  1. With just 4 days you might want to just stick to Boston proper as you will have plenty to do/see/eat within core downtown. Everyone is driving out to the cape each Friday over the summer and while it's great I'm just not sure you have enough time to really do anything unless you had a couple days. Newport RI is great but again that's a trip by itself. Plenty to do in VT... Visit the Alchemist in Stowe or Whistle Pig in Waterbury if you are into craft beer or Whiskey distilleries.
  2. I'm playing Bandon again this year in late April... before the new course opens but oh well as it should be after the Preserve opens. To DrewLaws question about when to go as it get's close to late summer the prices go up on the rounds as it presumably better weather then. Before April The Preserve is not open and the rounds are the cheapest. Maximizing your dollar you can play two rounds a day so the second one is half price and then it's just all about lodging and what you are going to spend on food and booze. Each year I'm probably spending ~$750 on travel; ~$2500-3000 on lodging, golf, food and drink while on property; $100 a round for caddies; and $400 or so for day money games and gambling in the bunker bar.
  3. Are you sure? I think replacing an outdoor faucet depends on how it's attached. I had some in my old house that were directly soldered onto the Brass pipe therefore to change out would include draining the whole water supply in order to cut it off and put a new one on.
  4. We had several Mexican Black bears on our place just west of San Angelo in the past few years. The guy that I have ranching the property has been chasing them off with dogs every chance he gets so I think they moved a few ranches over this Fall. Not sure if we have any recent pics.
  5. There was a stabbing on South Congress on Dec 18th too but not sure what that ended up being. Also correction when I said the guy committed suicide... he jumped off the Freebirds, I guess that wasn't tall enough to do the trick.
  6. I'll have to get it from her. Two of her coworkers were in Bennu when it all went down. He said the guy was a real shady looking homeless type either hanging around outside the coffee shop or in the coffee shop. While they were sitting he suddenly came in and went crazy stabbing some people; running off afterwards. They are all being held in there for questioning.
  7. I think the guy just committed suicide. My wife works right there she got some of it on film and the guy was being chased by police, climbed up a ladder on the building next to her and push it aside. Sounds like the altercation might have started at Bennu?
  8. My final outstanding deal got signed on the 31st putting me right at annual quota and good enough for top rep. My market has been though this past year and not sure if I see it getting any better in the months to come so might be taking a look around in early 2020. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. For Black eyed peas I just did a Texas caviar that will serve as chips and dip as an app. I put a brisket on last night that should be ready in the next few hours for brunch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Marriott has acquired several small boutique hotel chains as well the you might want to check out. I’ve stayed at some of the Luxury Collection hotels that were really nice. Hotel de Berri in Paris was phenomenal. Ritz properties as mentioned above will always be superb on service (all though sometimes rooms and hotel can be dated) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I have a Denon receiver with several wired speakers around the house and ended up using Chromecast so I could cast Pandora from my Google Home on the main wired speakers. I'm actually struggling right now because while it supports multiple zones I can't seem to figure out how to stream music to them. Ideally I setup speakers outside in a new zone that could play music/different volume etc. I've read that Zones 2 and 3 only support Analog music streams versus the digital and I need to have the source use the RCA inputs but since I'm streaming that's not going to work. Anyone dealt with this?
  12. Hopefully not a bad time to start DCAing in if you are not already. Broke down from 7K so we either retest 6500 or continue down where last line of defense is 5.2.
  13. Irion Country just west of San Angelo
  14. Well shit, I’m heading out this weekend so morning hunts might be rough. However check this 11pt that was taken this past Sunday. One of the best ones I’ve seen in a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Whiskey tasting today runs from 6-9 and it's the one on 12th and Airport (not the 5th location)
  16. 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare I believe
  17. I got a Weller 12 recently here in Austin. Also, if you are not aware they are in the middle of the 12 Days of Whiskey at The Austin Shaker. Each day they are pouring samples of something new and you get a raffle ticket where they open up the vault on the last day and raffle away opportunities to buy rare stuff at good prices. Sampled the Boss Hog last week on Whistle Pig day and Garrison Bros Cowboy Bourbon on Sat.
  18. Some folks got these two off the ranch a few weeks ago. I’m finally going out this weekend to try and take a buck. Unfortunately not going to be very cold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Just a sweat towel hanging on it now. Had I put it in our bedroom there would very likely be clothes hanging on it... therefore I opted for the office.
  20. I bought my wife a Peloton for Christmas last year... I guess I should be shamed now?
  21. How about a really nice steak dinner as a TY for the status gift? I haven't made it to EP in quite a while and Platinum Pro get's you no upgrades.
  22. Like you're dancing with the brisket...
  23. I'm taking the in-laws this week but Brother in law will be coming for the holiday and don't have a ticket. So looking for one extra that I can get him in on and then find a seat near us. Has anyone had issues getting into certain sections with any ticket? I'm lower so should I buy a lower just to make sure?
  24. Bounced at 6500 even tho really no historical support there. Did get a bit of a relief rally back about 7K... likely have resistance at 7400 and some support at 7020. I'd say we consolidate here for a few days as it decides whether we go back to find new lows or back up toward 10k.
  25. Two words... Rock Rose In all seriousness at least in your 40s you should be able do do something really nice. Seeing that I guess the outing was last night maybe just give us an update on where you went. If you did anything less than $5K in private rooms at the Rose I'm disappoint.
