  1. Info is getting sloppy in here. My parents (80s)have already had a 4th shot. 2 shots original vacine + booster 1 + booster 2. I myself at the young age of 55 have had booster 1 and am ellipse for booster 2. I think it is 50+ now considered old.
  2. As it turns out this was the event. We had about a dozen Japanese guys in the meeting and they are all stuck here in Austin because they are not welcome back in their home country. I am supposed to go to Norway on the 6th with my family. I have to go straight to my quarantine room when I get home. My wife controls all the streaming passwords and they have not been forthcoming. I am allowed to watch TV as long as I go outside and look through the window. I do get room service though. I'm thinking eggs Benedict for breakfast.
  3. I used to have small spray foam business. Quit because I hate sales and people. Great product though. Payback is about 5 years on a typical tract home retrofit -roof only. Current home(4000 sqft) is spray foamed haven't had a bill over $300 ever.
  4. Fat Lorenzo's over by Lake Nokomis for casual Italian. Love that place. Close to the airport so convenient for layovers.
  5. I will also add...very contagious. I think I got mine at the one and only meeting I have attended in the kast two years.
  6. Had the exact same thing down to the Vax dates. Just tested + 5 minutes ago. Symptoms started Fri with headaches, which I never get even when hungover. But I have been under a tremendous amount of stress lately with irregular sleep etc . With all of that and high grass pollen I figured I was in the clear. Symptoms are exactly as you describe. At home test took all of 10 seconds to flash +. Went for a 10 mile bikeride in the hills yesterday and walked a round of disc golf with the kids this morning. I feel like shit, but the energy levels are ok.
  7. Edit thread title to: Driving Douchebagery.
  8. The wife and I were thinking about Minneapolis. She has family up there and we have the option of wintering in Texas.
  9. I loved that series I even took a break from some Bach stuff(classical guitar) I was working on to learn the Vashti Bunyan open credits song (Train song)
  10. At UT (mid-late 80s), we changed the name to "tackle the person with the alternative lifestyle ". Somehow it never really caught on.
  11. What starts here's changes the world, and the moon.
  12. Humblebragging has been in the shitter all day on this site.
  13. On the topic of untended consequences re R v. W., I was watching Freakonomics on Netflix the other night and caught the segment on the hypothesis that increase in abortions beginning right after R. v. W. amd onward was, in part, responsible for the decrease in crime in the late 80's through mid 90's (end of data in 1997). The work and its findings are more nuanced than I am presenting here, but are thorough and have stood up well under reanalysis, new data, and the passage of time. Over the years, the controversial hypothesis, has had its detractors who cited other factors such as the removal of lead from gasoline, the crack epidemic, defense spending, and the end of the cold war, none of which had any legitimate or significant published findings, but nonetheless may have played a lesser role in the crime reduction seen.
  14. It is insane; Home went up 62% this year. I also own a construction yard/office in east Austin which is reasonably appraised, but I am getting calls every other month from investors to buy at double TCAD, which is not unheard of even in normal times. The weird part is that the lot is 100% in the 25 year flood plain as of 5 years ago. One of these days COA is going to wise up and get the flood situation figured out and by spending a few million $ they will increase the tax base enough to pay for that in less than 5 years. Yes, I know COA and county are different and what i said makes no sense. Rant over.
  15. Jazz was my favorite, but I played trumpet for 25 years and my oldest son is pro trumpet player in New Orleans, so I am a little biased. Nevertheless, I learned a lot. I always make it a point, when visiting in NO, to go and visit or drive by some of the still standing homes of the greats. Some are within walking distance, if properly armed, from my sons home in Central City. Jazz also nudged me into documentaries on on some of the players, prohibition, and other music festivals. Quite the rabbit hole.
  16. There is hole like that out a Reimers Ranch over by the sex cave area. My kids go in there while they are fucking around waiting to climb. Makes me nervous every time. Opening is small, no way I can fit in there.
