  1. Some other recommendations in the Sci-Fi vein that don't have as strong a statement/message but are still damn entertaining:

    • We are Legion (We are Bob) by Dennis E. Taylor
    • Terms of Enlistment by Marko Kloos

    I wished I knew the Starship Troopers wasn't just a movie. I didn't know how political it was, and how they actually used mech suits instead of just a bit of armor.

    If their is more books like it, is love to read it.

    Popped your cherry eh?  Try these:

    • The Forever War: Joe Haldeman
    • Old Man's War: John Scalzi (it's a short series)
    • Hook 'Em 1

  3. Thank you to Shane 🤘 he helped get the ball rolling again!  Sincere best wishes he gets his time playing balls out for two years then comes back to apprentice under Tom.

  4. The kids are gone, Round Rock ain't what it used to be, allergies, blah blah blah...

    I'm going to be selling some stuff that collects dust and am going to put it up here first (before my wife posts on Facebook, Nextdoor, LetGo, etc.).  There will prolly be a few more things going up as we clean/clear out all the crap we've been hoarding.

    First up - 2x acoustic guitars: Epiphone AJ-500MNS (Masterbilt Dreadnought) and Mitchell MO-100S/VS (standard basic 6 string) - will not split as I need 'em to go, asking $450.

    Nobody in our family ever learned how to play, so they're in outstanding shape if quite dusty - the stand goes with them, we don't have any cases.

    Sorry, no USB ports, cup holders or pix of your mom.  I'm in Round Rock.

  5. My daughter goes to MSOE so I go up about 2x times a year.

    For first timers if you're into Harley's go ahead and take the tour there and eat at the restaurant they provide. Old world 3rd street is great but not a full day's worth of activity, but perfect for an evening if you're on a business trip. Another touristy thing to do is the Miller tour but not one I'd enthusiastically endorse.

    Spotted cow is best in the summertime IMO, I always pick up a few cases when I'm up there.  Al speaks the troof on having cheese curds and mixed drinks (bloody mary's yes) - any cheese up there is awesome IF it's fresh and not frozen.

    I would await The Great One's masterpiece with baited breath, but I don't know what bait would work best.  I'm going with shrimp for now.  If that doesn't work, maybe crab next.

    You have crabs?
