  1. I never even watch of a minute of the playoffs once the Spurs are out.  My wife is a Rockets fan, so I have to act like I am cheering for them.  It actually wouldn't be bad to see them knock off the Warriors in the WCF only to see them lose in the Finals.  And even if they do end up winning, I would rather them win it than GS. I fucking hate that team.

  2. The Royal Palace is pretty damn cool.  They have a armor museum on the bottom floor with all of the different varieties of armor the Spanish knights wore into battle.  I can't imagine how hard it must have been to fight with that stuff on.  Puerta de Sol is a cool gathering spot at night as is Plaza Mayor.  Order a large pitcher of Sangria and just people watch.  Retiro Park will be perfect in late April for just strolling around.  

  3. We did this several years ago on Shaggy and it was pretty fun.  We have some new faces since then, so it may be fun to do again here.  

    I shot a 78 at Roy Kizer several years ago.  I played just a few minutes after the State Championships has finished, so the course was in great shape.  They had grown the Bermuda rough high enough that if you didn't hit the fairway you were going to have a tough time getting the ball to the green.  Hell, it was deep enough that it might take a while to find your ball in the rough.  The greens were in perfect shape and I made a lot of putts.  I don't play even close to as much as I did back then and can't imagine playing that well right now.  Reminiscing is all I have.

  4. I went to the Dec 2 show in Austin and it was awesome.  Mayer isn't Jerry, Otel isn't Phil, and Jeff isn't Brent.  As long as you adjust your expectations accordingly, you will have a great time.  Is it as good?  No, but I enjoyed the hell out the show I saw.  Where else can you possibly fill that void from the high that you get from a Dead show?  And here is a great Help>Slipknow>Franklin's.

    There are very few "good" options if you're going burbs honestly. I have similar hours to yours and it makes the commute from The Woodlands reasonable if I take the Hardy toll road. If I left the house any later in the morning or the office in the afternoon and it would be an extremely painful exercise. In the mornings if I leave by 5 mins to 6 (so a bit later than you would be probably), I can be at my desk by 6:35 or 6:40. Ride home is more like 50-55 mins if I leave the office at 4.

    There is also a shuttle bus that you can ride from The Woodlands into downtown.  As long as you leave downtown by 3:30, the commute to The Woodlands down the Hardy Toll Road should be about 45 minutes.

    Depends on what you eat.  On another note, there may be some bad weather today with a tornado dong.

    Anybody got a saltwater pool?

    Had one in Houston. Never really produced enough chlorine during the heavy swim season to keep me satisfied, so I supplemented with bleach here and there. It was fine during the fall through spring. I'd imagine you'd have the same problem in Florida. 

     

    I have one now and I love it.  I don't have the chlorine issue.  The only real issue that I have is that the salt is slowly disintegrating my flagstone.  If i had it to do over again, I would choose a more sturdy flagstone.
