    FCB said he's hearing that barring any setbacks, Card is starting tomorrow.

    Excellent... can't wait to see Charles Wright.

    I suppose we could watch FCB videos.  I'd rather watch this...

     

  2. I'm not judging anyone for wearing Patagonia, North Face, etc. etc. because I get it... good looking, functional wear that keeps you warm especially when doing winter sports but its comfortable stuff.  I like gear by https://colourwear.com/en-ww/snow - good functional gear although it looks like they are clearing out a ton of gear so not sure what's up there.

     

    Now Crocs... yeah, don't come to me talking about comfort... Crocs suck.  They are the minivan of footwear.

    The opening of that video reminds me of just how ugly the A&M campus truly is...when a water tower is the signature structure on campus.  

    Whereas,

    UT has the iconic tower:

    Texas Tech has the Administration Building Bell Tower:

    SMU has the signature Dallas Hall:

    A&M's pride and joy is this...

    I was just saying this to my wife... we show these cool views of campus, the pennybacker bridge, downtown, the hills, the stadium.

    They show a water tower.

    Interesting you bring that up.  I workout year round, pretty much so I can ski.  I’m no body builder,  but goblet squats and traditional squats, running and core work is a must for my 52 yo body in order to ski bell to bell on a  3-4 day trip. I’ve got 3 teens to keep up with. Quad, glutes, Lats, shoulder and Biceps all get fried during a hard ski day. I 100% stay away from moguls but give me as steep as you can get. Love the long narrow runs along a cat trail with a view. Best way to spend a day  

    LOL... exactly why I work out but especially since I blew my ACL so I have no choice but to keep everything working well.  I'm all about full body workout splits... upper twice a week, lower twice a week... definitely mixing in goblet squats, step ups, 1 leg RDL. occasional landmine work, barbell hack squats, plyo (especially as I get closer to the trip), balance work, etc.  All good stuff.  I'm fine with moguls and somehow my knees and legs will keep up but I think my bigger issue is, at times, the altitude... I can handle it, I just need breaks.  Taking the bootpack up Wally's Wide at A-Basin was doable for me at 11K+ but I just had to take my time up.  THAT worked my legs like a mother, though.

    I have one particular cherry tomato plant/bush that was putting off about 30 tomatoes/week in the spring and early summer. I've kept it alive through the brutal part of the summer but it looks a little rough in some areas and I've had very few tomatoes for about a month now.

    Should I prune it back pretty heavily and let it grow fresh for the fall, or just let it run its course without any intervention?

    I pruned mine back and it has put on what appears to be new healthy growth and flowers.  Maybe worth a shot but I'm no expert.

    SAT analogy:

    Wright: Ewers :: Applewhite : Richard Walton?

    Funny I was thinking of the Richard Walton / Applewhite swap but, yeah, Ewers is on a different level.  Still, go Wright.  Maybe he becomes the new QB2

    I’m guessing that it’s hard work, just like dirt biking is surprisingly strenuous. But if I’m doing something that requires a helmet it’s going to be riding a motorcycle.  

    One of my college friends has a scar on his noggin from eating it on a one wheel - took a really nasty fall and split his head open.  I'm with you... either go with a motorcycle or just go get a cruiser skateboard and ride around or a mountain bike.

    If an alien spaceship landed at Pyle Field during this,  I think they would load it back up and go back into the universe

     

     

    I mean, honestly... inject that crap in my veins because I love it.  It is perfect.  So perfect.  Don't ever change, aggy.
