    I have Direct, ABC app with a Firestick is working fine for live TV (Kimmel) now. So ESPN3/+ should also be good to go this weekend for those affected. 

     

    I'll post a stream for the P12 game tomorrow night too. 

    I just installed the ABC app on my Roku.  The schedule shows games tonight and tomorrow.  It looks like this is an option for me.

  2. Disappointed they didn't televise Sark's after game press conference last night.  Sometimes they cut it off early.  I watched it this AM on Youtube, however.  Always liked to watch the post game show.

    Can’t confirm from my 55th reunion six years ago…..

    I know a couple of guys from the class of '63 (one recently dec'd), but don't recognize either from that photo.  Most St. Ed's guys I know graduated in class of '65.

    When I got my first job in high school my dad just sent me to the local library to grab a paper 10-EZ form. I don't even think I made enough money to qualify as having to pay taxes but still had to report.

    I filed when I was in jr. high and high schools but didn't need to taxwise.  All my employers back then withheld from my pay, so I had to file to get that witholding refunded.

  5. A little off topic, but I didn't want to start another.  Sometime in the '70s, there were some smaller, progressive country music concerts at Steiner Ranch.  Not sure if before or after the Sunday Break concerts, as I don't remember them.  Wish I had seen the Band live, though.

    One of these had Willie, Billy Joe, Alex Harvey (wrote Delta Dawn, played LA swamp rock), and the Wheel.  The other had Waylon, Jimmy Buffett, and Rusty Wier.  I know Tommy Steiner performed at one of them.  Other performers were there, but I can't remember who or recognize in what photos I had.

    All I have are contact sheets, as I lost any original photos and the original negatives in a flood in 2015.

    Only stories I have are that some hippies went skinny dipping in Bull Creek, but we stayed away as we had our young kids (under 10 yo)  with us.  I also missed what could have been the best photo I could have taken.  Willie had come out and sat in the audience, apparently chatting up some cutie.  One of our party told my 5-6 year old daughter to go give Willie a kiss, which she did.  All of us thought it was great, but sitting there with a camera in my lap, I didn't even think to capture the moment.  Lotsa beer that day.

    I do have some old scans, however.

    So I’ve not eaten Whataburger much lately as the ones around me have been victimized by the Outfit. Kids live in Shawnee, OK. They are promoting the chili cheese burger which is basically a double meat double cheese Whataburger with Fritos, chili, mustard and onions. I like that kind of burger but I really like a regular burger with chili. Like what a Chilis OldTimer with chili was. So here’s a Whataburger with cheese all the way with chili. It fucking rocks. I may go get another.

    Had one last week.  Added grilled japs.  Tasty. Maybe try with Texas Toast next time.

    You old-timers remember when the DPS had a small office just north of the Capitol that was there for the convenience of the politicos?

    I remember walking in (no appt.) and there were three clerks just standing there and they all said, "May I help you?" I picked the hottest chick and got down to the business at hand, right there at the counter.

    No, but I took my driving test at the Ranger Station at Fair Park.

    Haven't been able to watch in over a month because of a silly contract dispute between Nexstar and Uverse/Direct TV.  Really sucks because it's kind of me and my son's deal to watch together and discern how much we suck at geography, and the difference between Finland, Norway, Sweden, and the Dutch (f da Dutch).

    We watch it on the YouTube streams.  You are not missing much.  It's reruns, due to the WGA strike.

    Had one today, and it slammed with extreme prejudice just like always. It needs to return to its rightful place on the permanent menu.

    Same same.  Picked up daughter and her family from ABIA this morning and enjoyed one at the Whataburger in the cell phone lot.

    Passed by the location today on the way back from the beach. It’s called Bier Haus. Looks like they have one other location in Lubbock. And I had forgotten, but they also bought Spaghetti Works awhile back.

    Are they going to convert Jay's or continue the seafood and spaghetti?

    I thought Morgonnic was the big chested broad that used to run around minor league baseball stadiums kissing people?  Or was that Melania in tier II eastern european football clubs?  I dunno.

    Close.  Morganna.  Of course she's almost my age (75+), so prolly not the same attraction as many years ago. It was fun while it lasted.

  12. Hey, @justhookit,

    Was Shell's bought by the same guy who owns the Holiday Inn Express property and the old Rock Cottages and Laughing Horse properties?  Or is someone going to put a new restaurant there?

    Gonna be a lot of units up at Eleventh and G.

    Did the guy from Shell's retire?
