I might be the only one that loves that route. Now Ft Worth to Amarillo is a drag, but once I reach Amarillo then I'm having a good time.
Just north of Amarillo you have some wonderful views with those canyons and it certainly looks nothing like Central Texas. The Dalhart to Clayton portion is the excitement of leaving Texas and seeing who can spot the first antelope. Clayton to Capulin is looking for the first signs of the Rockies, plus the volcano is actually a fun stop. Capulin to Raton is basically a victory lap watching the temperature drop and the terrain getting better and better.
We're summer Colorado people though so maybe that's what makes it more enjoyable to us.
Fuckin' A this. I look forward to the Amarillo to Crested Butte stretch every summer. Getting to Amarillo sucks, though.
The one town we've been driving through for 20 years that I never understood is Trinidad. It always struck me as a town that has a lot of potential, but the population has been between 9-10k for the past 60 years. It sits at the base of a really cool mountain. From the highway it looks like it should have a historic downtown with breweries, restaurants, an art district, etc. It has fairly mild winters by Colorado mountain standards and hot summer days/cool summer nights. Access to fishing. I never understood why it wasn't more of an outdoors destination town. Then I found out that much of the land around Fisher's Peak was privately owned. That changed in 2019 apparently.
May need to start looking at property.

Here are some pics of the house we rent. There is a dumb waiter that allows you to send dishes back and forth between the kitchens. Simple things like that entertain me.
Much like the Oxford comma, spaces can really change the interpretation of a sentence.
Dude is out there just making a living, and fucking tourists are calling him dumb.

Kenny Rodgers at Rodeo Austin was horrific and sad. Kenny could barely sing or stand. He rolled out to the stage in a golf cart. He brought up other performers to sing his songs. To top it off, he yelled at the crowd for not knowing the words to "Just Dropped in".
I told the Mrs. that we needed to do a little more research before we agree to go to any concert, particularly one for an aging former star.
I was at that show, and that is my answer to the "worst concert question". Holy Christ that was awful. Your description doesn't scratch the surface of how bad it was. Kenny had one foot in the grave.
We saw Tanya Tucker one of the years before that and she was ok. She could still sing and her voice sounded roughly the same. I feel like we went to another one of the "nostalgia" concerts at Rodeo Austin another year but cant remember which one. Kenny was the last.

I've long been of the opinion that "Shook me all night long" is the greatest rock song ever recorded. It's probably only around #5 of my favorite AC/DC songs, but in terms of greatest, it checks all the boxes better than others.
Great guitar intro
Memorable chorus that's easy to sing to
Good solo
Tight 3 1/2 min length
Lyrics fit "rock and roll".
It gets in, rocks your face off, then gets out.

I get your point, but he went from 2022 80%, 2023, 83%, and 2024 68%. I'd say that's regression and he's in his own head. That's a steep drop-off. These aren't anything past 40 yards, these are 40 and closer. Bobby even mentioned he spoke with a former Longhorn kicker who even said Bert is in his own head and he has to figure it out. 9 days from now I don't think the bulb is just going to come on for him. It may, but I doubt it.
He's not 68% from 40 and closer. That kick the other day was the first he's missed inside of 40yards all season. He has been terrible from beyond 40 yards, but I don't call that a "gimme", especially for a college kicker. That's what I was challenging.
I don't disagree he's in his own head on longer kicks, because he clearly has a strong leg and has had success from 40+ yards in previous seasons. But those aren't gimmes.

Absolutely. And I hope they do have tryouts. Dude has regressed in unimaginable ways. It's baffling. How do you constantly miss gimme FGs? Like, wtf?
Let me start by saying he has regressed from last year. But what do you consider a "gimme" in college? Bert was 9 of 9 inside of 40 yards before the one he missed one to win it the other day. Do you consider 40-45 yards a gimme? These are college kids, not pros.
Place kicking has come so incredibly far in the last 20 years that I'm not sure anyone remembers when 50-52 yards was considered the far end of NFL kickers range.
Place kicking is so technical and can be just like golf with the yips. Or when you line up over a putt and the hole looks the size of a ball. It happens. These kids aren't pros. But there's a reason I tell my 13 year old if he can kick the ball consistently from 45 yards he can get a scholarship to a good school. He's in 7th grade and is pretty solid from 32 and in right now.

Did 4 pizzas tonight using TJs dough and 2 using Central Market frozen dough from HEB. Much better effort. Was able to stretch the dough out thinner this time. Also was able to find low moisture whole milk mozzarella as opposed to skim milk. Much better melt and flavor, and noticeably greasier. Found that at Wal Mart of all places. Could not find it at HEB. I think I may actually prefer the Central Market dough, but both were good. Problem is I'm jacked up on Semaglutide so could only down 3 or so pieces. Wife and kids approved.

What was your process for getting the CM dough ready to cook? How long to thaw?
