Bikes have never been good for my family, starting with my Dad.He had a 1918 Indian that he rode when he was a student at the U. Of Missouri starting in 1929. During his sophomore year he was going to ride it home to Nodaway County for Christmas but missed a curve and landed in a corn field with a broken leg. Wish I had that bike now though - it would be a cool display in my man cave room.My oldest brother had a German Zundapp 250 that he rode around Austin as a U. Of Texas student in the late ‘50s. He got t-boned by a Volkswagen on campus, breaking his leg. He sold the bike and bought a Volkswagen. In the early 1980s his son had a Yamaha 550 dirt bike in Austin. Some old fart pulled out of a driveway too fast for my nephew to avoid hitting him. Nephew not only broke his leg flying over that car, but the foot peg made a huge hole in his thigh. Still has quite a scar there.My youngest son snuck his older brother’s Kawasaki 500 trail bike out one day, but only got a block from home before hitting a curb and dislocating his shoulder after landing in someone’s front yard.I had a 1975 Honda CB200 and a 1980 CT110, but luckily never put either one down. Sold the 200, and one of my boys kept the little 110 as a classic. Reminds me of a great movie......if you have never seen it I highly recommend it.
October 28, 20223 yr I was driving on I-45 between Galveston and Houston yesterday. All the sudden four blue jets with smoke tailing them are flying straight up, loop over, and then all split apart in opposite directions. The fucking Blue Angels. I guess they were flying at the field over by NASA. They flew in formation, split off on their own, flew in a diamond across I-45. Damn. Complete badassery just randomly seen driving down the freeway.

I did outward bound before my senior year of high school. 10 days I think in the Sierra Nevada backpacking and climbing. Pretty awesome stuff. Wrote an essay about it that got me into William and Mary. And used it as a pickup conversation to land one of the hottest girls I went to high school with. I mean, I'm a total loser now but I used to be cool. I promise.

October 29, 20223 yr CFA has really nice gallon jugs they use for their tea/lemonade, so nice I'll rinse them out for re-use.
October 29, 20223 yr I used to work at a seafood restaurant, nice enough to take Dorothy man’s tooth or south Austin’s mom to. Great gumbo among other fine vittles. Anyways this waitress had a cup before her shift and yada, yada yada, shift is over and we hit the local watering hole. Girl does a tequila shot and proceeds to vomit on a coworkers sandal enveloped feet. We all looked down and there was the gumbo, with a big ole piece of 🍤
October 31, 20223 yr I wonder if the restaurant industry is going to have a big change in the coming year or two. Maybe it's just me, but with Covid + inflation, it seems like the value is just not there for all levels of price. On top of that, I'm finding myself just not wanting to deal with the hassle of actually going out. Used to go to a Chipotle a couple of miles from my house. $8 for a bowl that was pretty good quality. Now it's $10, half the time the order is late, and the portions have gotten way smaller. Add in the hassle of driving over there, and I've gone from 2-4 times a month to maybe once a month? Ate at a place on the road the other day... a bowl of gumbo ($14) plus tea ($3.50) plus a side of garlic bread ($5) plus tax and tip came out to nearly $30 for one person. Ate at Thai-Kun and for two entrees, one cocktail, and tip, it's $65.

November 2, 20223 yr I took my son to track practice today. They practice at a high school and we'll occasionally see the football team there. Instead of football, the girls had a soccer practice and I took a look every once in a while. Does that make me a pervert?

November 5, 20223 yr Watching the 1978 Halloween with my 10 year old for the first time for her. She just asked me if Michael Myers was locked away as a little kid in 1963, then escaped the looney bin in 1978… How did he learn how to drive the station wagon he stole and drove around in?

We should change it 10 minutes backward every month for six months and then 10 minutes forward every month for the next six. And change smoke alarm batteries 12 times a year. Really the only valid solution.
