Where did you learn to tie a tie? :icon14:

:tup:

Damn millennials and their newfangled youtubes. hahaha. It's a trinity knot. I use to do different knots almost every day when I worked at a lawfirm. Just taught myself how to do different styles throughout the years. I don't get to do them much anymore, so I went with something that is also a fun conversation starter.

My bottle has a home!

That is called the "trinity" knot? It looks more like the Drunken Dyslexic Blind Sailor knot...

Stick with the four-in-hand or half-Windsor for best results.

I still don't know how to tie a tie. I tied one once and I have since left it tied for when I need to wear one. :ugh2:

My favorite knot for solid colored ties is the Eldredge knot :)

For stripes, I pretty much always prefer half-Windsors. With thick stripes, though, the Trinity looks like either an umbrella or a delta, so it's kind of cool when that happens. :tup:

That explains quite a bit...

half or full windsor for work functions

Eldridge for parties

Trinity for weddings

Bowties for functional events

So the girlfriend had a bad experience over a decade ago eating eggplant. I guess whoever made it for her used wicked thick slices that were sour and horribly seasoned. I rectified that last night and she has a new found love of the the vegetable.

I thinly sliced (1/8th") a eggplant. Patted dry to remove as much excess water as possible. Dipped in egg followed by panko breadcrumbs heavily seasoned with oregano, onion, garlic, and whatever else I saw fitting out of my spice rack. Set oil temp to 300F and lightly fried until golden brown. Drained and placed in shallow baking **** with marinara and mozz cheese. Broiled for 1 minute.

Her face lit up like a xmas tree. The eggplant was crisp and packed with flavor. The sauce added some needed acidity and the cheese gave the crunhyness a better texture.

Next time, I want to make eggplant caprese. Haven't made a balsamic reduction in forever.

Oh god. I think I am becoming popular on here...

No, you are not.

Finally got around to installing the AAM S-line midpipe and resonated short tails yesterday. Today got the windows tinted. Next up is the Gen 3s. Hopefully in about a month.

Let me know how you like that setup! I think I have (at least one of) the loudest Z's in the US (or at least Texas) :tup: :p I've always thought that the midpipe+short tails would be a good setup, too.

I bet FPEnvy would like to talk to you about loudest Z. :)

Shhh, Let it go to my head

WD Red 4TB drive is here. :yum: 12TB of drive space, 5 drive bays still empty. :tup:

RIP my electric bill.

Good morning everyone :hello:

:tiphat:

Mr. Onzedge!! How in the world are you my friend? I trust that Dr. Mrs. Onzedge and the rest of the family are well :tiphat:

You might have received sporadic reps lately. My apologies :o

We are good. Here is a recent photo to prove it.

Looking good!! :tup:



Oh and you clean up nicely, too ;)

Water at the coast is apparently a little deep (inshore). Guide just called to let us know that sight fishing for redfish has been particularly difficult lately. I think we are going to have to postpone our trip until next month. Hopefully that will make for a better experience :tup:

Living my dream. Bucket list has "catch Tarpon on fly rod" on it.

:tup: Really should go to Florida for tarpon, but we can find them a lot closer in Louisiana - I should look into that. Redfish is more or less my first step into fly fishing for anything other than bass. I'm going fly fishing for bonefish in Oahu in January, too :D

Locally, my buddy and I are going to start trying for carp (much more challenging). And there are some trout in the streams during the 1-2 months of winter we have here in central Texas, so might have to try them as well.

Much like Santa, I have distributed your gift of reps! To the very good have been given more. To those who cannot tie a tie have been given less!

;)
