  1. Wahoo. Best eating fish in the ocean.
  2. I feel your pain right now. Just got really bad news and now it looks like I need to replace one engine. To do that is a major job - they have to cut into the decking in the salon and basically remove the back window/wall too. The cost of doing that makes it to where I might as well replace both engines while I’m at it. Going to lose about 2 months of the fishing season too. Fuck. It’s a little unclear what caused the initial problem. I figured I’d get at least 5 more years out of the current engines. Some combination of bad luck, mechanic error changing the cooling pump a few months ago and not changing the oil when he did it, and someone running the boat and not noticing the oil pressure dropping. So here we are with metal (n the port engine.

  4. Yeah, I’d be a lot more sympathetic if they were younger kids when they did this, or if there was only 1 child involved, but they were adults when the murders took place. As fas as I understand it they also never reported the sexual abuse to anyone until after the murders when they were running around trying to establish an alibi.
  5. This is the correct answer. I do this drive a lot. The similar version is when you get to Luling, just keep going straight on 80 instead of turning onto 183. Then you hit 181 then state hwy 35 to Aransas Pass and the ferry. I pretty much just alternate between those 2 routes depending on if Waze shows any construction. You can’t pay me to drive 35 between Austin and San Antonio.
  6. You are under the impression that the owner wouldn’t want you to post a picture of the outside of the boat? Of a 72 Merritt that gets photographed and then posted on the internet all the time by random people when it’s at the dock, or on the water or fishing? Here I’ll do it for you. Probably not the same boat, but it’s a 72’ Merritt. They are beautiful boats.
  7. Was in Austin Thursday to Sunday. Got back home yesterday afternoon and about 11pm I started feeling terrible. Really bad chills, constant diarrhea , I didn’t throw up but I felt like I could have.
  8. Made it by before the game in time for a few beers and to catch this display of shotgunning IMG_3759.mov IMG_3760.mov
  9. Uh you realize that the people that own boats put the name all over everything because they want to be recognized, right? There is absolutely nothing wrong with posting pictures of the exterior.
  10. Merritts and Rybovichs are in a class by themselves. Their boats built 40 and 50 years ago still turn heads at the docks. Classic lines. Are you on an older one or newer?
  11. This is exactly what I have heard too. Brad was involved in a construction project and the dumpster was on the work site. At any rate I don’t think there is any hope they find her alive and well so I am hoping this lead pans out and the families can get closure and start putting their lives back together.
  12. You, or your coworker, is full of shit. Guessing it’s just you.
  13. Some of us have been consistently attending games since the 70’s and 80’s. Nothing will ever compare to that UH game because of the circumstances that led up to it. Mizzou came closest but it was definitely not the same.
  14. Yup. I mentioned before that I knew him pretty well but it was mainly around junior high age. We didn’t hang out much in high school. I do remember being around him a little the summer before our freshman year at UT. Went to some fraternity parties together, drank a beer or 2 in his room at Castilian and stuff like that. Once school started though I don’t really have any recollection of him. Anyway he was completely normal. Good athlete and student, popular, etc.
  15. So for all 5 of us here on the board that aren’t lawyers this means what? They know he did it but don’t have a body/evidence and don’t want him posting bond on the 2 original charges?
  16. Supposedly their 6 or 7 year old daughter showed up to school Monday morning and told her teacher that “dad hit mommy last night and now she is missing” and that’s how the police first got involved. I knew Brad pretty well especially around junior high age. We graduated the same class in high school but by then we didn’t really hang out all that much. Brad went to Texas also but I pretty much never saw him after the summer of our freshman year. He may have dropped out/transferred I really don’t know. Brad’s older brother Bart was a part owner of Tarpon Inn down here. Brad’s sister Britt was smoking hot (no pics) in high school. She married a Kleberg. That’s all I’ve got.
  17. Just stay away from the hotels they are still ridiculously overpriced. If you can come down with another couple or 2 the condos and houses are a great deal.
  18. Where are you watching the game?
  19. This is a bit overboard even for you. OU sucks. Grow a pair.
  20. Port A is overbuilt and real estate prices are finally dropping here. Glad you are happy with your sale. Short term rentals have come way down too so if you do decide to come down you will find good prices. For example, my wife’s 3 bedroom condo at island moorings is renting for about 250 a night. It was double that or more just a year ago.
  21. There aren’t any bars in Port A. Ive never tried watching a game there, but the outdoor bar there at Palmilla has good TVs. I was there last night and they had live music. It was also overrun with families and kids so we left. If the weather is nice I’d probably watch the game at sip yard.
  22. A few people have brought it up recently in this thread - for 95% of the people the surge/wind isn’t the problem it’s the aftermath with no power and water. The debris everywhere. The smell. It’s fucking miserable. For close to a month or more. After Harvey I came back home to Port A 2 days after landfall but stayed most nights in Corpus where there was power. I was lucky and was able to find a place to stay. That’s one of the hardest (and most expensive) things to do and I imagine it will be much harder in Florida as it’s a more densely populated area.
  23. Spring Break is typically a great time to fish but if you choose Costa Rica you will want to book all your stuff as soon as possible as it gets crowded and prices are higher. You’ll want to go to either Los Suenos/Jaco or Quepos/Manuel Antonio. They are only about an hour drive from each other and boats from both marinas fish the same areas so it doesn’t matter a whole lot which one you choose. Los Suenos has a nice Marriott property with a decent golf course or you can choose a house/condo on the resort property. You can also stay in Jaco which is a 15 minute drive and there are all kinds of lodging options there. My main dislike of Los Suenos is that it doesn’t really feel like you are in Costa Rica it’s more like being in some resort in Florida or somewhere. Quepos marina has a few condos available on site (95% sure they will already be booked) so you likely will need to stay in a house, condo, or hotel in Manuel Antonio which is a 5-15 minute drive. Mostly inshore or offshore fishing? Great charters are available in both places and I can point you to the right boats. My boat is in Quepos and I’d be happy to take y’all out offshore fishing for a day. I’ll be there all of December through April.
  24. They run a tournament out of there that boats from CR and Guatemala travel for. A friend was going to fish it, but he found out that you have to go in and out of the port at high tide only. So some boats do go there. Figured it was sort of a marina that would at least have some smaller boats available. Weird. The fishing is good, too.
