    Dude got redemption though. He went on to play Chuck Norris’ partner on Walker Texas Ranger. one of the most iconic roles in cinematic history.  That’s gotta count for something.

    No time to go back and search through this thread.  Kiddo left for camp.  Need some new places to hit this week.  How is Ritual?  Menu looks awesome, and it better be to make me go all the way to the Heights and have to hear the boss lady bitching about going to the heights the entire way over there.  

    haven't been in a while, but it was always good when we went.  Had a surprisingly good meal at Mastranto's just up studewood from there.  Helen in the Heights is always terrific, but not new.

    saw ninfas in the window a couple weeks ago.  there had been a ninfas at post oak/san felipe (NW corner, had been a ginormous oak tree back there until a few years ago).  looking at the wikipedia, i guess that was an independent licensee.  iirc that took over a carlos mencia's location (or maybe i have it the other way around).  i'll have to try los tios when it opens too

    jesus I've lived in this city a long time

    From my experience with pieces of live/scrub oaks being left in my yard before it was graded with topsoil and sodded - those spots will problem areas for short roots and localized dry spots for years to come.  I've had to actually surgically remove pieces of oak that were cut down to the stump and left there because those spots would dry up within days of not getting watered.

     

    esto.  Best bet is to get as much of it out as you can, then dirt + sod.  If your HOA will let you get away with it, maybe mulch or some other cover over the stump remains for a year to break it down more and try to chop it up so you can get a thicker layer of topsoil over the area.  We had a giant sweetgum taken down in the front yard 10 years ago and I've been through a couple cycles of settle>fill>repeat.  Was digging out part of the yard for a new flowerbed this weekend and that gotdam root system is still a giant PITA

  5. We honeymooned at Sandals MB. Enjoyed it.  If we had to do over, would have gone Ritz-Carlton as the price was probably a wash.   I played golf at the RC course and it was rad.   We took a day trip to Mayfield Falls with Barrett Adventures.  Had a great time.  Better trip than Dunn's river, I imagine.  Saw land pirates.  We also did a trip up to Croydon in the Mountains, a working coffee/fruit plantation.  Also a memorable trip.  No matter where you stay, you need to make an off-premises trip to Scotchy's for jerk chicken.  It's finominle.  I was only able to stop by briefly on the way back from golf, but the chicken I took back to the hotel was amazing.  I've sent a bunch of people over the years and they all rave about it.

  7. Just finished the Night Manager.  Plugging it again because I'm sure a lot of folks missed it like I did and it was exceptional.  Same lady who directed Bird Box.  She's bowed out of S2, which I've read is under development with no ETA as of yet, but I'm curious to see how they're able to continue the story with little original source material, or if they morph it into another JLC book.

    I enjoyed it up until a grenade blows up in the tank in Pitts face yet he is unmarked leaving a glamourous looking corpse.

    Don't forget all the unspent rounds littering the battlefield after the big shoot-out

     

  9. I found the box set of BoB at the thrift for $5 a couple of weeks ago and bought it for my curmudgeonly FiL who professes to hate everything.  I told him I was going to force him to watch it and, despite his protestations to the contrary, he would like it.  

    Sat him down yesterday and got him through the first three episodes before we had to leave for Houston.  After the assault on the howitzers at Brecourt Manor at the end of E2, he was all "BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO GONORRHEA???!!" and I had to point out that Wild Bill was awarded the silver star.  I think I may have gotten through.  To be continued...

    Just bought a house and the 1 acre “lawn” is mostly clover and other weeds. Few questions:

    Would weed and feed just kill everything and leave me with dirt?

    Should I place sod or seed? What type of grass?

    I’m interested in palisades zoysia for its low grow and drought tolerance, but I have no idea what I’m doing.

    The lot has several large oaks and pecan trees.



     

    Weed and feed is the devil.  It may very well kill your oak trees.  And, if you plan on eating those atrazine-infused pecans...

    Saw The Avett Brothers at BOK Center in Tulsa last night.  Man these guys can put on a show.... I'm seeing them again at Red Rocks in July.  Can't wait for that.

     

     

    Mrs. Laz and I have lost count but I think Houston back in March, and the two white water sets bring us up to sixteen TAB shows.  They always bring it.  Saw them at Red Rocks in '15 and it was about as close to a religious experience as I've had.  You will have a blast.

  12. Signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon in October.   Will be my first full in five years, and my first time training through a Texas summer.   I've been running in the mornings this year, and I'm planning to run commute to the office late in the cycle when I get up to 8-10 mile wednesday runs.  Any other tips from you seasoned veterans on how to avoid dying in August?
