  1. Noooooo. That was fun. The law firms I was a runner for in school would 911 me. I knew who to answer immediately and the other ones I would just call them from the pay phone at Abel’s like “what? I’m busy with 2 electric lemonades.”
  2. Sounds like a typical day in Port A. Care to share what boat? @CycleTex87
  3. Sandbar? I’m not a shark expert. But yes ^ it’s likely a shark.
  4. Oh shit. I’m finally going to have to listen to one of these.
  5. If we land Carr Beard deserves a raise, right now. We’ve basically sold 7 all conference type guys on playing time. edit- I’m pretty sure he showed these guys the roster while Shaka was still here. We were going to be dogshit. Like worst team in my lifetime. To even be in the conversation for a top 5 to 10 team is amazing. Can’t wait to see what happens.
  6. Snapper went from overfished - and they were - to underfished quickly. This is what happens when you put a federal person in charge of what should be a state managed resource. 5 years ago we would stop and try to get grouper on the way in from marlin fishing and you could put a 12 inch 2 pound bait and never get close to the bottom because the snapper would be all over it.
  7. I didn’t post this on the DT thread because I didn’t want to cloak it up, but when talking about mass killings a couple of posters wanted to place a lot of the blame on the media coverage and social media. I found this article interesting - https://www.cjr.org/analysis/christchurch-shooting-media-coverage.php tldr, the United States was less likely than other English speaking countries to publish the shooters name, at least in the Christchurch shooting.
  8. I wouldn’t call Crazy Cajun very good by any means, but it’s fine for what it is- family style crawfish boil. If all your wife wants is a boil then I think the shrimp one at Virginia’s is much better, just be prepared to get there early. Their wait times this summer for dinner have been 30 minutes to 3 hours.
  9. It’s been really good lately down in the Manuel Antonio and Los Suenos area. Where are you going?
  10. Also on the way back stayed in SA for 2 nights. One night dinner at Cappy’s was great as always. One night at Chris Madrid’s and I hate to say it wasn’t as good as it used to be. Went out one night after dinner and ended up at Hanzo’s since Bar Du Mon AMI was closed for vacation. Got reported by the Lyft driver for not having a mask on. didn’t know that was a thing.
  11. Yeah I spent the 4th holiday on a ranch just outside Utopia. Even though I grew up in San Antonio I had never spent time in that area. It was beautiful and a ton of fun.
  12. For any of y’all that might be coming here this week, the rumor is that Robert Earl Keen is going to be playing in the Virginia’s parking lot Saturday evening. I’m going to stress rumor at this point. He’s definitely playing for a billfish tournament but I’m still not sure where exactly he is setting up. If it’s in the parking lot at Virginia’s it will be easy to go out back of Shorty’s to listen. Shorty’s will also have their own band like usual on the front porch. Alternatively you could just sign up for the tournament for a few grand and get tickets.
  13. Which condos? we left town and spent the holiday out on a ranch near Utopia. Wanted to avoid the idiots here for the 4th and also got really lucky and only got rained on once up there. Got back to town yesterday afternoon to a lake in the lot next to us. Can’t wait for the mosquitos.
  14. Yes, and they double as lifeboats. They are also hot as fuck with no ventilation. You definitely want to be last to board if you are in a hot climate.
  15. That’s a shallow water rig so it’s near the coastline. I assume this is in Mexico?
  16. What were your stats your freshman year again? And I know y’all had the jv team back then.
  17. All I get out of this thread is that greggym was a better freshman than Hakeem. Of course games weren’t really televised then and maybe he just shut his eyes during film sessions.
  18. The rip tides can get really bad in Port A. I’ve been caught in one and it was scary as fuck even though I knew what was going on. The problem is 95% of the people on the beach don’t understand what is happening and they panic instead of just swimming parallel to the beach until you are out of it. Smaller kids have no chance. There are lots of drownings here every year but most people don’t hear about them for obvious reasons.
  19. This is one of the strangest posts I’ve ever seen, and I myself have had a few in the last week or so.
  20. Black was so fast he could tie Sydney to his left leg and still beat ctj in the race.
  21. Anyone else think Brown just looks ….. awkward? He’s obviously athletically gifted but something just looks off to me in the way he moves.
  22. In. they are going to try to move it.
  23. Ha. I got stuck yesterday in a 30 minute conversation that you would have really enjoyed. Friend of mine and his girlfriend are sailing the boat from here to the Keys, Bahamas, Cuba, and then on down to Panama where they are moving. About every 5 minutes I was thinking this sounds great but when can we talk about the fishing?
  24. Oops. Forgot bout that. It was a good theory though.
  25. Oh trust me you can still lose it. we changed one out a few years ago in the slip at the marina. I stopped watching after about an hour because all I could envision was bad. It worked out. ‘we’ve dove offshore because of line, we’ve managed to get a whole longline in there at least twice, or rope in the prop, and bent props. It ain’t fun and it’s not me going in the water. I’ve seen some messed up stuff.
