  1. I’m in Covid hell. Upthread I mentioned dad got it we think at a convention in Austin. Came to visit down here in Port A and got sick and I kept him here for 2 weeks. A week after he left I got it I’m guessing from someone in a bar. At the same time my mom who I haven’t seen in 2 months got it, pretty sure that was a 2 hour car ride she had with a lady that tested positive the next day. She lives in San Antonio. So a week after I’m over it my girlfriend’s kids come down from Dallas. 2nd day they are here her son isn’t feeling good. Next day he has a sore throat and chills get him a Covid test and of course it’s positive. 10 hours later his girlfriend and her mom also pop positive. They were all in a car together on the drive down from Dallas for 8 hours. If you haven’t gotten this recent variant don’t get in a car with anyone. on the plus side, everyone has been very mild. 24-48 of a sore throat and chills and then nothing but tired. My mom was the only one worse than that but she has other health issues. 76 years old and way underweight in fact her doctor told her before Covid was a thing she needed to eat more because she would struggle to fight off a virus. She’s 20 days in now, got the monoclonal antibody and 3 other IV infusions and is much better now. Never had to go to the hospital. This shit is running through pretty much everyone I know. All over the state. All are vaxxed and only 1 of the above I mentioned have had it before, but most of us are newbies to Covid.
  2. Need to quote this again because this time of year you will not typically catch blackfin tuna, or any tuna unless you do an overnight charter 100 miles out. That was a badass 6 hour trip.
  3. Grumbles is nothing if not meh. Great location though and their shrimp tacos are good. Basically it’s yet another overpriced restaurant on the island. Go to Fins for that kind of food and it will be better. im not a huge fan of La playa but love their fajitas and margaritas. Have fun.
  4. That’s surprising on the black fin. Private charter? Never mind just saw you were on Let It Ride. Good peeps.
  5. Bernie’s still has some time left on their lease. Not sure exactly when they will be moving. Shorty’s is moving at the end of November.
  6. Gonna plug Bron’s Backyard on Avenue G across the street from Port A Pizzeria. What started as a golf cart rental and snow cone business now has food and a wine/beer bar. Live music a few nights a week and a ton of outdoor games. If you’ve got young kids it’s a great place to go hang out.
  7. Yeah they don’t give a shit. I’ve never been asked for any form of paperwork or ID there. Occasionally a hotel will ask to see your passport but that’s it. The worst thing that ever happened was when we were bringing in a cooler full of brisket and ribs. The dude took about 3/4 of our food. I guess his family was hungry.
  8. No. The 7 day daily average for the United States has been below 400 since mid April. It’s currently at 265.
  9. Mississippi Gulf Coast tournament was this weekend. Same boat won again for the third time in a row. They are doing something right. 763 pound blue and won over 600,000 dollars. Port A boat was 3rd in catch and release but won all the money because the boats that beat them weren’t in the big money pots. They won about 160,000.
  10. I’m always surprised y’all don’t like Bob more. his personality would fit right in here on Surly. He’s a Mizzou grad but both parents were Longhorns and he’s a huge fan. I spent the Vince USC game with him in LA the and the TJ Final 4 in New Orleans. Good times, and hey we were 1/2.
  11. Shit at this rate he may get 2 more.
  12. Where the fuck was that pitch?
  13. More runs please. ok that’ll work
  14. Might have a play? Yeah off the net
  15. We’ll I went to the bar - Shortys - at 3 thinking I’d be watching the game there. But yeah my pitch count is set back to 1 now that I’m home.
  16. I’ve somehow managed to save 17 beers out of the 18 pack I bought earlier. If this game starts, and finishes, we are all going to die.
  17. Because they are already losing? Yes. jfc
  18. No, we start at negative 5. How regarded are you?
  19. You have a better idea? And no it doesn’t take a wealthy person to set it up. Austin could do what San Antonio did right now with the funds they are misusing. Unfortunately it takes a bunch of people on the same page. There a reason Haven hosts people from all over the world for tours every week.
  20. We were already going to be hungover tomorrow and we are assholes anyway so, play ball
  21. I’m gonna need more beer.
