As I noted in the "when the music died" thread, we had a small family connection with Toby. His wife is the step sister of a cousin. This cousin was involved in a very serious auto accident and needed help with the bills. When Toby heard of the benefit function for being held, he sent an...

Really great guy. There was a family connection to my cousin (Toby was married to my cousin's step sister) and Toby sent an autographed guitar to be auctioned for his (the cousin's) benefit. Just imagine, he was battleing cancer, fighting for his life and still cared enough to try to help...

Back in the day, attended Wurst Fest frequently. New Braunfels is only ten or fifteen miles from San Marcos where I attended good old SWT. Even saw Myron Floren, the accordionist from the Lawrence Welk show. He played the fest often.

Got 2 inches Tuesday and 2 inches again last night. Nice soaking!

Got a fine coating of sleet and a low of 18 degrees this morning. Currently 20 degrees.

We got a little rain, but we were blasted by the highest wind that we've seen in a while.

Rained all night here, got a good 2 inches, really needed it. Heal soon Miz Brandi!

You guys are lucky not seeing ads. The other day I had ads on top of ads on top of the thread lines. Covered the whole page. I bought Total AD Block two months ago. Worked for a month, but now it's not effective at all. Funny, it works on other forums that I visit. Most of the ads are for...

Hey Don, I was guessing that you were using Tanya's auction company. I've bought a lot of stuff from her through the years.

Anybody experiencing the eclipse right now? Got really dark in the living room, then I remembered it was scheduled at 11:45 today. Went outside and used the pin hole method to see it was about 30%. Neat, Practice for next year's near total eclipse.

Met Dick Butkus in Las Vegas at a charity Pro-Am tournament. Very nice guy. What a player! I was the pro and Mike Scott, the Astros pitcher, was the athlete celebrity on my team. This was just after his no-hitter to clinch the season championship. I hit the ball pretty far, but he was right...

We got 2 inches early this morning, hoping for a little more before the clouds go away for another week!

I had to finally pay for TOTAL AD BLOCK to be able to use the forum effectively. Still takes forever to download some photos. Some load as fast as the print. Curious!

They got Texans wrong.
