  1. All of the Rexall Rangers playing cowboy need a place to be seen-Timmy boy just bringing what the market will bear and making bank. That said, FUCK Tim Love.
  2. The wife made the reservations and got us a room.
  3. We are flying Air Canada (hopefully it takes off and with our luggage) to Montreal on Monday to start a seven day train trip to Halifax followed by a three day excursion to Prince Edward Island. Any surly suggestions regarding restaurants, sites to see, excursions, etc.? There are several options offered by the tour company but wanted to get any good suggestions as well as what to skip while traveling. And by the way, I think getting into Fort Knox would be easier than going to Canada these days-the restrictions and required paperwork are an ass whipping.
  4. I has a sad and will miss going here when in town for HS reunion.
  5. Drinking at the University Pub/Hi Hat/Oui Lounge and eating a burger at Jon's Grille was a weekly endeavor for me back in the 80's. But while at the Oui would let Johnny Whitten bring dinner to the bar from Caro's, a precursor to door dash.
  6. The fact that it outlasted the Caravan of Dreams and Reatta (now) still is a head scratcher for me.
  7. Can do this. Any day M-F that week works.

    Second. They do good work.
  9. The Harbor Group at 7am is my home group. Come around 6:30 and I'll buy the coffee.
  10. Golden Triangle in Keller 7pm, Language of the Heart 6pm in Colleyville, Grapevine Unity 6pm. I have been to these and heard the solution as well as enjoyed the fellowship. If you are feeling frisky, Harbor 6pm in FW is also an option, but Sunday there is a breakfast meeting at 9am followed by a speaker at 11 which is always a good choice.

    JM would have shown her where his nickname came from, maybe even taking a selfie with her while doing so, you know, for sentimental reasons cause he was such a sensitive guy😎
  12. Here in FW, the Harbor Group has continued to experience a resurgence in the in person meetings with attendance in numbers higher than during the lockdown. The zoom meetings continue as well with consistent numbers and new additions from across the country and other continents. The wife is a daily zoom participant while I prefer the in person gatherings where the meeting before the meeting and after the meeting is part of my daily routine. Our birthday nights are broadcast on zoom while being held in person, both of which have seen record participation. Speaker meetings use the same format. I value the zoom meetings while out of town or out of the country as it keeps me in touch with my home group, but also allows for supporting monetarily through paypal. In short, the pandemic did not hinder the ongoing work-it inspired the fellowship to access a new format for sharing locally and worldwide. Members who have moved out of town have continued to participate through zoom and it is good to see them and hear their recovery stories.
  13. Sweet girl! Happy birthday to you.

    Surly go fund me is in the works here for sure.
  15. Having grown up in Corpus and lived there until 1974, Port A is near and dear to my heart, and kudos for taking her to Shorty's. Looks like heaven in these pictures and bring back many fond memories.

    And this wins the internet today. Even though scanning a menu into said phone is an option at may places, missing the latest facebook post or responding to the latest tweet with infinite wisdom takes priority. 😈
  17. So many caption possibilities here: "GOING TO THE VET???? I'll just hide here, they'll never find me!"
  18. Never been to Derek Allan's place, but when we drove past Friday afternoon, told the wife we need to check it out. Sounds like urgency level just went to defcon 5 and it might be too late.
  19. Good doggo Rini-you gave it all you had to give here and now are free to celebrate with your new friends for eternity. Hugs to you Penelope-whenever I read these posts, I am always reminded about the four times I have had to do the responsible thing for my canine kid, and it gets real dusty right after.
  20. Correct.
  21. It's bad enough having to fill out all of the paperwork required to visit Canada before you can enter, but now with the national airline being so unreliable, it becomes even more of a hassle. Our tour company has not been very helpful either with suggestions which makes this upcoming trip feel more like an antacid commercial than anticipated vacation.
  22. A good man that Robbie. My wife worked with his wife Yvonne for several years and got to know him. Miss the Bucket.
  23. NOT what I wanted to hear but got an email from AC yesterday describing their excuses for delays, cancellations, etc. Reminds me of the thoughts and prayers line that does victims no good when the problem is not fully addressed. We are scheduled to fly into Montreal and board a train for a seven day trip across eastern Canada on the 25th. Am going to be watching the flight to see if it completes in the weeks prior to our departure. Also, this little information might have something to do with the "labour shortage & beyond our control" bullshit: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/air-canada-layoffs-1.5572596
  24. Griff's gonna have to up their game sounds like. Always enjoy the 377 location in Granbury and now will check out this one.
  25. Outstanding pic. The allied effort to get this done and the failure of the axis to discern the ruse still is so amazing to me.
