  1. How about some Holly & The Italians?
  2. Thought I'd join in. I have a few bikes. The one I ride consistently is a VStar 1300. No more sport bikes for me - too hard on the knees. I'm finding I'm enjoying going low and slow. I'm restoring my father-in-law's 1970 Honda CB350 for my wife to ride. It's currently in a gazillion pieces, but I start paint and reassembly next week.
  3. The tone for this game was set in the first inning. We had three strikeouts, including one on a wild pitch. We followed that up by walking the lead off hitter and giving the second guy a base with a catchers interference. Big surprise, those guys scored. This is what bad baseball teams do.
  4. This. My stance is "you can tell me what to do or how to do it. Not both."
  5. My wife and I recently bought a really old house that we're going to renovate. First step is to pull down some badly-installed sheetrock in the entryway to expose the original shiplap boards underneath. We want to paint those so that we get the effect of having the exposed wood. She was trying to put together a project plan last night. For reference, I'm a project manager by trade, so it's clear this wasn't going to go so well. Two of the steps involve pulling down the existing sheetrock, and finishing the boards underneath, and she could not figure out what order to do this in. I spent 20 minutes explaining why you had to pull the sheetrock down first before you could paint the boards underneath. I have no idea how I managed to not run screaming from the building. She kept saying "I have to think visually". Ok, I get that, but we finally got to the point where I said "you're ready to paint, but you haven't pulled the sheetrock down yet. What are you painting?". The answer is "sheetrock", not what she was looking for. I'm still not sure she believes me.
  6. This kid wants to be a Longhorn, and that's good enough for me. I don't care if he ever suits up, I'm pulling for him. Get well, Derrian.
  7. I took some time off work today to meet with an insurance agent about new homeowners insurance and consolidating our car insurance. Wife set it up. I asked her if she had everything she needed. She says yes. Real answer is no, which I found out at the meeting. No VIN numbers, no bank routing numbers, no jewelry appraisals, nothing. Total waste of time. I'm sure it's my fault.
  8. Bingo. Last night in the middle of the night.
  9. I'm in exactly the same place I was before the season. Stop telling me how good the team is. Show me.
  10. Regarding the original post - I coached select baseball for years. Every year, I told my players and parents two things about the umpires: 1) It takes a REALLY good umpire to intentionally affect the outcome of a baseball game. These guys aren't that good. 2) If these umpires were any good, they wouldn't be out here.
  11. Man, do I ever miss the two-strokes. But...I'm an old guy - my last race bike was a Maico. And Tomac seems to have the field covered right now.
  12. Damn shame about Hinch. Given the exposure he's getting in national advertising for Honda, IndyCar would probably be well-served by just starting all 35. You need the face of your series actually in the race.
  13. 10 and a half on the road? Oooffff...that's a lot. I'm sure Herman will have us ready to play, and there is most certainly a revenge factor, but I'd have a hard time laying those points.
  14. I'll be in Section 3. Can't wait.
  15. I'm sure tempted to take the over on Texas. I think maybe we win 8 next year.
  16. Good for the young man. Hopefully he can make a success of the opportunity. Did he sign as an RB or TE?
  17. I have no idea what to expect of this team on a daily basis. Interesting ride, though.
  18. I"m looking forward to see what Tre can do in Austin. Hopefully we will add some packages that take advantage of what he does well.
  19. There is not a chance in the world I'm spending one cent on that movie.
