    The best time of the year is upon us.  College football, hunting season and a 4 day weekend to start it off with all the meathead buddies showing up tomorrow.

    I’m jealous.  Both my kids have us knee deep in high school sports activities, so no opening weekend for me.  Hopefully I’ll make it back down to Shackelford County to bust some of my buddies culls or does in Nov-Dec.  Plan on hunting Osage County in Oklahoma gun season.

    Living vicariously through you guys until then…

    I miss the old prickly pear and mesquite country.

    Lest we not forget, the eat each other.

    We had a lease out by Throckmorton years ago that was infested by hogs.  One of the guys shot this hog close to dark and we decided to let it lay as it was a Saturday night and a big game was coming on, so we ran back to camp to watch the game (old school days - generator, TV, DirecTV satellite dish in concrete in Home Depot Homer bucket).

    We returned to pick up the hog about three hours later and there was nothing but bones.  Picked clean.

  3. Saw this thread pop up and list some of my old favs in Austin, namely Via 313, Homeslice, and Marye’s in my old hood.

    Not pizza and it’s been a while since I’ve had one but Little Deli used to make the best Italian subs west of central Pennsylvania.  Hopefully, they’re still badass and if so, you shouldn’t miss their Italian sub.

    I know I'll come off as the grumpy asshole (again), but please do not handle trout with dry hands.  It removes the slime layer off their skin that keeps them healthy.  They more easily contract diseases when improperly handled.

    Otherwise, you get an A+.

    No worries.  The photo looks like dry hands but my kid’s hands were wet each time.  I’ve pounded that in him at a young age.  Only had one net, otherwise they would have all been netted in the water but you have to do your best running to an excited kid catching his first cutthroats.

    RMac - yes, chile rellenos at Orlando’s for the celebratory dinner.  I’m always a Christmas order but believe I actually prefer their red Chile best.

    there's simply nothing better than catching wild fish in wild places on dry flies. thanks for the pics. Thanks and I totally agree.  That is definitely my scene!

    We caught all the trout on Rio Grande Kings, Lime Trudes, Sparkle Duns, and X Caddis that I tied last winter.  We probably could have caught even more fish with hopper-dropper but in cutthroat water, I only fish dries.

    The little Rio Grande cutts will bite anything but they have to be one of fastest takes in fly fishing.  If your hook up rate is 50%, you’re a world class angler.  Mine was in the teens.

    New Mexico Fish & Game has done a fantastic job in recovery efforts with this fishery.  If anyone is interested, PM and I’ll give you details.

    If you’re in Oklahoma you should also head to Okarche and eat at Eischen’s. Get a fried chicken, some fried okra, a frito pie, and cold beer. That’s basically all they got.

    Haven’t made it there either.  I should be flogged twice.

    My parents and their friends used to road trip to Eischen’s a couple of times a year.  I need to accelerate my Okie trips after thirty great years in Texas.

  7. I’ve eaten at Hodad’s and a Thai restaurant near by in Ocean Beach that he featured.  Both were excellent.

    Most of the Austin restaurants with Counter Cafe being one of our old standbys pre-Covid at original location.

    I should be flogged as I’ve never been to Nic’s Grill in OKC despite literally dozens of friends recommending it to me over the years.  Road trip in near future…

    I was discussing this thread with a woman at work the other morning. At lunch, I get a text from her. She had gone to Royal Blue and picked up a pre-made sandwich. Goes to pay and hits skip on the tip screen when the tablet is turned around to her. The cashier says "I think you missed a step" and turns it back around to her with the tip screen up again. 

    Fuck that. 

    “Your tip for today is to buy low and sell high.”

    The above lands better when you stare them straight in the eyes with a crazed, wide-eyed look.

    Same.  It wasn't the reason but it was a reason.

    Yep.

    One of the reasons.  Tulsa is still hot in summer but not blast furnace hot.  We’ve hit three days of 100F temps this year.

    What are the odds that the RV park portion is the only part that actually gets built?

    I’m an Okie but that was the first thing I thought when I read the article.  However, Grand Lake nearby proposed development is not exactly a shithole by any stretch.

    I'm pretty sure I get reverse seasonal affective disorder. This shit sucks.

    When we lived in ATX, we’d spend week and a half in north County San Diego at the end of July every year.  I was always one depressed SOB getting back on the plane for the return flight to Austin each year.

    I definitely recommend a trip out to Alpine if the monsoon season is strong.  It’s usually quite pleasant out there in late July and August when monsoon rains pop on in the afternoons. It’ll definitely help beat the blues.

  12. I apologize if the following is trite - an old west Texas man gave me a super power for dealing with ass blistering weather:

    wet a bandana with ice cold water and place it around back of your neck.  You’ll need to re-apply water if you’re out in the heat for long duration but literally, it is like a super power when coping with extreme high heat.

    Some PhD will write a thesis on the science behind keeping your blood cool in the back of your neck.  In the meantime, know that it works…
