BOWLSHIT

that my friends is what I call what has gone down with the Big 12 South. Texas has gotten the royal shaft on this deal... I can tell you, if it came down to a 2 way tie with Tech, I would say Tech gets the nod over UT. Just like ou gets it over TT...
I was luck enuff to go to the game Thursday nite @ DKR, it sure was fun. The Horns did what they needed to do and it should have been enuff to be playing in kansas City next week. cooler heads will prevail, Mizzu does have something to prove after gettin beat Saturday by Kansas, and OU tends to jerk off in big games, if this happens, UT sittin pretty @ 3 in the BCS will be in the title game.
GO CHASE DANIEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have faith, this has been my scenerio all week, we will be ok.
45-35, I still don't understand; this should have been left up to gundy, Briles, Sherman, Prince, and all the others in the Big 12 to decide, not outside coaches and voters, this system sux!

FRWEDSDY

but to me it sure feels like Friday! coolness, a little break in the action for the holiday....
looking forward to football & food, what more can a man ask for??
got an e mail today about doing a pit party @ the alamodome in SA for the monster jam show on 1/10/2009, a little PR for THR and for my race team, lord knows I'm not shy about talking about eithier one of those topix.
enjoy the weather, its nice... I hope everyone has a great, safe holiday... enjoy your family & friends. thats what Thanksgiving is all about!

We'll chat later..
actually, I forgot to mention, i watched the finale of dancing with the tards last night, those dancin' girls are pretty damn cute, Brooke Burke won but I think Bance Lass did a better job, kinda got wrapped up in it actually. I'm glad it ended, I already have one show to follow, another would just make me sit on my ass more!!!!!!!!!

ok... now..

Short week

well here we go again, but at least it's a 2-2 1/2 day work week, haven't decided!
I feel great this AM, did a speed run last evening and my feet/ankles feel well, that's good considering the pain I had been in for some time. Kicked back last night and had a couple of Miller Lites, that was cool.
Looking towards Thursday, pretty excited about the Texas game, altho the BCS is really messed up, we'll be left out. Thanks Tech, you beat us then forget to show up n Norman.
Tony Romo lookin good, RR 69ers win one, we needed that one.
I sure do feel like playing some golf, have to find time for a round or 2 this week.
My deadlines are all crazy @ the sawmill, gotta go... I'll be in touch!
Go Baylor & OSU!

Fired up!!

at least you should be....its cooolld outside, I had a 3.1 mile run planned this AM but I slept in a little too long, oh well, we can make that one up. TT v OU tonite, kinda nice to watch a big game when it's not YOUR team, too much damn stress, me and my buddy Tator always text back and forth during close games about the stress levels..... speaking of that, rmember when Dallas v SF meant something? NFL netwrok showed the 92 NFC Championship between the 2 clubs in it's full length last night.... Reminded me of something a dude told me & James last week.... "I've watched the Cowboys my whole life... Troy Aiikem, Emmitt Smith, Mike Irvin .....", little shit didn't know who Roger Staubach was!!!!!!!
I'm going to the 2009 rules meeting today @ THR today. The A Line Super Stock season will be interesting, I don't see major rules changes, but Cary is gone. Unless his brother Chase comes out and cleans house, we may see 7-8 guys win mains this year. Tight points race I would think, I'm not going to say the 7 will be running for points but it should be tight. Only time will tell I guess, you never know,,, with the likes of Toyne, Krauss, Garrett, Tschoerners, Mathias and all the rest.... it may be crazy. This will again be the premier class in Texas. BUT that's a way's off...

I'm off to feed 2 kids and 2 dogs ..... stay warm & safe ya'll..

p&l,

The Weekend

not only a great country song by Steve Warner, who is one of the best that has ever picked up a guitar and sang yet tooooo underrated, but a great time to not work! At least not at your day job, and most of the time, not much r&r happening! but I was told by my beautiful wife that it is supposed to stay cool which will be alright with me, pretty nice considering T-Giving is a week away. T-Giving is probably my favorite holiday, it's about being with family, enjoying company, football, eating, maybe a beer, just hangin out. A good adult holiday, like Memorial & Labor Day.
I'm amazed how adults do the holiday deals:
Spring Break? that's for kids, not us. Work & jobs don't stop and me and my buddies do not look good running around shirtless, drunk and tanning at the beach.
Valentine's Day? kinda for adults, at least women.... and kids, they exchange little cards and candy, women get flowers and are taken out to eat, but nothing for a grown up to miss work over, just like a birthday after 21, no need to skip your j-o-b!
Last but not least..... Halloween, man that is for the young ones! Old fat people like me just need to take the kids trick or treating and our part is done..... no need to get crazyand start trippin out dressin up and going to HEB. I did that one time when I was 17, this little kid I knew walked up to me and said.... "Hey Ronny" I had on a mask, and my body had on a suit! That was the end of Halloween for me, if it wasn't for KP & Chlo-Bo, it could come and go and I'd never know.
My thoughts on XMAS will come later as we get closer and I begin to stew and wonder why people forgot the meaning. I can tell you this, I went to the can at work and some station in Austin is already all XMAS songs! Too early, we haven't even carved the hog for T-Giving!!!!

