  1. I'll say this, the accident happened and it's tragic. I'll also say that every participant in the event would have stacked hands before the event and swear on a stack of bibles that it was totally safe and professionally run. Somehow something went wrong, and it needs to be sorted out. I've seen this same show many times at Wings Over Houston at Ellington, as well as other places around the state and it's amazing the number of planes in the sky, there's never not a plane in front of the crowd during the show. I saw it two weeks ago, walked around both the P63 and the B17, chatted with the crews, and enjoyed watching/listening to the big iron flying. Sad to see these videos. Lives and equipment gone forever.
  2. CSB - I was at an opening day dove hunting event around Breckinridge in the early 80's back during the oil boom. Totally cool shindig, pickups bringing beer and BBQ around the field during the hunt, a dance with a country band that night, and Howard Pardue flying around doing acrobatics over the field in a F4U Corsair. /CSB
  3. I bet the cash spends better than the giant check.
  4. Saw all those guys two weeks ago in Houston. Very sad.
  5. D looks pretty salty tonight.
  6. Odd. Wonder if something is wrong?
  7. I don’t know anything about anything - so the payout is in cash? Really?
  8. I would expect that Crane has already thought two or three moves ahead, and has a plan in place. This is not a half assed organization.
  9. Saw him at Bass Concert Hall on UT campus in 87 or so, with a girl who asked me to go with her. So this hits close to home.
  10. Probably pitch a two-hit complete game shutout against the Astros.
  11. /close thread.
  12. So you keep a guy on the payroll with one foot out the door, spending half his time looking for his next gig?
  13. Is Yuli officially out?
  14. I wouldn't want to be the tow-er or the tow-ee.
  15. Now if you had a corch on the field, look out.
  16. Sounds like Morgan Freeman, but is it really?
  17. Pretty close to collie station.
  18. It has closed in the last 5 years. I work in the area. Just before I joined the company I met my boss there for lunch on the sly as I was with a competitor at the time. We had eaten there a few more times as a group, then found out it was closed. I just celebrated 5 years at the company. Never had the Mother Trucker.
  19. You know, my 80ish mother probably has all those ingredients in her fridge. And has had them for at least 5 years each.
  20. Those guys are usually towed into place by a jetski guy. There’s no way they can paddle fast enough on their own.
  21. I member when Schilling pitched for the Astros.
  22. I like Breg's defense at the hot corner better.
  23. This is the bike I bought for my daughter after college graduation to jack around on. Pretty good kit for the $1300 version. https://feltbicycles.com/products/verza-fitness-bike
  24. They were so openly rooting for Philly the entire series until the 7th inning of game 6, then started some perfunctory accolades for the Astros, like they were reading from a script or something.
