Blastfurnace 2024
Projected dewpoints at noon on Sunday. Temps in the mid 80's with dewpoints in the 50's is about as nice as it can get in early September.

Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!
Yep. This is what I do. I always get a printed license when I renew at Academy each August, but also update my OA app each year to have on my phone in case I forget/misplace.

2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM
Latest update. Nothing too much to worry about along the TX coast at the moment. That wave from last week is a disorganized mess currently dumping rain on Haiti and the DR. Whatever remains as it heads west looks to be heading towards the Bay of Campeche and continuing on into Mexico. The yellow spot is unlikely to organize and the one off the coast of Africa should stay wellnorth of the Caribbean. Likely a fish storm.

Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!
Got in a successful hunt just outside of Sealy this morning. Birds were flying high and fast, but luckily there were a ton of them. Our group of 5 probably took damn near 200 shots, ended up with 49 birds in the truck and lost probably 8 or 9 that fell into the thick stuff. Not a bad way to start the work week after a 3 day weekend.

Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
Give up 13 hits and 6 walks, you're not very likely to win. Get some rest tomorrow and let's get back at 'em on Wednesday.

Uh oh, just realized we're facing a guy with 6.43 ERA through 14 innings total this season. Doesn't bode well.

Blastfurnace 2024
Forecasts are pretty well locked in agreement with a moderate cool front pushing south late this week, ushering in much drier air. Dew points expected to drop into the 50's and morning temps on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday will likely touch mid 60's and daytime highs shouldn't make it out of the 80's. Quite rare to get a front this early in September. On average, usually doesn't arrive until ~9/20. Sometimes comes as late as 10/15. A front arriving prior to 9/10 only happens about 10% of the time or less.

Forecast holding steady thus far. Still far enough out that I'm not buying in 100% yet, but next Saturday and Sunday looking good.- Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!
Toyed with the idea of heading up to my lease today, but weather has been shitty. Not a lot of fun up there when it's raining off and on all day and the sandy roads turn to mush. Forecast for next weekend looks just about perfect, so penciling in a trip Saturday morning. One thing real nice about having a place only 2 hours away. Gonna go sit out on the watering hole in the evening and kill some beers (and hopefully a few dove) and then enjoy some cooler weather around the firepit. Get up that next morning and try to pick off one of the pigs that's been stopping by our new feeder every morning. Man I love this time of year.- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
2024, the Year of the Cardiac Astros. We have now 73 wins, and it feels like maybe 10 of them were easy.- Markets still falling like whoa

10-day forecast is putting out some rather enticing teasers for the end of next week.- Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!
TPWD press release yesterday says it was a banner year for the population.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Actual inflation news. September 25 bps cut pretty much locked in at this point, IMO.- Houston Astros 2024 Season Thread
J-Hey!- 2024 Rain Thread: All Your El Nino Are Belong to Us
Just a bit. Got super dark. Rained hard for about 10 minutes, then light rain for maybe 20 minutes after that. Streets are already dried up.- 2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM
Been quiet the last few weeks, but might be something brewing. Currently a 40% chance of organizing. Wouldn't reach the US until next Sunday or thereabouts.- 2024 Rain Thread: All Your El Nino Are Belong to Us
Looks like the world's about to end outside my office window. Was planning to grab lunch off campus today, but may reconsider if it starts storming as hard as it looks like it's getting ready to.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

Well that was a fun way to wrap up the road trip and wash the taste of the last handful of games out of our mouths.- Post a pic that makes you lol
Volume on.- Star Wars Outlaws
Welp, it's out now for the suckers who paid for early access. Full release on Friday. So far reviews are mixed, but more positive than negative. 77 on Metacritic. https://www.metacritic.com/game/star-wars-outlaws/ Reports of typical release day bugs and crashes. There are some gameplay streams already out there if you wanna see how it plays and don't care about spoilers. I think I will ultimately enjoy this one, but am in no hurry to drop $70. Per HowLongTo Beat, apparently only about 15 hours to complete the main story, 21 hours to complete main + side quests. I'll wait until it has been patched up a few times and price drops in half sometime next year.- Space Marine 2
I'lll grab this one eventually once it's on sale. The original was fun but didn't have a ton of replay value (only 8 hours of content). Kinda surprising that they took 13 years to produce a sequel. - Blastfurnace 2024
