    TexMex

    That place is awesome. They have what are probably the best enchiladas in Houston.
  2. I got no dime but I got some time to hear his story! What a great fucking lyric! I'm in a Wharf Rat mood tonight! My favorites are 7/7/89 and 5/28/77.

    Shut up liver, you're fine! Here's to getting a 3 day weekend started off right!
  4. This is my 8th generation Grandpa. He was head of the Austin Colony militia and had a feud with Sam Houston. If he hadn't been murdered, he might have led the Texas army in the revolution. Kuykendall, Abner (ca. 1777–1834).Abner Kuykendall, Austin Colony pioneer, son of Adam and Margaret (Hardin) Kuykendall, was probably born in Rutherford County, North Carolina in 1777. The family was in Logan County, Kentucky, by 1792 and moved on to the Arkansas territory about 1808. Abner married Sarah (Sally) Gates. The number of their children has been reported variously as nine and twelve. With his brothers, Abner left Arkansas Territory for Texas in October 1821, probably in company with his father-in-law, William Gates. At Nacogdoches they were joined by another brother, Robert H. Kuykendall, Sr., and the three brothers were among the first of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists. Abner commanded the militia of Austin's colony. Robert and a brother, Joseph, settled near the later site of Columbus on the Colorado River, but Abner and Thomas Boatwright moved ten miles west of the Brazos and on January 1, 1822, established a settlement on New Year Creek. Sarah Gates died about 1823. Abner never remarried. In November 1823 Abner Kuykendall moved back to the Brazos and settled about eight miles above San Felipe. He received title to 1½ leagues and two labores of land now in Fort Bend, Washington, and Austin counties on July 4, 1824. The census of March 1826 classified him as a stock raiser and farmer, a widower aged over fifty. A grown son, Barzillai Kuykendall, was another of the Old Three Hundred. In July 1824 and May 1826 Kuykendall went on campaigns against the Karankawa, Waco, and Tawakoni Indians. In 1827 he was sent by Austin as a member of a delegation to try to persuade leaders of the Fredonian Rebellion to give up their plans. During the rebellion he was detailed by Austin to patrol the Old San Antonio Road to watch for possible Indian invasions. In 1829 he led a scouting expedition from the Brazos to the mouth of the San Saba River. In 1830 he went to Tenoxtitlán to confer with Mexican authorities about Waco depredations and in the same year served on a committee at San Felipe to superintend the building of a jail. He was a public official at San Felipe in February 1832 and at the time of the Anahuac Disturbances led a party of from forty to sixty men to assist the Anahuac citizens. Kuykendall was stabbed at San Felipe in June 1834 by Joseph Clayton and died in late July. Clayton was convicted and hanged in what was probably the first legal execution in Texas. Abner Kuykendall's grave has never been found.
  5. And tonight is for the 46th anniversary of one of my favorite shows, 5/26/77 from the Baltimore Civic Center in Baltimore, Maryland. It's a great listen no matter what WTB says.
  6. It’s nice if you’re with a lady, but ain’t no good if you in the jungle.
  7. Some weather models are indicating we may have another rainy week ahead.
  8. Yeah, the second set is pure fucking smoke!

    Tex Mex

    Dude just read my mind!!! The carne guisada at Alfredo’s is top notch! El Rancho in Burnet has some damn fine salsa.
  10. Hate

    Tex Mex

    Pretty much the entire Metro Austin area would make that list. It’s mind bottling that a big city so close to San Antonio can have worse Tex-mex than little towns like Burnet and Kingsland. It’s embarrassing really.
  11. I have to say that my generation was pretty easily entertained.
  12. There are few things better than sitting on the porch on a beautiful May day listening to the Grateful Dead! This is a phenomenal show!
  13. I’ve got an appointment in July with the surgeon and then a team of oncologists. I’m likely choosing between the lesser of two shitty solutions, but I’ll make the best decision I can for the long term.
  14. My Gleason score is 3/4 (7) and 5 out of 12 samples came back cancerous.
  15. That makes it sound like a lot when you put it that way.
  16. I don’t think Elvis is going to try it, but rather gauging if his consumption was on par with what eventually killed MAC. There may be a few of us wondering the same thing. For example, was he consuming a 1.75 liter of whiskey a week or was it more? Asking for Elvis.
  17. Now top it with Hollandaise sauce.
  18. I always make my eggs over easy when I make eggs Benedict at home.
  19. I haven’t met him yet, but I’m going to MD Anderson fro treatment. And that’s one of the questions I need to ask. You read all of the stats on recovery and they say X percent have side effects. Well, I assume that a pretty good portion of that X percent didn’t go to a surgeon that uses robotics and does 7 or 8 of these a week as opposed to using their hands and doing 7 or 8 a year. I would assume the MD Anderson success rate is much higher. We’ll see.
  20. It is not the aggressive kind. I’m fortunate that way. I almost feel like is shouldn’t post in this thread because what I have is 100% survivable. I may choose the radiation option or I may choose the surgery route. You can search the implications of prostate cancer if you want…let’s just say that the results of either path are less than desirable. I’d almost rather have a different kind of equally treatable cancer.
  21. This is me exactly. I don't mix sweet and savory. Egg yolk on bacon, sausage, papas, hash browns, toast, refried beans, or a tortilla? All good.
