    So maybe the wrong thread for this question, but is your username for the city? Any reason? Until this whole invasion, I just assumed it was any other random name. Or is it just coincidence?

    We shop WAY too much at Costco. And have for a while. I don't ever remember them before.

    Correct.

    I worked outside for an hour afterwards, then the heat/humidity sent me back inside

    Welfare Trash @mooseoutfront. You are @fattyflattie's definition of Welfare trash. lol

    Actually got an immediate response, but it was just a redirect to a local office. We will see what they say.

    So just because I was curious, I shot off an email to the USGS asking if they knew the gauge height/streamflow where water no longer discharges from Spring Lake (and the other low head dams just downstream). I doubt I will get a response, but If I do, I will post here, just FYI.

    We are just doom-ster-baiting. I have no idea at what flow the water has to be at to not make it out of the headwaters, or the other low head dams I was speaking of, but my assumption is we still have a bit to go before we get there. There will be water. It will just be very shallow for the SanMo. Edit to add, you just need to find a deep pool, which are very easy to find on the upper stretches. No one should piss in the house the entire weekend. Do your part to raise the river level.

    Yeah, We have not run the upper stretch in a few years, but Cummings dam just below the confluence with the Blanco is another one I'm worried about for the downriver folks. It and the one in Martindale would completely fuck the flow on my fav stretch from Martindale to Staples. (not to mention the dam in Staples). It may just end up being a string of ponds if we don't get rain soon.

    Yeah, I was talking to a buddy that used to have family land downriver from yall a bit. He said we will need several years to fix this. As someone with probably 500 miles on the Kayak's odometer, just on the SanMo in the last decade, it is extremely sad. We fell in love with that river back in the dregs of 2011, as it seem like it was one of the few immune to the severe drought. Not the case anymore it would seem.

    Never said you did, just giving you and your lizard kind a heads up that half of your lizard survival strategy is not looking great. All joking aside, we are in deep shit if it gets much worse. My jaw hit my desk when I saw the flow that low.

    So we did a kayak trip, on the normal stretch of river on the SanMo beginning of July. River was low. Wife's boat that she has had to never drag during other low water years, had to be dragged through a few low spots. Gauge at put in that day was at 80cfs. Just looked this morning, as we were debating another trip. Checked gauge, and it's 62.9cfs. Previous historical low at 74. Holy shit. We are fucked. (and this means you too you damned lizard @InkaUtexas). I grew up out in West Texas, on the edge of divide country, and my grandfather always wished/hoped for hurricanes to end droughts. I married into a family from Houston, and have been told many times it is not cool to "root" for hurricanes, but damn we need a few hurricanes to fix our shit here in CenTex.

    He’s posting on Insta, so he’s still alive.

    @C-Man to the white courtesy phone.

    hey @blacklab, he's back again.

    @immamac activity streams seem to be down.
  21. UnivTex34
    It’s a bit damp out.
  22. UnivTex34
    That's fair, and I swear by my Nemo backpacking pillow. Was just pointing out that there are cheaper alternatives for folks that didn't want to spend yeti money on a chair.
  23. UnivTex34
    I have used both my man. Other than cheaper materials and being heavier, they sit the same. And yes they recline just fine. Buddy swears by his Nemo's but bought these to add more to his RV setup for guests, and they are almost interchangeable.

    FYI, if you want more or spares, both Costco and Sam's have knockoffs for about $60 https://www.costco.com/swinging-hammock-chair.product.4000079781.html https://www.samsclub.com/p/member-s-mark-swing-chair-lounger/P03012032?xid=plp_product_7

    Mabry is what is considered for Austin proper, when talking about records.
