My wife and I have always wanted to visit San Antonio. We've heard that it is really a cool place. Regarding Indiana, it could be worse. You could be here in Illinois :-)
Is Illi really that bad? Always thought it was okay-ish. Surely there are worse states than Illi such as Wisconsion and Michigan right? I might be biased as a Bears fan though
Illinois is losing population and businesses now. There has been a lot of corruption and both political parties seem incapable of governing. We are the nation's 5th largest state, yet the politicians have not even produced a budget since 2015. The infrastructure is in decay (like our roads) and services to the people living here have been cut back drastically since both parties seem unwilling to work together to govern. Even the retirement money for people who have served the State faithfully their entire adult lives, was plundered by the politicians who used that money to fund other areas of Illinois government. To me this should have resulted in people going to jail. But no, this is just "business as usual" in Illinois. Sure, we lock up a governor in prison every so often, but the corruption just goes on here.

It's an armpit state now for sure.
Damn that sounds rough. Politicians are wankers. Sure there's corruption everywhere in the world but we still haven't locked one up in recent times. I guess its the Cubs and Hawks holding Illi together.
Got all the shopping done today....beer is cold in the fridge...ribs have been seasoned...even splurged on some grass fed beef for the chili...can't wait!

That sounds so good. I might add some chili tomorrow too.

Alright. I made the chili last night, tastes much better the next day. Cornbread is in the oven. I'll do the guac an hour before kickoff. It's a quick and easy recipe.

I know it's probably too late, but I just remembered that @belliot kinda is a beer connoisseur. Sorry. ^^

What beer did you end up buying?
I got a bunch of different stuff, got some Saranac stouts, a Stone stout, a Brooklyn Sour beer, some 21st Ammendment Saison and a Travelers shandy. Also still have some Shiners Holiday Cheer...which I'm a big fan of.
Well I don't know about the rest of you, but my burgers were a hit. A ton of people went w/and loved the sauteed onions and mushrooms w/ghouda. One guy just wanted sauteed onions and mushrooms, had to reheat it b/c he was eating at 1/2 time and wanted another.
Only one that really didn't like it much was my daughter, who had been sick most of the weekend. I don't think she would have liked much of anything.

We've had a lot of sickness here too. My daughter was so sick she had to go to the hospital. There are two strains of nasty flu going around and I picked up one of them. It just took me out for a week. I hope your daughter is better (my daughter is now better).
