For the MS Paint aficionados, my son got me to watch all of these with him: The Big Lez Show Sassy the Sasquatch I don't really think I can explain them, but by the time we were done I really enjoyed both (and several other things the same guy has done). Sassy is actually pretty fucking awesome, and would probably be even better if watched in an "augmented" state. I've quit trying to understand his generation, it's a lot more fun to just enjoy the absurdity or whatever the fuck it is.

Sure, why not? We're already going to be up there to see Lord Huron at Red Rocks, and my younger son will be doing college visits to Mines, CU, and CSU.

Indeed, but 1) he's cheap 2) I need something for him for Christmas 3) it will further cement his popularity on the dorm floor, even beyond the coveted bounties of his illegal air fryer.

Hi Surly Snowsports Mafia, I'd like to get my son a setup to wax the ol' board, if you know what I mean, since he's up in CO for college and thus on the mountain all the time. I'm a summer mountains kind of guy, so totally lost here -- anyone have a recommended kit or manufacturer to look at? Thanks, obviously I'm not a golfer.

He's pretty fantastic, learned about him from my son. His (really long) album is impressive, esp The Devil and Billy, IMO. He's in Austin in December opening for Koe Wetzel who I don't know, but we're going just to see him.

I would be good fodder. Generally terrible fly fisherman. Never fly fished salt (and sucked at it as a kid with red rubber worms). Would be more interested in watching my son catch something than hauling in hardheads myself. Would contribute to the beer fund. This sounds suspiciously like the department golf tournaments I always get suckered into gracious invitations for.

Toyota Innovative Driving Development Import/Export Series, imo

That setup was my first nice rig, and a way nicer reel than I'll ever need, but I knew it had to be mine for sentimental reasons. Which is why they love me at Living Waters. The older one doesn't know it yet, but he's getting this for his 21st: Thinking about pairing it with a Scott fiberglass 4wt to keep the Montrose gang together.

Haha, before we left I thought, "Damn, I gotta trim those nails." Then I thought, "No, I'm gonna need them to tie delicate high quality fishing knots pick apart my horrifying 'wind knot' disasters."

My younger son just had his fall break and wanted to go visit his brother at school in Colorado, so I gladly obliged. We missed the peak of the aspens, but it was still gorgeous and, like most trips up there, left me questioning the life decisions that keep me in Texas. Numerous gratuitous trout pics are in the fishing thread.

I haven't fished for guads a ton, either, but they're a lot of fun and seem to fish a little more like trout in moving water. LMB don't seem to fight a lot for their size and serve as a good origin for the "dead fish" expression IMO. Sunnies are just pure stupid anger and aggression and are fun after a bad day at work. As for me, my younger son just had his fall break and wanted to go visit his older brother at school in Colorado. Didn't take much arm twisting for me. I was surprised that the water temperature was still just fine for wading boots with neoprene socks, no waders needed. Things have been kind of shit lately, so I really needed this day, and therefore I'm going to make you scroll through all the fish pics: Nature pics in the post a pic you took thread.

Whenever a natural disaster occurs, Brent Venables can be depended upon to pull into town with a horse trailer loaded with expired groceries and baby formula to sell for a 2000% markup.

Brent Venables will eagerly steal signs from another team or the pen with the big plastic flower attached to it from the checkout counter, but doesn't want a poke badly enough to cheat for one.

A niche comment, but for those with kids interested in Colorado schools, if they happen to be a registered member of a Native American tribe with historical ties to Colorado, they qualify for in-state tuition. We heard about that from CSU when the older one visited, but did not realize that it applies to all state institutions in Colorado until later. Would have saved me some last year, but better late than never. Here's a list of the eligible tribes: I expect this will further inspire the younger one to look hard at CU/CSU.

Sod farm messed up my baseball fields
Damor replied to txhorns's topic in Can You Help Me With This?
Select/tournament teams? Just tell him you're putting up a giant QR code at the field so all the daddyball parents can post Google reviews of his turf business. -
Oof. I haven't brewed anything since last year, but I know family will be disappointed if I don't have the usuals available for Thanksgiving. Went to the Austin Homebrew site to order stuff and it's gone to complete shit, including the prices. I've started saving the PDFs of their good recipes while they're still available (though you can't order the kits anymore). I guess Great Fermentations or MoreBeer are supposed to be good to order from, any thoughts?

My wife went to State, so I've always kept an eye on them and pulled for them, which was all the more fun with Leach there. I was disgusted that they hired that piece of shit, and I wish him such spectacular and gratuitously horrific failure that he's fired on the field after their last game, if not earlier.

Now figure out how to overlay the radio broadcast instead of Lowell and watch the monies pour in.

When you get the web version all ironed out the way you like it, this would make a really awesome phone/tablet widget.

1) I rarely get to go to games these days, but I responded to the survey that I thought it was a vast improvement that Bob Cole was relegated to the band only, but that the band didn't deserve that kind of punishment. They responded, "We have shared your feedback regarding Stadium PA with our gameday staff, we have identified our challenges and we are committed to working to improve the fan experience for all of our guests," so at least they have chatGPT composing email followups. 2) All this talk about stadium exit and re-entry reminds me of the very old days where you got a "pass out check" to show with your stub when you came back in. When I was but a wee lad, it was just me and my grandfather suffering through Fred Akers together in Sec 105. The only time I ever remember leaving a game early was sometime at the nadir of the Jackie Sherrill era when we were getting drubbed in the 4th. Whilst we were walking past the LBJ fountain from the stadium, a couple of blonde girls walked up and asked him if they could have our ticket stubs and pass out checks to get in. He handed them off, and as we walked away I scolded in a hushed tone, "Gramp, how could you do that? Didn't you see their shirts? Those were Aggies!" He looked at me and responded, "Hell, I wasn't lookin' at what was on their shirts, I was lookin' at what was under 'em." Right then and there I had my first Wonder Years needle drop moment. First thing I remember Was asking Papa, "Why?" For there were many things I didn't know And Daddy always smiled Took me by the hand Saying, "Someday you'll understand"

Wonder what happened there? I guess we could find a place for it on the wall next to final SWC champs/first Big 12 champs and the moldering scalp of Nebraska's relevance. Now I am become Texas, the destroyer of conferences.

I've donated a couple older vehicles which weren't worth the expense of fixing or the hassle of selling. It's been a few years, but my experience was pretty simple. The FMV thing got changed a few years ago, and you'll now get a deduction only for what it sells for at auction. So the days of donating a total POS for an cushy $5k deduction are gone, unless you just want to avoid the hassle (it really is simple). Mine both brought well less than that at auction, but I was fine with getting them out of my driveway and at least a meager donation to something I love (KUTX in this instance). I'm pretty sure, BTW, that most of the donation programs just contract the process out to a handful of companies that do the actual pickup and auction process, so just pick a decent cause. Maybe @immamac should sign up for this and offer you a free mousepad or koozie on top of it. I didn't look into finding anyone who would fix it and donate it to someone in need, but I would guess that if you're not enthusiastic about the hassle of repairs, it's going to be hard to find any organization that is either. If that's important to you, I wonder if you could find an auto shop program at a disadvantaged high school that would be interested in taking it on as a student project, although I have no idea if that would come with a tax deduction. Maybe you could talk Southlake into naming an athletics ice bath after your family, or you could get your practice logo on a metal detector at Carter. I think the obvious answer here is to sell it to the service writer's buddy for tree-fiddy, then add another level to your next fusion and make up the difference. 😜
