  1. I neglected to turn on my sarcasm meter this AM. Sorry.
  2. Convient to the "new" Dragons Lair location.
  3. Seriously? I'm really not trying to be a Surly ass. You've never heard of Crown and Anchor? Did you attend UT? Really, Crown was among the best known places.
  4. Imma throw this in and stop hogging the mic.
  5. To keep both my history and the spirit of the thread, places that were around, and still are: (no wonder I got so damn fat, and yes I'm a nerd)
  6. Upon my return to Austin after a 10 year hiatus in Chicago and prior to my re-departure, I loved this place: (Think it is still open)
  7. Quack N' Bushes I believe now called Quacks bakery
  8. Poss East also had very solid burgers. That was over by the Engineering buildings.
  9. I'm with you hence why I tried to balance it with places still open.
  10. The GM Steakhouse, that was a fun place. I'm brain farting on the coffee shop right down the road with a bunch of smelly hippies and great beans and rice. It's over in Hydepark now, next to a great restaurant:
  11. There is one in Dallas (off lovers and upper Greenville) and pretty sure 1 still in Austin and Houston. https://texadelphia.com/
  12. Well, that and vintage clothing stores. 😉 So as to keep the positive going:
  13. Not there anymore, but I loved the more that 2 decades I spent in Austin. I lived at the corner of 28th and Nueces. So.. the picks below all resonate a ton, as they were all stumbling distant.
  14. Honestly, I am very confident that's a specific choice by TC to "relate" to his target market.
  15. 380, as in 9mm kurtz or 308? I'd add 300 blackout to that list too. In fact, aside from ammo price, I'd be okay not having 556 personally. As for fun, I love my lever in 38/357 and if you get a Ruger Vacaro you can run both with fairly inexpensive 38. I have also think it required to add 22 ans 12 g. Rabbit hole, I found it. I'll see myself out.
  16. Tshirt (nice material please) Front: SURLYHORNS (yeah all caps) Back Top: I'm Highly Regarded Below: Second Option Back: Both Tacos (white letters) Above: Trixie!!!! I'd buy that knife
  17. Well, one may consider something like Buffalo Bore a "hand load" or custom load. While it's not factory ammo, that's an ammo I trust so I guess in that case I make exceptions to my rule if you will.
  18. I'm not a "coach" or nearly as wise as many on Surly, but I am of the belief that you need a good OL for the good old ground and pound.
  19. I agree that it really should be on your body. I ride with a small camelback. I keep it in there or in a jacket. One of my spills, long ago, and end over my bike was a good 50 yards down the road. If I'd had a neck or back injury, I was never making it. It was definitely the turkey! Tryptophan makes folks sleepy and speed hungry. Science!!!
  20. Well, since gear and wrecks came up I thought I would throw in a piece that's always with me. I ride off road and on, not infrequently alone, and frequently in very remote locations. Whether you fall into this group or not, I recommend a locator beacon. You might not have faculty to use it if your in too bad a way, but it's great to have if you are injured and in a remote location. I use the one in the link below. It's a simpler beacon and the cost reflects the one way, no frills aspect. It is however, small enough to keep in a riding jacket or somewhere on your bike if needed. https://www.rei.com/product/156622/acr-electronics-rescueme-plb1-personal-locator-beacon
  21. Not being judgemental but I'll never, ever understand someone shooting hand loads they didn't load themselves.
  22. I'm still pissed about Bleacher Gate. I should be well over it by now, but I'm not.
  23. Yeah, that's a terrible choice. Saw OP or otherwise fixed it in title.
