all you can eat buffets every day.
  17. how about a greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray
  18. PNG Crackers has a nice ring to it
  19. I assume they will have the ability to expand the roster when guys go on the COVID DL
  20. good, get that over with now, so he will be healthy and virus free as they make the run for the "title".
  21. Pretty sure they were real and they were spectacular in Mischef
