  1. AJ is the dude.
  2. 21F on 4473 We routinely stopped sales to the smokers. Drugs and guns don’t mix.
  3. I had a great convo with Dan Neil one day and he told me about playing in the NFL. He was small and I couldn’t figure out how he had those rings on his fingers as a starter. Granted, he had lost a lot of weight after retirement. Anyway, he told me that (paraphrasing) a game has 60 snaps on offense: 1. half don’t go his way so he just has to “get in the way” of his man 2. Some other portion he has help blocking his guy 3. Some other portion he just has to hold his block for a quick out or slant or whatever 4. 10 or so plays: he had to man up, dominate, drive his guy back, whatever. I always thought that was interesting. Maybe applies here in some capacity - I don’t know.
  4. What happened to Ldogg53?
  5. I thought the gas were supposed to root for their conference mates? It’s a brotherhood or something. Huh. I wonder what changed? Or, was it - like we knew deep in our loins - them celebrating others success as their own? Bama won the CFP! We did it! We’re winners!
  6. Dave Allen. Solid guy, keeps it simple. He helps some ex UT players as well. He helped me meet Dan Neil so we could get his kid something. He’s in North Austin.
  7. I wonder where ol’ Jimbo can go? Obviously somewhere east or southeast - he isn’t going west. ACC or SEC, possibly Big 10. Who has a coach o. The hot seat that would be interested in the Jimbo/Karen pairing? Kentucky if they shit the bed this year? Florida?
  8. Having fun = possible heisman contender Wild wacky stuff
  9. Everyone relax. We’re about to win the national championship. Happy thoughts.
  10. Man Ive heard some stuff I really like that are from lesser known brands. I think a few things are in play: 1. Newish companies innovating 2. Production costs decreasing due to new tech or materials 3. Realization that spend for legacy brands was heavy on the name alone Zildjian Sabian and Paiste were the gold standard for years. They make great stuff and charge great prices. Some of the newer brands sound just as good but charge far less, depending on series of course. Then, what do your ears like? That Instanbul stuff sounds great for the price point. I mean studio engineers probably want specific weights and things but the crowd at continental club won’t be able to tell a 200g ride from a 222g ride. I like the Paiste stuff but I have a ton of it too. If I was buying new gear I’d look at all the brands - fuck the name.
  11. Pm me your cell so I can text you some pics. Jimmy Jazz will vouch for me.
  12. He probably fits from a specialty perspective and they’re willing to pay the price for HIS level of talent at THAT specific task. There is also value in keeping him away from OU. I love the way the defensive side of the ball has been architected - both from a scheme perspective and personnel perspective. I also don’t know shit about fuck.
  13. Mixed bag of stuff but all pretty good. I will have some hardware and cymbals for sale in a few weeks out of my stash. All dw hardware and paiste signatures (I think).
  14. It’s looking pretty good.
  15. I have a lead on something for you maybe. You can probably get a good set of used hats and ride and maybe a crash for $700. I was VP of a local music association and bought all the drum gear for them and they were going to liquidate the gear we used for live events. Let me see if they’ve done that. If not - all your dreams are about to come true.
  16. Sure. But I’d run a dw 5000 or 9000 bdp. I think 9000 series are the sweet spot. I had some of their MFG stuff and didn’t like it. What’s the budget?
  17. Pricing is insane. We bought our ski nautique brand new from boat town in 1984 for $12500 with a trailer and deluxe interior. I was at the Austin boat show 5-6 years ago I guess and a G25 Paragon was like 325k and I thought that was insane. I just wouldn’t (and can’t) spend that kind of money on a boat. Give me a used 50k Supra or Malibu and I’ll put the other 550k in my pocket and have the same amount of fun. Actually I’d have more fun because the 600k boat is probably just put in my living room and look at it.
  18. Slingerland is coming back. Kinda cool I guess - lots of history there. Anyone got any new shit?

    Flaco Gone.

    Fucking legend. RIP Flaco.
  20. For sure. A case study in how to not do it. So many better guns out there.
  21. I’m a fan of the BUL stuff. We actually had the opp to work with them this year but passed. Mac’s - I hate the grip. I mean hate it. Other than that it’s a good platform gun to learn on. Let me know when you want to step into the 5k-9k game.
  22. A few notes: Lots of new DS1911’s dropping right now. Apex Optics - take a hard look. They’re dope. Take advantage of sales right now
