The Mucky Duck....#WINNING! I haven't been in soooo long. We got to see The English Beat (label in the U.S.) with General Public at the Bayou Music Center last weekend. I have to say Dave Wakeling is still jamming well. The two bands put on a great show IMHO. Adam Ant....well, let's just say he has a good band. The percussion section was impressive. HS

I would happily own this sexy beast.... https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-cartier-santos-de-cartier-dual-time-live-pics HS

I very much like the idea of the GTS's. Hoping I get a shot at a 911 GTS one day, but I doubt it...LOL. The only thing I'm not a big fan of, aside from the always scary in Houston low stance (front axel lift FTW) is that most the GTS's I see have the center lock wheels. I don't find them practical at all. 443ft lb target... Even with the right kit, that's a lot of cranking down on something at the track should you need to swap tires/wheels. I'd order w/o those, personally. HS

The GT4 is the best I’ve been in but I’m not a serious road course guy that’s been at it a long while. I’m still learning. A whole lot easier for me to win going straight…lol. HS

You are spot on, swt61. It's a 718 and the hardtop is a Cayman and the convertible is the Boxster. I'm a sucker for a coupe, personally, but nothing wrong with open air sporting... I've seen the Boxsters kick ass at my home road course. The six cylinder is awesome but I drove the turbo four and it's perfectly good. Just a bit higher pitched and what goes with that. HS

The Macan is such a practical sporting SUV, and the fact you did that well says something about Porsche. I think you're going to absolutely love the Cayman. So balanced...they just make you a better driver. Will be fun to watch for future updates with the new German... HS

Godspeed, O.J.... One heck of a ride you had...no pun intended. HS

Thank you, Dusty Chalk...very much! It's a funny thing to get attached to an inanimate object like a vehicle, but it was just one of those things...chasing to recreate it now and I feel very fortunate to have a good one to work with. Hopefully I don't screw it up...LOL. Sam

Late lunch at Field & Tides. Fried oyster brussel sprouts, a crab salad jobbie, and redfish. Great little joint if you're ever in Houston. HS

Beautiful, blessingx!!!! One day…I’ll own a B-body restomod. One day…. HS

I always find something interesting...usually too many...at the Texas Mile. This one really caught my eye. It's a real deal (edit: superbird...it's a plymouth) and they had done a lot of fabrications work to get it to this point. Certainly not the fastest, but listening to the owner and builders love for it was really cool. And, big arse waaaaang, as my buddy would say. Not my thing but pretty nifty... HS

I recall being a boy and enamored with Jacqueline Bisset in The Deep. Lou did a great job of being the bad guy... HS

Thank you, Jacob! HS

We visited a local restaurant, Eau Tour, that I have been wanting to go to for a while. Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the better halves' red snapper...it was the best cooked fish I have had in a long while. The duck confit looks rather drab but the sauce was amazing and the side was a grilled lettuce or cabbage layered like lasagna with delumpcious cheesy stuffs... Thumbs up to this joint if you find yourself in Houston. HS

Penned some amazing cars...godspeed, Mr. Gandini... HS
