  1. Wife and I went to Latuli last night in Memorial. Bryan Caswell is the chef. Really enjoyed it. Has a lot of Italian dishes but other things as well. We ordered 3 shareables and the food was great. Caswell's partner who owns the building is a Longhorn and was in the real estate business. She built the space and it is beautiful. She came and chatted with us and is a very nice/classy woman. Highly recommend it.
  2. Like the bone super spook topwater, a gulp shrimp under a popping cork, a strike pro hunchback (pink is my best color), and then just a paddle tail on a jighead -- white and chartreuse is my go to. Gulp shrimp under a popping cork might be your best bet this time of year.
  3. I lost a bunch of weight just by quitting booze cold turkey several years ago. Not drinking also means I am up at 5 with a clear head and feeling great, so I go walk the dog and then do my HIIT workout in the garage. That would not happen when I was drinking. So it is kind of a force multiplier for me. If I would have known how much better I feel completely abstaining from alcohol, I never would have started.
  4. I have never had issues getting a next day pass to Glacier so long as I do so by 9 or so. Have gotten them as late as 10.
  5. Can you get one night before? I know Glacier sells out of advance tickets months before. But each night around 7 they release quite a few for next day. As long as you log in by 9 or 10, you pretty much can always get a pass. Does RMNP do the same? I rarely bother with passes at Glacier. In NW Montana it does not get dark until 10:30. And you do not need a pass after 3. We go at 3. Park is emptying out, there is almost no traffic going eastbound from West entrance of park as everyone is leaving, and you can actually find a place to park near popular trails. It is cooler in evening and the animals are moving. Less people on trails. And there is plenty of time before it gets dark to do a substantial hike.
  6. Going to ski A Basin this weekend to break up drive to Whitefish for the summer. On way back in August, we are going to spend a week in Aspen to scratch that itch. I love Aspen and always will. But it has gotten too expensive to spend a month there like we used to. I was looking at my old email confirmations, the in town condo we always rent is literally triple what it was in 2019.
  7. We do a few dinners. But lunch somewhere nice every day.
  8. Adrian Peterson's college career is massively overranked by most fans due to his success in the pros. He was great as a true freshman and then had two pretty good seasons. I often see him ranked as the best college running back from the Big 12. Nope. No way. Several were better. And both Ricky Williams and Darren Sproles were far better college backs.
  9. Reed is unlikely to stay healthy all year at his size. He's built like Reggie McNeal.
  10. Definitely. He was more aggressive and more willing to battle pre 2006. But still took too much bread. Even the great 2002 class had too much bread
  11. Pistol is this: Glock G40 Gen 4 10mm Pistol MOS 6" 15rd - UG4030103MOS Got it for $550 on sale. Seemed reasonable.
  12. That's what I bought. But I think it is 220. Here is what order said: Buffalo Bore Outdoorsman 10mm Auto 220 grain Hard Cast Flat Nose Handgun Ammo, 20/Box - 21C/20
  13. Picking up a Glock 10 mm I bought on sale from PSA today. Need something for bears in addition to spray as I do a lot of summer hiking in bear country (Montana). Glocks aren't pretty. But they sure are functional. Wanted something bigger than my 9mm and more capacity than my Sig 45. Bought some 220 grain ammo made for big game to pair with it.
  14. Went out and fished surf last weekend with a friend on his boat around Surfside. We crushed the trout and had limits early. Then went after reds and never found them. A surf bite is so much fun. I started with Super Spook bone topwater and then switched to white talcs. They were hitting everything.
  15. Heading up to Whitefish, Montana for rest of summer in a couple days. Thinking about skiing A Basin on way if it is open this weekend. I like the mountain and grew up skiing Summit County. But I have never skied there this late. What's it like in June? Has to be slushy, I assume.
  16. I went in July in 2014. It is a little warmer than when I usually go (November). But not that much different. Island is also less crowded that time of year. I am a big fan of doing nice lunches and then cooking dinner. Because most of the time, it gets dark too early to enjoy dinner views. Love Santa Fe, Shellona, and Sand Bar at Eden Rock for lunches. I recently booked ten days during Thanksgiving with wife and kids. Flying SWA into Puerto Rico and then Tradewinds into SBH. It's been a few years since we have gone, so I am pumped. I really prefer a villa over a hotel. I like having more space and being able to cook dinners while kids swim in villa pool and do simple breakfasts in.
  17. I do not worry about recruiting under this regime. Sark is a much better recruiter than Mack Brown was, who was overrated as a recruiter because he was unwilling to fight for 50-50 or longshot studs and took too much bread so he could brag about only making 28 offers and getting 25 commits. That shit drove me crazy. Wake me up in December when we sign another top 3 class.
  18. Nice. Post some pics for us. Leaving for our place in Montana as soon as kids get back from camp next weekend. We stay all summer and take the dog, so we drive up like the Griswolds. Going to hit spend a couple days in Bozeman on way up to show the kids Yellowstone. We did GTNP on way home last summer. I have not been to Yellowstone in almost 20 years, so I am pumped. Glacier entrance is about 35 minutes from my house, and I go there at least once a week during the summer. I love hiking there. The boy and I are going to section hike the Glacier portion of the Continental Divide Trail, which is something I have wanted to do for years.
  19. I am member of a golf club Aikman is a member of in Indian Wells. It's a club with about 300 members so everyone knows everyone. Aikman is an extremely nice guy.
  20. Fuck that. I get stronger doing 4-6 reps of heavy (for me) weights. But I also do push ups and pull ups every day.
  21. Once on vacation with my family I got to meet the guy who met Andy Griffith.
  22. More than that. Usually in an ass kicking like that there are a lot of turnovers, short field, defensive and special teams scores. Nope. Not this game. This was A&M going three and out, punting, and OU driving down the field for a touchdown. They did that 11 times in a row until there was 3 minutes left in the third quarter with first, second, and third teamers. Then they put in the scout team to run fullback dives with a running clock. A&M's best drive of the day went to the A&M 39. So they never made it within 10 yards of midfield. What's crazy is like on the first or second play of the game, Reggie McNeal threw a beautiful deep ball down the sideline to A&M receiver D'qwan Mobley. He had two steps and was hit in stride. And just dropped it. Would have been 7-0 A&M.
  23. He got his Corvette back from Dana Delaney's character (widowed teacher). Was in middle of last season.
  24. Yep. Need to lock him up now before he gets even more expensive.
