    Yeah, not pass it to our non-existent striker.

    At least our bench and beyond are getting some experience.
  3. Matt is trying so hard to buzz in. A couple times, it actually seemed like he didn't even know the question or the answer.
  4. I think Shiv made a call to a bullshit number and then Kendall called Nate and learned that Shiv never talked to him. Kendall was too pissed to have just gotten a "no longer in service" recording. He would have asked her if she called Nate on a different number. Kendall's reaction was from learning, point blank, that Shiv had flat out lied.
  5. Definitely pro-snake when it comes to cats, also pro-coyote when it comes to cats.
  6. Nothing actually works. Spreading moth balls or crystals around your yard isn't a good idea. Naphthalene is a pesticide that isn't great for the environment, is toxic to pets, and could kill plants.
  7. Here is a pretty good deal on the Thermapen ONE.
  8. Not sure he can find the trigger without a series of mirrors.
  9. Everyone's story is somewhat different and there is no reason to be hesitant to post your story. I tried moderation. I did fine for the two months of no drinking. First scheduled day to drink and I only had one drink, albeit a large pour of Blanton's that you would be given at a bar. Next day - no drinking. Third day, which was supposed to be no drinking started about 45 days of drinking. Not drunk all the time, not drinking all day. Even if it was one beer, it did not correspond with my moderation plan. I eventually realized, for me, it took more effort and anxiety to attempt moderation than it did to stop drinking all together. I don't miss drinking very often. I have no problem going out with buddies and drinking a water, coffee, or something else. No problem pouring my wife a glass of my bourbon*. There are times of stress when I feel the urge or remember what it was like to numb the senses with alcohol. In those, times I "play the tape to the end" and am well aware of where I end up if I take that first drink. The majority of my support comes passively from the guys here. I haven't been to AA, haven't read the Big Book, and haven't consciously performed any steps. This is the only thread on here that I read every time there is a post and read through the entirety of long posts. In the last year or so, I started realizing that I would probably benefit from AA and the 12 steps - just haven't taken the my step yet. *after four years and three months, my wife finished a half-bottle of Buffalo Trace. I had the other half on the last day I drank. Some people are just different.
  10. Do yourself a favor and read more of this thread. I suspect you will find many similarities between your relationship with alcohol and others on this thread. I helps to learn that your story is not unique as it feels and there are options to continuing on your current path. edit - looks like you've been reading more. Keep it up. I read all of the thread on the other site and all of this thread before I quit drinking 4 years, 4 months, and 1 day ago.
  11. Check out the Fireboard thermometers. I have the older version that I use on my kamado. Comes with a great phone app and like six probes - on Thanksgiving I use it with a gas grill and the kamado at the same time. I pair it with a BBQ Guru Pit Viper fan controller and it works great. I have a ThermoWorks Thermapen that I use for quick checks.
  12. Anyone looking for a full proof way of deterring porch pirates? (not my picture)

    Location will be determined by the draw.
  14. I don't know of any new spots around Dripping Springs. The Switch is Stiles Switch adjacent, although it is a sit down and order joint IIRC. Ate there last year around this time and it was about the same as SS. Alice's at Treaty Oak is another restaurant connect to the Treaty Oak Distillery on Fitzhugh. I sampled some of their food at a festival, but don't remember much. There are plenty of places that fall between DS and Disch Faulk. LeRoy & Lewis, Terry Black's, and all of the east Austin joints would probably fit the bill for barbecue.

    I haven't seen any solid reporting or confirmation of Driussi's injury.
  16. I think they drop one-day passes when the release the daily schedule. Not really excited about the lineup this year, but I'll wait until the daily schedule is released to determine if we'll purchase day or two.
  17. Instead on dwelling on his end, feel free to take a look at the legacy he made. Books on Amazon, articles in Houston publications, and articles in many other places, including 244 Texas Monthly articles.
  18. The end of the second video is great. Catch of couple glimpses of Lettermen cracking up in the background. Also, my favorite Kinison bit about living in deserts.
  19. Unfortunately, the most recent report is bad. He is receiving hospice care in the ICU and will not recover. He's leaving two children, so please keep them and his family in your prayers.
  20. Yeah the bridge would fly over Port A and end somewhere near Fish Pass.
  21. Sounds like an awesome outing. I would suggest that the 3wt is plenty on the Llano. Also, you should toss some streamers. Oft times, the larger fish will not hit on the top, but will devour subsurface. Also, as for fly fishing clubs, you might look into the Texas Women Fly Fishers. There are a few women in my club that are also members of TWFF.
  22. Randomly, there are places that serve good Texas style barbecue elsewhere. But why? If you are an expatriate, I get trying to locate a place close to where you live. If I'm traveling outside of Texas, I'm not looking for Texas barbecue. I'll either try local styles of barbecue or whatever non-barbecue the place is known for.