Ok, gotta go watch Y&R, cool NFL game on TV tonight, snowin big time; I love HD!!!

alright! otu for now..

Kudo's

to the University of Texas, way to lock in Will Muschamp as Mack's replacement. And gutsy, nice to see the boys @ the 40 acres do something not conservative, pretty safe move though, I had hoped Major would someday be the man but he does not have the resume this dude does.
So, it looks bright around here, mack is a great coach and saved this program, he would be a GREAT AD. Just my .2, not sure if DeLoss reads this or not!
I'm thinking about #99 today, Cary Stapp has his Gibbs tryout today, peace be with you my man, give em hell!

Looking forward to the holiday, great time to hang with the family and get caught up, take some time off..... and new this year, play some golf. Need to get my poor lonely stix out of mothballs; I wonder if they swing better after some time off??????????????
Stay tuned for details..

Keep your head up & look ahead, a little rain on the horizon, I bitch about weather people, I've noticed they say it COULD rain over the next few days........... man, talk about no liability!!!!

gotta go 4 now,
Keep it real.....

Another Week Begins

and man is it cold!? it fely nice acyually, I need to get my ass out of bed and start running....
I need to do that anytime actually, it's foot race season now!
Jimmie, my man, 3 in a row..... I don't think most fans realize how good this team really is, Jimmie is such a good guy, I'd like to play golf and drink beer with him, I think we'd get along pretty well.
spent the weekend watching football, that being said, I guess I shouldn't complain about my gut!
UT will get the shaft on this BCS thing, looks like to me the mdia wants Bama, Florida & USC to fight it out, tech will fall out and UT will get the left overs, Fiesta barring a hiccup V. A&M , which way yo go guys, lost to Waco!
Dallas; well they turn it on when they have to, maybe a springboard, maybe not, that offense MUST produce more, use Roy, that's why we got him!
Lockhart Lions, 35-28, on to round 2! Geeeezzz, they are starting to scare me!
I had my 1st Turkey meal today @ Kendall's school, then Chloe's this Thursday, I like turkey, it's good!
ok, I need to get to it, stay warm & cozy, and cozy & warm!

peace,
rkr

Butt-ass COLD

well, kxan & keye are both telling me this AM that we are gonna get cold over the weekend!
bundle up! keep the pets inside!
my morning is boring, other many mistakes @ work, but otherwise, not too much happening.
I'll update tho!
rkr

Wrappin up the week

I'll say it here again, ANY VETERAN is hero to me, my dad is one so it really hits home, sure is nice to see these folks get a day observed, it's the least we can do, without them, we'd be as jacked up as some of these other places in the world.
I have a sinus infection, it sux, just throwing that in, was gonna run a 5K in Cedar Park this weekend, I'm putting that on hold, bigger fish to fry in Febuary.
(Austin 2009)
Now, got word THR has a rules meeting set fornext weekend, thats awesome, Mary Ann & H have done such great work keeping that place open, and hats off to the drivers, crew & fans that made 2008 good enough to keep it alive, I called out everyone on TSZ before the year to help out and apparently our work was all good; now we go to work gettin the Sizzlin' 7 better, I wanna kick some ass next year.
I hope my Horns win, and win big! The BCS is ok, but flawed, it irritates me that after all that UT has done it may go unnoticed, altho, I hade to call AM1300 this week, nobody would have thought this would even be possible, I'm the biggest UT homer and I said at least 3 losses. Still could happen but we were #1 for 2 weeks! I hate that with the slightest hiccup, everyone around here starts talkin about Rick Barnes b-ball team. I was @ DKR Saturday, folks were sittin on their hands, people looked at me like I was an ass for getting excited, I don't care if it's Baylor or Tech; support the team!
Hat's off to the Round Rock Dragons, first round playoff game around the corner over here Friday night @ Dragon Stadium, and my old school, the Lockhart Lions playoff bound to Katy for a Saturday nite tilt w/ Huntsville! I'm very proud for all the Lockhartites.
Cowboys v Skins, that's all I have to say, Romo is gonna cut the meat I have a feeling.
Low key weekend for me take it easy get well and maybe throw back a beer or 2& watch the 48 make history!!
Be safe gang, live smart & pray hard!

OBAMA

man what a day! it still amazes me what has just happened, I dare to say that my faith in people could be restored! I am so glad that this man will lead us, i'm tired of all the negative, the US needs a breath of fresh air and someone to lead us, represent us, allow us to take pride in. we have this man now Barack Obama. I am so proud to say I met this man earlier this year in Austin, face to face, shook his hand even spoke with him. pretty cool I can tell my kids and anyone for that will listen. He spoke to me directly, looked at me and listened to what I told him, I was blown away. if I sound like I am completly in awe of this dude, I am, I'm proud of him, for him and his family and or our great country.

we had a great time @ TMS this weekend, found a cool joint in Irving to watch UT, but that sucked in the end!!!!! took in the race on Sunday and Texas Stadium on Monday one last time, pretty damn cool! I even won a radio contest from live 105 on Sunday @ the race.
let's enjoy the day and be proud, the world is a good place today...
