  3. Brother in law’s wife who pilots for a major freight company just got back from her East Asian route: “Several people have asked “what it’s like” to fly over in Asia with the current world situation. I was lucky to only lay over in Narita (Tokyo) this trip, flying down to Shanghai and back during the day. You start feeling sort of like a “hot potato”, because once you’ve hit one country, the next one doesn’t want anything to do with you. China was particularly challenging, and way more challenging for our crews actually staying there vs. passing through. Chinese airspace was so quiet, it truly was eerie. Japan seemed a little more “normal” on the ground...except it’s not. Schools are closed, many public venues are shut down. Annual Sakura celebrations cancelled, tourist attractions such as museums and Disney are closed. I really don’t suggest traveling to Japan or anyplace else over here unless you have to.” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  5. Fire in Paradise. Short documentary about Camp Fire wildfire in CA. Pretty intense. Hard to imagine being in that situation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Marcella. Pretty good Brit crime drama. Deeply flawed main character. Season 2 ending pretty crazy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. Yeah, but maybe everything that dies some day comes back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Wife of my brother in law pilots big planes for a global delivery company. East Asian route. Been off last couple of weeks but headed out a couple of days ago. She was at Narita International, Japan and said traffic control was quiet and TCAS that shows air traffic was empty. Said the Shenzhen, China layover hotel had “temp takers” an “snot testers” and police guards outside. Crews are restricted to one wing and no housekeeping. Her main concern was the Lobby Bar was closed. Am not inviting her over when she gets back. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  10. Robin Hood Brians is an East TX. icon. Hid produced lots of regional garage bands back in the day. “Since he opened his studio in 1963, Robin has recorded hits for the Five Americans, The Uniques, David Houston, Mouse and the Traps and John Fred & His Playboy Band. He also recorded ZZ Top‘s first four albums and had a hand in Willis Allan Ramsey‘s classic album from 1973. Even James Brown and Ike & Tina Turner have stopped in to lay down some tracks.” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  12. 9/11 2001 is when things changed. Especially in the Lajitas and Paso Lajitas area. We started going to the area not long after Pablo was killed and would cross the river to ride to San Carlos on our mountain bikes. We would eat lunch there and ride back. Portions of the ride went through Mimi’s ranch. There is a cool waterfall on her property. I think she worked at the Lajitas trading post for a while before it was sold.

  13. From the current KJP trail steward concerning the fence: “Sit tight for a few weeks on access issues. Solutions are being explored.” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Before it became an official trail. You don’t have to be a member to view the trail conditions updates on the website. Last update on KJ Feb. 28. Open/closed denotes if the trail is open or closed. Probably more info on the FB page but I’m not on that. Not a bad idea to give DORBA a few bucks for a membership if you enjoy mountain biking. The do/have done a tremendous amount of work. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  16. Makes me mad when they think they know everything! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. Haven’t been there since it became “official”. Talked to the guy who was the original Trail Steward there but he doesn’t know what’s going on out there now. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. I spent hours and hours with Mapsco and USGS locating areas, surveying them and trying to find out who owned them. It was challenging because there were so many different entities to deal with. City, county, TP&W, Corps of Engineers etc. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. I crossed the river illegally via rowboat several times to eat at this place. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. I actually saw a dude wearing a mask yesterday. In Kroger. In Frisco. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  23. When we started building trails the only place to ride was the original section of Northshore and an “illegal” area on Hwy 360 south of the airport. It was a real challenge finding suitable public land in D/FW, a large urban area in a state with very limited public land. Not only that, most of the land managers knew next to nothing about Mountain Bikes. They were also used to dealing with “user groups” like equestrians who pretty much whined and made demands about the trails. We told them all we wanted was access and we would build and maintain the trails. Win/ Win for them. We started the official trail steward program in the early 90s. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. Always wanted to visit there. Shit starting to get crazy there too. World Rally Championship is there in a couple of weeks. https://apnews.com/4a77acc65e8d2bdf0c03c020b3c17848 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
