Congrats Ray! It's not your trivia contest if the answer doesn't include Chesty ;)

Indeed I was. Thanks for hosting this Larry.

I'm out of country at the moment and just saw this. Now it's getting good, but I still don't have the dreaded 13. After spending 60 AUD at a B&M for a PSD5 yesterday, I sure could use the winnings. :eek: That's what I get for not packing cigars.

My J hat was previously on the silent drill team, so I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the grinder. I remember the creativity he had on the grinder was a thing of beauty. He once had the entire platoon with our rifles directly out in front of us, two fingers from the left hand on the iron...

I'd be down (If I'm in town).

I'd be down for a recurring meetup in the Houston area (perhaps monthly, quarterly, etc.). Anyone else still in the area open to the idea?

So far, Ironpeddler is looking fantastic with the Astros, although the score of 0 may take a bit longer with that team :p

First time as defending champs, this will be a fun season to watch, albeit on TV as ticket prices have just about doubled. :eek:

I just checked my teams. Not bad! If I place, it'll probably be the Yankees that get me there. Would've preferred my home team (Astros), but can't complain.

Please put me down for 2.

Currently reading The Code Book by Simon Singh. It was written in 1999, and provides an semi in-depth timeline of cryptography and cryptanalysis throughout history. It's well-written, and will likely be a quick fun read for me. Now I'm wondering why I didn't pick this up sooner.

Just finished Walter Isaacson's Leonardo Da Vinci this week. Thorough and well written biography, but I can do without the motivational tidbits peppered into a few chapters.

Is it time to revive this thread and is anyone still in Houston (rhetorical question)?

Anyone up for another soon???

I'll have to get in on this next year gents.
