    Rained a little bit today in Texline. Sunset pic was about 9:15 Texline time. Of course about 100 yards from that pic it was 8:15.

    Rabbit Ear Mountain.  Love that country out there…Rabbit Ear from the top of Black Mesa a couple of years ago (about a 100 yards from Mountain Time too).

    I was just talking with my buddy who has a place out there early today.  He was worried about his tanks running dry if this storm didn’t come through.  Very happy for all the folks about in the Hill Country.

    My wife really didn't complain about motels until I pulled into the Travelodge in Memphis TX a few years back. Now everything must be planned, and she'll probably have something like, "Made us stay at the Travelodge In Memphis TX" on my gravestone lest the people forget my transgressions.

    I had no idea my wife had a sister…

  4. Lake Murray south of town is nice.

    Dornick Hills CC is a great track if you get a chance to play golf there.

    A buddy of mine lives not too far from Ardmore and says Cafe Alley has excellent food.  Aforementioned Turner Falls north of town is cool.

    Other than that, I’ve got nothing.  I’ve driven by there several hundred times but rarely stopped.

    Leche quemada is the name of that type of candy.  And here's a blast from the past:

     

    r/Austin - a menu of a restaurant

     

    That is a blast from the past.  We had a Monterrey House in Tulsa around 18th and Sheridan we’d eat at least once a week.

  6. Finally made a close facsimile of one of my favorite dishes at Madam Mam’s - Guay Teaw Nuer Sub, or F12 on the menu at Bee Caves.  Damn it was good to nail it after several misfires (Tulsa Thai scene is virtually non-existent).

  7. My daughter and I were back in Austin last weekend and she requested one of her favorite restaurants from her childhood - Tuk Tuk on south Manchaca.  Unfortunately, since Covid they are only take-out but allowed us to eat at one of the front waiting tables.  Still very, very good.

    Tulsa’s Thai food scene sucks, so thoroughly appreciate the abundance of great Thai choices.

  8. Just seeing this thread, Brisket.  I’m very sorry to hear of your loss.

    Your dad sounds like a wonderful man who I would have loved to have met…and of course, go on a fishing trip with.  I lost my dad (who adopted me when I was fifteen) in 2020.  They were of similar age and those guys of that vintage had to persevere through a lot in life - not many like them anymore.  I’m immensely grateful that my dad chose my mom and me.  I have no idea where I’d be in my life if he had arrived just at the right time.

    I hope you get out to the Llano soon and have a full weekend of wading around, fishing, eating a Big Chop, listening to classic country, and thinking of memories.  The tears will subside in time and will be replaced with laughs and joy.  Trust me.

    We will see them again, no doubt in my mind.

    1 John 4:8

    Psalms 126

    Revelations 21:3-5

  9. Just finished Annals of the Former World, John McPhee’s Pulitzer Prize winning collection of five books on the geology of North America.  While sounding dry as toast, it is very readable.  Simply amazing history of our world, along with biographies of impactful geologists who contributed greatly to knowledge of North America’s Deep Time.  The middle book, Rising from the Plains, about Wyoming geology and Dr. David Love were my personal favorite.  David Love, and especially his parents, led lives that few of us can even imagine.

    Check weather. If there is a winter storm between Amarillo and Raton, you are fucked.  And doubly fucked if you try to go up through the eastern CO route. 

    100% agree with the above.  It could be 70F in that part of the world in March or it could be a blizzard.  Good weather - no problem.  If you were traveling in summer, I could give you dozens of places to camp that are awesome.  Spring with kids, weather is too unpredictable.

    I could eat that in one bite. God damn that looks perfect.

    I’ve been wanting to cook them since my son and I had our first in Leakey a few years ago while we were on a fishing trip to the Nueces and Frio.  It was much easier than I expected - I mashed out two roughly 1/4lb hamburger patties in a rectangular shape, layered with diced fresh jalapenos with grated Colby/Jack cheese.  Also, I had some shallots on hand and diced those up as well.  Covered first patty and diced japs/shallots/cheese with second patty and pressed and sealed them together and threw them on the grill.  Served with some brown gravy and mashed potatoes.  Definitely doing it again soon.
