  1. I have only ever done the Lighthouse, but we enjoyed it.
  2. That was a fun half inning!
  3. Yeah, we were very lucky. We didn't think she was going to get past 16, so my folks got a black lab, Lady, and it completely revitalized the Khakster. No way was she gonna let that little shit head get all the attention. I had not lived with her for 13 years, and only got to see her twice a year or so, but she always greeted you with the waggiest of tails. Even the last two years, when she was half blind and deaf, if she got a wiff of you, it was a gallup to see you for ear scratches. goddamnit
  4. My Mom's dog Khaki crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. She was 18. Mix of Lab and Chesapeake Bay. Sweetest dog I ever did know. My youngest brother is going to be devastated. He was 2 when we got her. Fucking shit this sucks.
  5. And of course the king scoops me as I’m typing that out...
  6. Long time listener, first time caller (usually cause I’m too drunk to take pics). Wife is away, so H-E-B last chance sirloin (1.98), bolilo. wiz, provolone, leftover mushrooms and onions, and grilled pickled japs and peperocinis from the fridge/pantry. Not in the pic, an old overholt old fashioned (bud light for later).
  7. You heard a Spectrum ad. They failed in Louisville, but they are not pulling out of any other markets. They continue to expand in Austin. They are $25-50 a month cheaper than any alternative at my place in south Austin, and I've never had to reset my box, or do any sort of trouble shooting due to slowdowns in the 3 years I have had them. It's literally the exact opposite of every other ISP experience I have ever had.
  8. You need to make sure you get the latest info about Zion direct from the source. I follow their social media accounts, and this winter has hit them really hard. I think one of the roads into the park (the one that is direct from Zion to Bryce) is closed for repairs for a while. Landslide, or washout, I don't remember. Also, there was a huge rock fall yesterday I think that closed access to a bunch of popular trails. This may cause a crazy crowded par to be a complete cluster, and you may not get to see some of the things you want to see. That said, that canyon may as well be the garden of eden, and is one of my favorite places on the planet, so even a fucked up experience, should be great. Hike Angels Landing if you get a chance. Wake your ass up and do it first thing, before it gets crowded. You need to be on the first bus. @Anton Chigurh is the resident Utah expert. His rec's were golden on my last trip to that area. We only spent one day in Bryce, it was cool, but it paled in comparison to Zion for me. Still have not done the GC except for a drive by, so can't help there, but if you get a chance to to horseshoe bend up near page, we really enjoyed it at sunset. Find a slot canyon like Antelope canyon too.
  9. Radarscope on iOS/Mac. GRLevelx on Win.
  10. We bought off of stub hub cheap. Also wood posted a few other sites in the cota thread Yeah, the tick pick stuff is $100 a seat for Sunday. Stubhub chEapest is $70.
  11. Still looking
  12. Still looking for a GA for tomorrow.
  13. Has it always been $69 just for Sunday? that seems high compare to years past. Or am I just mis-remembering?
  14. Anyone have an extra they want to get rid of? I really only need a GA, but if you have an extra seat, and want to sell it to someone who will never sit in it, just use to get in the gate, here is your chance. I'm in South Austin, but can meet you at a reasonable distance.
  15. Anyone have a spare ticket for Sunday? Really just need a GA. Nearly $85 bucks after fees buying from the ticket office, trying to save some cash.

    SpaceX

    Fuck. Yes.
  17. Dude is going to have to block every phone number with an 806 area code
  18. A lot of the apps you use, utilize the data collected by us with our personal weather stations.
  19. Yeah, wish I could justify the cost for a Davis.

    Don’t buy the pelican. Not for that price.

    Great starter boat.
  22. DO NOT BUY ACURITE!!! I have had their 5 - 1 station for years, and they just killed off access for a less than a year old wifi bridge. So even though it worked fine, and was still in warranty, they force all users to buy a new $140 model. Not to mention, the new Atlas station is complete garbage. Will not stay connected for more than a week at a time without a hard reset (requires you to access the station and remove batteries). This has been confirmed across multiple units within my family (just go read the weather forums, this is not an isolated case). We used to have around 10 stations in the Acurite ecosystem around the state, and its just not worth buying from a company that does not value their customers. Look into the Ambient Weather systems. They are cheaper than Acurite, offer more options, and are still able to connect into WU's PWC network. Looking at reviews, they are just as accurate as the Acurite crap as well. If you do not need a physical screen, you can have their sensor and internet bridge for around $90 bucks. https://www.ambientweather.com
  23. Yeah, I bought the Cascade Mountain techs from Amazon last year, and they were a lifesaver for GUMO.
  24. Reolink Argus. No subscription needed, saves to a card in the camera, that you can download from your phone anytime. I have 2 of them, love them.
  25. Marc back in form. Rossi with a long overdue podium. Thought the jumpstart on Cal was bullshit
