So its been a couple of weeks since a post. Havent really had anything exciting happen to post other than UT playing really well. Been to the last couple of games. Sat with the bank in their suite at the most recent win over Oklahoma State last Saturday. Thats the way to go to a football game. Preparing to leave town next week for a few days of relaxation in The Florida Keys. I have been taking some pictures but unfortunately none of them have been worthwhile. Been pretty slow in Austin with summer winding down and hunting season not started yet. I have to decide if their enough excitement in my life these days to be worthy of blog post. Trying to keep this fresh and not be like "blah blah blah, we got drunk, blah blah blah, we were so wasted".
Halloween this weekend, gonna lay low and head to the ranch probably on Friday night and then come back Saturday and have a small group over for dinner and game-watching on Saturday night.

Weekend coming up
I apologize for my immediate post before this one, it was kind of whiny. I took care of that shit, just dropped the class. So no more classes for this semester. Life has been good since then. Got the motor work complete on my boat. Sea trialed it yesterday. Full of fuel and gear, two guys in the boat with not being completely tuned and a minimal amount of trim...107mph. 110 is coming, cruise all day at 100 now though which is good.
OU this weekend, headed up tomorrow morning. Should be a good game if UT shows up.
Ryan, I didnt know you wanted to buy the ski boat when I sold it. My bad. I told you guys the LBJ guys would be upset.

I am wise...
Advice...dont make the same mistake I made. Getting a master's degree while working full time is a terrible idea. In case you cant tell, Im working on a project right now and I really dont like it. I swear I'm a glutton for punishment, I hated school during the first college degree. So, lets do it again; Great Idea Chris!!!
Its Coming....110+ mph
So the hot road boat is currently undergoing some "small" engine modifications looking for about 120 more horsepower a side. Thatll take me up to around1600 horsepower total. Hoping for about 10 more mph which should put me cruising along at 100 with a top speed up over 110. Getting closer to where we want to be (dont really know where we want to be yet, just faster). I guess, I'll have to go to a catamaran to go much faster than we already are as the fastest non raceboat v-hulls are running only 130-140. Thinking it may take 150+ to get where we "need to be". (already got my plane tickets booked for the Miami boat show in February).
On another boat note, I know this will make all the LBJ guys sad, I parted ways with the wakeboard boat earlier this month. I had only used it about four times in the past two years and just was having to make myself use it to justify having it. Found an oppurtunity to sell it and jumped on it. Haven't missed it at all at this point. Other than I have a mountain of wakeboard stuff that I dont need anymore. Let me know if you guys are looking for anything in particular.
Oklahoma this weekend. Yet again, we go in as a top five team and will probably get our ass kicked. We can always hope though. UT has looked good the past few weekends.
Hit up the big in the water end of season boat show on Travis on Friday night for their VIP party. Got as drunk as we could till we ran out of money paying five dollars a drink. Never thought "VIP" would mean cash bar and free chips and queso, the band was good though.
Checked out the new downtown restaraunt Maria Maria Cantina at a pre grand opening deal over the weekend. This was more of a VIP deal with free drinks and food all night long. Apparently Carlos Santana is a partner in the joint. Unfortunately didnt see him there. Food was decent, drinks were pretty good. I'll go back.
Here are a few pics I could scrounge up of stuff lately that I have been promising pictures of...
